  1. Just booked my Operation Thunder tickets for the weekend after this.

     

    Bloody excited just thinking about going.  Since I'm training pretty hard at the moment, my black PJs do emulate the pong of a chap whose been in the field for too long a couple of times a week.  

     

    Du ban GI!

  2. How short is short? Have a look at M4 pistol builds.
  3. 'You never take me out.' 'I don't date married women.' 'But I'm married to you.' 'I can't make an exception.'
  4. Sadly, I'm in the same boat. HMRC... if anyone deserves a visit from Judge Death...
  5. Relatives of Jack Sonni were approached today by an Egyptian undertaker offering the recently deceased Dire Straits guitarist a complimentary funeral - all for gratis. He said you get your mummy for nothing, get your crypts for free.
  6. All crime is committed by the living. The solution is obvious.
  7. Whenever I think of the 80s I think of boomboxes. But that's just a stereotype.
  8. Touché Sir! ? The next step is taking over the spare room/corner of the living room/bedroom with loadouts and kit. Seriously, there's a PHD for someone writing a thesis on airsoftitis....
  9. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161809509439? - This may sort you out. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/202561750943? - Stick a mesh mask on this. Just drill a hole in each side and bolt a mesh mask on. You may need some spacers/washers, and something to stop it pivoting too far down. I'd stick to the Bolles beneath each though.
  10. So once you get your UKARA it's 'Guns: fixed Cyma Platinum MP5, MWS' and a sore wallet...
  11. Mesh masks for chainsaw work are safety rated and have frames that hold them away from the face. If you checked the safety rating and tested one, it might be possible to mount one to an airsoft helmet. You could measure the ID of the masks arms and find a cheap helmet that would go between them. It wouldn't stop you from using the Bolles either. Another option is that some people remove the strap from the face mesh and attach them to the bottom of the goggles frame with cable ties. All a bit Heath Robinson, but there we go. My eczema is flaring up at the minute, so I feel your pain/infernal itching!
  12. I got one of those Humpty Dumpty toys from Aldi for my kids. It's brilliant. It comes with Aldi King's horse's and Aldi King's men.
  13. And yet I've always had to fix bikes that have been doused in the stuff, 'to protect it.' Fork seals, rubber HT leads, valve stems(!), gunged up control cables, the lot.
  14. I walked into my local a few years ago and the barmaid remarked that I smelled 'lovely' and that I never usually used aftershave. I had to confess that I'd fumbled a can of GT85 and sprayed my t-shirt with it rather than whatever motorbike part I'd tried to aim at... GT85 is Teflon based. WD40 is 51% thinners according to the T.U.V. datasheet. WD is only good for initial water dispersant or cleaning. It rots rubber and causes rust long term. GT85 for the win!
  15. I entered the "How not to surrender" competition and I won hands down.
  16. I identify as This Little Piggy. My pronouns are We/We/We.
  17. Got stopped by the Belfast police last night. I gave them their names and addresses and they let me on my way.
  18. Not saying that the UK is small, but we have to keep all the lakes in one district.
  19. IIRC they are 'softer' as they have less brisance than 616s. That gives them lesser/slower ignition qualities, it doesn't effect the ease/force with which they ignite. They tend to get used in slow ignition big and small bore shotguns. FWIW this is a brisance rating that I copied years ago, softest to hardest. If your device favours a particular style of ignition for some reason it may be useful? Worth noting that the Euro primers are larger in OD than the US primers? Cheddite are pretty fat compared to Federal for instance. 1. Rem 209 STS, 2. CCI 209, 3. Winchester 209, 4. Noble Sport 209, 5. Cheddite 209, 6. Fiocchi 209, 7. CCI 209M, 8. Federal 209A.
  20. I'm terrible at the classics. It's my Hercules heal....
  21. Damn bloody shame. You'll be well missed, but your health comes first. Heal soon and Godspeed to you. You are one hell of a sniper! I remember the game that you halted the advance of those US troops long he tree line at Eversley very well. I'll ratatatat a few extra imperialists for you with the RPK at the Namsoft game. Seriously mate, take care of yourself and we all hope to see you (and your fellow Worthing Massive soon). I say this despite Mrs THP being introduced to the green gas M10/11 by Glynn. She'd only just been bought a CYMA AK74SYU, yet raved about the rate of fire of the compact GBB rif. More bloody expense... Worth it if it makes a loved one smile though. It's what it's all about.... Best wishes from all of us.
  22. Clarity is king. A decent scope at x4 is better than a shit scope at 10x. Looking into dark corners will show up a shit scope at any power. I used a decent scope at x4 at dusk, potting targets at the base of fir trees that cast a heavy shadow. I'd have struggled with a flashier but poorer lensed tactical scope. My DMR SVD has a silly priced 1.4-4x20 on it with a Red Dot lens shield. I've also got a decent Japanese scoped M14 with a period 6x40 IIRC. It's unfashionable and cost peanuts, but its a good piece of basic clear lensed kit.
  23. Last week I joined a nudist colony. The first few days were the hardest...
  24. I failed learning to fight with a staff. I simply couldn't stick with it
  25. The rule at Gunman sites is that all hits are hits, ricochets included. Removes the doubts about what to take.
