Conference Room

The definition of FUN, is that which causes amusement or laughter - a joke, a good story, a great game can all be FUN.

Dressing up in old clothes, covering your head with a woolly scarf, pulling a threatening looking mask over your face, taking a weapon and loading it with 300 rounds of ammunition and then shooting other people as often as possible... this is not fun, this is PAINTBALLING.

A large group of mad lads and even madder staff spent a pleasant afternoon last Sunday blasting each other to pieces, giving the staff, Miss Sherratt and Miss De - Vergori bruises where they have never had bruises before. This is not FUN, this is PAIN.

The definition of pain is that which causes suffering or distress. Suffering and distress were evident on Sunday. The bruises continue to cause pain.

The conclusion is therefore that paintballing = pain =fun = strange.

We continue to debate this issue in the Conference Room
