snowtracdave Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Having dutifully renewed my sub to CMV I have , today , received my free(?) gift of a collapsable bucket . Now I know there was a bit of a thread going recently on this subject but I can't remember the conclusions : My question is : Which side of the truck should I hang it ? NB - at the moment I only have a hook in the centre rear but this is not indicative of any indecision on my part or indeed of any inclination to sway from one side to the other ........as it were......I'm just checking to make sure when I've got another hook I get it on the right........er.....I mean correct ....corner :-D :-D :whistle: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Hi Dave. Yes follow the link Mark has posted up :whistle: To be honest, you need to liase with Great War Truck, I am not saying anything but Tim seems to know far to much about this subject :whistle: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great War truck Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 I didnt know that CMV were giving away free canvas buckets. Sounds a bit like they are adopting one of the MVT proposed motions and are trying to attract people to join from the diverse society we live in today. If it is not a personal question, how big is your bucket and what colour is it? To what purpose do you intend to put it, purely decoration, or is it to be a functional bucket? What sort of vehicle do you intend to hang it from? Now, tell me about your childhood and when was the first time that you saw a canvas bucket? :rtfm: Tim (too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodge Deep Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Remember that the first time you'll get it wet it'll dribble a little bit...but don't worry, this is perfectly normal and it'll soon stop :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john wheatley (R.I.P.) Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Glad Dougiebader sent that last message, this was starting to sound like one of the M O's lectures on going ashore in foreign ports :nono: John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, tell me about your childhood and when was the first time that you saw a canvas bucket? :rtfm: Tim (too) Well , um , I'd guess I'd say it's about average but I haven't seen anybody else's to compare . It's ...erm....well...sorry but red.....very very red and quite possibly purely decorative . Functional ? I'm thinking that will probably depend on how desperate I get. I guess I'll be hanging it on the Unimog as it is a) the only greeny I have that's high enough off the ground for it to dangle and b) the towing point is one of the few bits that isn't rotten . My childhood ? How long do you have...... I spent much of my formative years gazing through the school fence watching army trucks passing by on their way to & from Fingringhoe Ranges and when they weren't around yearning the affections of the unattainable Gillian *** (name witheld to protect the innocent) . Of course I've seen pictures of canvas buckets before - i mean we all have haven't we lads ? .......Lads ? But anyway , I haven't actually seen a real one before. ......... Do I need help ? I do don't I ....... erm....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Read through the link above Dave, that should answer all your questions :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 You could hang it from the mirror. My brother has a pic. from the Tennessee manouvers where a 1/2 ton Dodge has one hanging from the mirror... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john wheatley (R.I.P.) Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 As this is a family forum and in view of the previous posts concerning where one likes to expose ones bucket I shouldn't say that hanging from the mirror could possibly mean that one likes to see ones chum coming from behind :whistle: John.

Great War truck Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 That is a very interesting suggestion and something that should be considered. I am advised that in certain communities, that the hanging of a different colour bandanna from different pockets will have the same effect. Just to be on the safe side, i gave up the use of bandannas a while back. In fact as soon as i heard this. Tim (too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woa2 Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Your comment about it being black reminds me of a joke. An Officer's wife is talking to another wife.
