It's fun for groups as it puts you into pairs for challenges using the gamepad and Wii remotes but no screen.

Not a video game as such, more like a traditional party game.

Is this the thing that we played?

Looks like the stars are misaligning towards this particular weekend being my moving date. :'(

I can only assume you are moving to the cottage, right?

2 Weeks to go!

Yay!

I don't have all that much to move - if I can logistically make it then I will.

Malc · **Posted:** Fri Oct 03, 2014 12:39

It's not looking good for me

Currently Friday is unlikely, I may be able to come up on Saturday, but direct tickets from Ivybridge to Derby are usually loads more than going via London, so that might not happen either.

New plan!

The younger kids have sleep-overs, the eldest stay home alone!

Unacceptable. We moved it to Scotland and you still can't be bothered.

Boo! Scottish people!

This would never have happened if there'd been a yes vote!

In other news, I really need to start writing the quiz soon.

sdg · **Posted:** Sat Oct 04, 2014 11:50

You'll just have to come up and visit instead.

We actually almost managed to come this time but Jen moved department which changed all her holidays and meant the only time she had a week off was around the cottage weekend and I wanted to take her abroad for her 30th. If we'd voted yes, England would have been fine but sadly Tunisia will have to do!

Malc · **Posted:** Sun Oct 05, 2014 17:49

Train tickets get!

I should be there on Friday about 5ish!

Woo!

I owe about a million favours, but I'll be there!

I'm 95% coming, not even had a moving date yet. Just priming you for disappointment.

Even if it is my moving date I will turn up in some capacity.

Actual laugh into the room.

That's what we should do: Have a ring of laptops around the room, in the corners and spaces between the sofas and armchairs, and then have a face only shot via skype of everyone who is not attending. They'll have to have booze at home, and just get steadily drunk via skype, then quiz. Then we can shoot them with Nerf guns, then the people on skype can shoot at us with their Nerf guns and one of them will blind Russell.

Then someone can put up a screensaver of a Smirnoff Ice in front of him.

Looking like this won't be my moving date now.

Nerf guns! I forgot, I need to restock the arsenal after give my last load away to my bro-in-law.

If you get darts, can you pick me up 100 and I'll pay you back when we meet?

The skypers should be in their own quiz team, all facing each other in a little circle

I'm not convinced the wireless signal we get at the cottage will be "in".

Trooper · **Joined:** 4th Mar, 2010 **Posts:** 22270

I'm guessing it's not in a 4G area...

It's barely in an Edge area.

Just remembered Firefly is packed away in a box ready for moving.

GazChap · **Posted:** Mon Oct 06, 2014 17:19

You'd think they'd have a wifi setup there, assuming that the cottage is occupied most of the year it's not really a waste of money.

Grim... · **Posted:** Mon Oct 06, 2014 17:22

...

Except it doesn't have it, and the cottage is occupied for most of the year, so getting it would be a waste of money?

My training has been compressed to Mon to Thurs, so I'll be there at opening time now.

If it's funds then say so and we'll put together a daring heist of the First Derby Bank once we arrive.
