  • I wouldn’t say it’s odd, but ask yourself if YOU feel safe doing it. If you don’t, is there something you can do to make you feel safer?

    It may have no mobile signal but does the house have a landline phone for you to make a check-in call with other friends or your parents?

    Does someone outside of the group know the address of where you’re going and what day you’ll be heading back to where there’s signal? Can you turn on location sharing in your phone with some people you trust? Is there a way for you to meet up with these guys before hand to get a vibe check on them?

    It’s good that you want to push yourself outside of your comfort zone, but do not feel bad saying “no, I don’t want to do that” if YOU don’t feel safe.

    If you feel safe then great, have fun, and let us know how it went 😊




  • It’s not an expensive hobby to get into, I did my first game in about 10 years, enjoyed it so much that I got hyperfixated and went all in because I know I love this hobby.

    £110 for Airsoft rifle

    £180 on starter clothing (undershirt, shirt, trousers, imitation plate carrier, ammo pouches, pistol holster, gloves, mesh eye mask, and large bag to shove it all in)

    £40 spent so far on BBs

    £40 for first site session (outdoor woodland)

    £20 for second site session (indoor CQB)

    £40 for third site session (outdoor abandoned base)

    £50 on a piccatiny rail mounted torch with pressure pad

    Petrol costs travelling to sites, food, drink not included, I’ve so far spent £480.

    Having said that, I have nothing else to buy right now so that’ll last me a good while.

    Whilst I’m not in the shit financially from this spending spree, DON’T DO WHAT I DID, that was a bit reckless of me.




  • Got five words for you: Tabloid Press and Social Media.

    Very few here in the UK actually possess the mental facilities to understand what is going on, hence why the most popular pastime is getting drunk and shouting at a screen showing millionaires punt a ball around an overly manicured field for 90 minutes.

    All they know is that after decades of Conservative government and now under Labour, their lives haven’t improved since the 2008 financial crisis. It’s only gotten slightly worse.

    So they fall hook, line, and sinker for far-right grifters who’ll happily serve up easy to understand boogymen to blame all their problems on because these cunts promise radical change as a departure from the managed slow decline the middle neoliberal parties offer.

    In the end, these Gammons will vote for the Sunday Roast and I will take great pleasure laughing openly in their faces.




  • If anything the fact that the value increased is even more of a mockery of the high art world.

    It reminded me of that one artist that was arrested for fraud because they were commissioned thousands for an art piece and just took the money and ran. If I recall correctly, the charges were dropped because they successfully argued that the whole situation was the art piece and a parody of the high art world.
