If you want to have your user name changed back then you need to complete Form 27B-6 and pass it to the correct department

To quote Sweden's best non-female rock climber:

Quote
To me it symbolised a bunch of spoiled middle-class American pro-climbers naïve attempt to create a group-identiy when they by themselves totally lack personality.  When I am watching flicks like “Schengen Files” I am filled by disgust, and seriously wants to quit climbing for good. It is a pathetic attempt to identify with an urban gang-culture they in reality know fuck-all about.

Guessing Belhaj? Doubting Jens unless he's trying to commit bankruptcy?

Not Belhaj (who is much to polite/old for rants like that, and probably *is* sweden's best climber when I think about it...)

That's interesting Jwi, would you or anyone else for that matter call it a rant? I read it n thought every bit of what was said was right on the money. He could ave delivered this news tongue in cheek, deadpan or indeed ranting but as a statement I thought every bit was true. As we know, the game is the game, n you can't hate the playa

Umm not sure about that dense.

On Monday I met a friend of mine who I know through playing tennis. We are both pretty typical middle aged white folk. We were dressed in suit and tie. Rather than shake hands or say hello when we met, we tagged fists.

I also sometimes use words like nowt, tinternet, positiveteh and aye which suggest regional allegiances I do not have.

No real agenda, just fun to do. A bit like climbing, eh?
