Just be reading the forum your circulation of blood will be improved, boosting muscle oxygenation and thermal regulation.

Not only that you will experience improved metabolism, stimulated diuresis and less waste.

WTF does that mean?? or have I missed the point...

who has the delete / moderator / responsible power???

no doubt time will tell...

No Jon, it's fine honestly - they have already been in touch with me and asked me to remind you of their ability to heal you. By posting a link... I'm wearing a pair of the prototype legwarmers tonight and have already experienced increased diuresis and a heightened sense of wellness.



Bizarrely I also almost lost my balance while imitating a rather complex James Brown dance move / spin / splits manoeuvre in the parlour earlier...

I saw Big Frank had posted a thread about the same thing.
Needless to say it disappeared pretty quickly.

I thought Mr Popps reply was quite funny. The first one, not this one. This one wasn't very funny.

While we're on the topic of UKC removing posts just have a look at what I wrote and then Alan James' reply. Flagrant denial!Time posted 12:19 Sunday 7th Feb.

Thats exactly why I never post on UKC (OK not never - but my one post in the last year was in the found section...)...
Even the land rover forum seemed to be better moderated (despite many other reasons why I may not like that forum..)

The cynic in me wonders how much it is to do with UKC being a 'commercial site'
The less cynical part of me suspects its due to the character of the owners/moderators/managers....

Anyway, I look forward to hearing who the new owners of UKB are, and hope that they continue to give it the freedom to be as damned good as it is at the moment.  :bow: to Bubba for all his hard work.

It was a reference to Falling Down's post above it, ie the pseudo-science bullshit that Accapi peddle.

Same people as before at the moment.

The site hasn't actually been sold yet, although we're nearly there.

LOL. That's pretty impressively wrong on every count, apart from arguably "offensive" but the offence is at least intended, documented, and kept to certain threads, rather than being the offence of repeated teeth-grinding idiocy featured elsewhere...

Craggs should look closer to home before pointing the finger of juvinility and offence. I note ukc is happy for people to have usernames like "nignogbob".

If that isn't the pot is calling the kettle african-caribean then i don't know what is. 

Instead of slagging off this site i recon Craggs' time would be better spent trying to sell all the copies of "100 best limestone climbs".

In the first ever episode of me using UKB hood speak...wait for it...."word".  Thanks for the bazillions of hours you must have dedicated to this site over the years Bubba.  :pissed:

Thanks for the karma regarding the banner, but it wasn't actually my work or idea ;)

Part of the contract is that you have to post topless gurn pics of yourself, mostly whilst wearing brightly coloured leg warmers.  Climbing equivalent of this I suppose :lol:

If you replace 016 with 006 at the end of that link you can see the label of the leg warmers, should you wish to buy similar ones.

I'd work on the contractual leg-warmer shots but I am too busy being offended by your juvenile posts, you cliquey bastards.  :'(

I hope that's better than whipping a weasel (figuratively speaking of course)...  ;)
