UKC

Following on from my pay for Rocktalk thread

Would any one else actually like a UKC/Rocktalk tee shirt ? don’t know if any one else is the same but if I get chatting to someone at a crag I usually ask if they post on UKC and have met a few people that do (I am always amazed at the amount of people that have never even heard of it)

You could have your name on them and everything !

Long sleeve cotton tee, we could even get our own Duncan Bourne to draw up a cartoon for it

I’d buy one any one else ?

In reply to NIGBEE:

I think there might be a few Yates moments on the crags if we willingly identified ourselves.

In reply to NIGBEE:

there was one designed a couple of years ago. Jude CT has one - she was wearing it at the Brimham picnic. I think Duncan designed that one too.

In reply to curlymynci:

I try to avoid everyone I see at crags in case they identify me and decide to throw eggs at me.

In reply to CJD: Jude did something on the Friends of UK Climbing (FUKC) theme. looked the dogs. funny too. that was back in the day though.

In reply to CJD:

ah, all before my time on here

In reply to NIGBEE:

I've seen judes I think it's a good idea to get duncan the cartoony (sorry thats not even a word) style is fun, I'd have one

In reply to NIGBEE:

Have a laugh!

I wouldn't want to be associated with the forum when I was on the crag, and would imagine others to be the same.

In reply to Imperium:

Surely you would like to identify at a glance the experts on:

3PS
Top Roping
Which Rope to Buy
Tying Abseil ropes

etc. ?

In reply to NIGBEE:
As others have said above, was done a while back - the pic was a group caricature of some of the more infamous posters of the day iirc.

But sometimes it's more fun to guess - creates some interesting comedy moments and, if you ask someone who isn't a rocktalker, that's another bod who's been made aware of the site who didn'y know about it before. . . . admittedly, I've made it easy for people by painting my username across the front of my helmet in inch-high letters.

In reply to CJD:

Too late, you have been spotted by my spies. A crate of extra large free range is being loaded at this very moment.

In reply to Wingnut:

<awaits lectures on degradation of helmets due to solvents>

In reply to Ridge:

really? where?

oh lord. I hope I wasn't being loud or abusive. I really do try to be quiet and hope that people don't notice me.

poo.

In reply to Wingnut:

maybe time for a new one ?

In reply to NIGBEE:


Shouldn't they pay us for the advertising?
Does that mean we'd be professional climbers and we'd have to give up amateur status?

In reply to MeMeMe:

for me its a state of mind

In reply to Wingnut:
>admittedly, I've made it easy for people by

That slightly deranged glaze and uncontrollable tick in my eyes, going "Chhoooooo! Choooooo!" at regular intervals and walking about with manky old cimbing gear covered in gaffer tape.

In reply to NIGBEE:

State of mind and body for me...

In reply to NIGBEE: no way would i buy one.
Its bad enough as it is people recognising me at the crag but to actally advertise the fact im a bored 9 -5 worker who wastes time on rt is an insane idea.

In reply to Adders:

well said.

In reply to CJD:

you sure

they could do a pink one

In reply to NIGBEE:
I had one for a while but lost it to a hungry cow in China so in the market for a new one.
Keep me informed on any progress.
You can see the previous t shirt in my photo gallery.

In reply to NIGBEE:

I'd buy one.

In reply to CJD:

We were goin to sell them, in various styles, with the username on the back, a la footy shirts, but we got so much sneering and shit from some people, and so little enthusiasm, that we dropped the idea. We needed about 100 interested punters to make it worthwhile, and we had skinny lycra T's, for the girls, long-sleeved T's, hoodies, strappy crop-tops and standard T's. Maybe we ought to revive it. Then again maybe someone else should. I've got mine.

In reply to NIGBEE:
couldn't we have something a little more discreet, like the AA pin

In reply to NIGBEE:

Dear NIGBEE

You have some whizz ideas. Why don't you set a subscription up, and pay me not to post on UKC.

PS Have you asked UKC for a fee for your "Intellectual Property Rights" for this idea?
