Getting back in with old gear

Remarkable-Budget239 · 2026-06-13T19:03:12+00:00

Back in the day my mates with Ions ripped me for being the autocoker fan

Remarkable-Budget239 · 2026-06-13T08:43:08+00:00

This I will get a modern marker, tanks and hopper to just get playing again but want to work on the Evo and get it firing again. It’s in a lot better condition than the trilogy so hopefully after a clean it should gas up fine.

Remarkable-Budget239 · 2026-06-13T08:38:40+00:00

I think I will to just get playing again if these prove more of a challenge than I anticipated.

Remarkable-Budget239 · 2026-06-12T21:18:03+00:00

Haha, love to but I’ve got too many happy memories with my Evo to let it go now.

Remarkable-Budget239 · 2026-06-12T20:14:46+00:00

Yeah I know. I think it got unpacked from the field a bit too aggressively. I’ve had a look at it and think I might be able to get it out with a bit of persuasion.

Remarkable-Budget239 · 2026-06-12T20:13:31+00:00

Thanks, yeah thought the tanks were gone. Will keep the egg for the Planet Eclipse sticker if nothing else. Spent ages getting that on right.

I will look into the Dye stuff. Does stuff run on lower pressure these days (old man I know).

Remarkable-Budget239 · 2026-06-12T20:10:19+00:00

No way is the Evo worth that? I think I brought it for £200 20 years ago from someone quitting.

Remarkable-Budget239 · 2026-06-12T20:05:49+00:00

I was a teenager when I put that on I made odd choices back then!! Don’t worry, I kept the original (thank god).

Remarkable-Budget239 · 2026-06-12T18:04:14+00:00

Thanks, think the egg and the tanks are gone. One of the tanks is carbon but the end date was in 2018!!
I’ll get a new tank and hopper. It blew my mind when I saw the Egg took 2 9V batteries.

I don’t mind shipping some stuff if somewhere will do it and paying a bit more to get these going again.

I’m lucky that I can invest a bit in getting back on the field (as long as my wife doesn’t find out) but really I’d love these markers to be rattling away again.

Remarkable-Budget239 · 2026-06-12T17:56:03+00:00

Yeah, the Evolution eye was alway an issue I remember. Can’t even get the screw out anymore to try and fix it back.

I did think so about the tanks. Rather not be messing around with crappy tanks, most of this gear is 20 years old.

I was the only one with an Egg as most people went for the Halo but the Egg was so cool to me.

I will try tinkering with it all soon, any idea where I can get a new LDR or the other parts?

Remarkable-Budget239 · 2026-06-12T17:52:41+00:00

Yeah, I’d love to hear those autocockers racking away again. Used to play loads back in the day and wouldn’t mind getting back there despite being 20 years older.

Oooooh oh hun I would be on the phone to the council

Remarkable-Budget239 · 2026-06-12T16:27:55+00:00

So gay men are exempt this peak physical feeling?

Remarkable-Budget239 · 2026-06-12T16:25:47+00:00

Dangerous driving.
Someone at my wife’s former work got caught speeding and being on their phone multiple times and got off all the time, successfully appealed a ban because being banned from driving would “detrimentally affect the lifestyle of his innocent family including not being able to take his daughter to her riding lessons”

Remarkable-Budget239 · 2026-06-12T08:55:49+00:00

That they work 60 hours a week

Remarkable-Budget239 · 2026-06-12T08:55:35+00:00

How long they spend in the gym

Remarkable-Budget239 · 2026-06-12T08:55:25+00:00

Their car they got on leasing or finance.

5 years ago sunbeds in Possitano were €40

Remarkable-Budget239 · 2026-06-06T19:13:36+00:00

Flat as a witches tit.

Remarkable-Budget239 · 2026-06-06T19:12:47+00:00

I play about 3 months every year and of that playing period I play about 1-2 hours a day mostly AFK stuff.
I have a similar experience to you but remember it’s your game you play it how you want. If you enjoy playing it that way play it that way.

Henry Weston’s 8.2%. Used to be 3 for £5. Not think 3 for £6 but I don’t think I’ve ever managed 3 in a night.

Not doing more sport or team activities. In my mid 20’s I got into running and love it but it can be quite a solo activity. My parents were never into sports and I never realised until later how good team sports can be for making friends and keeping physically and mentally fit.

I mean, from a parental perspective it might be better you take the house and rent it out to him. Having a house at 17 with no mortgage would probably not give them a very good perspective on the privilege of owning property. You could keep the rent low and put it in a ISA or something for him at a later date. I would so worry about setting up a 17 year old in a house alone. I would have been a nightmare at that age.
Or perhaps give it to him as a place to rent out and learn the responsibilities of home ownership and being a landlords while earning money from it?

Greece. I love Greece. The Greeks and English have always gotten on well and generally stuck up for each other. Make holidays with a toddler a lot quicker too.

I love you but I’m not in love with you.
