With the change of date of the berlin tournament I am in a better position to make the tournament. Thinking of driving over there so does anyone want in? by anyone im talking about people I can cope with in the car.

Cost breakdown;

£7 return for the ferry
£30 petrol

& then whatever you think you need for tournament costs, food and drink.

Tournament is the 2nd-4th. Im still teaching till 3.30 on the friday (may attempt to get it of). So maybe a late night crossing but we will see. There are actually some really good times available for cheap so may try get the day of. Will be coming back either late night sunday or monday. I don't really have a need to rush back depends on other peoples committments and housing issues. As i say ferry prices are looking nice.

Joe has said he is up for this. Looking at robby, craig and mike next to re-untite the beautiful team. After that there'll be two spots available. Jam/Yen/Tamoo?

Using viamichelin.com and how many miles I get to a tank it'll cost £150 return between Calais and Berlin. Divide that by seven and you are left with £21 each. The extra £9 each is for petrol costs within the UK. Even if the trip cost more than the calculations I made it probably wont be more than £35 each return for petrol. £42 altogether with ferry return AT MOST.

Calais to Berlin is only eight hours :) so petrol really isn't that bad.

In terms of friday I didnt know that is when the tournament started. Will look into details and just tweak plans. Just needs to be worked around.

Charles : Not sure I could be in the car for that long with you lol =p

Joe : confirmed :)

Oh wow you have a seven person car? Guess that brings the price down a bit. Spoke to dacacia this evening, if you cant find people you know and trust to fill the car, we may be interested in coming.

Joe knows me - whether he trusts me or would want to spend several days with me in a car though... lol

Also, I can drive :bee: Obviously I haven't been driving as long, and my insurance on the car would probly be expensive, but I'm just throwing that out there if you're looking for alt drivers.

wow, don't even have to post in a thread to get insulted anymore :/
joe - Sorry dude but you know, it's very obvious we're two totally different people, I wasn't intentionally not talking to you or anything, we just had nothing in common to even get going or anything :/
Charles - What does that even mean lol?
Kone - Cheers for considering me but I get horribly travel sick, esecially in cars, I don't think you'd want me in your car for 8 hours lmao!

tamoo: it was more of a courtesy thing for me i guess, i believe its a persons perception of common knowledge that decides whether they have any or not. we both play smash for example xD. Though lemme make it clear that i dont hold it against you in any way, as you didnt talk to me, i also didnt talk to you much so were cool in my eyes =P. Although you still have to make it up to me for accusing me of being gay ROFL!

Robby - Get beast to post on here and let me know etc then ill put him on the list. Want him to tell me lol so i know he is in ;)

Tamoo - No problem.

Alan - Just can't risk losing money. Joe said he is seeing you wed i think. He says that he knows you well enough that he will be able to tell in person if you are reliable. Soooo ill let joe decide then trust his judgement. Sorry dude just haven't met you enough to be convinced myself ;)

I live with him? So it's kind of stupid for me to have to get him to post when I can just tell you!

I spoke to Mikey on the phone and he's confirmed.

me, you, mike, george, robby AND beast are the only ones i currently trust/am happy with joe. After that its jam. If jam can't then we still have a spot frEe which will go to allan first then dacacia or pickled.

The tournament is a while away and we are driving so having a list is good. I expect some people may drop out etc.

May ask for £7 each via paypal or w/e for people to confirm a place to book ferry. Maybe.

Are you sure? you have alans and allans. Im pretty sure that I had seen his name with two. Anyway, not sure why that would make a difference if he came with us. I wouldn't be spelling his name out when im wanting his attention o_O

edit checked msn got confused with scottish allan. Alan does in fact have one 'l'.

Guess I'd better post then :lick: - Count me in. F*** knows if I'll have any money by then, but I'll work something out for sure even if it means borrowing.
I'll stay at Robby's before this for a while to get my game back, I'm worried that 6 months will have made me rusty... 24/7 smash for a week should sort that out fast.
Robby - make sure beast comes! Will be well good having him there too.
