Pixie 162 Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 Any of you 'ardnuts got any? Always an interesting thing to find out about people, some are quite strange or funny! Mine are; Clowns, Dying, Maggots/meal worms - Thats my biggest fear anyways, cant even see them on tv without shuddering & in real life... they make me feel like im going to pass out, HORRIBLE little wiggly buggers.

Beefsteak 305 Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 I used to have a thing about hights, I was always fine on my own, the problems occured if I was with anybody, then I'd get rotten collywobbles. It cleared up after a bit of freefall parachuting.!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pixie 162 Posted February 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Something that sends chills down my spine - the smell of germaline, I hated as a kid, I still hate it now! I dread the day if I ever have to use it... I remember it being in a tin as a kid, I think it's in a tube now but it still doesnt make it any better! Yuck Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Compo 10,328 Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Pixie would love our house: I feed the birds on mealworms and have an automaton clown that looks quite terrifying when he twists and turns. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 I have a fear of heights. I thought I'd conquer it by climbing all 284 Scottish mountains over 3,000ft. Finished the last one in 1999 - still scared of heights Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ashley 288 Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 there's a word for that compo, (climbing those peaks) McCloud? Mckinsey? or is it Monroe? (after the bloke who first mapped them) my own "cringeworthy" was fire lighters, not the "square waxed brown card filled with waxed straw" but the white like polystrene (but hard) ones, think fear of heights quite a normal thing? unless a red indian, lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 The're the Monroes Ash. And those firelighters were Naptholine not polystyrene !! They didn't taste nice either (But that's another story) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 The term for doing the round is "Munro Bagging", the term for compleating (sic) the round is "Munroist". I am Munroist No.2040 in the compleators list. The term 'Munro' comes from the name of the first person to chart all the peaks over 3,00ft with the proviso that there is at least 330ft of re-ascent between tops. Munro himself climbed all but one of those peaks; the one he named "Inaccessible Pinnacle" now abbreviated to the "Inn Pin" by most folk. Not being a good rock climber, I elected to have an experienced guide for this near inaccessible peak. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 At 1min 20secs the video zooms into what is know as the "Stone Chute" on Sgurr Alasdair; these days it is frowned upon to run down this several hundred feet of loose scree because of erosion but in my day it was great fun to crash down it at full pelt.

NewBasfordlad 3,599 Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 ^^^^^^^^^^Did like the one reported today though. One of the stupid beggers jumped out in front of someone and got himself a Glasgow kiss, bust his nose apparently. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
