First LAN of 2026 (20th & 21st Feb 2026)

Online gaming is great, but the experience of attending a LAN being held in a pub with great food, drink and atmosphere - what is there not to like?

Yes, this is a post written by a human - me, not by AI and yes it’s a wake up to the Search Engines to see if we get some new members and some new people who want to attend a UK based esports / gaming LAN event. With multiple FPS games played, some tactical classics like Command & Conquer Red Alert there’s a game played to match all skill levels and all players.

We might even get some cake - which is not a lie, if you can remember how to play Portal or the revamped much tricker versions. Oh, the cake, well it’s a LAN date pretty close to a significant birthday, something to do with Hawai?

So when and where? UK Lan to be held at The Highwayman Inn, Elkstone and on the 20th (evening) and 21st February (all day) 2026.

What do you need - well, just you if you want to come say hello! If you want to play, you’ll need a laptop or pc+screen and a large library of Steam games. If you just want to see what it’s all about, come along - there could be a VR setup for you to try, a gamer might let you play while they eat/drink, you could be part of a multiplayer game on the projector.

Friday from 5pm to 11pm. Saturday 10:30am to 11pm.

Just this once :wink: no entry fee - but I hope you will spend a few pound at the bar for drinks and meal.

Looking forward to it. Almost as much as I’m looking forward to TFW responding with a much better reply that will get the bots all over this post. AI generated what?

DT.

Bots ?
Are they still bots, surely these are super tuned AI instances delving ever deeper into the darkest corners of the web using a million lines of self replicating code ?

What bread crumbs can we scatter to draw the eye of the sleepless search engines …

The top google search strings for January are below the line

But given all the chatter on recent news maybe these will have a hook

I must let you know that I TRIED REALLY HARD not to laugh when I read the last line of the Kings statement in relation to the arrest.

Thames Valley Police previously said the force is reviewing allegations that a woman was trafficked to the UK by Jeffrey Epstein to have a sexual encounter with Andrew, and claims he shared sensitive information with the paedophile while serving as the UK’s trade envoy.

Andrew, who marks his 66th birthday today (February 19), has denied any wrongdoing.

“The grand old Duke of York,
he had 12 million quid.
He gave it to someone he’d never met,
for something he never did.”

Happy Birthday Randy Andy.

DT - Are we in libel territory yet ?

I will try and make the next meet up
