  1. I take it you’re upset with Honnold’s bint?
  2. Aye, as amazing as Free Solo is, I found Dawn Wall a much more engaging film. From a climbing point of view, a route of such sustained difficulty is just mind boggling.
  3. What’s impressive is that the guy filming made a clear choice between… 1) Huge whale only metres away in a once-in-a-lifetime shot 2) Titties.
  4. Hang on, did Isegrim explosively shit his pants on the flight to Catalonia?
  5. In an alternative universe, I’d like to be a milliner and make sarcastic money from this annual festival of Hat Twattery . ( the headline picture, “many like to keep things simple but elegant”, with a picture of some bint with a cloth Sydney Fucking Opera House on her head).
  6. I have questions. What kind of animal is Peepoodo?
  7. Tbf, I panic-shaved my nads when I caught crabs at 18, and it got rid of the buggers. The grow-back was an itchy week, mind.
  8. I’m sure plenty of people will be offended by that, but let’s be honest, you could’ve said they had the first touch of an Ameobi, so let’s be grateful for that.
  9. Have you seen Dawn Wall on Netflix? It’s as good.
  10. Striped sleeves. Its not rocket science.
  11. I’m back - was only 7 day trip. The biggest difference I found was the pace things are done- what would’ve taken 2 days onshore ( If I’d really dragged things out), took 4 days. We were there to cut and cap a small, redundant pipe under the deck- rig the ropes, set up rescue system, have the pipe fitter climb out and do the job ( 1hr max), de-rig, pack up, done. Except… the second he cut in to the (supposedly dead for years) pipe, oil started pissing out, all over him, the ropes, and in to the drink. Our rescue plan was to lower him in to the rescue boat, which was on standby. As soon as we radioed them to come underdeck and get him, they said the swell was to much and they couldn’t come in. So we went to our back-up plan and brought him back through the oil covered ropes to deck. The subsequent inquest was fun We had all the paperwork from the rig operators stating the pipe was isolated, empty, etc , when it clearly wasn’t. The rescue boat should have alerted us to the swell being too much before we started, which they didn’t. We were praised for dealing with it quickly and safely, having back-up plans in place etc, having the fitter in all his PPE, and getting him quickly back on deck. We then had to re-rig the whole thing with clean ropes, and go back out and do it again. All before the weather came in. Which we did. It was a lively first trip. ( Had a day “on standby” waiting for places in a chopper to get home, so tore the neck off it )
  12. Typically, people take 3 days to do the Nose. I’d guess the extra time is due to her climbing the ropes directly more than on a usual ascent ( due to her height she’d struggle to reach many of the holds). Or maybe she’s just shit
  13. Sounds good, quite fancy that.… Is your Dad free at weekends or does he do weekdays as well?
  14. Aye. Fucking crazy, isn’t it?
  15. Selah Schneiter: Ten-year-old girl scales El Capitan https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-48680177 Mint.
  16. 54% would rather have Brexit even if it destroys the Tory party?
