Well sort of. They came at 11pm and planned to sleep in the car. As it was the shop ended up being open all night as Gibbo and and others were still working so they were allowed into the warm shop and given energy drinks pizza and allowed to plays games until the morning.,

Incredible hospitality! Maan, I'm sad that I've missed the experience :(

Well done OCUK, I was dreading some Black Friday nonsense, but you handled it with real class! :)
 
Yeah I`d love to visit... shame its too far

Maybe ocUK should host few gaming events during the night or something? Championships, charge entry fee and get prize money... Since community is so large it might work and be fun.

I would regularly attend :D though I openly admit that I know I would lose every time :p
 
I had the opportunity to go for the dgm but never went for it. Kind of regretting it but its money I can't afford to spend at the most. Still' well worth no sleep for 2 days. I finished work at 2am went straight to ocuk arrived at 5am left at 12 got home at 330 baclk to work at 6 and finished AAT 430am, so I'm feeling like death right now. Also, to shut whiners up, raffle tickets were handed out after 730am when more than 20 people turned up wanting the deals. People didn't roll in a 5 got tickets and went to sleep I their car. I met some very nice people ans I helpes d save someone 150 quid by grabbing him a 7970 on the 1 per customer rule, as a gesture of goodwill as he got another he gave me the games voucher, some nice folk out there, all nice today. Thanks over lockers, enjoyed today.
 
One day I will go to one of these events :p It will be a good opportunity to exchange some steam ID's and make a few new mates as well as of course.

Nope, it was actually 8pm, I posted in the other thread upon arrival but couldn't post much after that as my phone was out of juice.

No sleep involved though!
