scorch Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 *Not sure whether to like* Hurty justice good, hurty mummy bad in first place. Yeah, the bloke is a complete *Ubar*. Held a boiling kettle over her face while pinning her to the floor once. I ditched his surname by deed poll as a symbolic thing. I hope when he is old and decrepit he has an abusive carer so he knows how it feels to be helpless. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm really not in a position to comment other than bravado macho that I can be prone to do. Hope you ok Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 I'm good. The man is practically dead to me these days. My mum has been married to a fantastic bloke for years now. The only reason I won't call the new guy dad is because that word has negative connotations for me and he is a better guy than that. Link to post Share on other sites
amateurstuntman Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 Sounds like you are dealing. Good job. You choose your friends, you are told who your relations are. Link to post Share on other sites
Tw1tch Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 Scorch, that was quite open, something that takes stones even on the internet. Glad to hear your mum's with a decent person now and you're doing well. Link to post Share on other sites
Habakure Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 Very open account there Scorch, very sorry to hear that the term 'Dad' has been tarnished/ruined for you. But very understandable and something that only you can know how to deal with it. Made up things turned around. There are some truely evil *suitcases* out there. I have a mate who hates Christmas, as it reminds them of their abusive father (even though it happened all year round, it got very bad/ worse around Christmas). I always make an effort not to mention it around them, but they love winding me up (always hilarious too) about it. Just re-read my previous post. Good deity! My grammar has gotten worse of late. Going to have to knuckle down and keep an eye on it (bit of a self hate thing I have with regards to my complete lack of literacy skills). Link to post Share on other sites
Azubi Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 Some absolute scummy *fruitcage* wearing a balaclava forced their way into an old lady's house down the row I live on about an hour and a half ago. We never heard anything happening but had the police round asking for anything that may help. Link to post Share on other sites
amateurstuntman Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 Give them a machete. That may help. Link to post Share on other sites
Tw1tch Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 So UK Tactical want £40 plus shipping for a set of Sawfly frames and smoke lens (there is currently 15% off eyewear though I guess) when I can get a full set of (admittedly surplus) Sawfly's for £35 from next to my work. Thing is I only need the frame and smoke lens as someone pinched mine. I suppose I could always ebay a frame and some smoke glasses but they all seem to be American sellers. I can't wear the large set I have (I didn't realise there were different sizes) for skirmishing as I got a BB bounce inside with them and I'm yet to experiment with other eye pro. Considering full seal given the injuries I've seen but I fog like hell. Some of the Smith optics (just not the boogie regulators) seem quite handy. Link to post Share on other sites

Give Heroshark a call, he makes the best mesh goggles out there. Todays rant: Work night out. Technician took it upon himself to see how large he can get the (paid by work) bill, 3 rounds of double shots later (on top of an irish coffee, jagerbomb and 4 beers) and i'm *fruitcage*e.d I am anticipating my first hangover ever (in all my 25 years on this earth) tomorrow morning with dread. Help me. help me... Link to post Share on other sites

Danke Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 Keep drinking and gradually taper off over the next decade or so. Link to post Share on other sites
Gunmane Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 Do not fret Tinkerton, you can serve as the physical expression of how I feel about tomorrow. You will also know what to not do when given that same course of action again. Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 Just got in from my works night out. Room moving. Headache already setting in. Send assistance. Link to post Share on other sites
Tinkerton Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 Hangover free, bitches. My extra pint of blood (from being larger than the average human) appears to have done its job. Corking. Link to post Share on other sites
Tw1tch Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 I dislike the idea of mesh eye pro so much. I'm sure it works and its perfectly serviceable I just don't tust it...yet currently use non sealed eyepro... Pfft hangovers. Can't remember ever having one. Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 Hangover free also. Headache subsided with the application of powerade before bed. Currently drinking a bottle of Purdys, after which I'll be tip top. For the record, Purdys is a most excellent hangover cure. It's got vitamins and *suitcase*. Link to post Share on other sites
darkchild130 Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 I was thinking "how the *fruitcage* can that stop hangovers?" And then realised I was thinking of Doolies. I don't reckon a bottle of toffee liqueur would sort a hangover out Dalkchild Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 Dooleys would work also. But only because you don't have a hangover if you're still drunk. Link to post Share on other sites
darkchild130 Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 I don't get hangovers, as I only drink vodka and diet coke, and drink a litre of water before bed. Clear spirits for victory. Darkchild Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure it works and its perfectly serviceable I just don't tust it...yet currently use non sealed eyepro... Pfft hangovers. Can't remember ever having one. One of the best arguments about eye protection I saw was a guy who wears ' ballistic shooting glasses' with gaps between his eyepro and face slagging off someone with a mesh goggles for being stupid because bits of BB might break off and go through the mesh. Meanwhile, he had big gaps whole BBs could come in from without slowing down much if the angle was right. I fog like a mofo, so tend to use mesh personally. I've taken quite a few shots to mesh goggles in the past and have personally not suffered negative effects. That isn't to say that it might not occur, it's just that it hasn't happened yet. That, and I feel the risk is outweighed by the fact that if I was to wear non-mesh, the fogging will leave me with heavily restricted vision, that could cause issues, and if I go to de-fog, there is always the potential a freak BB could strike even if I am in an area I think is safe. I did always carry two piece of eye pro when using polycarbonate lenses so I could swap out if fogging, but even the transition leaves you exposed for a very short time. Eye protection is a very emotional subject for some people. Link to post Share on other sites

Or, I'll have a look around work and see if I can find you some. I don't get hangovers because I haven't been drunk in 11 years. Before that I didn't get hangovers because I didn't get sober for 15 years. It averages out... Link to post Share on other sites

Eye protection is a very emotional subject for some people. On the whole mesh issue, when I first bought mine from ebairsoft I was super paranoid of shattering fragmentation. So I bought two pairs, and tested one severely. I put several hundred rounds into each eyepiece from a range of about 2 inches, firing about 350fps. While some of the bbs did obviously shatter, and some of the metal wire buckled inwards from the abuse, no fragments got through the mesh. I put a sheet of paper behind the goggles and there wasn't a mark on it. Needless to say, I binned the test set because of aforementioned buckled metal, and used the other pair with confidence.

Gunmane Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 Mesh be a no go here, full seal for folks, though many folks are going the ansi-rated shades with full seal kits route. I still use an old pair of flakjacks. Anyways, boo folks, now none of you will post hangover rambles to read. Link to post Share on other sites
