Don't worry though, I was always told that you aren't really old until you hit 36

36???? In the UK you get your pension at 36

Just when I thought this was the friendliest forum around, the insults come thick and fast I'll have you know that 1970 was a good year(at least for wine) although in two months I'm 37(not sure if that's a good or bad thing?)

Good to see you back on the forum Loz, and happy birthday

Where abouts in Ireland are you going?

[Ripley451]

We're off to the Burren.

And I'm sorry to disappoint Alienator but both grandmothers are dead. I think you're getting us Brits mixed up with rednecks from Louisiana

[Rue Sports]

It's good to hear that things are looking up for you, especially on your birthday!
Next time I'm over I'll bring my climbing gear and you'll have to show me some good climbs!

[Ripley451]

Brent, have you ever thought of making carbon Friends? Then we can have climbing weight weenies.

[Frankie - B]

That would be awesome!!!

[Ripley451]

I'm sure Robin or Nicolai will pop up to say that cf is unsuitable due to multidirectional loading

[drjones96]

tis not true. You can design carbon layups for different loadings.

Hmmmmm.....I think I'll let someone else fall-test them first. So, Ripley, you want a full CF Friend? Cams and all? I'm thinkin' you could maybe do somethin' with maybe Boron and winter toys, like ice screws, deadmen, pickets. Could shed some serious weight on technical ice.....could be dangerous. Sounds fun.

Dunno, me mind is still perturbed by a nudist climber I saw on a local wall a month ago. Talking about fiber, he'd ought to do some bush trimming, before setting him over some, eh inspective view of a bedazzled crowd.

It's good to see that you still have that cyclic inhalation/exhalation habit.

[Ripley451]

Yes, I feel the same way funnily enough

[Fibre-Lyte]

Wow, I'm starting to reminisce (is that how you spell it?) of good times past. Ripley451 and Alienator in the same thread Looks like a great start to 2009 is on the cards
