    Ah I didn't want to throw a spanner in the works, more just a reminder in case some folks watch it. Bit of a family tradition here to let the kids stay up late and watch it but I'll just record it and we can watch it Saturday evening instead. So I'll still come along anyway.

    Lol aye. It's a bit of fun even if the video game section it always rubbish. Miles better than TV3's offering which isn't saying much. :)

    Never been to one of these. :L I'd feel like a right clown going to one since it'd be full of people I don't know that well, any chance of a pub one of these in the future? :p

    Hey, this is an all included event, everyone was here for the first time once, even me!
    And, the only requirement is a love of games and healthy dislike of Streets of Rage!
    Come along, the only clown is the one who doesn't go.... and the clown who lives in the drains along the road, stealing children...

    It's good fun, sure sole people I recognize them but can't remember a name or username for so we can both be in the "hey... you" camp lol. You can just keep asking me who is who I don't mind.
    Mine is my last nickname so you'll already know mine, that's a start.

    Aha hopefully I can make it out sure! I should probably ask, where bouts would it be and is there a bus/luas near the host's house? :L
    Meant to check on this yesterday but I've been knackered doing Jury Duty.

    Sadly, no much in the way of buses or luas lines here!
    But there may be people travelling over from whereever you are, so let us all know and see what pops up.

    Thankfully I'm exempt from jury duty, that's because I'm a nurse, not because I'm a Mod of Arcade and Retro, which would be cool if it were true...

    If anyone has a free seat in a car I could put in a appearance. I missed the last one and this will be the last one of this year, next one in 2017.
