Any chance we can get a thread for off topic stuff? most of the regular posters on here know each other enough to have a natter about stuff that isnt specifically CoD by now, could be fun, or could descend into a shambles :pac:

I saw this over on the cool vids & pics & links forum and thought it needed to be here too.

Reason being it looks like a blur trail left by a ballistic knife or a tomahawk

Just in case you're wondering, 943yards is the best part of a kilometre (862 metres)

I'd be the same as well. Kinda lost touch over the past year or two. Besides the lads mentioned above. Kept in touch with Gerno, Croner, Richie, Cullian(making a real name for himself on the DJ scene now which is great to see), Collie Walsh and a couple of others here and there. Kinda drifted apart. I talk to Peadar most days now. Trying to convince him to sort something out over the summer as it will work out best for everyone who wants to attend.

Oh and I saw that prick Fr. Eanna two weeks back. Was actually, dare I say sound. Should have asked for my pellet gun back and see what his reaction would have been :pac:

Ever been out that way? Some nice spots what with the lake and Sally's Gee literally a few minutes away from me.

Technically I live in between Brittas and Blessington, so not Blessington as such.

Absolutely lovely place.

The younger bro worked there for awhile actually. Lovely place indeed, usually go for a run there in summer months and was a member of the gym there too. Great place for hiding my victims which is handy.

Oh and Brittas Bay is well far away from, other side of Wicklow beside the Irish sea. There's an actual place called Brittas in between Blessington and the Hollywood of Ireland, Tallaght.

And here's me thinking Killzone will bring me back to multi-player fun, not keen on it so far anyway.
