we used to have a scratch team called the John Bonich Fan Club. Bless him, havent spoke to him since Campaign last year.
As for Sosta, he promagged my mag and it ripped. seen him at Campaign last year. Both great friends and always had some good drunken laughs.

Daystate markers - the 62cal was great - hurt like hell especially from the odd gun that was hot!! Remember the trenches?

Oh, the flash backs!!Tell us more about the war, grandad
Rats the size of puppies etc.
Seriously though Olly - the trenches were awesome - too bloody dangerous though, so they filled them in. Point blank headshots when headshots didnt count!!

I remember- I started at Skirmish as well with .62's and no headshots- I recall getting shot repeatedly in the head with very hard .62 and being told 'No, it's okay' a lot. It wasn't ok
geeez i was born in 1990
Olde? Funny!
Anyway - make the most of it my friend because one day you will find yourself posting on here about playing in 2006 and getting the self same reply from some kid not born now!
It flies real quick mate!!
Started in about 1987, when splats ruled, paint was £1.50 for 10 balls in a tube and you could run up to someone to mug them and still miss from 3 feet away
Ahhhh those were the days, just turned 40 and i still can't afford to play
There's just no skill in the game today !

Glad im in good coampany!
first played in '89 with splats and Cal Mag paint with the notorious Dave Forder - one time director of NPG. Remember meeting Doug Setters when he flew his Helicopter over to the local airfield - and people say theres no money in paintball!
ahhhh those were the days - it all seemed alot simpler back then!
