Good article in Climbing, not yet paywalled: https://www.climbing.com/news/didier-berthod-climbs-cobra-crack-5-14-squamish/

Not mentioned is that Didier's daughter Cedar is also a crusher, winning the lead event in the Canadian Championships last winter and now in the national team.

Good read, thanks!

(And now I realise he's not referring to Cedar Wright  )

Was a labour MP back in the day, so probably quite a lot longer.

The Guardian reports that John Woodcock’s ‘independent’ report on protest groups will recommend proscribing Just Stop Oil and Palestine Action.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/may/17/government-adviser-on-disruptive-protest-accused-of-conflict-of-interest

No doubt the curbing of these groups will be welcomed by BP and the arms manufacturer Leonardo, both clients of the PR firm Purpose Business Coakition, which he chairs.

Similarly, Glencore (mining, coal) and Enwell Energy may well welcome the restriction of these groups’ activities. Woodcock is a paid adviser at Rud Pedersen Public Affairs, another lobbying firm, which acts for both companies.

How much longer will we have to suffer this damaging and corrupt administration?

Cheque obviously picking players from Mansfield reserves.

  I forgot all about FPL when I moved house in December and haven’t dared look at it since…

Also this season Stags went unbeaten until late November, won one game 9(nine)-2 and won automatic promotion. For the first time in my life I tried to get a ticket for a home game and was unable to! Who needs fantasy when reality is this good?

I did that for when I became a famous footballer. Didn't help unsurprisingly, I was shite at it.

I've got what I think is a ganglion cyst on my toe but it isn't bone like. I can squish it flat and it then fills up again. It's not a problem. I've had it for years.

get involved: access, environment, BMC / Re: BMC Resolutions shout out 📣

Without resignations to signal accountability it's an unavoidable MONC isn't it?

Too late for a member led MoNC in the short term and hopefully we will get something less chaotic and more stage managed than that.
An EGM tacked onto the AGM led by a newly elected President where the old Board is replaced is a mooted scenario 🤞

Doylo, if you're reading this can we have a ColdWarSteve style image showing the infamous Innsbruck debauchery where they burned £600k on taxis and blow? Maybe Bosi wearing a floor-length fluffy white coat and carrying a pimp cane, heading to the comp in a diamante-encrusted limo? You get the idea.
