Don't think the council will let them keep the wall up in the park for the week after.

I'm saying tey're the best cos that's what rankings tell usStew wasn't there last year either though, so the comp was only one missing little-dave and one Diane due to the world cup.Maybe if I had done better I would be upset, or if I was in Dave's position

Fantastic effort Leah & Nigel. Oh and also to Travs who's at least 10 years older than Gaz who was probably 18 years older than most of the competitors.
That's competitions. If people are injured, banned or just don't enter well tough titty.
Hopefully there won't be a similar clash in future.
FFS! Look North have just ruined my morning by showing a close up of Graeme A talking about this weekend's comp. He did appear to be sober though.
Adam, You've been guilty of using 'your' instead of "you're" (etc) on so many occasions I really can't be bothered to find a few examples, so perhaps rather than being a twunt you should just admit that you were too lazy, drunk or what ever to pay attention to what you were typing. Far better that than carry on as you have.
It's easy to snipe from the margins but when you consider the overall economic situation to get the event to develop as it has gives it the potential to go on and become a calandar fixture and attract not only the world's best climbers but also other genuinely exciting events.
From the perspective of a paying punter I thought that the comp was really very well organised and the event overall goes from strength to strength.
Personally I think that the suggestion that the credibility of the BBC was reduced because of the potential non appearance of a potential winner or two is utter shite, as has been pointed out already, ffs it's not as if I sneaked into third place behind Percy's dog and the park keeper is it?Adam, You've been guilty of using 'your' instead of "you're" (etc) on so many occasions I really can't be bothered to find a few examples, so perhaps rather than being a twunt you should just admit that you were too lazy, drunk or what ever to pay attention to what you were typing. Far better that than carry on as you have. I think an apology is in order, if you have any idea of the work and personal committments that go into an event like this you'd realise that a potential clash of a domestic comp with the first world cup bouldering event to be held in the UK (I could be wrong) with all that goes with it is a small price to pay.
Fuck off. mutatis mutandis.

Whoa Hold the front page. Where's the anti-comp invective??. I'm certain that you gave me both barrels for being mildly supportive about comps on UKC a few years ago. Is this some new Lib-Dem coalition policy that you're toeing the line on?
Red, shall I go find a Pears or similar so we can pretend that we're all learned and that?
