Great news Tom! Well done.

I'm starting to think I might have a major YYFY in the offing but am desperately trying not to count my chickens.

Surely this is a NNFN as you'll have to do more work and less climbing now?  ;D

Sadly yes - I could commit mass fraud and run off on a expenses paid global bouldering tour - and my employers would probably not realise for 6 months - but they'd get me in the end...

Good work tomtom. Can I have some of those six figures to do my PhD please?

There is a PhD studentship tied to it - if uncertainty is your bag...

Hmmm, I'm not sure it would be.

Shame about that moratorium France have imposed on fracking... There's always Northumberland/Yorkshire/Peak/Lincolnshire/Leicestershire though...

Finally did Snatch at the plantation today, think it was my 5th or 6th session on it, went 4th go today. A big winter project done.
So so so chuffed after being pretty dis heartened last session. First 7C+ or 8A too, a very cool move!  :great:

Good effort. Where has the 7c+ come from? It's never been 7c+, it's 8a

I haven't heard of many people going up with the left hand so figured the 8a was for the original sequence. 
If it is 8A then all the better  ;D

EDIT: Plus its a case of even I've done this so it can't be that hard ;)

Good effort, it's nails! I might have to try it again with your method.

drove a fire engine on the road today,not blue lights as that can come later.
going from a truck driver,who are considered the lowest of the low on the roads to driving a big red truck when every stops at round abouts and lets you out at junctions is utter polar opposites.

What about traffic wardens on mopeds? Surely they get a mention?
