Here is the pic of my workmates and I at the paintballing - you can barely see my face as I have my mask thing on my head :o/

Achy Me
Went paintballing yesterday - It was fun but I don't half hurt today!!
Went with workmates - after the first couple of games we really got into it and started doing quite well I thought. Only problem was that the other team were cheating like hell. This however did not go un-noticed by the marshalls and although they won more games than us they were docked so many points for cheating (not going out when shot / not using the submit rule / starting before the whistle went / still shooting after final whistle gone... etc etc) that we won the overall battle.
YAY!
Seriously though it was a bit embarrasing. They just see who has come on the day and split you into even teams. We had 11 people from work and 2 other randoms. The other team were made up of 3 different groups. I started out thinking it was the group of younger lads who were cheating but oh no - it was the big burly grown men! Sad but true.
I don't really see the point of playing if you are not going to do it properly. Hey ho - I thought the marshalls dealt with it quite well and I'd like to go back and have another go. I think it would be more fun if everyone was playing properly so hopefully next time we will have better opponants...
Will see if I can get hold of the photo that one of my workmates took and also upload the piccy of my worst bruise.
It's quite impressive!
