    Avoid letting an opponent shoot you, whilst seizing the opportunity to shot an opponent

    Have that!

    Paintball's Coming Home

    by HALF MAN HALF BISCUIT (LYRICS: Blackwell)

    They've got the whole world in their house,
    they've got the whole wide world in their house,
    they've got the whole world in their house,
    to see the new conservatory
    They didn't choose their cat,
    the cat chose them,
    they didn't choose their cat,
    the cat chose them,
    they didn't choose their cat,
    the cat chose them,
    and what do you know,
    its got its own website,
    they made some real good friends,
    on Henman hill,
    they made some real good friends,
    on Henman hill,
    they made some good friends,
    on Henman hill,
    now they all meet up for boxercise,
    They buy soup in cartons,
    not in tins,
    They buy soup in cartons,
    not in tins,
    They buy soup in cartons,
    not in tins,
    And keep a torch in the back of the car,
    They go to one-day cricket,
    in fancy dress,
    They go to one-day cricket,
    in fancy dress,
    They go to one-day cricket,
    in fancy dress,
    and choose the pub thats got the ball pond for the kids,
    They treat the mercury music,
    prize win-or,
    They treat the mercury music,
    prize win-or,
    They treat the mercury music,
    prize win-or,
    Obviously thats just jealousy on my part,
    They seem to think,
    it's a really good idea
    They seem to think,
    it's a really good idea
    They seem to think,
    it's a really good idea
    To hire a stretch limosine,
    He gets over emontional,
    when he's drunk,
    He gets all too emotional,
    when he's drunk,
    He gets over emontional,
    when he's drunk,
    And says,
    "I tell you what mate, that baby changed me life",
    If I'd have known they were coming, I'd have slashed me wrists

    be prepared to buy lots of paintballs

    as the 'free' ones wont last two minutes,i have been a few times and i would suggest that you get the gung ho giddy ballox out of the way first,then knuckle down to some serious paintball,which means laying low and picking off your targets one by one,like i said before its easy to get carried away and get all trigger happy,you wont get very far like that,be patient,it doesnt really hurt if you hear people say that they are a wuss,enjoy it,i love it.

    lol

    Try telling my mate who was built like a brick shithouse that it didnt hurt when he got shot in the throat.. I actually thought he'd been shot by a real bullet.

    So funny seeing him rolling about.. :D

    okay i will give you that

    but 9/10 times you get hit on the body and that doesnt really hurt,getting hit on the throat or face is not that common,to be hit and hurt isnt that common,usually women say it hurts,i rest my case

    Agree. It just feels like you have been slapped at the time. Its the next day and the couple of days after. But I have been before and had no injuries. Like you say, you have to just be unlucky to be hurt.

    I've dug my cricket box out...

    Wise or am I being a poof?

    To be honest the thought of being hit there does not fill me with joy... (casualty)
