Thanks for that mate, any dramas I will PM you.
no worries, i think Brentacre are the broker, ideally need to know who the underwriter is, it normally says it on your policy documents/ cert?

most Autoglass branches are open on a Sunday, i know we are because that's where i am now . You could probably get it sorted today

probably why most barracks are taken down to a shell by hand before the machines get bought in these days saves any such "explosive incidents"

Had i known i was getting med discharged when I was last up catterick or aldershot, i would have seriously taken advantage and would be packing a nice home stash as we speak. Shame

Worst bit is you will keep finding random bits of glass for time to come yet! Where abouts in Blackpool is it you live? Roughly? Central? South Shore?

What time they open till? Can they sort everything or do i need to get on to my insurer?

Yeah they are the broker. I have to go pick the car up to move it from the Mrs sisters work garage. Got to go park it at the back of the Mrs mums house tonight which is a better area so it should be safe. While doing that I will get my docks out and get on to my insurer. Should of done it straight away yesterday and find out where I stand but was too pissed off to think sensibly, just wanted the car gone and safe.

Warren, at least you have a nice collection of breathing gear, respirator, axe, durex, rubber gloves and a large tub of Vasaline lol.


Rick, i live south shore mate.

im annoyed that the MoD has dared to issue a new camo pattern. Makes all mine obsolete and worth less now

its great on ebay though, anything black you can put on ebay as "as used by SAS" etc even if its also issued to RMP,Mod plod, MGS, RN etc

You active reserve then carlos?? Im reserve by name and title and supposedly supposed to do my 40 days or whatever but havent done anything this year. They are stuck with me for another 2 years i think

HUGE HUGE THANK YOU TO LHD220Turbo

Thanks to this fantastic gent I now have some one coming round today to fit a piece of perspex in the door! Which is perfect as I can then find out Monday if my insurance is effected by using Autoglass or not.

Really appreciate you calling me LHD220Turbo.

I am active mate yeah. I am a Tank transporter by trade and affiliated with a squadron down south. Its part of my contract for a civi firm, a hard one to explain like but I have a contract with a civi firm and also the Army but never in any way paid by the MoD.
Sponsored Reserve is the correct term. Or Sponsored Retard to some

Sounds perfectly logical to me mate. You know who did it, so at some point in the future once your missus has moved away, if the little scrote hasn't already been wiped out then you can pay him a visit.

Yeah we get military benefits when deployed. My civi firm don't give a shit mate. I got IED'd in my wagon, after tour I showed the MD pictures of the wagon and he was surprised I survived and that was it. No questions asking if I was ok so was left to deal on my own after tour. On tour wasn't to bad as 13 of us got blown up so we had a bit of banter over it and kept each other on the go.

Its a piece of perspex going in so if not I will make sure it is hoovered proper on Monday when the glass goes in.

Perspex in as they had no glass. A window is getting delivered tomorrow morning at 6am so tonight leave the car at the Mrs mums house.

Thanks again for helping me out and sorting this for me mate!

Also looking on my insurance docs I have protected no claims in case this effects my insurance. Find out soon enough.

Glad we were able to come out today and sort it for you. At least the perspex looks like glass and keeps the weather out.

lets just hope the little fucker who done it gets his comeuppance one day!

Mat, last night the Mrs was shattered but would not go up stairs in case I went out and had a pop at them (had a few pints so felt brave lol)
Then earlier today when we left to take my car to her mums (much better area) one of the little cunts was sat on a high brick wall smirking at me and tapping a metal bar on the wall as I drove by. Was expecting the house to be done over when we got back.
When she moves and I build up the minerals you will be first to know rsmat!


LHD220Turbo, said it a few times now but thanks alot mate! i was starting to flap a bit over getting it sorted. Taking the car to the center tomorrow to get it done at 9. Bloke that did the perspex made me laugh "my ex was the same colour as your car!" Sound bloke as well and great service.
Even cleaned all the glass from out the whole car as I didn't bother my arse as I was fuming.

Also I( can't add reputation to you, I must spread it around first. Have I added rep before?

i agree with matts principals on this. but its your choice if you dont want trouble or dont want to get heavy with the cowards, cos thats what they are. Not met a genuine "hard" CHAV or delinquent youth yet.

Window now done so happy days. Lesson learnt not to leave things on display!

I'm kind of liking the idea of once moved throwing petrol over them.

Also, any one need an iPod cable as i no longer have use for mine

GREAT NEWS!

Got home from working away and work have decided to take a days holiday off me for the monday my window was fixed. Worst bit is I was on standby so not actually working.

Bunch of tossers! Fingers crossed I can get a job in Sierra Leone, find a decent well paid job or win the lotto so I can get the hell out of there.
