The art of climbing without climbing
December 10, 2007, 12:08:04 pm
Just listened to The Scoundrels' Return on Radio 4 (10th dec 11.30-12.00). Found myself laughing out loud at the section on maintaining a reputation as a climber without actually doing any climbing. Hopefully there will be a repeat or it will be available to listen to again on 'tinterweb.  :lol:

For those who don't want to search for and listen to the whole show, here are the 2 mins to do with not climbing.



Now, Grimer did not write any of this, but it seemed silly to post the sound without any pictures. The blurred stuff in between Grimer bears no relation to anything living or accidental; it is just there for the sake of continuity.
Just say the word and I'll pull the offending clip  :wave:

Hmm, strange, didn't work first of all, but subsequent third attempt has.

Direct link to "Listen Again" on BBC is here.

On the contrary.  I think we should start a campaign to replace Alan Titchmarsh with your good self... I don't even possess a television, but he still offends me.

Do you have a showreel?

I was going to say that Alan Titchmarsh is a walking definition of the word cunt.

But in these liberated times I wonder if it isn't a bit weak...

I'd pay for a video of that.
