ohh dear... that was funny
God this sounds so familiar..... My wife is banned from the garage - and i also changed my personal banking so she couldnt see what i was up to! I keep loads of my gear in the car, so she cant see it lol The amount of times i have bought or exchanged "new barrels" or "new grips" to "make it look differentdusty said:
" - sooner or later shes gonna twig on! heheLet me think, in last 12 months i have had 1 cocker, 2 Ions, 1 PM5, 1 DM5, 2 Ego 05's, 1 Shocker and an Ego 06....(shhh, and a tippman A5 lol) - and im not that bad compared to a lot of people on here!!!....
So i aint even going to add everything up, especially if you add on kit, travel to tourneys (even to watch them!) training and associated **** which i barely use (like an expensive Chrono, tools, numerous kit bags and crap paint sat collecting dust in my garage! :|) - oh, and the comment my son made about Dads should buy everything - B*ll**ks

sounds eerily familiar to what i tell my parentsDiablo said:
I have my own cupboard in the garage, they never go in it
...for their own safety really, if you open the door stuff literally pours out
2004 almost had to give up because I had no money, my Grandparents gave me £300 (they got his company name (RJ Glass plug plug) on the shirt tho
) expecting that to tide me over for the next year......lasted about 3 or 4 months
then I got a job, couldn't cope on a 5er a week. paid for myself all last year and this year so far
tho they did pay the £200 odd it cost me to fly to Athens to play with the Angels
Whaaaaaa?cov boy said:
played Lincoln this sunday, 2 of the guys had never played a proper tourney before, one of them it was only his 2nd proper tourney
we were in Div 2
only 2 of us proper tourney players
We only shot 4 boxes of paint the entire day
I spent a grand total of £21.50 on paint
the entry fee cost more
The 1st team will be back next month when they've fixed their cars, earned some money or escaped their wives
(you aren't thinking of playing on Mothers day are you?
(extensive thought ensues, cost benefit analysis of marriage & paintball, tough decision)
