I'll be there by the way.

Despite the long journey, I'll be there - as usual I'll be the one at the bar chatting to an attractive woman who probably isn't my wife

I have a small pot of hakarl in the fridge - if people are interested in partaking of this unusual substance I'm happy to bring it along. I'm not allowed to open it in the house or keep it in the fridge once it has been opened and there's no way I can finish it in one sitting (IKR!), so looking for an opportunity to share it - Sheaf garden should be fine. Anyone else interested?

It sounds truly revolting!!  :sick:

But yea I'll try it  :blink: - Just gotta work at getting a pass out from the Mrs now (gonna be tricky as I've already committed to doing the Tideswell fell race on Friday - fingers x'd)

:D

Ladies and Gentlemen, you will be no doubt enraged and depressed to hear that this weekends UKB Pissup will be feature a guest appearance from one time poster and serial downgrader, the one and only Le Grande Ventre himself - Sloper.

Be prepared to be entertained by such riveting tales as "When I was on a VS in Wales and got a bit off line and ended up 70ft up an E5", "When I sandbagged Dave Graham in Font", "When I engaged Johhny Dawes in a bout of naked Greco-Roman wrestling (Private School rules)" and many others*.   

Please ensure that your piss taking engines have been specially tuned and are running at maximum boost pressure for this most momentous of occasions as they will no doubt be exercised fully.

NB. Anyone who is actually enraged and depressed about this I heartily recommend that you console yourselves with the fact that it is only for one evening and not for the weekend which is the truly delightful option that I have undertaken for your dubious pleasure.

*Some of these examples may have exaggerated or even completely made up to make this post sound better than it is!

You're all in for treat.

Over many years of cyber argument I'd never actually met Sloper and then just the day after he reappeared here I turned up at Harmers to find him insitu. It didn't turn into a pitched battle over Neo-liberalism etc., etc. yadda, yadda, yadda.

Now we just need the second coming of the Dark Lord, aka Houdini.

 Sounds like I'm going to miss a good night out, but sadly I'll be in London sticking upholstery pins into Pandas.......

I reckon I met Sloper (can't be that many Peak-based boulderers who smoke cigars at the crag) at Stanage when all the snow was there. Seemed like a nice guy, encouraging and only made one comment about "lefties". Reminded me how much internet forums can bring out the worst in people.

I might come but I don't drink so not particularly psyched for the pub. Is there some kind of pre-pissup climbing planned?

I met up with sloper in London for a few drinks a few years back. He told a story about when he was on a VS in Wales and got a bit off line and ended up 70ft up an E5. Not sure if he has told anyone else but a very good story.

Leaving us to put down his tent in Font which upon closer inspection didn't only stink like it'd had the sweaty oaf in it all week but had also been the pissing ground for half of the peak district's cats tends to bring out the worst in me  :sick:

I'll look forward to catching up with the old Pheasant Plucker!

:D

Now you mention it I think I had a similar experience when meeting a well-spoken fellow at Burbage North. I had my[size=0pt] suspicions and the penny finally dropped when he blazed up a cigar.


Not sure what my plans are tomorrow - in the interests of getting / keeping my pass out I'm spending the day time with my good lady, but could pop over for a look at that new Heeley Boudler if it's dry / anyone fancies it?

I had somehow forgotten that - thanks so much for the reminder!  :-\

No doubt that Font story will get a good airing tomorrow night along with a critique of his exquisite dress sense on the day of my 40th on the same trip.  ;)

I bumped into Sloper at the recent crag clean up that is Tremfest. He was his usual affable self; it was good to see him again.

My hands are shredded from pissed up ascents of (and attempts on) the new Heeley boulder. That rotten shark stuff smelled as bad as it's description.

It was bloody awful - I instantly regretted my bravado at wanting to try some.


Good to see everyone, had a great night...right up to the point where I left my phone in the taxi from The Sheaf to the train station.  :furious:

That was very amusing to say the least - what was not so amusing was finding out at 2AM this morning that I had left my cigarettes there resulting in walking back to retrieve the bloody things.  ::)

I can still smell and taste the shark. It got worse with each piece.

Good night. Very funny.

Take it you haven't got your phone back Tom.

Can't believe that happened after we were discussing leaving your phone in a taxi earlier in the evening.

Don't need to worry about the crack in the screen now anyway..... :(

So...kudos to Mercury taxis, callled them yesetrday and the driver has found (and kept hold of my phone).

Turns out they're not allowed to keep lost property, so they offered to get him to drop it at the police station...when I mentioned that wasn't going the be the best solution they've passed on my number to him so hoping he'll give me a call and I can arrange getting it back.
