  1. Is it a school holiday? Couple of the FB groups I manage are awash with irritating children posting crap today..

      Yes, there is always a surge of kiddie posts during the holidays.  Mind you some of the illiterate / lazy adults who post instead of sending a PM, or cannot be bothered to use any punctuation or the edit tool is also frustrating at times. School is out for half term tomorrow, so expect an increase in teenager angst.

  2. Now i've got ready access to a few more sites where I am now, I might actually make an attempt at playing at a few of them, especially now i've been given all clear for all operation recovery periods 🙂

  3. Sorry for anyone who's tried to contact me in the past 3 and a bit months, been crazy busy with work (I have now got something like 20 days of TOIL accrued since 3rd Jan), wasn't intentionally blanking you.

  4. Suppose I should take photo's of the KC02 stuff i need to sell, been dithering over it for months :P

      I posted most of it up on one of the FB groups I manage, and most of the PITA bits sold within an hour (ie stuff i can't post easily)

  5. Things I ordered last week, 1 coming from 3700 miles away, the other coming from 15 miles away - Guess which arrived before the other was even shipped >.>

  6. 6 years using hobbyking, and now they are refusing to refund me £38 after they cocked up an order. Now got to wait until the 4th August to escalate the Paypal claim -.-

      Bastids - wtf happened sir, sent wrong stuff, wrong dimensions or just ripped off with moofy or no goods ???

      I don't think Hobbyking know what customer services is.

      They've refunded me now, but still won't be using them again. Basically, their system autofilled my address wrong, went to try and change it before it got shipped and got told, I needed to pay extra to do that. So I cancelled and asked for a refund, which they claimed to have done, but in fact hadn't, and only bothered to refund me when i put in the paypal dispute.

  7. Argh. Tried to replace the KC02 nozzle last night, I snapped the first spring, and overstretched the 2nd. I've literally had enough of the woes on this damn gun.

      Magpul stock is getting sold separately either way, as even Black rifles aren't getting any more in stock, and mine is still fairly close to pristine :P

  8. As Ed eloquently put it, I have epic mong-finding skills - just traded a Cyma AKS74U and 5 midcaps for a GHK G5 and 4 mags. :D

      G5 works, just needed a clean, even had a 1J nozzle in it :D

    4. GiantKiwi

      GiantKiwi

      And it was a guy at my local site after an AEG backup, he didnt like the G5 (What a fool :P ) so I obliged :)

  9. Aww Yeah, Just sourced a Magpul PTS PRS Stock for GBB in the UK! LWA, I love you :D

  10. By a complete stroke of luck with some cancelling, take 2 of my driving test is now on Friday, don't have to wait until the middle of February...WOOO!

      Good luck mate, got my first go on the 3rd of Dec!

  11. Final Prep for AI, my lift has decided on cutting down on the number of nights we freeze, so we are travelling down later tonight aiming to reach Anzio between 4 and 5am.

  12. Having to host pictures for a sales thread on the forum's own space seems rather counter intuitive. Especially, as up until now I've never had any issues with using Google Photo for hosting. Logic, there is none o.O

      If you're not posting confidential images, to which you are not, I can't see the issue with imgur. You can still delete your images etc.

       

      Anyway, the reason why it doesn't work is because there is no extension on the URL, so it looks like a page. Append .jpg (or if it was png .png etc) and it will work just fine.

      Just as an aside, as far as the UK Govt is concerned, confidential no longer exists as a Classification. Random point I know...

      Imgur was setup by a redditor for the purpose of serving stolen images without gaining consent of the original owner, even after an image is "deleted", they retain it on their servers for 6 months. Not to mention that their server reliability is pathetic. And I pay monthly for a larger data allowance for google services, so why should i ever want to use anything else? Google doesn't pre compress images before completing an upload, and all images they serve are gzipped.

  13. Holy crap, it took 11 hours to upload, but its finally done, now for youtube to process the damn video -.-

      Web Applications Developer, so a little bit of a change. Decided to make the move back to full stack.

  16. JPC arrived today, on me it looks slightly larger than a sports bra...oh well :P

  17. Just sold a load of BNIB Vector long mags for a reasonable amount of profit - today is good :3

  18. Maintenance prep for tomorrow finished (Nozzle replaced in G5, cleaned and re-lubricated every gun i'm taking, and finally fitted the Nineball gas routers to the M&P Mags) Now to sit down with a brew and find a film to watch.

      Been doing a contract that has been paying enough that i can afford to buy that from 3 days work (crazy americans seem willing to pay anything o.o)

      wonder how easy it'd be to offload were you to ever want to sell it though

    4. GiantKiwi

      GiantKiwi

      Sell it? Oh hell no. Same reason why i'll never sell my Ino M4's, they are just too nice to look at.

  21. New years resolution was to curb airsoft spending, not going to well so far, already spent more the grand in 3 weeks of the first month. And got another 500 queued up in the next few weeks, too many shiny things tempting me.

  22. Off to AI500 I go, YAY!

  23. Oh look, Zeroin moderators on a powertrip again, what a huge surprise!

    1. jcheeseright

      jcheeseright

      when you say 'on a powertrip' do you mean enforcing the rules of the board?

    2. GiantKiwi

      GiantKiwi

      They were deleting links to other retailers that have absolutely nothing to do with airsoft, just generic components, and hence would never be competitors to them, which is the stipulation of the rule. So, yes. Powertrip.

  24. Playing through Destiny today, started in the morning at Level 5, now at 17 and completed the storyline...woops.

    1. b1n0gHo5t

      b1n0gHo5t

      I like the Pve/open world stuff

      but i disapprove of the pvp..putting lvl 20+ against lvl6 is just dumb

    2. GiantKiwi

      GiantKiwi

      It's irrelevant as all level bonuses get turned off, leaving it all down to player skill.

    3. b1n0gHo5t

      b1n0gHo5t

      ...skill comes with time played so a level 6 whose played a few hours going against level 20+ who've spent alot longer playing equals to a unfair advantage

      the grouping system coul of easily been tweaked to put lower levels together and higher levels together..if the games as big as everyone says it's not like there is a lack of players to do something like that
