Good news then. I'll give it a go when you've done it. I'm sure I had a go years ago, seemed tricky

YYFY!! After a lot of Googling I just found the solution to a problem I've had for ages with connecting my S3 to my stereo in the dining room via Bluetooth. This means a much nicer listening experience as I can stream everything through the phone using the excellent Google Play instead of the annoying fiddly iPod (and the utter horror that is iTunes).

Once I found the solution it was really simple and just involved disabling part of the Bluetooth app. When it worked first go, just for a second, I felt like slackline.

YYFY. First 8a+, but also just as important, first Power of Climbing tick.

Not a bad way to spend a wet Friday afternoon  ;D.

First extreme, always a major benchmark.

I remember my first extreme........

Actually I don't. Well done anyway.

Not too sure it should be graded E1 anyway but there you go...

Never been on a HVS at all and only done one VS, so I was pretty happy with it. I need to be less lazy with my climbing.

I love living in France even if sometimes it's like living in Terry Gilliam's 'Brazil'.

But

After nearly 5 months my ISP has finally sent me my 'Freebox'. 5 months with no mainline phone, no tv, and no internet connection (apart from using my phone as a router).

Fuck me, I have a five month backlog of watching Fiend dressed as a camp Serbian paramilitary climbing choss in Dundee. YYFY.

I think you'll find that camp Serbian paramilitary members model themselves on Fiend.

 :lol: :clap2: :2thumbsup: love it. Surely a NNFN too. Although being deprived of the internet in this day and age is shocking, a basic human need surely.

I need to be a LOT fitter before going back.

a YYFY for me this afternoon.

Managed to get 'New Rose' (7B) at Farleton  :)

Felt miles away from this at the last session, but crimped for glory.

Top Climbing Tip: When using superglue to re-inforce finger tips, be very very careful if you go to the toilet soon after. I nearly had an incident ;)

Minor belated YYFY from me.
Spent last Sunday daytime climbing with Profs Popp and TT (hope I got you're titles correct there, fellas. Please feel free to mark down accordingly  ;))
We were at Harmer's Wood. I've wanted to go for about 3 years ago when the pics were first posted here. Had a lovely day.

To cap it all off I then spent some father son time going to see The Who at the Liverpool arena. It was an awesome gig  :punk:
Listen to that bass guitar. IT'S AMAZING!

A fab day  :)

Doesn't this happen in American Pie or something?
