Warrington (nearly Scousers ) and London based mountaineers tackle the highest mountain in Wales in the coldest and most difficult conditions in over 25 years in gym tracksuits and training shoes (plimsolls)....Dohhhh.. They ended up needing to be rescued...Homer would have been proud...

You have to remove yourself from the reproductive pool by your own stupidity (usually, but not always, by dying) to qualify for a Darwin Award. Worthy of an Honorable Mention, though.

Well, if they didn't get a Darwin award it was not for lack of trying. Perhaps they should consider vasectomies so their particular brand of stupid won't spread.

TWO sets of walkers in track suits. Maybe it's a Darwin Awards double elimination tournament.

Well, isn't that odd... the only equipment they DID have with them was a cell phone. Fancy that.

That whole ordeal is baffling.

If they wore tracksuits during the coldest conditions in Wales in 25 years, then they may have already removed themselves from the gene pool. Frostbite can be nasty thing - especially when it affects your personal reproductive organs!

Is it really any wonder now that Great Britain has turned into the Nanny State?

Let's play nice . We don't like negative comments about the US, so let's agree to keep the politics out of the thread.

My 2 cents-

And seconded by the sheriff. We are all on this earth together, linked by unseeable bonds.

Go ahead and make fun of Venusians, though. They are a creepy bunch...big hands, smell like cabbages.
