Following the unprecedented success of the Graham Gedge - Man or Horse? article (http://www.ukclimbing.com/articles/page.php?id=124) in which Graham sensationally admits to having toproped every route at Burbage South, which RT regular would you next like to see quizzed and featured in a revealing exclusive and which questions would you especially like to be posed on your behalf?

I demand an interview with John Rushby. I want him to be probed by Mick Ryan. I'd also like him to be interviewed by Alan James about his climbing the major peaks of the Cordillera Blanca in Peru accompanied only by a small gudgeon. I'd be interested to hear his thoughts on the Sloper - Is he really Michael Heseltine's love child? story that is doing the rounds at all the smartest dinner parties this season.

I'd like to see the RSPB asking some serious questions about your owl bothering, personally.
DaveC at Work 26 Jul 2005
In reply to Clauso: If we're being serious I'd say Norrie, if not, then Marc C!
Craig_M 26 Jul 2005
In reply to Ridge:

I think "brighten" is probably the wrong word. There's nothing bright about him.

Or Mick Ryan, interviewed by JCT

.. a prize for the person who can come up with the best title for that one.

In reply to DaveC at Work: i like to second norrie although im not sure if he would or not
Craig_M 26 Jul 2005
In reply to DaveC at Work:

On a serious note, I'd go along with Norrie, or Bob.
 Skyfall 26 Jul 2005
In reply to Craig_M:

Yes, I'd go along with that.

What about Sloper?
Craig_M 26 Jul 2005
In reply to Nao:

What about him?
Clauso 26 Jul 2005
In reply to Clauso:

If I can't have Rushby, then I think that Simon Lee being interviewd by John Cox Mysteriously could be good value.
 Tyler 26 Jul 2005
In reply to Clauso:

TobyA - He must be privy to some decent policial gossip.
Rob Naylor - He knows lots about everything, how does he do it?
tobfk - I think he has officialy climbed on every crag in the world.
Tom News Editor - he must be privy to some decent Sheffield related gossip
DaveC at Work 26 Jul 2005
In reply to Clauso: Well a Norrie interview could be much more interesting if we got JoHNy to do it!
 Tyler 26 Jul 2005
In reply to DaveC at Work:

And who would write it down for Johny?

Phone my agent if you want an interview


phone his care worker if you want Sloper's
Nao 26 Jul 2005
In reply to Tyler:
I think Rob Naylor would be really good.
Clauso 26 Jul 2005
In reply to DaveC at Work:

Yeah, Norrie and JoHNY would be a decent pairing too... Not sure that we'd get to hear much about climbing though? Vaseline, knobs, buggery and arson would probably feature a little too much?

Just tried that. Are you aware that the telephone number you gave me gets answered by a Customer Services Executive Helpdesk Analyst at Mothercare?

 Rubbishy 26 Jul 2005
In reply to Clauso:

sorry, that was my personal shopper, try the other number I gave you

Dear Dave

He makes it up as he goes along, so he does not even have to speak to me.

Norrie

He lives just up the road from me (the care worker that is), I'll have a word tonight.
 JohnBoy 26 Jul 2005
In reply to DaveC at Work:

How about a relay interview. We vote someone and Horse gets to interview them.

Now who's the biggest toproping b@stard on the site?

Failing that Norrie, although I fear the interview would would degenerate into that familiar format of

Dear <Insert interviewer's name>

<Insert slightly off subject statement of fact>

Norrie


-John
In reply to Clauso: Norrie, Al Evans or Sutty would be my nominations.

Yes, getting Sutty going about the IOM would be interesting.

What's his beef with the Isle of Man?
 Wingnut 26 Jul 2005
In reply to Clauso:
Was heavily involved with the climbing/new routing scene there at one stage IIRC - but I'm sure he'll be along soon to correct me in any case.
 Mooncat 26 Jul 2005
In reply to Clauso:

Another vote for Bob Wightman here, I'd like more advice on how to do a full alpine season with only a 12 litre rucsac weighing 4kg.
 Tiggs 26 Jul 2005
In reply to DaveC at Work: I agree, defo MarcC (despite JJJJ's claim to divinity on another thread MarcC is a god!) but he should be interviewed by Crimper with notes taken by Darren Jackson.

Norrie should be interviewed by DougG.

John Rushby should interview Sir Ron Jushby on his Peruvian ascents and search for Gorple.

"I looked down and couldn't believe what I'd just done" - That would be it, very tedious.
In reply to John Rushby:

There would be little point in interviewing you, after all what the f*ck have you ever climbed!

I see the Customer Service training is paying dividends!
Craig_M 26 Jul 2005

I'd complain to the shop manager if I were you.
 Ridge 26 Jul 2005
In reply to the sheep:

Definately agree with hearing from the brittle-kneed space cadet. Or how about Andrew Moorhouse, mountain rescue expert of Harrogate?
Jo Macleod 26 Jul 2005
In reply to Clauso:

Bloody hell I never knew that was on the go. What a great idea!!

I'd like to see Rob Naylor, John Rushby or DougG interviewed.
WillinLA 26 Jul 2005
In reply to Jo Macleod:


I don't know that he posts on here that much, but I'd like to see Al Evans 'on the spot' (in the nicest possible way).

May already have been done, but what about Alan James? How it all started, the Rockfax/CC animosities, why start a forum etc

I've seen enough of Rushby holding court in the Brownswood to last a lifetime

Even after that comment having been off my profile for the last two years you still drag it up. We came to the pub on Sunday to buy you a drink and are told the dragon has you on a tight leash and only allowed out on a Friday night for half of shandy. I even considerd coming up one afternoon to your shop to make it look busy but now you will have to play with yourself.

Oh bugger it, I will come one day, Thursday when you are closed.;-P

A long time ago.......maybe when someone wrote a story about "grubby little dwarves". Maybe Alan will post it. Then there was the Pembroke Rockfax which was the first major Rockfax excursion on to CC hallowed ground.
 Ands 27 Jul 2005
In reply to Clauso:

Not incredibly original but it would have to be Norrie for me. I don't know of any one else who regularly posts to this site who I would more aspire to climb in the footsteps of. With the winter season in Scotland getting shorter and shorter I am not sure that will be possible.

sloper 28 Jul 2005
In reply to Clauso: I vote for Soapy.
Matt Wilson 28 Jul 2005
In reply to Mick Ryan:

And a bloody good rockfax it was too.

My vote is for Al, Sutty or your good self.

But I would love to see [name removed] interviewed, probably by some sort of psychologist would be best...
 sutty 28 Jul 2005
In reply to Matt Wilson:

Why interview me, most of what would be asked is in the threads anyway, just that there are around 3000 of them.;-(
Matt Wilson 28 Jul 2005
In reply to sutty:

Because you're as old as the hills and can tell us all about the days when it was all fields

 Chris Fryer 28 Jul 2005
In reply to Matt Wilson: I think Sutty can remember when it was all ice fields?
 sutty 28 Jul 2005
In reply to Chris Fryer:

You are only about 15 years behind me aren't you? oops, just checked your profile. It is just the hard life you have had.;-P
Clauso 28 Jul 2005
In reply to Chris Fryer:

> I think Sutty can remember when it was all ice fields?

You're almost correct Chris. Sutty was actually discovered in a bog on Lindow Common near Wilmslow, Cheshire along with another body. They managed to revive him but, unfortunately, couldn't do the same for his mate who came to be christened Lindow Pete.

Apparently, Sutty pre-dates the Ice Age. He told the story of how he and Pete had been out for a few meads and chasing of the local wenches. They had a mead or two too many and fell into the bog on the way back home. There he lay for a few thousand years. On revival, his biggest concern seemed to be how much the price of a pint had risen.
 sutty 28 Jul 2005
Clauso 28 Jul 2005
In reply to sutty:

Lol! That profile photo was taken on Carrot Ridge in Connemara, last year.

I very nearly became a bog man myself during our return trip to the car. We had the joy of a bog-trot in darkness, without a torch between us. We each sank up to the waist several times and very nearly missed last orders!
