Bernie, I've not booked anything yet, but I have priced it for going down Saturday coming Monday & it's £65 (£70 if you want to come back late Sunday night

Mark I should be able to get Monday off, just need to check that the boss has nothing planned for me. I have never been to any of the big arcades in London. I realise I have missed their peak by a number of years but I am always up for a pint.

The few big arcades with decent equipmnt are a bit shiz. The one with best games is Casino, but the equipment/sticks are shocking.

I think the Trocadero fighter section is the best we have though - lots of versus cities and some nice HD cabs too.

Although at least the "real games" work in Casino. The Ponys in the Troc are practically unplayable now.

I'd love to have one of those ponies. It would make an awesome vert cab for me. They do need a serious amount of TLC though.

Strip/sand old paint, fix dents, respray, new CP overlay, done. Even the shagged bezels shouldn't be too much trouble to replace.

I should be able to make this if you don't mind me tagging along. It sounds like it will be a good day

D-Zine at IC:09

"Where the Max look a like from EastEnders" meaning Grant"

Might be worth a visit

Train is much more civilized. I would be in kings x for 14.35 give or take

I am due down to Northampton on 12th December if I remember rightly, so if you can stand my inane conversation between Glasgow Central & B'ham New Street then I'll join you in your civilized train journey. Can I assume that we need smoking jackets and loafers?

I'd come, but I reckon you'll only laugh at my mullet and big fat bum and bully me

I reckon I could handle 2 glasses of lemonade and a white wine.

I'm tee total myself though, so I'd be on the mineral water.

Got my train tickets booked

What's the evening plan? I am going to be down in Northampton and would be leaving around 6 or 7pm, but I am staying overnight in Northampton and need to get back, so will only be able to really spend 3 or 4 hours in London.

I think its a bit hard to say. Once we'd been round the arcades last time we hit up the pubs around Goodge St. then ended up in Chinatown at a Dutch pub. Once you start going round the pubs its a bit hard to pinpoint where you're going to end up

especially with so many people. It shouldn't be too hard for you to catch up with us though, just send a text or call someone when you get into Central London.

Can anyone recommend any decent priced hotels around central London, I have never stayed there before?
