If the pizza is ordered by 7pm, no-one will get hurt!
Dave.
PS, I am really dissapointed to have to let the AFM go, but the missus just could not get into it. I reckon this should be a "first to see will buy" at that price. Too cheap I says!
Thanks for an entertaining hour playing pins and talking crap all the same.

Oh man no Kiss was looking forward to playing one oh well. Yesterday was a big day arrived at the hotel at 7.30 in the morning and it wasnt open so we walked from glebe to the city and walked aeround till lunch then walked back the glebe.
Checked in to our hotel found the nearest pub (right across the road) which had an Austin powers pinball. $3 kept us playing for atleast 2hours so great value so then we started apub crawl back into the city. On the way we found a Circus Voltaire and a Revenge fron mars in one pub and a Star wars Ep1 in another (High scored that baby) Our only goal for the day was to take a photo of the bridge with me in it for my son which is done and dusted but what a walk we then went for tea at some sea food restaraunt polished of a massive seafood platter then headed to the casino. Went in and got kicked out after about 5minutes coz arcus was wearing a singlet (Ha ha ha) Well thats the trip so far and we will be seeing you all soon ^^^

Must thank Rob tony paul and paul for a great night really enjoyed putting faces to names real names were a challenge but user ids worked well. Pizzas are as good as everyone has said and the JW was flowing i didnt win the pinball comp i didnt think it was fair a first timer winning it (Or im just s##t)
Thanks again.
PS did i drop a camera there paul???? Sons going to be pissed ive lost the photos of me and the bridge........
-
Just got back from the meet. BIG thanks to Paul and Louise it was a great night. Good to meet you all, great bunch of people (i apologize for being half asleep tonight, i always am this time of year). Well done Rod on the win. A lot of fun to play the machines, and even more enjoyable to listen to people talk pinball. Looking forward to the next one ^^^
Daniel, i hope you find your camera mate.
-
Hope furby didnt hurt his thumb playing Fire........
-
!!! I couldnt be there, stuck at my missus's work xmas party (bored outa my skull). RB meets are great. How did the machines handle the heat?
-
Looks like a lot of fun, hopefully more pics to follow.
-
Will have a look around for the Camera....will post it down to you if its here mate...

Found,
He left it here :lol It's in the post Daniel - just sent *%*
Once again a huge thanks so much to Paul and Louise for opening up their place to us....and their kids LAURA (got it right kid :lol), Kelly and Harry ^^^
Excellent turnup, food and of coarse the games.
Some first timers such as Cam (Big Dog) who came down from Coffs Harbour, Paul (KAZ), Brad (Braddo) and not to forget the Geelong Brothers, Dan and Marcus. Have to love their style....on the way we dropped into the bottle shop and out they come - Daniel with a DOZEN JW and Cokes and Marcus with a dissappointing 6 Bundy Rums
Lastly THANKYOU to Greg from RTTB for the wonderful donations of prizes http://www.rtbb.com.au/catalog/index.php

Rod and I had a fantastic time, as usual -- thanks for having us, Rollerball! Loved the Christmas laser light show outside, too! #*#
Had to share my little video clip of that great first ball Rod had in the Firepower finals ... damn, if I'd known it was going to be such a good one I would have been filming from the start. Still -- it's enjoyable. Way to go Rod, and congrats to all three winners! I knew I didn't have a chance in hell. LOL
Oh -- also really enjoyed playing Centipede with a trackball!! Oh ... am I allowed to mention video games here? Ah well ... anyway, thanks again Paul and Louise!

Thanks yet again for Paul and Louise for hosting another fantastic night . Was good to catch up with some familiar faces and was great to catch up with some guys who travelled quite a way to be there (Daniel,Markus,Cam) as well as some new local Sydney boys (and girl - sorry Anna).
The line up had changed quite a bit even since the August meet so was good to play some new ones which I hadn't before . All of them held up remarkably well in the warm conditions .
Was good to catch up with Dave (furball) again and check out his war wound although he wouldn't even shake anybody's hand .. %.% (Get well soon big fella).
Pizza's were delicious as always and the comp was entertaining to say the least . Big thanks to Greg from RTBB for the prizes (although I didn't even come close to winning anything) . It's guys like this who make the hobby enjoyable .
Thanks again RB .
-
Congrats Rod for winning First price for the best T-Shirt on the night (..and winning the pinball comp)
Congrats to Wotto for not playing the games - ensured they were all working !
Question - what were those big ugly things in between the pinballs that people were using as arm rests ? !^! !^!
-
Yeah Rod was on Fire (no pun) and it was all over after the first ball.....Paul (Freeplay) put a bit of pressure on the last ball but came up short.
Well done Rod - his score was more than the other 3 players combined :lol
-
Thanks again Paul and Louise.
I HAD that pinball comp - but Paul cheated and I couldnt submit my excellent score ^&(
Its a god-damn conspiracy I tell ya :lol
Really good night , lot of fun talking pins and picking on Andrew ( Cardini ) as usual, nice to meet all the new attendees and congrats to those that travelled so far.....
This guy was hogging all the games but....

Thumbs up to Paul and Louise for another top night of pinball and talking shit with a top bunch of guys and girls. Good to see some more "Better halves" attending as well. ^^^
Ah Firepower. Was having a couple of warm up games with Mr Fairlane earlier in the night, and the machine was being a total bastard. So I didn't rate myself a chance.
I think the best strategy on Firepower if you're playing for points in a comp is to avoid those retched stand ups early on, and shoot for the top lanes to multiply your bonus.
-
Paul and Louise, another great meet as usual. $#$
Enjoyed as usual, The company, the food and the pins.
Kev

I managed to squeeze 2 games of WH2O in with the crook hand before I decided it was a bit too much risk. Mrs Furbs LOVED WH2O! Definately on the list of potential next pins (gotta have the MM 100% first though). Despite the inability to play too many games, it was well worth the drive to catch up with a top bunch of blokes and have an awesome (as usual) night.
As always Paul and Louise, many thanks.
Dave (and finally turning up to a RB meet, Krishna)

Haha yeah that's the approach i came up with too. I was already out of the comp by the time i worked that out.

I my experience, the best way to get into the finals of the comp is to avoid being in a heat with Rod or Paul! Wotto is usually a good a opponant to draw though #@#

And at least I dont use a 'band-aid' as an excuse for not entering the comp, mate Marcia Brady is tougher than you :lol

Great to see you all had a ball!
Heaps of great pinballs! Great company!
Pity there are other distractions (on these great occasions in life) Hey EB?

I trust I am not the last to offer my gratitude to Paul and Louise for another great night? These events get more and more enjoyable, partly for the presentation of a great set of games and partly due to the members who take the time to come over and share their memories of pinball. I was also amazed at the distance many members travelled to be there, Melbourne, Coffs Harbour, and all reaches of Sydney. And cheap ‘sex in a can’....Great stuff.
Only hope I can present a meet on the same level as these guys!
-
Thanks again to Paul & Louise for another top meet. ^^^ ^^^
Great to catch up again & meet a few new faces as well ,How bout the melbourne boys & big dog from Coffs for making the long trek to Rollerballs, well done. Thanks to Greg from RTBB for the prizes as well.
I gotta mention the pins, the pizza & the great company, thats what it's all about.
look forward to the next one
Steve.

How did the sex in a can go Andrew???? !@)
