Just wanted to see if there were any fellow forum scots making their way down to the Retro Ball.

I haven't got a ticket or anything yet as I ain't sure if I can make it, but I might try and wangle something, who knows? as it would be nice to see fellow forumites in the flesh. :D

Well I'm from Scotland :D , but I can't make the retroball though :(

come yo scots, cant let the welshies (boyo) and the englishies (me) have all the fun

Sub Zero is coming and he is from Scotland!!!

I had remembered you saying that someone was going, Boyo. :)

I was curious just to see how many and it don't look good, eh?

Give it a little more time... yeesss... :D

Don't suppose he said how he's gonna get there, did he?

Will ask him - u never know there may a few more Scottish ppl - tis a bit of a trek for u guys :o

I'm coming down from cumbria, which borders scotland. There's so many jocks in cumbria that it might as well be in scotland. :D

I'd love to come down from where I am in Melrose, but I suspect the weather might not be suitable for motorbikes at that time of year :(

Paul

well lets be realistic shall we, get of yo bike get a train/bike/bus/car to retroball, its gonna be good

im subzero and im meant to be there!!

I think I might be going. I'm from Dundee. Turrican you checked out any price for train fares etc?

Come on you Scots. What about a bit of England V Scotland @ Halo 2? :o

Nah how about Sensible World Of Soccer :D

Deal AlzoXP !

i reckon just the original sensible soccer, i'd cane all yo' foo's

Mr Jon Hare (and of course u guys know who he is..!) will be challenging ppl to Sensible Soccer on the Amiga 1200 :D

Yeah and we are not talking the easy Megadrive verion that allowed all you noobs to run with the ball at your feet KAPEEESH

If only Mr Weah played for scotland :D

hey foo' :angry: I had never even played sensible on a console until I got it for my snes last year - I'm an amiga head, I dont even play sensi on winUAE I dig out my A1200 :D

Is that kinda like fighting talk :P

Real men played Kick Off 2. :P

I'm trying to organise time-off to come down to the ball. Is the ball on for the whole weekend?

damn straight :lol:

Saturday AND sunday - saturday is going to blow everything away!

Sat - 10.30 to 12 midnight
Sun - 10.30 till 5pm

also I'm sure if you really wanted to, you could come on the sunday and help 'set up' ;)

check with boss man boyo :D

Is there a link for info such as where/when/how much/acommodation?

http://www.play4charity.co.uk/

there ya go mate ;)

Well, I've done some calculations, spoke to mrs.rossi, worked out the distance (275.3 miles according to my gps) and it looks like I can provisionally attend - Yaaaayy! :)

It all depends on sorting out my on-call/time off with my work, but here's hoping.

Paul

How are you gonna go down to it rossi? I might be able to get the time off too and we could poss. go down to it together kinda thing :)

Turry


You got PMs buddy :)

Well I'm getting a flight down sat morning cos there is no way I'm sitting on a 7 hour train journey. I think boyo maybe pickin me up from the airport (Birmingham) although dont quote me on that he'll probably kick my ass for making up stories (again :D)

Anyways my flight leaves from edinburgh getting there about 10 in the morning i think...

Yes indeedy... sent ya one back el capitan :D

I think we're driving down - with Turrican as a possible passenger - YaaaaY!



GET- IN! :lol:

So any other Welsh people coming.... :unsure: :unsure: :unsure: :blink:

Rossi,

You still thinkin about headin down?

I'm sorry I haven't been on a lot recently, had a lot on my mind blocking retro gaming..... bad Turrican... :)

I'm just thinkin about goin for the hell of it... besides, I think I'm owed a few pints if memory serves me :D hehe....

Let me know what you're planning and then I can try and take the required days off work.

turrican get ur arse down here LOL i'll buy u a pint mate ;)

Well thats Friday, Saturday and Sunday taken off. Just got to figure out the rest of it. I suppose if I don't make it though, I'm missing the XBOX 360 launch at work :D

Yep, I'm going down to the ball :P

How could I miss going down to meet Koopa, Crunchy, Mike and the rest? :lol: :lol:

I intend to drive down on the saturday morning, but still haven't sorted out staying anywhere. <_< You still needing a lift, mate? I can pick you up in Edinburgh if you want.

I may well need a help gettin down there, Rossi. I took Friday off as well, just as a precaution, but I would need to know what time you're leavin Edinburgh coz it takes a wee bit to get from where I am to the capital, maybe 2 hours by train, including transfer, but I've decided that as I missed CGE, I shouldn't really miss this, should I?

Are you guys driving down? What time are you leaving at?

Early Saturday morning. Mrs rossi, jr.rossi and me. And poss. turrican if he can get to edinburgh in time. ;)

helluva drive init?

Naah ;)

275 miles according to my gps. It's about 40/50 miles less than my daily average with my job :blink:
