Get in the mo…oooooh, me hips gone…sh pit.

You sure it’s not an outdoor bingo night? ( bloke bottom left is DEFINITELY on a list).

Oops

It’s half past 5 on a bank holiday Sunday. I’ll be severely disappointed if he isn’t.

Coming from KCG, this is pretty devastating.

Two different questions here, mind. The answer to both being, depends where I am

I think they just got fed up with hockling on each other whenever they spoke.

I agree I think it’s because of WW2, and a certain failed artist’s activities, making it unusual that a Germanic speaking area didn’t end up , at least, Austrian.

Don’t know about you @Christmas Tree , but I’ve never seen a prettier Toolstation than the one in Bourton-on-the-water. It’s been there since 1998 too! Magnificent

Aye, trey were basically in tweeds and wool jumpers.

Mallory and Irvine had oxygen on their expedition, I think. Interesting article here about the discovery of Irvine’s boot,(and foot), also makes mention that Irvine was “oxygen officer” of the trip. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/adventure/article/sandy-irvine-body-found-everest

Messner was an absolute beast in his prime. He basically tore up the rule book and set the standards for everything that followed him. I always forget he’s Italian. His name, hearing him speak with a heavy Germanic accent, but he’s from South Tyrol, a German speaking region of the Italian alps.

Cobblestones about 3ft away from you when you took this pic on the South Embankment. Most impressive thing you’ve seen in Dartmouth so far. Laid in 1973. Magnificent

He was leader of the 1975 expedition, didn’t get to the top himself until 1985, when he was 50. That was the record for oldest summiteer at the time, but some lad who was 55 took it the summer.

Aye 1975. Doug Scott and Dougal Haston. English and Sweaty.

Ooh, oooh! My favourite quiz “bastard” question is.… Who was the first English climber to stand in the summit of Everest, and when?

Without question my favourite part of Dartmouth is this…

I can think of one sure way to shut that Connolly woman up…

No mate. Not that keen on bagpipes.

Is that right Howman-San?

At least it wasn’t somewhere really exotic and forrin like…ooooh… Hong fucking Kong or something.

Gateshead?

Tell you what mind, if a few of these tubby fucks started offing themselves in The Name of Tommy R, like their Islamic brethren, I’d take a few collateral losses if it meant fewer of the porkers
