Never played Counter Strike so I can't say if I like it or not
-

I normally have a bar through it. Why would having a hole in your tongue make drinking interesting? It's not going to leak to anywhere.
-
Fair point, still, OUCH!
-
Stargate fan (just waitin for Season 10)
can say that season 10 of stargate sg1 is one of the best i think shame is also the last series of it to.

A fellow archer what sort of bows do you use
I started with crossbows moved onto recurves and compound hunters got into making my own hickory longbows and N american indian flat bow and recurve hunter Oh and fletching of course (cheeper when you do field as I am a lousy shot and used to break/loose a lot of arrows) ;D
It must be a year since I picked up one of my bows I think I'll take the longbow out this weekend
-
as well as the photography I also organise big bocking events ;)
-

That doesn't sound hard ???
Field shooting ....... Fields are great big things ! You'd have a hard time missing one, unless you hit the board side of a barn ! ;D
-
Let me educate you.
A Field Shoot conists of targets placed around an estate, with markers to shoot from, 3different colours, red,blue and white, red is furthest from the target, and hardest, then blue and then white.
You have to stand with your leading foot against the peg and take one shot from each, coupled with distance, there are also objects in the way, for example a tree, or a bush, sometimes even a lake, aswell as the target being at a diffferent height usually below, but it can be above.
You get points for a kill or a wound, obviously more from the 1st peg and less from the last.
Not as easy as it sounds
-

Yes, as it happens. ;)
-
where were you hoping of organising a meet to ?
-
I believe he is refering to the London meet.
-
i was thinkinjg of that but as i couldnt make it there i was hoping for a different one :'(

I used to shoot longbow at Oxshot wood (Esher) with the Company of Sixty and crossbow with the Knights of St George
Saddly I let both memberships lapse about 10 years ago lucky for me we keep a horse at a farm and the owner lets me shoot there whenever I like
My recurves are 50 and about 48lb the longbows 50 and 65lb no idea about the flat but I would guess at 60 and the crossbow is an old barnett commando (self loading )110lb prod
I did shoot a 90lb longbow for a while but it was a tad to heavy (after about 5 shots my arm used to go numb ;D )
I tried to lighten it and the top limb snapped on full draw boy did I have a headache that day could have been worse the bottom one could have snapped ;D
I was very lucky when I started as Longshot Archery in Hampton was my local shop (its moved now but not to far )
As for easy DK my speciality was not noticing the tree in the way and managing to ricochet the arrow in a complete u turn it broke into several bits two of which stuck in my jeans and I did it twice off the same peg on different days
Hear do I get a prize for being the first person to shoot myself with a longbow ;D
-
Hear do I get a prize for being the first person to shoot myself with a longbow ;D
Nope but you do get a prize for being the most accident prone. :p
-
My other talents include dislocating both sholders on demand and bein able to wrap both arms around the back of my head and hold my hands at the front lol

Facts, figures they just go in and stick but oddly names I find harder to stick ???

-
lol im sure if i did manage to when landing id like face plant into the grass as it looks hard enough to land when normally runnning
-
im scared of heights so my 1st two flights were for parachute jumps knelt there on the floor of a cessan -no door just an open space- as we banked at 50 feet. Got to 2000 or somat un i shuffled to the hole , heled on to wing strut---then jumped. Perfect. Only prob just 1 person left to jump --a m8 - pilot will not go up with less then two - so OK Illgo upagain. I should point out we jumping on farm land. in january. B4 we jumped 1 pertson did a perfect jump, ran round to colapse his 'shute, tripped on a frozen furrow ----andbroke his ankle.
I got off OK but on my 2nd jump ---the snow was going up -as i went down ::)
-
So it was a soft landing for you ;)
-
-making dangerous stuff like super powerfull Pneumatic cannons and pulsejets (gonna mount a pulsejet onto my bike! muhahahahaa)

i tried making a combustion cannon, but the peices were too expensive to order in, however my Dad is a kitchen fitter so he puts in screwfix plumbing orders a lot, so i get things like ball valves, preasure thingamabobs and copper fittings then make it into some sort of 5Bar+ cat destroying device! (dont worry i wouldnt shoot a cat with it! :o )
-
I trampoline, take photos, juggle and do poi. I go to network (scouts) and rangers (guides).
In my spare time I help run the Trampolining club (and run its website), work with Southend scout and Guide Gang Show (and run their website), Im an assistant leader with Brownies and Guides when Im at home too. I also like to take photos (lots of them) and normally take photos at all the Scout/Guide events I go to.

Hmm, bocking is obviously a favourite! I like to play heavy metal on my guitar (it's loud and simple ok?). I'm learning a bit of poi (fire is goooood!), I do acrobalance with my girlfriend Abby, and I like to go Airsofting!
And somewhere in between all that and work, I sleep!

Now if you want fun when I was a wee lad of about 12 my Nan bought me back one of those large match holder cannons from Spain it was about 10" long
Being me I drilled it out so it would work crusher some old fasioned match heads up and loaded it with cotton and a 3/4" steel ball bearing
On lighting it I instantly went deaf (lasted for 2 days) my main mistake though was doing it indoors in my bedroom I looked up to see a small hole in my bedroom door
Problem was my parents door was on the other side of the hall the small holes wer'nt to bad but the 4" round exit wounds on the back of the doors were noticable ;D and Dad wasn't impressed that he could see the sky throught the sloping ceiling in their room ;D
I can't remember what the punishment was but I didn't see that cannon again until I was 21 ;D
-
so, what you are saying, is that basically its not just yourself that you are a danger to!!!!!!
-
Someone at work remembered me I do have a talent !?

" Don't you ever shut up !? "

so many memorys when it used to be on channel 2 straight after the simpsons!! and malcom in the middle!!
Now this is the story all about how
My life got flipped, turned upside down
And Id like to take a minute just sit right there
Ill tell you how I became the prince of a town called bel-air
In west philadelfia born and raised
On the playground where I spent most of my days
Chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool
And all shooting some b-ball outside of the school
When a couple of guys said were up in no good
Started making trouble in my neighbourhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
And said youre moving with your aunte and uncle in bel-air
(only the first three episodes of season one)
I begged and pleaded with her the other day
But she packed my suitcase and sent me on my way
She gave me a kissin and she gave me my ticket
I put my walkman on and said I might aswell kick it
First class, yo this is bad,
Drinking orange juice out of a champagne glass
Is this what the people of bel-air livin like,
Hmm this might be alright!
I whistled for a cab and when it came near the
Licensplate said fresh and had a dice in the mirror
If anything I could say that this cab was rare
But I thought now forget it, yo home to bel-air
I pulled up to a house about seven or eight
And I yelled to the cabby yo, home smell you later
Looked at my kingdom I was finally there
To settle my throne as the prince of bel-air
-
