Probably after as i'll need to save cash for the event.
 
So . . . . What film, where we watching and how much will it cost?

[terran_emperor]

okay 5th Dec it is.

I dont mind the film.

[McCall]

Righto. 5th is okay for me too.

Hello FireSpawn/Dekker Jr!

As far as movies go, it's slim pickings for that date. I guess it all depends on how long the cinema runs go - we'll have to find out nearer the time.

If we've got a couple U18-ers coming along we'll definitely have to work around the asshole bouncer thing.

Dang, city rules suck.

So people who are underage can't even get into a pub?  Huh.  A few of the bars down at school, and at least one I know of around here, would generally check IDs at the door on Friday/Saturday nights and give out wristbands to those who were over 21 (obviously, I don't think they bothered if you looked 40 or older).  Those who were underage could still get in just fine and order food, but they couldn't buy drinks.

[Colonol Dekker]

My little bor is 17 but he's tall as f**k and already a bit stubbly.
He'll be ok as long as he keeps his choir boy mouth shut.......

[FireSpawn]

First of all why does everyone call me Dekker Jr?  Second of all Dekker, my voice has women frothing at the gash.
Finally i don't really mind what goes on or what we do. Its all good.

[McCall]

Hey FireSpawn. The Dekker Jr thing was inevitable. We'll get over it soon enough. "Frothing at the gash" had me laughing into my milkshake.

Mongoose: It depends on where you are really, although things have taken on an increasingly authoritarian slant over the last few years. Back when I was a teenie out the wilds of Derbyshire, no-one batted an eyelid at us going in and having a few pints, just so long as we behaved respectfully. It was still illegal of course, but common sense seemed to prevail. Townie pubs tended to be a bit more up themselves, but the kind now that are pretentious enough to have an overweight Secret Service wannabe (complete with earpiece) on the door are the worst. Sadly that kind of attitude has noticably spread over the last ten or fifteen years.

****, you even get crap like "Challenge 25" now, meaning if you happen to look younger than SEVEN years past the legal buying age you can get turned away. Makes me glad I'm going grey!

[terran_emperor]

Okay Firespawn. If you wanted to avoid the Dekker Jr moniker, you should not have mentioned that you were Dekker's little brother...

Just had a thought...Does Stuart know about the date change?

[stuart133]

I do now, and it's a good thing too, my manager at work has sprung yet another Saturday on me from nowhere. Sorry about not replying earlier, have been in deep, dark Cumbria with no internet.

The thing is I am pretty sure I won't get into many London clubs, I don't look 21 sooo ....

[McCall]

Food or cinema or both it is then. Suits me fine.

BTW, any of you guys interested in X2: The Threat and X3: Reunion? I've had them floating around for ages since impulse buying from CEX, and despite my best efforts I've just not been able to take to them at all. Sort of a cross between space sim and RPG. If you want a freebie let me know and I'll bring them along next time.

[Colonol Dekker]

I bought them all, and can't get into them either. I know there are some mods / savegames out there which give you a hell of a load of crap. But i'm yet to try em. I might run some bits and bobs off for ya now you mention it.

[stuart133]

I got pretty frustrated playing those games, but the cheat scripts allowed me to bypass the boring starting bit. After that, with a huge facility and a giant fleet, it became better, but still not great.

[terran_emperor]

Looked em up. I'm not a fan of games like that. Sorry

[Colonol Dekker]

X3 has a Babylon 5 mod for it. . . . Just so's you know.

[terran_emperor]

Oh, well...Actually im not sure i have enough room on my C Drive for it...

Wonder if the mod was based on that cancelled B5 game...

[stuart133]

Soo, shall we get this thing organised fully now?

[Colonol Dekker]

Go on then,

Sort out a checklist of goals /aims/ things to achieve

Ie

-film
-beer? (depends)
-food
-Profit


Run with it Stuart

[stuart133]

Right.

Film: 2012 seems good for a nice brainless action film. Running at cinemas in central London. (That is probably easiest for everyone to get there)
Beer: Yes please. No but srsly I can only order beer with food, so not sure about that
Food: Well what kind of food would everyone like??

[Colonol Dekker]

Anything from burger king to a sit down meal will do. But this will dictate budget.  Heck i'd be happy with a Wetherspoons 5 quid beer and burger deal.

[stuart133]

Is that a case of "MORE BEER"?
