WW2 huh that so cool.
Yeah it's really been used too.
Lol, But ya I had to use it once because this cotton factory set on fire near my home and it was giving off poisonous vapors. Yea I smell good today new washing powders.
Rich mate, people pay a lot of money for war memrabilier! (i think thats how you spell it), you want to do your research unless its sentimental...
wow....cool to have something expensive.....
"Rich mate, people pay a lot of money for war memrabilier! (i think thats how you spell it), you want to do your research unless its sentimental..."
-he is already rich, so may be he bought it lol
Awsome
Yes I collect war memrablilier. : ) And yeah I am rich and I bought this, lol.
Do you sometimes use it in your home?
yeah, I bet he does, when it smells lol
I used it when my mom was cooking curry it smells to much.
haha... good one!
Yea, it's your best bet !
I like it a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yes well at least I am prepared !
lol i use mine when my mom cooks to also when she starts spraying her perfume stuff
The perfume can be fatal. :D
i know right? one time i had to go into a perfume shop and like most of the air was perfume it was hard to breathe and i got a terrible headache because i didnt have my mask unfortunately. not to mention my mom just made curry too and it smelled horrible but i had the mask so i didnt smell any of it. does your mom say anything when she sees you with the mask on?
Lol, that's funny and not funny ! Right so u stopped it with the gas mask of yours. Yeah my mom says get that bloody mask off, lol.
yeah i stopped it with the mask. lol my mom usually doesnt say anything so when she says that do you take it off?
Haha nope. My grandad says he doesn't blame me for wearing it because it smells bad.
lol your grandpa is right lol i dont know how she doesnt smell that. just your breathe would be after eating that stuff
Yeah, it's not that great. Once I was tricked into eating weak curry someone gave me chips in the dark and I said why are these chips slimy ? lol.
ewww what did it taste like? and did you beat them?
to tell u the truth i did not know it was that weak tasting, it just tasted slimy i thought they had not wiped the chip fat off the chips.
oh lol my mums is the same but still i dont like eating it especially the breathe thing
this was ages ago I was only about 6. My mums is strong.
oh ok lol. oh goodness i cant imagine how much worse it must be strong
I can still smell it mildly but not enough to wear the mask.
yeah i only put it on when its intense
i see. have u ever been in a surer ?
no whats a surer?
u know were all the stuff goes from toilets.
oh a sewer yeah ive been down to the processing plant where it all gets processed before being dumpend into the ocean. the feces gives of alot of methane and other gases you you have to wear an air sensor that goes of when it starts getting dangerous. but to be honest with you that smell doesnt really bother me. have you ever been?
No I haven't been in one.
oh ok. if i had my mask though i probly wouldnt have to worry about the gases. has anyone in your family ever stink up the bathroom before?
Not too much has anyone at you're place ?
not too much either and i dont use the same bathroom as everyone else so i dont worry about it. but i live in an apartment building so they wax the floors alot so i use my mask during that because that stuff is extremely strong and will get you goofy
Oh yeah I HATE that I've been in hotels and apartments were they do that it reeks.
not really i just kinda hurts
must be some kind of disinfectant i am on about.
oh yeah disenfectant reeks and especially that cleaning water the use at school it smells like vomit
Quite offensive smell.
yeah something makes me doubt that water is clean
haha yeah your probably right.
lol yeah its why i prefer not to touch the tables
It doesn't bother me in that way.
well it does for me because it leaves the tables all sticky and it gets on my hands
i've never been anywhere like that.
lucky for you but the school doesnt pay much for the janitors and cleaning supplies so thats probly it
i see. I have done my time in school and how sad and happy it was.
lucky your done now
Yeah I miss the funny stuff though fighting in the play ground, and basically causing chaos around the school in general, ROFL.
yeah its all fun but im homeschooled so i havent been to an actual school in a couple years
Home schooled. When I was in school it was funny.
yes home schooled. and yeah school was alright but than i moved to a different school and they were all idiots
I see. Only some people were stupid in my school most were ok.
oh i see what type of people u like to hang out with?
I have to go now. But I used hang around mostly lads no girls really.
i hanged with the girl most and alright see you later than i was going to go to sleep soon so its all cool
Opposite to me then, when we was about 14 one my cool friends started this thing off about girls then the 3 of us had this strange phobia of girls.
ok thats just really weird
Yeah I know sometimes it felt a bit over the top, lol.
yeah kinda lol
hmm yeah.
what else do you have strange phobias of?
nothing really you ? by the way that's gone now, the girl thing was from like 8th grade to 10th grade.
lol. i got a phobia of butterflies those things are evil lmao seriously they are
oh going into creepy crawlies, I don't like those giant water bugs.
lol water bugs i saw giant shiny red and green beetles floating in my pool before. but im fine with anything but butterflies. do you like those giant black beetles with the big horn on front of its head?
I like no beetles or bugs lmao.
yeah i dont like buying them cuz they cost 70 bucks each
buying them ?
pfft! yeah just for a stupid bug i could find those out in the woods maybe i should catch them than sell than make a little cash
pfft ?! Those stag beetles are bad.
lol yeah back when i used to live in the desert i used to catch black widows i had a lot of those things
I hate spiders, wolf spiders are fast though they disappear at 100mph lol.
lol wolf spiders you say? wouldve been fun trying to catch those
yeah.
the widows were pretty fast to i used to use welding glove on my hands to catch them but than i rigged up my old high power shop vac to suck them up
i dont bother with stuff like that me.
why you afraid to get bitten?
no I just not interested.
oh ok yeah me niether my life was just really boring back than. and suprisingly the widows never bit me i thoughit would happen suely but never did kinda odd
My life has never been boring as such because I go to a chess club, go sprinting at a club, go fishing etc. Kinda funny though the spider thing.
yeah i know right. lucky for you though i was stuck at home the whole time so being bitten wouldnt be the worst thing in the world
haha. I have had plenty of good times and bad times, a lot to remeber.
yeah the nail through my foot would be a bad time
yeah that would be. remember the pic of me when i triped up on the running track.
yeah that looked sick man you got banged up good
yeah, but my wrist was the most injured I could'nt even race because my wrist got knocked back and it was too weak to hold my weight so i could not go to set position.
dang how long did that last?
About 8 weeks.
dang so were you slower when you came back?
no i was still good.
oh thats good lol
hey you know this mask kinda looks like the modern day gas masks the SAS uses. btw does this mask use an asbestos filter?
Yeah but it's a different model. Yes it will use a asbestos filter I think.
does it have an asbestos filter now? for some reason they say its bad to breathe it in but im not sure how bad probly doesnt really matter much
There are different asbestos, there's brown asbestos, blue asbestos, and grey. Yes it's not healthy I learned all about it when I did plumbing at college. Not too sure.
probly doesnt really do much
Brown absestos is strongest, blue is for making walls of factory's because it holds the heat in, and grey is for roofs.
cool im not sure which type they use for masks back then
I think they would use the Brown one.
yeah most likely i used a mask with asbestos before it actually works very nice
But the reason they do not use the brown on roofs is because it can let water through.
why would you want to let water through your roof?
haha they use grey on roofs, brown is for other stuff. What I meant to say earlier is they don't use brown on roofs.
oh ok you had me wondering there for a moment but didnt they stop using asbestos in buildings? now you can even hire companies that specialize in removing the stuff
Yeah they stopped using it but I think it was good. My garage is made of it.
nice i have a respirater that uses it for the filter
that's...nice.
yeah works great
hey what happened to lily her comment isnt there anymore
don't know that weird.
hope she didnt get deleted
i will check in my friends list see if lily is still there.
alright tell me if her account is still there
I just brought a world war 2 civilian gas mask made in 1932 from a charity shop for £7.
ery nice is it an asbestos filter cuz during ww2 they used those to make civilian gasmasks they were giving all civilians for free because asbestos worked good and was cheap
I also have a German flying helmet.
sweet so do i man i got the goggles too i use it for my steampunk outfit. i also got old german biker goggles aan a helmet.
I don't have the gogles. I also have 2 Chindit meddles and a hat from world war two.
sweet. i also got a nazi uniform and hat with dress shoes
Haha that's because you are a nazi.
lol was that supposed to be a compliment?
No they were bad people gassed the jewish. I am glad the English overwhelmed them at Normandy.
yeah they had some good technology though
i see. have u ever been in a surer ? that's what rich said.
In a way yes, i used to help in a pig barn and sometimes i was inches from the pits where the manure goes to, and a few times i was under in empty pits. They don't smell too bad, but once they're flushing them, you have to get fresh air. Sometimes the sewer clogs, and you need to open them again with a hose. And no, i didn't use a mask.
what is what rich said?
have you ever been in a sewer?
oh yeah and yeah i replied to that
well, wee one, have you
i said yes the pant is a part of the sewer but if your talking about the big poo pipe that yeah i been in there to its pretty much the same as a dark hallway sometimes a bit smaller though
what i was talking was about 2 feet deep, and covered an enourmous room.
maybe if you talking about a storm sewer than i guess but i was talking more than 20 feet under
its for pig slop
