Board game weekend & visit to the National Videogame Arcade

myp · **Posted:** Mon Oct 16, 2017 20:55

We should be moving into a bigger place soon, so what better way to celebrate than to invite nerds to stay at our new house, play board games and go on a day trip to the National Videogames Arcade in Hockley, the best part of Nottingham city centre. It is open from 10am-6:30pm and gives you freeplay access to three floors of gaming goodness for £9.50.

I'm thinking end of Feb or sometime during March, basically before softball season starts again. Who's up for this? There would be plenty of room for people to stay, they'd just have to bring airbeds and sleeping bags as we'd probably only have one sofabed and no guarantee of a guest bed by that point.

If it's a success there's the potential to make it an annual event to fill the gap between the cottage and the BBQ.

_{Please can I come?}

If I could stay in a nearby hotel (floor sleeping does not appeal)

Zardoz · **Posted:** Tue Oct 17, 2017 14:17

You can sleep on me Dave.

TheVision · **Posted:** Tue Oct 17, 2017 14:24

Thinking about this, Nottingham is only an hour or so away so I won't stop over so that'll free up some space.

Zardoz · **Posted:** Tue Oct 17, 2017 14:24

More room for us Dave.

I'll be very still.

More like two hours I think. I suspect there will be plenty of room for all.

Dave, no one has bagsied the sofabed yet so you can have that? You may need to share with Zardozsomeone else though.

We'll split the difference, Google says that the museum is 1 hour and 29 minutes away which will be fine so yeah, depending on the date.. I'm in.

So you'd meet us at the museum? Righty ho. I'm thinking of making my place open house from Friday morning till Sunday late.

Zardoz · **Posted:** Tue Oct 17, 2017 14:59

We'll take the sofa bed.

I'll definitely get a hotel, but that's more because I'm an anti-social freak than anything else.

My recent holiday sharing a remote villa with about 20 other people has taught me a valuable lesson in that regard.

GazChap · **Posted:** Tue Oct 17, 2017 15:11

Zeppo's in.

devilman · **Posted:** Tue Oct 17, 2017 15:25

Tentatively (everything is with me) in. I'll probably get the train back or do the hotel thing. Only been to Nottingham once before and that was a bit of a disaster culminating in me missing the last train home, so it has to work out better than that at least

myp · **Posted:** Tue Oct 17, 2017 16:01

It would be great to finally meet you, DM! Maybe you could unblock me on Twitter too.

Joans · **Joined:** 31st Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 8655

He may as well leave you blocked until he's met you. It'll save time in the long run.

My block list only has five accounts on it and unless you're peddling porn, The Sun, or casinos, I don't think you're blocked. Unless you're referring to my old account? I use underlogic these days.

Weird, I'm pretty sure it was because someone was replying to you and I couldn't see the reply. And this was recent. What was your old account?

I'm not actually sure. I think it was ukdevil, but someone else has that now so maybe they switched their name to it. A little while back, someone had managed to access my old account (which I hadn't used in years) so I reset the password and deleted the account altogether.

myp · **Posted:** Tue Oct 17, 2017 16:59

Maybe it was just Twitter being weird

How does 16-18 March sound?

It's also cancellable up until the day. I'm not daft.

Did Sally buy that house because its seemingly the only one anywhere near that area that isn't visible on Google Street View?

Um, you remember that you're in Glasgow watching At The Drive In with me on the 15th of March right?

House 53 is completely blurred out as well, so I assume they've got something to hide.

For someone who's so concerned with personal data security, posting a google maps link to your home address seems like a bold move
