That on the other hand just isn't funny and gentle though I am (grins charmingly, like Reggie Cray on speed) I would plant you if you said that to me.

Possibly just me, but...

More to the point its just fucking stupid. Perhaps its all about inclusivity - the twat's taken what they personally believe to be an eyesore and replaced it with something that everyone can hate just as much.

The graffiti artist is clearly wishing that someone or other dies of old age, which was only an insult back when Tim Robbins was in good films

I'd just like to let everyone know that there's starving children in the world. And people living in cardboard boxes.

Right on.
They're mostly fat little twats in this country though.

So the result of me reading all this crap is that's it's ok to call Mick Ryan a cunt again then? Excellent. Well done Gresh.

Does anybody know why Mick is out of UKC? Chucked out or just got bored of it?

Has Doylo been fiddling with homeless people now? ;)

He's not and this is just some huge clickbait plot between the pair of them?

If nothing else this debate has illustrated perfectly why Facebook is an unusable platform for any debate. Everybody sees a different set of posts, bumped up and down in visibility by FB's whims, each persons view distorted by the 'likes' of their 'friends'. It's like using a aerial video of a hula-hoop display team as a sort of postmodern venn diagram. All very clever, but fuck all use to anybody save to make arch comment on the pointlessness of everything.

Unlikely to have left voluntarily.  If you're ever tried to leave UKC then you'll find it's rather like The Eagles hotel California - "You can check-out any time you like, but you can never leave".  The only way out is to behave badly, even then you aren't removed from the system, just marked as banned and stopped from posting.

So what happened? I thought 8b+ wasn't newsworthy any more?

Haha. No, my logbook was deleted by Alan because I refused to apologise for having the temerity to call his guidebooks lazily researched. Which they are - they're lazily researched Alan. For which he received a written warning from the ICO for breach of the data protection act, with the threat of a fine and further action should he be in breach in future. And for which I'm eternally banished from ukc.

If you ever get banned from ukc you'll not be able to update your logbook but will retain access to the data, thanks to me.  :strongbench:

Anyone chopped those pesky threads yet, or was it bolts I forget?

Seems a tad petty to delete all your logbook data because he couldn't accept a bit of criticism, anyway moving on I think the real issue is the higher bolt that can be clipped from deja vu not the thread replacements.

Apologies for prodding a sleeping dog.

Neil took the upper bolt out last night (slightly interesting that there was an old stud there where one had been placed previously).

It could definitely be clipped from Deja Vu; I did the routes in this vicinity (including Deja Too and Full Value, the latter I thought was really good) and it's fairly amusing to note just how easy it is to clip the Visitation bolts from DV (I got lost on Steve's new thing and ended up moving between the two routes above the offending bolts).

The threads (now bolts) looked fairly natural to me on closer inspection, apart from one which was a bit suspect.

Hopefully the above is a successful compromise.
