Hello all at UKB. I’ve been off the radar for a long time, but I’ve always found this forum to be a safe and good place to seek advice on life outside of climbing. I am looking for any insight from members who have had to use a court to resolve family matters. By that, I mean to have a court...

Hello, My partner is selling a Rainbow Screens insulated screen for a T5, thought it might be of some interest to folks on here. She is based in Kendal, but I could also deliver in and around North Yorkshire, County Durham area. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1006300814689576/?

Hello all. I don’t post here much these days, but I’ve always found the advice from the forum members to be extremely useful over the years, on a number of topics. So here goes…… I moved into a rental property on the 1st of February, it was handled by a local estate agent. I signed a 6 month...

The wheels fell off my attempts after a promising start. I went down with some kind of flu last Monday, and I’ve not been right since. 2 full days in bed, sweating and shivering with some hallucinations thrown in for good measure. I’ve not got a permanent sensation of my head being in a vice, a...

Hey up UKB! I’ve been absent from these pages for quite some time, but Sharkathon 2024 seems like a perfect reason to resurface. I’ve got fatter, weaker, and not climbed for an age, so not much to lose really. We had a 2 hour ramble today to start the year, so day 1 complete. I also kept off...

Update! The dealer initially tried to squirm out of it, but I got on my soapbox and started quoting various things a legal friend advised me to say. So as it stands, he has agreed to put another 3 months warranty on it at his cost, and then we will claim on said warranty for the work to be...

Hello UKB. I’m reaching out to see if anyone has been through the debacle I’m about to enter. Details as follows…. I bought a 2011 Passat CC from an independent dealer in Leeds, on the 28th of February this year. I was given a 3 month warranty as part of the deal, which was about as much use...

Ash dieback is a real bugger. I’ve spent the vast majority of my time since I set my little forestry business up dealing with it. There are very obvious signs that a tree is suffering from it, as has been mentioned. However, we have felled trees that appeared fine, but we’re far from it. I would...

Not sure if it’s been mentioned, but we’ve been enjoying a series called Yellowjackets.

Poor Bob is not a well man it seems

My deadlifting has not gone entirely to plan! Well I was making decent progress after hitting 145kg, dropped weight and doing lots of working sets. But alas, on Sunday my back went pop. Likely a herniated disc, so for now, I’m doing naff all. Was annoying as was 2nd rep in 3rd set at 110kg, all...

I should add, they are all very much useable, but not in use as such due to my complete and utter lack of climbing activity these days!

I have an S7 pad that was donated to me by TC of this parish. I also have an original Franklin Drop Zone (before they became Black Diamond) and a tiny Snap pad for sit starts. Amusingly, this small pad was referred to as a “deus” pad for a while, as a mate read it upside down and the name stuck...

I've just started with a PT at the gym this month. One day a week to begin with, tonight's was the 3rd session. I think the years of climbing, followed by years of forestry has given me a decent baseline to start with. Terrible inefficiencies in my technique, but managed 145kg tonight. Pretty...

Amazing end to the premier league. I was watching the City match, and once Villa got their second, I though that’s it. I switched over to watch the Liverpool match, and City started banging them in! I flicked back over after City got their third, and Liverpool started scoring goals! Crazy stuff...

I lost my voice shouting at the tele, the relief from winning finally is immeasurable!

https://soundcloud.com/wilson-frisk/dan-roberta-askew-wedding-vybez-23rd-april-2022 This guy blew me away and enabled me to drunkenly dance for hours on end at a wedding this weekend. Totally top guy as well, I’d highly recommend him.

Oh, and Moonknight on Disney+ is tres Bon. Well it is if you’re a marvel geek like me, but the man in man Oscar Isaac is immense in this.

We are almost done watching Pieces of Her on Netflix. Been quite enjoyable, if a little hard to follow on occasion.

Season 4 of Wellington Paranormal out now. One of the best comedies of recent times IMO.
