Dam !
Dam,
I was asked to write that article at a moment's notice because the guy who was originally going to do so failed to submit it in time.
I then had to whip together an account of the tournament that was purely from my perspective because I had not really taken that much notice of anything that was going on.
This was because, as I said, I was not even going to write it up.
Had I known I was going to write it, I would have concentrated more on other things than just playing.
The alternative, at such short notice, was to not cover the event at all which as you know would have attracted untold flak from some people as they ranted ' PGI doesn't cover English events anymore'.
Basically, I 'had' to write it.
I apologise if it offended you in some way, all I tried to do was to give some form of personal account since I had never been that far north in my life to play paintball and my personal account was all I had in terms of material to write about.
Perhaps I did indulge myself but as I am sure you will know, I ain't exactly the most humble of people, but hey, that's just me, I can't help that, it's the way I am !
We can't all be great players, great personalities, great sportsmen, possess great dispositions and be singularly devoid of ego.
Some of us have faults mate and believe me, I got more than most.
I had a great time up north at that tournament and just wanted to try and give some people a flavour of just why I enjoyed it so much.
