More hardcore N Wales limestone action this afternoon: this time it's Danny's turn.



The brutal first crux move.

Of course I meant to type 'Louis' - can one of the moderators change that? (It must be the naming curse of Lou Ferrigno/Ferrino.  :shrug:)

Job done. For some reason it wouldn't let me do that the first time.

Yes, what is the thing about Lou Ferrino? Wasn't Lou Ferringo the steroid cow who played the Hulk?

It was a mistake, but it stuck, and it seemed a bit weird changing it once the name was so well established. Either way, it's a  great name for a great problem.

That explains it. I was worrying for a moment that my memory of 1980s US TV was letting me down.

Good work youth. To coin a wise man "look briliant".  :-\

What you mean like this...



PS: Nice to see the old Chili pad is still going strong.

Fear not Gregory,

Myself and the mandingo spent some time wrestling natives in the arse-end of the Upper Seiont back in '95 and we learnt much of their brute, Cro-Magnon-like tongue.

(Ha!  Feisty little chaps they are too, but nothing a good crack of a bull-whip can't sort out sharpish, what?!)


Takes me back to the time I'd taken the Rudge out for a spot of high-jinx in the rough, somewhere near that place the savages call KlanberriezNgonapo-po . . .

Is this a reference to witnessing a ghost having a fuck, 'ghostdogging: way of the keenofai' if you will, or fuckwittedness?

Okay Mr C, Nigel told me an interesting tale of a BFG style farmer up at Thorn, 18th century dress, giant ears, crook and a twin brother - you know the rest!
