Had some bad news today.

A guy i've played airsoft with a fair few times was found dead in his home, he was fitter than i will ever be, yet he passed away from heart failure

Chris was a lovely guy, well liked by everyone he met and was taken far too early from this world, he will be sorely missed by the Airsoft community.

But wherever you are now Chris, rest in peace mate!!

(in the picture below, taken at the last game I played alongside him, Chris is the one in the pointy hat)

 

Well its wednesday already, and not much has been happening today. I managed to get four fence posts cemented into the ground for the new dog run and kennel area i'm making, and as per usual got attacked  by the smelly mutt as soon as I let her out of the kennel, but theres nothing new there, I for one will be glad when she can actually come indoors.

My other half Lisa (Azhrialilu) is the resident House Geek in our home, which is one step up from Dobby the House Elf in my view, as my interest for all thing web based has dwindled over the years, but much to her surprise and hilarity, I've been fiddling with Zoints an awful lot the past few days. It's pretty amazing for me to find something on the net that remotely interests me of late, but this has definately caught my eye,mainly due to its remarkable simplicity of use. Yes that statement could actually mean I am in fact a bit simple myself, and i'm sure many wouldnt argue that, but the fact remains I can actually design my own skins for it, and thats a first I can tell you.

Superman is on the TV, and I have to wonder if Sky has gone barmy, well maybe not just sky but half of these idiot production companies that are out there. They cancel some incredible shows because ratings in certain areas are a bit low, and we end up with a shit load of repeats.

Why could'nt Angel be brought back, yes I know the middle series was a bit shite, but it had just started getting good when the buggers cancelled it, now I hear malcom in the middle is on its way out. Star trek got fucked up because they ran out of ideas and decided to invent a new enterprise complete with dickhead captain and screw up the entire trek universe by making him responsible for discovering just about everything that Kirk, Picard, Sisko and Janeway discovered in later years............ stupid muppets, no wonder everyone thought it was shit.

They either go completely off track so the shows get cancelled, or they just produce crap, and its not much better in the film world, just look at king kong, it was bloody boring the first time round, who on earth thought it would be a good idea to do it all over again? Is this what things have come to, when we run out of ideas so have to re-do everything thats already been done before?

Thank the stars for Harry Potter, at least they are damned entertaining (even if she did go a bit wonky with one book).

Ah well, I guess shit happens and often, but i'll still be sitting here in front of the TV moaning about them forcing me to watch crap, when in all honesty I would probably be better off turning the damn thing off completely and finding a new hobby, but the fact is i'm too fucking lazy, so my hobby will have to remain moaning for the time being

 

Whats the point in them??

Ok on women I know they have several useful functions, but why the hell do men still have them?

Ive heard the theory that they were once used as a pacifier for offpring, which to be perfectly honest I find a little disturbing as those things grow bloody teeth!!!

I know that you can hang things from them, and in some cases that could simply be a couple of crocodile clips and a piece of string, but thats sadomashocistic and scary shit, but what other use could they have these days?

Assuming that the pacifier idea went out with the ark, or the speedboat, whichever noah actually ended up building, then why hasnt the human race evolved? I mean according to the science programs, animals have come from the water to the land and visa versa, so why cant we ditch the nipples thing, and get something a little more useful added in their place, I dont know maybe a TV remote, or a popcorn maker or even some form of self defence mechanism, like twin machine guns.

And while we're on the subject, whoever designed the human form REALLY fucked up in the testicle department, lets face it hanging them in a sack on the outside of the body was NOT a good idea, hell i'd have put them alongside the heart right behind the breastbone for a little more safety. Yes this could mean all men would end up doing a pinochio impression with their noses every time they felt horny, but it would kill two birds with one stone and save the effort of turning round after foreplay to have sex ................. although I concede the fact unless the sense of smell was relocated, this could be rather offputting for some and could lead to mass suffocation 

But anyway, I still think nipples on men are a glorious waste of effort.......... but then most women would say that men are a glorious waste of effort from head to toe, which only serves to prove what a waste of time it was inventing women, theyre a distraction, far too demanding and generally annoying....... but for some unknown reason, we men are addicted to them, damn shame these posh clinics cant wean us off that little dependecy, but then masturbating into a plastic cup for procreation would get a little boring........ even though it might have stopped me from ending up with six kids

 

Yes I'm bored, theres a surprise.

Tried watching TV, but aside from a few things I recorded on sky plus there was sod all on, ended up leaving total recal on for the umpteenth time.

Tried surfing the net, fiddled with Zoints, read the forums......... still bored.

sat here contemplating the universe, and came to the conlusion its all one big cosmic joke, with me sat in the middle of it.

still bored

 

I'm bored, I'm bored

theres nothing here to do

I'm bored, I'm bored

Whatever will I do?

 

I could sit and write a peom

I could stand and Paint the walls

I could lay down with a woman

And risk losing my balls

 

I might irritate my children

Annoy my other half

Drop fireworks in the fish tank

Or make bubbles in the bath

Take the dog outside for walkies

Throw the cat off something high

To watch its skillfull landing

While I stand and eat a pie

I know my mind is wandering

My thoughts are spinning round

I wonder at my sanity

Flying high above the ground

I'm bored, I'm bored

I have to wonder why

There must be something else to do

Or I just might have to cry

well after that strange outburst, the making bubbles in the bath option is definately looking very appealing

 

Holy shit what a weekend, Military simulation at its best

Started off laying communications between two SAM missile sites and the main CP, shit I know I work in telecoms, but i'm bloody glad I dont have to run several thousand meters of cable for every install!!!! Four field telephones later, everything is up and running and we end up relieving Joker 3 at SAM 1's location. That in itself was amusing, as the driver of the landrover found out that carrying a few too many fat bastards is not a good idea as he nearly grounded it.....lol  Not much happened whilst on defensive duty, although we did get spasmodic reports of enemy activity in our area, I led a two man patrol into a large area of woodland to our rear to make bloody sure that they were not trying to creep up behind us, all was quiet aside from myself and my compadre yomping through the ferns and undergrowth when a sodding great pheasant flew up a few feet in front of me, he nearly got himself shot in the arse, I nearly shit my pants as the bugger made me jump....lol

We ended up getting relieved a few hours later, and headed back to the CP for some scran, mind you we got absolutely fuck all to eat as Joker 3 got bumped on LRP (long range patrol) and we ended up being dragged in immediately as a QRF (quick response force), mind you, it wasnt that quick as the landrovers couldnt get back, so we had to Tab it double time to get there as fast as possible, which took a bit too long as they'd gone by the time we got there, so ended up as another LRP patrolling the entire area, and trust me....... we hit the entire area.

After a couple of hours of Patrol, we decided to make tracks back to the CP, with myself on Point (for some reason I like the job??) and i gets a fair way ahead of the rest of them, and spots the enemy to my right so goes to ground, letting the lads know what Ive seen because I wasnt quite fast enough and got spotted. The enemy sent up their point man, he hits the junction and doesnt see me, but does spot the rest of the patrol, gives out a huge yell before running back the way he came, needless to say he didnt make it, and my squad (joker 5) shot up their patrol somewhat.

About ten minutes passes, and they've still got one man dug in, its not worth us pursuing him for several reasons, one of which is fat lads dont fight well on empty stomachs, so we AGAIN decide to head back to the CP................ you guess it, we never made it. Joker 4 hits the track 80 yards ahead of us, with news of a large force in the area, theyd been sent as back up as we had lost coms. We head across country and met up with a lone wolf, who confirms the enemy activity heading toward SAM site one, we heads in that direction and five minutes into the pursuit caught the tail end charlie of this force, trouble is, due to the numbers encountered, we engaged thinking we'd found the entire force.......... how wrong were we, and all ended up getting the crap shot out of us when the rest heard the fire and doubled back, who knew we'd be outnumbered so badly  Tabbed back to the CP finally for that promised scran, and a well deserved brew........ took my boot off only to feel my ankle go Kaput, and boy did it go Kaput.......guess what, that took me out the rest of the weekend but who cares, I still had a good time

I fooking Love Airsoft
