FireKnife Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2548785/Handyman-firing-3-000-rounds-minute-machine-gun-unlikely-star-YouTube-20million-hits.html Suprised this hasn't been posted up already but I am somewhat suprised also that it isn't a proper *suitcase* slinging fest from the DM here. Just whatever you do don't read the comments, now those are typical of the Daily Mail average reader . Is it me or is anyone else worried that that they are being well nice. It is Britians most arrogant and far-right paper that sells in newstands. 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites

FireKnife Posted January 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Yeah that did make me laugh but you have to remember the Daily Mail does have a very 'mature' readership. To them sliced bread is still a modern invention. 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites

Habakure Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 I honestly cannot click on that link. I try to avoid the daily mail at all costs (these days). Is it wrong, that I fear for my safety, when I see a 'normal' looking citizen, siting on a train reading the daily mail? Link to post Share on other sites

To be honest I would rather sit next to a tramp staring at a copy of Guns and Ammo with hungry eyes than any member of the Daily Mail readership. 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites

FireKnife Posted January 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 I think that might have just been your reflection in the window Wait tramp is another way of saying 'sex pest'? Though I can't say anything about the Guns and Ammo one, I did sit and read a copy of the 1911 commemorative special on a train once as it was the only remotely interesting reading material in the WH Smiths. Oddly barely anyone noticed or cared bar the typical over-paranoid mother that thought I was going to eat here children for lunch but you always get them .

hwagan Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Airsoft in the daily mail? Link to post Share on other sites
bladerunner168 Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 I read Recoil magazine (iPad version) on the London Underground, during rush hour on a frequent basis. Some folks try and get a sneak peek and I think for the UK populace, a lot more people are interested in firearms than they are likely to admit due to societies perception of GUN NUTS ARE EVIL Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 It's London. They are eyeing up your ipad and working out the best place to stab you for it. Link to post Share on other sites
hwagan Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 It's London. They are eyeing up your ipad and working out the best place to stab you for it. It's known as 'Shanking' down here, not stabbing. Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted January 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 They are eyeing up your ipad and working out that they could do a lot better for a lot cheaper. I think that would be more accurate. It's known as 'Shanking' down here, not stabbing. I thought that was a jail nomenclature? Or is London just one big prison?

shmook Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 It's known as 'Shanking' down here, not stabbing. I'm a couple of hundred miles away, don't understand your banter, old bean! Or is London just one big prison? That! Link to post Share on other sites

'FireKnife' Not entirely, but anyone who wants to stab/shank someone has been/wants to be in prison, so they use the terminology. Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted January 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 A-ha, as shmook says I am not used to such a term being used, as my clearly middle-upper class accent will justify. I would comment on the local accent but first I would have to understand it to do such so it is no different around here . Speaking of London: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHBsvbkkxEM I would use the other clip I had in mind but it has some very 12A unfriendly language. 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
Wild_XIII Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 I accidentally scrolled down too far and read some of the comments. It's genuinely confusing when there's people out there who think of us like they would think of a child rapist or murderer. Mind you, I think they're all uneducated, frothing at the mouth *Ubarflock* so alls fair in love and war I guess. Link to post Share on other sites
Stuey Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 The article is actually fine (I was surprised). The comments however live up to the Daily Mail standard fully. Link to post Share on other sites
Skarclaw Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 airsoft and the rest of my life very different things. I know its harmless (obviously) but wouldn't want a pic of me in tac gear up on facebook - dunno how people will take it and also to be fair its not just the daily mail with obnoxious comments - its literally every website with comments Link to post Share on other sites

If that's civilised - avoiding eye contact as though it will give you AIDS, walking past someone getting a kicking in the street, 3 hours to drive a mile in traffic, and people ripping you off for, well, everything - I'm glad I'm out of it!

Sorry for going off topic but what you just described is not the behaviour of a real Londoner like myself, born and bred. What you are describing are mostly the denizens from other counties who settle in London for work and hear this great myth that London is miserable and thus you must portray this misery and utter unfriendlyness so you too can fit in. EDIT: I agree, traffic is poo and prices are high but then salaries are generally higher so, meh. Link to post Share on other sites

EDIT: I agree, traffic is poo and prices are high but then salaries are generally higher so, meh. A lot of the time, I have the "please don't talk to me" attitude and I'm not in London. Doesn't stop people though. How is it, in this day and age, people still don't recognize that "headphones on and a hurried pace" means "I've got *suitcase* I'm getting on with" Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 "The video shows an airsoft battle - a growing sport in which participants run around woodland dressed in camouflage shooting each other with plastic pellets from military-style guns." So I guess that means I haven't really been playing airsoft all this time. Link to post Share on other sites
