Find a quote of me agreeing that drytooling on Millstone was a good idea?

Holy mother of fuck!!  What is this:

In reply to Gareth H:

I reckon it's a troll. Good one if it is though. Bon effort and obviously some time went into it (although that chap does seem to have deleted his profile...)

If it's not I don't really see a massive problem. The main one being that they were top roping, which i'd have a problem with if they were in rock boots. The UKC pictures show millstone to be in condition, so as long as care is taken, fair enough really.

Shit the bed, it's Franco saying "dry tooling at Millstone is not a problem".  Oh, and also that "dry tooling at Millstone is fair enough really".

Franco, you really need to ensure that you didn't say something before you come here and slag people for saying you said it.  Because you clearly said these things, and then give abuse and claim it's all made up and slanderous.

Which in my book makes you a prime fucking tit.  Now, please take your whining bullshit elsewhere.


{you are lucky I'm being restrained after making a right twat of myself last night, or I may have said something nasty}

AndyE. A request for more talk from the suburbs da Ghetto please... most amusing 

Um, I can't risk it...

[SA Chris]

I don't understand how making up quotes is funny.

Are you now denying that you said those things?

Get real you deluded twat, they are there for all who can be bothered to see.

Jesus i take back what i said earlier, i thought i was talking to someone with some intelligence, or at least understood a thing or 2 about climbing.

I wonder if you have balls when not on the internet?

Dylan would quite happily beat you to death with his robot legs as well as slag you off on the interweb.

I don't know you (I hope) but on the interweb, you come across as being a total and utter dick head and have made, if anything a negative contribution towards this problem. Fuck off

[Baron]

You're a brave man calling Dylan out. Or an idiot.

Oh...

[hairich]

i will take dylan out

[hairich]

sorry that came out wrong.

anyone who thinks that dry tooling on grit is ok , i will happily meet you in the peak and cut your fucking ropes myself

 

[Baron]

Uncledirty outs Dylog!

[account_inactive]

i will take dylan out

Sorry Rich I'm taken

[Carnage]

You're a brave man calling Dylan out. Or an idiot.

Oh...

Nah - He's a pussycat really. 

[Paul B]

There's a pic up (OCF for the geeks among us) on UKC of it 'in condition' i.e. someone soloing it

I'm almost a pixie

Picking on pixies is neither big nor clever.

However...

Pixies are well known for the enormous size of their balls (relatively speaking)

[grumpycrumpy]

I always thought Moth balls were the biggest , relatively speaking ......

[Snoops]

PS. have a vote on the recent millstone news on http://francocookson-climbing.blogspot.com/

It's understanding that makes it possible for people like us to tolerate a person like yourself

Go on Franco, have a pop at Jim too. He's really small and weak.

[nik at work]

I'm small, you can pick on me.

Norton, I puntered you for that response. Calum McLellan, who you responded to, isn't the Calum who was dry tooling at Millstone. He posted for the same reason as Waldo - to point out that Adam had named the wrong person as the belayer. This seems fair enough, especially given the angry response this issue has (rightly) evoked, it'd be pretty upsetting to be wrongly accused of being involved. Their posts were entirely clear in this regard, the only possible source of confusion is that Calum McL shares a first name with Calum N. If you missed that I'd say the appropriate response is to apologise.

You seriously think "you can fuck off too" is an appropriate response to two people pointing out that a freind of theirs is being wrongly associated with actions that are evoking such threats?

You're right.  I'm wrong.  I apologise.  I'll get me coat.

[fatdoc]

the first one hurts,  eh?
 

[GCW]

When you get to 18 you're just thankful for Andi_e and Franco, it'd take some work to catch up

[chummer]

one more in support of the motion: "piss off somewhere else please Franco"

[fatdoc]

Why, is it legal then?
 

[Falling Down]

I'm glad the Internet, text messages and voicemail didn't exist when I was a teenager. 

Yes, Franco can be, and is, at times a total dick but I'd also like to see some restraint in the responses as it just seems a bit OTT to be venting on a child.

(Howzat for smug and superior??)
