People I Have An Irrational Dislike Of- Part One

Mountaineers, specifically people who go climbing one of the really big mountains like Everest or K2.

Look all you’ve done is go up a big rock, realised that there is nothing at the top and come back down again. I specifically dislike you if you are in the media for creating some kind of obscure record- youngest Briton up Everest, Most times up Everest, first up Everest on a pogo stick or whatever. I am not remotely impressed.

And you are selfish, the death rate for these big mountain climbs is horrendous yet you continue to do it. Risking your life not to rescue people from burning buildings, or defending your country but climbing up and down a big fucking rock.

And you have names like Kenton Cool and are married to people called Jazz Cool. If names influence one’s personality how smug must they be?

Frankly I hope you all freeze your fingers off.
