👌👌

I got ya buddy 👊👊👊

Don’t know if everyone has noticed but there’s been a lot of talk about the old MP cards that used to get posted out with earlier group buys. Mainly thanks to @DodgyDave’s recent “picture perfect award” photo. A few members have requested if they can get one. I have 2 so I’m posting one to my pal @Robertm89 👍

But then this got me wondering what’s happening with this year’s membership cards? Not heard anything so hoping there’s something going on in the back ground?
 

I remember hearing something about maybe a wooden card for last year was a option - hope we get another one this year if anyone can confirm?

@extantsrevenge, @ukade2327 , @Scary Hair , @Masterblaster , @thomue1987, @ksosk , @deckard99 , @airwins

P.S I understand if you don’t wanna give anything away but a reassurance that it’s not been forgotten about?

Thanks in advance 👍

8. Do you order yours direct with manta lab or go through MP?

I always try and join the group but through MP. But if money is a bit tight I have sometimes ordered stuff direct now and again - like when a product comes back in stock that I missed out on and I’ve just been paid.

But I like to stick with MP as it’s great to be in with this community and put a little back into the site. Also in a GB you are guaranteed a copy 👍

Your both spot, gonna need plenty of money for all the planned Manta releases. Hoping Scarface is there next release after Once upon a time in Hollywood. Then there’s Ad Astra and maybe a small chance of Shazam

My bank account is gonna hurt 🤣

Not a downer @Veum, you know I love a good reception pic,

But I swear I’ve seen you post 2 in 1 day mate 🤣

Well said Ann 👍

I think there are a lot of people out there who deserve a little more respect for their hard work! Also giving them a wage that is respectful for all their hard work and dedication 😁

And don’t forget we’re self isolating people! 🤣

Happy Easter fellow Psycho’s

My mother is in a similar situation as you guys partners because she actually works in a hospita

Sorry to hear your mother in law is directly in the danger zone. This outbreak is effecting us all, some more seriously than others. Very brave of her getting up everyday and going into work knowing the risks. Hope she is getting all the proper safety equipment that is needed.

She told me that do to the hospital being under staffed for this virus that the bosses have been asking doctors & nurses to come back out of retirement & she said that they may try & force them to help the doctors with the sick. It’s the same problem that your wife is dealing with

I don’t think it’s fair asking people to do a job they are not trained to do, just shows they must be desperate. Bringing in retired Doctors and nurses is understandably but again due to their age they are at higher risk too.

Breaking bad is fantastic,

It’s been hard not to give any spoilers away! So much left to happen in the last 2 seasons. Let me know when you’ve finished it mate so we can have a proper discussion 😁👍

You have brought back some funny moments tho ....

Think I need to watch it again soon........

You can almost forget we’re social distancing when you’re sat chilling in the back garden, sat in the sun with a nice cold one 🍺 👍

what are your opinions on Puma Speed vs Mountune mate? 🤔

I’m constantly doing PCM updates for bad running faults or to cure a new problem that Ford wants to rectify.
 

I’m not a fan of remaps myself as in previous experience they can put the engine and turbo under too much load. You should be ok tho if you service your car regularly and don’t absolutely rag the arse off it every time you drive. But I have seen turbos blow and engines stars smoking/burning oil. If I was to choose one the Puma speed is the safer option- this is because you can reprogram the pcm back to factory setting - Also if your car need a recall (pcm update) you can override the remap to cure a running issue - but bear in mind you loose the remap

@Veum Your constant daily hauls just amaze me! Your “to watch” pile must be massive.

I was thinking exactly the same thing, especially with you spending so much time on MP 🤣

@Scary Hair Good morning Ann, I hope you’re staying safe in those aisle

Hope you are doing well Ann? My mother in law works in a busy Morrison’s supermarket. Think she’s been finding it very stressful dealing with so many customers. She’s had some bad cases of frustrated customers arguing over certain items and not sticking to the 2m distances. Thinks she’s missing the grand kids too

11 minutes ago, Basil said:

know precisely what your saying and agree, shes not trained for that and they cant legally ask her to do that, complete bullying and probably illegal as well.

my question would be how is she trained to turn people and if she threw her back would they pay her then?

Glad you see it that way too mate.

And that’s also a very good point- it’s very hard work 

12 minutes ago, Basil said:

so if she had to jack i would get free legal advice from citizen advice before she does armed with correct info may make them stop asking, once she stands up if required

 We’re hoping it doesn’t come to that but that’s good thinking and cheers for the advice. Will definitely go there if needs must 👍

15 minutes ago, Basil said:

im ashamed her managers are behaving like this.

one thing i would ask her to do

is ask for what there asking exactly in writing in detail to confirm to it for legal reasons and her personnel reference all on headed note paper and signed by managers concerned.

then watch them back down and shut up and change there tune be my bet.

That’s another good point and Yes I don’t think they have properly thought it through! Some bright spark in a suit that decides how the NHS money get paid out, covering the cracks in the NHS hospital system.

End of the day lots of people struggling with work at these worrying times. I should just be thankful for now we’re both at home getting 80%

hope this isolation stops the peak and things can get back to normal for everyone as soon as possible 

How’s all that for a essay? ☝️ ☝️ ☝️ 

Get all that read @Robertm89 ya lazy bum !  

🤭🤭🤭🤭

😴😴😴😴 🛌 🛌 

🤣🤣🤣🤣

@Basil - please don’t think I mean you - private joke between me n Rob

he says he gets bored halfway through my posts 🤣

@Basil - also sorry I didn’t reply to a few things in the English room. Like I said the last few weeks I worked before closing for self isolation were very stressful and busier than normal. Just couldn’t keep up with the English room and only just replied to things I got tagged in very quickly. 

Since I’ve been off I’ve got a lot of jobs done at home the first week

Feels good to have pressed the reset button 🤣

Trying to make the most of this time I’ve got off now and enjoy it the best I can. Spending more time with the kids and enjoying the simple things. Even started exercising again too- Theres a YouTube channel called Joe wicks which has a new 30 min workout video each day! Even started going for a run every other afternoon!

Just dig my bike out from the shed - first time in 3 years! Gave her a bit of tlc and hope to get out on that later!

But don’t think I’m living a completely new healthy lifestyle- I keep staying up till  1am playing COD online (Xbox) and drinking tequila 🤣

30 minutes ago, Basil said:

home just open ended stay at home till we phone you, that was 2-3 weeks

They said that to me to on my last working day. But thankfully that idea seems to have been ditched 👍

30 minutes ago, Basil said:

its gone mad where she works,

I feel sorry for anyone still working now. Not only are they at risk for not self isolating but are now under more pressure than normal due to the people  who are at home ordering thing online to make their self isolation better 😕

some things should be made to wait.

30 minutes ago, Basil said:

want her at home not in a massive factory even though they are all 2 meters apart

It’s very stressful for those still working. I can relate to that as I only stopped working less than 2 weeks ago. People were still bringing their car in for service and Mots. I was having to disinfect between 6-10 cars before I worked on them. And even then it was just a quick wipe down - but ya just did your best. Always thinking about maybe catching this horrible virus. Didn’t help because some people were bringing the car in for such minor things - people who shouldn’t even been out of there house and in the age danger zone bracket too

30 minutes ago, Basil said:

while the owner just sits at home working safely for him, he a money grabbing so and so, it gets my goat

Sounds familier! Make ya sick doesn’t it mate. All about the money And not thinking about the safety of their staff 👎

30 minutes ago, Basil said:

the cheeky sod has even given them letters saying it is ESSENTIAL as they cannot work from home implying they are 'essential workers' in the letter the way its worded when they are not. not at all. its criminal those letters.

they have done just about everything they can to make sure they are there no matter what. the only thing they have done is shut down the shop at front of building.

to be legal. but thats about it

That really doesn’t sound good mate. Makes ya blood boil! 😡 

My wife is a dental nurse and paid by the NHS (a rubbish wage). They’ve actually said that to get there 80% off the government that she may have to go and work as carers for the Corona victims at the Manchester arena. She’d be taking care of the infected patients and turning them on their beds. We are not happy about this because at the end of the day dental nurses don’t get treated very well especially financially. There’s also a big shortage of them in the industry. Some of the young nurses are being forced to go work there but we’ve made a conscious decision that if that was to happen Her she may have to hand her notice in. This might sound incredibly selfish compared to the mighty brave NHS workers who are risking their lives every day but from our point of view she is not a medically trained nurse, she won’t have the proper training or equipment and we’ve got two young kids that need a mother here. She’s also been told that she’d have to write a Will before carrying out this duty which of course we have to pay for. 

People at the bottom of the payroll are not treated very nicely and its always do as I say, not as I do kind of attitude.

Been trying to mow my lawn, but can’t get enough nice days for the ground to dry.

Was like that at my old house mate. South facing lawn with no sun on the back of garden. I moved into a new house 5 years ago and they’d spent a fair bit on the back garden just before we moved in. Artificial grass is the way forward 🤣 I even got some money for my old lawn mower 😁

Hopefully yours will dry out once the summer finally arrives

You too mate. Like @Basil said we’ve got some great weather here in the UK 🇬🇧 for the next few days ☀️. Gonna chill in the garden and sink a few 🍺

Got a leg of lamb in the fridge for Sunday and cupboard full of chocolate  for my kids🍫.

st had our stay at home order extended through the end of the month.

Me too. Think a lot of people are in the same boat. I heard yesterday from work earliest I’m gonna be back is the 4th May. Just thankful I can be at home safe. Thoughts go out to the people still having to work now, especially the people working in super markets, NHS or any one else coming in contact with the general public.

Wish zavvi had released the white Steelbook as I’d have definitely picked that up by now. The 4k ones are minimum £50 to import to the UK. Will wait for a premium release I think.

Come on Hdzeta- don’t let me down 🤞
