The road to being your own boss!!!

[Andy Collins]

I think the really good climbers get faster and faster, reach a peak of skill and speed combined, then pick up injuries, get older and slower and more bitter that someone else is making money from their sweat and then they think, hey know what? I can run a business cos I'm such a good climber...well guess what...few can.

Is it an age thing? I started late 38yrs, 4yrs on, i'm rapid and know the lot, only injuries are a part-dislocated thumb (keeps locking out, have to pop it back, every morning)

re the thread title:

 

its full of pot holes, traffic lights, bad drivers, spot of road rage and the odd breakdown.

That's twice now that I've responded to you Skyhuck and you haven't replied. The other one in my boots thread.

 

You know I love you and respect your opinion, but what's wrong with me being as straight talking as you are?????

 

I have to assume that i've won both exchanges:001_smile:

Perhaps he's just being sensible and not responding to the bait you're laying down...good on him.

Perhaps the age thing is a little bit out, but some climbers work really hard at getting faster and faster and better and better, then it all slows down, the aches hurt more, the muscles strain easier, the knees knock, and the lungs rattle. It's a tired, clapped out motor that you're willing to get you home every day, till retirement or Tescos trolley wally job comes up

I confess that I am laying down a ball but not just for the sake of argument.

 

I rellly do think that something positive can come out of all of this.

 

On the derail front though, guilty as hell:001_smile:

It’s quite possible that I can be cheaper than half of you lot (because I do it myself), Do a better job (I’ve been doing it longer than most of you and served my time unlike half you lot), and make more profit (low overheads).

 

Wow, you must be awesome dude! Do you use a rope and harness or does the cape and underpants work for you?

 

Look out everyone, Albedo's too good for us to disagree with him:lol:

In what way. Because it's not just towing the line or what?

 

If you don't like it being the boss I can leave, or you can tell me to.
