#1    (From Fraudini watching me @ Cuvier) ~ You climb like a cat.

#2    (From the Swedish Producer / DJ Grovskopa) ~ You've raised the lingual bar of this forum.

#3    (From Fraudini) ~ You're the best lover I ever had!   8)

Et vous?

Richard Ingrams - You are quite funny.

Nicholas Grimshaw - That's a good suit. Where do you buy your clothes?

My ex GF in conversation with assorted family, family's neighbours, work colleagues, assorted hangers on, some poet bloke - So what is it about Simon that you like best?  -  Ummm, his cock...

Out surfing at Banff (after a particularly good wave, I might add), a young kid form the surf club said " wow- you are brilliant".

If only.

I got called "Mr Technique" at the wall once.

Climbing wise

You're a technical master... (from Jerry Moffat after I did the deliverance traverse there and back 5 times).

Ah f*ck schiesse.. du bist einer strongen b*st*rd (or words to that affect after I beat Kurt Albert in an arm wrestle).

Dude's been on a rack! Look at those Elle McPherson legs!   :o

And number 1.........

Incidentally, talking of Power Of Climbing, I made my misses look at this book on Saturday night trying to get some interest out of climbing from her and the result was this:

In order of 'fitness'

3. Jerry Moffatt (partially infuenced by his assumed bank balance)



2. Jasper Sharpe



1. Andy Pollitt, so much so that she had to go back to that page for another look. She's always liked a man in a hat.

After 'starring' as a Russian Cossack in an edition of UK's Worst (Journey's) circa 2004 with Nick Knowles: "It's been fun working with you, give us your number and we'll go for a beer next time I'm in Leeds". Obviously he didn't call and it wasn't much of a compliment per se but it was a weird moment I'm endeared to.

Mono, I thought isn't that Owen McShane?

Also, Monolith produced perhaps my finest compliment a few months back when he described another friend as "a poor man's Ben".  Actually I'm not sure it was actually a compliment but it was indeed great because Andy (the other friend in question) took offence at the remark when he heard.  Which pleased me very much.

In the schoolyard with Lagers Jnr, she turned to me and said

Not exactly my greatest compliment, but I was once complimented at the climbing wall.

Guy: Are you a runner, or a cyclist or something?
Me: I used to be, not so much now...
Guy: Oh.  Well.  I noticed your calves looked muscular whilst you were climbing.  I mean... slim and feminine, but still muscular.  Like an athlete.
Me: Erm... thanks!
Guy: I was looking at your bottom...  I mean... your legs... no, your thighs!  Oh shit.  Do you want to go for a drink?

Ha!  I'm afraid it didn't work, and I didn't go for a drink with him.  I felt a bit nervous and self conscious after he'd said that!  I prefer men with a more subtle approach.  Or at a push, men who chat me up when I'm looking lovely and groomed, not sweaty and chalky.

God Cookie, I read your thread above about your developed calves, and recently the one on Dead fit Birds... about not wanting to develop unflattering muscles, and both times I've read the messages thinking that 'Cookie' was John 'Cuban' Cooke, thinking both times,'You're quite vain, John', but not being that surprised.  ;D

Must make mental note: Cookie is not John Cooke. Cookie is not John Cooke. Cookie is not John Cooke.

Oh yes, I dare say. It's just I have only seen 2 of your posts, and 'Cookie' still makes me think of John Cooke. I merely want to try to shake the image of John looking at his biceps in the full-length morror, his face awash with concern that his muscles are getting too manly, or of a male climbing wall staff member, smooth skinned, smelling sweet, wearing a white sailor's cap at a gay angle, eyeing up John's powerful calves, and thinking,

we kissed for the entire night, then we went to her place and i got home at 11 am next morning. then we repeated the same for most of my stay in spain, until she went with another one.
 :'(
then the following year (1997...) i met her in aix en provence, then i never saw her again until 2005, when she came to italy like a tornado over my relationship.
crazy girl to be honest.

me: i've been here the whole summer, as you can tell by...
