As I posted on my forum of awesome, I thought I'd share it here:

RV was the first event I ever went to, I loved it, I loved the 'cosy' pub feel, as some people have pointed out there were some BO bandits but just avoid. Yes, it WAS a bit clique but what the fcuk did I care? I drank more in the first hour than most of the attendees did in their entire life. It was also the first time I met Barry, Rich and Tom from orginal old RP and we were wrecking it up LOL I won overall (although Barry disputes this) with 18 pints! Barry claims at least equal. I also remember someone hijacking the RP internet connection (the only one there) to post status reports on some other sh1t forum and I was ready to layeth the smack down on their candy asses for doing so (I had been left in charge of the RP stall whilst a lot of peeps went for a curry). It ended very early in the morning trying to get back to the travel lodge or whatever it was we were staying in? Tom fought a garage cashier over a pasty! true story.

It will always have a place in my heart because of the above, however the original Retoball? destroyed all, it was THE best event ever in the history of retro events, and yes that includes even ones I've never been to.

Apparently you were at Boyo's event in Coventry (L. Spa... well near enough), met all the other RP lads - and many times since (including my Retro Rewind event), but not you! Like Krusty40 you are an enigma koopy doopy

[koopa42]

Oi! I helped Boyo organise the first one, I also designed the tickets and don't even nearly put me in with Kunty......ever.

Only a few days to go now, who wants to win some prizes?

It's very last minute but I'm hoping to come to this. Struggling to find a place to stay though. Does anyone have any spare room at their accommodation or can recommend somewhere? Thanks.
