well, someone that fat that still climbs 8a must be doing something right  :wink:

Mine are ordered. Huffmeister, I will get onto the muscle vests right away. Could you start collecting thrash metal?

Good. Typically leeds, not a crimp in sight :wink: , 3d climbing round volumes and technique required to succeed. It was rammed too, loads of people down. Noone clean sheeted, although Stu Watson only dropped one and I suspect that lad called dave-whose-sirname-I-dont-know may also have only dropped one. Poorly elbow didnt like it though - been sore all day today.

Fucking hell. I might leave them until christmas - I'll give them to myself or something - you know, for that christmas tingle.

Meant to ring you lads this morning about boarding, was planning to go to the tor but my field agents reported in and said A) that it was wet and B) that some chavs had been and had a bonfire outside Ben's roof. Apparently the fuel for the bonfire was the trees directly opposite the roof. Theres bottles and shit everywhere by all accounts. I'll have to go down with a bin liner and collect it this week.  So ended up at the school. Good session, left about 17:30.

It wasnt dave buchanan - I know him quite well.

...and it was a bit you were training for it! Did you do a lot of campussing?

1-4-7 on 1 finger and 1-5-8 on two. Jeez!

Makes sense though...this was the route that campussing was invented for...

It was Tom Sugden, he of immense static strength and the dynoing ability of an African Elephant (sorry Tom if your reading this).

No it wasnt! I know Tom too, he came third, the mysterious dave drew with Stu in 1st. I went today as well and totally forgot to look.

Tom is massively strong as you say, and I dont think i have ever seen him slap.  :roll:

Ok, my mistake. Whoever came second must be pretty darn strong to out-muscle Tom.

Andy, that Elephant line was very funny and I shall be using that line all weekend.  In fact I may get Tom a t-shirt with that printed on it. As you know, a joke only becomes truly funny when it has been repeated at least thirty-six times in a day.
