So did you enjoy the cornice last night boys? (Dave, Cofe) Good to see you putting some of that bouldering strength into routes. Pity the conditions were not that favourable. will you be going back.. :?:

[dave]

to be honest i didn't really enjoy it that much. the moves on brach dance are ok but nowt that special IMHO and its inconveniently steep to work easily. would have been better if it had been equipped wi a proper lower-off anda  deffinite finish to aim for when it was bolted, instead of only half doing the job.

having said that i dare say i'll be back there at some point, but i'm not that awestruck to be honest.

So did ye bag Glue Machine Mr Roger?

[Rocketman Rob Smith]

the routes are a bit awkward to work because the crag is so steep but it comes togther really fast and it becomes less of a pain in the arse when you can link big sections.  It seems better to work them on lead rather than top rope as the top rope constanly pulls you away from the route. You'll be back once you get the bug, its a great crag.

[Rocketman Rob Smith]

Mr Bon, what makes you think I am who you think I am.
Last night was a bit crap really, seemed really greasy...will explain the logistics later. 2moro..?

[Bonjoy]

No, am off to Malham with the Chrome. Was forced to work yesterday till midnight on some shitty radio mast in Lincoln so have earned a free day off, so am gonna have another pop at the Oak.

aye, quim and cofe seemed to like it, but thats probably cos they're a pair of little bitches. i'd go back provided cofe cleans the route again and i can belay from a deckchair.

[Bonjoy]

Did you find the full hands-off knee bar rest on BD yoth?

[dave]

we spotted where it probably was (next to the shattered loose flake?) and to be honest thought it was bollocks!

lets face it lovejoy, its not a kneebar that makes it feel 7b, its being an 8b climber that makes it feel 7b!  :wink:

[cofe]

i for one enjoyed it - especially tekkin a flyer. woo! absolutley bastard to strip (and dogg) - trapped me arm in a quickdraw trying to haul back in.

it's truethoug , me and copper top kim are going back for sure although i was a bit gutted when i read in the guide that the last move is zi crux. :roll:

shame on you - you've just gone down a notch in my estimation, or rather you've just lost the notch of respect i had for you Mr Ryder :wink:

i expected it from dave: he can't actually name any england footballers (i remember testing him last year)  

[Bonjoy]

Football buttfall! Bunch of pampered show ponies bursting into tear at the drop of a hat, no thanks momma! :hidesofa:

[Bubba]

Best thing about the footy is that the roads are empty

.... anyway, watch it Cofe or I'll send Bez round to gurn you to death and hit you  with his maracas

[cofe]

you're absolutely right! it's a shame italy are  out, we won't get to see Francesco Totti on his knees in the opposition penalty area hands raised in prayer. classic.

you've got to watch en ger land though, that car stereo thieving numbskull yoot from scouse's neck o't woods is on fire at the mo. yo.

Banks in goal
Moore
Lineker
Hurst
Geoff Astle
Shilton
Nobby Styles (now theres a name you wanna have)
Gazza
Barnes

I think football might have been alright back in the "threpny bits on the terraces, handlebar moustaches, jumpers for goalposts" era, when training was a couple of laps of the ground followed by a woodbine and a pint of mild and a fish supper in newspaper.

These days its all fairys, woofters, ponces, billion ££ transfers, TV rights, burberry, Stella, and combat18 - I'll give it a miss if you don't mind.

dave would have two keepers in his starting lineup. i rest my case.

(plus he blatantly googled 'england footballers'....) :wink:

[dave]

shilton was the sub goaly, obviously.  :roll: Plus i'm sure he could play out if he swapped jerseys with someone.
