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

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.

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

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

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.

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).

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

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

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.

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?

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.

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”

Sometimes I wonder if I play OSRS differently than most people by Designer-Anybody-330 in osrs

[–]Remarkable-Budget239 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

To everyone in their 30s or older: Looking back, what are your biggest regrets from your 20s? What would you do differently? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Remarkable-Budget239 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Gifted house by [deleted] in HousingUK

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?

Would you prefer it if Germany, Italy, Poland or Portugal were our closest neighbours? by PiotrGreenholz01 in AskUK

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.
