the question is, did Amy actually put the red eye into the eyes afterwards?

I'm your mum's dad.

Fucking top weekend that was

In no particular order, "mad props" go to:

* Markie, without whom the whole thing wouldn't have happened to begin with!
* beerman for sharing the cost of hotel room and car trip with me
* peter_cushion for being a generally top bloke
* Twisted_Scrote for being as nice a chap in real life as he is on the intertubes (and for playing me at Gamegear Micro Machines! Not enough people did that

)
* oxo for giving everyone a right laugh with that radio controlled plane business
* amy and bog for being their usual selves

* piku for interjecting in a comedy manner wherever and whenever it was required
* Spoony and Spoongoddess for an entire festival of Yourmummery
* ladybird and dom for being generally ace
* Vintage_matt for contributing to the yourmummery, and for giving me a truly excellent nickname
* gribbles for setting up this forum
* exobuzz for taking one of those Amiga keyboards off my hands, and for bringing the Vectrex! VECTREX VECTREX VECTREX *rubs thighs frantically in a Vic Reeves stylee*
* the 3 randoms who came in on Saturday night. The following ensued:
randoms: There seem to be a lot of videogames in here
me: Yes, that's kind of what we do. This is an event, you see.
randoms: Why is there a man in face paint?
me: That's Markie, he paints himself up like Ming the Merciless.
randoms: That's awesome.
*idle chatter about videogames follows*
random: What was that old portable system where you had the game where you could do surfing? Was that the Game Gear?
me: No, that would be California Games on the Atari Lynx.
randoms: The Lynx! Yeah! That Sega one was cool too, what was that called?
me: The Game Gear. It was ace, and I've got one upstairs. Do you like racing games?
randoms: Shit yeah!
me: OK hold on *fetches Game Gear*
*me and randoms proceed to play each other at Micro Machines for an hour or so, and they're disturbingly good... better than any of the YakYak'ers, sorry lads and ladettes

*

annnnddd....

* everyone else for, well, being llamasofties

and I'm glad I managed to avoid Stalag Nanford this time

Despite the fact that me, beerman and peter_cushion got pwned by Stagecoach to the tune of Â£7.50 to get back to our hotel on the Saturday night... might as well have got a taxi eh?

My musings of a geek convention:

*meeting up with the regular Gears of War veterans scrote, worm and bog. Just as much fun as they are on-line - only taller.
*Scrote's pal 'drew' - seemed a bit overwhelmed by the whole thing at times 'What so I can just go and have a go on any of these games?' 'Yeah - that's what they're all here for.' 'Cool.' massive Sensible Soccer session ensues.
*Drinking cups of vodka and coke in beerman/leekfiend HQ until only Jesus knows when
*Chatting with Zzap64 at the bar. He is Bruce Campbell. He fucking is.
*Talking to Betamax in the beergarden 'So what you're saying is that you're more compact and better quality than others - but you've been sadly neglected for a cheaper alternative?'
*Guitar Hero II - 2 player. First ever go on this - been deliberately avoiding it as I knew it would just consume me. It has.
*Space Giraffe ''Moo! Moo!''
*Vectrex
*That games cabinet - 'How many games are on this thing?' 'About 10,000' *does not compute*
*Worm's Spectrum DS - bottom screen keyboard, top screen Jetpac!
*Wii sports - been deliberately avoiding this too as I knew it would just consume me. It has.
*Shouting 'Minter You Cunt' with a roomful of geeks
*Finding all the answers to all the big questions with Markie, Bog, worm, etc. only to lose them when distracted by the last orders bell at 1am
*Meeting Yak and Giles and chatting to them at length about what I know not. I do remember talking with some authority about farming at one point - a subject completely alien to me.
*Singstar + booze + misplaced confidence=a very real hell
*Just going up to people, check the name badge, 'So you're *random Yakker*! Ace.' *instant friend*

Oh yeah! I remember that... the Nanford bloke does have a picture of Basil Fawlty on his wall.

I might call him Basil next time to see what happens
