Post by: FatBob on January 13, 2003, 09:22:47 PM
Lo dudes
ok here is the lowdown


Lan details
1) its the town of march in cambridgshire
2) its 10/11 of may 2003
3) 1 single room (drumroll please) £25.00 squirell's already got it due to dubious tip off (lol)
4) 11 double's @ £39.00
5) there is 1 family room, 4 beds(1 double 2 singles) may suit the northeners smite jas jb and madness £75.00
6) 1 bridal suite with four poster (double) @ £39.00(oh-er wouldn't like to be the 1 booking that !!!)
7) 7 twin rooms @ £39.00
8) this includes the fatty fatty toad boy breakfast on sunday morning

i suggest you find partners to share with otherwise we will run out of rooms, so talk to people first b4 you book, alternative accomodation can and will be found should the hotel be full (although it may be a 50 mile drive !!! ok 2 mins walk but i can't tell you no prices ur on ur own there ok goddammit i will check if needed pm me if you have a prob)

we will have full use of the room with key provided (i had to sleep with her again to get that ) so no curfew (woo-hoo)

 the room is in pictures below and will be no smoking due to popular demand. the cost for the 2 days is £350.00 which equates to
£10.93 each for the whole LAN based on 32 sharing (its getting like a holiday brochure now and i had to sleep with her again for the price mwu-haha)

WHEN PHONING PLEASE QUOTE "dMw LAN" OR YOU WILL NOT GET A DISCOUNT

so get dialling cos the rooms will go quickly - so make the most!!

those who came to the last 1 know what's in store the rest of ya....you will like it...it is warm !!

1 more thang, the meal for saturday night will take the form of a vote (see above) just to get numbers. once the numbers are in i will make the appropriate bookings (unlike last time "hello is that the chinese, can you do a table for 18 tonite....yes thats right tonite!! Pheew it was a close 1)
think first cos i dont know who wants what  and we are not going to get a table for 32 at a days notice. but if we have to split into 2 teams of 16ish we can rush the poppadoms, left left at the onion baji's then a left right at the sweet an sour donkey scrote's (no offence DCG).

this FatBob broadcast was brought to you courtesy of Budweiser 5%abv draught and dirty claire from the Griffon :twisted:

Hi FatBob,

I must have looked at this announcement before you added your poll (see message to TL below).

So if you don't mind, make it 1 for an Indian please. I can't see me getting one after looking at the current state of the poll but I like both anyway. All these English girlies, c'mon fellas, vindaloos all round  :smokin:  :sunny:  :beer:



albert wrote:
TeaLeaf, I wasn't given the option to vote in the poll when I went onto the LAN announcement. Do me a little favour if you would and put me down for an Indian  please.

I added the poll for FatBob (he forgot) so it may be that you saw it before the poll went up. Try again first, if not then post the above message in the thread as FB is handling the catering  

If you give me abotu 20 minutes or so they'll be some pictures of the venue loaded up as well - I am just doing that bit for FB now.

Regards

I'm chinese. Unfortunatly I cannot eat indian as it looks like shite, and tastes like shite. And the whole purpose of curry is to disguise the taste of rotting meat!  :thumbsdown:

Anyway. If there is a big enough split, why not 2 groups? 1 for chinese, one for bowel movements, I mean indian :)

When me and my mates were kids 12 - 14 we used to go fishing in the Union Canal (Edinburgh) and bag some dodgy muck ridden pike which we would sell to the local chinese takeaways. I ask you one question, have you ever seen a sweet and sower pike in the menu? I think not. More like Sweet and Sewer if you ask me. God bless Injuns.

When I was young in Edinburgh I used to buy dodgy, smelly fish of an indistinguishable nature from many of the chinese restuarants. I would then sell them on to the local curry houses.

As I suspect that there will be a fair bit of table moving and setting up of game servers, file servers and switch cabling to be done in the morning, I am considering staying overnight on the Friday so that I can (a) get an early and full breakfast, and (B) be there to help set up first thing.

Is anyone else thinking of being there overnight on Friday?  It's just that I get lonely....  :D

Leafy - setting up of game servers i assume your also including loading of software if so then really these things should be done before the Sat incase of last minute hitches

I can get over there from about 07:30 on the Sat if needed.

Awwww I'd love to come but we're expecting twins in late April so I don't know how feasible it'd be.

I hope y'all have fun - I'm sure you will :P

Benny's correct about the room booking . As for the payment of the venue itself that will be taken on the day - collected by a nominated individual(FatBob) and cost will obviously depend on who turns up

That seems to list most of the available places in March. I would suggest the Oliver Cromwell hotel as its is on the high st and therefore can't be too far away.

My recollection of numbers who originally signed up was approx 30. My gut feel from comments after asking if they could come maybe upto 10.

My recollection of the venue size should accomodate 40ppls maybe more [FB would you agree]

My concern is - will we have H/Ware for 40 and will it be there for first thing Sat morning i.e 08:00 ish to give us time to set the servers up and iron out the usual bugs.
The H/ware that is critical - Servers(doh), Switches & crossover cables.

Servers - TL said he was bringing 2 and would be there the night before - is this still the case TL ??
Oldie did also say he could supply server - is this still true & what time would you anticipate turning up ?

Switches - GFK was bringing a 24(i think) & someone else was bringing another(who ?) is this still the case & what time do you anticipate turning up?
Lionheart also said he might be able to bring a 24 switch if its not commandeered for work purposes

Cables - will need some nice long ones - i think we supplied last time but not sure if we can this time - i'll speak with LionHeart otherwise can anyone else help out if need be - or is it best to assume evryone brings their own?

Extension cables & multiplug boards - always usefull - i have one of each but a few more might come in handy

I can defo bring a 24 port switch, possibly 2. (If I can wangle it, I'll try and get a 4k Cat, but no promises.

Cables aren't a prob, I can bring a fair few. Hadn't really thought about timings, but I will now...yep, thought about it, and I'm about 2 hours away, I'll try to be there around 9.ish, if someone promises me breakfast and a group hug.

If benny can bring along a Cat 4000 with a 48 port 10/100 blade inside it we'll be sorted!  :D

We can have that baby up and configured in no time and then it would just be a case of getting everything cabled up, which I would expect to be a nightmare.

I assume the room looks like a bomb has hit it within an hour?

I would offer switches but they wouldn't do the job like Benny's offering. If there is something lying around at my work closer to the time I could possibly nick it for the weekend.

I should be able to bring along some cables of varying lengths, x-over and stright though.

Muchos power strips will also be needed.

Is there an internet connection we will be able to use? If not then we can forget about bringing a router.
