So what's the story with the wager lads? Are we all done, or are we still waiting for someone?

BTW - HAZ & Controller, good to hear that you're done. COngrats

Thanks OJ. I think we are just waiting on Kaiser. In fairness the miserable sod will probably end up in the jacks looking for drink with his dodgy eye. I reckon I will be the loser on the push / pull so I have been practising the round, including Dr Mason's babysham!

ah no worries, just some clown did a terrible job on the kitchen floor. Its stupidly uneven with edges stickin out everywere, annoying as you constanly stub your toe on it in the mornings.. So havent paid him and he wont be getting paid either.


Might just pull them all up and put new ones down. :rolleyes:

The only curved tiles I've ever seen is when I'm plastered! Been known to see the coving on ceiling do a few spins too!!

Hey Dub Chick.

I hate to say this but as far as I know the vetting does not start until your local station meets you and signs off the form b to say you are suitable etc and sends it in to the appointments section.

Sounds to me that your Form B could have been sitting in your station all this time - hope I am wrong !!!

No, you're right. You wont hear from HRM until you meet the local sargeant so get it done sharpish.

just waiting on this call,

Passing the Pct was BRILLIANT!
that college is some facility!

Fingers crossed for August

quirkek2

Hi there, any spare seats in here??

Passed the PCT this week but still waiting on the call.. i know a lot of ye are waiting much longer than i am for the call but it kills knowing that it could be any time including after the start date but lets think positive! That's all that will get me through the next few weeks waiting for this call!

Rang HQ after the pct and they said they have no update so i have no idea whether its this famous 'one check outstanding scenario' or whether they've even started my checks or what...

Frustrating .... At least the process is nearly over though..im happy about that. Getting closer and closer to August..hopefully all will work out.

Have you been told your checks are clear yet?

Nope not a word...they just said they'll be in touch as soon as the agency they've outsourced all this stuff to gets back to them. Yer man was sounds now in fairness and he went to check on the status but said they've heard nothing back so far.

Wish i knew what stage they were at at least.....

How bout yourself? Any update at all?

I'm sure you'll get in for August, these "checks" have a habit of getting done pretty quickly when it comes close to the start date and they still have places to fill. Just ask myself or Haz33 about that one


I've to wait 2 weeks for the CMO to review my eyesight report, so hoping to get a pct date before middle of July. Checks are clear since end of April.
I'm really keeping my fingers crossed to get in for August.
Wouldn't be the same starting in November, and the rest of the lads down in t'more getting free pints off Haz :pac:

Haha i must jump onto this 'Free pints from Haz' bandwagon! That good with you Haz??! It's the word on the street ye know..it'd be rude of me not to accept!!

I was reading about your laser eye surgery a while ago alright pvt...have your eyes settled down at this stage? I can imagine its a pain having to wait to do the pct. At least your checks are done though..thats less waiting for you once you have the pct done. if you get through that ok, which im sure you will, then you can walk out of there with your starting date so happy days.

I'm sure you know enough about it at this stage though to know it's not hard so dont be worrying about it anyway. The course is easy enough...you get to walk through it beforehand to familiarise yourself with it and the instrutor follows you around as you're doing it to point you in the right direction.

Thanks ..hopefully i'll be in for August...he said he'd give it special attention as he would to anybody who passed the pct to try to get them in for August. God i hate waiting!!

Yeah, apparantly Haz said in an earlier post a month or so ago that he'd buy everyone from boards who starts in August a pint the first week. Sound man!
Yeah the eye (only got 1 done) has settled down totally now, and has been for the last 4 weeks! Very frustrating knowing that the report is just sitting on a desk waiting to be read alright, but I've waited this long, so I'm sure I can manage another 2 weeks :cool:

We'll all be down in August :cool:

mc-panda

Waiting is horrible lads. But fair play to ye for sticking it out. As the man said though, there's no short cut to anywhere worth going. So continue the fight. Chin up. Chest out. Forward ever. Backnward never.

Are you sure? I thought he said "a pint every week"

I think you're right. Of course with his advanced age, he'll probably claim senility for the fact that he "forgot" he said it :pac::D

Yep, he has deleted his post since, but I had the foresight to print it out, so I can produce it down there if needs be

D22

Hmmmm....still no word here. Im being very restraint and not ringing HRM at all. Last time I rang I was told the checks were being done and I'd hear as soon as they were in so I dont think there's much point.

Off on holidays for a few weeks so hopefully I'll have a nice brown envelope waiting when I come back.

Welcome to all the "newbies" in the waiting room. Leave room for those who arrived first to get out first though :D

I done a small bit better than you on time and weight at PCT so ya might want to jump on a different wagon!! Hate to see you get stung lol :D

Haz33

:DIn light of recent proceedings brought by Haz33 in relation to "FREE DRINK" we must now refrain from discussing the matter. (until someone else offers)
