    GRATS!!!!!!

    Chuffed for ya mate :)

    I couldn't resist it... I had to phone and check cos my mind was playing tricks...

    What if vetting went wrong? What if they said my merit was 800ish not 100ish...?

    So:

    I thought I'd just say I'd not heard in a while and just wanted to check there was no problems. She was very nice... considering I bet they have been inundated today... and I was extremely polite, apologetic and grateful :)

    Her specific words were...

    "Vetting Passed, Medical Passed, And your merit is one hundred and bleep,

    But your still going through 'the process', I can't tell you more than that."

    LoL So now I am like majorly confused... oh well guess I better just sit tight for now :)

    Thanks a lot guys. Nothing can put me in a bad mood at the moment.

    I'm looking forward to meeting a lot of you on 23rd at the SRD (that includes you too DownMTber :D).

    It's gonna be so sureal for the next while. Doing things in work for the last time, handing work across to others etc. I actually enjoy were I work (the people, not the work), so it'll be with mixed feelings that I hand in my notice.

    Roll on 8 March!!! :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 469 ✭✭DownMTBer


    Thanks, looks like I'll not be getting a call today tho... there's still tomorrow :)

    I know what ya mean about work too. I actually enjoy working where I do, although it can be boring at times I do enjoy the work and I made some good mates here.

    Still... can't wait to hand my notice in though cos that'll mean I'm away to G'Ville! :D

    Carlty well played good sir! Even I know you are a legend on these boards.
    Congrats to everyone and cheers for all the congrats for me! (integra I think from memory our merits and backgrounds are really close so hopefully its not too long for you the vetting big man).
    And I heard someone mention champagne.....reading my mind! (though swap champagne for a crate of cheap, nasty and probably warm beer and thats me!)

    Think I will treat myself with a chippy for dinner.

    Without this board and all the info I think I would have gone mad.

    Roll on the 23 Feb, I am getting nervous already.

    I dont know why but that is one of the funniest things I've read in a while:D
    why don't you go all the way and get a pastie supper, you deserve it;) don't forget you'll have to change your username on here in a few months


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 263 ✭✭PC Inwaiting


    Glad I could amuse you lol. believe me it is a treat for me. Lost 2 stone to get my BMI down to under 30 so I did not have to do that awful assessment.

    great to see so many people from the boards gettin in! And even better to see those who have been tryin for ages get their call.

    Lookin forward to meetin you all and tryin to determine who is who, I wonder if its possible purely from looks?

    well BCGC, I don't think I look much like a squirrel, but I could be wrong. Guessing you will be easy enough to spot? Or is the hair not ginger at all? Oh, I can't wait!!

    Tomorrow night is P to the A to the R to the T to the Y!! :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 67 ✭✭BadCopGingerCop


    Oh it'll be pretty obvious when you see me, unless I have it shaved off tho!

    Considering a tight weave, however I do love my golden locks.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 323 ✭✭squirrel81


    aye, you can't beat a lovely strawberry blonde! my hair is going to be a nightmare to get under a hat, feel a big haircut comin on :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 67 ✭✭BadCopGingerCop


    Im not sure what to be at now then, I mean with reference to checking off items on that list I'll probably buy everything I dont need!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 323 ✭✭squirrel81


    I printed off that list that PSNI kindly provided a while ago, took it to tesco, and ended up coming home with wine, hummus and hair mousse. Hmm. Think I was a bit too wired to think about anything too much. I am going to get a bit at a time though, so Im not left skint at the end of Feb. Anyone planning a wee hol before starting? Would love it, but will have to see how the spondoolies are.

    Aye, it takes about a week or so. I'll only really start believing it on Monday at my SRD!!

    What does Mrs Carlty think? Is she happy about it??
