Access wrote: » Rightly stick the boot in as three of my mates bought tickets at full admission price beforehand and got shafted this time as others got in for free. How's that a lovely gesture? We bought tickets to 8 bit and then found others getting them at 25% less on the week leading up to the show and then anyone with a valid student card got in for free on the sunday. How is that fair after paying €20 a ticket weeks before? And even with all that going on both had poor turnouts. I do reckon it still is to do with the gamerscon last year putting people off after what happened.

I withdrew from the shop, head down, wishing them some sort of necrotic process of the nether regions.

(after bringing it out from Bray on a bus) Half way up O Connell Street, both wheels on the suitcase decide to buckle under the weight. :eek: Queue me having to drag the suitcase the rest of the way home with no wheels. Not one of my brightest moments. In my defence though, the monitor is now in my apartment and still works
