    I picked up some bit in Marks earlier... mini sausage rolls and the like.

    I also popped into Rage... but they had nothing good.

    Atavan you really need to update your DC region mod, the switch method is now gone the way of the dinosaur. The Link83 bios is where the cool kids are at...

    Docentore was selling them a while back, not sure if he has any left though. It's a hybrid retail/dev bios with the Katana intro & is region free. Damned cool

    Atavan still owe you for the game, I won't forget and Ciderman hope you thanked Ciderwife for us onomnomnomnom. Will be getting Slenderman during the week, wasn't even scared of it :pac: and will upload the ending to Dinorex.

    I'm raging that I missed this.

    I'm getting in touch with the organiser of the next one well in advance.

    Does anyone fancy playing with a Dreamcast Broadband Adapter? ;-)

    Thanks for another great night although there was a surprising lack of CDi. We finally got to see the end of Dino Rex, it really was a beautiful sight. Also thanks for the bacon pancakes and cidermans missus for the BBQ food!

    I know he was the scourge of women everywhere and was just too good at games, making us all anxious to avoid playing against him but was murder really the answer?

    Absolute heaven

    Really fresh food taken from the ground/bushes/trees

    Cooked in many ways with 2 great bbq nights

    Some Lots Cider and Real Ales

    And a great time with the locals who were in the Olympic spirit

    Watched a bit of cricket (And was asked to play but i was pished)

    Cycled for countless miles

    Collapsed from the heat:o

    Went to Cadbury World

    Shot a bow

    Watched Magic

    Got into a round with 8 welsh lads (Big story for next beers:D)

    Woke at sunrise every morning (Bloody animals)

    Got My Kindle

    And of course i introduced a few of the natives to the joy that is Boulder Dash



    But after all that i really wish i had made it to the beers. ;)
