I remember when in HK back in 2006 the jaunt through the PLA base on some tour of the area. Very strict looking and we were told to keep away from photographing them. Didn't help that we had a couple of loud mouth Americans that just couldn't go by without having to vocally express how 'wrong' they find the way the PLA works. Because the US Military has the cleanest record ever . Also it is one of those days were work has gone by very, very quickly. This makes me happy. 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
Lone_Bullet Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 What made me smile? We won. ^^ Though massive kudo's to the U.S.A. for bringing us SUCH a great game! It was awesome 'till the last minute. And I'm not even a fan of football/soccer. Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 Yay, the Belgians are doing well, guess that will be the topic of the next work social due to the heads of the company being in Diegem. So glad it is a Scottish and not an English company as then everyone joins over the fact England lost rather than argue about it . 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Just found little 'notes' inside the chocolates that someone brought to work (some Cote d'Noir things). It claimed that "stress would be easier if it was wrapped in chocolate". Personally I think stress would be easier if it was helped along by an attractive, uninhibited woman but clearly they couldn't put that right? But I am sure I will find someone that the above can apply to. Just thought I would share this pointless bit of info as it oddly made me smile. 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
sandstorm Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 FireKnife, you know, I wouldn't take the stress that would come with an attractive, uninhibited woman. For one, you never know who else she is stressing with if she's THAT uninhibited. And worst case scenario, the 'stress' comes in form of very conservative male family members with large-bore farming implements, pig farm, lime pit and quarry... Link to post Share on other sites

Eh, that is all part of the fun is it not? However I do seem to have moments were I find a woman that fits me well enough, soemthing happens (I move usually) and that is it then have about a few weeks to a month of looking, one week of not and then back to finding someone again. It's a bloody vicious cycle that I need to get out of. Stupid women and there attraction bits. 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
Habakure Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Go a-sexual, problem solved (yes, that is an overtly generalisation of a real sexual group. It's for humor not an actual real solution). More bacon today, with tuna mayo and one round of toast. Nice. Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 I would mention something about my personal lfe related to that but perhaps not here . Though bacon might help . 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites

FireKnife Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 I can picture it now. Bacon sandwich brought to me in the morning by the charming and witty girl I just screwed. Damn it, somethings you do miss being single. You would hardly want a one night thing to stay any longer than one night right?

FireKnife Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Good ol' Rat Race. So random and still terrible . However I am about one, two or maybe three week(s) away from 'night out in Amsterdam'. Saying that the invention and mass popularity of internet dating makes it easier to find the unhinged girls that like it so rough that you feel like you have just spent a day charging bunkers with a pistol charming young women of today. I would say about breaking my golden 'don't pay for it' rule but then technically every single first date where I pick up the bill and then get sex is surely the same thing right? I really am just a messed up person, still like it though (for other reasons that not a single person bar a medical professional knows about). 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 My old boss reckons you may as well just get a hooker and be done with it, because you end up paying for it anyway one way or another. But then again, he's jaded because his ex wife left him for the best man. (clichéd as it is) Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Haha. Sorry but bad cliches like that always make me chuckle. Also reminds me of a porn I watched but as usual that went nothing like the real life situation. Though it is true. Hell even Butters from South Park had a point. You pay for it by listening to their rubbish interesting stories all day right? Saying that I could go into the 'which is cheaper / easier / more convenient' argument over hire a hooker versus a night out trying to take home a drunk girl but it is actually obvious which one wins down to one simple variable; you are always going to be able to buy it but you can't guarentee that there is going to be a drunk girl to sleep with. In every other aspect (including how morally ambiguous they are) it just comes down to that one little thing. 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
sandstorm Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Meh. Lucky you, I hire a hooker, even if it's not in the country I live in, I will be prosecutable under the laws ramrodded in by the ugly twunt female politicians,w ho want men to be miserable here in Finland...

hitmanNo2 Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 From what I gather from a friend (honestly a friend) the experience in places like Amsterdam is very clinical. Like punch a hole in a tissue and wear it for certain...aspects if you get me. Not my cup of tea but perhaps if you're a regular the girls loosen up somewhat...Pun accidental but oh so applicable ha ha. Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Ouch. Though how does that make sense? Is it illegal for a Finnish person to hire any type of hooker ever? Though to be honest you do have internet dating, costs less and ok you might have to deal with some crazy moments and hire a hotel room so they don't know were you live but still. Oh and if they propose to you go along with it, the fun time is often fun and as they do it to everyone they soon forget if you leave as they just latch onto someone else. Huh, when you say it like that I really am a bad person. Also I am twice a mother *fruitcage*-er. Yeah I am a bad person. As for Amsterdam I have been told that it depends where exactly you go and how you handle it. If you look and act like a tourist you get treated like a tourist. If you are confident, honest and don't faff about then they are happy to accomadate. But I suppose the same could be said about most places of business. Just be nice, be clear and don't dilly-dally (unless dilly-dally is your word for finishing it which case by all means). 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
Tw1tch Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 So we had the TAG test yesterday and still grinning like a fool from that. We were really impressed with the range, reckon about 150 metres (we didn't pace it. Wish I had a laser rangefinder) but definitely a lot further than expected. Mate shot me in the buttocks from <10m and yeah it stung for about 30-45 seconds but reckon I've had worse bb hits. Now here's hoping our site can convince the insurers to let us use them. We're submitting a proper report to the site owner, including recommendations such as a safety brief for those wanting to use them (you'd only have to attend a briefing one pregame, rather than sitting through one every single day like the regular safety brief), an enforced MED and recommended supervised training with the dummy rounds to get people used to aiming them. The launcher makes an awesome noise too. Figured out what's wrong with my Mk18, the hop rubber is missing a chunk and somehow I have no hop nub...swear I had decent hop beforehand. So ordering some madbull blues tomorrow but need to find a nub (might as well fit my prowin hop at the same time). Yesterday I got my launcher when I got home, shells were a pain to load, and the firing pin wasn't triggering the TAG shell. Placed a TAG shell against the firing pin and fired, it definitely knocked the valve far enough. Removed the two shell retaining clips with a screwdriver (guess I have to be extra careful when reloading) and it seems to fit flush now. Just I'm now out of gas so can't check if it works as is. Which is the one sad face moment. Link to post Share on other sites
Im going space Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 oh wow, if yo do sort out a full report of that, send a copy over here, i'll get our site manager to have a look at it too Link to post Share on other sites
Tw1tch Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Will do, I intend on putting it in the TAG shell topic as well for others to read through and hopefully make use of in providing a case. I want to see TAG shells at more sites, I think they're genuinely revolutionary and make airsoft grenadiers somewhat viable (barring cost). We weren't sure what we were expecting yesterday but all of us present were very impressed. There's a couple of things we've missed. We didn't see how glass would cope against a round for example. Something we really should have given one area of our local is full of abandoned vehicles. Problem is hitting the glass long range, which is when you'd be hitting the glass in an odd shot, we can't really recreate it without throwing loads of rounds downrange. We could do a close ballistic test I guess. We didn't dare use the powder rounds against a human target and recommend against this as the risk of the powder in someone's eyes is unacceptable in my opinion, whilst its probably safe in itself it'll irritate the eyes, encouraging users to rinse them out, which likely means removing their eye pro, massive no-no in the game area. Whilst I only took a dummy round at short range I would be willing to be shot with the impact detonation and the timer det ones too, its just we were conserving gas and shells plus as far as we're aware there is no burn danger. The only possible additional danger over a dummy round I suppose is an impact to the ear, might be a bit loud. But I've had MkV's go off right next to my head before and I reckon they're similar in audio output. Link to post Share on other sites
