  1. This from my seven year old grandson

     

    How do you make two coins add up to 15 pence? Oh and one of them can't be a 5 pence.

      Back in my day we would just cut a piece off a silver coin 🤣

      Haha well back when I were a kid if you were lucky you got a silver sixpence in your bit of Christmas pud. 

      If you were unlucky though you got a broken tooth 😂

  2. Pissed off big time!

    Just been sorting my rig,filling mags,charging tracers and cleaning barrels ready for Saturday's game at z mart Newbury.

    Damnit very nearly had it all ready by front door!

     

    Just got email from ukapu that z mart,for reasons unknown as yet,are unable to cater for us.☹️

     

    I was really looking forward to going.

     

    I'm so pissed off that I'm considering going out and buying a cat so I can kick it!

    ☹️☹️☹️

      I can only apologise on behalf of the committee mate, I know the guys put a lot of effort into organising the game day and they are gutted as well.

    4. Shamal

      Shamal

      No need to apologise mate but thanks.

      I guess a lot of people were disappointed not just me.

      I've had me tantrum and Mrs Shamal sent me to bed early last night 😂

      I feel sorry for David having to send out the emails☹️

       

      Regards 

  3. Finally got my,ahem,helmet sorted out 🙂

    The go pro was at a funny angle,pointing more at the floor than forward due to the hinge of the case hitting the mounting plate.I didn't want to get an extension arm which would have sorted the problem but at the cost of raising camera up 76mm so with the Dremel I was able to remove enough plastic from the mounting plate to allow it to swing upright.👍

     

    The helmet has never really sat nicely on me nogging so I set about experimenting with different sizes of velcro/foam inserts which helped but then I looked at the rotary knob for the headband which I thought was at maximum travel but lo and behold it went another turn and fuck me sideways the helmet fits perfect,almost like it's stitched to me bonce. 

    So all in all a good days mucking about🙂🙂

     

    Regards

  4. I've got an invite to the ukapu game day and AGM at z mart Newbury.

    Are any forum members going?

    I've never been there but looking at the website gallery it seems to be quite a challenging venue.

    Are there any regular players that can give any advice?

    I also get the impression from the in game pics that it's maybe a speed soft type of play?

     

    Anyway maybe see you there🙂👍

      I hope it's not far,I've got a bloody heavy range bag and two gun rifle bag.lol

       

      Yeah hopefully it won't be stupid parking fee☹️

      Just had a look … presuming it’s a 9.30 - 4 game day, you might get away with 8hrs at £8.70. Over 8hrs is £12.

      Think it’s a 1.9m height restriction if you’re in a van.

       

      It’s a short walk.

       

      Car park entrance - yellow arrow

      Zmart - red arrow

      You’ll walk out of the car park half way between the two.

      Hey @Madhouse thanks for putting that info up👍

       

      I shall have to ask wifey for some more pocket money to feed the thieving parking machine lol.

       

      Yeah so not far to walk then which is good.

      Thanks🙂

  5. Happy pew year to all.

    Hope you all have a banging 2024 😁

    Regards 

  6. I would like to wish everyone a very happy Christmas and New Year.

    It's been an interesting,funny and,at times,fudal year of forum shannigins and banter which all makes afuk the place to be.

     

    As of now I am in Christmas mode and shall be donning the Santa apron and putting the Heineken hat on and staying up late.(10.30ish) lol.

     

    I shall probably go dark for a while as posting up eats into drinking time🍺🍺.

     

    God willing I shall be looking forward to another year of Airsoft and gun fun 😁

     

    Enjoy your festiveness and I hope all your wishes come true x

     

    P.s

    No talking about me while I'm gone👍

  7. You know things are bad when peanuts aren't peanuts anymore.

    Mrs Shamal bought a 250gm bag of dry roasted KP nuts today. £5 fucking 50p?

     

    Oh well at least we will have something for Xmas dinner. Lol

      It would have been a local garage in waterlooville.

      Yeah bloody nuts I know.

      I don't know if I should eat them or frame them 😉

      Tactical Pith Helmet

      On offer in Tesco.  We get through loads of the bloody things.  There's competition to eat them I think!

  8. Just thought I would pass on a couple of tips for falling asleep in an armchair.

     

    1 Be old

    2 Sit in armchair.

     

    😕

      EDcase

      I don't even need the armchair.

  10. In Glastonbury for our mini break.

    Three days of doing nothing.

    No guns no drones no work just beer and chilling and getting in the zone for nae 🙂

  11. Well I really can't work women out.

    Mrs Shamal is on a ten day cruise of the med.

    So I hatched a plot to send her a video of her two most loved furry friends. Nonky the tiger and cheeser the mouse. She is so protective about them that it's unreal.

    With the help of @EDcasea video was produced that showed them both hanging from my drone at the local cricket club although they have never left the house.( Excellent production from Ed.) 

    I sent her the video today thinking that she would go ballistic( imagine a five foot stick of tnt in the heat of a Turkish bazaar)

    Her reaction? "Ahh Sweet"🤔

    Unbelievable!

    I asked her how many cocktails she had had. No reply.

    I may be on some sort of hit list for when she returns.

    If you don't hear from me then you know the reason why!😂

      My wife once said that Sex on holiday was always better.

      ... it was possibly the worst postcard I've ever received.

  12. It was a tough choice and I battled long and hard,I tossed and turned and lost sleep. I was pulled every which way.

    Gun or Drone, Gun or Drone??

    Arrrrgh.....

    Drone won.

    Sorry guys 😔

     

    Roll on some good weather 🙂

      Which drone?

    3. Shamal

      Shamal

      It's a hubsan zino mini pro.

      Got the Mavic air but this one claims 40mins flight time. In practice it's probably about 30 mins though.

  14. Hi guys.

    A shout out for help from anyone who is into computers and video editing.

     

    Ok the plot is this.....

    My wife is off on a cruise on the 5th August and while she is gone I have custody of her beloved fluffy tiger and mouse.

    Still with me?

    So what I want to do is send her a video of tiger and mouse suspended from my drone twenty meters above local cricket ground. This will freak her out and may mean a night or two in the spare room or at worse a&e.

    However I'm prepared to risk it 😂

     

    The problem is that I lack the technical know-how to do this.

     

    If I were to take video of drone and pictures of tiger (nonky) and cheeser (mouse) would anyone be able to put them together in a believable video that I can send while she is in Turkey?

     

    Regards🤞

      I know what you mean.

      I can't understand how she can get so attached to a stuffed toy

      And she can't understand how I can get so attached to a m92 lol.

       

      I've got the Mavic air. Great bit of kit but I'm after a hubsan zino mini pro.

      i've one of those Airs too.  Just wish I had the time to fly them.  Have a couple of the old basic Hubsans too.

       

      Shame Drones are  banned at most sites otherwise we could bomb the F out of the opposition.

    4. Shamal

      Shamal

      Yeah aerial 🚡 bombardment. It will happen lol.

       

      I'm taking mine to the national Airsoft event. Not to fly over game zones but around the camping areas.

      Yes please, sue him (yes I'm assuming gender) for me too please.

      Architects are my arch enemies (they try to steal my job thinking they're better because of their education, but then clients always pray me to fix their shit)

      A recent one I had was a consultant who designed a system for me to install.  I then had to correct this mistakes, after which I had to shoe into a tiny plant room extra equipment because of paranoia over things failing in years to come.

       

      Dude looks me in the eye and says "don't worry I have rendered everything in 3D and it all fits.

       

      Silly sod didn't 3D render my 6'7" 120kG (then) frame into the picture did he - nor all the shit that links all the equipment together.  It was like playing Tetris with a blow torch.

       

      Now I think about it - he still owes me £4K.  methinks a stroppy email is about to be sent.

  16. Can somebody take the 'careful now' button off of @TacticalWaifu. 😂😂

      I'm not especially reading your posts but I do look at the reaction that people give. Am I the only one?

       

      Yeah you used it on one of my posts and I was curious as to why so I pm'd you to ask why. 

       

      Don't flatter yourself I'm not searching your post or your reactions.

  17. Great day at ucap green ops.

    Marshalls and staff were on top form.

    I, especially,had a good day because I have adopted a dmr role and the gun that I used,purchased from this very forum,(thanks @cyanide14k),performed faultlessly. I was surprised at how much more range I could get with .30. The scope made so much difference to target finding. Total of ten good hits although I have to admit to two home kills🥴

     

    Not a large turnout,about 45,but good, honest play all round with no player fallouts and lots of complimentary calls.

     

    I think I have found a style of play that suits me now that I am getting older.More relaxed and laying in wait from good cover.

     

    I will still switch to assault play on good days when the bones aren't shouting STOP! You maniac lol.

     

    Tired but happy🙂🙂

      Great to hear it, and yes, DMR or BASR does make for more leisurely play.  When Major Move-Up! starts yelling (from 10 yards behind you), you can say "Can't mate, MED, mate." ;) 

  18. Right. Keep the noise down you orrible bunch. I'm off to bed. Early start tomorrow. Game on at ucap green ops.🙂🙂

    1. Rogerborg

      Rogerborg

      I think he's asleep - set off the pyro.

  19. Great day at the ucap bunkers today.

    Met some new faces which was good.🙂

     

    Took quite a pounding though☹️

    When I got home and got in the shower,the wife thought I had measles! I was covered lol.

     

    Got a lot of good kills though so that's a bonus.

    Couple of cases of non hit taking but marshals were on it.

     

    Game play was fast paced and aggressive but in a good way.

     

    Guns performed well although my xcortech tracer ran out of juice half way through day but my specna tracer,used on another gun by my battle buddy,lasted all day.

     

    All in all a very good day.

    Thanks ucap 👍

    Regards 

     

  20. Just a quick heads up guys.

    Don't ask your wife when dinner will be ready while she is mowing the lawn.

    Dammit! I never knew she could flip so fast lol.😳

     

    Regards 

  21. I'll get in early cause I may not be in a fit state later 😂

      I'm not a fan of the institution, but what an astonishing human being.  Born into a long lifetime of relentless, constant public service and scrutiny that she never asked for, she buckled down and just did the job, never said one word of complaint, never made one gaffe.  Stoic and cheerful to the end.  We'll never see the like again.

      Never really been a royalist, never followed much about them so I felt indifferent at the news last night yet for some reason today I feel something, not pain or sadness kinda like I feel I lost something what I knows important but can't quite remember what it is exactly. Odd.

  24. Great weekend at the nae/naf.

     

    Got stung in mouth by wasp who was drinking from the same tinnie as me.Went to first aid point and had a couple of anti histamine tabs.

    Took a tumble in the jungle and cut arm on tree branches. Went to first aid point. Cleaned and dressed. 

    Medic said if I back a third time I get a free coffee 🙂

     

    Met some great guys and talked until early hours.

     

    Sunday was a very productive day with lots of satisfying creeping and hit giving.

     

    Great play,great food and cold beer. 

    Exhausted by happy😁
