I remember back some years we used to have a Sunday night Club Arnage meeting on chat or something. Before we'd all met in real life, I think.

Hi Smokie,
               I remember those Sunday gatherings. Some form of message board with 5 or 6 of us posting. Soon had about 3 conversations going at once with a time lag for replies to questions.
Fun times. Thanks for the memory.

Has anyone got Zoom?  (Video conferencing)  I'd never heard of it till last week, but we set the Missus up on it so she can chat to all her friends for hours.  Its what Boris uses in his press conferences for the journalists, now they're not allowed in the room, and its free   :)

She got the letter today.  12 weeks indoors with me  :o  I'm hiding everything sharp ;)

PS Ferrari is going to resume production in a fortnight.  I thought they were still dropping like flies out there.  Could Trump be right, and its all over by Easter, or is it the 1st of the month already

Wasn't this on the Brethren message board or something similar?
It was hilarious posting a comment then watching more comments come in before deciding who was responding to each comment!

It was made more difficult by the fact that most contributors were probably half-cut....

We use it at work a lot, and even more now that we are all WFH, if you are using the free version then there is a limit of 40 minutes per session don't forget.

I was wondering if we could run a Zoom based pub
