It may be me/my iPad being stupid but I can't work out how to amend the Google list thing. We will bring the following * Blast Off. A board game that Myoptika & his family cannot work out how to play. * Jenga * Playing cards * Some Rock Band/Guitar Hero games (Myoptika can tell you which) * A normal microphone & a USB microphone |

So, shall we do a big chili for Friday night and a BBQ on Saturday? The Asda nearby is very convenient (it really if 45 minutes away, and cheap) so we can pick up what we need from there unless you're quite particular about what you want. The quiz is coming along nicely, though there will be no TV round, just regular questions and some music.

I'm fine with that. Will the weather co-operate though? |

I was planning on bringing (apart from the obvious like toiletries, clothes, and food): Xbox 360 with every type of connecting cable I have Music game disks (RB2, Beatles Rock Band, GH:WT I guess) A USB stick with my profile and all my Rock Band DLC (memo to self: transfer all licences for offline play) Several guitars and my Yamaha (big) drum kit (my Rock Band drums are basically fucked) My poker set with two decks of cards (will mostly be for MafiaScum I think) Batteries & a charger USB hub If I can find it: a downloaded copy of Scott Pilgrim for movie night consideration It might not get used, particularly if the weather is good, but I'd rather have things in the car we don't need than need something I didn't bring. |

Big breakfast/brunch on the Saturday? I'm happy to don my apron for this. And for assisting with the chilli and for baking cakes (om nom), but I'll leave BBQ-ing to the boys

Don't forget your PS3, Doctor Glyndwr //edit: Also, I am horrifically fussy with food too so I echo Malc's sentiments. Also also, I'm absolutely shit at cooking so keep me away from the BBQ unless you all want food poisoning

Malc We'll be at the house by then (hopefully Curio & co will be there already to let us in). Our plan to get from Derby city centre to the house is to get a local bus service, the Arriva number 38, which drops us off about half a mile away, then either walk to the house or see if anyone already at the house is available to pick us up. |

I can search up a longer address if needed, but whack that into the satnav and you'll be fine. I'll go dig up the specific directions about which little trail you need to go up, as it gets a mite confusing once you get off the main road. |

When coming from Derby you turn right into a gated lane just before the flyover. If you go over the flyover, you have gone too far. |

Yes, 4-5 minutes... not 45 minutes. That would be significantly less convenient. The plan is now for the car containing the Apple Pies and me/wife to arrive at approx 1pm. So if anyone is planning on getting there before 1pm on the Friday, please pipe up now. |

Don't worry. It's an Asda in the midlands. Us walking in the door will raise the average level of classiness so much it'll instantly morph into a Waitrose. |
