Coffee is ready!

Oooh, that's proper hipster. I look forward to it.

I'm quite looking forward to this! Like last year, I'm exempting myself from being iced until after the kid is in bed. However, she may well decide to ice you all - she's a joiner - so do watch out for that. She's also less likely to steal your beer (she's learnt to ask first) and is more likely to con cake and sweets out of you.

I haven't got time to make anything nice to bring, but I may chuck a cake tin in the boot and make something while we're there. If I do, it will most likely stem from a sense of guilt at having eaten all of the fudge.

I'll be bringing a couple of sharp knives as the ones there are crap. Things like hand towels and tea-towels are always needed if anyone has spares to bring.

Is there a DVD player at the Cottage? I can't remember if someone brought theirs or it if it was already in situ last year.

I think there is a DVD player, otherwise Curio usually brings his laptop. I'm not sure how we watched DVDs last year.

Fair warning to all; I have developed a stinking head cold over the course of the week (it's grim up north etc...). I shall likely be found wrapped in a blanket on a sofa with a box of tissues and medicinal wine.

That laptop has since bitten the dust.

There must have been a DVD player to watch the amazing movies what we did watch.

I'm pretty sure there was a DVD player.

With a TV that size, it would be absurd not to have a DVD player. I am certain there is one. If there isn't, I am certain he will give us his.

I think there was about 3, wasn't there.

There will certainly be a dvd player. 2 even.

SLEEP

I AM VERY EXCITES!

The quiz is finished, the wine is purchased... now I just need to find the Sunday Hangover DVD of Joy.

Is anyone bringing Zombies!!! or shall I bring mine?

I'm sure I'm supposed to be doing something this weekend.

I must attend next year if there is one...

Hope you all have a great time, take lots of pics!

Ohh and a video of Mr Russ being marched to the Nerf Firing Squad and the subsequent barrage

Are you not coming?

Not this year, I have George.

I will bring mine with expansion cards and military base

I'm bringing:

Cards Against Humanity (US, UK, expansion packs 1 & 2)
Last Night On Earth
Ticket To Ride Europe
Forbidden Island >> this is like a kinder, gentler Pandemic
Rummykub >> this is surprisingly ace, starts off like Gin Rummy but with tiles but then breaks your brain

Ah yes, forgot about CAH. Goodo!

I'll leave Zombies!!! at home as mine is just the basic pack I think, but I'll see if I can dig out Quoridor as I know some are keen on it

I'm bringing:
Invasion of Planet Earth
Greedy Wizards
King of Tokyo

Oh, and the little speakers that we use in the snooker room.

ONE

I'm bringing Munchkin and game of thrones boardgame

Bringing:

Pandemic (+5 topicality points)
Chrononauts (most excellent time-travelling card game)
Ticket to Ride US
The Resistance (like Mafia, but - no! but yes! - better)
Kill Doctor Lucky (game with the most complicated win condition yet devised)

I forgot that children were banned from the cottage.

Yes and I moved house etc....

I will budget for next year

ooh, I also have the GoT CCG. Bringing that too.

I'm moving house next weekend.

All I'm hearing are excuses.

Have you got packed the port?

No port for me this year.

Probably for the best.

Munchkin boardgame or Munchkin card game?

I meant to bring the board game last year and forgot.

A Munchkin.

Beer got!

Home! Just need to unpack, then repack.

Are brief daytime visits allowed?

There's a small chance I may be in that part of the world on Saturday and it would be nice to put more faces to names.

No. Absolutely not. They are prohibited.

Alternatively - yes?

Pretty much mandatory!

I knew I liked you.

I've just realised I forgot to grease the tins so we may be eating the first batch from the tins...

Is this a euphemism?

Card game, not sure which variant it is, might be pirates.

Will see what I can do then
