I have no worthwhile climbing ones, and am particularly in awe of the Harding and Chevaeux ones, and very jealous of the Levet one.

However on a non climbing tip, I have played pool with Keith Richards, which takes some beating.

Wads to Duma! So, along with being old, living in Sheff makes it easy. These need to get unusual. This doesn't count but playing scrabble with the kids the other day we had to use the back of scoresheets from matches against Ben in the 1990s. Children thought we should put them on ebay. And Andi, whatever you think may have happened, you categorically didn't burn off Martin.

Does it get beaten by taking 3/4 of Boney M water skiing? On a randomness level if nothing else.

[Bonjoy]

 Accidentally called Carol Vodmann a 'mare' to her face 

[Houdini]

Shooting pool with Keef definitely beats skiing with Boney M.  But beating Boney M with a Ski definitely beats shooting pool with Keef.

bouldering at the original leeds wall with alan austin and pete livesy.



having a fight with steve bancroft.

[Houdini]

You kicked him in, right?

[SA Chris]

I think webbo's collection cumulatively matches Harding.

having a fight with paul reeve (foundry owner) under two tier, through the nettle fields...unfortunately he was also my lift home.... no waddage - he deserved it though

having a coffee with jarvis cocker at sheff train station cafe; nice bloke

[Dolly]

Lots of good Jarv stories, many times backstage to drink champers etc.
But one that sticks in my mind at the moment is turning up outside a party in London in mid 90s at the height of Britpop.
Jarv DJing downstairs, blokes from Blur inside, Justine from Elastica on the door.
Loads of blaggers outside trying to get in. Me and Mrs Dolly turn up and in my best Sheffield accent I say to Justine "Alright I'm Dolly, Jarv said there was a party here or something ?"
Justine says "Oh Hello,  Jarvis said you'd probably turn up, in you come"

[dobbin]

Used to regularly take drugs with Pat King.

Booked Bubba and FatBoySlimfast to DeeJay at a massive rave at the Foundry.

Got kidnapped by aforementioned diminutive gritstoner and taken to Chatsworth where had to hold ropes whilst hard and dangerous climbs were attempted. Had never before (or since) belayed anyone on anything trad. Diminutive gritstoner almost died.

[grimer]

Wow, it's all coming out. My Harding ace is starting to buckle under the sheer mass of Webbo wad bombardment, and i suspect he has a lot more where they came from. Dare i say it, being old gives an advantage, but being very old gives a massive advantage. 

And the Keith Richards and Boney M ticks are pretty up there too.


I went to Andy Popp's wedding and he went to mine. That would impress a Leek man.

[Somebody's Fool]

I suspect anyone who went to Ceuse between 2002 and 2003 got stoned with Dave Graham didn't they?

[webbo]

non climbing one but it still dates from the stoneage.
being evicted from a club in leeds after the american climber who we were showing the sights to.tied kevin rowlands{pre dexys} shoelaces together while he was singing.

yes but did they use a potato?

[Somebody's Fool]

Fair one.  I don't remember him honouring our visit by cracking out the root vegetables. 
Boring, boring Rizlas.

ive met ron fawcett each time ive been at the peak, usually at the spot where friction was best.
i said "hey ciao ciao!!!!" very loud waving my hand to a perplexed edlinger in annot.
stole ben moons place in the queue to the bar at the foundry.

spotted mauro calibani (quickly) repeating one problem of mine in sassofortino.
got my van pulled out of the mud from christian core (not using his car, just pushing)

[BenF]

Tom Baker had a bath at my house. 

Ok, technically not my house, but my mum's house (I was pretty young).  But I reckon it's still a pretty good tick.

[webbo]

i met paul mitchell when he was still paul kirk.

i like this it makes me go all cathertic.

[Bonjoy]

Why did he change surname?

[Bubba]

Hero worship?

[webbo]

Why did he change surname?

something to do with hating his dad.i think mitchel is his mothers maiden name.

or maybe he wanted avoid any links with brother john.
