Hi from a new site sponsor - www.7-62.com - What's a Brit doing here??

[Baldricks-Bullet]

Do or Die for the VRI,

And a bottle of rye.

You're the cheapest mercinaries, west of Berlin!  What about the pension, status, a nice married quarter and a row of shiny medals? I mean rye is even cheaper than Highland malt isn't it?

AY. I want my Zippo

It's been 6 or so days... why is shipping stuff over the ocean is so damn long?

Where are those teleporting transporter thingies and space ships we were promised in all those movies?

Well it's either the Ministry of Fun... keeping you in suspense... so that you feel even better when you get it...

or the Ministry of Misery making the Zippo take its shoes off for security checks and interrogating it for being an alien.

Mr Zippo is happy though... he's been over th Atlantic more times than most Europeans.

It is most likely Ministry of Anal Retention aka Canadian Customs and Border Services.

Words cannot describe how much i dislike them and their policies, which change from agent to agent...

...on the other hand, my nifty Army.ca flask arrived so fast I had to double check the address. It looks as good in person as the photo. Haven't tried it to see if it makes the contents taste even better, maybe I'll save that for the next Army.ca smoker.

Thanks "Baldrick" !

 

[sober_ruski]

Ohhh... came home from a class and... Ministry of Anal Retention decided to finally give me my lighter. Yay!

The reverse side looks bloody awesome!

What did make my heart sink is that Canada We-might-or-might-not-deliver-your-package-properly Post just fraking left the envelope in front of my door! When i picked it up there was a metal on metal clinging sounds ... So i rip the envelope open and... it is the sticky brass plate with a logo that is clinging on the zippo case.... phew.

Now i just need to find a place to buy that special zippo lighter fluid. yay.

PS
Did i mention the custom back side engraving looking awesome?

 

[Baldricks-Bullet]

Glad you got it SR... and that the Ministry of Fun ensured you appreciated it! 

and great to hear you liked the custom engraving...  just so the rest of you know... for an extra $6 we'll do your own one-off design (this is only for one-offs... if you've got a regt badge we don't have then we do the work for free and add it to the logo-library)... all we need is a good black and white design about 400x400 pixels. In this case SR had a color graphic that was v easy to clean.

Best Regards,- Chris

Hiya Chris, thought this link might help you. I'll be ordering a couple of things soon enough but until then and in case any Aussies get onto you this site should give you a good go.

I'll be in touch soon hopefully about one or two of those armoured badges. You'll also, naturally, notice how most of ours are modelled off British hat badges, immitation is the greatest form of flattery they say. Make it a bit easier for you though, all you've got to do is add a boomarang half the time.

Wow!  Hi Hale... bloody hell that's fantastic. Aus is on my hit list as soon as I've finished opening my new danish site soelvhalskaede.dk... The graphics are just perfect. I've done some wholesale to Aus before but not the military and got a little bit wary when one of the customers wrote back saying he wanted my babies.  hmmmm... Thankfully I don't know who you are, so I'm going to have to imagine you're a Bondi Beach Babe... and can now repay that Aus sentiment... I want your babies  (I'll just have to check if thats OK with the wife first).

Cheers you're a star,-  Chris

 

[Baldricks-Bullet]

Hi Hale... just a quick question... do you know the Australian forum: australiandiggers.com ?

I've heard it's closed and therefore haven't entered. But sent a message that went unanswered too. Is there advertising on it?

 

[Trooper Hale]

I think i've been there once but came back here straight away after not being very impressed. I'd guess they'd have advertising on it but again, i cant really remember much about it. All i know is that it didnt seem that great but was different to the way it looks now.
Isnt as good as army.ca  8)

p.s. I want your babies

 

[Baldricks-Bullet]

Hi Hale.... thanks for that.

.... and now we have established that we want each others babies... you'd better turn out to be A. female  and B. the Bondi beach babe of my dreams... and not a fat grease stained truckie who preys in chat rooms!

Best regards,- Chris

 

[Baldricks-Bullet]

Here's another one... Thanks,- T...  Good skills.... a nice big graphic... I hardly had to touch it up at all: (plate measures 1 x 2 inch)

 

[Mike Bobbitt]

Aye, another favourite of mine! Good job once again, I love the level of detail.

Ah yes... but what you can't see in the photo is the little sniper I put in the top right window of the house/churchy thing.  cheers for the comment.

 

[Mike Bobbitt]

Heheh, that's the Church of Evangeline... I used to live just down the road from it!

 

[Harris]

Great detail.  I look forward to seeing the lighters.

 

[Mike Bobbitt]

Lighters... flasks... you're all about the bad habits aren't you Baldrick?

 

[sober_ruski]

I think i grounded off that sparky stone thingy. Is there a spare somewhere hidden on the lighter? A la extra bulb in the Maglite's endcap?

 

[Harris]

Got the lighters the other day.  They look fantastic.  I'm very happy with the detail.  The Top Shot at our Rifle competition will enjoy his I'm sure.  There will definitely be more orders coming.
