Packed out upstairs at the Brincliff Oaks. Grimer was on stage with a nice selection of animal photos, asked anyone from Llanberis to leave, told a few tales like he does about pythons being eaten by cobras, asked various people to confess their sins, was very rude to Lucy Creamer, made everyone laugh. Kevin Thaw showed climbing photos from Cerro Torre but talked enthusiastically about the areas fine boulder problems and Alan Mullin's glasgow kiss, did the best effort ever with a 20 minute slot. break. caption comp. anticipation. Jerry had to be coaxed on stage (shy?), but did us proud and showed pics from the early days, taking us through his career (spangly tights and headbands), training, goals, doing the hardest routes, friends, pics of wolfgang doing 1 finger plymetrics, loads of classic photos and then a very funny bit on Hampi with climbing monkeys. Rapturous applause for Jerry. great night.

ive asked jerry already, but he has affiliations elsewhere and doesnt think it would be the right thing to do, for which ive got the utmost respect.
ive been thinking of asking big ron to do one but quite honestly with the treatment ive got from certain quarters in here recently i just cannot be arsed to put myself out anymore.

In reply to Gryph: Gryph, i was really looking forward to meeting you too! we went down to the bar but there was no-one there (probably because last orders had gone, and we forgot about sunday closing times, doh) so we faffed around deciding what to do for 10 minutes and by the time we left everyone had gone. what a shame! darn. i really wanted to meet you too. grrrrrrr!
In reply to Tom:
i thought the whole show was sparkling, as usual. couldnt believe the number of people there. i felt that the seating was a bit claustrophobic though, it would have been more sociable to be sitting at tables rather than in rows - what did anyone else think?
i also didnt understand why grimer didnt use his greenland trip for material....or presumably you're planning a separate show for that grimer? i thought the llanberis stuff was hilarious.
jerry's slide show was really good, starting and ending with a selection of slides to music which was great. and as tom says, he got a truly rapturous round of applause.
he is obviously such a widely respected man.....i just wonder sometimes........i dont think one person in that audience would have wanted to say anything negative about him to his face last night, and yet in here he very often gets slated. it just brings it home, in this artificial arena we should use our power to hurt people with caution......jerry's show was at no time egotistical or arrogant, it was a very self-deprecating and funny performance, i really enjoyed the whole night.

Hi all,
I was at the Oaks with a few mates last night and thought it was great as well. I thought Grimer was funny in the usual random way, the lecture on big routes was entertaining but I like many was there to see Jerry Moffatt.
I've got to say that I was expecting a side if Jerry that I just didn't see. Sure he showed a few slides of him posing (with and without his cars), but nothing was made of it. I couldn't believe he didn't want to face his audience, and I came away with a lot more respect for the guy, especially the amount of focus and effort he seems to have put into what he does and where he's got today.
Shame I couldn't see some of it cos of someone's furry cowboy hat
I would've tapped you on the shoulder to say hi Jude, but I was too busy trying not to faint!
Defo be at the next one, see everyone there!

In reply to Chris D: er..........well.......maybe Lucy didnt think it was so funny! i thought it was a bit cruel actually. however humour is by nature often a bit cruel, and Grimer is very funny, and his Llanberris stuff was hilarious. Maybe he will be rich one day. He's a fabulously gifted writer.
if i were Lucy, and Grimer had said about me "she's just mumbled i take it up the shitter" i'd have stood up, grabbed the microphone, and purred to the audience "in your dreams Grimer. i've got flaxen blonde hair not wool on my head luv"

I'll put my hands up and say I'm sad-I admit it, but by way of an explanation, Jerry's known for being a connoisseur quick motors isn't he?
We got there well early so were playing pool and I wondered what he'd turned up in- 911? Ferrari? Skoda?
Needless to say I was a little disappointed to see a decidedly rep-like Audi (unless its a small corner of the fleet)and ergo I noticed the tax thing (ever since I got fined £360 for parking my car on the road when the tax ran out I tend to notice these things!)
I'll be on the lookout Sunday night, so arrive on a pushbike if you can...
