  This is great, like how ebay should be.

[tomtom]

Pink Anasazi.

And a pain au chocolat... (OK, two)

[soapy]

I bid all of the above; but instead of the Jingo Robbery Font Guide, I offer 3/4 of a roll of Andrex toilet tissue (unused, peach colour) which is far more usefull.

..there'd certainly be fewer typos


back to bidding..

Does it matter? I offer all of the previous, plus a copy of Paul Dearden's Classic Rock Climbs. A gem amongst climbing books. Beat that Einstein.

[Jaspersharpe]

lol

[fatboySlimfast]

Ive got the clincher.....
a shabby paperback copy of touching the void that somebody at work has read and tries to engage you in conversation because they know you are a climber and it about climbing right, what a mad sport you do eh! Sheesh! I did it a bit of it at school you know, yeah abseiling mainly, never really took to it.........see the game last night?







 

[Jaspersharpe]

How high have you climbed? Have you seen that French chap who freeclimbs up buildings with no ropes and just a bag of talcum powder to stop his feet from slipping?

[magpie]

Be thankfully people actually think you climb, if anyone asks me about climbing it's generally related to which Munroe I went up at the weekend, cause obviously, being a dainty wee girl it's inconceivable that I might do anything more Xtreme than a bit of light rambling. 

Um, I have nothing to offer in return for the books, sorry.   

[SA Chris]

"Do you do proper rock climbing with those crampons you hammer into the rock? Yeah? How do you get back down again, and what do you do if your rope isn't long enough to get to the top of the mountain"

[magpie]

We clearly know the same people. 

[moose]

obviously, being a dainty wee girl it's inconceivable that I might do anything more Xtreme than a bit of light rambling. 

To be fair I get the same and I'm 6'3" of  man-meat.  Two of the worst offenders are my parents ("Climbing, we'd be good at that, we've done Striding Edge you know").  They are firmly convinced that climbing overhanging rock is a total physical impossibility and remain baffled as to why can't I prevent grit-rash / splitters / flappers by wearing gloves.

[lagerstarfish]

I'll do you a straight swap for 15 copies of "With Bare Hands" the egography of that French bloke who takes up loads of police time to get loads of attention. I have 15 copies because I have been stealing them from shops in Sheffield - not because I like the book, but because I like the (flawed) idea of none of my money going to the skinny smug git. Each one comes with a signed statement from me guaranteeing that not one penny of the RRP went to the "author".

* edit *
I'll also chuck in my Jingo Robbery Font Bog Roll (25% already used)

[soapy]

stop with the jingo flobbery,already..







..and to think, all petejh really wanted was use of the swivel chair

[SA Chris]

I have an original copy for the predecessor to any jingo flobbery - the seminal publication David Jones's Rock Climbing Guide to Europe. Am willing to sell or trade for anything; a pain au raisin, a slice of flan or even a pink anasazi.

[lagerstarfish]

Is it any less scratchy than the Font Roll?

[SA Chris]

Definitely. Printed on plain paper, none of that painful gloss finish, and more absorbent to boot.

[andy_e]

I'll swap Power of Climbing for whatever it was that was being offered.

[Palomides]

I'll swap Power of Climbing for whatever it was that was being offered.

Pfft. I'll swap a copy of Extreme Rock for whatever it was that was being offered.

[Monolith]

Never did get that hoover off you cofe. My house is a fucking mess without it.

I'm all sorted for Hard Rock but for Extreme Rock, I'll offer 'What the Victorian Boulderers Did For Us', a complete (bar the elusive Archie) 1987 Panini sticker album 'One Man and His Dog', and a signed copy of Joe Simpson's latest book 'Another Fucking Epic'. Dealski?

[andy_e]

I'll offer 'What the Victorian Boulderers Did For Us'

If it's signed by Adam Hart-Davis I'll have this...

I'll swap a tesco hoover for the books.
