Loot Winner!

So, last month we announced the winner of the Jack Wolfskin competition. This was a highly sought after Gucci jacket, and part of the terms and conditions was for the winner to provide a picture of themselves in kit, and for them to provide a picture of themselves with the loot once they'd received it. The name was picked at random by our hi-tek name selector and Lee Pollit from Bournemouth was the lucky winner.

In keeping with the "Contact. Wait out." ethos of being 100% gen, and ruthless with the banter, here are the pictures of Mr. Pollit. If you know him, feel free to show your glee at his being a spawny bastard.


Here's Lee wearing his prize in Devon just recently.

Here's Lee in his prime. We're loving the UN dinner plate on his swede. Thanks for participating Lee.

Contact. Wait out. #26. Shirt Sleeve Order.


Contact. Wait out. #26. Shirt Sleeve Order.

It is that time of year again. Shirt sleeves need to be rolled up because summer is on its way. Let me tell you something about our shirts. They have Velcro strips in them which makes it a little awkward to get the sleeves rolled up evenly. God knows why they have Velcro in the sleeves. I heard it was for the wrist protector inserts but I've never seen those things before and am even a little unsure that they even exist.

Anyway, I've pulled all the Velcro out of one of my shirts and now my sleeves roll up nicely.
I just need to do all the other sets of uniform now. Trouble is, that you can get that as soon as the last one has been removed, we'll get issued the wrist protectors.
