Wow. Can't wait to see the footage of this :) I remember watching a short on it not long ago, might have been on Jamie Emerson's blog?

The Swedes embarrass us. Many of them (all that I have met in fact) have a far superior command of the English language than the average UK chav.

The Swedes are awesome, we went to a wedding there and they did the whole thing in English. Just to satisfy a few English guests. And when I say the whole thing I mean the whole thing, services, meal, speeches, even to the extent that everybody chatting at the post wedding do did so in English simply so we could join in the conversations if we wanted to. The ninety year old grandfather of the bride did his speech (which was genuinely funny) in perfect English. Staggering.

Was the staggering from drink, age, or a combo of both?  :P

Ah yes, he invented Noblemen.

Sorry, but I think the Swedish Chef is more famous. All Alf Nobel invented was a prize ceremony.

I think Britt Ekland inventing the Britt Awards is more significant.

And Trinitrotoluene (which is somewhat ironic given the "Peace" prize!).

Natalies brother is studying over there and his halls has a sauna and hot tub on the roof.
We had a combi oven that someone left a dead rat on.

Downside is alcohol is all sold by the state and is incredibly expensive, thus his case is always full of vodka when he goes back. To gain extra space he was even wearing his tux to fly in.

what suprised me about this footage is that Woods was able to readjust on some of those holds, suggesting that, in theory, he could climb something harder.

He didn't actually do the problem in any of those clips though did he? Maybe on the actual ascent he hit them all perfectly. Or maybe as it's a 17 move problem, there are points where you can make minor adjustments but the endurance factor still makes it at your limit. Or maybe you're right and he's just a fucking monster!

EDIT - What Krank said.
