I’m trying to find the Jam Crack episode where Niall talks about his near death experience involving a tube of super glue and a deflating sleeping mat.

If someone could point me to the episode number that would be great!!

I tried to recount the story to a mate the other day, however, partially due to breaking out in fits of laughter, I couldn’t do the whole tale much justice.

Thanks in advance!

Not sure it was ever a JC podcast.  I read the story many years ago (long before JC), when Grimer had a lot of stories and other writing in various places.  I seem to remember the title was 'Changed Priorities Ahead' and think that it was on Grimer's BMC pages (sadly, long since gone...) although I could well be wrong...

Let me know if you find it anywhere - it was ace!

Ah...Wayback Machine comes up with the goods...

About half way down.  Was indeed titled 'Changed priorities ahead'.  From 2007...!!!  Feelin' old.

I have a feeling he read out that story recently in this episode, I think I also read it much earlier maybe in print

Thanks Dave - That’s the story! Just had a read and a chuckle at some of the others on there too.

I am almost certain that the seam sealant story has featured on a JC episode though.

I will comment the episode number here so that you can give it a listen when I eventually find it.

Thanks Philip - doesn’t seem to be the super glue episode but I appreciate the help! 

Episode 62: Moon, Megos, Yuji, Lucille and Me. First half of this episode.

Interesting aside: I asked Grimer about this episode/story, and he responded "I've got the sleeping mat in the car, if you want to see". Funny bloke.

That’s the one! Thank you!

Haha - a true artefact of climbing heritage right there.
