James Pond SS
June 11, 2007, 10:38:31 pm
I was tryin my hardest in bakin temps on Saturday afternoon when these northern grease monkeys from Merseyside started buttering up the holds!

Managing to reign in my fury, I told em not to touch it till I got it done! Sure enough, I got the "tourist tick" with the slightest of power dabs and all was well in the pass!  8)

That's bullshit... there was nothing "slight" about it! I practically walked out from under the roof and French started for the finishing holds. Didn't see at as a problem as  "power dabbing" in Wales seems part of the sport. :P

Oh yeah and those Mersysiders are grease monkeys, and lanky to boot!

CJD by any chance...

Whilst I don't mind the send-up there's something a bit unerringly worrying about someone pretending to be you, I feel like Arnie (minus the biceps) in The Sixth Day.

It's a sign of true celebrity when you get a stalker, or so they say. Still, a bit wierd though.

CJD wasn't there when you were on JP sds, there was just myself, Monolith, Richie C, Sloper, Mike and perhaps one or two others? Nigel?

I'm pretty sure Crouch was a big fan of the DJ's works...

Learning from the experiences of the weekend, getting severly pissed the night before training is clearly the way forward  :lol: Sunday was the greasiest, most humid day known to man!

Monday was spent sitting in a swimming pool of sheep shit under CRC impersonating the resident sheep. You didn't miss much if you got off on Sunday night  ::)

I was there too. I'd have taken the tourist tick as well.  ;)

Having just last night rewatched Primal Fear, I have to wonder if there's another explanation for your impersenator Greg?  :lol:

Those starting holds were greasier than a buttered up bar of lard! I must share some (most) of the blame  :whistle:

Good effort on Greg's behlaf as I found the stand piss compared to the sitter which felt on the trickier side of desperate  :bow:
