Sadly mate, there are these types are around in all walks of life. Usually young & male. They have a narrow view of life, lack maturity & think they are the best. And can't be told anything!
They are found everywhere, even in Leeton there are some in a couple of the emergency services. We call them FIGJAM, normally they don't listen to different points of view & are great at self promotion!
Usually age mellows these individuals, but not always - sadly.
And sometimes these people cause great harm, normally to others in their team (it's always someone else's fault not mine). Knew a fair few in the army, promoted fast but in reality didn't know as much as they thought they did
The good news is that Karma catches up with them & they are forced to eat humble pie
Every dog has it's day
Anyway hope you fishing trip goes well - I'm just going to sign off at have another cold Paley - cheers
