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. All I can say is that I hope Jason isn't reading this because I just bought (well, yesterday) his birthday present and that lucky ###### is gonna be receiving a Classic Army CQBR with a battery for the Crane stock as well

 

Now the the saying goes that `discretion is the better part of valour`, but I never pretended to be valiant; just passably courageous and only just about respectably discreet; so I will unhesitatingly tell you all how much I spent on that muddyfunster this year - or actually I wont but its a bloody CQBR with a custom battery, plus shipping from Hong Kong - and bear in mind that he's getting other stuff as well.

 

That boy don't know how good he's got it hehehehe: in truth the poor sod has put up with all the weird s**t I've being doing for the past decade, I think he's earned it.

Well I find myself happy to ramble about nothing very much now, I think mentioning how little time I have at this time of year to blog stuff has made me feel happier about spending some time on it, which is one of those paradoxes that permeate the existence of the enlightened (or rather semi-enlightened, or partially enlightened - I can hardly claim to be in Nirvana yet) which is a result of all this wonderful reading I have been doing.

That NLP stuff really does make you think differently, I have been having the weirdest dreams the last week and thats one thing that is first highlighted as a result of the reading.

 

Its all about how your brain organises information it seems, and by reading things in a certain way and in certain patterns then the language centres of yo' noggin process things differently from the norm. But this is in itself an intentional distraction from the real substance of that stuff, which is to alter behaviour through some very interesting kinds of therapy. But I digress (again) - this is in the `airsoft` heading, so lets prattle on about guns for a while.

 

I've been collectiong shorties and compacts recently, almost unconsciously in fact, and I took delivery of a pair of very nice little pieces last week. In its briefest form I can simply say that the Tanaka M36 Chief's special and the Western Arms

1934 Beretta with black pearl grips are lovely little guns, both very much worthy additions to an increasingly satisfying arsenal.

 

In particular the M1934 is great - the grips are very wide (I think this is unique to the pearl-gripped editions) and fit the hand fantastically, far better than such a tiny gun by all rights should, and the action is refreshingly different.

Notably the mag release requires a bit of dexterity and the use of 2 fingers simultaneously to push the baseplate rearwards and pull the mag out using the finger extension, much like the Ruger Mk1 but smoother, easier, and generally more pleasing in every way.

 

On top of that the safety lever manually rotates hemispherically (ooh, posh words ) to engage the slide by actually becoming the slide lock by means of a notch on one edge, a feature unique among airsoft guns so far as I am aware, and it makes for a bit more thought about the operation and drill of usage than every other GBB I have.

 

It shoots well on abbey Ultra gas, and is accurate enough for me to consistently switch light switches on and off at a range of about 12 feet, which is not only cute, but impressve!!

Thats about all for that front then. In other news I'm a busy dude the next few weeks - this Barbecue I've been planning has gone totally insane and now involves metal tripods for supporting the spit, 26 kilos of piggy to roast, and 140+ pints of ale to be consumed, fresh from the casks that they'll be delivered in All in all its shaping up to be a helluva good 'un But much more on that to come, I guarantee it...

 

 

Worth a look: This guy is my hero: I had enough lego to suffocate a rhino when I was a kid, if I could have made stuff like this then I wonder if I would have turned out any different…. http://www.fashionerfilms.com/05design/cro...crossbow001.htm

 

 

music suit insanity - http://www.pjotro.com this is the site to make the tunes yourself and it seems a lot more, well, `real` on the website as that studio oddness did seem rather staged….
