shmook Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 Until the cupboards break and leave the bolts still there. 13mm spanner sorts that, I used M8 rawlshields and 3 inch bolts. Most things in our house are hanging off those. Over-engineering ftw! Link to post Share on other sites
Hedganian Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 So I ordered a CS95 cut shirt in MTP for workipoos. They sent one size too big. This would just not do. So I sent it back and they don't have my size. Ordered from another website for a 'Grade 1 CS95 MTP shirt' which arrived today. Now, Grade 1 means it's been issued, but not worn. The shirt that arrived was a chinese copy of the PCS MTP shirt - not the CS95 (which I want for Ally reasons). The label clearly states 'Made in China'. The company emailed back with a johnny aged 5 email stating that their stuff is all previous issue.. how hard is it to get a listing correct on a website? Especially as they're saying it's real and it clearly isn't. What size do you want? I've got a S95 cut MTP shirt in 180/104 (RAF badges, worn but good) An S95 pattern windproof MTP smock in 190/96 (wired hood, no badges, looks unworn) One pair of S95 pattern MTP trousers in 80/84/100 (maybe some light wear, but it's hard to tell) One pair S95 pattern MTP trousers in 80/92/108 (issued, worn, got someone's name on the label in marker but not faded or ripped) Let me know if you're interested in any of the above, open to reasonable offers.

Mike_West Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 Power cut in the middle of cooking dinner. FFS. Good that I cook on gas. Anyway, I overslept and I'm stuck at work until 5:30. And I'm terrifically bored. Link to post Share on other sites
Hardcore1-6 Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 What size do you want? I think I've got a S95 cut MTP shirt (and smock, possibly) which I don't need. I can check the size for you if you like? Problem solved by applying NATO stock numbers to the RQMS's email address. He's ordering a load. Link to post Share on other sites
Hedganian Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 Never mind then.But if anyone ELSE might be interested, feel free to let me know before they go on eBay (in a couple of days/when I can be bothered) Link to post Share on other sites
paranoiddroid Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 Can you translate those sizes to imperial for me? The boy needs camo and hates multichav but needs something elite military like for events where he can't just wear his Korean war/early nam kit. Link to post Share on other sites

Mike_West Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 Rubber shoes for electricians. I mean, the product standard for those. I had to send the comments for that one back for corrections TWICE, because the twunt responsible for them completely *fruitcage*ed up his job, going against procedures and even the friendly instructions spelled out on the comment form itself. Also, I want a leather quiver/sheath/holster/whatchamacallit for the ACM Winchester I ordered yesterday, but that would strain my budget dangerously and my flatmate still hasn't given me his part of the rent (nor the 50 quid he borrowed last week).

Pdubyuh Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 What annoys me is when you lend someone some cash and then they say "you know that £10 I owe you well, Dave owes me £10 get it off him..." no i didn't lend it to Dave I lent it to you!!!! Link to post Share on other sites

DrAlexanderTobacco Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 A really good rule of thumb to have is that if they're a friend, any "loan" should be treated as a gift which you might get back. If they're not a friend, invoice the *fruitcage*ers! Link to post Share on other sites
paranoiddroid Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 I'm working by that rule to be honest as I don't mind giving her the money, she's one of my best friends but some testimonials it ###### me off that she's spending money like water and hasn't offered to pay me back.

hitmanNo2 Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 Crash on the m4 today. Traffic crawling at 10 mph. Fair enough. However, 10 mph on the other side of the road to the accident. Back up to 80 70 as soon as we're passed. *fruitcage* rubber neckers. Link to post Share on other sites
paranoiddroid Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 If she is your bezzie, then you should be able to tell her to stop being a *rickroll*. Yeah I know. She just spends it when she gets it and isnt helping herself. She's clearing her proper debt first and I kinda can't begrudge her treating herself with what little she has left from that so im torn.

Lone_Bullet Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 Big project today, I'm working my 12th hour and the end is not even close. Have to be here again in 8 hours. I don't think Ill get much sleep. Ah, the life of a technician... Link to post Share on other sites
Lone_Bullet Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 update: worked 28 hours that weekend with 3 hrs sleep... tiny bit too much. Was incredible grumpy. 2nd day recovering now, or at least trying: for 2 years now they're building around my apartment. Trying to sleep away a headache caused by lack of sleep while the whole block is shaking because of demolition works isn't helping. Gods I HATE living in a city, and my bought house is far from liveable yet. >.< Link to post Share on other sites
paranoiddroid Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Why is it when people have a fight it goes from 'we had a fight' to 'im done trying to talk he can call me' and always end up with the line... 'im scared of my ex....' God I hate dealing with drama especially deployed boyfriend drama. Link to post Share on other sites
Hardcore1-6 Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 Sounds like they're trying to manipulate you dude.Stay away- the best thing you can do is to call the police for her if she's being threatened with violence. If she really is scared it's a job for the courts and restraint orders. Link to post Share on other sites
