  1. Hi and thanks for your input ? Well yeah I guess his deafness is the issue really. If he was hearing there would be no issue. Yes he is a grown man and able to make his own decisions but you have to understand that from a kid he has had to grow and learn in a different world,a silent world, relying on certain people to teach him a special language. He lives and works in a deaf community so pretty much everyone talks the same language and he is in his comfort zone, obviously he does have contact with hearing people who do not sign but it's difficult for him as it is for me to communicate with him. I don't think any of the posts have been patronising and I don't think he would either. There have been some great replies with things I hadn't thought of which was the purpose of the thread. I shall take every one's advice and ideas on board and will speak to my site again and put some of your suggestions forward? Thanks guys ? Regards Good idea. Thanks You are spot on.... Ask him what he needs......see I'm too busy thinking about myself and how I will handle it. Yeah good call.
  2. Just thought I would put this out there. There has been a recent thread touching on disabled players. I didn't want to hijack or sidetrack it so have started a new topic. My sisters son,my nephew,is 34 now and he knows I play guns and he has seen my collection and gear and has shown an interest. A while ago he asked me,through his mum, if he would be able to come along to a game day. I say 'through his mum' because he has been profoundly deaf since birth and can only communicate by sign language. I have a limited sign vocabulary,mostly swear words,so I find it hard to talk to him if my sis is not with him. My sister is not happy about him doing it but I said I would ask my site what they thought about him attending a game. They say that their main concern is that he wouldn't be able to hear the safety briefing or site rules or be aware of what's happening around him.They say it may be possible if someone could sign the briefing for him but that they couldn't be completely sure that he was being given the correct interpretation. They also say that insurance cover may be an issue. I haven't told him yet what they have said but it doesn't look very promising. I do understand where they are coming from and the difficulties involved. He would have to keep watching me for instructions and I would have to keep looking at him and trying to understand what he is signing and not understanding him ? It's a hard one cause I think he really wants to do it.☹️ Anyway what's the collective thoughts on above please ? Regards
  3. Money saving tip : Instead of buying a coffin just order a pen from Amazon and use the box it comes in!
  4. Not doubting your diagnosis but how have you determined that the battery/motor don't have enough oomph?
  5. I went to the shop this morning to pick up 6 cans of Sprite. When I got home I realised that I'd picked 7 up.
  6. Yes I've just done a lens search on it. Yours has a brass bit sticking out which doesn't seem to be on the pics I've seen. Must admit it has a certain charm to it?
  7. Ready steady go. It's a starting pistol on steroids ? I'm not sure about it but there is a sort of chunkiness and 'i mean business' look to it. I wouldn't be out of the running if one came my way. What is it?
  8. I think sniping should be age regulated. Make it for the over 60 age group. That would limit the numbers and speaking for myself I'm not as fast as I used to be so it would be a much more relaxed game for me. I don't mind paying £30 to lay down,take a shot now and again,have a nap in between times and shoot a few more leaves. I could come home from a game without injuries and feeling refreshed. Sounds good to me lol. The above is just light hearted not a serious suggestion. ? Regards
  9. I still get lost down the ucap tunnels. ?
  10. Steve complained to his friend Al that lovemaking with his wife was becoming routine and boring. "Get creative mate. Break up the monotony. Why don't you try playing doctor for an hour?" "Sounds great," Steve replied, "but how do you make it last for an hour?" "Easy, just keep her in the waiting room for 45 minutes!"
  11. Hello and welcome to the Airsoft asylum. Sounds to me that you will fit in just fine.I put my little pony ? on my magazines ? Regards
  12. Yeah not bad. ?? So you know how to buy gats... But do you know how to use a post office??? This is why all the ads are completed by the time I've saved a few shillings...you have bought the bloody lot!! Very nice though mate? Ya greedy fecker ??
  13. One day, a farmer was tending to his livestock when he noticed that one of his cows was completely cross-eyed. He called up a veterinarian friend of his who told him to bring in his cow. The vet took one look at the cow, stuck a tube up the cow's butt, and blew into the tube until the cow's eyes straightened out. The vet charged the farmer a hundred pounds, and the farmer went home happy. About a week later, the cow's eyes were cross-eyed again, but this time the farmer figured he could probably take care of it himself. So he called his hired hand over, and together they put a tube up the cow's butt. The farmer put his lips to the tube and started to blow. Strangely, nothing happened, so he asked his hired hand to give it a try. The hired hand removed the tube, turned it around, put it in the cow's butt and started to blow. "What are you doing?" asked the farmer, horrified. "Well, I wasn't gonna use the side that YOU had put your lips on"
  14. Put the mag back in and try a couple of shots. If not you will have to take upper part of gun off and remove the barrell and as said above,use the unjamming rod.
  15. I’ve got a friend who eats frozen apples. That's proper hard core.
  16. Green ops physically wrap red parcel tape on the right arm for one team and yellow on the left arm for opfors. The bloody stuff needs cutting off at end of day lol
  17. I saw a man sat in a shop doorway with an empty cup in front of him.He was dressed up as Henry the Eighth and I thought, "That's not right, beggars can't be Tudors." Sorry
  18. Yeah it's quite bad there. It falls under education in deprived areas. Haha he will realise in years to come when his education is earning him a fortune.
  19. Mrs Shamal is a teacher and I was saying that they should have body worns. I. to back the staff up 2. To show how foul mouthed and aggressive the little shits are. 3. Evidence as to what really happened cause some of the feckers are very good at playing the victim! The police were on the phone to her last Thursday for a witness statement due to an incident that she witnessed whereby a young nqt had two large handfuls of hair ripped out by an eight year old who claimed she pushed him and who grabbed her hair to stop him falling. All lies. Another teacher at same school had her finger chopped off at the second knuckle due to a lad forcefully kicking a door shut while her hand was on the door jamb. Every night she is doing half a dozen cpoms regarding bad behaviour. I'm glad she only has another year to go.
  20. I've been chewing this over and scratching my skull.....??
  21. I remember the incident with the' accidental stomping' probably couple of years ago now but can't remember who was involved.?
  22. I told my doctor, “the older I get, the more I spread gossip." My doctor replied "Sounds like you've got rumourtism."
  23. I have flight radar 24 and it never fails to amaze me how many aircraft are in the air at any one time. I sometimes just cannot fathom the shear numbers of gas guzzling machines buzzing around our skies. Regarding what Mr Tackle says though the night sky is awesome.iI have a celestial telescope and it's just mind-blowing to look at the moon and near earth planets. I got my son interested and bought him a national geographic telescope five years ago and he has been bitten by the sky bug.He now has thousands of pounds of gear and is into astrophotography. Some of his pictures of galaxies and nebula are amazing.
  24. So you say it's got a newish max hop unit,rubber and new inner barrell. Was the gat working properly before these changes? If the double feeding happened after, then it points to the hop unit. I can't offer any possible remedy but I would start looking there.
  25. Its amazing how the meaning of one letter changes things.lol
