Re: Senior Member's Saloon
I was going to partake but on reading bits of the thread this is far too chummy and fell Pony like for me. So as in real life as the beers good I shall be sat on my own in the corner reading and feeding my dogs pork scratchings, refusing to make eye contact with anyone and getting upset if the bar staff don't serve me my beer in a pint handled jug.

Re: Senior Member's Saloon
i thought it seemed a bit chummy too, not like proper solitary sad fell runners at all are they, they prefer this social thing as opposed to getting dead excited about a nice bit of greenery on the side of a hill

Re: Senior Member's Saloon
Is it ok if I pop my head round the door? I was just going to check whether anyone wanted to buy raffle tickets in aid of the hellfire orgy tonight? First prize is a hand embroidered late victorian gimp mask , and the runner up gets a roasting.

Or simply a zip?

Re: Senior Member's Saloon
This is a late victorian artifact & so uses hooks and eyelets to close as the zip hadn't been invented. While it does not include the ping pong ball thing, we will be auctioning a wooden engraved ball gag hand carved by a now extinct tribe of pygmies from the sahara desert. I understand that it was produced by commission to be compatable with an early victorian gimp mask which was in the possession of the explorer sir henry hardcock who discovered the tribe in 1886. I imagine an early victorian gimp mask should be much the same as design as it's descendants, and therefore would think it would be intercompatible? Perhaps some other experts could shed light from experience?

Hmm, very interesting. Perhaps i should look in my uni's library if theres any extra info they can offer my. If not i could ask a librarian is they can tell me much about Mr Hardcock.

Re: Senior Member's Saloon
Alas, I have just been told by Wheeze, who I understand is something of an expert on such items, that an early victorian gimp mask is a totally different design to a late victorian oned. As during the early victorian period it was fashionable for men to have large mutton chop whiskers there was a fairly generous cut to the gimp mask in order not to crush the whiskers. Meanwhile as during the late victorian period men tended to be increasingly clean shaven, the masks were cut tighter to increase the gimp experience. Therefore a ball gag made for an early victorian gimp mask would not be compatible with a late victorian gimp mask. Apparently however you can do a conversion job, but this would involve defacing an antique piece which woud be rather a shame really.

They did actually. In episode 3, series 4 you will recollect they excavated a BDSM dungeon originally established by Henry the 8th. One of the artifacts they found was an Elizabethan gimp mask probably belonging to a nobleman.

Alas, like so many artifacts, it was lost, possibly stolen, and is probably now resident in the private collection of some middle eastern oil sheik, or american business man??

I see you live in the Black Mountains, why aren't you caving instead of hanging about with fell runners, you have some fantastic caves down there
Dan Yr Ogof - amazing cave once you get past the tourist bit. The green canal great for shrinking the nadgers. (if you have some)

I remember that: it had a looser cut along the bottom so as not to ruin the leather ruff that was fashionable at the time!

Nadgers? Assuming my knowledge of the foreign language that is English is right, no I don't have them... got great t*ts though... ;)
...and I don't do caving, I prefer to be in the light, outside, high up on a hill or mountain, where I belong... :D
