Ian, when describing Chas (who you clearly have not met, yet), the following words & phrases:
Impeccably dressed.
Super organised
Neat
Pedantic
OCD
Packer Extraordinaire
Punctual
Curt
Short & to the point
Tracker/Direction finder
On point
Gets stuff done..
Are of no use to you.
But he is a fantastic old chap & a joy to camp with.
When you meet him ask him to tell you about the esteemed 'Order of the Black Kettle'...
… Pedantic Mannifold …
I had a peek at your unusual list
and must admit many of these descriptors
are just not me !
Im definitely not a pedant nor an OCD guy,
… suspect they may in fact apply to you
or are conditions to which you aspire !
I dont strive to be a packer extaordinaire’ !
nor ‘super-organized’ !
nor be ‘impeccably dressed’ !
… who would , especially when enjoying ones retirement,
after a long career of achievement.
As for other stuff … it may be contentious,
… I get by just fine … for me .
… but your Pedantic and OCD items
their inclusion really puzzled me !!!
Do you actually know what they mean ???
Maybe look them up or ask a friend !!!
