Sorry Nibz,

Enigma machine broken; my psychic is on holiday; and there are too many roofs on Planet Earth to hazard a close guess . . .     In Italy?

No wait!  You said grey skies (sound of cogs whirring) Eureka!!   You're in Wales!

No, but you can hear one hand slapping.

Nice one Nibs, I eagerly await the video.

That's what I like about modern bouldering. The calmness, the restraint, the triumph of subtley over flamboyance.

Piss funny video, Mr T. Very errrr....colourful....outfit too.

I'd wager not.


I'd just like to say how much I like the new shorn Nibz:  he really suits a mohican.  But I'm a traditionalist:  long hair for ladies;  short hair for men.

I see, that's why you keep your hair short then?
