Missed it. I'm sure people will be able to mention what was said later tonight or in the morning.

It was just some auld lad saying ""oh it should be banned, etc, etc".

Every Saturday there's a neighbour down my street who is leaving for work, when im heading out skirmishing. Goes something like this...

"Hey Sean" *neighbour
"Well" *me
Im loaidng the kit into the boot at the time wearing camo trousers (no top)
"Going fishing again?"
"Um...yea..."

Everytime someone sees me wearing camo they assume i'm going fishing I don't even have any rods... People are weird...

Amen to that.

I am currently drinking the absolute finest ale I have ever tasted (and given the amount of weird and wonderful things I've had in the past, that's saying something). God bless you Scotland, and all that you produce, however limited the run may be.

Tennants? They still make that? I thought the solely supplied B&Q for own-brand paint stripper and rat poison these days?

Firekitten

Still very much in production, and Glasgow's favourite... as per.

Tonight I'm going to begin the process of making 25 Liters of Cider
Hopefully it will be ready to drink in about 20 Days and wont poison me.
Fingers crossed it wont be cloudy and look and smell of hamster piss!

Something like this? I'm tempted to try and make cider in college out of interest, but it takes about a month overall if not more depending on how quick the rate of fermentation is.

bullets

Got a Coopers Kit with a huge drum that works with a burb system instead of an airlock. 6-7 days to ferment all going well, then ya bottle it and do a secondary ferment for a further 14 days before finally chilling in the fridge.
shelf life of 3 months. 18-20 Euro's and a bag of sugar will get ya 23.5l

I made my own mead a while ago, and after establishing that it tasted much better after getting mad drunk on something better first, it worked out well enough.

Even cheaper, too, although my flatmate wasn't mad about having a massive, uncorked container of yeasty honey water in the middle of the kitchen for three months.

Keep us posted on the cider. Where did you get the kit?

This is the Kit I bought, (But I got it from the local offy and was charged 125 Euros)

http://www.thehomebrewcompany.ie/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=4&products_id=813

Had the mixture stirred up last night but only had a really crappy stick on
thermometer like you see on fish tanks. for ages it said the temp was over 30 until finally when it felt coldish it was decided that it had to be under 30 after sitting for 2-3 hours in the Kitchen so the little packet of yeast was added.

I used to brew wine years ago and only recently chucked out all the gear I had for making it
Not sure if it is the same for cider but the yeast was always started in a small container of warm water for an hour or so to allow it to get going before adding it to the rest of the Liquid

I had to give it up after a few months as I was getting way to fond for sampling it at all and any occasion

Just wondering, are under 18's allowed use pyro when playing in the UK ?

From reading I was getting a lot of mixed instructions so hopefully everythings ok. Some said sprinkle yeast over the top after everyhing was full and not stir,
others said stir like mad! and others said warm the yeast in water in a cup before you add it.
ALso Not sure why light would affect it as it says keep it in the dark. Maybe UV rays might kill yeast?
seeing bubbles slowly rising to the surface now that its day 1.

If all goes well, I'll bottle it and bring out a few bottles for a thirsty looking fellow Airsofter
who was in my house the other night watching me stir the brew! (Yes I mean you Shaun if your reading)

I also made beer but that was never as successful as the wine and I used to also start the yeast in some warm water before adding it to the main mixture which had to be stirred on a daily basis
Anyway as it is starting to give off bubbles then that shows that the yeast is starting to convert the sugar to booze
I bottled the beer at first which was OK, later I used a barrel to have it on tap which was pressurised with CO2 which improved it a lot
It was WAY to handy to have on tap and so it had to go

Talk of the stand off in wexford last night on the radio thismorning said that the gun may have been a replica, anyone hear any updates on this?

New medical drama series started called "Combat Hospital" started.
US military Nurse/Medic/hospital in Afghanistan.
(Modern Mash /China beach? )

Looks a little complete rubbish being honest but knowing me I will end up watching it
and hating it at the same time. (BTW its entertainment/fiction not a documentary thing)

And its just after reminding me I really should go out and buy China Beach and Mash on DVD
as I've never watched them all.

Never watched China Beach, but I've seen every episode of M*A*S*H. Some of them so many times that I can quote them from memory. I'd still watch the whole thing from start to finish again though.

Meh. So the prop department bought a mask. Not ragging on the spot, but if you saw the pool of stuff an average tv production prop department has to draw on, this would be less impressive. They have people who's only job is to find strange looking things and buy them. I'd be surprised if they didn't have every airsoft mask ever made, nevermind the real-deal equipment and replicas thereof.

They sould do a british version... much more interesting.

call it... 'Oh ****ing hell, another: Casualty'
failing that 'I need sleep' 'just put him next to the other dozy sods that got shot' or if they are feeling edgy 'Well, hes only a yank'

Seriously though, our MERT teams should be a great basis for a new mash... after all, they are the very latest incarnation of battlefield medical care.

Something a little more British!

LOVELY looking Guns and Uniforms in it.

A shame, I only flicked through it and the costumes and guns looked nice!

Any recommendations ? looking for something decent to watch.

Yea, it's decent enough. A bit cheesey in parts but the action/zombies make up for it.

Have you watchd "The Pacific" yet? It's good. Not as good as Band of Brothers, but good non the less

Not really into Zombie movies/TV series myself but
My Girlfriend LOVES THEM.
And Limerick is currently organizing a Zombie walk/event which
should be different and fun.

With that said I quite enjoyed the Walking Dead series
and looking forward to series 2.

Band of brothers I never knew what all the fuss was about, and Ross from friends
I was cringing at, the style of shooting was later copied to death by other telly and movies
and I never got into any of the characters from it.

The Pacific I only ever watched the first few episodes and found it boring.
But I have been meaning to watch it from the start to give it another chance.

Apologies in advance if I've just commited a crime of blasphemy

swiftblade

FYI im really drunk now so what im typing could be crap.

Yea, I found "The Pacific" boring too. It went into character development way too much.
Band of Brothers I thought was near perfect for a war movie. Just the right ammount of backround for the characters so you could relate to them. The action scenes were also well shot

Welcome to the Party. I'm Drunk 7 days a week if its after about 8 O'Clock,
and I've even 23.5l of Cider currently brewing in my gun room waiting to ferment in a few days time.

Firekitten

Yay, finally woken up... randomly stayed up 32 hours... getting drunk after that many hours up, is rather easy

On the warfilms thing... If the makers of the pacific and band of brothers do Vietnam next, it might actually be the best Vietnam series ever....

Zombies... yeah, the waking dead was amazing, I loved it, need more zombies... can never have enough, though Zombieland has taken my movie favourite award so far...

My head feels like its been clamped in a vise

Never again am I doing shots of zambuka...

Secondly... doorgunning with airsoft from a chopper... A, Dangerous, bbs where they shouldnt be... B, If they even got NEAR the guys they shot at, id be impressed, the downwash would have sent those bbs earthwards almost imediately outside the cabin. Useless and daft.


Plus, been there, done that, got the helo insertion tee shirt :P
