Thanks slackline.

Im finding my feet here. All pointers gratefully accepted.

This forum is very much like many others.

Although if you've only really used UKC then it will feel unfamiliar as UKC use their own "bespoke" forum software (which in my opinion is inferior to opensource solutions such as the Simple Machines Forum that powers UKB here).

See the Wiki UKBouldering.com site FAQ for a handful of useful articles.

Seems to be manners to let folks know when an item is taken.

Hard grit video has gone, winging its way to new owner.

On the scrounge-

Looking for an old used but useable pair of rock shoes size 7, for teenage daughter to use when she visits at school holidays.

Also looking for a pre loved fingerboard, manufactured or home made, and any surplus used Mickys.

Will collect in bristol.

Thanks.

[slackline]

any surplus used Mickys.

Huh? 

[crimp]

Sorry, went all a bit 80s climbing rhyming slang there. Got over inspired by seeing Ron again.

Mickys = Michaels

Michaels = Michael Boltons

Michael Boltons = bolt on holds.

Come on Slackers, how did you not get that?

Is that rock shoes size 7 or street shoe size 7?

If the latter I'm a street shoe 7 and I've got a pair of 5:10 Verdes and a pair of Dragons that fit me (from memory they're both size 6.5, though of course being 5:10s this means practically nothing), both of which only just gone through the toe(s), would be fine for an occasional / beginner.

Was about to chuck them in the bin so you're welcome to one of the other pair, or both - only thing is I'm in Leeds, happy to post if you want to make a donation to Headway for the amount.

Oh, and I'm not one of these sock-wearing people so caveat emptor on the aroma of a pair of well used climbing shoes!

[crimp]

My bad!

The terminology's different now.

I've only ever done E1/E2 tops, which today would make me punter.

Perhaps we need a back in the day glossary.

Now routes/problems can be UK/French/US/font/V grades, whatever.

Back in in the day we used big Ron Fawcett's grading: was it hard Ron? Aye, it took 2 fags!

Grade sorted and understood.

[crimp]

Thanks tommytwotone.

That's much appreciated

She's 6 and half, 7, street shoe so sounds ideal.
 
I'll PM you my address later. Post them second class, i only get to see her at school holidays, so no mad rush.

Include your address, and I'll happily send you postage back and a donation for headway in cash. Can't donate mesen, no credit cards, bank accounts, etc.

Thanks.

Shoes, sorted.

Hi tommytwotone.

I think i sent you a pm with details.

Can you please confirm. Thanks. Its not showing up on my sent messages.

I passed something to someone on this forum before, and didn't get sent message notifications then either.

Cheers bud.

(Ps it might be me being tech retarded. If so, don't spank me, show me how)

There is a check-box underneath where you write your Personal Messages (PM) that needs to be ticked to "Save a copy in [your] outbox".

If you didn't check this box the sent message won't appear in your sent messages folder.

No worries fella, you're coming through loud and clear - will bring those shoes in tomorrow and stick them in the post for you; I'm on a mission to clear my house up in anticipation of Mrs. Tone moving in, so your taking them off my hands is much appreciated!

[crimp]

 

Cheers slackline

Duly noted for future.

you're definitely my go to person for site how to tech stuff.

I would plus 1 your karma every time you help me out, but don't know how.

Ps any help you need with 80s climbing lingo, see me.

[slackline]

I would plus 1 your karma every time you help me out, but don't know how.

You can only do so after having made 50 posts (if I remember correctly).

[crimp]

Well when i reach that you're first on my list, for being so welcoming and helpful from day one.

 

[crimp]

Slackline

i explained a Mickey for you.

Return the favour. Why wad? What's the derivation?

Cheers bud

[slackline]

No idea, was in place/use before I joined.

When referring to a person as a "Wad" I take it to mean that they are very good (at climbing).

In terms of karma, I guess its "You've been helpful".

Certainly doesn't mean What A Dick in these parts.

[rich d]

I know it's better to give than receive but just bust my kitchen scales, does anyone have a spare set of digital ones for my bread related exploits?

[crimp]

WANTED

Bit of an outside chance ask this one.

I am after a pre loved laptop in Bristol area. See mobular phones and laptops Thread, slackline says what i need, probably means more to you than me.

In return, i offer you a day of my time, to assist you with diy, gardening, charity work, whatever. Won't do your work/business mind. That's outside the point.

Cheers

[cofe]

I've got a Jessops slide viewer if anyone wants it. Like this:



And a Sharp Ghetto Blaster, like this:



It's a bit battered, and needs a power lead, but I think it works. Ideal for the cellar climber who wants to roll mad thug in the clutch while training.

In Sheff.
