Why do people buy "climbing jeans"? If you want a loose fitting pair of jeans for climbing in that look as if you've paid £15 for them from Sainsbury's then I'd recommend paying £15 for them from Sainsbury's instead of £60. Sorry Graeme....
I feel sorry for Pete if Mills has access to his house...

Lurgy - yes we all have it, best not to visit till mid next week when hopefully we will be a snot free venue - also who is Hoppo? And I want to come try one of these late night cave sessions - if of course inviting oneself along is acceptable. I have never been to Parisellas. I know, shocking.'Gis a job like' - ok, as you asked so nicely.
All the places you could take a lamp, why Parisella's? You're not missing out on much having never been.
