So many of mine must have been like that.
I now wonder what reading them would have been like. Excruciatingly lengthly words, phrases, and sentences in the first two thirds of the of the essay written by me at that time. Relentlessly trying to expand everything as I tried to hit the required word count at 2am. Suddenly becoming brief in the last ⅓.

The laziness of this writing:
“A rock climbing fanatic, he started out as making metal climbing spikes for himself and his friends to wedge into rocks”
Just say “he started out manufacturing climbing hardware from his shed”
Baffled how that mess made it onto the bbc website. I am disproportionately annoyed by this, lol.
