      Hi dude. 👋

  3. ‘Tis official it’s bad news !! 

    Physio “strongly” recommends no more shouldering of rifles if I want my shoulder to get any better, use of anything that doesn’t involve my shoulder is ok so pew-pew with pistoleros is looking good!

      Sorry to hear that mate... The Jungle last week was a mudbath..had to help people up the slope to get out of the Jungle..slippy as hell.  Fun to play in, but a pain to get in/out of.  Top part of site has had a lot of improvements following the Paintball NvS game..more barricades/features everywhere.  Get well soon!

      @Monkman Cheers buddeh,  I’m probably still gonna go Ace next month but I will “tap-out” when it comes to the Jungle time and stick to pistol-pew’ing top end.

      One plus side only need to take one bag and sling pistols in it :)

      I don't get the problem. Any flapping and shrieking starts with the supposition that you're leaving any real firearms around where kids can get their hands on them unsupervised.

       

      Still, at least we've now found something even more scarifying than a black gun.

  5. You know what everyone…….

     

    ……. I’m really missing the colourful  background we had a few months back…..

      MiK

      Well I might need to book a visit to the Physio as the only thing still hurting like a “bar-steward” is the right shoulder - I think I might have done something slightly more than just “banged it up a little” …….

    4. Shamal

      Shamal

      The important issue is though....can you still shoulder a weapon?????🤔

      Those are done - just need a run out at Ace on the 20th to see if they survive & ghillie hood is just in tweakage phase and I might run that out in its full colour on the 20th too for giggles if I get around to putting the T10 back together 

  11. OMFG!!!! I’m just watching the biopic of Bowie on Sky called “Stardust”……

    then the wife asked me if David Bowie was English with guy doing a fairly bad London accent :D

      Chuckles…. Don’t even ask me about “The Rock” incident 😳

      Druid799

      Way back in the past when Titanic first came out was sat in the coffee room in work everyone’s talking about it , one of the nurses (a particularly pretty but thick as pigshit one) says her new boyfriend was taking her that night . Few minutes later one of the girls turns to me and says “I know you wouldn’t want to see it as it’s a love story but you taking your wife to see it ?” Too which I replied “God no ! Last film she’d want too see , the ship sinks and they all drown !” To which the thick pretty one jumps up and shouts at me “thanks for ruining the film by telling me what happens no point going now !” And flounces off !😳 as I’m sure you can imagine there was stunned silence in the room with everyone just looking at each other then I burst out laughing and everyone else rapidly followed !😂

      @Druid799 FFS Man…… that film was still on my bucket list!!!…..

  13. So I’ve finally stopped sulking on the fubar on the bandoleer and I’m gonna finish it as a back up and then make a 2nd but “correctly”

  14. AAAAARRRGGGHHHH!! 🤯

    That’s how ya feel when you realise you’ve just foobarred your bandoleer by having your MC pattern vertical instead of horizontal………..

      Oops! 🤭

  15. The big question of the day.... How to respond to Wife when she tells you that your parcel that you have been waiting on to complete your bandoleer project actually came 4 days ago and she forgot about it.......

      It's a legitimate defense for when you forget anniversary/birthday 👍

      @Shamal She has done that one too, many a year ago I brought some flowers home and her response was “what have you done/bought now?” 
      Me “happy anniversary!!”

      Her : “oh .......... I’ve left your pressie at my parents” nips out to get it

      a few days later I find the receipt dated & time of the visit home, I do remind her now and then about that :D

      and Please don’t get me started on my engagement present from her 🤣

  16. MMMMmmmmm interesting concepts - 

     

  17. Well that was a one-sided Super Bowl !

  21. I’m wondering how “tough” will the new lockdown tiers will be post lockdown with the new “tougher” system planned for England - I wonder if it’s time to tell myself “that’s all she wrote with Airsoft till spring ‘21?”

      A good example of not having a fucking clue

      when announcing sporting restrictions...

       

      TENNIS - you stand at opposite ends of the court FFS

      (way over 2m apart)

       

      But professionals can play - Djokovic lost yesterday in London

      yet you peasants may not

       

      Open up airsoft, we already know what MED means

      it just means no meelee kills coz we can't get too close

      (and keep your distance from any leper team-mates)

    3. alxndrhll

      alxndrhll

      I think I've come to point where I've largely accepted it'll be that sort of time till I get to play next, at the earliest. Granted that's partly down to being up North wheere things seem to be consistently worse 'tier' wise, and also because a majority of the sites up here seem to be indoor CQB (truth be told, unless there are a bunch of hidden ones I'm not aware of, choices up here are pretty slim full stop).

      Just trying to figure out what to do kit wise. I've got a decent amount of money tied up in arisoft kit... some of which I picked up recently as last week. But I am currently contemplating selling all of my RIFs bar 1 'primary' and a pistol just until we get a clearer picture of the overall landscape. It's a weird time, and as much as I love the hobby there have certainly been some point across this year where I've contemplated just selling up and moving on full stop. Decisions, decisions.

    4. Captain Darling

      Captain Darling

      No, it'll have to come back outdoors from 2nd December or many airsoft sites/businesses will cease to exist.  CQB in tier 3 areas may be hit harder, especially if you consider high ground rents for the indoor sites, nevermind all the other overheads.

       

      They can't/won't keep bars and pubs shut, so the airsoft industry won't be fobbed off without a legal challenge, in my view.

  22. My Latest order came in 3 days early and in amongst it was some Red BB’s so I couldn’t resist popping a few out on the AAP-01’s Fun Switch - much to the annoyance of my misses :D

    1. Steveocee

      Steveocee

      Thats amazing! Dept and ProjectX ain't goign to know what's hit it lol. Defo need to get yourself a HPA setup with Glock>M4 mag conversion for some primary AAP memes

  23. Mmmm 2 hours to go and will Boris lock us down ???

    1. Sitting Duck

      Sitting Duck

      if he does then he is a bigger fucking idiot than I thought possible

       

      lock everything down, so NOBODY goes out

      (except to shop & key workers etc...)

      nurseries, schools, universities still open, but kids mixing with a 1,000 others won't spread & bring back the virus ???

       

      if NOBODY goes to the pub, eat out etc...

      then wtf is the point of track n trace

      no notifications = no need to get tested

      nobody testing - cases drop drastically

      hooray - it has all been a success

       

      until next time

       

      The Lurgy Lockdown - 3rd/4th wave etc...

       

      COVID-19 doesn't really kill you as such

      instead it is mostly PNEUMONIA caused by influenza, cold/rhino-virus and now COVID-19

      You get an infection/inflamation in your lungs as they fill up with fluid/puss - and that is what causes most of the deaths - pneumonia

       

      But write down COVID-19

       

      Did you know that the When the BBC said COVID-19 is THREE times more deadly than the flu - they used a graph that displayed a higher death rate in 1992~2000 for influenza

      So they quickly pulled it and replaced it with one for just 2020

       

      Now there was 2 x 8 year periods where in 1975~1983 it reached 63,000 deaths pa for influenza/pneumonia

      & also 60,000 pa for 1992~2000

      The last serious outbreak lead to the influenza vaccine programe being rolled out after 2000

       

      What they are doing is comparing influenza, which we have had started to develop vaccines since 1930, a virus we have a range of vaccines for various strains of flu - comparing it to a new virus we don't have a vaccine for

       

      So comparing the flu TODAY where 14m get the vaccine, to COVID-19 with NO VACCINE is like comparing apples to oranges

       

      Plus in 1992~2000 the UK had a much lower population so that 60k would equate to 70,000 deaths today

       

      But here is the rub...

       

      Does ANYBODY remember the lockdown, masks & crazy wash wash washing your hands during those 16 years in 1975~1983 & also 1992~2000

       

      coz I fucking don't remember any of it at all

      (was on another device earlier but here's some pics)

       

      1) original graph BBC quickly pulled showing outbreak in 90's

      (ooops quick change it)

      2) the one they quickly replaced it with showing just 2020

       

      1232879577_Screenshotfrom2020-10-0919-29-22.thumb.png.7e0622732fb62a21b3dd29bfdb23c849.png

       

      3) google showing both were used

      4) history of large flu/pneumonia pandemic in 1992~2000

      (when the flu vaccine then was rolled out in 2000 onwards)

       

      609923346_Screenshotfrom2020-10-0920-14-23.thumb.png.8fdc6dee0509faddd9d6a96b520c6d0b.png

       

      5) the pandemic in 1975~1983

       

       

      1003934232_Screenshotfrom2020-10-0920-14-02.thumb.png.cc40baeb1f0a52864024870b692540b5.png

       

      and for reference the Spanish Flu in 1918

       

      1271936390_Screenshotfrom2020-10-0920-14-34.thumb.png.c5429d85e8c1b1f51cb55efe67a82a9d.png

       

      Point being when we had a large pandemic twice for 8 years during 75~83 & 92~2000...

      Does anybody remember masks & lock downs back then

      coz I bloody don't

    2. MiK

      MiK

      2nd of December it is then .........
