@shoe

And the date is still July 23rd? I REALLY REALLY REALLY want to go to Bornholm one week before that and go home two weeks later, you realize of course that AmiGBG is the ONLY factor in favour of passing by Gothenburg on that day rather than two weeks later and that I'm STILL going to be there? Tired as heck and very likely rather smelly, but god dangit I'll be there.

This had better be good, you know

I am planning to be at both BB3 and AmiGBG, although I am in the process of changing jobs at the moment which has the potential for carboshing all my plans. I intend to book my flight to Gothenburg at the end of this month if all goes to plan. (As the Amigbg date has not yet been officially announced, it is not my place to say the date, but I intend to be at BOTH, which should give a clue as to if the dates clash or not )

Not on that date, but it might of been a good idea to ask the other organisers before posting a poll

I would love to go there but if its close to the Gothenborg show I guess I will find it hard to get the time (and money..). Going from Denmark to BB3 would be a little more expensive than driving to AmiGBG... but I might show up anyway :)

@The_Editor

BB3 sounds good, I managed to have things on at the same time for the last 2 (mum getting remarried last time didnt help !), but I'll try to convince the wife its a good idea. what sort of tactics could I use to either
a) come on me tod
b) drag the missus and two girls (a 4 year old and a 6 year old)

AR.SE ! thats the weekend of a) my anniversary (10 years) b) the youngests birthday !
Feck !
but I might be able to wangle those for the w/e before.... hmmm...

/edit:

I remember communication problems at the Micromart-NEC show with people not introducing themselves - I reckon get Avatars and nicks on a badge / tee shirt. I'll wear a Forest one ! (I also have a beard y'could lose a badger in).

@ thread..

Well if the turnout is less than last time I guess we'll have to evict Nobby the Tramp (google it.. he's world famous) from his bus shelter and use that.



Quote:


The King of Peterborough AKA Nobby the Tramp

Whilst sourbugger was born here (the city not the bus shelter) in the dim and distant past of 1968, this page is not about me.

The most famous celebrity in Peterborough is without a doubt Nobby the Tramp. He has his own website (ghost written) and has hit headlines all over the world - just try putting Nobby the tramp into google.

My 4-year old Nephew, without prompting started referring to him as the "King" after passing by the shelter several times. Its a refreshing way to look at our class-ridden society, so I will adopt his usage.

The King of Peterborough most recently hit the headlines over supposedly agreeing to play playing in a professional golf tournament. Most of the reporting went something like this :

"A PETERBOROUGH tramp has fooled a newspaper into running a story saying he was playing in a professional golf tournament. The Peterborough Herald & Post's executives had reportedly also agreed to help fund his trip to the North West of Ireland Open at Ballyliffin. Nobby was given a set of clubs earlier in the year and regularly practises his swing behind the bus shelter he calls home. Herald & Post editor of content, Steve Rose, said: "It was an agreement between Nobby and ourselves. We spoke to him in good faith." But Nobby, whose real name is Michael Ross, told The Evening Telegraph he had never expected his wisecrack to make it into print."

This real story, which some believe to be true is that the guy was genuine, but with tickets and everything paid for the paper forgot to send a car for him and so he never went. There are rumours that something maybe organised for him next year.

Background to the life of the King

Taken from hs website which can be found at
www.fisheries.freeserve.co.uk

In one of the more exclusive residential areas of Peterborough lives one of the city's most public figures, Nobby the tramp.

No one seems to know his name (Sourbugger : complete rubbish this bit its Mr Ross) or where he came from, some say he is a fugitive, some say he is on the mafia's hit list, the most popular theory is that his wife died in a fire nearby some years ago and he just wants to be nearby.

(Sourbugger, I believe the reason is that he can no longer face living in a closed environment - after all the local parish council offered him a flat for free, and he refused them)

He first started dossing in his bus shelter home sometime in the early 90's and soon won the affection of local residents who make sure he has warm clothing in the winter and often drop off gifts of food and tobbaco, Christmas day at Nobby's house has to be seen to be believed. The fact that he does not drink and keeps himself to himself is perhaps one of the reasons he is still there, indeed attempts to evict him were met with stiff opposition from locals and now the council has decided to let him stay there and they intend to build another bus shelter.

(Sourbugger : this is no lie, you would not believe the amount of presents he recieves from people at Christmas time, all wrapped up in Christmas paper and left unopened)

I just hope Nobby's home won't be too large... But if we are bored, there is always the Golf Course nearby...

Well, unforseen circumstances notwithstanding, and if you'll 'ave me, I'll be there with AROS jumping through some new hoops, and I could drag along one of the classics miggys and a projector along for a laugh ...

And I could bring along the XBoxes for some quick n' easy network gaming, too
