That would be unreal, I'd definitely gve up for that. Could try get Vinny to go too, we were just talking about you Saturday BGO. He's excited about next weeks videos theme I think he said.

DinoRex

Sounds good.

I'll have my work schedule a bit clearer by the end of this week so I'll be able to bounce dates off you guys for a potential March meet up then.

Digital Solitude

Galway Beers could be the kick I need to finally call to one! Sounds great Ollie

Not far for me to travel so well up for that. I'm coming from Ennis so if it's convenient for anybody to get bus to there or Gort can give ye a lift the last bit.

Be a 3 hour drive for myself but I go about the same for pinball and that's up and down in the one day. I'd be game for it

Would be great for me actually if you don't mind. I know it's ages away but always good to have options open

BGOllie

CiDeRmAn

I can take a run past Limerick either, it's only another 30 mins in the journey

That site was amazing! was really sad when I went to read it one day and it was gone.

If I remember correctly the forums were hilarious too.

Dear lord, just read this page. It's hard to believe it's not a parody.

I do miss him from TV though, there was something oddly endearing about his utter arrogance. :d

Shapey Fiend

The forum was hilarious. People were taking the piss but he could handle it. He was quite a good TV presenter and writer it's just that he was bonkers as well.

New wallpaper secured.

I liked this example of his philanthropic efforts for the general population

I willingly travelled all over the country to play against anyone who could afford to pay my expenses.

And this list of heroes,

Muhammed Ali, Gary Glitter and Johnny Rotten

A famous sportsman/muslim/worker for peace
A pervert and child molestor
An anarchist muscian

An eclectic bunch

He's actually a tattoo artist now.

I wonder what he'd make of a Mario64 tattoo design? Maybe one of a seated Mario sliding off the edge of a snowy cliff? :pac:

Any update on this?
I'm away the weekend of the 23rd

DinoRex

I'll double check with Jean.

But maybe the 30th or the 31st. Think that Friday is Good Friday though...

DinoRex

So how is the 31st for people? Too close to Jesus's birthday or whatever it is?
