I don't, it's tedious if the 'jokes' ever were funny they stopped being so ages ago. Like replying "sent it where?" when someone mentions sending a problem or asking "what's he done on grit?" every time some foreign wad does something impressive. I love piss taking (Adam's comment was reasonably witty) but if all you can manage is "Hur Hur, Shark hasn't climbed the Oak and he's tried to climb the Oak a lot" then it's pretty artless.

+1. My comment was not meant as a piss-take - more of a correction and note of sympathy. I've invested a lot of effort myself in climbs I haven't done yet (and might never manage) - and would not take kindly to being constantly reminded of it in the name of "banter".

I agree! I don’t really see much funny or worthwhile in constant banter along those lines. I also like piss taking but just don’t see what reminding someone they haven’t succeeded after a lot of effort and dedication does (apart from annoy them). I am interested in Shark’s siege because like others I have sieged (and failed) and am interested in how someone keeps coming back year after year.

Clearly against the mood of the crowd, sorry. Logpile please.
