colhint Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 A few weeks ago my son was invited to a paintball party. I suppose there were about a 15 of us including 3 Dad's who were asked to join in. It was ok, but not fussed if we go again. Anyway we were all in one team. There were a number of games against another team. Get to a location, or take a flag. The one rule was if you were shot you couldn't participate for 30 seconds. So after about 4 games I'm getting knackered. I decided to be the sniper. Basically let the kids do all the running, I'll just hide. If anyone comes my way shoot the bugger. A few minutes into the game a kid in the opposition had the same idea. He hid, but I spotted him. He was knocking off our guys at regular intervals. It was a good hiding place inside an old skip, with great views almost all around. So I took a long detour and got into his blind spot. Got really close about 20 foot away, then smacked about 5 bright orange paint balls into his back. He turned around then got another 3 or 4 in his belly. He was covered in paint. I smiled and walked off. The little sod shot me. I said you can't do that you have to wait 30 seconds. His response from his bright orange dripping spot.

And I need to meet my allotment buddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I need to meet my allotment buddy We had to choose between two - one on the flat, but in shade, or one with plenty of light, but on a slope. We went for the slope. tbh I'm pissed off with the whole thing, but the missus is into it so I go along with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 How long have you had yours for? I've not done much in the way of gardening at all, my garden is fully decked so I have no idea what I'm doing. I needed a hobby that gets me away from my desk, and someone at work bought in a bit of fruit and veg they grew themselves, which was so much better than the shite in supermarkets that it seems like it'll be worth the effort.

Three years. There is no question that fresh-picked homegrown veg tastes better than bought, and there is something satisfying about the process - I can never quite get over the magic of planting a few seed potatoes, and then coming back to dig up ten times the amount. But the whole business of weed control is a ballsache, especially if you have limited time, and when it comes to my 'day off', I usually don't feel like going up to the allotment (it's just a little too far away to walk). Basically, I'm not into gardening, but the wife is, bigtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post mjmooney Posted October 22, 2017 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted October 22, 2017 (edited) Took the granddaughter to the "Jurassic Kingdom" animatronic dinosaurs exhibition at a local park. Cold, muddy, overpriced and all a bit naff, but none of that mattered - she had a total blast. Rode on a T Rex, roared back at them all, laughed fit to bust. It must be great to be two.
