The other ones were too rude

Ever wondered what a Smart Car looks like if you plough it into a concrete wall at 70mph? Well Tiff Needell obviously did, and it looks a bit like this:   http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6605730767077503480   Overall, I must say I am impressed; the little blighters can take a fair wallop!! Mostly because they weigh so little, I'm sure, but it's all good for the driver (although maybe they should have simulated the weight of a driver in with it...?)   I can send no more of the

Rage Against The Machine

French Connection U.K. - ing computers, goddamn them and their spawn unto the 71st generation; sometimes it's almost, almost like I could forfeit all of their benefits for the lack of stress not ever using one entails. They wind me up that much.   Of course, then I wouldn't be able to show off all my toys to you guys so I guess I'll have to battle through with it   Also I must mention here; for the sake of not going off on yet another tangent and losing a good thread; that the titular b

If something's worth Doing it's worth OverDoing.

That's been my philosophy for years now, and is the reason I have a bit of a drink problem. Happily, though, this also continues into airsoft and is the reason for my quite sizeable collection.   You gotta take the rough with the smooth, eh?   It all started with the clubbing scene; got into that at the age of about quite-some-years-younger-than-I-should-have-been and ended up with a fondness for all kinds of things-that-I-shouldn't-have-been-allowed (although I am the first to admit it

Too many guns?

Sometimes I think about my collection and think "Oh dear god, I really cannot be bothered to like these things any more" Really, I do. It almost becomes an effort to give a damn about it all and, if I'm being perfectly honest, the forums here are the only thing that keeps me going in the world of airsoft sometimes.   Now maybe, just perhaps-maybe-ish, my interest is renewed mostly out of a sense of greed, one-upmanship and arrogance. Just maybe.   I won't deny that I look at the boards

Education Education Edu..Whatnow?!

A mention here for my father and all people like him: he was a devoted teacher for 37 years. Now, there is a widespread belief out there in the public domain that teachers are some alien breed of sadists or are simply inept, at best, purposefully and maliciously intent on disrupting people's youths, at worst.   The sad fact is that, in my reasonable experience and knowledge, there is slight justification for even the most negative extremes, and a fair bit of evidence that seems to corrobor

Grand Theft Auto: Hampshire

Well, it certainly would provide me some good few hours of entertainment; marching through West Quay shopping centre blowing up all the virtual `Claire's Accesories`-style boutiques, wasting hundreds of digitally recreated So'ton chavs, and finally obliterating that goddamned misery-peddling McDonalds on the top floor.   Not ever going to happen, sadly, yet despite this apparent rage towards humanity I would only ever take pleasure in doing it `pretend`; in a simulated computer generated env

Battery Shenanigans

One thing I really get wound up about are my poxy bloody batteries. I thought that ithe situation of cr*ppy charges would be resolved when I got my shiny new TLP charger, but nooo, that's just made me genuinely annoyed about it, because before I could lay all the blame at the feet of the fact that I didn't have an automatic, or `smart`, charger.   I'm going back to a plug & wire jobby, I swear.   The damn thing failed completely (failed I tell you failed!!! Ahem.) failed, I say, to ev

I'm so happeee! Oh so happeee! *murders bunny*

On the plus side: I now have a Classic Army M249. Also on the plus side I got Dog Soldiers last night and watched that again, rather a good film and I always do like Sean Pertwee's sarcastic and amusingly vulgar roles.   On the down side, I broke my 3-day abstainance from booze to celebrate the arrival of the Minimi, and ended up with a head full of swirly C2H6OH brain-stabbing vengeance upon waking this morning.   Hangovers do not a happy worker bunny make; send in the poachers and take t

Honour bound to kill you.

It is a truly great thing when you are genuinely happy to die. It means you are content with your acheivements, satisfied of your life's efforts, and have a succesor you are proud to have as your descendant and protege. You have come to terms with your mortality and the cessation of your own brief existence can be reconciled by the knowledge of other's flourishing timelines that move forward in your wake. The acceptance that one can only acheive so much in one lifetime is, hopefully, a comfort

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

I'm not sure, but it could be the Black Velvet.

Guiness and champagne. Why not, eh? Lets take two great drinks and mash them up together, guaranteed to make us throw up all over the nearest parked car, ho-ho!! That's what I call a good saturday night!!!!   One thing: It's actually friday. Another thing: it only bloody works, y'know.   The glories of both create a substance that truly is greater than the sum of it's parts. How often do you actually find something like that? Not very, is the answer.   Try it now for the sake of y

Am I on my freakin' own here or what?

I just noticed the `latest entries` on the main blogs page are all the same damned entries as they were several days ago - c'mon people! Who cares if you've got work, or uni, or family or friends or pets or girlfriends/boyfriends; the world needs to hear you!   That part of it that both lives on Arnies and also gives a flying fruitcage what a bunch of bloggers think   There are so many things to natter about - look, I'm even nattering about the fact that you lot ain't!!   Writer'

Spoiling people's fun.

The way the government works *almost* amuses me, it's like they're serially ruining good things for enterprising people.   I work for a company that sells a lot of railway sleepers, This may seem extraneous at the present time, but bear with me. Railway sleepers were, by and large, coated in coal tar creosote when they were first manufactured, because it's a damn good preservative. It has preserved and maintained most nations garden fences for the last 100 years, for one thing.   We used

8mm goodness. For a given value of `good` - ?

I love 8mm. I really, really love it, seriously. I do not get geeky about guns that much and I don't care about the technical stats and abilities of them as much as I should I suppose, but I must say I am smitten by the things: I really am an 8mm fanboy.   It started small, as these things often do, with just about the smallest gun you can get in airsoft (if not the whole world) and that was a Derringer.   It's laughable now, but even then I loved it; loading the double breech with 2 rou

Oh, memory lane... (and a cautionary tale)

Thanks to Hardcore Mitsuko's blog entry on talent I am reminded of a similar feeling, and a little story all of my own to tell; Settle down kids, and gather round the fire with uncle Evil ....   "'Twas a dark and stormy night, and..." Bullsh*t alert, no, that's not right. Nope it's not that melodramatic, but it is quite sad (I think so anyway) - I used to draw all the time, I was well known for it; in the social circles I moved in when I was 16 to 20 or thereabouts (and there were quite a f

I had 8 squillion pints, I did.

I know I've got a bit of an alcohol problem - I don't own a pub yet!! Haha!!! - yeah that's bloody hilarious until you realise that you drink on your own so much more than you do with other people that you now start to hide the bottles from your family.   I know the signs.   I try to put the beers on show now a bit, just in case, y'know, the old man says something; like he did last week and I defended it: I defended it!! The signs, people. That's one of them.   *sips beer*   And I'

The best airsoft gun available? Kar 98 episode: 1

2nd entry in, and it's a biggie!! No apologies for length; you love it xxx     So I have a Tanaka Kar 98. Yes, you can stop hissing now (down, Sid!) but I deserve it, honest. I probably did some incredibly altruistic things in my past lives and I for one believe in retro-active Karma.   I have been having problems with it, but I still think of it/her (stopbeingsosad Hippy) as an amazing piece, easily the highest quality firing action, at least, out of all my guns.   Yet I find myself

Another fool shares his world

Evening all...   Okay, so instead of making bold statements about what this blog is meant to be and what I hope to acheive, I'll list the truth about what it'll end up becoming:   A rant about my alcoholism Airsoft musings and thinkings, mostly me saying `I could do this`, and `I could do that`. A load of self-fluffing guff about recent skirmishes A load of grievances about recent skirmishes Hopefully, believe-it-or-not, detailed notes on airsoft-related carpentry... With a bit o
