  1. Oh dear.... https://airsoft-forums.uk/classifieds/item/49152-aap01-hpa-crazy-upgraded/
  2. As a father to a teenager I second that - the boy and I have our own distinct loadouts. Looking forward to him coming home in June so I can shoot the crap out of him again: We have (I like to think) a pretty solid relationship as a result of spending Airsoft days together. I certainly know him better than he thinks I do. The boy also has some school friends who's mum was into Airsoft - her and her partner's loadout's were pretty awesome. We had some fun gameday's as a group. However, your dad may have genuine reasons for being apprehensive - I was at first TBH. It's not just the financial cost of owning a gun. My brother and his missus are completely against guns of any kind for example so my nephew would have had no chance if he wanted Airsoft as a hobby. It's part of what sucks to be a kid. You have to respect the boundaries your parents put in place. Of course I am giving the OP the benefit of the doubt that this isn't a wind up thread.
  3. Love my 2018 Leaf... Limited yes, but drives like a go-kart. Plus I earn approximately £100 a month selling power back to the grid 😎. Other than that - have my Tranny Custom for work which is coming up to 130000 miles. These will be the last vehicles I am ever likely to own other than my dad's AJS550 when he goes and possibly his little grey tractor - not sure how I'll get them to tokyo, or where they'll be parked; but I'm quite looking forward to being "that Gaijin" LOL. Car clubs and public transport are so cheap, reliable and ubiquitous there that there's no point owning a run around.
  4. This! I am still unclear as to what this insurance is for (other than bypassing the pew defense issue). Is it in case a cosplayer with a tail/axe/pointy ears puts someone's eye out an a convention?
  5. That's puppy - I look after the systems at GNBC, so that's my go to for lunch. Dude uses proper mince and does then as a smash burger.
  6. If you want a good burger - there's a place just down the road from the GNBC.
  7. When I played there I thought it was pretty decent.... Only issue was a player had come up from two days at NAF and was whining about being shot at. Vaguely remember posting about it here at the time - it was rather funny. Site was good and facilities up there too.
  8. Hatfield ain't so bad.... You could be in Stevenage or Luton.
  9. It fits me well enough.... so no. Have you done your Geometric Sequences work?
  10. 'king right - I remember in my yoof riding from Eastbourne to Gloucester in freezing, driving rain that froze on my chest. 3 very miserable hours on the back of a CB250N (which I still have 28 years later). Still have the old Belstaff jacket, although it doesn't fit as well.
  11. It was a call back to a thread that went very south over the weekend. When i went to Driver Wood a while back though, it didn't strike me as a place that needed bodycams - but then another member witnessed an incident, so i might have been wrong.
  12. Very seldom have drawings to work from - only a defined space and of course the building plans. We work on anything from bedsits to factories, but tend to work on large houses - those that are worth more than Mr Duck's entire postcode area. If you're working on 28mm and below then the cost doesn't really pan out unless the bigger sizes are in play too. If you're working on heat pumps means that pipe sizes are going to be much larger as you're dealing with low level energy so need huge flow rates by comparison - hence the use of buffers and volumisers. The pics from the other day are for a house with a heatloss of 9kW, but they wanted two smaller pumps over one big boy, even then though you need 35mm once the heat pumps are linked.
  13. Hey @Shamal - here's some more crimping work.... https://photos.fife.usercontent.google.com/pw/AP1GczM8ou5XKP6fvVSMwZeb48XLcD6UuGighuqGNZtGuWrNg2tyTQkxSwrdpg=w1737-h977-s-no-gm?authuser=0 https://photos.app.goo.gl/8eDDycPit8rg2jHY6 This was a tight one https://photos.app.goo.gl/r4uzGdZcQqNdz6xT6
  14. Does seem odd, Driver Wood isn't exactly chav central unlike a certain place that's come to the forum's attention this week. The footage isn't going to be social media worthy either.
  15. He's chased me down as well. Wondering if I should feel flattered. 😄
  16. Struggling with this quoting malarkey aren't we. 🤣. Don't worry buddy... I reset my password the old fashioned way.
  17. Perhaps once they've seen this they can have a look at the patches thread?
  18. Not surprised that this died on its arse.... Can you imagine the insurance required to host an airsoft event with >1000 players? Let alone organising it.... Most sites struggle to organise 50 skirmishers.... A large event is great - I'm thinking of Battlesim Lite at Abingdon - but these guys have bitten off far more than they can chew.
  19. Didn't we used to be able to sign in using our google accounts? I accidentally logged out on my phone and can't be bothered going through the recover password stuff (unless I have to of course). Tah muchly.
  20. How much for the bowl of cat food? 😜
  21. Crickey - where is he sticking that thing? Was hoping to go tomorrow as I still have a day in hand; btu I'm knackered after this week's work and can barely walk.
  22. You haven't explained anything you'vepasted a nothing burger. You've dodged ducked dived and dipped. Why have you come to the number you have come to? Why have you not (unless I've missed something) not restricted GBBRs?
  23. Are you reading the same posts we're all reading? Nobody is attacking you as a person, only the completely obvious avoidance of answering the question. Pasting something from a website does nothing to explain the arbitrary limits your site enforces, and shows more that you don't really understand what's going on.
  24. Imagine coming on an Airsoft forum, and thinking experienced members with years of standing don't know about Joule Creep and using Joules over FPS for chrono.
  25. I'll post up some more pics tomorrow in an off topic thread.... I have the larger novopress gun as we do light commercial/massive domestic so pipes can be up to 76mm. Smaller tools like REMS are fine for regular stuff up to 35mm (the pipes you see there). We did have a machine that did 108mm, but we hardly ever used it so gave it to a friend. Fittings are quite a bit more expensive in smaller sizes, but once you hit 35mm it actually starts to get cheaper. You do have to plan ahead though as you can easily plumb yourself into a corner that you can't get the tool into. REMs have some funky offset adapters and jaws which make getting into tight spaces and under floors easier. I just don't like the feel of the tool (it feels like it is going to break, even though it's fine). 42mm and above and you move into a sling-jaw set up which gets heavy and clunky, btu still a hell of a lot cheaper, quicker and cleaner that soldering/brazing. I also got a jaw for cutting threaded rod which is a total lifesaver. Geberit have replaced their shitty MEPLA system for the New Flo Fit and it's actually pretty good - two jaws for the whole range, and the smaller jaws go up to 40mm.
