[H3XU5].lan - 15-17th August 2008 - Uttoxeter

[tiggerai]

Got home a couple of hours ago. Only took me 45 minutes to drive home luckily with little traffic. Think I'll push all the stuff off my bed and collapse in it now! Had a good time, but it's nice to be back with my own bed, a bit of peace and quiet, a decent Internet connection to myself and a proper wash and shower!

Amen to that.

Iz lovely to be in bed... a whole kingsize BED!

At least no one complains when I snore here...

although I am missing the 10pm UT rumble this evening...

[MadduckUK]

big thanks to our rai for getting that organized

[MaddAussie]

Great LAN, shame I didnt get to say high to you all, does getting pwned by Gerrard in COD 4 count and the two guys that came to Frankie and Bennies with us (sorry guys forgotten your names in my drink addled brain

There are showers at Uttox all you had to do was ask

[tiggerai]

I didn't need a shower, I permanently smell of roses!

I never even realised you lot went to frankie and bennys, I was dead to the world..

[MaddAussie]

Ahhh thats why you are called the fragrant sex

Did you get your rig working ok?

[tiggerai]

Yeah I did... One windows Repair later and it's running lovely as of Saturday at about 2am.

Have managed to get some good rounds in.

[MaddAussie]

Good! I wandered over and poked my nose in briefly but a) you guys looked like you had it covered and b) the ciders where having an effect and any help I could have given would have likely made things worse!

ps. sorry about Plat he doesn't come with a volume control

[alsenior]

@madduck: i slept on the floor with a line of chairs to prevent being stepped on

[JK Ferret]

Plat with no volume control? Who'd have thunk it? And it was cptwhite and either Gerrard or alsenior that went to F&B with you regular types.

'Twas a good LAN indeedy, at least the parts when UT was raging, since that's all I could play...

Me needs better PC, methinks.


Anyway, I got home about midnight, not bad considering the train isn't even in Bristol yet!

Arrive at Paddington 3hrs too early = epic timing FAIL
Eat, then get on the next train (2 hrs early) and get home with no challenges = epic transport WIN (for me, not them)
Get lost 3 times on a STRAIGHT road = EPIC EPIC direction FAIL
Be in time for the last bus home instead of getting a taxi = lucky WIN

So I'm pretty much even

You did? I must've missed that one...

Bring it to the next one then please That enough notice for you? And that's assuming I've still only got me crappy laptop, of course, I'm now looking at getting a proper PC to game with Once I get paid of course, this week has cost me a sizeable chunk of my month's wages

[Lee H]

heh - I got home relatively early at about 6pm after walking through Manchester with some carribean festival going on so that was a bit surreal.

I'll get the images I took upload once I'm in tonight and inbetween packing for another stay away from home. I'll not be able to upload the image of Loops and the ice-cube here so I'll add that to the other place

Tired ? Not half, but it was a great time and it was also great to put faces to names etc.

Next time I'll have my PC with me so I'll be able to participate in the random FAIL shoutings

[Gerrard]

Wow! Was a lot more tired than I thought. Went to bed pretty much after I posted, expecting a couple hours of napping, but didn't wake up until a full 12 hours later.

It was alsenior and cptwhite that went to F&B. I decided to try and get a couple hours of kip as well at that time.

[Platinum]

Wait till I get there...

NO-ONE is sleeping tonight I'll have you know

/mock, you were asleep by about 2am

[Platinum]

Can I just also say, Epic fail to the guy that turned up with the Multiplay Staff T Shirt on, Im surprised you managed to make it out alive

Oh and rofflechops at "Dr Harold Shipman is on a killing spree", "Dr Harold Shipman has killed himself"

Should it matter what people turn up wearing tho? Is it really that cliquey at GO LANs?

I'm surprised you're even posting on here given the bashing you were giving us lot on friday night.

(but yes, the UT game on saturday afternoon was muchos fun!)

So, thanks Plat for making us feel so welcome, its a good job I wasn't in the mood for a showdown really. I'll just put it down to the drink talking eh?
