    Forum updates, feedback system and new versions

    By Arnie

    Firstly I'm going to try to document forum updates and other work completed to the site here in my forum blog. This will keep all the forum related updates in one place.   I've completed several updates to the forums today. We're now running the latest IPS versions for Gallery and Blog. There should be several bug fixes and feature adjustments with these new versions; I don't get a list I'm afraid or I'd publish it.   I've also taken comments on the trading system on board and we now have a

One week on...

...and I've barely recovered had the messiest night in years at one of the best clubs in the world as far as I'm concerned, only marred by the sonofab*tch who stole my wallet at about 6am, but hey. What can you do?   Apparently, hammering roller shutters with feets elbows and fists, is, while on a perfectly valid list of possibles, not one the police are keen to endorse. I didn't get arrested but I was told to stop - it was a damn good thing I had enough sense left in me to not go off the han

Bingo !

Now there's a surprise - not.   As predicted, today the idea of buying the car I was all excited about went down the poop chute.   To keep it brief, the car was not what the dealer said it was. I told him this, which was at first met with a flat "you are wrong". After a little back and forward "oh no it isn’t" / "oh yes it is" type banter, I finished with me explaining it wasn't and explaining why.   Anyhoo, I left somewhat ###### off that we drove ~70miles to find that out, but to be fair

Lining up for disappointment ?

Today has been a bit different to usual.   For starters I didn't stay in bed until sometime in the later hours of the afternoon, a rarity for me as I am very much the anti morning person. A lack of lectures on a Friday now really does encourage this.   I took a trip to the bank, and took out £500. I then took a trip to the post office, and took out £2k. (Cue an odd look at the PO lady and a polite request for an envelope when she went to hand 100 20's bundled but otherwise uncontained acros

It your Birthday, alleluia, 'coz its ya Birthday..

"Week off to go holiday, go holiday in sunshine sunshine, sunnyshine, wanna week orff go 'oliday and wannit naowww!!!" said I to my superiors in the main office, which led to my immediate removal from company property - probably on compassionate grounds - and, by a roundabout way, my requested holiday. Well it was sort-of like that in my head, anyway.   Taking a week off work to go nowhere was not what I intended but after discovering the total travesty that is `last minute` holidays (they st

Im selling some things, please buy them !

Help me boost car buying funds, buy stuff I’m selling   Accu-shot BT04 Monopod   TAS (PPM) Medial First-aid Pouch (MFP) in OD   Nothing like a little bit of advertising, not that I doubt my blog is holding much of your attention   In all seriousness though, if anyone is interested in buying either, it would be most handy. The reason in a bit more detail being, I am currently looking at a particular car. I was reasonably content with looking at the SE version. A limited edition then pop

New Moral Choices.

Materialism.   A dirty word according to most hippies and lefties, just like `capitalist` apparently means something akin to `neo-nazi` if you listen to most university students and all these self-proclaimed `Liberals` who have nothing in common with the working classes (notable in the fact that hardly any of them ever do any work!) yet are willing to champion the rights of just such a group from the comfort of their city apartments or their family's second homes. Such is the focus of my irri

Cars

Its gone 3:30am, and I have decided that insurance grouping & actual quotes for me are seemingly completely random to one another.   2.0 Primera GT more to insure than a 2.8 Golf VR6 - Whiskey Tango Foxtrot ?   Someone out there is having a giraffe !   Airsoft type stuff posted soon.   That is all.

Over 5,000 Pageviews!

Now I'm not normally one to gloat ( ) but yeah, I have been eagerly waiting for that little statistic to roll over, and I must say I'm quite chuffed, especially as the blog isn't linked in my signature anymore. But this is just background detail; whats important is how things are shifting in accordance with the Brownian motion of life at the moment -   The Global Adventure! .... hasn't even been planned yet. And wont be for some weeks, maybe even a couple months because it needs to be done wi

Airsoft ?

So yeah, things have been a little slack on the blog update front after the initial flurry. That sparseness comes mainly courtesy of exam revision taking up a fair amount of my time over the last week (and set to do so for the next few days) before the last one this coming Tuesday. As usual it has been precisely 0% fun, but it has to be done and 2/3 over and sorted isn’t all that bad.   Airsoft/beer token wise, next week should technically be the end of the temp job contract I started back on

Winter Blues = Miserable Sod 'hippy :P

Holy freakin' sh** - things are somewhat hectic of late.   Right, this is by way of explanation to those guys who may be wondering why I haven't posted off the stuff I've sold immediately, and generally because I'm feeling just a little bit snowed-under and have an awful lot of stuff on my mind.   Also I need to vent my spleen because stuff is a little difficult at the moment so if you don't want to hear a grown man whinging then stop reading right now     Lets begin at the beginning - J

The mysteries of Men revealed! Maybe.

This is no way invalidates my previous entry by the way I still want all you buggers to buy my entire arsenal from me!!   But I found a writing site, helium - http://www.helium.com/ - and this question caught my eye:   "Why men seem to only look for physical beauty." And I then indulged myself and anyone willing to read my thoughts with everything written in blue below   Now before article I would just like to mention how deeply, deeply ironic it is that I have a pretty good grasp of

Complete Turnaround.

Okay I jumped the gun on the girl, major, major, major bummer. Things are totally up for debate when she gets back and unfortunately this makes me a sad hippy. *fruitcage* dreadful behaviour on my part assuming things were all sweetness and light even after a six-month break, so..... things they are a-changing, namely: I'm selling my entire collection and going off to see a bit of the world on the proceeds myself. Avoiding India completely   So how the hell do I sell over a hundred airsoft gu

Krylon is go !

That’s right, soon my VSR will once again be krylon coated and at a state where it is almost finished - I’d say it is about 80% complete at the moment.   Having given up with dpmhi due to email contact issues and their being out of stock of both OD & khaki krylon for some time, Airsoft World (*albatross*) had my custom and four cans of krylon are currently winging their way to me courtesy of next day postage.   The choices I now have to make are a bit more tricky, namely whether or not t

Its all about me, you see.

Wow didn't I have a great weekend? Well did I? Well yes I did. Well, I'll just talk to myself for the next few hours shall I? Hmm yeah I an see where this is going - straight to that section of society to whom the word `sectioned` is best applied. Probably best to share, then -   I've been going climbing every week with this girl called Sarah, for a few months now; we actually went to school together but practically never spoke at that time, we bumped into each other at the start of the Summe

MP5K - sorta complete, but not that sweet

As mentioned in prior posts (forums & blog entries), I bought myself an MP5K along with some upgrade bits and a recently released gen2 CA metal body. The upgrade parts were for the most part excellent, though I would probably steer clear of the Guarder metal bushings in the future. They are well made but are not particularly tight fitting (At least in this TM V3 gearbox).   Anyway, onto the main point of this entry - feedback on the CA metal body for those interested. Overview - not at all

Pure English Brilliance

I dunno how much of this I'll actually get away with, as these are the opinions of my good friend Christopher ; or, `CrispyFur` as he has been known to us for a few years, due to his alledged plushy fetish (ewwwww...) that we insist he has and he usually insists he has too. This says something about the guy, but not as much as this email I received from him not 10 minutes ago:   `Saw the definitions for 'British' on some online dictionary that included such doosies as:     british:

Planet Earth is one big Cliche!

Hey guys: good Christmas and New Year? Yeah me neither... actually nope, its all good in truth, but I've just got a bit of a cold and I'm allowing it to get me down a bit. And I failed an interview in London last Wednesda, one that I really needed to get in order to get my mortgage sorted out, so my career plans are being rewritten again from scratch; which gives me a lot more options and suchlike so really, its all good; doors closing in one place inevitably open a few more somewhere else.

This is a cheat.

This is me cheating, because I am fed up with seeing my signature have such a stupid bloody phrase in it, and I'm fed up with knowing that my last post was just a drunken ramble. I've got 3 more articles coming soon, and those are just the ones I already know about so if I can get some time tomorrow at work (quiet Saturday, pweeeeeaaaase!!!) and I can maybe get some photos too (which one of the little articles really requires) then I should be able to flood you all with yet more nonsensical wh

The end is nigh

Well, only the end of my break from uni for the Christmas holidays, not the end of the world obviously!   Sadly, this end does mark the point at which three bad things come back into my life: - Early morning lectures - Dissertation work - January exams period   I can deal with the first one, though I really am not the morning type of person. The second one I’m not so happy with. To keep it short, my project hasn’t really gone anywhere in 12 weeks, which is worrying really given that is a

Welcome to 2007

Morning, or should that be afternoon   Last night proved once again that a new years eve house party can be both a bit pants and also very funny, the bonus being alcohol isn’t a rip off and you don’t need to get the inevitably expensive and large rounds in either   It has to be said that fortunately I’m not feeling too bad thanks to the choice of rum & coke for the evening, despite drinking about 2/3 of the bottle. I doubt the same will be said for some of you this morning   More imp

'K prep continues

Once again Ehobby impress me.   Previous orders with them have taken the approximate listed 7 or so day period for delivery. That being without the offered "expedited" shipping option as I haven’t yet bought anything from them I have needed that urgently (Oh and because I’m trying to save money where possible for a change )   The order placed about a fortnight ago gave me quite the surprise when it turned up only two days after shipping. It certainly seemed that the postal service timings h

Well, why not eh

Hey all, Yup, time for me to jump aboard the blog bandwagon. That is having finally got round to actually asking for one (Cheers Arnie), perhaps aptly close to the start of a new year.   I'll avoid the probably obvious starter of a recap of the year’s events in relation to me, other than to say that 2006 almost put a complete damper on my airsofting due to serious cash issues and the VCRB. Thankfully for now at least both money and the state of airsoft in the UK both seem to be looking more p

The Meaning of Life........

Ok, well it's been almost a fortnight since I asked Arnie for and received approval for blog space. And what do I have to show?   nada, zilch, squat, bupkiss   Now I could blather on about how it's not even my fault- that the two times that I sat down and put pen to paper...er uh fingers to keyboard, that great mysterious cloud that seems to be shadowing Arnies that makes the website vanish in mid-upload and forever delete posts before they arrive safely at their forum destination is to b
