I saw the guy after and I had cut all his knuckle which was some consolation for the pasting that I got. He said he wasn’t going to shoot me because it was too close but seeing as I shot at him first they just let me have it! After about 20 shots were put into me from the 5 people I put my hands up to say that I surrender and they kept going! I must have taken about 30 shots! All good fun though! It was a good job I had my carbon racing gloves on as well, paintballs shot at cold hands are not a good mix! In the end we clawed back from a bad first couple of rounds and won, we had a real good day.
I flew to Qatar by myself on Monday the 3rd. I left home at 6am for my flight at Heathrow at 11:30am. Usually Heathrow is about 2 ˝-3 hrs from home. It was all going good until I got to the M40. There was a big accident there which caused a couple of hours of delays and I was sure to miss my flight. I got to the airport at about 11am and went straight to the Qatar Airways help desk to see what I could do. Luckily there was another flight at 3:00pm that afternoon so I got booked on to that one and then moved my car from the not-so-cheap short-stay car park.
We took off at 3 and then 6 hours later I arrived in Qatar to something that I didn’t expect to see; rain! It looked like it had lashed it down when I got the taxi from the airport to the hotel. There were big floods across the roads, rain was something that the Qataris didn’t look like they were very well prepared for at all! Also I had 'Fernando Al Bin Alonso' as a taxi driver, he was flat out aquaplaning through all the floods, loving every minute of it!
