I should point out that there is a good and amusing reason why I am sometimes known to Joe and Joe’s family as ‘pepper boy’, but I’ll wait for a good opportunity to explain it properly, though I can’t imagine there will be many times that I’ll be talking about pepper in my blog, but who knows…Thanks for your comment, Joe.

Also thanks Andy for your comment and compliments within. Andy is one of the ones that joined me on my first paintballing experience. You’re right, Absmith was horrendously good at paintballing and perhaps you’ll remember that I didn’t actually want to join the optional final free for all game, Hindu gave me free paintballs and signed me up for it! Was fun until I got shot in the hand! Going again would be cool before I jet off, yeah!

Anyway, try to catch up with this when you can.

I am most envious that someone has decided to bestow an imaginary horse named Lulu upon you. I’m sure it’s a dream of most people that they will be contacted by a deranged stranger and granted the task of caring for an imaginary animal.

I must admit that I am impressed with your kill to death ratio from paintballing. No doubt that is inpart due to the lack of Absmith’s presence, as he was an utter skank, to use the technical term, and whooped everyone as I recall. If only he had been on our team. We’ll have to all go again sometime before you bugger off to Australia. Anyway, this brings me to the end of my comment (which I was in no way badgered for ). Happy blogging. Adios

No, in all seriousness i enjoyed some of your blogtastic entries- especially the exciting exploits of lulu the show jumping horse. You know im a sucker for equestrian stories of this nature (confused/sarcastic face.) After all, what else have i got to look foreward to in my hum-drum existence?

With regards to your paintball expedition, Im shocked, interested, suprised, concerned and amazed that… you woke up to sunlight!!! A nocturnal creature that addorns the dark and dusty environs of (a) his computer table, and (b) his computer chair 24/7, should take extra care to (a) not destroy his pasty, pallid complexion (after all this has taken many years of professional loafing to develop,) and (B) Take extra care not to pull any muscles. (Whilst your trigger-happy ‘fingers’ may be well oiled killing machines, paintballing is ‘NOT A COMPUTER GAME… i repeat NOT A COMPUTER GAME,’ and real physical exercise can lead to all sorts of unheard symptoms in your daily vocabulary e.g. Pulled muscles!

Anyways, keep up the good work, and i will promise to read these little musings all the time (whether at gun point or not.)
