| |  time difference USA/UK
One of these days, i'm going to stay up till the wee small hours, Say 2,3am and chat with the forum. That way i'l be contributing at the same time, instead of dropping off a bunch of responses when no-one else is around. Mind you, I'll prob need a few black russians to keep me awake so my contributions will be pretty naff
Theres a 4-7 hour time difference with America and UK, so when i'm asleep you're all chatting.....Mind you, when i'm having my morning coffee, i do enjoy logging in to see whats occuring while the USA sleeps.
Night night its 12 26am

Yeah but...As anyone who knows me would testify... It's difficult enough to shut me up at the best of times. Imagine if i was synchronised with USA time. OMG The mind boggles. I'd be run out of town.

True.
Gotta cunning plan... Just call me Baldrick
Why dont all the UK folk get together on forum. Say 3 am and we can have a virtual party with our US compadres. I'll bring the food. It'll be anywhere between 8 and 11 pm US time. Can we fit the Antipedes in and maybe even the rest of the world Dont know the time differences. I could ask Tessa if she fancies a party. What say you?
We'd need someone to synchronise and send out invites. Maybe even meet folk we havnt seen for a while eh?

yeah , webcam and new years eve..set em up, focus on the little buffet tables and see all the people eating everyones food, while we drink ourselves silly and chat with people online cause we set most of it up the day before. New Years starts out by New zealand doesn't it, just celebrate it all day long via members!
ok I have been drinking...but its still a good idea....

Gunnar, if you think that any Scot would be available online at Midnight on Hogmanay..... well, all I'm saying is that our reputation for partying is well-deserved....!  |

The time zones really confuse me out.. I work in Hong Kong and it would be mostly noon when its midnight in the US. So, most of the posts I make are when the peeps in America are fast asleep! |

Surely the boffins could come up with a system to synchronise us all.
I too sometimes get a bit fuddled with time diferences. I spent most of last year talking on the phone to my husband in Dubai constantly having to add/subtract hours while we talked. This year its Rio and he'll be talking on the ship at 4 in the pm while i'm clearing up the dinner dishes. Its a wee bit mind numbing keeping up sometimes. Or maybe its just me... 
Hey Gunnar. New year would be fab. I'll prob need the technology explained in slow-time, but what a hoot. Great idea...
