    Well, it looks like the planets are aligning and the omens are positive for a 50/50 chance I might possibly show up at this retro gaming gathering, depending on other factors.

    I'm usually around the Monkstown / Dun Laoghaire area but I'll be at a work thing until about 5pm in Damastown if you're around there?

    Cheers.

    Won't be able to make this :( car is not running at the mo and I'm not finished work until 7 so if I were to get the *shudder* bus, by the time I'd get home and get there, I'd probably have to leave for the bus again!

    Yeah I don't think I can make it without a lift... that bus only seems to go to Narnia 4 times a day I'd never catch it and be able to get home as well...
