Sir Chris Bonington turns 90 with vow to fulfil a promise for a friend myoutdoors.co.uk/uk-news/sir-ch… Chris Bonington Berghaus Community Action Nepal

In all the years before Musk took over Twitter I blocked just a single person. In the short time since he took control I've ended up blocking over 300 so far. The two statements are not unconnected.

Chris can't scale the physical heights like he once did, but his sense of adventure is undiminished and his latest quest is to help fulfil a promise made to the Sherpa community by Doug Scott before he died. Have a wonderful day Sir Chris! myoutdoors.co.uk/uk-news/sir-ch… 2/2

If any more followers feel that Musk, Farage, Robinson, Grimes, GBNews et al are simply telling the truth and I'm wrong in blocking so many please do feel free to tell me. I'll be more than happy to assist you in no longer having to put up with my content with immediate effect.

Can you sue for damage to your ribs from laughing? Asking for a friend.
