I ache...

Well after a fairly lazy day on friday, went to the cinema to see "Wedding Daze", tis a chick flick so Debz enjoyed it, wasn't too bad, Isla Fisher is a fairly tasty lady ;)

Saturday, we went paintballing! we left home at 8 to go and collect Gav and Gaz then head off to Lutterworth for an action packed day!

Expecting rain i took plenty of layers, as we all did. Though for most of the day it was overcast then the sun came out...me and thinking its going to rain, then it been sunny is probably a good theme of this blog so far.

So we arrived and checked in with the manager, who in turn gave us the uber sexy overalls which we threw on over the several layers. Then after an introduction and a talk about the site rules, we got our goggles and head cover thing and were ready!

We got our guns, loaded them and went out for the first game. The first game for me was a bit of a drab affair, as my performance was, well, shite. I was the first out and after discussion, i'd not even been hit properly as the paintball didnt explode.

Through the rounds i got progressively better, which was a brucey bonus. Then came lunchtime, well, that was an event i'd rather miss, it was like a concoction of my least favoured foods. Mushroom, Onion and Carrot all together...in a slop with new potatoes as a side attraction...they were nice.

After lunch we played again, with the best games, personally, taking place.

The first of them in the afternoon was last man standing, in which we were men down due to people running out of money, and the other team cheating and hiding in the back corner. At least our team advanced to find them.

Secondly, one player from each side was given immunity and the power to bring players back to life, but they had to wear a coloured flag ontop of the head-gear. Gav nominated to do this, the mad bastard. Though the other team had a cunning plan, that sadly involved me. They'd shoot me, wait til Gav has healed me, then shoot me again. Though this brought a classic line. Gaz took a shot to the face, so when he shouted for Gav, he arrived with the comment, "Nice Shot!" and wiped his viser clean, twas an epic moment.

Thirdly, the final game of the day, a kind of last man standing/use your bullets up game and im proud to say, Me and Gaz were the last people off. During the game i managed to shoot (several times) while shouting Yipee-Ki-Yaye Mother F****er the person who'd mercylessly shot me in the previous game. Also in the game, accidentally she tries to tell us, but Debz shot Gavin!

Today though, being the day after, i ache, from all the walking, running and falling over yesterday.

It was a truly quality day, and one that im very thankful to Debz for getting me for my birthday.

Next up...The Speedway GP in Cardiff next Sat
