In reply to Mick Ryan - UKClimbing.com:
“Are you logged on to Rocktalk?”
“Mmmm.”
“It’s bloody sexist!”
“Rocktalk?”
“No, that bloody DMM essay competition.”
“Wait a minute: I thought you said it was ageist.”
“It was! And now I’ve got my prize, I’ve discovered it’s sexist, too!”
“How do you work that out?”
“It arrived this morning. Where did I put it? I must have put it down somewhere… Anyway, it arrived today. I opened it. Wicked! A pair of new winter mitts, I thought. I was well pleased. A good fit, nice and fleecy. But where’s the other one? It’s not there. So I went onto Rocktalk, to see if anyone else had been sent only half a pair. Have you seen the ‘Claim Your DMM prize thread’?”
“Not recently.”
“Well have a look, and see if anyone else has mentioned mitts.”
“OK… Hang on… mmm, no, can’t see anything about mitts. Something about marbles; something about high balls; someone not saying what it is…”
“EXACTLY! I told you they were bloody sexist! Marbles, balls and someone too embarrassed to say what they’ve got. You know what it is, don’t you? I mean, don’t get me wrong, it’ll be great in winter and I’m very grateful, but … they’ve gone and sent me...
a bloody willy-warmer!”
Many thanks to all involved in the comp at DMM & UKC
