I think you guys might appreciate this one more.

I was just reading the grit tick list thread on CT, someone pointed out an image of a guy climbing Wellington Crack:

And why is there a bloke in a dinner jacket at the bottom?

Show us yer beard, weird !!!

[Mike_H]

Shit

I didn't see that guy at the bottom with the dickie bow on, obviously keeping it old school  

[dave]

Maybe he's come straight from reffing the afternoon session at the Crucible.

bears a disturbing likeness to Nige berry circa '86
i seem to remember u having a beard and some nice crotchless polka dot tights at around the same time bubba

[Mike_H]

Fooking hell

If it ain't tight leathers its crotchless polka dot tights.

Is bubba some sort of deviant or what  :shock:

[Bubba]

I used to get them polka dot tights in C&A little girls clothing dept. These days, I'd probably get banged up for it..... "they're for climbing honest!" "you dirty sick pervert....", etc

Hmmm... I couldn't even grow a proper beard in those days and it was some pathetic patchy thing.....

Anyway, Fatboy, what did you look like in those days? All you needed was a dog on a string  

[Mike_H]

What you went out and purposefully bought the most lurid tights available - shame on you.

You can't even defend yourself with  - "well the whole crew I kicked about with wore them."

Or you'd have the following retort - "Who were they then the girl guides"

Hold your head in shame Bubba!

[fatboySlimfast]

the very same thing was said on sunday
referring to my staring role on the photo pages of the old staffs guide!
Well black shiny lycra, big baggy tramp jumper and long semi dreaded hair were all the rage werent they?
also its my arse hanging out of some more polka dot tights on crescent arete in the first al williams bouldering guide
ah fame...........

[Bubba]

What you went out and purposefully bought the most lurid tights available - shame on you.

They were tasteful compared to my Pink/White striped Troll tights....but the chief offender of those times in my mind was Dave Pegg.

Scrawny chicken legs inside the most minging, full on lycra tights with a fish-scale pattern on them - fully repulsive, even for the 80's.

If I ever get a slide scanner I should be able to earn some good blackmail money.

Yeah FBSF - them lurid black tights make me shudder with the memory!

[dave]

I always assumed that photo of FBSF on Wings in the '89 staffs guide was of a biatch, all beit a very ropey one.

[Bubba]

Yeah, FBSF with his androgynous looks  

[fatboySlimfast]

cheeky git dave

[dave]

You know I'm jus' fuckin wit ya.  :wink:
