Thank you so much @Matt Vince for hosting yesterday, it was great to see everyone as always! Such a wonderful, friendly atmosphere.
I had some really bad games yesterday (like Flash Gordon instantly draining down the middle twice off the plunger!), so it was a genuine surprise to get 3rd place in the women's division, I had been sat in the mess room reading a book and didn't even know the ceremony was on - thank you @Genotime for coming to find me!!
I had a lot of happy crying yesterday and it's definitely going to live in pride of place now.
Congrats @Itch on the win! Well done!
Looking forward to the next one!

Keep meaning to say hi and talk about Ted
Congratulations on the win!
I'm sure I'd have been up there if I hadn't been drinking (and was good at Pinball)

I went back to GoT about three times waiting for Tux's (Dave Tucker?) game to finish. It was a real pleasure to watch and learn as I still don't know how to nudge successfully, nor did I know how to play GoT.It must have rubbed off because GoT was one of my best scores, despite never having played it before.
Congrats on your first win, Brad. Sure there will be many more, well done mate.
Thank you mate

Just a heads up - two attendees have since tested positive for covid - whilst it’s not certain that PBR is the location of the source folks should test themselves.
always worth doing a LFT before going to any large event.

David and I both woke up with colds/flu today (coughs, sore throat, fever) so I have done an LFT - it came back negative but I will continue to test just to be on the safe side...
That's potentially my fault, sorry
We all had Omicron symptomatically between 24th December and 10th January with the exception of Hector (Flipper Beast) who has - so far - survived his entire family with symptomatic COVID-19 AND a multi-child/teacher classroom outbreak without displaying any symptoms...
So, I'm assuming we're not in the running to get it again...
I also still FFP3 mask up everywhere but, to be honest, that's now more about trying to fend off the common cold than it is COVID. Unfortunately, I have an undiagnosed immune disorder that means the common cold can generate symptoms ranging from painfully swollen toes to mouth ulcers and insomnia. It's a bit of a losing battle, as I'm living with the world's most snotty (and affectionate) toddler, but the more disease flares I can prevent, the happier (and more productive) I am!

Hope you guys don't go full rona. Get well soon.
David has just tested positive, sadly - I'm still coming up negative.
We have both managed to avoid it until now (we're both double jabbed), but I guess it was inevitable we'd catch it eventually!
I'm surprised I avoided it all this time.
Every cloud has a silver lining as I had two awful jobs at work Thursday and Friday
But off for two weeks from Saturday
was hoping to do some overtime to pay for pinball

Take care @David_Vi and @LecariI'm surprised I avoided it all this time.

We are both over 40 and clinically vulnerable (and triple jabbed) and our bout of symptomatic omicron was a bad cold with tiredness. So, hopefully you’ll get off lightly too.
Thank you for the kind thoughts Vee! Fingers crossed.
Both Jo and myself are triple jabbed and we've managed to avoid it so far. Jo teaches disabled children so has been in full PPE since the start and I've been working from home and its only pinball that has finally drawn me out of my hermit lifestyle. Now though, we've both decided to get out and get living again so there's a feeling of inevitability to it here too.
Hope you guys only get a light dusting of Rona.
I have the COVID
I've been triple jabbed so hopefully won't be too bad but I know a guy who was similarly jabbed and he got it bad and was feeling drained for at least a couple of months. Got a horrible rash all over his body!
