When you get issued your shiny new TA rig, do what the rest of the sad sack fuckers do and be sure to shoot straight home to have some pictures taken in your Mum and Dads garden for your Facebook profile....

Fuck me CF, I watched the video waiting for the punchline and when I realised it was for real I had to swallow a bit of sick I just managed to stop spraying on my keyboard... you could have warned me...
