    Cal, it wasn’t “my” call today so I can’t get the chat (well actually neither was the first one, it was Willie1Foot’s).

    Rogin the Armchair fan was the Keeper,of the Code, so may or may not be able to dig it out. So in terms of TG’s imagination, I assume you mean beyond suggesting I have porno DVDs on the shelf?

    I attempted to continue eavesdropping on the call as I walked round the supermarket but lost you all when you (Cal) were talking about New Mexican politics. Which sounds pretty great apart from two wingnut Trumpian wannabees. I was also on long enough to hear that FF’s sound was crystal clear which is good.

      It's been a source of dishonoUr and shame for a month shy of 20 years to not make it to Blighty for a thon, so I was overjoyed to make it to one tonight.

      Grazie, Rogin and all.

      I pray I can make it to at least one live one as my personal Mecca before the lights go out.

      Sorry I thought Sporting was talking to me when he was asking about the long posts, before I quickly realized I arrived in the middle of a question posed to aiatl.

      But thanks.

        That was really fun and I hope we can do it again soon.

          Great to see you all. I nipped out to the jacks, and when I came back it was all gone.

          Particularly great to see Teddy and Sam. Teddy is even better looking in video.

            He said the same thing about you, Colm.

              And sorry we just missed you coming back in Sits. I'm still baffled why you were livestreaming wherever you were off to in the truck, given that I missed the explanation of you suddenly being in there and driving somewhere while I was off getting a coffee.


              I meant to say in the chat, when the subject was briefly being debated a couple of hours back I quickly looked back a page or two here to see how long it actually was since the first Virtual 'Thon and it was only 2 weeks ago, 9th/10th May depending on where in the world you were. So if anyone fancies coming back for Round 3 in only a couple of weeks' time, I'd definitely be up for poking my head in again.
              Yes, one month is too long. I vote for two weeks, too. That was great fun, but obviously some people were missed. You know who you are.

                Crap. I figured I’d missed it and went for a walk. Maybe I can make it next time.

                  Anyway, this is what we look like.

                    Excellent, both looking good; I hope the walk did you good HP.

                      Chuffed to hear it went so well

                      Gutted to have missed it

                        Yo guys, 'Durham Gadabout' here to back a fortnightly date. Thanks to Rogin, Willie and the crew. On a poignant note, I never have made it to Toronto to visit family and check out some craft beers with WOM, but this is the next best

                          I was a bit pissed and tired by the end, and suffered some sound and video problems, so excuse me for asking who the very amiable woman was (someone's partner, presumably) who made an appearance towards the end.

                            Sorry I missed this (and the opportunity to say hello to FF!) - will endeavour to make the next one. Hope y’all enjoyed...

                              That was Jason's lovely wife.

                                  Glad it was another good one. One of these Saturdays I'll reach 11pm without already being a bit pissed.

                                    You're saying that as if it's a barrier to entry. Paul S was on pints of something last night that looked like the flasks bubbling on the bench of a Hammer film scientist.

                                      It's good stuff mate, even if it is a bit strong.

                                        Very sorry I missed it. Add my vote to those for a fortnightly schedule. What was the official peak attendance?

                                          I think we had 18 at one point, when FF had to switch laptops and Sits was off filming OTF top gear.

                                            Thanks Rogin for making that happen! It was great to see everyone on there, especially the people who weren't on the first one two weeks ago. Some of TG's chat post made me laugh out loud.

                                              Just seeing ad hoc’s post, the current time slot was suggested by me, and does sort of block the ‘thon from OTFers more than a few hours ahead of the UK or behind Sydney. ad hoc and Uncle Ethan spring to mind but I’m sure there are others.

                                              Anyway the point is, they don’t always have to be at the same time if some are missing out.

                                                18 was the peak on both days. We can get to 25 I reckon.

                                                  Who is going to do a review of the meeting, was very surreal?

                                                    I wouldn't mind if it started, say, an hour earlier. If it's going to go on for 3 hours plus anyway. Then Sits can rock up at a reasonable time for him and for me it feel a bit less like trying to watch the Superbowl or a test match from NZ
