I see Jasper regularly.

Bump into Dense and Slackers occasionally, but not at the same time.

Scouse D enjoying the bicycle.

Alice Roberts fan club was politely asked to leave due to not being a climber. I see him about. Talking to himself.

GCW does long runs and generally living the dream.

Which is clearly an oxymoron.

Nice update lagers

I've been reminded of a couple:

Dylan - far too busy doing immaculate male grooming to go to the Depot to actually post any more.

Dan Cheetham - caused a kerfuffle when constantly baiting dedicated boulderers and sport climbers on a forum of, errr, dedicated boulderers and sport climbers didn't go down so well (!?) and got cruelly cyber-bullied off the forum.

Scouse D - ???

Was posting on the drawing and painting thread with some lovely Burbage watercolours in April/May this year I think.

Fiend · July 16, 2020, 09:08:27 pm

Of course! I remember liking them. Reincarnated as an artist. Good stuff.

tomtom · July 16, 2020, 09:20:19 pm

With your daughter? 😱😁

Scouse D · July 17, 2020, 12:08:46 am

I'm still here lurking!
Not climbing much since a bad football injury 4 years ago but loving the road bike and slowly getting back into climbing as my 8 year old lad is super keen. Had a couple of grit pottering sessions with cofe and Dave who are both climbing well. Thanks for asking after me, it's nice to be thought of.

Not very likely as she now has brought shame on the family by getting a job in banking.

slackline - spent 5 years attempting a concrete mathematical proof as to how it was ontologically essential to correctly reference google links when asking questions on UKB, succeeded, and then disappeared into his own arse in a black hole of collapsing algorithms. Also had kids??

I've seen mini-slack out properly enjoying the grit - great to see

I asked Mrs Slackers what it had been like living through lockdown with Slackers - she rolled her eyes and sighed

Maybe if you are looking for new recruits to UKB you could all step back and take a break from being Fuds for 5 minutes.

are we talking Scottish fuds, fuddy-duddies or FUDs here?

all fit just fine, just looking for clarification

SA Chris · July 17, 2020, 10:58:35 am

And i don't think this is a recruiting post.

scragrock · July 17, 2020, 12:56:41 pm

Scottish Fuds.

Yeah I get it’s not a recruiting post but maybe more folk would stick around or contribute more if they felt they weren’t going to get assassinated.

fair point

SA Chris · July 17, 2020, 01:25:15 pm

Really? As far as forums go, there seems to be little flaming here compared to UKC.

lagerstarfish · July 17, 2020, 01:29:29 pm

I don't want to use UKC as a yardstick

SA Chris · July 17, 2020, 02:28:43 pm

I dunno, n00bs like tomtom and shark seem to have fitted in quite well....

It is indeed. Great guy. Never seen anyone move as effortless but with latent power on rock.

Quite. Amount of stick I get Id have fucked off years ago if I didn’t have skin in the game.

Anyone want to buy a forum?

webbo · July 17, 2020, 09:32:30 pm

It could be worse you could have bought UKClimbing.

Fiend · July 17, 2020, 09:41:48 pm

Shark - it's tough love, I think??

tomtom · July 17, 2020, 10:01:48 pm

Being called a Noob here feels a bit like being asked for ID at the pub.

Strange - but oddly complimentary.

@scragrock - it’s not that bad for stick this place. Unless you’ve taken 20 years trying to climb the Oak, or paint Orcs 😛
