Dec 90 in the snow

[Pooperado]

We booked a xmas do at Wakefield, just off the M1, for about 30 people. We pissed it up the night b4 and stayed in the Holiday Inn. Woke up in the morning and it had snowed. Got to the site and the boys running it said the paint wouldnt work in the cold, but as we'd paid we insisted. Jeez it hurt real bad, and bcos they werent breaking the games just went on forever. In the end we gave in to the cold and took all the site guys back to the Holiday Inn for another piss-up. Excellent crack though.:D

marshalling in the snow is dire ... picking up ice cold air tanks and markers gets to your concerntration

When I used to fill gas, it was in the corner of the warehouse by the loading bay. In winter it was so bloody cold that I had to go stand in front of the massive furnace heater every 10 mins to warm up.

Its worse in summer though coz the bottles warm up too quickly after being filled and the rapid expansion of the CO2 made the burst discs blow.

I had 40% of my bottles popping regardless of how much or little I filled them.

I had one of my best times paintballing in the snow last year. [/random fact]
