So there we woz (NWC) at the world cup for the first time and we'd come 3rd. We woz the dogs kahunas.We'd done pretty well in the 5 man with one of our teamz missing out on the final by a few points to finish 5th.
On to the presentation ceremony
a long drawn out affair with prizes for everyone nay anyone that stood still long enough or knew someone in paintball. Novice 5 man divisional winners then the 5 man finalists.Repeated for the Am's then Pros
. and then on to the serious 10 man prizes with exactly the same format
Time to bugger off and get some beers. On returning they were still on the pre-amble thanking all the various sponsors. Time for some more ale and then back to the ceremonies by this time it was on the am div winners whereby everyone had a mind numbing speech
This time we bought the beer to us and scowled at anyone who remotely looked at the pile af tins.
After 5 days intense hard paintball this was getting too much to bear. On stage they were looking for the representitive from a Novice Japanese team that had entered the 5 man, not having played before. they didnt win a game or shoot a person all tournament and someone thought there should get some sort of prize for coming all that way and getting their arses kicked.
The call went out.. no reply then on to the next prize winner and obligatory captains speech
and then another call for the japs.This went on for about 8 goes and i loudly (under my Breath) said " perhaps they've gone off to dive bomb a few carriers" which is definatly not funny when standing in a country whose carriers were the ones being dive bombed.
As soon as it came out of my mouth "i knew" as Dave stewart would say.Everyone was looking round to see who had said it and i was doing like wise!!!!!!!!!!
