I've been before, basically, if you don't want to get hit then stay behind some form of shelter, usually the place will have forts of some sort or damaged walls etc.

Other than that just go for it! And remember; its not an illegal move to shoot guys in the crotch :P

Shame on you Catherine for encouraging such foul play. I remember getting shot point blank in the leg once by some little rodent who crawled along the floor and crept up on me. It turned into the nastiest looking bruise ever.

Danni, just keep your distance!

Did you get the little rat? Also, Catherine, I think encouragement of such an act is shameful indeed :P

Haha, I was only kidding! Although, I did get a guy in that area once, never seen someone hit the floor so fast. :P

The bruises can be really painful and ugly. But treat them as battle scars!

I've been paintballing loads. It stings a bit but it's fine after 30sec. If you don't want to get hit then stay at the back. Also turn your gun upside down and fire. It'll make a sound but nothing will come out so you can keep enemies at bay! Steal somone else's gun and go on a Rambo rage is my advice!

Sometimes here, sometimes not.

Best thing I've found is to wear a bulky scarf around your neck - that'll stop any bruising there... Whatever you do, keep your protective headgear on, and try to learn how your gun 'leans' (the normal paintguns in these places never shoot straight) if you want to get anywhere.

I have actually seen someone knocked out with a paintball to the temple, but that *is* unusual... And in my experience, it does hurt and quite a lot if at reasonably close range (say <5m). Expect bruises.

It's some of the best fun I've had in a forest with a group of mates though - you should enjoy it!

couple of tips

If doing capture the flag, dont try and be a hero and just charge for it as soon as the game starts, I thought it would catch the other team off guard, it didn't and I got pounded (was quite funny though)

Also most painfull place to be shot is probably on the fingers.

I'm sure that advice has really calmed their nerves :D

Well we played 7 games and i didnt get hit once. There were other groups of people there and so it ended up 14 v 14 and there were only 4 girls altogether. My mate matt got hit in the crotch and apparently it still hurts now. I paid £10 more for and extra 150 ammo because i ran out halfway through. I got loads of people but i didnt get hit. I am quite proud!

That's just wrong you have no idea how much that hurts but I suppose you have childbirth & periods to cope with so it all evens out :evil:

Even?!? I think not. Your pain lasts for a couple of days. Ours happens monthly :/ Plus I'm pretty sure childbirth eclipses all pain.

I was told by my consultant that the pain I experience when my lower discs move and trap my sciatic nerve is the same as childbirth. The best way I can describe it is if you had an exposed nerve in a tooth and someone kept blowing it with cold air and poking it with tin foil.

      Summer on Radio 1

      By R1Fan1 · Posted

      I suspect they’re gonna tie the announcement into something, or they’ve changed plans. I know we’ve said it as a joke but I wonder if Aled was planning on giving it to someone like Danny Beard, but he’s decided against that after the last few weeks. Seems clear to me, though, that if Jordan hadn’t left, then Katie would’ve taken Dean and Vicky’s slot and Matt and Mollie would’ve stayed on weekends, which probably explains why they haven’t picked a replacement yet. If it was going to be the obvious choice, I.e. James Cusack, surely they would’ve announced it by now..?

      Summer on Radio 1

      Yep think they mentioned that this is their penultimate weekend of shows but then they will also be on air during Big Weekend and they mentioned they'll be doing 'Party Anthems' on stage during Big Weekend which sounds intriguing. Will miss Matt & Mollie on weekends - they in particular have made that Friday afternoon slot their own - but they'll be great on weekdays. Do wonder if 'Summer on Radio 1' is just a placeholder name until they decide on who will cover the interim. While it's obviously not the case it does feel like they've forgotten there's that weekend afternoon slot to fill given no permenant presenter has been announced for it yet.

      And Arielle mentioned in her Instagram post that her final early breakfast show is the 27th of June - the Thursday before Glastonbury

      When Matt covered breakfast on 22nd April, he said their new show was starting in 10 weeks, so that’d be the 1st July.

      Would love for it to be like the Summer Friday Thing that me and @DC were remisincing about recently. Lots of events going on that could easily form part of it.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/summer/cardiff/thursday/1.shtml

      I'm guessing there is also a stack of weekend events like Glastonbury

      I think more likely it'll just be a temp presenter for weekends 1-4 to give Matt & Mollie time off, plus time to plan and pilot the new show.

      By Dan18F1 · Posted

      Yeah I don’t think they’ll be anything that drastic - maybe a week or 2 of cover on early breakfast etc, but maybe just having that weekend afternoon slot covered over the summer means they can put someone on from September who maybe isn’t available until then?

      But they said the main changes would happen in July.

      I wouldn't be surprised if they do this around June time: 05.00 Ore Olukoga 07.00 Greg James 10.30 RMC 14.00 VKJ  That'll probably happen (for my guess) from the 17th June. And for weekends: 07:00 Sam & Danni 11:00 Gregor Davidson 15:00 Charlie Hedges Maybe Fridays aswell: 07:00 Greg James 11:00 Gregor Davidson 14:30 Jack Saunders

      The Summer on Radio 1 thing makes me wonder whether they might be doing something similar to last year again where they have a temporary schedule over the summer before introducing changes in September - maybe the new host won’t start until after the summer?
