Simon Lee: hey Ben - have you called the lime yet?

Ben MOrton: I tried to give that job to young George Carmichael, but he seems to have neglected his role, so - here it is Simon, I'm calling the lime!

What twisted wrongness is this??? You can't call the lime ON FUCKING FACEBOOK!!

Jesus Christ, another fiasco. We'll never hear the last of this from the luck based scrittlers and summer is going to be a washout again.  :no:

Well the tortoise was seen doing laps on Powerband, so I think the lime has been called well after the tortoise had bolted... (as fast as a tortoise can bolt that is..)

I agree - its a real mess. Heads should roll.. Its getting to the point where we might have to form an inquiry and a committee...

Didn't even get it's own post, you're right this is a disgrace, I predict Kilsney will fall over and the Cornices will only dry in time for snowballing season to start again. All the fault of social media and both callers being so addled by fatherhood they don't know their crimps from their slopers.

It’s indicative of the aesthetically challenged crimp-budgie mindset. Mark my words next year it’ll be a text message in youth-speak.

its quite simple really dobbins fuckin useless. why andy gave him the job i'll never know, u can't just pass on the calling to anyone.
at least with the luck based scrittle johnnys there day in day out polishing the rock and wearing it down for future generations, and he knows his weather systems.
the lime mandate should be taken out of dobbins hands and given to someone that befits it

What a farce. I suspect the fawcett may drench the crags this summer as a warning to these amateurs.

Heed the warning from the tortoise! His prophecy was correct a year ago. This mess needs sorting quickly and decisively with a pointy stick, some lettuce and the hallowed box of anti-scrittle.

Remember Dob's appointment was only supposed to be temporary anyway.....

WHERE IS HARRIS!

This is worse than DobbEggGate.
I'm predicting swathes of seepage and metric tonnes of tumbling choss. He of the highmost step will be back round in no time.

Maybe the mantle should be passed to a much younger apprentice who could be properly trained and fulfil the role for several years gaining much insight and wisdom before any family related issues cloud his vision.

From here forth I'm going to rely on the cooing of a wood pigeon to call the lime for me, in your face .............Facebook.

It's always lime time round these parts.

But whoever is responsible for erroneously calling the lime on Facebook needs to be brought to book.

Someone up there fucks up the calling of the lime. Next thing, it's Saturday down here, it's raining, and for the first time in ages, all our lime is wet!

Thank you very much.

As long as the wood pigeon does not deposit lime in your face ;)

Yep! Bloody Northerners. It's all your fault! Sun and balmy breezes all week and we've been stuck in the Bunker with hammer and saw. Just decided to head over to the cove and give ourselves a day off. Poked my head out from under the Duvet and it's Frickin pissing down and blowin a hoolie!

Wank holiday weekend...

if you get to the cove, can you put a few cheeky bolts in the mitre.

I don't think anyone will mind.

There is a mild temptation to go down with a tube of yoohoo or some double sided tape and few hangers...

Mind you...

That may cause a few problems and overload Torbay A&E on a bank holiday WE...

Remember Children! Test your gear BEFORE you hang!

Unless you're at swanage. Then it's probably best not to weight, or even test pull, any gear of any description. In fact, best not to cough.

Back on topic.

My friend is coming to stay in bristol tomorrow. For a couple days of drinking cider and idle climbing. It's my birthday weekend.

I hope this peak district miscalling of the lime witchery hasn't spannered the lime weather for the whole weekend.

Next year, if you can't find someone skilled enough in the arcane lime calling dark arts, don't call the lime at all. Heads should roll.
