Si poa rafiki!

On the subject of patches... I asked Mrs TPH to a skirmish once. She was feeling out of sorts and did not attend. I stood behind a chap in the safety brief who had a collection of the most misogynistic shit velcroed to his plate carrier. It would have seriously pissed her off. It did me...

I'm having a load of rabbits tattoo'd on my head. At a distance, it'll look like I still have hares.

Arguing about anything... If you want to spend a precious weekend arguing, you are an arsehole. I don't care what it's about, arguing at airsoft is fucking ubercringe. Speak discretely to the person who broke the game (not site) rules after the game and calmly explain their mistake; don't...

At Gunman sites the marshals inspect each player entering the safe zone and ensure that pistol mags are removed. This is why!

Micheal Ryan was carrying a loaded pistol daily. His workmates and boss apparently knew. If someone had called the plod, he would have lost license and guns due to carrying a pistol in public loaded, and with no good reason. IIRC Hamilton wouldn't have passed a DBS check. He shouldn't have...

Obvious I know, but every tool that I've used today could kill someone. Hammers, screwdrivers, saws, knives, bradawls, even the bloody drill. As for the heavy duty all steel spade and pick... and as for the 3.5T van that they all live in!

I took my son's pal to a game when they were both about 12/13. Little sod dry fired in the safe zone and the staff were straight on to it. In fact everyone in the place stopped and looked round. Your experience is downright weird. Sorry to hear it.

Godspeed mate. No point fighting Father Time and a dodgy ticker. Enjoy yourself in whatever it is you find to do.

I was in my local enjoying a pint when another punter’s dog jumped up onto the bar, got hold of my hat in its jaws and ripped it to shreds. “ Did you see what your dog did “ I complained to the owner ? “ I couldn’t give a fuck “ came the reply . “ So that’s your attitude is it “ ? “ No, it’s...

There's been a relative influx of Japanese psyche bands locally lately. Saw Green Milk from the Planet Orange recently. Tonight I'm listening to these chaps. Listened to my pretty worn Motorhead LPs first though. Motorhead and The Stranglers got me into playing music all those years ago...

The Royal Family are said to be devastated after Prince Andrew's car crash next Wednesday.

Yes, Terry's still there AFAIK. I've had a few long chats with him. He's an interesting chap when he gets going. He told me about being an apprentice for the local authority when many tenants were still slightly disorientated by being moved due to slum clearances. Described work as being...

I have a stupidly large collection of Soviet/Russian Federation gear. I also think of my collection/loadouts when handed a desert menu.... I am, and will always be, a size 50/5...

I've played many a milsim/filmsim at Ultimate Wargames. Bloody excellent fun. The games run by Sierra Bravo Airsoft are amazing. I've never played the site on an average skirmish day, but I love the site itself. The different areas that they squeeze in is really good, and the site owner is a...
