Title: qui êtes-vous ?
Post by: Stu Littlefair on January 03, 2006, 10:24:21 am
Right you lot. I climb 8a, but who the fuck are you? Lots of people post on this site with witty and interesting nicknames, like "saltbeef", and "moo", which is very mysterious and makes us look like a funky little club. I like it. But I'm also a nosey little bastard and have a sneaking suspicion that behind the nicknames some of you might be people I've met, or at least burnt off once. This makes me feel a bit uncomfortable; I don't want to be slagging someone off on a friday only to find they're arranging my pads on a saturday.

So i thought it might be nice if I found out who everyone really was; like a proper, google-able name, perhaps a picture and a brief description of your favourite things.

To kick things off: I'm Stuart, like it says on the tin. I climb mostly in the peak district with my friend Rupert. I like chocolate, but not cheese. I have an over-inflated sense of adequacy. Please don't ignore this thread. I'll feel shunned.

:lol:

I'm not sure how many people will be owning up to this one - even I only know who about half of them are and I have access to signup information, etc.

For the record, I don't think I've ever met you Stu, but I have met Ru. I think my real name is somewhere in the photo gallery, and probably findable by using domain information that's publically available.

Googling my name actually brings up way more information for a classic motorbike racer of the same name...not that you'd be googling for any of my climbing achievments anyway!

I'm some no mark scouser who doesn't climb hard and most people who know me know I'm fatneck. But I have thoroughly enjoyed working out who's who over the last couple of years. Pseudonyms like C.J.D. and Pantontino are easy, others are easy if you've met the person, like ferret. But there are still a few mystery strong folk to be outed I'm sure.

Discovered who Dense was recently, although it's obvious if you think about it... :roll:

Wierd... my alter-ego also races bikes.. well a superbike racer actually.

Stu - I use a pseudonym so I can't get googled at work as I like a bit privacy.

That said, I have met you once or twice.  Gav Ellis' stag-do was one..

Not quite sure why I'm replying to this thread, I guess I'd hate to think that Stu would feel shunned by a lack of responses to an interesting thread that appeals to my inate sense of wondering who everyone actually is.  His sense of adequacy might be compromised.

This is all sounding like an AA meeting isn't it?  Maybe NA would be more appropriate given that NYE has just passed but here we go:

My name's Ben, my surname begins with an F.  I live in Liverpool and climb mostly in the Peak, Yorkshire and North Wales.  Nobody on this site will know who I am (with a couple of exceptions) and I don't climb hard, just too often.  I like mantels into slopey, green scoops above bad landings.


PS:  Fatneck, nobody I know calls you Fatneck.

I also like gin,beer, wine, electronica and studying medicine(yes I'm a geek).I climb mostly at the tor, the wall in sheff or peak grit, and every hols i can i like to get away to foreign climes to crank. oh and i'm quite nice don't hate me!

Tim Stubley - climber of little note, usually found at almscliff. I've met Bonjoy at the cliff and at Kilnsey a few times, and Panto at Caley, but i think that's about it for UKB peeps.  

I think it's fair enough if people want to stay anonymous for privacy reasons, but i think it's a bit weak to not identify yourself when slagging people off.

Consider my two penneth added  :wink:

Spot on, although to be honest there's rarely much slagging off on this site.  That's why I like it, it's almost always light-hearted, fair and most posters have salient and interesting things to say.

There's a rumour going round that I'm gay which is completely without foundation. There's also a rumour that I stalk dense, but I only stalk people who are really strong. Along with r-man, my youthful enthusiasm is wasted on the quarries and I can't get out anywhere else anyway.

Wasted/Quarantined...  :lol:

Anyway, I'm moving to Sheffield tomorrow. The quarries and their esoteric riches will remain dear to my heart, and the projects will have to wait for another day (cos I'm pretty sure no one else is interested). Most galling of all, I managed all but the final move on Right Hand Hank and time has run out... However, I'm pretty certain my grit-based thrutchsome frolics of the coming months will drown out any sorrows...

So anyway, some of you may know me from such movies as The Day the Earth Stood Still and the critically acclaimed sequel, The Day The Earth Stood Stiller. Yes, that was me in the lead role. A more convincing portrayal of the Earth has never been witnessed on screen.

I know Andi_e, occasional posters Jonny Raymen and MB, and I've met clm and Graeme once. I can confirm they are all different people. Andi_e is perhaps the most different.  :wink:  Actually, I'm pretty sure I've bumped into a few of you before around the peak and probably in magic woods in August, but only worked it out later.

Outside UKb I make surprisingly few lists. I'm unemployed/freelance at the moment, and if anyone has any work for a writer, I'd be grateful... If not, you may see me behind a bar in sheffield in the near future...

Post by: Fiend on January 03, 2006, 02:07:27 pm
I'll stick with my name Fiend.

I'm a trad climber really, but come on here because the clientelle (SP?) are a lot less irritating than those on UKClimbing.

I like: single pitch crags, quarries, esoterica, hidden gems, interesting rock formations, and routes which are bold but safe.

I dislike: suffering from bad psychology, sweaty skin, and the lack of self-awareness and though amongst some climbers.

UKB ticks:

Stu - saw you in Outside once, moaning about Inertial Reel Traverse.
Ru  - saw campusing down the Foundry.
nik - climbed with in Denham quarry and met on the hobbling foot Plantation day.
fatneck - met at Cratcliffe.
BenF - met and spotted at Cratcliffe.
Scouse - met down the Matrix now there's a surprise.
Kim - climbed with at Filey Brigg before he became a Beardown G I think.
Dense - went to font with.
Jim - went to font with and met at Eagle Tor.
clm - met in Egerton quarry on a clean-up meet.
squeek - climbed with in Anglezarke and at Slipstones.
unclesomebody - saw at Burbage South, see below.
james - passed up toothbrush when he was checking Equilibrium on abseil.
Bonjoy - met at the Edge (lack of antennae confused me the first time).
grimer - met in his earlier days in Auchinstarry Quarry and stole one of his Irish friends to climb with.
SA Chris - met at Almscliff and climbed with up near Aberdeen.
hongkongstuey - stopped over with in HongKong for a cool guided tour.
Johnny Brown - saw at Stanage when he was soloing Goliath's Groove in trainers, facing outwards.
cofe - saw when he was pissing himself witnessing the above.
sloper - seconded up and HVS traverse at stanage after he scared a n00bie shitless on it.
Huffy - went round and collected a copy of Consumed.

Errmmm, that's quite a few actually. And a disproportionate number were in Lancashire quarries or other esoterica  :wink:

Also, UKB people I've had beef with on UKC:

dave
unclesomebody
james
FH
maybe Paz?
...think that's all?

I am Nik Jennings.

I am however not at work, as I don't have a job.

Quite a few of my friends know me as Keeg (which is the name I post under on RT).

I have met you in passing a few times Stu although you probably don't know who I am so I will not be offended if you don't remember. Most recently was probably a couple of years ago when I hobbled past you at the plantation having knackered my ankle falling off the business boulder.

I am largely inconsequential in the climbing world, and really don't climb often enough to justify the label climber.

But next season I'll be back (or maybe the one ofter that)...

Post by: moose on January 03, 2006, 04:45:18 pm
My signature pretty much tells the story.  I'm a tall, thin, shambling figure who haunts the Durham University Chemistry Department.  You may have stumbled across me at various Yorkshire grit / "county" crags (or Sunderland Wall): my Martin Keown-esque features furrowed in contemplation of a crossword as I try to pace my efforts on whichever V6ish problem I am blighting.  

Real name: Luke.
Special Powers: bad sequence invention, complaining about the cold, and malt-loaf consumption.

I think I have met a few of the ukb regulars in the flesh though I don't believe I've ever properly introduced myself.  Is this thread a supporting case for some potentially ice-breaking ukbouldering t-shirts? Perhaps I should wear antlers whilst out-and-about? Or maybe just stop being so bloody rude?!

Anyway, I once chatted to someone I'm fairly sure was Squeek on a baltic day under the Calf.  We both struggled with the cold and some very slippery V5 eliminates before he went on to Almscliff.  Later on Ru turned up with a posse and did a hideous looking V11ish traverse (Pikkatu Challenge?); impressing me both with his ability to invert his pelvis whilst laying away from holds that appeared painted on (I suspect helium was involved) and with his rather nice hat.  

Also met the beardown bunch and Jordan Buys filming some grit action at Widdop last spring - vaguely recall chatting with dave (I think) about the greatness of Kyloe-in.  

Have also climbed briefly with Sloper at Slipstones (there had been some kind of "picnic" at Brimham).  We spotted one another on Ripper before making our mutual excuses for giving-up and him deciding to regale us with font anecdotes whilst our finger-tips clotted.

I'm as inconsequential in real life as I am on here, although I have actually climbed with you down Cheedale once.

I'm interested in this thread because I am stalker of famous climbers but I'm also interested to see if anyone climbs as badly as me. Unfortunately it would seem not, so I shall go over to Rocktalk where I can be condecending to people without feeling embarassed.

My real name is instantly unrecognisable. I started using Palomides as a name I didn't mind losing in the world of chaos that was the old planetfear forum. It's apposite for a number of reasons that only I know, care about or find faintly amusing.

You don't know me Stu, although I think I beat you in a BUSA comp once, and I once gave you a toprope on Big Greeny.

I also don't know any of the UKB/UKC glitterati, although I was staying in the Sella refugio at the same time as Pantontino and his gf - and the crazy man with the cactus wine and the gun.

Hurray! This is better than I'd hoped. I feel like I know you all so much better. Nik I do remember you. The first time we met was at the edge I think, where we were introduced by a third angry dwarf, or mike lea, I don't remember which.

Unfortunately there are a few people who have posted clinging to anonymity, whilst darkly hinting that they know me. Now I respect the right to privacy as much as the next, but it does mean you'll miss out on wedding invites...

Word.

My name is Tom - I sacked off living in Derby after 9 years and now reside dahhhn the smoke, climbing at Mile End loads.

During my time as perennial Peak climber I have certainly met you Stu, tho I can't remember where. Probably Burbage South knowing me.

I also met Ru just after the guide came out, think it was at Curbar car park last year. Seem to remember I was both complimentary and charming... :wink:

Bimbled about at Eagle Tor with Bubba, Mr and Mrs FBSF and others on a very, very cold day last winter...think I wasn't climbing through elbow pain or summat.

Met the Beardown posse at Cuba once, and certainly spotted / watched Kim chuck himself off Ron's Slab at Stanage once.

Sure I may have met others, so many Peak climbers I know from sight but not by name...

Hey Palomides, you weren't with Guy Maddox were you? I've got some photos somewhere - I'll have to dig them out. Did you come to that shitty bouldering crag with me?

Geoff was the bloke with the gun. I remember him taking great pleasure in winding up some outraged Scandinavians who completely took the bait. The crux of his argument being, that (amongst many other things) what makes the British a nation of heros is our propensity for football violence. (I doubt that he'd ever been to a footy match in his life though.) Last I heard from him, he was living near Madrid.

The girlfriend you mentioned is now my wife.

Stu, the last time I think we actually met was probably at Almscliff in the early/mid 90s. You were doing footless problems on the lip of the crucifix roof, IIRC. I was probably with Streaky, Ed Brown, Oli Wright or JP.

fuck, i was there that day but can't remember who i was talking to about kyloe! can't picture a face at the moment.

Incidentally i have a great memeory for comedy Tv and film quotes, but a shite memory for putting names to faces. I always find myself talking to people at the crag that i've met several times before and who clearly know who I am and what my name is and who i'm obviously supposed to have remembered their names but can't, but have met too many times to turn round to them and say "actually who the fuck are you?". For example that scouse guy i tend to see everywhere with no rockshoes or chalk.

does anyone know who that guy is who is always around the eastern grit, looks like gary barlow? shit i used to see that guy everywhere.

I'm Jonny. I used to be a total prick on here and actually train hard and diet and climb sort of okayish sometimes. I have apparently pissed off one very famous climber to the point where he claimed that if he ever met me he'd 'give me a good battering'. If it's who I think it was, everything is cool now. I have met, albeit very briefly, Mr Burns, Nigel and seen Mr Chapman from a distance.

These days I hope I'm held in slightly higher esteem than I used to be as I don't spout as much bullshit, but am now fat and weak and don't train properly and go to the gym more than I climb and get pissed too much and have a shoulder/back injury that never goes away.

Oh, and I love Fightstar and am going to see them live in March at Barrowlands. :8)

Stu, your sneaking suspicion that you have burned me off is grounded, in fact I have lost count of the number of times it happened. However I think I was not the one who got burned off on Putsborough, or indeed was left vomiting on the beach at any point.

I have met several bods off here, including The Bub, Fatboyslimfast, Ru (once) HK Stuey (more often than I would like), Fallingdown, sloper, FH, Fiend, TTT, Ropeboy and suspect I have bumped into several others over time. Apologies if I haven't namechecked you personally.

Out of the UKB peeps I've climbed with Al, Grimer, Bubba, Fatboyslimfast, SA Chris (lots recently)...  I talked to Dave at the Tor... Doylo at the School... Pantontino at a couple of parties.. and there are others who I've seen out and about.

I've climbed knowingly with a few on here Ben F, Fatneck, Ru and unknowingly  probably with a lot more than that.  I normally haunt Yorks Limestone in the summer chuffing season, but find myself drawn strangely towards Peak Grit this winter.  Easy to spot due to lack of technique, strength, stamina and footwork, not to mention bad dress sense and outspoken attitude.

Oh go on then, seeing as everyone else is:
Bon, as in French for good

Quote
Good. 1.

Gen. i. 31.

Joy, as in joy.
Quote
Synonyms -- Gladness; pleasure; delight; happiness; exultation; transport; felicity; ecstasy; rapture; bliss; gayety; mirth; merriment; festivity; hilarity.


Which is not an invitation to call me Excellent Transport, Serviceable Felicity, or Admirable Gaylord.

Alternatively, a bad anagram of Jonboy

Also known as *o* **l****d, Texan nut-oil barren, collector of rare/exotic wild fowl, wizard's helper and whicker basket full of linnets; AKA Kapulin swiftfoot, gatherer of kelp and general brigand/ruffian. You know, the usual stuff.

Went to the lakes meet so have met everyone that was there and starred in the beard owners film so that's cofe, Dave,  scouse D, Jim, Dense, Pantontino, Bubba, Bonjoy, Kim, Greg, Mr Burns, et al.  Have also met/seen:

Fatboyslimfast at Slipstones,
Fiend I've climbed with twice,
Pantonio in v12 outdoors,
Jim, dense and james in Font.
Bonjoy at kilnsey,
Ru at BoulderUK,
Stu and dobbin in BBC rounds I've judged,
terraced ghost in Font,
Gaz Parry at BUK & Font,
Jee all the time (he's never posted anything but he's a member),
Percy B at BUK and BBCs,
Andy F in the MCC comp,
JonP at Earl, but only from a distance,

Hello Stu,

My real name is strikingly similar to Hark Mundleby and I have met you many times. I like Pina Coladas and getting caught in the rain.

i also know chubby nick aka sox who strangely is not so chubby now and not so easily burned off. and i know a sulking hippy dave.
but thats it, i think.



Steady on, anymore of that and i'll publish your mug shot. yes you know the one.

It's true though i am a chubby fuck, and dave is still on suicide watch.


yeah keep an eye on dave, take his ropes away, and make sure his flat only has cardboard furniture, oh hang on..........he hasnt got ANY furniture at all. :lol:  :lol:

my name has been mentioned several times on here.those of you who are desperate to know what i look like and you would have to be desperate.there is a picture of me in a late 70s early80s froggat guide.which to quote steve bancroft "shows the great white whale laybacking up the wrong side of synopsis"
these days i am a little slimmer and a lot balder.
the only person i know for sure of here is gollum who tolerates my shuffling arthrtic presence.although i suspect i've met tc,pantanioand fat boyslimfast in another life.

I think they were relatively new to climbing and obviously hadn't seen the article in question... I was tempted to say something to further sully G's reputation like but I'm not quick or funny enough..

Maybe once you're over a certain age, you no longer need the anonimity of a pseudonym on forums? This explains why Al, Grimer, Lucy A and me all seem to be registered our usual names. Maybe I should change mine. From now on I want you all to call me Brenda! (not really...)

Oh yeah, Stu, I still have a compact flash card of yours from Font a few months ago. Let us know next time you're down the Edge and I'll drop it in.

At the outdoors show, Phil, I talked about my own Everest summit experiences. Afterwards, some kid came up with a massive coffee table book and asked me to autograph it. This I did, then he started saying What was it like and that. I didn't know what he meant so i asked, and he said Everest. Then i told him i'd only been fucking with him, and he looked down in disappointment at the scrawl on his brand new book, and walked away a sadder person.

You use your full name because of the rumours that you were the younger brother of the disreputable troll, notorious wire-brusher, and one time UKB bannee "Big Frank" and didn't want to have the family name sullied with his behaviour  :wink:
