Arcade and Retro forum beers! (AKA the night of the scandalously drunk retro geeks)

CiDeRmAn

Can't do it, probably be in Sligo with my better half, I'll make pantrylads though!

you lads up for coming to mine sometime in January? On the plus side, I cant really rule of enternow my own house!

pantrybeers is it still going ahead?

CiDeRmAn

He'll probably be the first person to host a Beers but not be able to attend it at the last minute!

Although, to be honest, I always figured that honour would go to EnterNow!

Tis! Havent set a date yet as enternow is doing a cap kit on my cab soon. Just want to make sure thats up and running again first.

Are there any saturdays over the next few weeks which would suit folk best?

DinoRex

26th and the 2nd are probably out for me.

CiDeRmAn

When I get the cab installed here I'll see about hosting one, might be later on though, might see if we can invade Mordor, I mean Retr0's gaff before then!



Alternatively hows about a southsider Beers?
Save the likes of Pdbhp, Johnny and Atavan from having to trek over here

DinoRex

Saturdays are usually okay for me to host as well.

Will look at doing it again in Feb.

Come on then, we're still no closer to a Beers date!

I work most weekends so any date really suits me. I wouldn't be able to host anything for the foreseeable future as I don't have a free gaff anytime soon.

CiDeRmAn

I don't mind consulting with the management here and host another one, but I think peeps may be getting a bit bored over here, or at the very least tired of the long drive!

o1s1n

I could do Saturday the 2nd or Saturday the 9th?

Dinorex said he might not be around on the 2nd though

2nd is very much out for me too..

Anyone ruled out for the 9th?

johnny_ultimate

Cool for the 2nd or 9th. The following two Saturdays will likely have film fest stuff on, so early Feb. would definitely be best!

Oh, and just a general thanks to everyone who has hosted / will host these evenings. I'd love to hold one myself but alas my house just really isn't setup for a major influx of retro gamers (plus, y'know, Bray ). It's much appreciated those who can!

o1s1n

9th it is so!

Will see if I can get my A1200 back up and running beforehand. Coupled with that Commodore monitor we can have a little Amiga workstation corner for Dinorex.

pdbhp

Yahey a beers, I'll be there.......... unless the rule of Enternow happens

o1s1n

To stop the rule of Enternow happening, everyone who turns up can take a complimentary piece of golden wallpaper.

Roughly translated "Im redecorating and you are helping"

:pac:

I should be on for this cant wait

o1s1n

All I'm saying is a pair of overalls wouldn't go amiss...

CiDeRmAn

9th of Feb sounds good, old Kerb' is getting hitched on the 2nd so I would have only been able to come over for a while....

DinoRex

9th is good for me.

CiDeRmAn

Given the venue, is this a smoking jacket and pipe event or are pants optional? (like in Atavans)

DinoRex

I'll dispense with the fedora and wear my top hat.

o1s1n

Pants are optional, but monocles are a must!

A pantsless monocle party?! Can't wait! Have a pint of bourbon ready for me so I can look classy

I say go the whole hog and get a bottle of Brandy, and make a Pikachu monocle..

o1s1n

Should I put a lock on the drinks cabinet to deter atavan?

Or would he be one step ahead and bring a lock pick kit?

You just admitted you have a drinks cabinet. Rookie mistake.

Dr Bob

drinks cabinet eh? candy or just plain oul woody?
yeah 9th should be grand for me so.

o1s1n

You mean you guys don't have a drinks cabinet?



Next you'll be telling me you don't have a piano either.

Alcohol doesn't have time to reach a drinks cabinet in my house.

Retr0gamer

In other words atavans mam keeps the booze under lock and key because just like the gremlins if atavan gets at the alcohol after 9pm all hell breaks loose.

I'm saying nothing as the last time I fell foul to the rule of Enternow.

CiDeRmAn

Wow, better not let Atavan know I have a cabinet full of drink in my house..... oh, bugger.....

o1s1n

Just an update, so as my cab is now fixed and working again, we are 100% good to go on the 9th

Awesome!
Now, just hide the priceless artifacts and lock up the drink, perhaps release the hounds!

I have it pencilled in on the calendar, doing a course on Pantry Appreciation!

Can't he have both?
I mean, a night of gaming bliss in O1s1ns is a rare thing, Shirley!
We'll buy him drink!

He wouldn't know the address or how to get there, his chauffeur would though. You're looking for something like this. :pac:

O1s1n was once asked the price of a pint of milk. He got it wrong as it had been some time since anyone but his butler had done the shopping. So he bought the dairy and set the price of a pint to what he said it was.

She is kept on retainer to run his summer home in the Cotswolds, for when he likes to get away and shoot some poachers...

Clontarf. Really handy to get to. 10 minutes on the 130 from Abbey Street.

MrVestek

Ohhh handy, I may just make it to this one this time! :-)

There's too many birthdays around February between friends and family so it's the only day I can have it unfortunately
