Announcing: The Smith & Wesson Collection!

Wow, 'Hippy got some actual Airsoft stuff to talk about, huh?? Yeah I know its been lacking lately, despite the purchases I have actually been making (I did mention that WA Beretta Scoremaster I got, didn't I? Well its beautiful, so there ).   So now I have some truly wonderful news; thanks to the mighty Snowman (No, not my local Coke-dealer ) I will finally have one of the guns I had forever written off as unattainable - the much-prized and highly sought-after Maruzen Skorpion, A.K.A. the

M4: serial rape victim.

You'd think she would learn by now, wouldn't you?   Maybe a can of Tactical RIS-Capable Mace would be of better use than another knockoff surefire and a fake PEQ box ....   Lemme clarify, its your gun, you're more than welcome to stick any amount of tactical equipment to it that you like, and I do rape the hell outta some of my guns anyway so I can't exactly take the `moral high ground` in this issue, if indeed there actually is one. Mine are only for display and silliness though, like the

The Anti-Religionator: read with an open mind...

In response to this post of mine: edit: Hah!! Its been deleted! So I guess there are plenty of people who can't handle any anti-religious commentary here Well tough s*** because it's not going anywhere, if people can link to Christian sites in their signatures and proclaim their messages of faith (i.e. atempting to enforce their beliefs on others, the classic religious bully-boy tactic) then I can damn well do the same.   Anyway - in response to a post I made about religions being handy tax

Ritalin, or Cashcard & Scissors?

Another forumite in the form of Shard (hey Dave ) from came round last night, and it has thrown my dozy, minute attention span into sharp relief.   Halfway through taking an RK-104 into pieces I was, to be quite honest, losing interest in the whole shebang, and for no good reason. We were there to try and fix the bloody accuracy on it and see whats what with the weirdness, but, like everything I do to entertain meself, I found my mind wandering and I was not as engaged in the process as I sh

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

Happy Hippy Birthday :D

Yup its the big four-oh for me - in 16 years time Yes I am now technically 24, my word, only 16 years until I'm 40? Sh*t, I really hadn't thought of it like that before   Oh well, according to the last entry it doesn't matter anyway, so lets just get on with things with a smile, a wave, and the occasional little boogie and a few healthy sups of `that ol' Janx spirit` to lubricate the passage ( )   In the latest thing from the world of airsoft - I am nearing the completion of my collec

Century!

Holy ###### I made it to 100! Well isn't that nice.   Taking a break from all things airsoft as I have been these last few days then I've not pondered much on the blog, but there are a couple of things I'm still gonna eulogise about.   What, you didn't think you were getting away without a rant, did you??   Saw V for Vendetta myself last night, (**SPOILERS COMING**) and I did rather like it. The faked torture of Natalie Portman was oh-so predictable, but still cool to see her head gett

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

Straight past your nose and turn left at the elbow

Bloody London cabbies, right? They are famed throughout the country (`nay, even the world!` according to the gushings of the olympic planning committee ) for their unrivalled knowledge of the cit streets.   Even apart from this, you would imagine that the coppers who are on guard duty at the bloody houses of freakin' parliament would know their way around the immediate area of the City, would you not?   Evidently not, as it happens, because we were sent in many directions other than the c

Gunsmithing For Dummies

After a long, long time in limbo, I am more or less satisfied that I have a final plan for my battered old Marui MP5 SD5. My first homemade custom gun; Woo, and veritably yay!!   The stock went to someone else a while ago as I knew this had to be a short gun as soon as I realised it had to be modified, and my amazingly cunning, although horribly disfiguring, previous plan of keeping a giant battery hidden inside an upturned MC51 large battery handguard sitting on the top of the thing has bee

Arrrr, me toiling, work-weary hearties!

So I'm sitting here, drunk, awash upon a sea of uneasy feelings swelled with only barely considered regret, head arest upon a body of uneasy stomach and swimming headlong against the tides of heartburn which even now lap against the tainted walls of my poor, ailed internals. Poetic I may be feeling, entirely shameless I am not. Drunkeness become me so, however. I feel I owe something to drunkeness to record my thoughts at this time.   Considering the pomposity of the previous paragraph it is

Is there an echo in here, or was it that grenade?

I'm echoing Ghost_Rider's feelings about blanks here as I was subjected to a similar treat yesterday. (woohoo)   After a great skirmish, a mate playfully chucked a grenade at my feet, thinking - in my elated post-skirmish state - that he was chucking it over to check it out I stooped down to pick it up. Barely were my fingers within 12 inches from it and it went off, a 12-bore blank delicately traced my earlobes and soothingly ruptured my very eardrum, nervous system, brain and underwear, in

Emo Vs Goth: who would win/cry first?

Clearly the Emo would cry first, goths are hard-as-nails; up until the point they lose their nail-varnish or you switch the light on.   Okay, so feel free to hate me, but I have every right to mock seeing as I used to be a "goth" (I was about 16) and although the term didn't exist at the time, I had decidedly "emo" tendencies every now and then (every week) within that whole sphere of `gothdom`.   Of course, a far simpler way to put it would be to say "I was 16 once".   Not that all 16

Happiness Becomes You.

I'm just a bit miffed about something on the radio this morning; apparently the 24th of Janruay is widely believed to be the most depressing day of the year.   To whoever thought of making that public: f**k off mate, you couldn't think of anything else to do that day? Most people won't feel any better tomorrow just because its not today, but they might well feel a bit worse now that you've told them they probably should. Asshat.   So I say b*ll*cks to that, have a free smile on me and m

Coming soon...

After trying to make a sandwich, I am apparently unable to make a basic gun display either I carved off the end of my left thumb on Friday night while under the illusion it was a piece of pepper. Tequila can do that to a man.   So my promise of a basic display for a pistol or two didn’t happen yet because one of my thumbs doesn't work properly – but I discovered its not bloody easy to do with nowt but a cardboard box to your name!   Other people might have assumed that much anyway, but of

Appealing, huh...?

How tricky it is to write these blog thingies, I wish people would at least gimme some feedback here! This is just a quick note to say: please appreciate the effort that goes into writing entries here; most of my posts are the best part of 1000 words and that’s a fair bit of typing, proofing, editing etc. I do this purely for the fame of course (oh fame! Rapture!) but, actually in truth, mostly so some o’ youse guys has sumthin’ to read from a fellow airsoftaholic when you get into work in the

Wet weekend.

Holy be-Jesus it was possibly the worst possible idea on paper: spend a weekend at a morris-dancing festival with a party comprising 4 couples and then muggins here all on his lonesome, on a soaking wet weekend in the middle of an incredibly expensive period when I really shouldn't have spent £160 in 2 days on beer and burgers.   Yet that is what I did, and it was rather a lot of fun actually.   Apart from having to shame-facedly return to the pub the morning after the night before, where I

R.S.V.P. - I bloody dare you.

Okay I am a little officially pi**ed off now - this blog is getting harder and harder to devote any time to, and I see that I'm not exactly alone in thinking this, judging by the paucity of my fellow blogger's input lately. I get where you're coming from guys; for what do we bother contributing anything?   Does anyone else out there in Interwebland remember in the film Die Hard, just after the sleazy sales guy called Ellis gets one between the eyes from Hans Gruber (Mmmmm, H&K P7 goodness

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

Oops, I did it again.

I was looking for how I had managed to smash a lightbulb this morning ...... after a 4-pack of Grolsch and a bottle of half-decent white wine on a Tuesday night I usually find myself looking for quite a few things.   Sobriety being one of them, an appetite being the other main one.   I was blatantly still p*ssed walking to work this morning, I would have been run down at the traffic lights if the usual thing had happened where some impatient sod runs the red light, thankfully though the g

ARSSES. What an appropriate moniker.

Intolerant squaddies with IQs below 100? perhaps.   Heres's my thought for them. Lets see if they can actually discuss it, or will they just dismiss it without addressing any of my points? I think we all know whats gonna happen   Wonder why no-one wants to join the ranks of sub-par intelligence disrespectful thug squaddies anymore     http://www.arrse.co.uk/cpgn2/Forums/viewto...start=2190.html     And I said; "Ahhh yes, hello!!

Yeah I'm gonna put pictures into this one, like it or lump it, suckas!   Look I just happened to take the camera with me & I thought you might like to see some pictures of some nice, relaxing *cough-dull-cough* boats & stuff, awight?   I'm just a sl*t for posting pictures now I know how to go about it, thats all   I'm most chuffed with the end result of the Giveaway Bonanza, largely because I've managed to send off 23 parcels - including 2 to Europe, 3 to the USA and 1 to good

Grave Robber

If anyone else has wondered if the new Tomb Raider: Legends game is any good, then read ye on, for I have acquired it simply out of curiosity because as far as I'm concerned the original was the best and most involving game of its day. I don't do RPGs and never have done, but for adventure and exploration there was none finer than Ms Croft and `the twins`….     I'm talking about her matched pistols, of course. You filthy-minded sods; get your head out of the gutter     From the styling o

War on Freedom

http://portland.indymedia.org/en/2005/08/323417.shtml Boy am I glad I don't party over there...   As it happens this is common in all heavily populated areas, and the degree of police terror and force grows exponentially as the size of the population base increases. Why terror tactics and highly unnecessary force like this is used on private property at legal gatherings in the middle of a garden state like Utah may be explained by the entries below, commenting on the various alledged factors.

Abstinence in the face of Absurdity.

I've been getting out of airsoft for about 4 months now. Strange as this may seem, but I do actively try and spend as little time thinking about it as I conceivably can, although at the moment this is by definition a process I find counterintuitive because I use the interest and the buzz (you all know what I mean ) of buying and planning new gear, and adding or creating whole collections, to escape from the unwarranted stress and unnecessary overesponsibilities of work when we are busy (which i
