Loose Posted April 28, 2012 Author Share Posted April 28, 2012 (edited) Loosely - There you go again, I post and you reply immediately afterwards, what does that tell everyone Well I don't know Rhodesy, is there a rule on these things? What happened the last time you asked this question? oh yes, I replied and caught you out with a screenshot pouncing to view it within two minutes. Now what does that tell everyone eh? I'll tell you what everyone is telling from your latest exchange is that you are trying (and failing miserably btw) to defend the indefensible, you must be ashamed of yourself and your colleagues Rhodesy. Tell us all Rhodesy, whilst you're on why it costs the M.O.D £800 to send a pair of £44 boots from Oxford to N. Ireland? Now surely thats indefensible Rhodesy, tell us all just how that is possible without admitting total incompetence please.

Rhodes Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Loosely – Why are you persisting with this nonsense, it’s only because I work for the MoD isn’t it, if I worked elsewhere, or was unemployed, you wouldn’t have even started this thread would you, be honest.

You may call it nonsense Rhodesy but I feel that the rest of us poor taxpayers would like to know how a Government Ministry during this period of double dip recession and cuts to public services can feel that it can actually budget to be spend more than £30 billion over and above it's own budget? Maybe it's "nonsense" to you but some of us may feel that we deserve a bit of accountability not smug ignorance. I'd have thought that if you weren't ashamed of being a member of said organisation you would at least attempt to help us understand just how or even why that is possible but of course I totally understand why you would want to hide under your rock. Here's that simple question for you again:- how can it possibly cost the M.O.D £800 to send a pair of £44 boots from Oxford to N. Ireland? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This does seem to be a bee in your bonnet and yet as evidenced on the England Manager thread you can reply to someone 14 minutes after they've posted and it then is not an issue for you. Ho hum. So moving on lets have a go at this one again and see if you have anything to say for yourself other then the above piffle!

Rhodes Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Loosely - Like I said if I didn't work for the MoD it wouldn't have even entered your head to start this witch hunt against them would you. Besides it's unfair as whenever I hold you to account and ask, for example, why you suddenly moved from idyllic Norfolk, where I thought you were blissfully happy, my posts aren't published, funny that!

Rhodesy what is your problem? If you're not interested in the subject then don't enter comments on it, there's no obligation for you to get involved. But you started posting on here but now can't seem to find it within you to answer a couple of points. As for holding me to account over where I live thats an odd one because I didn't know it mattered or was any business of yours. Why your posts aren't published is down to you I'm afraid because this restriction has been placed on you due to your behaviour not mine. If I told you what I was doing and where I was living you'd only accuse me of acting the big I am wouldn't you? You won't like the answer I'm afraid. Why don't you pm me about it? So how about it? Do you think the M.O.D should be answerable over some of these issues? Could it be functioning better to the benefit of taxpayers? If the answer is no then just say so and why but if you can't then just leave it to those of us who want to comment on this farce of monumental proportions that shoots itself in the foot daily.

Rhodes Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Loosely – You wouldn’t be out of place in the House of Commons and I applaud your evasiveness however all I was asking was why you suddenly left idyllic Norfolk, where I was under the impression you were blissfully happy, in order to move elsewhere, presumably back to Kent, you say it’s none of my business but I’m just interested that’s all and we’re all friends on here aren’t we. As for your question, I think as I currently work for the MoD I’m not really in a position to give an opinion one way or another, I don’t think it would be appropriate do you. I’m sure if you still worked at Nestle you wouldn’t appreciate me asking about the boycott of breast milk substitutes for example which led to many health problems and some deaths among infants in less economically developed countries or the company’s aggressive marketing of baby foods as well as a misleading and dishonest advertisement campaign, tut, tut!

Crikey Rhodesy, you do know how to take a subject off topic I'll give you that but if you can't comment then what are you doing here in the first place! They don't rely on you for brains at the M.O.D do they? Talk about a Brain Drain. Keep guessing about where I live, it's fun seeing you squirm and I've got you on the hook now haven't I? I can tell you now, you won't guess correctly, you're restricted by your little village in London mentality! Anyway, Rhodesy can't help us, can anyone else guess at why it costs the MOD £800 to send a pair of £44 boots from Oxford to N.Ireland? Has anyone else apart from Rhodesy got a crush on Ursula Brennan??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missunderstood Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 To save Rhodes any embarrassment, the rather generous MOD sent the boots to Northern Ireland from Bicester by private courier at a cost to the taxpayer of £714.18p. Why the MOD didnt use the government owned Royal Mail is anyone's guess, as it would have saved a sum in the region of £700. I would be amazed if the courier didnt take the boots to the nearest post-office and make a handsome £700 for about ten minutes work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
