I'll bet that if you and the "lads/ladesses" put together a xmas list, that Santa.TP would be most munificent - am I right chaps?(y)

compared with what you guys do....

Hello TP Santa, I'd like a Paxton NOVI 2200SL Supercharger for a 2008 Mustang GT please...:D

LINKY

well...you never know...lol
 
ho ho-ho!

if only it would fit into 2kg - it would be yours!
 
:plus1:
 
I finally got round to reading this entire thread and I will be getting you a parcel or two of fun together ready for when you have settled again Rob. We can't [mores the pity] do anything about keeping you all safe, but apparently we are pretty good at keeping you clean and smelling sweet :D

Stay safe, all of you, and keep us updated. (y)
 
If anyone's thinking of replacing their 77mm UV filters, please sens us the old ones - even if they're a little bit scuffed...
We go through them at a great rate of knots here and there are three photogrpahers vying for the pitiful few that get sent out from Land Command and Uxbridge...

Also if anyone has a 58mm Hoya or Nikon UV filter lying around unloved and unwanted...likewise...my 50mm f/1.4 actually has dust on it!!!
 
Should be able to get you a few magazines over Rob, the girlfriend works for a media company and is always sending me 2 or 3 at a time through the post, i only ever keep the photography one's and throw the rest, ie GQ and the like :puke:, should also be able to get you some ground coffee over as i work for a well known supermarket chain,and we get it dead cheap, will wait till you post up your new address (y)
 
Hold the Fort - now NOT moving after all - probably, definately - send away!

So that means you'll be shipping out tomorrow then :D

On a serious note. Anything specific that you need/want shipped, as i'll be posting very soon?
 
Just what's been mentioned previously...
I think I'll have enough soap and assorted toiletries to keep me smelling sweet for a decade...
Books, magazines etc always good - duplicates will be farmed-out to the lads in the FOBs where - and I cannot emphasise this enough - conditions can be like the bloody trenches, especially in Winter...
I think someone's sorting me out some sensor swabs and Eclipse fluid - seriously: all donations gratefully recieved...and thanks again...
 
2nd parcel arrived - 4-pack of Imp. Leather, 2x King of Shaves gel, 2x roll-on deoderant, Waitrose coffee...
...and no aerosol - they took it out at the BFPO UK depot...

suspect that could b me - I wasn't sure about aerosols, so got a couple as well - won't do that agen - should have been oral-b heads in there as well - or are they DAC as well?!?

Sorry yes they were - probably the most expensive thing there too!!!

Now I can get the 'woolly-socks' off my teefs a bit more effectively...
 
hee hee
odd thing at post office (only posted on 5th btw)
cost £0
but girl insisted on giving me a receipt!!!
 
they are pre programmed , if they dont do everything they are supposed to then they self destruct !!! , like today , the lass at the PO insisted on knowing what bank my switch card was from , this was despite me telling her i knew it worked at the PO , she wasnt going to do the transaction till i showed her or told her :cautious:

MoD website says No Aerosols (or was is no arsxxxxxs?)
 
A crate* of DVDs on their way - along with a few other things.

Did I see somewhere, possibly this thread, that packs of shreddies are welcome over there? Anyhows... you're getting some.



* = 4 boxes at the last count
 
no post today - there should be a back-log up at bastion by now...

They're probably struggling to cope with all your incoming mail Rob! You'll be able to open a shop....."Arkwrightkady's Open all hours toiletry shack"!
 
No, I think we have it covered for three months at least...cheers!!!

If I find there's something I can't live without I'll let you know...
 
three more packages arrived today:
Two packets of Outdoor Photography magazines (with a PP thrown in for good measure!)
2x D3 Neckstraps - praise the Lord!!!

- thanks to Ingrid and Andy...
 
You're very welcome - hope they make a difference! :)
 
Because I want to use it again when I get back to Germany without having to re-wire it again...lol
I also have two other appliances here with German plugs...not all in use at the same time - coffee grinder (I now have the one I brought with me - though it was lost, but it turned up in my spares box...lol) and espresso-maker for those hard-to-wake-up mornings...

What you should have done was.. get someone from Germany to send you a german 4 way extension then stick a uk plug on the extension. that way all you stuff can plug in at same time...

been there done that :)
 
6 or 7 mags posted to Rob this morning (in 3 envelopes).
Had a pantomine in the PO. Initially the Teller tried to say it was not free postage. Got that sorted out then got a moan about the customs declaration sticker being on the rhs of the envelope when it should be on the left.

In hand!!!
 
OK more stuff just arrived - I now have two adaptor plugs - woot!
Lots of old copies of PP - four bags of coffee, 10 bars of soap, six packs of wet-wipes, lots of DVDs and e-books...dried prunes and apricots and some walnut bits (they got a bit hammered in transit by the look of it...
Also lots of tampons - going to the medics, I think...lol

So thanks Steve and Robyn and 'other person with no return address'...
Please include a note saying who it's from so I can confirm reciept and give thanks as appropriate...
 
You're very welcome Rob.....so, the other two bars of soap from the multipack....you still want them?! :p
 
I managed to fail to copy most of my stuff over so I only got 3 dvds worth, all the best bits are at home too :bang:
