Lets try to beat the record
Permalink  

yawnHow about we try to beat the record of the most members & guests online at one time.
Was 14 members and 6 guests at 7.25pm on 1st December 2009

How about we make a date and time suitable to a number of us to beat this record?

I suggest if it was done at 7.25pm we use that as a guideline for when it possibly suits most. Someone suggest a date and we have a go.
Just a little lighthearted fun- what do you all say? Cheers Dawn
ps any night suits me so go for it!biggrin

How about we form a steering committee to gauge the value of having a poll to get the suggested time??

We could then do an environmental impact study......get an OH&S brief, consult the relative government departments and unions and then have this record breaking attempt at..........

NSW and VIC 6:30pm 1830

SA & NT 6:00pm 1800

What??

You're not up for a late night snifter?

A jolly nightcap, you know?

Where's the "Flat top flyboys'" stamina?

All that get-up-and-go got up and gone, Eh? What?

I'll be out breaking the law at that time, I will be down the beach watching the fireworks with wife and friends and having a nice glass of red.  Probably get done by Mr. Plod for street (Beach) drinking.

It burns me up that we can no longer have a nice quiet glass of the good stuff without being harassed.

Mery Christmas and Happy New Year to all.

LOL Rolly...............naaah.......I was never a Flat top Cowboy.....

I was below decks mate. Ibbo is the one for that.

I have no problem with the late night snifter as long as it isn't during the week when I work day shifts. Up at 4am. Too early to be "Sniftering" too late.

All the stamina in the world on the weekends :)

I hope to be JRH......if not.......I want my money back. New Years eves always cost me plenty so I hope to be like the two musicians..........Brahms and List. Should be talking in shorthand and plaiting my feet. The ONLY way to see in the New Year.


And............If I'm not in bed by eleven......I'm going home!!

Dawn no wonder the Countrys in a mess.You have asked a sensible question and what happens,total confusion about times in various states.January 2. 2010 at 10.am.EST.is my suggestion.Now if that should clash with the feeding pattern of the Crossed Eye Emu's from Parramatta.Or any other political correct nonsense that may be thrust upon us I would say bugger it and let Her Ladyship The Honourable Web mistress be the adjudicator of time and date.Written in good faith and without predudice.Cheers.Ibbo.

There wasn't much of a response the first time this was suggested.
Maybe not too many folk scroll right down the GN Forum Main Page.

angered.gifQuite amazing how difficult it is to organise- isn't it? No wonder our politicians can't get it right.

What I should have done was, this.

NEW RECORD TO BE BROKEN
DATE: 9TH JANUARY (My birthday)
TIME: 7PM

If you can make it be online! Otherwise maybe next time!

come on don't just give up because everyone is confused- we are not that disorganised surely we can't do this!buggered.gif

My idea my time- you are either available or not! Meet you on line on 9th I'll be celebrating me & my twin sister's 62nd birthday.

NOW MARK IT ON YOUR CALENDAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOW-RIGHT NOW-DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!

You all come back now hear. Cheers Dawnclap.gif

7pm ....................whose time??

There is a three hour time difference across this country so could be reasonably important??

goodness look at that angry face bouncing around, I want no part of this, anyway I start work at seven pm, thats after I knock off from daytime work so someone will have to log in for me, if you cant log in for me try a branch, if they are still open! most branches close early over xmas!

how about a week from tuesday unless it falls on a wddnesday in which case we will move it to saturday, but if it's a leap year that will of course fall in as a monday if you cant meet on the monday maybe the following friday!

all this talk of meet has made me hungry, I wonder whats for dinner!

now as for time may I suggest somewhere within a 24 hour period so we may all set our watches to synchronise with our sundial which I forgot to wind this morning
