    Maybe it means *actually* interactive, like being able to shout "LOOK OUT THERE'S A DALEK BEHIND YOU" when watching Doctor Who and have him turn round to look, or annoying the contestants on University Challenge by shouting out the answers.

    That would be worth 122 quid.

    yer im going

    been proper busy at work due to the end of financial year. and there hasn't been many threads to post on these days.

    this is my plan

    go down on friday afternoon, check in to hotel, disable smoke detector, find safe area to stash drugs, go out and buy vodka and tracker bar, meet in a pub either with some people from retro world, drink and try and persuade them to go to a club. - saturday- turn up to event about 2pm nursing a terrible hangover, talk to a few people, be sick in the toilets, eat a tracker bar, start making vodka and orange under a table, get drunk, be sick, power through with more drink, call psj a puff for suggesting we go for food, sing like a bad motherfucker on guitar hero, find a club with a lax door policy on checking girls id, sniff my way through the last of my methadrone as its becoming a class b soon, grope my way through the dance floor, spike psj's drink, dance until 4am with him, go back to hotel, stay awak for 5 hours shaking, masturbate, and depending on whether or not i have shat the bed check out.

    sunday, call and beg my gf to come and pick me up.

    Only juste spotted this, it appears that mile is a literary dark horse. Hes just single handedly written the sequel to train spotting , get mr mcgregor on the phone. :)

    After seeing Miles perform most of that at the Huddersfield show i can say that the legend is all true !!

    He does make guitar hero type games far far better though, boring when you get someone on the mic who sings properly, should have seen Miles at the last show, very very entertaining.

    Still think he should eat a fair bit though considering the vodka he consumes !

    Since I've had a change of travel plans I'm going to be arriving in Sheffield on Friday night instead of Saturday morning, and coming up from the midlands... Premier Inn, St Mary's Gate (0.5m from the uni, so says their website).

    I'm taking one each of Book 1-Book 5 of the Speccy series, and i've got 5 copies of Book 6 but i've got a couple of people who want to buy one so theyre 'semi-reserved'.

    Binman i expect you'll want to buy one ! ;)

    how much for all six volumes?
  • edited April 2010
    Sounds good !

    Cant do a 'deal' i'm afraid, make about 2 quid-ish on each book so i need that money to pay for all the reviews.

    Prices are here...

    http://www.spectrumgamesbible.co.uk/shop.htm

    Would love to do some 'buy 3 get one half price' type stuff but due to the small margins i cant. Have a look at them when i bring them on saturday mr moneybags ;)

    wasn't looking for a discount, just couldn't be arsed to look up the prices!!!
    :-P

    sorry lads, but im not going


    on the firday as planned, the hotel prices are ridiculous. and i know id drink myself silly and be sick all day/night saturday. also i'd have to take my stuff to work on friday and fogot to ask for anytime off work, so id be arrving late, then id have to pay for tea etc.

    so i'll come up sat morning, its only an hour on the train, early doors to avoid the rush. book in join the party.

    oh i haven't bought a ticket for the show, i presume i can pay on the door?

    its not like its an exclusive 'eyes wide shut' sex party where i have to know a password.

    I would PM SScott over on www.retrogamer.net/forum about a ticket as theyre being very strict.

    Just ask him to reserve you one as its too late to post but i would for sure PM him about reserving a ticket

    Any chance I can have a look through one of them psj?

    I'm interested, but I'd have to arrange purchase afterwards as STeaMette and me are leaving on the SuperTram and I can't be arsed lugging 6 big books around with me when I'm pissed!!

    Am I also right in thinking that BiNMaN has a rather funky Autobot tat*?

    (* I have had some beers, so I might be confusing this...)
