How about a weekly "date" at the GLOBO chat alltogether. For example each Friday at 2pm (GMT+1). Maybe we could make a kind of ritual out of that and establish that time every week. It would be fun to see a lot of people on the chat for a specific time. I have learned that it is very difficult to meet. Even a few minutes difference between 2 people looking in the chat keep it empty. How about such a date?

Otherwise, those in Asia and North America might not be able to drop because of work or sleep. Maybe even Saturday would be better than Friday. --- "Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness." – Mark Twain Reply    Reply with quote    Contact bootlegga   horourke Premium account Joined: Sep 04 Points: 11274 Posts: 142 Posted: 2006-01-29 23:30:00    Yes I think Saturday is better --- Hugh Reply    Reply with quote    Contact horourke   rangutan Premium account Joined: Aug 04 Points: 34752 Posts: 1044 Posted: 2006-01-29 23:55:00    Yes Saturday 17:00 far better!

For this week, I will prefer Friday at 13.00 London time. But in the future I don't mind saturdays. Let me know!

How many chatters got together eventually? Feedback? When I logged in later at 22:00, still saw that Martin had logged ou of the chat at 19:30CET....

When's the next one? Have a beautiful day, everyone! Liz --- travel inspiration & information at whereisliz.com Reply    Reply with quote    Contact whereisliz
