Er...Just Gone Nuts on New Kit !!

[Mr T.]

* New 12l twins
* OMS Bands for above
* New Uwatec Smart Pro computer
* 10 lb V-weight
* Gas-bottle fired DSMB
* BIG Reel
* Some spare fin-straps and ABS clips for mi Quattros.
* £50's worth of dive book (assorted)

So, tomorrow at the Cape (and a 43% mix!) should be a chortle! See ya there guys.

Oh, and Davey bought himself a top suit too, but I'll let him tell you all about that later.

[Lou]

Thought you had twins already, Bren?

And why not the VR3......bloomin' skinflint!?

[Mr T.]

Hey Lou,

Davey's already given me grief for this today!

I do have twins already, but they are out of test (just) and I need cylinders for tommorrow's gig at the Cape and Anglesey and didn't want to get into the situation where I couldn't dive because my twins were in being tested.

This way I get two sets of twins and will never be in that above situation.

The VR3 can wait until I get that far into Trimix that it becomes a necessity.

[Lou]

Flippin' heck, Bren.

I would just have jacked Capenwray, mate!  No wonder Davey gave you grief.

As for the VR3, don't you listen to all the advice to buy what you will grow into straight away?!  Oh, sorry, I forgot, you'll just buy 2 when you need them anyway ;)

Have a good dive tomorrow - I can't go anywhere because my pony regs are in being serviced in time for Anglesey.  ####!

Lou

[Andy Winterburn]

Bren
Have you checked that you have the wieght?
I went back into the shop and returned one which was on top of a box near the suits
OOOOPs

[Davey Willo]

Yeah I did give him grief... he's the only gold plated muppet I know who instead of paying £21 for a test on one bottle buy's a set of twin 12's with bands and MDE manifolds instead.. Oh how the other half live eh!.. Makes me wanna puke it does... my kid has to starve for a month just cos I bought a V-weight (ahem oh yeah and a suit)  :biggrin:

[Steve S]

Hi guys,
how much were the v weights?

[Davey Willo]

Doesn't matter how much Steve I've since found out they are crap... the bolts holes don't line up and they need big chunks cutting out so that they allow the BP to sit properly.... doh!! mines going back..

[Mr T.]

......Where as my V-weight went on nay sweat and is currently screwed down with wing-nuts to the rear of my rig between my cylinders AND needs nothing (no holes cut) doing to it!!   Happy days!

Andy W, yes thanks, you found the one I was originally looking for which we couldn't find and then Brett got me another 10-pounder. Steve S - £20.

[Justin Owen]

I know how ya feel Bren, spent yesterday morning in SDS picking up all my gear - looking forward to my drysuit training on Wednesday night, and using all my own gear for the first time!

The bank managers none too happy I've relieved her of my savings, but i'm as happy as a lad sat in a weezle... Was that too much information?! :nuts:
