Sailing sounds fun, never tried it before. There is definatly a fencing club and it's supposed to be quite good within university leagues.

Anyone up for paintballing in freshers week? I heard there is one near St Andrews. *Keeps reminding self that he needs to get the grades first...* (According to websites the nearest one is Edinburgh, but i'm sure someone said there is one nearer.)

Fencing also sounds intriguing. Paintball near St. Andrews? Count me in! However, I've never been paintballing in my life :redface:

Yay capsizing boats into an ice cold north sea. I should have taken up fencing at my school since it offers it, but meh it was always over-subscribed.

Everyone says paintballing is painful, but it really isn't! I've been twice and absolutly loved it! The most you'll get is a little tiny bruise for maybe a day. That'd be awesome to do on a spare day for everyone on this forum. Nothing says hello like paint in a ball propelled by high speeds by gas into your arm.

LMAO, nice idea Blondemoment, although i'm sure Scotrail might object to have several paint covered people on their trains. You actualy wear overalls for paintballing which are normally supplied.

Paintballing sounds like it would be loads of fun. I'm definitely up to doing it during fresher's week.

After my results i'll try and organise something then if I get in. :smile:

It's great fun, although if anyone's concerned about that I suppose there might be a Quasar (laser gun) nearby as well.

paintballing sounds like a blast.

being a bit dim i keep calling fencing jousting, and of course i know the difference but its one of those words that just does not compute. its similar i suppose, just minus the horse and the big stick.....

paintballing, im persuaded. running about in a forest with multicoloured bruises what can be better?

I heard paintballing is something else in the Usa, or has something different to it. Where you just chuck paint filled with balloons at each other?

No, hehe; it's still the same thing.

Ta Icecradle, i'll have to look it up nearer the time.

We shall see Blondemoment, I don't actually drink though. :tongue:

It was in a film sometime ago Bdarnell, i'll have to find it. Still you'll have great fun.

Reply 398

ah fair enough and i shouldn't knowing the consequences. actually thinking about it i haven't drank for about a month. Needless to say you will be incharge of those of us fancing a dip in the north sea. don't let me drown.
