This is true.

This time however I am enforcing a strict bus-when-carrying-heavy-bag rule.

I think we can get the train from the airport to Cannes, which from what I remember would leave us way closer to the hotel.

I am sure at this point you are well aware of my moaning capacity while walking under heavy load.

Is it THAT close?

You mustn't have watched the Beat By stream. Sako is the worlds best Rose.

Voa · 21-02-2011 8:57pm

...how did they know I play Tager 0.o

chopperbyrne · 21-02-2011 9:09pm

You had to tell them when you registered.

Either that or they searched for Voa Blazblue in youtube.

Doctor DooM · 21-02-2011 10:14pm

Hey Fergus, I'm going to put Skatan in the f*&king ground.

kurama_tengu · 21-02-2011 11:00pm

@Voa: Yes, I did my share of webcrawling to complete the lists (and learned a lot of not-so-interesting stuff by reading really old blogs...)

@all: My apologies for the lack of update today, I'm cleaning my flat/packing/cooking tasty snacks and it takes a lot of time... I'll update the website/spam the forums later tonight ^^.

Owwmykneecap · 21-02-2011 11:57pm

It takes a lot of time to spam forums like that man, each one having slightly different formatting..ugh, respect.

How many do you post to?

kurama_tengu · 22-02-2011 12:06am

50+ or something, 6h worth of work.

Sairus · 22-02-2011 7:45am

Can someone bring a copy of MvC3 with them tomorrow? I can supply BBCS and SSFIV, but I'm still lacking in the MvC3 department.

Voa · 22-02-2011 8:36am

Anyone brining a laptop? I kinda need some way to charge my MP3 player, but it only has a USB cable for power.

Will it charge off a console? I plan on bringing my xbox.

Doctor DooM · 22-02-2011 9:53am

I'm bringing a netbook and I have an xbox copy of MvC3 with me.

Doctor Doom, covering all your bases.

Shall we meet up tomorrow or just see each other in the departure lounge?

chopperbyrne · 22-02-2011 10:06am

Meet at the check in area of Terminal 2. I'm getting the Airlink bus from Heuston.

Do Aer Lingus use online check-in? Not flown with them in a long time.

I tried it with their website when I was flying for business but it didn't work but that could be an accounts issue as it wasn't on my personal card.

What time do you want to meet at?

More importantly, is there a place I can get a fried breakfast in terminal 2? I can't fly without one, tis a tradition

UberPrinny_Baal · 22-02-2011 10:35am

Guys I fly with Aer Lingus all the time, you can definitely web check in, but if your check-in details don't match your booking details it just bounces you back to the main page without telling you why :mad:

Most common thing that caught me was that my booking didn't prepay for checked baggage, but I was inputting 1 bag on the check-in form.

If you're bringing your 360 is there any point in me bringing mine, or visa versa? I assume there wont be two TVs in our hotel room.
And I used to charge my camera off the 360s in the XGC, so I assume that'll work grand.

chopperbyrne · 22-02-2011 11:45am

I don't mind bringing my console if you want to.

Sairus · 22-02-2011 12:03pm

Eh. I'll lug mine along anyways. I'm sure we'll find some use for an extra 360 over the six days :pac:

EDIT: Also, just to be absoloutely sure, I assume there's no issue with putting my stick in the carry on luggage?

EDIT Again: Anyone getting buses from the city into the airport? I think the Aircoach goes from O'Connell St every 20 minutes or so, so I'm getting that.

There shouldn't be any issues putting the stick in your bag but personnally I wouldn't. I just think it's too much to put into a checked bag, wouldn't trust it in the hold.

I haven't actually decided what bus I'm getting. You could always get the 41,16a or 747 from O'Connell St and save a few bob. Which reminds me, the flight is 10:45, right?

Sorry, I think I phrased my question wrong. I mean, can I bring my stick in the bag I'm bringing on the plane with me? I assume ye that didn't take the option for a check-in bag are taking your sticks onto the plane with you?

The flight is indeed 10:45.
Anything that saves me some of my precious moneys sounds good to me

Cheapo buses all the way!

However, to highlight my noobtacular flying skills again, how early do we need to be there, and what sort of ticket do we need to bring?
Or do we check in at the airport and they give us tickets or some such?

Finally, web check in is asking me to pick a seat number. Are yee sitting anywhere in particular, or do we just go random select?

chopperbyrne · 22-02-2011 2:24pm

Aer Lingus charge to select a seat.

Should be sit wherever we can.

Xinkai · 22-02-2011 3:58pm

I hate all you guys

chopperbyrne · 22-02-2011 4:31pm

You somehow managed to spend all your months wages in a week. It's your own fault.

Doctor DooM · 22-02-2011 8:03pm

9 am in terminal 2 then?

Sairus · 22-02-2011 8:14pm

Sounds good. See y'all then.

Owwmykneecap · 22-02-2011 9:08pm

So lads, can we expect twitter/facebook/irc/forumupdates with Text/Photos/Videos ?

Xinkai · 22-02-2011 9:33pm

No chopper, I'm not paying 230 euro for a flight to france is all. 191 was grand, 230 is not worth it.

That's a weird cut off point.

I'm sure you could have made up the €39 by being sensible in a couple of meals, or skimping on alcohol.

In essence: pack a lunch.
