I ain't that easy, love!

Just thought I'd pen a quick line or two about the results of that date, and the one tonight as well that has just ended. My god I'm pleased with myself not going for a girl just because, well, she's a girl   Having noticed how unenthusiastic she is about everything bar her own narrow preconceived field of recreation, and how condescending she can be about pretty much anything, especially about any personal details of mine that come up in the conversation, I can happily say that I am gonna be

Tanaka Redeemed - M700 A.I.C.S. FTW dudes...

Good things come to those who wait, and I've waited long enough. I figured a good thing or two was on the cards and my prayers have been answered (thanks, Satan) and the M700 AICS was finally re-released by Tanaka. Thank *fruitcage*. Now I don't have to buy an APS2 Type96 bloody spring rifle and throw another £250 at it just to make it almost as good as this   Incidentally, I'm actually writing most of this up from an internet cafe for which I am paying by the hour just to bring you the wonde

Assault & Battery II

Woah - Arnies bloggers seem to be breeding or something (an idea I take umbrage with seeing as I ain't getting any action from it ) as bo0mer (what? Changed his name? Oh, right ) Sorry, Belladonna has joined the bloglist, as has the Mighty Moderating Powerhungry Ranger that is R22Master. Welcome, gentlemen, welcome indeed   Hmm. Less than 24 hours until I have a Tanaka M700 AICS in my inevitably sweaty fisties. MMMMmmm-MMmmm yessirey, thats gonna make me into one big-*albartroth* real-life

A Case of Guilty Conscience.

I'm going to the Amazon rainforest in Brazil (mostly) and I will be the happiest mutherf***er in the world once I am there. This is a clear statement of fact because this is a dream I've been longing for and carefully nurturing for years; and I'm going on a preliminary trip, before Christmas with a bit of luck, to scout the area and general scenery out (or possibly the other side of South America through Bolivia and parts of Peru, as it happens).   This may have something to do with airsoft y

One Step Programme

Anyone with knowledge (whether remembered or reminded) that they have done some, if not all the things this guy does, while drunk at an office party or official function or any kind of formal situation, guiltily raise your hands now..     http://www.cracked.com/modules.php?op=modl...article&sid=729     Aw, man. I don't do that right now at the moment, and its reassuring to know that after watching it But yeah, I have my hand raised high and its handy to have something like that to r

The Parcel Farce Charm Offensive

Did I say charming? Yeah, and I actually meant it as well, which may come as a surprise but I have come to the opinion of late that the old buggers at ParcelForce really aren't that bad - of all the horror stories I have heard I have never had any of the relevant problems myself, and to be honest I think a lot of it simply comes down to how you deal with them: I always get what I want by being polite and very pleasant, but obstinate enough to get what I want to happen, happen..   Last Thursd

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

Wandering Weekender

Madness - why is it that when you have one really good prospect for an evening's entertainment about a dozen more turn up to contest it's worthiness?? This weekend seemed to be the very definition of selective socialising. I decided to go with the rarest in all cases just so I had something new under my belt, as it were. This breadth of experience now includes fishing. Fancy that.   I never saw the point of fishing; you can sit for hours by the side of a large body of water with a bit of l

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

*Sigh* Women.

***DISCLAIMER: Men have their problems too, don't get me wrong, but they don't control people just to prove that they can control people.***   Still no camera since the boss lost our last one, so no real meat of a review to be done on the SW1911 DX, which is a shame because its a rather lovely gun. Even more lovely is the Beretta Scoremaster I snagged on the same delivery, and paid £100 in lovely HMR&C's `enjoyment taxes`, as I like to think of them But more on theses as I can actually

Work, Schmirk!

So its that time of the year again, all the kids are off school (the lucky little ingrates ) and because of the trade we are in these days; our customers mostly being homeowners who're also family couples, or landscapers working for the more affluent homeowners/family couples; and with the kid's annual 6-week sortie into the regrettably less-than-hostile territory of their parent's wallets underway, most of these venerable progenitors have clutched sprogs by their sticky mitt's and whisked them

Tanaka in: `Terribly-Made Gun` Shocker!

**[Quote of the day: "You can't polish a turd" - A saying often imparted in the circles in which I work, being as they revolve largely around the evaluation of fitness for re-use of various materials and artifacts.]**   Note the use of the singular form in the title there, even though, technically, they have made several naff guns. Their problem in this area is a simple one of evolution; to get to a point of true greatness it is necessary to be, at various points in time before this, rather

Terms & Conditions.

O-kay, here comes the big pinch. Its day one of my year of alcohol abstinence, and although I have a couple of safety valves built in (hence the titular `Terms and Conditions`) this is gonna be one hell of a weird/interesting/challenging/enlightening/frustrating [delete as appropriate/implausible/unmentionable] few months...   I have devised a simple set of rules, the simplest one being: I must choose not to drink at all times. I allowed myself an external factor in this year in the form of

The Lowdown: Marushin's Folly?

I typed about half of this as a reply in a PM to questions about the different available Marushin Derringers, but it seemed useful enough for everyone so here it is (adjusted and blogified to be more betterer, like )   I would have got back to the guy yesterday; I had the reply typed out, twice in fact, then had a power failure both times before I finished - damned parents using their dodgy old chainsaw and hedgetrimmer at the same time. Silly, silly 'rents... Right -   The difference b

Toyz in tha Hood

I remember playing a Megadrive game called Dynamite headdy, and one of the levels (being based on toys and suchlike) went by the same name as this post. Memorabilia In Memoriam Memorandum (more emphasis on the random), eh? Ahhh...   Anyway: I seem to have acheived another simple, short term goal in that I will soon have my grubby mitts on a Thompson M1A1, a Tanaka Browning Hi-Power (in a fetching shade of silver, no less), another Tanaka in the form of an SAA detachable cylinder in 4.75" flavo

You care? No. You listen anyway...? ;)

Has anyone ever got drunk from/while/after drinking Castlemaine XXXX? Seriously, anyone? Anyone at all?   I sat down one day when I was living up in Yorkshire and drunk a whole case of the stuff, no kidding, a whole regular-sized case of 24 cans, on my own, in about 5/6 hours. I finished it by about 5pm (hey, drinking starts as soon as you awake in the student world ) and walked out of my house and round to my mate's place nearby and spent the evening drinking & smoking and had a totally

Posts of Guilt & Glory

So I'm feeling slightly kind of guilty, in a way, that I haven't done much here but I haven't had time, simple as.   I will say things like this will I'm here, though:   That Barbecue I mentioned a while ago, whew boy, did that go down well!! It was a success to the point of excess, and everyone who was there had an exceptionally good time, they really did and I've had a few people hear about it who weren't there come and see me and mention how much the folks from whatever social group they

The BBQ man cometh

Ah yes, barbecue season.   My first barbecue of the year, however, is a rather grander affair than usual - so far it involves about 40-50 people, we have two spit roasted pigs (and I've made the full-size spit roast myself and welded it all up with my Brother just for the purpose!) for food, a custom-made brick barbecue at about 4-foot in height just for the spit roast, 4 smaller barbecues to cook all the steaks, kebabs, burgers and fish, 2 marquees, a bunch of high-powered halogen lights for

Obligatory World Cup post.

Now I was gonna be really clever and annoying and mention this song about 3 weeks ago when I first heard about it, but now I can't pre-empt the release and you'll just have to believe me when I say I know the guy behind it, or rather, his daughter.   So this guy sat down one day and thought "We need a World Cup song, it'll make some money and be a good little chant for the fans - this promising jingle came in from a club owner the other week we could use that, hold on a mo' while I just call F

Sporadic Schematic

In the absence of anything interesting to write about, I'm gonna blog about my whingy personal life like all those pr**ks on myspace   Well maybe just a bit.

....but anyway;

Yes it is that time of year again, the one where we all pretend that the sun is shining and all is sweetness and light Yes its the British summertime once more and once more most people have failed to notice it. Its one of those British institutions I guess - but t least the garden's getting watered; buts what's that I hear you say?

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.

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

Is nothing sacred?

Hmmm well okay, here is a situation you may find familiar if you import from abroad:     You;   Order stuff. Wait for stuff. Track stuff online - all looks good and nothing mentioned about customs whatsoever. Stuff arrives within days!! Yay!! It came by either UPS, TNT or FedEx...... You carry on with your life for a MONTH, and then; You receive a VAT bill that you couldn't plan for, and is tantamount to theft anyway.

M1 Garand & Co.

Another evening of beer, guns & sinful pizza ( *sigh * I’m never gonna lose this excess weight am I Happily enough however, for the time being it doesn’t matter, so until it does I can safely gorge myself and drink until I pass out every night ).   Mmmm sinful pizza, `sacrelicious`….. http://evilpundit.com/archives/012021.html   Incidentally, that article provoked a big debate over e-mail between my friends today, one of whom finished it with the rather excellent;   “It's time w
