What do you do if...

Jim:
Stop paddling with this muppet. If something happens to him, it's your fault Bex. Seriouly, tell him to fuck off.

Jim.

mmmmm:
Is this the same guy that you're trying to source replacement paddles for?? What do you want to do that for if he's such a danger on the water?

bexifurr:
what happened orignally after he told me that he wouldnt take any instruciton fom rme on the water was that i told him i absolutely wouldnt not paddle him again unles he did.


that was fine.

so i didnt paddle with him again.

he was told by an experienced paddler that he should do day two before day one. he got bored on the hairy lemon because i wouldnt paddle with him. so he left for nre. i follwed him the next morning. he had told people he had kayaked th a zam, when he had rafted it and paddled that lest three rapids only. i put the record straight and told most of the paddlers what the dealio was, what standard he really is and how he wont take anyones advice on the river.

one day i was going paddlin with some brits, he saw us getting changed and he told us he was coming too. before ribcage he was told the line by no less than three paddlers and he was 'following' the line of a kiwi guy.


when he came back to the campsite with his broken blades, he said no one had told him the line.


of course everyone know then that he just hadnt listened because i had predicted this.


i posted re paddles for him purely because he has asked me too. i dont expect any response.


we are in rwanda at hte moment and when we return ina  few days i wil tell him in no uncertain terms that i am not paddling with him becuase he wil not follow directions or advice. he has a very bad name a the campsite, for this, and all the kayakers are aware of the situation. he has been spoken to by a few of the kayakthenile leaders and also by the m,anager of the campsite re his attitude ot the river.


thanks for all your help guys. gotta split, in mad rush

You did everything you could, nothing more you could do. Sorry he didn't listen. Try the stick with nail in it, use it to punctuate your sentences.

Donnie:
Becks,
I'm slightly lost. Who is this Enda muppet and where did he come from?

Its not the first time, I've heard of inexperienced paddlers consistently ignoring the advice of their betters, but they don't generally get past the Annamoe. How do they end up in Uganda?

Seems like the kind of character who might also ignore advice about taking maleria tablets and other related matters as well. The river could be the least of his worries (albeit it all of yours).
