So the ancient man and owner of the worlds most inappropriate sense of humour has finally ticked elysium at swanage. now although he was probably still shaking from the quantity of cider he'd drunk the night before i still think he should have a thread for us all to share our stories about him. or ignore

In reply to tom84:

I heard that when Mark goes to Swanage, the fixed gear quivers in fear and the pegs shrink further back into their placements.

In reply to LJC:


That tickled me!

What's next on the tick list Mark?

In reply to LJC:

i can assure you the pegs don't shrink back into the cracks when he falls on them! :P

In reply to tom84:

Hey, compared to some of us, he's in his prime! Thirty years and more ago, he looked longingly at the Ruckle, then turned away for life's responsibilities. But now he's back, a crazy teenager at heart, mad for it and made for it. How good does it get? More power to his elbow, more (well-earned) cider down his neck.

Mark, you can grow old in body. Sooner or later, we all do (and, believe me, I speak from experience). But never, ever, ever, ever grow old in mind.

So just keep fighting the good fight (safely, well, as safely as can be...)

In reply to tom84:

Ahh, thanks mate, and I love you too You've made me feel all fuzzy and warm inside, not to mention what you've done to my nether regions

In reply to Mick Ward:

Cheers Mick, hopefully catch up soon - Ruckle and/or Square and Compass soon. Btw I still have one of your snapgate krabs.

In reply to tom84:

I didn't go anywhere near the peg Tom, it was a bomber small blue offset

In reply to LJC:

Super Mario, you're a cheeky young bocsac. Have a bit more respect for your elders

In reply to jezb1:

Not sure Jez, promised myself that I would try to get out of the whole ticklist thing and start just to climb and enjoy - but there's a little voice inside that's saying - "what about Ocean Boulevard, it's safe and the gears good, go on you chubby old man, you know you want to"

In reply to Ciderslider:

Well done Mark, I kept telling you that you would be fine.
You'll be fine on OB. Nothing harder than Elysium, just a little bit pumper.

Cheers,

TJB.

In reply to Climber_Bill:

Cheers mate, yep I just need to get on stuff and stop worrying so much

In reply to tom84:

Chiming in with my own personal appreciation for Mark Reed, a handsome devil indeed. I can't vouch for Luca's statement about the Swanage cliffs quivering at his approach, but he certainly makes my cracks quiver and I'd like to 'be-layed' by him. It wouldn't be a Mark appreciation post if I didn't include at least a little dirty humour would it....

Keep crushing ciderslider!

In reply to KP:

bloody hell kp, you might give the old man heart failure!

In reply to KP:

Hey KP, top sleaze Bawdy indeed !

You've almost made an old badger blush, almost

In reply to tom84:

Coeur de lion Thomas !

In reply to Ciderslider:

face like a dead badger

In reply to tom84:

Congratulations on ticking the big E. You'll have to drag me up a few lines someday, if you climb with me at least you can throw the fat old man jibes straight back in my direction!

In reply to tom84:
I'm still suffering two weeks later after my last experience of Mr Reed!! Keep getting flashbacks of a falling PunterWhale, swinging towards me. My hip still looks deformed but at least I can take a full breath in now without passing out.

In reply to charley:

hahaha i heard about this, wrecking ball made of back fat!

In reply to Ciderslider:

What next then Ciderslider? Like pints of cider, you can't stop at one....

Billy Pig? Thunderball?

In reply to The Ivanator:

Mate, definitely need to get together some time soon.

In reply to charley:

Come on Charley, get a grip, it was just a gentle fin slap

In reply to Kevster:

True, especially in the Square and Compass Thunderball was great, I followed Super Mario up it (LJC) I led it's soft twin Jo some time back.

Billy Pigg is a total sandbag ! My mate Charley gave it a great effort, and I tried to follow - all went well I found the jugs and even cut loose (thinking stupidly this is ok) then pulled up and suddenly it was all over no feet and down i went

So not sure yet - I'll maybe have a little drink in the Square and have a think - now there's a plan.

Down there this weekend so maybe a plan will be hatched

In reply to Ciderslider:

mate theres already enough fossils along there- you don't need to add any more!

In reply to tom84:

you cant say that! mark is my life and no one should ever speak to him like that. my heart races and my pulse quickens whenever i see him, i long for his sweaty touch on my bosom......

In reply to tom84:

Disclaimer, I didn't write that - Foote did. I will neither confirm or deny it.
