Mordor

Prejudice is a strange thing. Mostly it stops you having fun and makes you sound stupid. There's this character on UKClimbing who's too scared to use his/her own name. They're called "bullscrack". They spent most of last week slagging off Crowden Great Quarry on the forum. Of course, people can say what they like when they're anonymous. Same old same old...had s/he bothered to turn up and put some effort in they would have enjoyed themselves, but of course they didn't so they came across as a fool. Anyway, those of us who came along had an excellent time, and then we ended up in the Crown, Glossop (£1.31 a pint) and then the Naseeb (£5.95 for a chicken maurice massalla) and we all drove home in a glorious thunderstorm. Stick that in your crack and smoke it!

It wasn't John Wheeler, it was Wingnut

A car park full of sweating families but bereft of climbers told its own story on Saturday. I almost bailed as the thought of going to Rollicks with Billy Nomates wasn't that appealing. I went anyway, because I knew I'd feel guilty for the rest of the day in case someone turned up. Good job, really, as Liz Asquith emerged from the stunted oaks to join me at the half way fence. Between us, we finished off Rollick Stones, did a new route and failed to find the new one that Keith "Soft as Cheese" Ashton claims to have done a few weeks ago...now then!
