Can't fool you guys, the shot was taken before Malcolm did The Ace. I've been sitting on it for a while now!

there is a certain nosferatu quality about that particular snap,
a spot of night-time bouldering anyone?

Although, word on the street is that he is back from the rigs, into climbing and keen again...

Adam, I think your post highlights why people give you negative karma. I hope you don't take this is in the wrong way because I am simply stating what I feel to be people's thoughts... but I think it grates against certain people when you show how well connected you are. I don't know why exactly, but implying you know/climb with certain uber wads pisses some people off, and I think your above post only comfirms that. Sorry if you think I should have PM'd you instead of writing this publicly. No offence intended.

I was agreeing with Dobbin! Thats all. Nothing more, nothing less. Its the web, and people read into it what they may.

Oh, and no offense taken!

All he said was that he's heard that Malc Smith is back climbing again, which doesn't imply that he climbs with uberwads just that he's read this thread (http://ukbouldering.com/board/index.php/topic,6504.0.html)

Do you think that fatboyslimfast also grated against certain people posting that?

yeah uncle cut the kid some slack, just cos your not as well connected as him. Your only claim to fame is knowing me  ;D ;)

I quite like hearing the rumours.  I get a bit jealous when I hear things like `someone's onsighted E9 but I'm not allowed to say who it is', but I'd rather know that than nothing.

I am in the rumours prefered camp too. It was funny the other month though when Adam posted a few with every post obliquely mentioning that he was near and possibly friends with Chris Sharma. Keeps things interesting in my opinion.

Its was aimed as a bit of a wind up to Doylo. Prob should have kept it off the forum

My comments were not an attack, so apologies if that is what it came accross as. What I was saying was the opinion of other board users who are too lazy (read; pussy) to write it themselves. I couldn't care less if every one of your posts mentioned some uber wad. I wish I knew them...

I think wind ups have their place on the board. Adds a bit of colour, what!

My only claim to fame was once being called the fat ben moon by sean myles :-[

What!!! But Slimfast....  and i thought you loved me, and i loved you for the way you loved me :'(

And you've been seen to even hang out with me in public places and everything ;)


ahem.....


In reality what does it matter who you are mates with?? (or who will put up with you). In terms of scandal / colour / shootin the shit via a PC on the intereweb it's pretty damn useful to have folk on here that tell us little folk what's the real deal.

Post by: fatboySlimfast on November 30, 2006, 07:27:57 pm
please jon not in public, the love that dare not speak its name must remain hidden forever.............

and by the way i was called the fat ben moon for my hair, most assuredly NOT for my climbing prowess. Anyway well done Andy to get back to the original post

At least you just called the fat ben moon, I just get called fat.

conversation today after me just falling off pumped half way along the full green traverse:
Me: "shit I'm pumped, I've got no fucking stamina"
enigma: " No, your just fat"
Cheers Ben

yeah close as in stanage is close to the moon.

I managed to find an actual ascent picture.  As you can see it must be genuine as it has the official "ace" spotter to the stars ;)

genius. Dense should start hiring himself out. Clearly the added motivation of not falling into his over-eager 'busy' hands is a powerful aid to ascents at this grade.

I guess we're all glad the finishing hold got glued back on, now.
