[cursive dagger]

Airbnb Doto

[tough dagger]

Nice!

[frail scaffold]

I have a seat

[normal trench]

Finally arrived

[frail scaffold]

I finally remembered what I forgot

I forgot to print my tickets

I still have no idea why they didn't arrive in a first place

[old hare]

Oopsie

[frail scaffold]

Guess I got way too stunned by London's architecture

I hope I wont have any problem there. I'll just pay print fee just in case

[topaz talon]

@tough dagger ok just secured the charger lol

the apple store is closing in 15 minutes i was running there LOL

[surreal copper]

Anyone made it to the premier inn? Me and @normal trench just got there

[rustic harness]

Yeah my partner and I are here!

[surreal copper]

Ayyyy

[surreal copper]

We're just having a wander down to the NEC now. First time in Birmingham so we're getting our bearings

[old hare]

I am on my way gamers

[queen plover]

probably wont go to the nec area until tomorrow just to avoid traveling too much more today (in city centre)

[rustic harness]

We’ve been into Birmingham earlier today but got an Uber to the station because we couldn’t figure out how to walk there, let us know if you figure it out 😂

Went to sea life this afternoon 🐠🐳

[queen plover]

omg otter

[old hare]

Turtle

Aqua tortoise

[queen plover]

i sure do see the life

[normal trench]

Damn haven't been to a sea life in years

[rustic harness]

It’s a pretty awesome one, I’ve been once before

[frail scaffold]

Shit I took the wrong charger

I have powerbank but it wont last for more then 2 days

I'll have to take get one too

[topaz talon]

final meal of the day ig

[humble viper]

GREGGS

[normal trench]

Well we figured out our way there in probably in possibly the most awkward path we could have taken

[humble viper]

to the arena?

[normal trench]

Yea from the premier inn

[humble viper]

that's a trek no?

[normal trench]

About 25-30 minutes

[surreal copper]

Made it 😁

[rustic harness]

Oh good to know! We wanted to do the walk in the mornings so maybe we need some tips from you 😂

[surreal copper]

It's a bit of a windy walk but it's not too bad

[normal trench]

Can always meet up in the morning and walk as a group

[surreal copper]

We'll probably be setting off around 9-9:15

[rustic harness]

Okay, we’ll let you know if we’ll meet!

[surreal copper]

Sounds good 👍👍

[old hare]

When did they change London Euston departure board

This is the single biggest downgrade I've ever seen

Absolutely fuming

[tough dagger]

Which one?

[normal trench]

The NEC airport hotel

[old hare]

Be in Brum in an hour 🙏🏻

[frail scaffold]

Haha, just came from there

[old hare]

🫡🫡🫡

[topaz talon]

more people are arriving

nice

[rustic harness]

Yesss

[frail scaffold]

I managed to get adapter too, super overpriced but better than a dead phone

[tough dagger]

No powerbank? 😳

[frail scaffold]

I wasted it today already

[old hare]

Usb-c master race

[frail scaffold]

I finally got into my hotel

[lapis shore]

I should probably work out when to leave tomorrow morning, where to park, and what time to arrive

[old hare]

What's the phone signal like in the hotel

[bitter condor]

pls be good

[old hare]

Any 5G enjoyerd

[rustic harness]

Not the best, we paid for the ultimate WiFi and that’s fab though

You might have better luck, depends on the service provider you’re with I suppose

[old hare]

How much is the ultimate WiFi

[bitter condor]

[tough dagger]

Our wifi is doing good but the airalo e-sim is a bit rough for me rn

[rustic harness]

It’s a bit pricey but it covers 3 devices (so mu partner and I and my laptop), but it’s £5 a day, or £15 for 7 days, so we did the 7 days one seen as we’re here for 4 nights

[bitter condor]

not too bad

[rustic harness]

Could be worse

And it’s been perfect once we’re on it

[old hare]

Not bad actually

[tough dagger]

Thats cheap af

[old hare]

I'll see what the sitch is but I paid so little for the hotel I could stretch to that

[rustic harness]

Yeah it’s really not bad

[tough dagger]

But you didnt Tell us what it is, is it a service or

Or am i just tired

[rustic harness]

What? 😂 it’s just the ultimate wifi so when you go to choose the wifi to log in on the hotel choose the ultimate and then you pay and get it

If that makes sense

Because I am also KNACKERED

[old hare]

I get to Brum in like 5 mins

It made sense to me kits tweakin

[bitter condor]

lads my fatigue is already awful and the weekends not even started yet im gonna die

[old hare]

https://tenor.com/view/prost-red-bull-gif-22213461

Can't wait for a cuppa tea

[topaz talon]

is it early sleep angle…?

idk what to do 💀

😭

[tough dagger]

Oh we are not in the same one

Thats why i was confused haha

[old hare]

Who's at the airport one

[tough dagger]

Get prepared mentally

[old hare]

https://tenor.com/view/dumping-trash-daniel-labelle-frustrated-garbage-trash-gif-27186872

[young dune]

You couldn't figure out how to walk where? 😛
Birmingham New Street?

Just walk to "Grand Central" shopping centre, and then get the esculators down into the dungeon, which is the train station.

[tough dagger]

Woooow

[tough dagger]

You can borrow one of mine

[rustic harness]

Nooooo from the premier inn to the NEC, Google maps wanted us to walk on roads without walkways haha

[frail scaffold]

I bought one already, just in case. My dad's travels a lot too, so it kinda handy

[bitter condor]

how dare people not drive to NEC and instead take the train to the station they made for the NEC smh

[young dune]

Oh, I know that. Gimmie a sec

[frail scaffold]

I have train station really close, around 5 mins by walk, and 10 mins on a train itself to Birmingham international

Sooo

Very good location

[frail scaffold]

More energy

[young dune]

Nice nice 🙂

Also, for all these peeps struggling with their phones. If you find me tomorrow, I'll have a power bank on me you can plug into :p

[frail scaffold]

I'll have one too!!

Just in case

[rustic harness]

Us also!

[frail scaffold]

Everyone's prepared

[tough dagger]

I have like 3

[frail scaffold]

FOR WHAT

Hahahaha

Why u need so manyyy

[tough dagger]

1. Im an event mom
2. I have an iphone
3. I just got one back from Benji that borrowed it during Berlin

[frail scaffold]

Hmmmmm, ok fair enough

My friend used to use my powerbank 24/7 back in Ukraine

But since we live in different cities in Poland I gifted him one on his birthday

And after like a month he writes me

Now I know how u feel when everyone's taking your powerbank

[young dune]

@frail scaffold - did you sort out your tickets / printing?

[frail scaffold]

Nuh didn't manage to find anything related to printing opening back then, I'll just pay a fee there already. Just in case

[young dune]

You should be able to get the printed at the arena ticket office tomorrow. It shouldbe free too - it was one of the options when you bought them.

Just have your email with info in it and explain they sucked in not posting them.

You shouldn't pay for their error.

I'll be there an hour early, I'm good at arguing with people if you're not 😛

[frail scaffold]

[rustic harness]

We will make sure you all get sorted 😠❤️

[young dune]

@rustic harness - I DMed you the walking route from your hotel to the arena. All on pavements 😛

If anyone else needs help getting from A to B - holla. 🙂

Especially walking from Premier Inn to the Arena, I just plotted those on google maps for nicola.

Of course she has them too, so you can just ask her for them / follow her tomorrow.

[bitter condor]

gib

[young dune]

DMed

[tough dagger]

Bed time, see yal tomorrow. Going to be the most colourful person there!

very much a joke

[topaz talon]

I still don’t understand the bag rules tbh

if I take a small material bag with a power bank, notebook etc.

do I need to leave it at the entrance or I can easily take it and have it all the time?

[old hare]

I just did this it was so much fun

It's all dark and empty

Jumped so many fences and went round so many security boxes

[rustic harness]

🤣😭🤣

[young dune]

https://www.resortsworldarena.co.uk/protect/bag-policy/

If its smaller than A4, with 2 or less compartments, it seems you can enter with it

[old hare]

What the heck are these glasses

Why they so smol

[young dune]

What a rebel

You got rewarded with a tiny cup too:?

[old hare]

No complimentary lotus biscuits either

SHAME

[bitter condor]

actual crime

[surreal copper]

Anyone got plans for walking down in the morning? We're thinking of setting off at either quarter last or half past 9

[old hare]

That's so earlyyyyyy

When do games start

[tough dagger]

12

But its always fun to spend those 2 hours to just look around the arena

Chat with new and old friends etc

[old hare]

Breakfast runs until 10:30 so I'll head down at 10:30

[surreal copper]

that’s fair

[old hare]

TWO TEABAGS IN THE ROOM

SHOCKING

[normal trench]

We had a look around the surrounding area and there's a few things to do to kill time

[young dune]

Literally me (if I was at the hotel)

No way I am leaving before breakfast ending 😛

[old hare]

Unlimited breakfast unlimited tea

[rustic harness]

Hahahahaha

[old hare]

Idk how you share a room with only 2 teabags

Partner ain't getting shit

[bitter condor]

[surreal copper]

Good Morning!!

[lapis shore]

[young dune]

Already 1 delay, woooo! :p

[surreal copper]

Gotta love it

[young dune]

(i hate our public transport)

[rustic harness]

Only 1?

[surreal copper]

How bad's the delay?

[young dune]

The day is still young

[rustic harness]

Indeed 😂

[young dune]

What time are you walking over?

[rustic harness]

Think we’re planning to leave the hotel at like 9:15

[young dune]

I still expect to get there for around 11. I was aiming for 10:20

[young dune]

Fairs, so just before 10. It's about a 30min stroll

[rustic harness]

Yep! We want plenty of time to wander and take it all in

[young dune]

Still pretty early. I'd definitely be more like Will and leaving later :p

[surreal copper]

Admittedly, there's not a huge amount to look at between here and the resort world arena 😅

Just commercial hall after commercial hall

[young dune]

Are you going to lead the blind and make sure the gang gets there?

[young dune]

10mins, but then I miss the train I wanted. So 30mins

[queen plover]

Leaving early just due to getting bored in my hotel room

[young dune]

Wow, that's real early.

[queen plover]

Might as well be bored and hanging outside the arena than bored here

[young dune]

You have plenty of shops to distract you on the walk across?

[queen plover]

I’m travelling from city centre tbf so it’s going to take like 30-40 mins to get there

[surreal copper]

We're tempted to set off now tbh, it's kinda dead at the hotel

[lapis shore]

Managed to spill boiling water on my hand and then left my tickets in my house so a good start to my day

[young dune]

Oh...

Oops?

Do you need to go back?

[young dune]

The hotel isn't a hive of activity?! Shocking!

[mellow glacier]

For 3 day tickets do we just take them day by day or do we get a thing for whole weekend does anyone know?

[lapis shore]

Thankfully i realised before getting too far and am back on the way

[queen plover]

Don’t they allow digital tickets anyway or is that only if you selected that option

[young dune]

No idea. It's the option I selected though.

I'll be getting the 10:39 train from New Street to international.

If anyone is heading over a little later and wants to tag along with someone who knows the way. Then meet me on the platform (1A)

[topaz talon]

On my way to the train station!!!

Haha, fairs. I love the honesty.

[frail scaffold]

[young dune]

Could you work out where the accent was from?

[young dune]

Did I hit a nerve?

[rustic harness]

No 😂 I was saying the accent is very funny

[frail scaffold]

Nuuh, I'm not familiar with accents depending on a region

[old hare]

[young dune]

More like Timado than Yuragibear... Considering you have hair

[frail scaffold]

[young dune]

Most bald people do... (This joke seems pointless to make without my best friend being able to read it)
