A group of us took the day off work and spent the afternoon having a go at paintball. I’ve never done anything like this before and to be honest was a little put off by the horror stories you hear, especially the one about the two timing Geordie kid who got shot in both eyes “I cannae see Geoff man!” but it was all good fun and glad I did it. Apart from a head shot that left me a little dazed the afternoon was mainly spent shooting the hell out of the fat guy from the office and middle management which is always a good thing.

The day ended with the three remaining players (myself included) just shooting the hell out of each other. Unfortunately my gun jammed mid way through and a thoughtful friend decided to “pump me full of lead paint”. My initial reaction was to take cover behind a wall but soon wondered why my chest was still hurting. It would appear the wall had a window in it and now you can play join the dots on my body as a result. As the guys coming to my wedding in four weeks time, I can’t decide whether to sit him with the grandparents or the smelly people, hehe.
