Occupy the Lake District

[Doggy Styles]

In some circles it's considered impolite, as one of its meanings is "sexually exhausted".

Or more literally, "my testicles are empty".

So if you say that instead of "I'm knackered", you can see how some might raise an eyebrow.

since when was knackered a swear word?

I was knickered though! They'd cut right into the crack of my ar$e

I am going to set up a tent next summer, in Keswick as a protest to the capitalist system that makes me work for my money.
Then I plan to march on Skiddaw, or Catbells if I have a hangover

yeah, Catbells.

I will bring the system crashing down. oh yes.

provided the camping and caravaning club will have me

Lake District's a bit wet. If you make it the New Forest, I'm in.

My favourite knots:

• Bowline, Bowline on a bight, double bowline : Handy, easy to undo loop, multi-purpose. "King of knots"
• Figure of eight, packers tie : Climbers knot, multi-purpose. Can be a bitch to undo
• Taut line hitch : Campers knot, for making, err, taut lines
• Clove hitch, Constrictor hitch : Scout's knot
• Alpine butterfly : Climbers knot (makes a loop in a rope)
• Truckers hitch : Good for making guitar sounds, it's makes string that taut
• Prusik: Survivalist's knot. Climb up a rope
• Sheet bend, double sheet bend : Easy to undo knot used to join string
• Double Fisherman's Bend : Bastard to undo knot for joining string permanently
• Reef knot : Housemaid's knot for wrapping parcels

You missed the sheep shank.

I was once up on the side of Skiddaw watching motorbike trials.

Keswick is nicer than St Pauls for a demo. Wetter though.

I rented a holiday flat in Keswick at Easter and got up and down Skiddaw in 4 hours! I was kn*ckered
