ICE, anyone?

Don't worry. Simmo can be the designated driver. I seriously doubt they serve muppets there

Now I am doubly looking forward to meeting you. I own a travel agency in Thailand.

OK, my curiosity is beginning to get the better of me. �40/�50 does not seem so bad for London. I was thinking it would be nearer �200 per night at Earls court during such an event.
If a pub is decided upon, and the name & address/postcode posted I will look at coming along to meet up just for the day even if I don't bother with the show.
I had a look at the registration page, and it still only allows for company reps to register as company name and position are compulsory. Whether they actually check these out is a matter for them, they used to somewhat, but if there is no pressure on attendance I expect checking will be less enthusiastic.

Although I have never been, I DO have a valid company "code" that should get me in to ATEI (Pinball machines), but may not necessarily count for ICE now that they have become separate shows. UK Fruit Machine makers tend to worry a little about "players" getting in and hearing something intended for distributers - many players DO get through the checks though, I referred to "creative registration" before. Walk the Walk, Talk the Talk, and how are they to know you don't REALLY run a small arcade in Scunthorpe

I registered as travel agency so no worries there.

If you want to book the accommodation (without PM'ing me) go to here click on HOTELS, then choose London, United Kingdom, check-in date 24 January 2007, 1 night, Single room - then, bottom right hand side of the page it says click here for more locations/districts, find Earls Court then you will see a 2* and 3* hotel with AVAILABLE highlighted in red next to their descriptions. You can book from there if you wish.

I'm not sure if I'll make the actual show (despite registering and receiving my badge!) - so it's just the booze for me too. It looks like I'll arrive in the city about three ish on the Wednesday, then I'm at a seminar all day Thursday on the other side of town...
