Have you ever ridden with any STW'ers? Pre ride faffage at the levels of Prince of Faffganistan are de-riguer.

Prince of Faffganistan

I am absolutely stealing that as my own and have no shame in doing so.

@tthew has stepped up and volunteered to prepare the next quiz and there is a rumour that Dr @pjm1974 will be able to host a zoom call. date will depend on when the quiz is ready and we can be bothered arranging something. Weekend quiz anyone?

Sorry I disappeared, tablet was losing battery while on charge and suddenly died. I made sure it was fully charged before the start of the chat too.

Enjoyed tonight, a nice break from my usual very quiet and lonely nights. Thanks guys, look forward to the next one.

Ermm, sorry. Despite being reminded I sort of got distracted with a pile of GCSE assessments. I'm definitely/ probably/ possibly, maybe up for the next one though.

Next time I will try to know what day of the week I am living on. Work From Home seems to have affected my mental calendar. Glad to catch the last of the stragglers though

Well I had a cracking night cheers. I was most gratified by some of the cries of anguish when the answers were revealed

If Im not working lates as I dont get home till 830pm

Thats one of the things we talke about last night actually. I think what we decided is that the quiz writer and the zoom host will decide on a date and then we will say "this date, this time". If we need to start a bit later to let people join in then that's easy enough, as long as the date is fixed

Thank you everyone, we also had a really good one. Nice to meet so many forumites, Cougar's vintage computer collection is truly impressive.

Let me know re hosting, I'll negotiate with Dr MrsPJM1974 and we'll book Zoom time.

Great crack last night, thanks gents.
I've already got 10 questions prepared 😁 and as a music round and picture round was suggested I reckon we'll do it the old fashioned way with read out questions and write answers down.

If Im not working lates as I dont get home till 830pm

Concensus was for a Friday or Saturday night so people can let their hair down a bit and not have to work the following day. A later start probably useful for kids bedtimes too.

@gnusmas, did your lad get his birthday Chainsaw? 🤣

Regarding dates and times,

We're never going to be able to please everyone and Wednesday would not have been my first choice, but last night was literally the only evening all three of us had comfortably free for the foreseeable future so we didn't have a vast amount of choice in the matter. I've suggested mixing it up in future, the "Wednesday Night Pub Quiz" sounds like a good idea but it permanently excludes anyone who cannot ever make Wednesdays due to prior commitments, so as above it's looking like the next one will be nearer the weekend. (Not that it's possible to be further away...)

I'm considering doing a poll but I rather suspect that like two people will complete it. Still, I suppose that does mean No Votey, No Whingy.

@tthew nope, as cute as he is there's no way I'm letting him loose with a chainsaw. Likelihood is it would be too heavy for him to lift and he'd probably sit on it and ride it 😬😂

@bunnyhop thankyou, he'll be back from school in around 15 mins and will be really excited for his presents. An evening of carnage and destruction I'm guessing lol

Cougar - Benevolent Dictatorship is the best way to organise this stuff in my experience. Tell everyone when it will be and that will be on a day and time to suit you. If they say they can't make it then it is a shame but they can read about it on the thread afterwards. You don't ask the frogs opinion when you drain the swamp.

I know, I am a loss to the diplomatic corps 🙂
