Sorry for the almost radio silence from me the past 7 days! I am happy to announce I have finally completed the South West Coastal Path, Poole to Minehead. 630 miles. Dead happy and dead tired.

If you're going to incessantly chase after people trying to buy a RIF that you seemingly: A) Can't afford the asking price of. B) Likely aren't of age to have sold to you. C) Can't be bothered to use proper English. Please do so in private messages so we don't all have to read your pretty embarrasing scattershotting. P.S. incessantly /ɪnˈsɛsntli/ adverb without interruption; constantly.

Can i just put forward this thought: We're on an airsoft forum arguing which star trek captain was the best. We have acheived peak nerd..... Yes i know i started it.....

Anyone need a GBBR? I'm thinking £300 posted seems fair.

To the point where he's messaging about for-sales from years ago. But you'll have to post it, and he's only got £300 to give himself a birthday present. I feel such a connection to him now, I'm really rooting for him on his quest.

Can't beat a nice green tea with pomegranate and a well jellied pork pie with chilli relish; cold water pastry hard and almost shiny until you bite it in the summer. Failing that a beef and onion pie slathered in Colman's mustard and HP sauce. Quick two fingers of sloe gin in the winter and you've had the breakfast of champions. You'll be ready to take the world on.

I love his version of "CYMA owners".

Mmm, I'm not risk averse, and it's fine to do what you want with consent on private land. Public land, no matter how remote, is a huge no-no, as these muppets found out. However, liability is always worth bearing in mind. It'll all be handshakes and gentleman's agreements until someone breaks a leg, impales themselves on a rusty spike, or takes some balls to the eye, and then it'll be a question of "Who pays my mortgage?". You cannot contractually waiver away liability for death or personal injury. Generally you'd go after the deepest pockets. What I'd imagine would happen is that Crippled Cathy would sue the scrapyard for some failure in a duty of care (unsuitable use of the site, site was hazardous, site was responsible for checking gnus for hotness if they were going to let airsoft run there) , their PLI insurer (hopefully they have one) will initially say "Go away, not covered", and it'll end in a legal wrangle. If it gets to court the bench will say "You're not strictly liable, but you've got money, so pay up, then recover it from your client", the insurer would go after the site, and the site might then go after whoever was organising the games. Either way, it could get messy, drag on for years, and end up coming out of individuals' pockets. It'll be fine until it's not, of course.

There's nothing wrong with William Shatner "singing" Rocketman, he knocked it out of the park with his sophisticated cigarette smoking style.

There’s no problem until there’s a problem As it’s a workplace if an individual is injured then it becomes reportable to the HSE. (No need to report a non work related accident, but there is the need to report injuries to non workers) Its up to the owner to decide whether they need to report or not, if the HSE get wind of it and decide it was reportable then that’s a big issue For wider safety on controlled access a scrapyard will be in a better position than random woods - assuming it’s fenced off etc due to the nature of scrap and it’s value. Its up to you and the owner, provided nothing gets out, nobody complains etc then there’s generally no legal issue in itself. Provided things are run in a safe and controlled manner then things are less likely to go wrong, and if they do then there’s less risk of things going badly wrong. If something does go wrong then it can go badly for the business owner Meadows and orchards can be a different matter. Isolation probably means no one is likely stumble into a game, but it happens.

Harry1 really wants a GBBR.

A WADSN clone Modbutton for the MP5. Neat little solution with the M300 torch

this is a uk airsoft forum, with a majority uk based membership, and you have to remember moaning about things is a time honoured British institution.....

I've been order a lot of Russian gear recently. Last bit of kit I needed was a balaclava so I ordered. Bloody predictive text.

FFS @Adolf Hamster The last few months we have argued over worse/more stupid things so it’s kinda on par atm and imho feels quite “normal”

Yea man, scroll up / back a page.

LOL, no pictures of the whole gun since fitting the light and switch, but one not long before.

The crime is getting caught, something that should be kept private. copyright https://airsoft-forums.uk/profile/19415-magpietactical/

It was private land, the fine was issued for breaching the Rule of Six, no other action was taken.

I wish we didn't live in a litigious society, it's only lawyers who really profit. But sadly it's the reality that when someone loses their life, mobility or income, it very quickly becomes an issue of "There's must be a claim, even without blame." The significant case law is Volwes v Evans and the Welsh Rugby Union, where an unpaid volunteer referee was held liable for an injury to an amateur player. The Rugby Union's insurers ended up footing the bill, but mostly because courts like to award against the deepest pockets just on the practicality (if not fairness) of it. I'd get something on record that there is no organiser, marshalling or refereeing, and that everyone is participating as peers and solely responsible for their own actions.

What can one say?

Those are scary words to me ’Informal games’ sets off quiet alarm bells. The risks & lines of responsibility of keeping control of safety for both players and anyone else ’Local scrapyard’ brings in a business and the owners taken on a liability by permitting the activity - or there’s trespassing and more danger between people who are allowed to be there and those who are trespassing

If its good enough for patrick stewart ...

This might be why i am not making friends at site, i'm a (cheap arse) coffee snob, i bring the grounds and a filter....just use the hot water......... *tuts* free coffee ha!

Breakfast, lunch and dinner of champions.

@proffrink hey, as the admin you can perminatly delete comments right? I just feel this comment attacks too many of us ?

it's a character trait i don't understand. i mean if you wanted to out macho the other guy surely you'd be doing paintball instead? it's why statements like "oh don't be a wuss" really annoy me when talking about things like intentional headshots in this game, like disliking pain is somehow a character flaw.

Ok email from UPS..pay £109 to release your package. (Handling fees & tax) - Ok, paid.... Update!!! Your new delivery date is 30th June...11:00-15:30... Ummm, thanks UPS. Your shit!!!!

You know what everyone……. ……. I’m really missing the colourful background we had a few months back…..

In contrast.... a lad I sometimes play informal games with at a local scrapyard ordered from TG just before they stopped shipping to the UK. No UKARA number yet straight to his door, much to my surprise. No requests for paperwork, no problem at all. Silly situation.
