Saturday of the Stag
Well with the plans finally discovered, we all met up at the paintballing area at 12:30, so by 1pm we were all geared up and ready to go. Ammunition was purchased, and guns loaded. We set out for six games.

Due to small numbers of people on the stag do, we played with the rest of the people there, and were randomly placed into teams based on odd/even numbers. It was a good day, with my team winning 3-nil over the 6 games. Unfortunately for the Stag he was on the other team, so lost. 🙂

I do kind of feel bad for him, since I was supposed to be on his team but switched sides so I had the chance of shooting him. I did manage to clear out the fort on the “Capture the fort” Game, and I captured the flag on the last game of the day, even though I had run out of ammunition.

[A SHORT PAUSE IN THE STAG OCCURRED FOR THE STAG TO RECOVER AND TREAT HIS WOUNDS]

Then It was a meetup in a pub for some drinks before ending the night with a curry. Hopefully he had a good night, to commiserate the end of his freedom. Then after a quick stop off to watch Doctor Who, it was time to return home.

Sunday of Sun
Sunday was very hot and sunny, The summer must be here at last. The downside of this was the light blaring through the curtains waking me up about 3 hours after I’d finally got to bed. So the chance of sleep gone for the day, I decided to go up the horseshoe pass for a coffee and to enjoy the view. Then continue down to cefn and a nice walk along the canal, and other such stuff to waste away the day in the sun.

Well just one more week left and this month is over, And I can have a relaxing month. with nothing planned. Just got 2 birthdays, a wedding, doctors appointment, 3 nights training, and a grading day left this month.

I have had to take a step back and look at some of my previous posts. And on further reflection I am maybe not as badly organised as I had previously assumed. For there are some out there a LOT worse..

As an example.
A few weeks back an email was sent out by a “best man” asking for willing precipitants on a stag do, which was to be a paintballing event, unfortunately the notice was very short and numbers were low. But never mind still plenty of time to reschedule..

A week or so later another email arrives. same message different date, so replies were sent asking for more details. Nothing… The next day Nothing… The next day Nothing…. The Next day Nothing…. Then as if someone was prodding them with a big stick an email arrives (the day before the actual stag event… Talk about cutting it close) with details. Well with a time and a place for the paintballing. But no mention of the food, drink afterward’s. In fact no details at all.

Now paintballing is basically crawling about in the woods. so you are going to get dirty, muddy, paint splattered even with overalls on. so you cant really go out dressed like that. so a change of outfit is probably needed, but what kind.. is it a nightclub drink where decent gear is needed. or quiet pub where jeans are acceptable.

Now the questions have been emailed back to the organiser, but judging by previous responses (non existant) the answers will never be known.

So, I’m not that bad after all

To make it worse the bloke in for a shoeing has pulled out so the hunt is off. and the shoes must be stored till the next time he’s seen…
