That's awesome!! Congrats on 50 years!

It's pretty fun and there is NEVER a dull moment when I'm in there playing.......LOL
🤣

Let start with your clan name?  Flying_Dutch
    Do you have any nicknames? Personal or in game? Not overly – though Raven has taken a liking to Flying_Crutch – read into that what you will
    When and where were you born?  So I was born at 05:40 on the 11th June 1978 in a recently made City of Colchester in the UK
    When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?  I didn’t really have an idea of what to be as an adult
    Where have you lived?  Colchester, Chelmsford, Brighton, Exeter, Scunthorpe, Plymouth, Stevenage, Camborne, Penryn, Manchester and Liverpool    
 
    What got you into gaming?  My brother used to play Medal of Honour so I followed him.
    Your first game you played? Pong – very old game
    And what do you play now? COD4
    Why did you join XI?  I found the server and joined up ten years ago and never looked back.
    What do you get from being in this clan?  It’s a lot of fun.  The players are good fun and its always good escapism.
    What is your favorite hobby? If I had the time I’m sure I could evolve it past wine.
    What is your favorite travel destination?  Anywhere with a beach and hot men.
    Are you married?  Not yet, but if Wildthing is reading this – you know where I am.  *wink wink*
    Do you have children? No
    What kind of pets do you have, if any? What are their names?  So I have a cat called Kit.
    Are you a sports fan? If so, what is your favorite team?  I enjoy what I fondly call spectator sports.  Sports that can keep my occupied visually.  So diving, running, football.
    What causes are you passionate about?  I’m passionate about any cause that puts people and their success first
    Do you volunteer? If so, where?  I am a non stipendiary Priest
    What is an interesting fact about you?  I would guess being a Priest and a gay one is quite interesting.  Its unusual for it to be public knowledge.

    Have you continued your education past college or university with career development seminars or classes? What kind?  Well I guess not overly work related.  Gained my intermediate amateur radio license, qualifications for taxi licensing and alcohol licensing.
    Did you know what profession you wanted to work in when you started college?  Well no
    Did you belong to any professional organizations?  So I belong to the Institute of Licensing and the Licensed private hire car association.
    What is your current job title? Well I have a couple.  So I’m a director of my Taxi firm and a Diocesan Bishop
    Did you win any awards or recognitions during your education? Sadly not.
    Where do you work?  So I work within my taxi firm and within the church as a whole
    What other job titles have you had in your career?  I was an educational officer for a wildlife park and I have also run pubs and clubs
    Where else have you worked?  Zoos, Pubs and clubs.  Was a DJ for about 8 years
    Why did you choose to work in your industry? Well Taxis made it easy to study theology for my Priesthood because I’m self employed I can stop and start.
    Why do you like your job?  Well both can be rewarding and tiresome equally.  However the ability to grow with others is a huge plus point
    How would you describe your career?  Tangible.  Its where it is and jumps when it needs to.
    If you could give a younger person career advice, what would it be?  Its your life and what you decide today may not be what you want tomorrow, but that’s ok!
    Are you involved in any professional/ non-profit/sports organizations? If so, do you have a title or rank within these organizations?  So within my denomination I am a Diocesan Bishop which is basically an area manager.
    If you were granted 1 wish, what would you wish for?  I guess I would love people to accept others more.  I find the world is full of people who struggle to understand others and then use that as a barrier for acceptance.  You know none of us understand everything, but a smile and acceptance goes a long way!
 
So to give you guys a bit more on me - I've attached some pics - my desk - where I write sermons and kill people.  My cat, My beautiful taxi - Mercedes S350d Long AMG Line.  Me out at gay pride.
Thanks for reading and as always.  If i'm AFK on the game its because i'm on grindr as well.  
Thanks to all of you for making the ten years so far be amazing and I love each and everyone of you!!

PVE base building server with 5x loot drops is alot of fun. It takes FOREVER to do anything on a non modded server. You can easily run around for 12 hours straight, just trying to get decently kitted. Worst thing is when you do run around and barely find enough food to stay alive then a damn Zed hits ya and you get a blood infection and slowly die alone in the middle of no where.
 
I can't play DayZ any more because I could easily stay up for 24+ hours straight playing the damn thing. It's not good for your health lol.

XI has one of the coolest mod servers up right now, and a insane clan base that will be a event for base raiding as population grows. I also put up a discord associated with this server as well as advertised XI clan website in game. Of course i put a ramp on top of the base, what could go wrong
Discord https://discord.gg/DsQmc4qrMd
even if you don't play its a XI discord, feel free to join
What is Dayz, its a survival game and its constantly evolving so its sandbox style. Post apocalyptic, so you need to scavenge to survive. And beware other players want the contents in your backpack so survival among others as well as survival among hungry bears, wolves and of course the occasional nest of zombies. Build a camp in the woods and stash some items and prepare to defend from base raiders.
The XI base is concrete so good luck raiding, i encourage they try. the pictures dont do it justice.
Special thanks to Beargoat, Overkill and Stephanie for all the hours of support to this project.

Had a lot of visitors

Awwwwwwww cute!!! 

Went to meet my new Granddaughter today and also had a good breakthrough with my 5.5 year old Granddaughter!
Quick backstory, Stormy was an asshole teen in and out of jail and got a gal preggers at 17, she knew I was not Father material at time into drugs and jail and just on a bad road in life so did the best thing for herself and the baby and left while still pregnant (and me in jail) by time my life got straightened out my son was about 7 or so and was being raised by another man and they told him HE was the father. I didnt want  to upturn his whole life and figured I did enough damage already not being there so left it all alone, well he contacted me about 7 years ago and we opened up dialogue and have been talking for years, i left the ball in his court as to meeting, his mother still denies to him that I am his Father and says we are all lying, quick DNA test proved he is mine so we met before Christmas for the 1st time (he is 29 now, 30 in a few weeks) and have met up about 4 times since and this was the 1st time the 5.5 year old opened up to us, called my Mom Gi Gi (short for great grandma) and gave me a hug when we left! 
Its all a weird situation that we all trying to make the best of, my son and his wife are so amazing in it all and have said these kids WILL know us as family and thats that! Such a sweetheart he married!
So heres a few pics of my newest granddaughter Rilynn Faith Randall and big sister Alivia! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yup,.Stormy is a grandpa!!!!

Beautiful boat!  🚤

Dick Compensator ????
 
Here's mine
 

My puppers Lily getting to be a big girl. She my bud and follows me everywhere and loves to be out when I BBQ. For a guy who didnt even WANT a dog, she has quickly become my best bud! 

ummmmmmmm, actually it is, noone is saying its a GOOD playing style, but, its a style.... just saying...
 
 
ON ME ON ME ON ME!!!!!

I have dealt with this for many years and conclusion is some just do not give a shit about score or even learning new techniques...Believe me I have tried !
Oddly enough over the years we have had a player known as (beginingplayer) never talked and would end every round like 0 and 100...Over the years I finally got a chance to talk to him one on one and he spoke English and was in his late 80's and said he just enjoyed running around and listening to everyone and of course getting shot every 2 1/2 seconds...Funny thing is I showed him how to bash and that turned into his new motive and he got good at it and would wack the shit out of all us...
I guess the moral here is we do not know who some of these people are and may not even enjoy their lack of team play or skill but despite all that they come back time and time again and in some way we are helping them escape real life troubles of their own and I guess that is all we can be thankful for because one day there will not be many of us left to come back...I get what your saying 100% but just giving my one pence

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to let you all know that I’m probably gonna be offline for a while and tell you a bit about what I’m going through right now.

A few years ago I discovered that we have a rare genetic mutation running in the family which causes stomach and breast cancer. I had my own DNA checked and I also carry the mutation. The stomach cancer is the worst part of it, because it is very very difficult to check for it. I’ve been at risk since I was 20. If bad cells would spread at any point beyond the stomach, there is basically nothing the doctors would be able to do for me. Same thing if I would get any physical complaints at some point. So in the past years I’ve been under surveillance by the best specialist in my country and they did find cancer cells. They say the bad spot looks calm (not growing through the walls of my stomach), but because it’s so difficult to check them right and because I’m still so young, they’ve advised me to take action. And the only possible action is to remove my full stomach in surgery (the global guidelines are to do this surgery right away when someone is just carrying the mutation, the check ups are new). And yes, it is possible to live without a stomach. This is what they will do in surgery:


So that’s why I’m getting surgery coming Tuesday and I’ll be gone from the server for a bit. I don’t know for how long, because recovery is so different per person, as are the long term complaints. So I either might be back quite soon, being all bored from not being able to do much, or it might take me a while before I have energy to do anything at all. We’ll see. Anyway, as you can imagine it will be a very intense surgery and recovery will take a long time. I’ll have to figure out how much I can eat at once, what kinds of food my body is able to handle after, a whole new rhythm of eating every two hours without any feeling of hunger, and all the symptoms my body is gonna throw at me whenever I make a ‘mistake’ in these things. Etc etc.

That being said,  I just wanted you all to know.  Also, I’m very bad at responding to texts and messages, especially when there are many and I’m not feeling well, so please don’t be offended if I won’t respond to any or I would respond with an emoji only 😬 Just know that all and any support is appreciated ❤️
