Due to already explained reasons of disability I find my self venturing onto "other" forums. I'd forgotten how easy it is to start a fight on ukclimbing!!! Hours of fun!

:twisted:

Ah, but do you have the flourescent tights to look the part?

I don't think any climbers wear 80's stylee lycra anymore, but that's beside the point - cocktalk is a horrible forum full of trolls and people who don't have much of an idea about things. Good for finding information on obscure places, etc so long as you expect pretty much every topic to decend into trolling, pointless argument and vitriol. I avoid it nowdays.

Oh... sorry! That'll be me. I did try to put a reasoned reply on one topic and got beasted so thought I'd get stuck in!

Terrible really. Climbers generally (and I include myself of old) tend to be of the selfish, competitive nature. Nasty business.

All rather sad. Tried climbing while F&M was on. Met loads of a-holes at the climbing wall. A few were OK but the ones that were prepared to talk at me were only interested in finding out that they climbed at a "higher level" than me.

A typical trait I'm afraid (though of course not common amongst caver/climbers)!!

Very easily goaded that lot though.



:p

Well I've got to do something!

I notice that you have become an "obsessive maniac" Stu - Now there's something you can boast about on the climbing forum :wink:

Can't we just invent some bouldering type grade thingies for caving 'moves'? It could be a most excellent bit of fun, then we could make indoor caves that were dry and warm, and maybe put lights in them too so you can see, padded so you dont hurt yourself of course, and dress up in tight colourful lycra, oh, sorry- its 'baggies' nowadays isnt it, and strut around with our shirts off talking about the VT2"e grade squeeze we just did.

Oh, sorry. Been invented already i hear.

Although i do like the strutting round with the shirts off bit, its always good to show off a hard earned beer belly.

Please dont take that last bit the wrong way.
