Re: Tanks alot

Sharp as, it looks like a challenger 1, what is it really? I crewed on chieftain and challenger 1's and if that IS a challenger 1 there are a few items that are not quite right, the side skirts look more like leopard 2 items with my ol' eyes and grotty optics.

WPC's part two.

Hi guys, got my wonderful chillblast pc yesterday and today when I got to check it out, I am told it has to go back to the makers for repair. Not adressing all 6gb of ram and random restarts.

Re: Wonderful New PC's

Yes Gaieus, that bit hurt somewhat, Considering that I have saved for this machine since I bought the last one seven years ago. The total package cost was in the area of £1,200.00. Not to be sneezed at with the way things are. I do not have the time or ability or place to build my own machine and wh...

Re: Wonderful New PC's

Oh dear me pc world does it again. I collected said machine and an argument with the manager. I was told by the junior manager to ask top dog what he could do in exchange for me making more 60 mile round trips than I needed to etc. Top dog treated me like something on his shoe today. Not willing to ...
