What's Boiling Your Pi$$ Today?

[Steve 998cc]

Yes the PPE was a scandal, but a drop in the ocean compared with the £350 to £450 billion that was spent in total. There would have been many snouts feeding in that trough, and its us and our children, possibly grandchildren too, that are going to be made to pay for it

Sam is busy rebuilding a Brough Superior that was damaged, almost destroyed in a fire, he is having to remake many parts from scratch.

Sam Lovegrove on Instagram: "Baby it's cold outside, a good time to get welding, swinging hammers, tea and cake by the fire. It is very nearly mid winter, what better time to hide in your shed! #broughsuperior #SS100 #builtnotbought #homemadelogburne

I was wondering what had happened to Sam. I thought he had maybe fallen out with Henry as there was no mention of him on Henry's shows recently, not even an explanation of why he isn't around.

Why didn't he say that on the bleedin' shows so us folks who aren't on instagram would know?! There wasn't even any mention on Henry's Facebook page. Grrrrrr....... etc. etc.

Agree I can't [and won't] get to use any of these things so am non the wiser still

Christmas and all the cunts out there pretending they can afford/enjoy it. I'm hoping for a new year of less tolerance. I want to see Europe grow some balls and retaliate properly against Russia. I want to see all this equality for gender benders scrapped. I want to see all strikers starved back to work. The collapse of the Post Office which will easily be covered by couriers. I want to see rubber boats pitchforked in the channel. I want to see Fishy Rishi and Jeremy Cunt taken out by snipers.

Truly a Man after my own heart....

Well, my new year was completely ruined by some devastating news. Yep, she made it into 2023................

 

[Don the Don]

I have always hated contractors and still do, they never do a proper job first time and can't be relied upon [some folks opinions may differ]
they patch jobs up and within a month the issues always appear at the end of the repair, not just mil but those who rely on council jobs

New year, new housing misery for military families living in mouldy homes

Military families have been hitting out on social media after further complaints about Service Families Accommodation.

Its disgusting, they should be treated as a priority and with preference... but no that is reserved for fucking illegal immigrants!!

 

[Steve 998cc]

It's not only the contractors fault they are allowed to get away with it by the clerk of the works. All goverment contracts are let with the standard of work that is required so all contractors should price accordingly. It is for the clerk of the works to enforce those standards I have thrown/removed contractors from site for poor workmanship, but then some clerk of the works don't have the bottle to face them down.

 

[Sarky B’stard]

What makes you think there's a Clerk of Works? These days (think Grenfell) it's all self certification and the regs are made meaningless by lack of enforcement. The nominal Contract Supervisor is often the first to be bought off.

In the MoD the maintenance contracts are a dodger's delight. I worked inside the system. Shortly before retiring I agreed with the RAF 1* then running the system that it should all be scrapped. It would be better and cheaper to pay everyone a £400 a month housing allowance and have no married Service accommodation in the UK and do away with all the useless bureaucracy and skiving. I couldn't even get a hammering water pump fixed in the week before Christmas one year so replaced it myself and had to fight for reimbursement..... and I wasn't a LCpl.

You can't overcome the unimaginative jobsworths in the Civil Service or the 'sponsorship' of key MPs of all Parties. The dire quartering situation is as old as the modern forces..... pre Victorian. Navy quarters in Pompey and on the Clyde periodically condemned. No careers to be made in it and the hierarchy have mostly got out.

 

[MartytheMartian]

Erm @Sarky B’stard do you mean you were LCol or, as you wrote, LCpl?

I don't know what it's like now but when I was a sprog Married quarters were a feckin' nightmare. I remember my father getting hauled over the coals by his commanding officer because said officers wife took umbrage with the choice of wallpaper my mother had put up in the living room. After that my folks chose to live in rented accomodation until my dad left the RAF.

 

[Steve 998cc]

Just worked it out 25 since I was clerk of works on a contract so guess it's all changed. I'll bow to your up to date knowledge Sarky.

 

[Don the Don]

mention the term MOD and it's a licence to print money for anyone with their snout in the trough,

 

[Don the Don]

Erm @Sarky B’stard do you mean you were LCol or, as you wrote, LCpl?

He said "and I wasn't a LCpl."

If an officer can't get repairs done what chance would a Lance Cpl have

 

[MartytheMartian]

Ah my mistake @Don the Don I read it as and I 'was' an LCpl which gave me pause as, despite his being an international man of mystery I get the impression our Sarky was rather higher up the echelons.
