Sir Ranulph Fiennes

[White Noise]

There was a thread on him before , and to be honest he is a very self centered arrogant person . The type of individual that asks a question and then promptly cuts you off mid reply . Nothing but respect for his achievements . Although the man in my eyes is Lofty Wiseman .

The guy's passed Selection - twice. That puts him in an elite club by itself, before even starting on any of his other achievements.

 

He may well have his character flaws, but don't we all? His lack of perfection in the character department (if true) needn't detract from his obvious talents.

 

And in the recent court case (1) he wasn't a defentant, the production company was and (2) the production company won in the Court of Appeal.

Legend. Got tickets for the talk at the Lowry in Salford. Looking forward to it.

He's one of my heroes for at least putting the record straight about Captain Scott although i admit he has got a touch of arrogance about him . Doesnt detract from the fact he is a British icon and should be a great night

Read his book a few years back - very interesting character with alot of stories to tell.

 

He only became an 'explorer' because he was dismissed from the army after a prank involving lots of explosives!

 

Where did you get the tickets from? I'd like to go to that too.

There you go fella

 

Shud be a good night, i find it hard to form an opinion on the man myself when he's achieved so much at the age that he did, especially as none of the males in my family have lived much past 60 due to ill health, i'm willing to listen to anyone who has something to say based on what they've done not what they think!

thing is lofty only ever followed orders this chap did it off his own back through choice, i don't see how you can even put them in the same picture to be honest

I can see where your coming from . They both deserve respect . What I said earlier wasn't meant to be derogatory in anyway . Sir Ranulph is focused and a high achiever , which could account for a sharper character . Lofty on the other hand relaxed and approachable .

Rupe, do you feel the wording of your post was appropriate or educated? It may not have been intended but to many it could be construed as a comment from a homophobe........
