Airsoft Doesn't Sleep (Off-topic MADNESS!!) Mod warning in post #1

I started a thread about biodegradable bbs recently, and I got some handy links from Lemming. Check out ironfoot.co.uk/shop/ or begadi.com - the second one is a bb specialist but I'm not sure they do shipping to Ireland. Worth asking I suppose.

I asked Tony @ Eirsoft about it since I'd rather buy from an Irish supplier; if enough people ask, he'll stock what we're looking for. I too would like black bbs (biodegradable in my case) in .2 and .25 gram.

I sent him a pm, I think a few people have mentioned it in the past.

Even a once off large order of a few bags per person might make it worth his while.

Given that 3 of the 4 light bulbs in my computer room have blown since yesterday, I think I'm allowed keep the one remaining one on.

I thought that Dublin was going to take a major part in the Earth Hour? seems not..Oh well, And I thought you guys were up to date on world current affairs, and environmental issues. tut_tut guys ;)

Good, clean, healthy outdoor activities with no carbon footprint!! outstanding, nice job keep up the good work, now doesn't that make you feel good? and sure tree hugging and Airsofting nearly go hand in hand:D

Actually what you did was fire thousands of pieces of teflon coated plastic around a field that you drove to from varying distances in petrol or diesel driven cars, probably picking up some food on the way which was wrapped in plastic or foil, which is all now going to landfill, if it isn't already floating on the wind somewhere. Not to mention the GBBs you were using were releasing hydrocarbon gas into the atmosphere and tearing up the grassy areas of said field to expose unseeded, fertile topsoil which will be blown away once a warm day with a breeze comes along.


Just a little information...

I'm reporting you lot to Greenpeace.

After 12 years of using the same pc keyboard I was forced to buy a new one today. But...it just doesn't feel the same. The key spacing is a little different, the keys have a different sound when pressed and they feel different as well when pressed. I keep making spelling mistakes to, as I find myself pressing the wrong keys.

I think I'm actually mourning my old keyboard. I'm depressed.

That's all...

Bring it, I'll go French on their asses and sink them. Ugh, I can't tell you how hard it is going out with a tree hugging hippy girlfriend when you're three biggest passions in life involve things with big engines, things that shoot other things, and sports where people get hurt. And given that my job involves repairing supposed "gas-guzzling" aircraft, you can tell there could be conflicts.
It all got too much one day when she found a copy of Auto Trader on the kitchen table and said if I ever bought a car she'd leave me.

The next day I drove to her house in my new car to drop her stuff off...



I know what you mean about the keyboard. I bought this one 4 years ago and it's been my baby since. It's gotten so much use the texture has worn off the keys so much that they've become shiny. The ironic thing is, even though it's the best, and longest serving, keyboard I've ever owned, I only paid 12 euro for it.

Find something that she uses a lot...something she can't live without. Then dig up some facts about it. Check what goes into making it, transporting it from country-of-origin etc. Use it as a bargaining chip the next time you want to buy a V6 powered flying airsoft device.

My old keyboard keys were still in perfect condition. Not worn at all which is amazing after 12 years. But, as tough as it was, it still lost the fight with the cup of tea. Stupid cat killed my keyboard.

I thought I'd cheer myself up by watching a movie. Decided on the 2007 remake of 'The Mist'. I won't give away what happens in the movie, but lets just say I'm waaaaaaaay more depressed now. Not a good day, but that's what I get for not dragging myself out of bed earlier and going to HRTA.

I'm bored. I demand that someone posts something funny/interesting here. You have 30 mins or I'm getting angry.

Happened to me too recently. But it was with my logitech ball mouse. Had been using it for 10 years. I'm pretty sure the thing had worn away to fit my hand perfectly.

I reluctantly replaced it with an optical mouse. It's just not the same though

Was up at crossfire the other day and a guy ran for cover slipped and shot his friend in the ass:D

You have successfully prevented me from becoming angry. Thanks. A video of the incident would have been hilarious though.

Everyone, please stop feeding me cookies. At this rate I'm gonna gain another 1-2 belt sizes soon. But if you are going to feed me cookies, at least make them McVities Boasters please.

Boasters are good. But be careful, because the last time we discussed the subject, it transpired that Dex is a cookie snob, and suggested M&S. Then again, I did try to feed the bunch at HRTA some Tesco biccies, so maybe I deserved it.

Ate them myself this week, because I forgot to bring a packed lunch...
