Went paintballing this weekend for the first time - Delta Force in Crawley - a very big operation... so big that you get about 20 per team.
This meant my team was combined with a bunch of Pakistani guys from the local mosque - the full monty, big beards, skullcaps, white pyjamas, speaking Urdu.
God (or allah) forgive me but the second I saw my team-mates I thought "Uh-oh, training camp for jihad". It was particularly funny as one of my mates there used to be a sniper in the marines...somehow our moslem brothers got the idea that he was ex-SAS, which really p***ed him off.....
"SAS are ****ing army - I'm a Marine !"
Anyways, I had a great time fighting alongside both the marines and the trainee talibs but now I completely ache from head to toe.... I am not 17 any more and should not be trying to forward roll out of cover whilst shooting at the same time... especially with a steamed-up visor.
