Title: Blackpool's Sam D goes to Font...
Post by: ChrisH1 on April 15, 2012, 09:22:48 pm
Sam and I went to Font at the end of March, these photos may be of interest to some...the photos are of Sam D on The Big Island, unfortunately at about 10.30 the friction was gone. (it was 22 degrees!) A Winter trip may be in order to get this!

During the trip he also had a look at Trip Hop - sorry no photos, maybe next time.

 Are u serious? Uve started a topic about someone going to font and holding some positions on a boulder, and looking at a problem? Am I losing my fucking mind? That's what the bouldering pictures thread is for

I once went to Blackpool and got the dj in that massive club that's now shut down (Syndicate?) to play Area Codes. Didn't go down too well with the chavs but I enjoyed myself on the revolving dancefloor. I also crimp slopers.

I'd ask for a thread in recognition but I've already got plenty.

That's nothing. I pinched the slopers, open handed the pinches and crimped the undercuts on none of the problems and routes mentioned, am also not from Blackpool and have even never ever been to font.   :strongbench:

Interesting, I always open hand it and pinch the outer rim. Although when I was a kid my hands were probably too small. I've also never been to Blackpool.

My Mum was attacked by a llama in Blackpool; the only thing she has ever crimped is the pastry case for a meat pie.  I have never been attacked by a llama but I have crimped slopers, gastoned undercuts, and guppied monos.  For the avoidance of doubt, neither of us have ever climbed Big Island.

I can't believe Louis Tussads has been shut down and turned into a proper Madame Tussads:

Billy Ocean and Cliff Richards should do a "seaside resort" tour together. Genius.

Piers Morgan could compere.

Bobby Sands could also appear (if he wasn't dead).

I saw Keith Harris and Davina Maccall in the same coffee shop in Blackpool last year (true)! They were there separately. Keith was having lunch with his missus and Davina was making a tv show. I asked but neither have been to Font.

Erm, thats exactly what he did. Be user to be skinny, quit climbing and went training with the proliferation of meathead bouncers you get round thete, got massive and startee climbing again. crush.

An even more remarkable transformation happened to johnny who used to be literally a line, then quit climbing and turned into the bastard lovechild of dolph lundgren and grant Mitchell. Im not sure he ever climbed again. The influence of doormen and roids.

You can but if you want chips you need to ask for frites and they don't have ketchup with their frites, they have mayo, man they smother them in that shit.

Also if you want a quarterpounder with cheese you need to ask for a royale with cheese or possibly avec fromage. However in Blackpool you can get quarterpounders. Apparently.

A load of us went to see Ken Dodd in Doncaster after going to the races a few years ago. My mate who had orgasnised it was bigging it up saying how he goes on for hours and is hilarious.

My Mrs walked out and went to the bar after half an hour closely followed by me, another mate and gradually everyone else including the (now very sheepish) bloke whose idea it was.

Dodd was fucking shit.
