I dont think setting up equipment will be such an issue this time round :-)

Hmm..if we have the key for the door does that not mean we can lock it from the inside and drink our own beer? Then should the owners decide to look around we can swiftly hide it away somewhere. For instance in a big box marked JB's beer. This applies to unopened bottle's and cans only. :lol:

We've done several Lans over the past 2yrs or so and each one has had its own set of problems - which have eventually been sorted but have generally taken a couple of hrs.

The server we were going to use for this Lan was meant to be the same one from previous but its been grabbed for work use so we've had to scout round to 'borrow' another - a P3 933mhz which FatBob is going to partially re-build.

It is possible black-adder will put in an appearance.... dont bet on it tho. We've found it will only run old Linux kernels... weird eh?

Anyways, I've got about 1GB of HL games folder to download via me 512Kbit/s cable modem... so it may be ready in time.

Black Adder at the LAN would be nice, but not all games have a Linux server port :S

DogMeat · October 08, 2002, 11:18:14 AM

Well they're not worth playing then. Certainly not worth buying... :thumbsdown:

Stryker · October 08, 2002, 11:26:58 AM

BTW Me and doggers are setting out at 7:30am. Autoroute says its a 2:30 journey.... means we should do it in about 1:45 :-)

If were in time I'll be up for a brekki-feast.

I suggest that anyone who wants to be in on the initial round of breakfast egts there as early as possible. Go to the hotel first because we can leave mobile tel numbers to tell peeps where we have gone to eat etc.

Bring your phone

smite · October 10, 2002, 12:18:02 PM

I was planning on trying the breakfast in the hotel anyway ...after i have set my kit up.

Bob of the fat variety .....do they do breakfasts?

FatBob · October 10, 2002, 01:56:52 PM

smite of the thee variety yes they do and they cost 6 of your earth pounds you do get 1 if you have a room (but that will be sun am!!)
there is however a tescos and also a little restaurant called the riverside barn (although in the weird scheme of things its neither by a river or infact a barn!!) they do a wicked bfast for about 4 quid (2 of everything and a cup of tea to boot !!!)

OldBloke · October 10, 2002, 02:23:35 PM

Table for 20 at the Riverside Barn it is then

Gandalf · October 10, 2002, 02:23:38 PM

And what about a place to park our chariots? I trust the fine establishment we shall be staying at has ample space for them?

OldBloke · October 10, 2002, 02:25:41 PM

As it's in March you'll find there's a fine earthy looking fellow with a large gold earring who'll offer to park your car for you. :wink:

FatBob · October 10, 2002, 02:54:06 PM

youve bin ere before avnt ya boy!! he answers to the name of bubba and dont let the barefeet and soiled dungarees put you off 1 little bit.

Doorman · October 10, 2002, 02:54:20 PM

I'm green with envy of you people. Me? I'm off for a romantic w/e in the New forest

Where I'll be eating at the best restaurants, drinking fine wines and making love to a beautiful woman. But I'd rather being at the LAN. Have fun, don't stay up too late, don't drink too much, don't laugh, don't enjoy yourselves at all. If I can't why should you? :evil:
