Quoting: Deadmeat

oh and Chris can I borrow your blow up?

Sure.
Puncture repair kit on standby sir! :-)

Quoting: Deadmeat

let me know if you need my old XPS beore Friday please...since I will have to "borrow" it back from work.

Yes please.  Plus like Dean say's someone else can Play if I'm not there.


I'll probably be over straight from uni around 13:30-14:00 ish

[Kenny]

I'm confirmed as Sat and Sun (same as Andrew as he's driving ).

[FUBAR]

Quoting: ianjpage

i'm off Friday so will be round nice and early

Are we doing a costco run this time?  10 people to feed for 3 days is a fair bit of munchies.

just have to make sure we get some fruit as well as the snacky junk food & beer.

I certainly intend on going there on Fridays to get some muchies and year fruit is good!!

[Roadkill]

I've booked Friday morning off of work (I still have to work 12.30 - 5pm).

Ian - can we take the scrap down to the scrappy first thing ? - say 8am-ish ?

That way I'll still have time to sort bits out afterwards but before going to work . . . the theory is I'll get in from work and all will be sorted ( )

Also, Ian, we need to arrange carpet !

It's a buy it and pick it up there-and-then affair . . . let me know what evenings are best.

I really need to sweep and mop the floor first, though to avoid too many scratches - anyone got a sponge-type mop ?

[FUBAR]

Quoting: Roadkill

Also, Ian, we need to arrange carpet !

I was going to ask about that... My bit not needed this time?

On a separate note i'm still planning to bring my Geriatric desk, still ok to wedge between worktop & rollcab again as per last time?

OK cool - as discussed earlier no problems - early the better (as i had spoken to ryan about picking him about 9ish)

we still be alrgith to hang round yours during the arvo or ???

as discussed

Yup i'll hook it out again

Either that or wedge between roll cab and the behmoth of a case i now have lol!!

[Roadkill]

Quoting: FUBAR

still ok to wedge between worktop & rollcab

Hmm.  Not really.  The roll cab is in it's "final" position . . . It's an absolute b@stard to move about (mainly getting back into such a precise position, really).

Quoting: ianjpage

We'll work something out.

Quoting: FUBAR

Don't think so provided we get something sorted out.

Quoting: ianjpage

Yeah, sure, no problem - I'll give you the keys.

Quoting: ianjpage

early the better

I think they open at 8am from memory ?

[Roadkill]

Weather currently looks appauling for Fri / Sat / Sun so the BBQ idea is looking kinda a no-go.

Maybe do a DVD or two on Saturday evening, instead ??

While I think about it is  the Wii making an appearance ?

What connections does the Wii require ?

[Andy]

Our Wii connects via three RCA Jacks, Video, Audio R, Audio L.

I was going to bring mine + the drumkit etc.

Quoting: Roadkill

Composite AV (Yellow/red/white) or SCART.  NO HDMI

Oke-dokey, i'll have a look to see if I can re-inforce it in some way.

You can lean the left side up against the front of the 'cab so you'd just need to, effectively, prop the right side up.

[Incursus]

Will bring Jay & Silent Bob strikes back as Jo hasn't seen it.

Edit: does your fancy new player do region 1 DVD?

[Roadkill]

Quoting: Incursus

does your fancy new player do region 1 DVD?

Probably not.  It's a U.K model.

The expensive ones can't normally be hacked, either.

I'm not about Sat night.  But if I can borrow it I'll have a watch.

[Kenny]

I'll try to remember to bring my Wiimotes and stearing wheels (4 player mario kart ftw!)

I'll also bring my component lead (red/green/blue - red/white) as it gives the best pic.

Let me know if you don't need me to bring these (i.e. you already have 4 controllers and RGB connector )

[Kenny]

oh and, I will sort my snacks out too... more a savoury fan myself!  :)

[Incursus]

Quoting: Jo

You can but I think its region 1...

I'll bring it anyway.

Ryan has 4 wiimotes already (plus we'll have ours)

Not sure if Ryan has Mario kart - we have got 2 steering wheels that'll be there

Will also bring Wii fit & Wii fit plus
Also have our guitar there
