4: Drink more. A lot more. (water, that is)
5: Snoring is to be classified as "against the Geneva Convention"
6: Never trust a person who doesnt drink when it comes to ridiculous ideas ;)

add yours...

17. Never offer to take a tripod off an axis player and give him a breather, half a mile later I turned to pass it back to him and he`d disappeared :D
18. Locaps are actually quite good to use instead of hicaps.
19. Don`t drink too much the night before as you might feel as if you`re going to pass out during the briefing :roll:

Dammit Keith, and i'd almost made myself forget about that. Still, at least most of those who participated in such shenanigans had the excuse of being completely drunk.

Apart from the person who kicked it all off! :roll:

20. More people from this forum are genuine friends than i could have imagined*, i wouldnt have been able to do the show without the combined effort of at least four peopel on here and a couple from Gunamn, so thanks guys you made grumpy fed up goth very happy for a weekend.

21. Take time out to play the game with people who are *not* your normal wingman or squad, its a great way of geting to know folk.

*A opposed to people you just know the name of and see games, maybe chat to on the forum but never really speak to.

23: When it comes to wood for the fires, ensure someone has a chainsaw :)

23.1: Ensure same person doesn't put a log on the fire that weighs about as much as he does. :lol:

23.2: Ensure the person using the chainsaw either has gloves on, or doesn't mind getting blisters on their knuckles.

24: Sand gets everywhere. Even into things you would swear blind were completely sealed and airtight.

25: Always bring more than 1 bottle of wine/pack of beer for the night before.

26: When you need to walk somewhere, avoid walking in soft sand. It makes things a fair bit harder.

27: There are 2 types of miles; English miles and Welsh miles.

27.1: 1 Welsh mile = 2 English miles; 1 mile for distance, 1 mile for the amount of hills you have to go up and down.

16. Pro soldiers don't leave kit behind

Was aimed at you Neil! (and everyone else who left misc stuff behind) but also said in the certain knowledge that Keith would throw it back in my face 'cos he is always telling me off for not having my rifle by my side at all times - I'm always leaving them propped against trees and promptly forgetting where I left them!

31. Buying a greatcoat just in case of bad weather is a sure way of guaranteeing a clear and dry weekend
32. No matter how firmly tied and sewn in place you will always lose one bit of bling per game
