How much is drew from OCD paying the UK Bouldering for the advertising on here?????? :-\

The point is Drew doesnt advertise on here... just his satisfied customers...

I've had an OCD one for three years or so and is been great. But its getting a bit worn out now.

I've just been given (birthday present) a Moon one, and its fine - I quite like it.

I've just had a look at the base-cubic ones... I didnt really think they looked very good and probably wouldnt buy one.

I like PG tips - though prefer Yorkshire Tea. Neither of them sponsor UKB and I dont work for either of them.

Nerves of steel.

True English grit!

Being a soft southener, all I can manage is the round, decaf, ones...

I have an all black moon bucket its great only issue is quite a few people have them. I did once get mine confused with someone else at the depot. I used the wrong one for 30 mins before the person who had mine came and swapped it back.  :oops:

As a chalk bag I have a blox one, which is great except the spring in the toggle has broken and I have been too lazy to replace it

A friend refuses to drink PG Tips because "monkeys drink it".  His inability to differentiate monkeys and apes aside, I see his point.  I wouldn't ask a chimp for a restaurant recommendation.

Back to boulder buckets... the big choice appears to be drawstring or drybag closure.  Anyone sampled both who can provide an educated preference?  Or is it too divisive a matter, are opinions too entrenched?  Have any families and friendships been torn apart by the issue? I sense a great dogma war brewing... there will be blood on a scale not seen since the last calling of the lime!

Thanks for all the positive feedback (as ever) :2thumbsup:
I'm still too lazy to advertise, but fear not, the business is rolling on and the dogs and monkeys (and normal stuff) are still being posted worldwide.
We've done several thousand bags now :greed:, and have been web-based only (no retailers) for nearly 2 years, this is maybe why we we've dropped of the radar a bit.
Thanks again guys. Drew

(Cheers mods)

Does he eat bananas?
Does he throw shit at people?

If he does either of those he's a hypocrite.

I don't have a chalk bucket, so I'm not really up on the issue but if I got one it'd be colourful.  Or cheap.  Preferably both.

Hi Drew, how much are boulder buckets? Your website doesn't mention them - any chance of updating it for the Christmas trade?

I can flog you a "special edition" OCD chalk bag, only £25,000.
