The Cuthberts Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 For someone that can ask one of the Cuthberts to guide people that have never seen a GPSr around a strange woodland in Hampshire when: a) They had only been GC'ing for 5 weeks; They only had pure coordinates; c) They got lost getting to the NCC event; Definitely Yes !!!!! (Sorry.... that should read HCC!) Andy Woof, Miaow, Baaa Oh and Oink, where's my pint also !! Quote Link to comment

StealthGoth Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 I am not a nutter, I only have a reversed polarity mentality. Which does not do my any harm, but does cause confusion in my immediate surroundings! Quote Link to comment
+Mr & Mrs Hedgehog Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 I'd be careful what you say here... lible laws and all that.... Omally once sued someone when they said he was like a nutter... he was awarded £1,000 compensation.... mind you the nutter sued for being compaired to Omally and he got a million There are 10 kinds of people in this world.

Sparticus Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 I met Neil recently at the HCC event. At first he seemed somewhat of a decent fellow. Then the hammer blow, "here's an etrex and some people you don't know, they can win a GPSr if you guide them through the undergrowth near here. Nice to meet you Andrew, now, off you go.' I also think he called me Farticus, so the answer is definately YES. Oh, and who else would fill his car up with other nutters and go across to the IOW caching on the cheap!! Quote Link to comment
+Lost in Space Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 Anyone that refers to me and my "Dad" as old codgers must be a nutter Quote Link to comment

Definitely the good sort. Stu Time for me to jump to the defence of the man For anyone who saw him in the middle of a wood at 2am dressed in a black trenchcoat during the HCC night cache......oh hang on I am supposed to be defending him.... The wooly Viking helmet has a logical use...He uses it to stick a gps antenna to it with velcro.....Erm... Ok the truth is that O'mally is raging mad if by that you mean someone who is passionate about caching, loves the countryside, reads several books a week drinks huge amounts of beer, is prepared to ride a motorbike round Britain to raise money for charity, and still found time to help out with the organising of the HCC event, and the thing that impresses me the most is that he can play "Classical Gas" on the guitar.

It was far more sensible to wear that hat to distinguish himself from the ordinary Southampton residents. It took me ages to persuade him it was NOT a good idea to wear his Portsmouth Football Club shirt . Oh and it was taken 'nearly' after the 9pm watershed so most young children should have been in bed and hence not would not have suffered nightmares .
