My intro to the scene was going round to see Brooksey and Coatsey when they had just moved down and somehow where sharing a house with someone who shall remain nameless (but his number plate is JCM). 'Twas the middle of the day and the curtains were drawn, knocked on the door to hear a squeaky voice shout come in. I barged in to find the squeaky voiced one bent over the fire with a bottomless bottle in hand. "You want one?" Why not I thought.

The above tale is not mentioned in any book, anywhere.

Isn't there a similar tale of the same fellow and his young sidekick freaking out a French guy at font when he topped out to find them doing hot knives on top of the boulder?

Is  that a personalised  number plate?

[cuboard]

Here's one for you... JCM running into bedroom with a pair of super tight red briefs on, squeaking surprise come and get it....

Unfortunately his shag wasn't to impressed by the size of his pee pee.... 

[cuboard]

Thats not in any book either..

[ianv]

Was that at mine? Danny kicked of with some of my student friends and nocked the entire length our rear garden wall down..think he got a shooing from someone else that night as well

Is this the Danny that lived at our house and had the amazing morphing accent?

My best early 90's story is already on here but probably worth a repost.....

Hope this works as on my phone.

Danny Brooks

Don't suppose any one has contact details for Danny? I'd love to get in touch with him if possible.

Mate he's coming up thursday were gonna be in Broadie for a christmas bevy

[mrjonathanr]

One hazy night at JPs house ( a very specific, New Year's Eve sort of night) gme and john came round pre festivities to chat to a mate of mine from Bradford who now lives in Malaga. The Foundry having opened the very month gme asked...

gme (in Geordie accent)

Wa-hey like! What d'ya think of the new wall?

mate from Bradford carefully scrutinises the room, deliberates and then asks.... (in Yorkshire accent)

Errm..Which one's new?

That may have been the night I convinced him Hunter's Bar was blessed with a '24 hr bakery' - and lo! as we passed at 4am the bakery was open.
The same bakery where in my naivety I repeatedly asked for a 'mint slice' because Brooksie had recommended them so highly. Except they didn't do mint slices. (Have you worked it out yet?)

Andy, have pm'd you.

[fatdoc]

no bendy people of different stature here

in fact no drinking or shagging either

probably not very interesting, but if it gets attention away from Coishie then it's worth saying

told to me by Shaun Hutson (may be late 80s rather than 90s) - I have not checked with the other participants for verification of the facts

Shaun (Hutson) and Andy (Cave) are at the bus stop on Eccy Road with ropes etc - waiting for the Hathersage bus.

A blond lad wearing glasses and also carrying ropes etc approaches them and says in his enthusiastic definitely-not-from-the-north voice "Hi! I'm Dave. I'm a rockstar from Devon."

Shaun and Andy look at each other not quite knowing how to react to such an introduction. Shaun manages to keep a straight face whilst replying "well, I'm a rockstar from Grimsby and he's a rockstar from Barnsley".

Thus Dave Thomas made his entrance into the Sheffield Scene

This is indeed totally true.... I've heard the same from all concerned, separatley?.. No dis to DT though.. It was a mad time... And dozens of us were escaping our family " homes" and desperately trying to find a community we could b comfortable to live in.. Its what helped make the scene for the next 15 years or so... Probably to the benefit of the UK climbing scene... In my old rose spectacled eyes anyways..

Can we have the story about the night said Scotsman had a change of heart about his sexuality?

I thought this was the other strong Scotsman, after a rumble with a certain "southern belle"

[Falling Down]

No it was the Scotsman mentioned earlier & he came out to me and GME one night after he'd given up climbing for podium dancing and died his hair red.  He got married about a month afterwards..

[Falling Down]

I saw Danny down Cheedale about three years ago.  I had to lend him a harness as he'd brought his old one with him from the days when some used to cut the end off the waist loop to save weight.  Needless to say it didn't fit any more.   

[fatboySlimfast]

I remeber watchinga couple of sheffields finest around 95 trying to boulder at minus ten still of there tits from an evidently very heavy night,both had forgotten most of there stuff and were just in undies, very unpleasant sight.

[fatneck]

I heart UKB... 

That should be on a t-shirt!

[Johnny Brown]

Danny revalidated his IRATA ticket with us a few months back. He was on good form.

i realise that making jokes about minority sections of society is unacceptable, unless your a stand up comedian.

Cuboard could be the new Jim Davidson!

[SA Chris]

Similar, only entertaining.

I've still got a set of DVDs that I got from PaulyDB - must get around to watching them before leaping to any harsh desicions
