Came back to look for this thread, nothing in months, what’s going on? Have my fellow Scots abandoned forum? Oh well Everyone else went over to NPR.

Let’s judge how much fun a massive recession is before we make our judgements. Btw the reason Lock down wasn’t 4 months ago was we’d just been told by the WHO human to human contact wasn’t occurring. Wow, that is genuinely moronic or another lie from Bimbobot. 4 months ago was 17 January This tweet...

I started climbing when the likes of Ben Moon, Jerry Moffatt, Johnny Dawes and Wolfgang Gullich were tearing up the place. Same, mid-80s through mid-90s were my main climbing years. Then marriage, kids, work, age and fatness gradually wore me down. :lol: Spent one summer in the south of France and ...

Yep, very few of those big British climbers from the 60s still around. Haston, Patey, Whillans, McNaught-Davis all gone.

Hamish McInnes is still going strong at 89 though as is Bonnington.

I'm not sure they have. This will become more and more apparent. It's a bizarre situation.

What’s your prediction at the moment Sen?

Biden as nominee would be pretty funny, he seems to gaffe every time he opens his mouth.
