yay paintball is cool, but i haven't done it in like forever. So I just listen to shippi talk about it instead, tis cheaper
I like playing pool, used to be really good at it, suck now though (or do I and im just trying to make money from people who think they'll beat me at a game
)I don't mind anything really, so long as its not football, which is dull. Used to play Rugby properly which was fun, glad I had to quit before I lost any teeth or broke my nose though.

TOURNAMENT PAINTBALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! rec-ball or wood-ball as most people play sucks ass....theres no other feeling like running past a bunker, nailing the guy twice in the back (bunkering), running on and grabbing the flag to win the game....
he he Shippi has met his match in terms of talking about balling...:E
sport: tournament paintball
hobby: warhammer (painting only as im good apparently), PC gaming, pulling apart paintball markers and learning how to fix them...
passtime: watch paintball dvds, read, listen to an insane amount of music, chilling with friends...the usual

meh if people have a problem, so what?
no no no no dont go for a mongoose.
you have to think how serious you want to get into the sport mate. you wanting to re-ball or tourney ball? thats an important thing to ask yourself before i can give you some advice :E
edit: ok just read you are looking at tourney ball...so the NEXT question is wether you want a marker that you basically turn on and start ripping, or one that requires a more technical approach and requires more TLC??
hehehe sorry Danimal weve gone way off subject...

well if youre looking for a marker that basically turns on and rips, youll want an Angel of some kind.
a more mechanical approach that needs a bit more TLC, youre looking at an e-blade or and e2 (same thing but has different electronic board, settings and trigger is more sensitive and therefore quicker).
you can get an Angel LCD (great starter gun, always reliable but not easy to fire as fast as the top market guns) for around £100, but an Angel Speed 04/03 or and Angel A4 can be picked up for around £300-400 (pro ballers in america use these so theyre good! ive got a speed 04, no problems). then youll need a bottle, preferably a 1.1l preset which can be nabbed for second hand for around £100.
check the classified forums on www.p8ntballer.com for anything...its where i get ALL my paintball stuff from. 2nd hand, nothing wrong with the kit.
an eblade with a full setup (bottle, barrel kit etc) will be around £500, but they KICK SOME SERIOUS ASS when set correctly...a beauty to behold ill tell you, and scary when the balls start rolling toward you :E

Sorry but paintballing is over rated, its too expensive to get hurt over and over. It would be better if you didn't have to sit out if you got hit once. You should have to sit out when you can no longer stand. Sorry i guess i just dont 'get it'
I love playing badminton lots, i seems to be naturally good, i think its computer game related tbh.
Swimming for hours is great fun, and a little football.
Passtimes include le musique, playing games or reading about biological stuff which i like, but i dont know why i do. Thats all.

Shooting (Rifles not paintball as the thread has gone about. lol)
Gaming
Politics/Debate
"management" <- I don't know, but I can dive into something I don't even know very much about but give me a team and I like to make it happen. Not in the sense of telling people what to do, as any valuable team member should know on their own, but moreso of planning it out and setting it in motion.

Surviving, hunting, exploring............outdoor type stuff.
(I must walk about 30 miles a week given the chance, and my legs are massive)
I used to love airsoft skirmishing, however no one can be bothered with it anymore......really it ended as soon as we left school.
And i like making things, buggering around with engines, electronics e.t.c e.t.c (nothing geeky, all stuff that either makes a loud noise or makes a smell)
