Format of skype practice

I’m probably not going to be able to talk tomorrow. On holiday at the moment, and don’t think the wifi here is good enough for a Skype call. Hopefully next week!

I will if you will! If no John by 10 minutes past the hour, I will revert to watching S4C!! By the way, International Rugby - BBC outbid by a commercial outfit, possibly Sky. For Welsh, S4C will be OK for now, but lack of funds might affect their ability to pay and Commerce might find it cheaper to pay Welsh commentators to be available on red button! I hope sincereley that never happens but I do not like the commercialisation of Rugby Union and loss of TV rights by ‘free’ for UK viewers stations is a side effect of loss of amateur status!

I’ve got a cold, nothing for me tonight!

@tatjana it seems @ramblingjohn has lost the internet,so I guess we wait to hear from hm. Maybe next week? I don’t see any point in lurking on Skype this evening!

Yah, there’s a lot of cold these days. In our house too, however not me but anyway. Get well soon @onomatopoeicowl.

Well, I’ll appearantly look on at 8 to see if there’s any group call. If not I’ll go off too. If there’s not any call I won’t call anybody either though.

I cannot make the skype call this Thursday but will aim for the 22nd March 7pm UK time.

Cheers J.P.

Diolch.

I probably wouldn’t attend either becaus I’m a bit ill. I’m going to work though but at the evening I’m quite exhausted so let me be excused this week.

So @margaretsteinmann pay attention that there is not official group chat organized by @ramblingjohn, but will be on 22nd March. However if someone other is there, you can all chat of course.

Hwyl!

Hope to be waiting on 22/03/2018!

No. Not in bestnof health. Just usual, but no energy. So no Skype tonight!

I’ll try to be on at 8 pm GMT+1 what means 7 pm UK time if there by all occassion will be the chat which I’m actually not sure of as these days there are all on Slack/Hangouts. :slight_smile:

I’d just want to allert you ahtt John’s group chat is in progress so if someone wants to join us we’re on the Skype chatting.

WARNING - If you are not in UK, you may not know that British Summer Time started on Sunday 25/03/2018 and this week’s Skype session at 7,00 p.m. our time on29/03 will be an hour earlier in real time than last week! We all lost an hour of sleep!

Also be aware that the hour may have moved in the other direction in the Southern Hemisphere! The regular Skype chats I’ve been having with Alex no longer work for us as the time changed by two hours not just one. We will still have chats at the weekend, as and when we can, but won’t be able to do them in the week until the the hours change again in the autumn.

@tatjana are you skyping? Is anyone? @ramblingjohn?

Sorry to not answer you, but you’ve came and you’ve seen @ramblingjohn was not there. Thank you for joining me and thank you all who came also.

Don’t thank me! I was too angry with the UK Government to do much more than fume! @Jane could you see us? We couldn’t see you due to lack of camera, but I suddenly realised later that I could see @tatjana and Margaret before I switched my camera on, so… if you could, you know why we started to giggle… small poodle on screen! She is currently sleeping peacefully to music from Twm Tisian on S4C! I have heard/seen virtually nothing about S4C. The Controller clearly feels obliged to make the best of it, but I am not sure I can even submit the petition… it is now dismissible with a wave of the hand and… “Now a matter for the BBC!” On the day before Good Friday, you will notice! Still fuming, I’d better stop there!

I am not sure if any of you plan to Skype this evening, but I am a bit pushed for time, so don’t be surprised if I don’t join in!

Anything happening this evening @ramblingjohn , @tatjana, anyone?

If there’s any taker I can make a call group at 21:00 my time (20:00 UK time) however I won’t be on long. @ramblingjohn didn’t put anything here so I presume there’d not be usual Skype madness. That’s why I dare to alter the time a bit.

If you’d be willing to talk, answer the call when it rings, if not, ignore it, but remember, 20:00 UK time not 19:00. OK?

If something comes on the way though (because my son is away) I’ll leave a note on here.

Sorry, @tatjana i am all out of energy this evening. Sitting staring at each other in total silence would not be very useful. Hope someone takes you up on your kind offer!
