Title: UKB Pissup / #ukbpissup - Sat 29th June 2013
Post by: tommytwotone on May 18, 2013, 08:57:22 pm
So, after another bout of tweeting / twittering over the last few days I think / hope we've finalised a date and location for the next UKB social evening.

We'll be off to The Sheaf on Saturday 29th June, I'd imagine meeting at around 7pmish - I gather it's also a certain blone-haired, Brighton-supporting member's birthday that week too so there's extra reason for celebration.

Hope to see plenty of UKBers in attendance!

I would have considered meeting a few folks and making a weekend trip of it.

But i have a pal staying over on Saturday, and am dragon boat racing in that Swindon on the Sunday.

Plus i get nosebleeds at latitudes north of Birmingham.

Despite the long journey, I'll be there - as usual I'll be the one at the bar chatting to an attractive woman who probably isn't my wife

I have a small pot of hakarl (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H%C3%A1karl) in the fridge - if people are interested in partaking of this unusual substance I'm happy to bring it along. I'm not allowed to open it in the house or keep it in the fridge once it has been opened and there's no way I can finish it in one sitting (IKR!), so looking for an opportunity to share it - Sheaf garden should be fine. Anyone else interested?

I realised afterwards that I failed to congratulate you on your ascent of the left arete from sitting yesterday (including topping out) due to being too busy taking the piss.

Sorry about that.

That stuff sounds crazy - presumably it is some sort of hallucinogenic too, or would that just be your eyes watering from the ammonia? I've got a funny feeling I would like it - I do like lime pickle after all (although I suspect this is a different league altogether to yer average curry condiment).

Won't be able to make the session as I'm supposed to be in a van near a beach somewhere on Anglesey (and/or the Lleyn).

Ladies and Gentlemen, you will be no doubt enraged and depressed to hear that this weekends UKB Pissup will be feature a guest appearance from one time poster and serial downgrader, the one and only Le Grande Ventre himself - Sloper.

Be prepared to be entertained by such riveting tales as "When I was on a VS in Wales and got a bit off line and ended up 70ft up an E5", "When I sandbagged Dave Graham in Font", "When I engaged Johhny Dawes in a bout of naked Greco-Roman wrestling (Private School rules)" and many others*.   

Please ensure that your piss taking engines have been specially tuned and are running at maximum boost pressure for this most momentous of occasions as they will no doubt be exercised fully.

NB. Anyone who is actually enraged and depressed about this I heartily recommend that you console yourselves with the fact that it is only for one evening and not for the weekend which is the truly delightful option that I have undertaken for your dubious pleasure.

*Some of these examples may have exaggerated or even completely made up to make this post sound better than it is!

You're all in for treat.

Over many years of cyber argument I'd never actually met Sloper and then just the day after he reappeared here I turned up at Harmers to find him insitu. It didn't turn into a pitched battle over Neo-liberalism etc., etc. yadda, yadda, yadda.

Now we just need the second coming of the Dark Lord, aka Houdini.

I reckon I met Sloper (can't be that many Peak-based boulderers who smoke cigars at the crag) at Stanage when all the snow was there. Seemed like a nice guy, encouraging and only made one comment about "lefties". Reminded me how much internet forums can bring out the worst in people.

I might come but I don't drink so not particularly psyched for the pub. Is there some kind of pre-pissup climbing planned?

I met up with sloper in London for a few drinks a few years back. He told a story about when he was on a VS in Wales and got a bit off line and ended up 70ft up an E5. Not sure if he has told anyone else but a very good story.

Leaving us to put down his tent in Font which upon closer inspection didn't only stink like it'd had the sweaty oaf in it all week but had also been the pissing ground for half of the peak district's cats tends to bring out the worst in me  :sick:

I'll look forward to catching up with the old Pheasant Plucker!

Now you mention it I think I had a similar experience when meeting a well-spoken fellow at Burbage North. I had my[size=0pt] suspicions and the penny finally dropped when he blazed up a cigar.


Not sure what my plans are tomorrow - in the interests of getting / keeping my pass out I'm spending the day time with my good lady, but could pop over for a look at that new Heeley Boudler if it's dry / anyone fancies it?

Turns out they're not allowed to keep lost property, so they offered to get him to drop it at the police station...when I mentioned that wasn't going the be the best solution they've passed on my number to him so hoping he'll give me a call and I can arrange getting it back.

Adge, I'll be more than happy to have you as my guest for next Palio, to make you sure that the horses are considered the most important element of this tradition. We make sure that nothing happens to them, and they are generally kept away from any sort of danger, except the ones that are part of any horse race.
EDIT.
Really disappointed by your negative karma. The Palio, in the modern form, dates back to the XVII century, and its original form back to the XIV: saying it's not culture, and saying poor horses shows your complete lack of any knowledge whatsoever about this. I grew up in this athmosphere and I'm really disappointed by how easily you judge things from a PC screen.

Horse racing itself is cruel. That's another matter.

Do you honestly think naturally skittish horses arent enduring their personal hell in all that melee. Regardless of physical injury, they will be terrified. Is that acceptable. It's not ok to cause mental suffering as long as no physical injury is done. Cruelty is cruelty, animal abuse is animal abuse. Enough is enough.

Adge, the horses you see there, come from a special breed that's been created specifically for the Palio. They are raised to be at ease in those situations, and had you ever been there at least once, you'd agree with me. There's nothing cruel, I can assure you.
But you can keep your opinion obviously.
I'd like to point out once again that you have a very very limited knowledge that comes only from videos. Please at least show some respect and do not judge.

seriously puntering someone for their culture is shitty. You may disagree with it but they way you have come across in those posts is very intolerant. You seem to of ignored what nibs has said and just ranted for the sake of it.

However, using "culture" and "heritage" as a way of defending a situation which could cause potential harm to animals is also shitty. But as Nibs says, I've never been to this event so can't really comment.

the Italian tourism minister wouldn't list Palio as one of Italy heritage events because of cruelty concerns.

To condone or not speak out against cruelty for the sake of culture or heritage is no good. I oppose this, British fox hunting, Spanish bull fighting, US bear baiting, regardless of nationality, culture, or heritage.

At this event 50 horses died in last 30 years. Many many more in training. Plenty of reports by league against cruel sports, and many Italian and international animal welfare groups. Even Italian government concerned about its cruelty.

If a fox hunter, bull fighter, pamplona runner, bear baiter, supporter of cruel 'culture' etc posts on here about something i disagree with, I'll raise awareness about it.

To say i puntered Nibs because of his culture isn't true. It was my reaction to a non climbing  spectacle i find morally repugnant on a climbing forum. Fair enough i think.

Plus i rarely punter, dont like doing it and as last time i puntered someone, i had just signed in to award Nibs a wad point to restore his karmic balance. Shant do that right now. It'd now feel like a climbdown, rather than good faith & a goodwill gesture to Nibs.

yes i am 'very intolerant' of cruelty

ranted for the sake of the horses, and to raise awareness. Not 'for the sake of it'

Well maybe not puntering in the first place would of been better. You raise some good points, but puntering was harsh, and adding one back doesn't change anything.

Ummh,  I don't think i've joined in abusing u (moo??!), I simply pointed out that perhaps as YOU posted 'you were thinking of rebalancing the karma for nibs' that maybe you shouldn't of been so quick to punter. Now your taking that as abuse?

Adge has requested that his account is deleted which I've done.

Not sure Sloper it's a good analogy either as I'm pretty sure most preferred to engage in discussion and argument rather than reaching for the punter button if they disagreed with his political views.

And he did actively seek punter points as a badge of honour/being a cunt. ;)

For fuck's sake, I liked Adge's posts.  He did engage in discussion and argument, in addition to reaching for the punter button.  I didn't realise puntering was such a big deal either.

I know nothing about the Palio and have no interest in the argument, but I don't think anything he said was invalid or that voicing his opinion was out of line.  People deleting their accounts after attempting to engage in discussion and argument and being met with personal abuse is not going to make for a better forum.

This.
I thought Adge made fair points, and while nibs is free to disagree I think bitching about the puntering and posting a vid then complaining when he was judged by it is a bit rich.

So, are we saying that we're intolerant of cruelty of animals, the facts about the Palio do speak for themselves, cultural tradition or not, or that we're intolerant of cruelty to nibile, puntering someone for their slightly misguided 'it's always been like this so there's no reason to change it' view does seem slightly harsh, but without criticism there's no education .........

What I can't get my head round is all this hoo-ha over a punter point. I've had my fair share, some deserved, some less so (my most recent for disagreeing with people getting their knickers in a twist over some melodramatic climbing reportage in the popular press). I think its an occupational hazard of posting an opinion on the board. Sooner or later someone is going to disagree with you.

I still think Lancashire Grit fucking garbage.

to inacurately paraphrase someone else totally out of context....

Nice one, personal abuse on a thread that started off about an important bouldering symposium.  N you lot say people are responsible for saying what they believe. You've all just took away the point of a group of boulderers and semi-boulderers drinking beer and chatting and made subsequent interested readers think ukb is a last bastion of knobheads. Can I suggest a thread entitled "abusing people for posting their opinions"
May I suggest one or in rare circumstances two offensive remarks in a thread then get back on track with the original point. Keeps it fresh and slightly interesting



for christ sake, there haven't even been any good puns

I assumed that Dense was good friends with Adge and that calling him a knobhead was crag-like banter
