Steady Ian - this isn't 'first dates' hotel you know. eta - I'd managed to avoid the whole zoom thing until a few weeks ago when I qualified for an interactive testing session for the website/app testing platform I signed up for... it didn't go THAT well, I kept getting lost and losing the chat and when I tried the camera - well, lets just say my 4 g wasn't as good as I'd hoped... either that or the chap on the screen in front of me waa not the dorian grey i'd always imagined ! First dates on TB could be interesting. I only think you protest because I didnβt match you with Stabby? I may spend the morning mentally matching our dear readers. Old boys first...Roger and Nick? OLD BOYS ... OLD BOYS ! I'm MUCH younger than Telemachus I may have a little silver in my hair, but I like to think of it as prematurely greying Rog ETA I'm not sure I like the zoom idea ... bad enough being abused and called names in writing without the added excitement of receiving the barbs in person

Been doing zoom meetings for a while, got one at 11.30, Silver Circus. Chat, a bit of stretching, handheld skills, some brain-teasing games and exercises. I took part in a performance project over 15 weeks, bits of poetry, finding creative ways to interact on screen etc. Great fun.

Done one Zoom meeting, for my FSC Audit last year, spent all day with camera rotated 90 degrees, I don't like stuff like that, unless its a pretty lady on the other end, usually they charge for that though.

A glance at one long running thread on here could hopefully persuade everyone what a bad idea this could be Rog

I've been on here years and still can't upload photos. Being a technological dinosaur this Zoom gubbins, whatever it is, is several bridges too far.

I've done a couple of Zoom meetings with a group of friends & have to admit I didn't enjoy them much.They felt a bit 'forced' & I wasn't great with camera angles.π

I'm no good at that sort of stuff - complemented someone on their 'new' lovely hair the other day - got told they changed the colour 6 weeks ago, I see them briefly about every 2 or 3 days. Ooops!

Anyway there's still Skippy if you don't like Zoooom... The main thing to remember is that girls do not want a close-up of your willy. Ok most of them.

A glance at one long running thread on here could hopefully persuade everyone what a bad idea this could be Rog The person who started it can always mute or kick someone if need be. On a different note, if I remember correctly you can do it on their website without downloading it. The host sends a code to here and we all just use that code and job done. We get to have a chat and a beer 2020 style.
