Be Excellent To Each Other

Kov?

Craster

Playing the First Samurai because it's ace!

Thousands of pounds worth of VR equipment and Nintendo Switches about the place... And we play this. It's brilliant!

Quiz is bullshit

No. Team Cosy were worthy and deserved winners

Malia, you're not supposed to eat straight from the pan, you're not a student.

He didn't even cook it in the pan

I feel as well as you can expect someone who has their first hangover in almost a year.

I don't fancy the cyclist's chances.

I have returned Malia home and tucked him up in bed. Thanks for a superb weekend, excellent people!

Back home. Another excellent cottage. Thanks everyone!

Highlights etc to come once I've processed it all.

Thanks again yes chefs, Andy for the quiz, everyone who mucked in with cleaning etc - another great cottage weekend.

I am 8lbs up post-weekend so hopefully that will translate into MEGA GAINZ at the gym this week.

Brilliant cottaging again this year. Thanks to all the usual suspects, and it was great to finally meet Wookie! Mrs Jacket was ace too.

Chef cooking is independently certified as a premier fuel for MAD GAINZ.

The burrito/s was/were awesome! My mad gainz were probably from Rach's breakfast pastries

A great weekend. Really enjoyed seeing you lot again.

My bloody meeting has been cancelled.

Thanks everyone for another superb weekend. Props to Curio for yet another awesome quiz, the Yes Chefs! for lovely noms and to Grim... and Craster (and anyone else involved in it!) for BeEx Drink Co-op DLC - great fun.

I'll be ordering Beat Saber and probably Captain Sonar forthwith

Come back!

Citation: all three of us have had significant gains over the last decade.

Super cottage once again, love and rockets to you all! Despite temptations of VR and Switch the simple word game Codenames had me in its thrall. Thank you for three days of amiable paradise!

Oh, and...

Thanks to everyone who organised anything. Especially Curio, Craster, Grim... and Gaywood for their parts in booking the cottage, organising the quiz, food and beex drinks. Thanks also for anyone who helped with the tidying up and cleaning. But most of all thanks to everyone who came and made it an amazing weekend! Loads of fun, games, laughs, booze, games and talking. What more can you want? Really sad not to see a few regulars there, you guys were missed! Hopefully next year! However, it was nice to see a couple of new faces! Sad to be going home, and the PCBs (post cottage blues) are starting to kick in. Hope everyone gets/got home safely.

Roll on next year.

I am already here, looking pretty...

Echoing everyone else's comments. The Cotta9e was brilliant once again.

The highlight for me was Gaywood getting increasingly annoyed when telling us the story of Craster's storage lockup. Brilliant.

Blowout on the M1. Hurrah!

Shit!

All good, just waiting for the RAC

If you think that's bad, I left a box of Frosties at the cottage. Brand new it was too!

Yikes! Glad you're both ok. Check your other tyres when you get back.

Never underestimate extra weight.

Glad you're ok

Great cottage! I have the sads that it’s back to reality tomorrow.

Major props to those who did cleaning and tidying, which is an underestimated and under appreciated task.

Great work by the Yes Chefs on the burritos, which were seriously good, even if Bobby doesn’t know how to eat them.

Various highlights included:

Captain Sonar, with a great victory for TEAM BOTE.

The Flamme Rouge World Championship, which ended in an incredibly close mass finish.

The Town actually winning a Mafia game.

Beex Drink!

AJ! Featuring DOUBLE SINGHAM ACTION!

Joans and his spectacular Codenames skills.

The game of the cottage was Beat Saber. The runner up was Watching People Play Beat Saber. Honourable mentions to Telling People About Beat Saber Until Their Eyes Roll Back In Their Head and also to Getting Really Angry About Craster.

What about the goulash?

Well, that's not a nice thing to say about Sarah.

Good Cottage, all. Thanks to the usual suspects, and to all of you, who are consistently brilliant.

According to my records, the following people owe me for pizza & ChefMeal:

LitlChef & Dan
NervousPete
Kern
Curio

My records may be wrong. I’m fairly sure LitlChef paid me, for example.

Electronic payment details are in the members forum.

Dear so called beex,

Thanks for a great time and a lovely welcome from everybody. Turns out you're all lovely in real life too. It's interesting now knowing the voices behind the words. And in some cases the volumes behind the words.
Looking forward to next time.

We must be better at X-Wing next time. That shit was embarrassing.

I just told my Kindle to sync, and it said "The most advanced page is blah blah from Matt's Phone at 5.54am yesterday".

I was in the garden at the time, in the rain.

I think I was a bit drunk.

Ooh, I need curry and subway monies from people.

Shit, I didn't take a bumper sticker!

Neither did I!

I guess this just means that Wookie will have to come again next year and get us some more?

He'll have to make new ones for CottaXe.

Home! It’s not the cottage

Yes it was. Although Luke Skywalker did embarrass the empire at the end by just flying around their shots and never getting hit.

Home, finally.

Thanks all for a stupendous-as-ever weekend, you're a right fantastic bunch. Thanks as ever to Curio for getting this shit organised and for handing my my rightful quiz championship once again (I answered like six questions, basically DavPaz did everything)

We were a fine team. You brought many things to it. Gravity, for example

And the hat.

No wait.... He didn't bring the hat did he?

So my list says

PAID WITH CASH
<Kern’s real name>

NOT PAID
Kern

I am the best at lists, especially after Old Fashioneds.

Doxed!
