After the entire day of gaming we head for the local pub for a true English pub-meal and I bet there'll be some nice  and too

After that it's nighty-night at the local Travelodge and heading back home half-way in the day.

I'm really exited to take this very short but I bet very pleasant trip !

Wow. They still use prop planes for tourism. Have fun, man. What do the smiley's mean, exactly, though.

Well, it's a rather short distance flight and this one does 670 km/h so it's not that much slower than a jet, yet much more fuel efficient for short-haul flights.

Of course it's a bit noisier but overall it was two pleasant flights. The operator is a "price-fighter" but not a charter operator.

I forgot a question mark about the smiley's. What do those mean?

[Level42]

Thought you were just kidding about them ? I thought it was obvious: friends having a party drinking a bit and the one on the right drinks a little too much..... which we of course didn't. You don't get drunk from English beer anyway. Unless you drink barrels of it......

Decided to put all pictures on Bruno's great arcade forum since it all fits nicely into the "Arcade Life Style" section. That means there's also pics that are not directly related to arcade machines in there

Anyway click here now ! : http://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/index.php?topic=818.0


Or for the _really_ lazy one's, here's the video's:

Nice selection. Good lighting for playing; terrible for video.  The text on that Space suggests to me it was a Euro version of Scramble. Interestingly vermillion backdrop on the Gorf marquee. Poor Joust, it wasn't on or working. And I see the 'eightball' was giving that dude grief at the beginning of the second board on Marble Madness.

Yeah, I was serious about the smileys. Perhaps you can tell I'm not a drinker.
