Chapter 1 - The Rise and Fool of UK Paintball ...

[Razordave]

Hi Dave, I remembered the name coming from Heartbreak Ridge but I looked up the quote and it was buried in a webpage full of quotes from Full Metal Jacket but it may have been said in both movies, I'll have to check it out.

Dave, I found it.

Quote from Full Metal Jacket :-
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: You little scumbag! I got your name! I got your ass! You will not laugh! You will not cry! You will learn by the numbers. I will teach you! Now get up! Get on your feet! You had best unfuhk yourself or I will unscrew your head and sh!t down your neck!

Ok i give up memory must be going but sure it was in the entrance to the barracks, when they stand up to Eastwood, in fact i am certain gonna download the film and look

Chapter 2 is getting edited now ...

As I suspected Dave, it was in both movies :-

Heartbreak Ridge quote :-

"Swede" Johnson: I'm gonna rip off your head and sh!t down your neck.

Hi Dicky,
is the guy who was playing on Matt's team - if not apologies?

tiza5ive: Hi, I remember that Marcus Tandy guy [real name - Jesse Birdsell] - all the time he was on TV, it was a fun few months for me to say the least.
But your reference to 'Sunday TV watching post tourney/Sunday training ie Bullseye etc', I can't remember anything about that, please let me know coz my memory is crap.

I just looked at the viewing figures for this thread and it's the highest number of views there has ever been on p8nt in the period of two days, 1,111 views.
I'm not looking for any credit, the only reason I mention this is because I genuinely didn't believe a lot of the ballers now would be interested in a post this long or the subject matter.
It has restored my wailing faith in our sport to think we got ballers out there who might not have been around back then but wish to read things about our sport's heritage.
I've been proved wrong but in this case, I don't mind that at all.
Thanks for everybody's comments ... they are appreciated !!

I promise to get chapter 2 edited and posted some time today - thanks again guys !!
By the way - thanks to Jim, thanks to Dave - they know what for!

I can't believe you have forgotten about me already Pete. No you were thinking of Dicky who used to play for BC and has moved to the US now. I was in Shades and ShortTimers…. that should kick start the memory banks

Dicky, yes, my memory is awful, I remembered your name OK but not your identity, the 'Dicky' I thought played with Matt's team wasn't the one you suggested, this was another one altogether .. too many Dickys it seems.
