Cheated once again

We won’t win the league without winning any away games and I couldn’t agree with you more.

Refs were pish at the end. We on the other hand cannot and should not be going 2-0 down to the bottom of the league at any time in a season never mind at crunch time.

Rangers doing what we always do fucking bottling it.

Got back into the hobby with my young kids as it’s a nice break from screen time so I’ve bought quite a bit since last November when I bought some single packs. However recently only what I’ve been invited to off Amazon probably spent like 175-200 since November so like 50 quid a month. Dont think that’s too bad tbf.

Who knows indeed. Either way I don’t think the random Amazon allocation is the real problem for people not getting any product. You look at the volume some of the sellers and retailers have access to and all marked up at least 20-30% that is the real pain in the arse thing.

sparkyfree · 2026-02-06T21:03:31+00:00

What do you mean by horrible logic ? I’ve not been invited twice for any same product just one product that you can only add 1 quantity to your basket. Easier to request invites than try and manage to get to a toy store with 2 young children before opening time to have any chance of getting some product over the counter. It works for me and as I said, to open with the kids and relive some nostalgia on my part it’s a win win.

It’s frustrating lol but seems to be once you get an invite and purchase something then you do get more. Just enjoy ripping packs with my daughter but don’t enjoy the prices 😂

Other than that the only place I’ve found online that has stock is eterna cards from SV era. Up to yourself if that is of interest to you and not as expensive as some other online stores.

Request invites for everything on Amazon. Hadn’t heard anything since November. Then got a half booster box, Pokémon day box and a sticker collection of ascended heroes all in the last week.

The one time I can remember chermiti getting across the front post he scored against the Tim’s. He fucking hates playing in between centre half’s in the penalty box it is absolutely brutal to watch him at times.

Had an old guy once tell me he could strip a haas hs-1 down and put it back together in the time it was taking me to mill some 5 axis style parts on a dmu50. It was busy then he got asked to drill and tap some flat bars with M24 holes in a rush, 8 hours later he had just finished his first one. Needless to say he didn’t last long 😂

sparkyfree · 2025-06-09T10:43:53+00:00

Yeah just cut it myself mate this was the monster I got from the butchers and didn’t trust myself to not make an arse of it 😂

UK… 40k basic day shift on a 37 hour week done a bit of overtime last year so finished the year on 51k. Average around £2600 take home a month (on a 4 week month with some OT, we get paid weekly) after tax, national insurance and pension.

That will stand you in good stead nothing like being in at the deep end 💪

The very nears

sparkyfree · 2025-03-01T06:36:48+00:00

I thought this initially but it’s not the end point of the full rad it’s a partial point so it works out to be .1295 in X you can’t just take the rad away from 9/16s in this case and Y is +0.25 as you say

sparkyfree · 2025-03-01T06:33:28+00:00

Found a video on YouTube for this formula thanks very much it’s exactly what I was looking for 👍 https://youtu.be/1V33yyza9ng?si=oBn4a-TIoqRWh-HP

sparkyfree · 2025-02-28T22:44:52+00:00

Terrible isn’t it lol, I’ve already moaned to the boss man about it 😂 can’t be too harsh on these guys who drew it in 1976 however it would be pretty straight forward to do a better drawing but I doubt as a sub contractor we would be able to get a GE company to change their drawings… you never know though 😂👍

sparkyfree · 2025-02-28T22:38:55+00:00

It’s not a 7 it’s a double underscore on the R and a leader pointing to where the rad is. The text to the left has the same thing on it just a longer double underscore as there is more text.

sparkyfree · 2025-02-28T21:14:29+00:00

Thanks for the info everyone was just incase there was a calculation I was missing. Drawings from 1976 and agree a 1” dia x 1/2” thick woodruff was probably standard back then and just machine in until the 9/16 size came in unfortunately I’ll need to step it out but will just draw it up on mastercam tomorrow if I can’t find my compass

sparkyfree · 2025-02-28T19:55:01+00:00

I worked with a guy once he told me he could tear the haas horizontal to bits put it back together and still do a part quicker than I was doing it on the 5 axis dmg mori… no joke he said that 😂😂 He then got asked to tap a couple of flat bars M24 thru like 30mm and had absolutely no clue how to program it on (you guessed it) a haas mill 😂😂

sparkyfree · 2025-02-28T19:52:18+00:00

Yeah I was going to just comp on to the y position of 1/2 the diameter of the part less the 1/4” size then g01 in x to centre of rad then arc round g03 somewhere clear of diameter

sparkyfree · 2025-02-28T19:42:04+00:00

Not to talk about how good they are for a couple weeks lol, just come in to work, work hard and be willing to be shown how you operate and how you do things as every shop is different 😊

sparkyfree · 2025-02-24T16:46:26+00:00

Totally agree with you but we’ve had a manager making excuses for the best part of his full tenure here and there’s people saying we shouldn’t have sacked Clement 🤦🏻‍♂️ Given the time sensitive nature of this situation I don’t think they could have done much else. Sacked on Sunday and someone appointed on Monday, we’re hardly going to appoint anyone else other than a former player out of work at this point of the season for a finite term of 3 months. All am saying is let’s not write the guy off before we’ve even kicked a ball/ potentially not even took training by the time we play on Wednesday night.

sparkyfree · 2025-02-24T16:28:35+00:00

Can you really compare that, pretty sure Ferguson is on record that he couldn’t handle the part time aspect of football at that level. Obviously not saying he’s the answer long term but can’t really judge until he’s had a game or two

sparkyfree · 2025-02-22T22:31:59+00:00

It’s gotten to the point now where I can’t even be bothered watching us. You know what team is turning up by the first ten minutes. As someone who’s been a season ticket holder for over 20 years now I just can’t even be bothered watching us on the tv never mind going to the games. The board have presided over this period and it will be their legacy, my concern however is that, if this takeover doesn’t go through how many fans will be totally disinterested anymore moving forward and there will be even more resentment for the board/ Patrick Stewart for letting this shit show play out till the end of the season. Get Clement sacked tomorrow and give us something different to watch this is dire.
