Had a random chance meeting with the lovely DOB down in Chee Dale the other day, and was moaning the lack of Blog Of Dob etc. This got my thinking about UKB, errr, legends / reprobates of times yonder, and whatever happened to them:

dobbin - two kids and in and out of climbing a bit but seems psyched now

a dense loner - had a kid, who knows it might have mellowed him horror of horrors

Jim - ???

JasperSharpe - dunno, didn't rise to my bait when I posted a full list of unrepeated Medwards routes...

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??

Scouse D - ???

dave - at least two kids and fell out with UKB over moderation afaik??

Sloper - two kids, more on the way, was so disgusted with Brexit that even he's given up on the Tories so perhaps no more fire for being their mouthpiece on here

cofe - ???

Kim - ???

Huffy - became a Captains Of Crush legend, took up mixed martial arts but lost his world title to Rich Simpson of course. Maybe??

[Duma]

Fuck all those losers, what about Fingers Of A Martyr?
Not just best username ever, but starter of many a classic thread including the still extant books...

Walked out after arguing with me about usage of the word pogrom. Never came back.

[robertostallioni]

I miss Houdini.

and Bubba tbh.

[Fiend]

I forgot about Houdini, FOAM, and I remembered Bubba earlier but forgot to include him....good calls guys 

[SA Chris]

Fatboyslimfast (better name than FOAM IMO) made a brief return, but has since faded again.

cofe turns up to peddle his books occasionally.

[Doylo]

Dense called it a day after Slackline called him a cunt if I remember correctly.

[tomtom]

I climbed with Jim a few times 3-4 years back - still had it post bicep rip. Lots of riding nowadays iirc?

Bump into Sloper quite often at the wall - and he’s always good value for teasing my left leanings...

Had a couple of good chats with FBSF At Mad Volume when he was working in Hull. Suspect CV19 has right screwed up his work...

Lagers is still in regular contact with the day walker.

Scouse and Cofe still pop up on Dave’s social media posts often...

Zod's Beard? I met him once at Harmers.

No longer climbs. I miss him. Gave me his 100m rope. Hope he doesn’t start again.

[Will Hunt]

Steadfast provisioner of cute animal photos, Magpie. Always in our hearts.

[Yossarian]

I got an email from Houdini about 5 years ago. He was still in Hamburg I think...

[Duma]

Unclesomebody? Saw him occasionally at the wall but not for a year or so.
GCW? is he still here? I've got a feeling he is, just doesn't post now.
aLICErOBERTSfANkLUB? Were they banned? Can't remember.

[kingholmesy]

I used to climb a lot with Zod’s Beard when I lived in Manchester. It’s 7 years since I left and I’ve largely lost touch, but I think he still boulders occasionally.

I’ve probably not seen Jim since moving away, but even when I was still in Manchester two kids and a snapped bicep meant in wasn’t climbing so much.

Would be good to catch-up with them on the off chance they’re reading.

Assuming it's the same Huffy - https://instagram.com/fairertimes?igshid=jyj1eox7s9o9

[Fatboyslimfast2]

Im still here, I didnt post for quite some years but c-19 prompted me to join in again. just dont have a great deal to say these days.( BTW Tom still in Hull, they kept me on so will be there till after xmas!!)
All of people still active in one way or other just not on here, Bubba is one of my oldest mates and regularly chat with him. He doesnt climb and is still trucking up and down the uk.

Scouse D - ???

Sometimes bump into Scouse at the leisure centre where our kids do not-listening on Mondays. Mostly dresses in fluro and lycra, carries a red lightsabre.

[scragrock]

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.

 

[webbo]

Andy E where did he go.

[Fiend]

A lot of the old lot were complete fuds! That's why we liked most of them.

Magpie realised she never had the slightest interest in actual climbing and focused on her make-up blog.

GCW got super-focused on running I think?

[tomtom]

Andy E where did he go.

Andy did his PhD (well done Andy) and is pursuing academic things I think... suspect he still dabbles

There was rumour about a child? Virgin birth I assume

[bigironhorse]

bigtuboflard

Great handle in my opinion

[Bradders]

Saw him at the wall regularly pre-lockdown and he seemed to be going well.
