HWDC Event 1 - Gosport Chain Stitch Massacre

[GingerMagician]

@swiss-jeansfreak:

To sustain G's power, I'll bring some Swiss chocolate to the CSM
Hope this will help?

Make it the dark stuff

As an aside, I feel for Giles in this situation.  Just want him, Paula and the rest of the IH crew to know that I'm psyched about meeting everyone on Saturday, regardless of whether the MBBs arrive on schedule

[Megatron1505]

Whatever happens, we're going to have a fun meet up, some beers and some laughs, it will be cool.

[Giles]

Now to see if I can get hold of them….

Goodluck! Can't imagine you taking No for an answer considering they're so close.

[Giles]

Just got off the phone with customer services (sorry, diservices) who told me that the shipment would arrive on Tuesday and that they could not get in touch with Stanstead and I could not go and pick it up.

Left VM for my rep and emailed him and his boss…..

[SimonQ.]

havnt you payed for express or something like that? i though ups and stuff (yeah, you used TNT or FedEx now), will give you money back if they don´t deliver on time and there is nothing like the third world war going on.

just curious.. sure, does not give you the jeans but maybe a big amount of money back.

[Giles]

It is TNT Express, yes I paid double to have them shipped fast.  It looks like another shipment I had picked up on the same day (IHSH-80's etc) but did not ship Express will arrive at the same time as the MBB's - go figure.

As I keep on saying to TNT, I don't give a feck about the money, I just need the feckin jeans here before 1PM tomorrow….

[Beatle]

very much looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow…Already put patches on my 21oz Busters in hopes of being able to fix them...that and finding out how skilled Gav is with the Union ...going to be fun !

[Megatron1505]

Gav knows sod all about the Union Special, but I build bits for missiles and planes for a living, so it can't be too hard…....right........guys?.........help me out here  :-\

[Beatle]

well, if you fail there's always Tommy to the rescue…

which reminds me / Happy Birthday Hobbitron !!!

[Giles]

Paula is on the phone with "Special Services", who's first response was to tell her to call customer services….Anyone any good at breaking Gordian Knots.......?

[Giles]

"Special Services" just called.  The Stansted depot is open for a couple of hours at 18:00 tonight to clear flights.  They will call then and see if I can drive up there to get the cartons…......I'm sort of 50:50 about seeing these things before Tuesday now......

[CLJ]

Almost sounds like a Top Gear challenge. Who can ship faster, the TNT van man or Giles in the new Land Rover…? The most intense denim delivery challenge IN THE WORLD.

[Megatron1505]

Trying to hurry Pam and Tom out the door so we can get to you before 18:00…..not being very successful so far. She's currently mopping the kitchen, got to be tidy incase we get broken in to while we're away I guess  :-\

[bagley920]

I'm gonna guess that TNT is gonna lose some business after this weekend

[Finn666]

shit is thrilling to the max!

[Seul]

@CLJ:

The most intense denim delivery challenge IN THE WORLD.

[FurattoHeddo]

Keeping fingers crossed…

@CLJ:

The most heavy weight denim delivery challenge IN THE WORLD.

(couldn't resist). So much tension.

[tatmantall]

I have a funny feeling when this is all said and done there will be no rush to produce the MBB anytime soon. I imagine a few (giles, paula, mega,h) are being plagued with nightmares about this denim at the moment…we appreciate all the efforts nonetheless
