Given the military twist in conversation, have we had airsofters yet? The video is one of the saddest things I've watched ( I lasted about 20 seconds).

I accept that it's a bit like paintball, but having seen these guys in action, they are something else!

Do share, for I've also wondered. carforumwker always seems to be in the comments of videos linked on here.

Fifteen years ago, I was in Chernobyl under the lead of Captain MacMillan for some wetwork. We had to infiltrate the abandoned city to take a shot at a man that was going to bring about world war 3. I remember making my way through several blocks of flats, again keeping a low profile to avoid detection. As we enter a kitchen my captain turned round and said to me "50 thousand people used live here". I didn't believe him though, it wasn't that big a flat.

I was sat on a Ryanair flight today waiting as everyone boarded - near the front. As you need to show the flight attendant your boarding card as you board I overheard one chap loudly tell her (the attendant) he's on seat 17 Charlie.
This thread popped into my mind.

I just hope they're on their way to remove all their laughably futile missing cat posters littering the lamp posts around our neighbourhood.
It's been two years now. Tiddles ain't coming home. Come and collect all your rubbish.

At least they are admitting to their Walting:

Search Vehicles

Our uniformed team will always attend in one of our fully equipped, specially marked, high visibility Missing Pet Search Team vehicles. This highly effective and unique aspect of our service plays a significant part in the search. The vehicles alone have resulted in several pets being reunited within a short time of the team arriving. Our professional appearance and equipment means that members of the public feel more confident in approaching us and allowing us access to gardens and outbuildings.

High visibility means a higher chance of finding your pet. The public notice our vehicles as they would notice a police car or an ambulance, prompting them to come and find out what we are investigating. This helps to raise the profile of your missing pet even further. On searches we display your pet’s posters inside the windows and strategically move the car throughout the day so people who come to look at the car will know exactly why we are there.

Security bloke at our place always gives us the reg of any trucks coming in by using Alpha Delta Tango etc but says it so fast i have to get him to repeat it slower.
First time he did it to me I replied Tango Whisky Alpha Tango, to be fair he laughed so he can't take it too seriously.

I'm guessing these guys would have no reason to be using their blue lights and the hard shoulder on a near stationary M5 today.



(Apparently they're a specialist in mental health patient transfers)

Oh, how I laughed when I saw them half an hour later, stranded on the hard shoulder with a puncture.

Surely for these fake paramedic people it's mental illness of some kind - true obsession and delusion
Yeah, he really does need some help.

Maybe after the appropriate counselling and with a good level of support he'll be able to sleep with both eyes closed.

I'd direct his energies and enthusiasm elsewhere, maybe get him to focus on his fitness?

Physical health is closely linked to mental health so perhaps encourage him to take up running, with the goal of achieving satisfaction by competing in a LIVE MARATHON or similar.
For a nutter like him, his sentence - a 12-month community order with 120 hours of community service - sounds more like an award

I saw a classic 4x4 response vehicle today when I was on patrol, Y reg Disco, big off road tyres, roof rack with ladder up the back, reflective stripes down the side, reflective chevrons on the back, and a BFO snorkel! My patrol partner thought I'd lost it as I burst out laughing thinking of this topic! laugh

It's not just 4x4s.
There's a biker Walt near me.
Wobbles around on an ex-plod Pan European all stickered up as a blood/organ transfer rider, full "BLOOD" hi-vis and white Shoei lid.
The slightly worrying bit is the panniers are marked up with biohazard warnings and the like which could create all sorts of delays for the real deal if/when he ends up in a ditch.
Anyhow, on closer inspection when riding past, this nutter has a little placard on the rear of the bike explaining how it's not a real blood bike but a "tribute" to all those who provide the real service, along with some guff about it being intended to remind people what a blood bike looks like so they'll know to get out of its way.
So he's walting at degree level, and yet seems to know he is.confused
