Oh I guess I can walk then :)
Thanks Hellfire.
Oh yeah, go on ignoring me... I already found out that I just buy an Oyster card and take one of the DLRs. I see the majority of us is arriving on Thursday already - can we have a timetable of who arrives when? Or asked in another way: where should we meet when? I consider waiting at the hostel for others as wasted as long as I don't know for how long I wait.
Everything else is set for me:Did I miss anything?
- I know how to get away from LCY,
- know how to get to LHR (blue Piccadilly line, which seems to go only every hour on Sunday evening...?)
- got 2 power adapters,
- 20 racing time sheets are printed (after 4 years I finally fixed Iridia),
- got two credit cards and
- have my own visitor's guide.
@Temet: since you seem to go by train - can I get some toothpaste and shower gel from you over there? I also thought about going by train, but that would be a ride of 6,5h at least for me. ;)
@Mad: I hope we do - traditionally most contenders were up all night and then sleeping most of the day. Good thing we're all getting older! :lol
@dream & Hell: I found no news to that, so I guess it'll be either a surprise or a spontaneous decision.
The post you are referring to is over a month old and two pages back. There's a difference between ignoring and not noticing. My post was a generic non-targeted guide for anyone coming into the airports that 9/10 flights coming into London will be landing in and for people to let me know if they needed help getting in from anywhere else. All you had to do if you needed help was refer me back to that post and I would have updated it, especially considering your original post did not request travel help. But it seems you already know your way. I have updated it anyway in the very unlikely event that anyone else is coming in to City Airport (it's very small and mainly used for business flights). Anyway, the Piccadilly line to Heathrow on Sunday runs every 10 minutes, so you shouldn't have any problems on that front.
As for Loading, I will send them a message this week just to see if there'll be comfortable room for you all. If you get there early or go during working hours then I'm sure there will be. We don't have to book or anything, it's just letting them know that there could be a fairly large party descending on them. I should warn you though that if you do go, their cocktails are bloody lethal as me and Ami found out at the Gaming Den!
On an unrelated note, as Thursday will be the social day, how would the idea of a bit of ten-pin bowling grab you all? There's a fairly new alley in Stratford by the Olympic Park and I'd be able to meet you on my way from work if you wanted :)
And finally, if anyone wants my mobile number while you're over here, send me a PM.
Dreamer and AJ : you cannot enter the room without me. The room is linked to my visa card.
I should arrive pretty early, around 15h30 I guess.
I wish you all a great convention!
Good news on my end prevented me from coming this time, but there's always next year, right? :D
I hope so.
I will miss you mate!
@Guillaume: too bad that you can't come this year... It's almost impossible that Wipeout community will disappear in the next year or even decade, so see you next time :)
@Temet: OK, understood :)
I'm coming with the WizzAirs Icaras and arriving tomorrow on 7:30am (yeah sick time!) at Luton airport, so I think it will take me around 2,5h to get to the London city center. I guess I don't need help with transportation but if there is something I should know Hellfire please tell me :). So I should be at the hostel around 10am but since nobody will be there I guess I will do some sightseeing until 15:00 - Joining me at this time is strongly recommended :D
See you guys tomorrow!
Luton is pretty easy. There's a short rail trip from the airport to Luton Airport Parkway. Take the First Capital Connect to St Pancras, and then do the same as Temet :)
I've also got the go ahead from Loading, they're more than happy to have us all! They'll also have several other consoles there if you fancy giving something else a go for a bit too. I may even bring along some of the older games on Saturday if you'd like :)
The address of the bar is 53 Rupert Street, Soho, London W1D 7PH. The actual venue name itself is MADD, but Loading have pretty much taken it over now.
Hi everyone :)
I will spare your time and not going into vast explanation, I only went through an epic month that almost led me to cancel EWC7.
When I realised I could make it, I failed at finding a dorm for 3 nights at SRS, I never gave up and eventually on saturday I got them :)
Guaranteed now that I am coming!
Nonetheless I am dealing with SRS manager to be in the same room with you friends but it's not already won.
Usually I should have come with you David, but when I checked the price it was purely insane so I ended up with ferries which is not a bad idea at all : Brittany ferries are at 15 min from my home and 3H 45 later I am at Portsmouth, I need to find a train ticket to St Pancras though.
Only thing I know is my arrival time at Portsmouth 3.15 pm UK time tomorrow.
Funny thing : my departure time on sunday is 7...am
Need to find the best solution to get there on time :g
I am looking forward to meet ya all that's gonna be a blast! :rock
Thx Charlie for your direction help. It would be cool to see you again after those 5 years, is it?
Amiqo (the q is in purpose, Amigo, will tell you more about this kind of subliminal advertising ;) ) I can also provide you my famous shower gel it's organic (please don't misread this with any words starting with orga and ended up by ic) :twisted
Btw I am bringing my vita and a psp.
Copies of Pure and Pulse
A power socket so we can plug our 220 V devices
A plug adapter
A bluetooth speaker
No laptop or tablet.
I am also looking for a uk simcard with prepaid content, any idea of the cheapest and where to buy it (St pancras perhaps?)
