Zoom, eh?  Ok. Why not. Of course you were probably hoping to rope in someone who lives more than 3 hours away from you. You don’t really need Zoom to give a fellow Texan the stink eye.

Damn right sir!! I would love to chat with some fellow Slorgies. And see your different projects and stuff. As for bridges I’m pretty sure Ive got them all but if I missed one we could definitely burn it too. Some Ive burned even twice which I didn’t know was possible.

NOOC- Well yes, we are relatively close if you don’t take my laziness and your busyness into account. Also I’m reasonably sure with your profession that at least one of your children is a mandroid. Which terrifies me. But yes we should definitely get together some time and throw some rocks. I would love to actually have a fellow slinger to sling with even if just for a day.

I’ll wait a week and see if anyone else is interested. I would love to get a nice group together to tell stories and chat.

Thanks RM. And good to see you as well my friend. I hope you are doing very well.

Yeah time zone is the thing to think about.
They do one on my bbq forum, but it’s 5pm pacific time (I know I know, Americans have never worked out that there are other countries in the world and we all use a standard time measurement

Which works out to about 10pm my time. Or dinner time.
It’s when my medication wears off and I start feeling like eating again.

So we’ll either need it early afternoon for the yanks, either puts Mersa in the middle of the night or their middle of the morning, or late night for the yanks.
I lose track on the antipodes. I believe they’re 9 hours ahead of the uk, or 11.
Quite what’s that equates to in us time - will take some working out

Let’s face it - it’s you awkward buggers in North America with your 3 time zones that bugger things up.

We British invented time so if we could all work with GMT as the base point - it would make it easier to work out

Let’s list our time zones and we can go from there.

I’m at GMT: 0


Never done a zoom - But I have sorted it out for a few clients recently. And my new-to-me(old one my mate gave me) iPad Pro is a decent size for it.

I’m not an apple fan and for the  800 odd quid he originally paid for it, it was massively over priced. But for a freebie with neat fold out keyboard cover  - great little piece of kit

I’ll go download zoom and have a play.

GMT -6 depending on daylight savings... but I also have an infant in the house... the fourth one in 6 years. Sleeping hours are a long lost concept, so my timezone is probably less relevant than most.

Gmt -5, but iam technology impaired so i shall see.

@Morphy that reminds me of the RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS concertnack in the late 90s. Nothing but tube socks

Forgot to mention I am also GMT -6.

@Vetryan I definitely remember that haha.
