Walked for an hour today into the hills to try my project.  Got there, and it transpires that some fucker has nicked my pad.  There was a choice of three, and they took the best one.

Sorry - this is not news, but thought it was a good way to grab attention.  I won;t mention the boulder, but its in Wales, and gets no traffic whatsoever - its a fucking long walk.

If anyone's mate has rocked up lately with a blue Metolius Boss Hogg (hardly used), with a carpeted inside, please let me know.  Or, if you are the thieving toe rag, you can hand it in at V12 or Indy, no questions asked.

The other way is that I see you with it (I will know its mine), and this will hurt.  Can you fucking believe it?  I am livid.  Again, I will know its mine...

Ah balls! Back around!

[dobbin]

Done- sorry. Must admit I only skimmed his text

[fried]

What do you mean you've changed the offensive bits?

I can still see c.j.d's post which somehow seems to think that it's O.K to imply that gypsies are thieves. I'm pretty strung out on back ache medicine and wine, but I carefully reread the post to make sure that I hadn't missed anything.

I apologise to anyone - (clm) for my coments but I'd hoped that it was obvious that my comment was evidently about the fact that casual racism against gypsies seems to be becoming completely acceptable in polite society.

Racism is never acceptable. And I appreciate that comments on forums can be misinterpreted. Sorry again for any offense caused.

[dobbin]

Yes but it doesn't say anything about gypsies. Forget that it ever said that please. His message is still valid even if the way he said it wasn't.

[dobbin]

Oh you mean I deleted your comment, which yes I understood was in response to Cjd. What I'm saying is that I have removed the racism and the responses to it - to make it about the fact that chris' pasa were stolen, as Chris still has a valid message and axe to grind. You've now turned it back round to the racism!

whats that about gypsies?

[dobbin]

They're the fucking bomb! I heard they rescue baby dolphins from tuna factories with nets made from the hair of virgins

[dave]

True dat. I hear they also clear litter from welsh hillsides. Salt of the earth.

[Oldmanmatt]

Which hairs?

Bugger, did I say that out loud?

must be hair from very young gypsies....as they'll soon be sexually assaulted/kidnapped at appleby fair, or as they call it "grabbing"

[Richie Crouch]

That sucks Chris. Hope it makes it's way back somehow! I'll have 2 blue boss hogs with me on Saturday but can guarantee they were stolen from the local wall and not an isolated boulder out in the hills 

[c.j.d.]

Okay, okay.  Point taken.  Thieving gypsy climbers.  Sorry!! Thieving bloody climbers.  Jesus, you've got to be careful not to offend anyone these days, especially cage fighting caravan dwellers.
 

[c.j.d.]

Actually, on a re-think.  The reference 'Thieving Gypsies' seems to offend.  I've had travelling friends for years who would laugh at the reference (and have).

The fact here, without resorting to apparent racism, is that no one has commented on the action itself - theft.  I guess because its foam, it's okay?  God - climbers - you have to fucking love em - the moral standards of a bloody gypsy, the lot of them.

[yorkshireman]

im sure many people wont class it as theft when something is left miles from knowhere,seemingly abandoned and also many people wont bother commenting as your initial post wasnt exactly eloquently put and was obnoxious and threatening

To be fair if it was a 'traveller' they probably thought they'd scored a nice new double bed that somebody had dumped   
I'll never forget pulling up at a crag in Avon Gorge to find a van full of pykies ripping the paving slabs up from around the public toilets and loading them into their transit van, this in broad daylight at 10 in the morning.

You're right though, theft amongst climbers sucks arse and I hope you find the culprit.

Release the flying monkeys! Thieving bandits

So, having three pads, under tarp, underneath a pretty awesome boulder would lead you to think abandoned.  What a fucking prick.  There's eloquent for you you fucking idiot.

Again, the sub-standards of a bunch of cunts.
