@john_sheard @mark_radtke I want a cut of the royalties from my book. Gravity is kind here but the ethics are strict. #nochippinginheaven #godstheboss

Beans on toast

In reply to Michael Ryan:

@john_sheard@mark_radtke Oops, just realised there are no royalties, proceeds go to the charity of the hospital which saved Sheardy's life. Anyway don't really need money here. Tell Mick Ryan I've got my eye on him.

Err... that would be via Chee Tor?

chris@bonnington..the winch has run out of petrol

that must be a classic? but can anyone remember the one about dangling money...fivers? from the same route?

In reply to astley007:

At the risk of seeming a spoilsport, I've always thought that it was funny only for a few seconds. It went on far, far too long. Overall I felt it was unbecoming from Pete. Bonners gritted his teeth and showed amazing professionalism for the camera. I know I'd have let fly! (Probably in the last few moments before flying...)

It was a stark contrast to Bonners' marked courtesy towards Whillans on Dovedale Groove and, even more so, his genuine concern for Bill Peascod on Pillar Front. The maybe somewhat brash young man of yesteryear had matured. Perhaps the premature deaths of so many of his mates had returned him to the simple decency of consideration to others. Who knows? It's his business, not ours'.

Still and all, it was great to see Pete on camera one last time. Beforehand, he wondered if he'd get up it. But he did.

We like happy endings. Well I do anyway.

In reply to Mick Ward:

I can't remember if I ever saw the Footless Crow film, I suspect I didn't. What series was it part of? I've been googling it to find it maybe on youtube, but haven't come up with anything.

In reply to Mick Ward:



Well bespoke.

In reply to Andy Say:

Ah, thanks for that.

In reply to jon:

There's a part of the series here - youtube.com/watch?v=yRH9SvGQ6Rc&

In reply to Andy Say:
Thanks. I saw that one a few weeks back. I wonder if the Footless Crow one is lurking somewhere on video?

In reply to Mick Ward:


But without Bonners amazing professionalism the joke wouldn't have been funny in the first place !

Was he offended - or was the joke agreed before hand ?

In reply to Tricky Dicky:

@tricky_dicky thought these were supposed to be tweets from me (what ever tweets might be, no such thing when I was around) Any idea what you are talking about? Ever 'clawed' yourself up?

In reply to Chris the Tall:

@chris_the tall Think me and Chris B are ok. After all he was kind enough to speak at my funeral.
