I'm think of heading over on Friday.
The biggest unanswered question is where is the money? [1CCS]

I'm just as bad! I can only really remember haircuts and not faces. Heads are just featureless flesh-coloured balloons to my eyes. I get very confused by hair dying. My wife takes the piss all the time.

And sorry I missed you again DEL! I agreed to talk at a conference months back, and suddenly it's a week away; a fact I only remembered on Saturday. So I spent my whole weekend readying slides for a talk I'm never going to get to practice before delivering it to about 300 people. If anyone is in any need of bricks made of feces, I'm currently producing them in abundance.

Who's down when this week? Thursday's better for me, but I can make Tuesday...

Was good to hang out with you DEL, and everybody else. I did not realise Taylor came all the way from Coventry... only for the guy to turn off the Progear machine when he tried to play it.

I'll be down tonight and Thursday.

Join the Anti Sealed Game Defense Force chaps. If you have a sealed game, open it up and video it on your phone or whatever. I'll be opening my copy of Final Fight Revenge as soon as I can get to it, that should knock about £100 off of its value.

I should be around next Tuesday, by which time the MMP 1cc should be firmly in my sights, if my practice at home is anything to go by!

It's be good to meet you Cherry Chunks.

I'm definitely on for tonight. Sent the magazine to the printers last night, so I'm free! I forgot to bring my Esp.ra.de PCB today though. Next week!

See you later tonight!

We're down Casino every week Jericho, so join us some time!

Great to see JDE, hzt and Dan76 last night. I am well back into Progear!

Next week I'm in Birmingham Tuesday. I'll look at the timings as I still may make it back. If not it's Thursday for me. Either way, I'll bring ESP.ra.de along.

Thanks everyone for letting me know the channel was invisible. Gits. :)

Chi, you said you had some sealed shmups to open, can you video them on your phone and send them over. I don't mind having a stab at this just for fun, but it won't work without contributions. :wink:

HAHA! Skykid, that unsealing would definitely drive those sealed game collector idiots insane :lol:

jericho - Pass down Goodge anytime but most likely you'll find CHI, spadgy or the other regulars. I'm in Brussels for a year or two and making trips to Mecca once every 3 months. Joe is still in Arizona (last time I heard).

Regs,

I've never heard anything official. I'd hate that to be the case!

Folks: specifically Dan, Chi and James. I'm in town but can't stay too long. Monday would be perfect for me if you can be available in Casino after 6pm (so Chi can be around.)

I'll bring all your stuff then. Don't worry about cash, just do Paypal for everything once you're all happy with it. Let me know if this is all ok for you.

Remind me to bring my own copy of Blazblue to give to Illyrian so he'll stay jinxed! (Also have one Deathsmiles PAL that's gathering dust... it's so hard to give those away!)
