A woolie swim suit I jest not, needs darning though

Ridey lads have you all heard about the new Airsoft Sports Illusrated Swimwear issue starring a certain Helga in pukka woollen gear?

A woolie swim suit I jest not, needs darning though

Test it at home before getting it wet in public, for us if not your own modesty. Once wet those wooly cozzies go totally freestyle. Bits sag, other gape. Thats before the trasparancy factor is introduced.
As pleasing to the eye as you are I cant imagine you want strange eyes on bits reserved for Che.

I think it even deserves a smerk! Or even a snigger?

Ah I remember them well saggy was not the word and for a boy of 5 it was a scary thing to be on the beach with all my cousins (the girls) wearing them
I had wollen trunks that held more water than the titanic

Won a pile of bits from a German seller advertised as ex East German Army(waterbottle,2 belts with buckles and a breadbag)-Early post war German stuff is the same as WW2,the bread bags and belts are similar and the waterbottles are identical but dated post war.

To my great surprise one of the belts was an early brown luftwaffe one dated 1937 with a 1939 dated denazified luftwaffe buckle which has its rare attaching tab dated 1939!!!
Even better the waterbottle is an amazing unissued 1938 dated with all matching makers/dates and the breadbag is also a mint almost unissued WW2 one!!!!!

I nearly cancelled the sale as the seller wouldnt accept Paypal but i persuaded him in the end-WHAT A RESULT-not often things like this happen to me

some old spoons and forks...

A cobbler's last, so I can put some hobnails back in my boots

Well chuffed believe me

I was out for 40 minutes this morning and guess what I get back and find a card from a courier, the good thing is that the depot is just down the road but I rang them and they said that I'd have to wait until the end of the day until the driver got back problem is I've not got anything outstanding so I've no idea what it is ???

So finally I go down there about 5:30 and collect the box and it turns out that I've won a prize from Firesupport as a result of ordering my BAR and the box contains 26,400 .25 BB's about £66 worth so I'll be alright for BB's for a while , (I'll add them to my stock of 33,000 .2s that I bought a couple of months ago )

lucky buggers

Lufty M43 cap and insignia, A-frame bag, bayonet frog - all from Anthony.

1943 German cigarette case. 2x shells for my Kar98

Thanks for the heads up sean, is that from experience you speak ?, I hadn't actually planned on wearing it (though it does fit ) If I were to wear I'm certainly not daft enough to wear it on its own I just saw it, it was very cheap and so I bought it cos it followed on from a daft conversation I had on the phone (you know how it is when someone says you wouldn't dare buy one,well I did ).

Of course its worth a snigger/giggle/smirk, I bought it for that reason, so I don't see why I should hold the monopoly on its entertainment value

It is, the horror is still fresh in my mind. parents can be so cruel.
Why do jumpers shrink and woollen swimwear expand?

More new kit:

rubber K98 bayonet & frog
real K98 bayonet & frog
zelt with poles, bag and pegs
map case
water bottle x 2
butter dish
under garments

I have just received two very nice items; both being 1940s Lee Enfield full-length rifle slips. One is a late style with web strap/sling and bound edges, while the other is an earlier and more economy style (but still the same 'pattern' as the other) with no edging and leather strap/sling. Now all I need are two airsoft LEs!

Best thing is, they were free from my fiancee's father. What a dude.

EDIT: I've just had another look and the 'earlier' one isn't dated 1941 as I had thought last night, I was being my usual dyslexic self and it's actually dated 1914!

I dunno about that, che can mean jumpers stretch well a cardigan for the 4 year old, be another year or two before it fits him again now
