The UK FF Chat Thread

Good stuff Andy. Welcome back Matt.

 

Thanks, Ramesh! I'm not back for good though, not yet...

I don't know how to get it fixed, Mark and the bastards at Comet won't come and do it for me. I'm seriously thinking of writing to Watchdog or something. I paid £400 for a guarantee which should cover them coming out and sorting it.

As for the chats, even if I did have internet access at home, like Andy, I'd be revising. But from June until Ocotber I'll be twiddling me thumbs with nothing to do so I'll be here a lot (that is if I can get my computer sorted out) unless I get a job...

 

Oh man that's ridiculous, hope you get it sorted out soon.

 

Bringing this back up, do we still have chats at all?

 

No, we don't CA Sadly, I think everyone is either too busy or we're just not on-line at the same time.

I am hoping when I get the new webspace for my site and I am up and running, that I will be hosting a chat room there. If anyone wants to organise a chat in the meantime, that would be great as they were always such good fun

 

I'd love to join you guys too but I haven't had much time of late cos of my new job.

Here's one I found in my archaeological travels. How's about getting together for UK FF chat session, say Sunday evening?

 

Ram, was there supposed to be a URL or link there or something?

Getting the chats back together and up and running would be a great idea. I am free Sunday - sounds good

 

Sounds good Mark and no I didn't mention the URL. Last I remember our official site was:

UK FF Chat

I've just checked it now and it appears to still work. For those of you concerned, please note that is NOT the SW signature site that we were banned from.

So how about 8:00pm tomorrow (Sunday) night?

 

I'll see if we can make it tomorrow, should be able to as I have no money to go anywhere

 

I'll try and manage, but I might be going out

 

Ram,

Don't want to be difficult but are you sure that we have permission to use that site? Its not a Star Wars one - looks kinda strange to me.

Would it not be a better idea to do it over MSN as we all have access to that or Yahoo Messenger?

Just a thought.

 

Didn't I make a new chatroom and post the link here after the thing with getting kicked off that other chatroom?

 

Due to Compaq's firewalls, the only chat thing I've found to work so far is AIM. A general chat room might be better for me. But I'd be there if I can...

 

So what chat are we gonna use then?

 

Yeah, you did find us somewhere else CA. Can't remember the address now but we need to get this sorted!

Is there a general chat room we can use that anybody can recommend?

 

What's wrong with the chat site I suggested? This is what we used immediately after we were banned from the old SW one. Its similar to the old one in that its Java driven, meaning its fast, but its an open (to the public) chat room. If you read the info at the web site, it openly welcomes people to enter the chat room and chat!

MSN is good but we cant all chat together at the same time can we?

 

Depends on how many are gonna join I guess.... if everyone has MSN it will work but it will only allow 5 people in at one time.

But your right Ram about that chat, I'll try to be there at 8pm if everyone else agrees with the chat

 

Yay, nice one Jeannette.

I spoke briefly with Matt via MSN yesterday and he'll try to come for the chat this evening too.

 

So where it is going to be? I will hopefully be there if my network allows me to join it

 

Click here to enter the chat site.

I'm logged on now. Pop in and say hi.

Oh that reminds me, I need to set the video for 'SPACE' with Sam Neil on BBC1 at half eight.

 

Update:

Andy, Scott, Ben and I are there now!

Edit: Cass has now joined us too.

 

Damn, as usual the Compaq firewall is stopping me from joining... ah well guess I will see you tomorrow on here instead...
