    When I’ve finished cooking 3 separate dinners (fussy b@ggers) I might model it for you.

    “Sean, you are not a Hollywood stuntman or a cool LA bank robber and I would not be seen dead with you wearing that!”

    I said this to myself in a Polish accent. Am I weird?

    Work worked, crackpot schemes debunked and hopefully will never appear again, will go and make mini dinner shortly.

    Melted? Latex gimp mask?

    Surely you military types, even the medics, are in cloth, leather and metal when in uniform? A well blancoed Sam Browne, crisply pressed khakis, a beret at a jaunty angle, tightly wrapped puttees, and a pair of boots polished to a mirror shine.

    Unless you've gone and melted your Vicky Cross? That would be careless.

    Oh dear H3, you over estimate the Army.

    Everything is as cheap as - plastic buttons and cap badges, boots that fall apart, uniforms that never, ever fit.... It's all made in China to the lowest budget.


    I have exercise/tour clothes (knackered), working clothes (the trad camo uniform), smart working clothes (trad camo uniform that is all washed and starched and pressed and tailored for when I have to look handsome) and 2s - the things that look like a suit, worn with peaked cap. Lets not talk about 1s or Mess dress here.

    Just melted the stupid plastic button at the top of the new tailored shirt that is the only sodding place anyone looks.

    Re boots - you have leather boots everyone wears that are shiney-ish or the worn out knackered brown suede desert boots I get away with 'cos I'm special that are about 8 years old and the soles are worn out and they look like something from a bin. Like wearing slippers.

    You mean things have changed since the dress of the staff officers in the Great War? I've only just got over the shift to khaki from redcoats. 🙂

    Must still be swagger sticks? Surely?

    If you'd just step this way madam? I have to frisk you for listening devices. Yes. There.

    I thought the badge said M&S Giant and they'd started to put the size label in the outside.

    Certainly is. Quite hard to source realistic toy guns these days but I do my best to tool him up 👍

    Having a look at football again. The home country vs Belgium. I fear a #shitefest, despite the ostensible quality of the stoverij munchers. The Finns look.like a shoite pub team.
