Or using a poisoned weapon. I like the sound of that. The sort of thing that Hal and Roger used to come up against in the Adventure seies. Nasty, darko natives with poison tipped arrows. Perchink, one shot in the leg and you're dead as a dodo five minutes later.

I'm up for unlawful wanton destruction. 'Wanton' is surely one of the best adjectives in the English language. Also, misusing a flag of truce sounds intriguing.

Actually, with all those rules, there's not really any point having a war in the first place, is there? Honestly. Stupid war crimes tribunal.

I'd be up for using child soldiers. Given that these days everyone's terrified of children marshalling an army of hooded kids and setting them loose on the UK would be a complete cake walk. Civilian shields, too. I mean come on - it's war. So hiding behind the sobbing wives and dauaghters of your enemy is going to be a winning tactic, you can't go fannying about with trying to follow the rules. It's not a game of Monopoly it's fucking war. Also, while I've got the wives and daughters on site... I mean whether I like to admit it or not, it's probably not going to be long before Warlord Bleak starts to consider moving into sexual slavery market. I mean, if I was mounting some kind of coup against civilisation that was probably my motivation in the first place. Mmm. concubines.

That would be good. Waving the flag of truce and waiting for the soldiers to walk over and take you prisoner. Then gunning the fuckers down when they got close while standing there saying 'lol'.

If these UN folk aren't careful, they're going to put people off having wars altogether.

I used to read these as a kid, absolutely loved them, and in a fit of nostalgia about a year ago I bought Amazon Adventure off an eBay trader. It somehow completely failed to grip me, and is still on my bookcase of unread books in my bedroom. Unfortunately this bookcase has done the usual thing of becoming unnoticed, so I'm never making inroads on three shelves of books that I've bought but never completed.

I'm not sure why there's such a downer on child soldiers. The last time I went paintballing, the oppo were a bunch of fat plebs who went every week and had their own "markers" (call them paint guns ffs, that's what they are), and a bunch of ten-year-olds at a birthday party.
We got whipped. It was like going up against a whole load of Kurtzs and shadowy little ninjas, who had freak inner ears, low centres of gravity, and were crucially not hung over. In summary - children rock at combat.

I dunno. Sometimes it just seems like you fill your house with monuments to disappointment - a big TV that diminishes everytime you look at it, three shelves showcasing books you started and never got round to reading. Stuff like that. I'm sure you're happy though.

lol, all it means is that i am a hoarder, there's nothing 'monumental' about having these books knocking about, i'm not exactly suicidal over the fact that i haven't got round to reading them yet because something else took my fancy at the time i was finishing a read and starting another.
ditto the tv - i'm very happy with it, thanks very much. i've had it for 4 years now and it's perfectly sized for the room. you took something i said which was along the lines of "fuck me when i bought it i thought it was enormous and we couldn't get it up the stairs and now it's part of the fixtures i don't remark on the size any more", and for some reason this has really stuck in your memory as some sort of marker for a general consumerist dissatisfaction on my part.

Ha! Not the lot who were present when we (a group of mid twenties to early forties men) went paintballing: they were sitting ducks.
Best bit was when I stormed a hut and wasted three of them in a matter of seconds at point blank range. It was like the bit in Apocalypse Now where Larry Fisburn shoots up the Vietnamese boat. Except that I wasn't sorry. Learnt some pretty unpleasant truths about myself that day, let me tell you.

I'd love to go paintballing. I tried to organize it for my birthday a year or so ago, but it turned out that I didn't have any friends. What about TMO paintballing? I mean, in place of real friends?

TMO paintballing would be unspeakable carnage, wouldn't it?

I've told this story before, but I doubt if anyone read it (except Thorn) so:
Last time I went paintballing I got shot up at the end by someone trying to use up his left over paintballs. You have to wear masks and overalls so you can't see any exposed skin and you can only recognise your own team or the enemy by your coloured armbands. So, anyway, this guy was wearing a brown armband and kept firing at me when I was hit, so I shouted at him, "Alright! I'm fucking dead! Stop shooting at me you brown cunt!"
Obviously, once we got out into the safe area and took our masks off, turned out he actually was a brown gentleman. FFS.

That reminds me vaguely of last weekend, when I was in Cardiff. Me and a colleague were in the hotel pool in the evening, having a little swim to unwind, and we get chatting as we're floating around, talking about how stressful it all was. He's got his back to the door. As we're talking, some dark-skinned fellow comes out of the changing room and gets into the pool more or less noiselessly. Cue my colleague, without realising the black chap was behind him saying "hey, I suppose if we were both Jamaican we'd be like 'heyyy mon, norr prublum, cheeeeell weeth eet!' ahhaahaha!!" while I just sort of cringed. The darkie glared at him a goodun and left shortly afterwards. It was an unfortunate incident for all involved.

I'm trying to work out appropriate TMO teams which would ensure that people were pitched against those they might have disagreed with. But with 4 years of frum history, it's a bit difficult. That and I mostly like everyone now and wouldn't want to hurt them.
