Latest update from Tommo!

Survived an ambush, but a bit too busy to make fun of BigAl right now!

I did a bit of editing to remove part of what he wrote me but I don't think he will mind me posting the remainder of the email he sent me and I think everyone needs to know is safe and alive.



Hi Bob,
I'm fine and life in Baghdad is changing all the time. My driver was Shot 3 times by Insurgents and suffered some pretty bad injuries. I escaped , 'Gods knows how' when i had to run around and push him into my seat so i could drive the car out the killing zone. He is stable and that's the main thing!

My snow trac never turned up due to big problems with my brother etc, so I'm pissed of with that and just want the thing delivered to my home address.

I will join in with the forums mate, but at the moment I'm busy during the day and mission planning during the evenings etc. When time allows i'll get back to you all and take the piss out of Al again, promise!!
Take care,
Tommo

Good news indeed! Has he said how much longer he is in Iraq?

Tommo is a private contractor so he is there as long as he wants to be. He goes back and forth between England and Iraq periodically. But most of his time is in Iraq working as a private security consultant/escort.

BigAl I dont know wether you should feel good that Tommo was thinking about you or run somewhere and hide?

LOL
It has been brought to my attention, that in the language of Farsi, the slang term "BigAl" roughly translates to: "Dead Man Walking" however it has also been translated in the colloquial to actually mean: "Large man digging a broken motorized fiberglass bathtub out of a snowdrift" :whistle:

Ok ,
I been sittin here thinkin about what Tomma said about me . Now I am on my 2nd can of "Whup Ass ":drink: <---- (American for WHUP ASS) and I got a whole bunch of pea back in me .
I just don't think I am going to take that kinda "potty mouth talk" any more .Besides I got 4 more cans of unopened WHUP ASS to back me up .
:drink: :drink: :drink: :drink:
So here's the deal . I ain't quittin my "bad mouthin" of you "low life" Snot Trac owners :moon: . You can threaten me if you want ,but I am drawing a "line in the sand and standin firm" ,though somewhat wobbly and things keep spinning around, after 6 cans of whup ass .

So Tommo, That was kinda "big talk" from a "one eyed fat man " . Gee ...I hope you really don't have one eye or I am going to feel terrible saying that but it is a really "cool saying" and I been dying for the right time to use it . Again I am also sorry about the "fat thing" but it kinda goes with the "one eye thing" .
Yep , I am "throwing down the Gauntlet" . I don't know what a "Gauntlet" is either ,but if I had one ,I'm throwing it somewhere .
So what the hell was I talking about anyway:confused: . Oh yea ... "Throwing the Gauntlet at a one eyed fat man" who drives a Snow Trac .

Anyway ,I dare you to show up at my door and say those things to my face . After your done we can have a can of whup ass and talk about how Bob S. sent you that/this fake post and signed my name to it !!! HaHa

Seriously my friend , You be careful over there .

I wondered why we hadn't heard from Tommo lately. I am very relieved to hear he is ok and hope his mate goes on all right too. What is the problem with the Snow trac, can I help - perhaps fetch it for him?

Not really sure as he didn't go into any real detail but it sounded like he is going to kick his brother in the arse (proper English for ass) when he gets back to England. So I am reading between the lines, but I suspect that his brother was supposed to pick up the Snow Trac and take it to Tommo's house and has failed to do that. But honestly I don't know. I'm sure he will appreciate your offer and I will send him an email, and I will include your email address so he can contact you if he would like to persue your offer.

I have still got the flatbed trailer that I fetched mine on as the big norsebox is not operational yet. I am sure something could be arranged as transporting these things is not always easy unless one has a largish trailer. I had to buy a flatbed trailer especially for the snowtrac as it would not fit on my recovery one, they are just too wide. Once the norsebox is up and running I shall probably sell the flatbed (new - used twice, still under guarantee) as I will no longer need it and the ramps are a bit too heavy for me!

Anita, I sent Tommo your email address so if he wants to follow up with you he can contact you directly. From the sounds of his schedule, it may be a couple days before he even reads my email so don't expect a quick reply form him!

I sounds almost as dangerous as driving around in Miami! Call me a wussie, but there is no way I could ever handle a job like that. I hope Tommo takes care of himself, or better yet, that he is able to come home soon.

Anita, I just got a surprise and that was a reply from Tommo regarding your offer to help. I certainly didn't expect such a quick reply so I must have caught him on the computer at a slow time (and he doesn't seem to actually have slow times based on the communications).

It sounds like he will probably get this resolved, but he now has your email if his brother proves to be unreliable!
Bob,

Thanks for the info mate, i'll keep hold of her email address and see what my brother has done about getting the trac down to me. I have a load of his tool (Roofer) in my Iso (Ships) container and he was supposed to drop off the snow trac and take away his stuff and then put the trac in to the container! Oh well, i'll just have to keep badgering him i suppose!!

:tiphat: :applause: Thanks to you all for your concerns and thoughts! I am doing well and will be here in Baghdad until the 2nd week of June, when i go to leave for another 3 weeks.

Life in Baghdad is complicated to say the least! My driver is off with a broken arm, due to the bullets and a hole in his ear where the bullet glanced of the side of his head. I wont see him for a while until he has recovered.

My brother was supposed to have delivered the snow trac for when i returned home. He was supposed to take his kit away that was in my garage to make way for the snow trac. Its new home is going to be a ships container that i have, this will be a good storage area once the restoration is under way! if i ever get back from this location that is!!

I will try and join in again with the joys of the snow trac forum, but i am busy most of the time and can only sit and play at the computer for limited amount of time, my job has changed a little over the last month.

I do miss the banter and piss taking with the likes of Al, Mith, Ops, Bob Snow queen and all the others that join in! Sorry if i have not listed your name etc, poor memory!

I will send the odd photo of some American and Brit helo's, Tanks and all the other crap that goes with the job!!

Take care all and lets see some pictures of you guys and girls! Ive seen Snow queen, No Bob, Al Mith, Snow Ops?

Later,

Tommo

He can have my flatbed trailer, bought for the Snowtrac, the ramps are far too heavy for me and now I have the Norsebox, the trailer is surplus to requirements! New, still under guarantee and only used twice!

Well if it isnt Tommo my good man! Glad yer doing well!

If your gunna put it in a ship container make sure you drill some holes for ventilation, otherwise the condensation will make it as rusty as my spoken German!

Send lots of pics, tanks, guns, people, some of us dont get out much y'know! :yum: I think Al fancies you so maybe you could pose a bit for him, he doesnt stop going on about your looks, maybe get some short-shorts on for him?
