I've found that one of the most challenging parts of lockdown has been the wrangling over preferred video conference channel, which seems to accompany every new evening of virtual drinks. People become quite defensive, I've found.

I was a staunch hangouter but have been increasingly annoyed by lack of grid view, and the grid chrome extension needs a GSuite account to set up the Meet. Bah.

I have a big-boy Zoom account we could use.

You realise this means "in your pants", right?

This is obviously the correct answer

Is this what you use to chat with big-boys?

No, that one is called 'Poon'.

Good idea Kern. :luv:

Would be lovely to see your faces.

Totally down for the 'in your pants' dresscode also :DD

Should have the Beexbecue via Zoom, then it can be a Virtual Meat.

Though not that kind of meat. Or is it?

Vegetarians can use Quornhub.

Beexbecue was replaced by MeatUp in 2017, I think. Whenever it was, that's how long it predates your joke by

Mimi · **Joined:** 27th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 25155

What’s the difference?

Jem · **Posted:** Tue Apr 21, 2020 13:04

Well I laughed, anyway.

DavPaz · **Joined:** 27th Jun, 2008 **Posts:** 38212

Quornhub. Brilliant.

Sorry I got the name wrong. It was an obviously failed attempt at humour.

Heh, I suggested this to Joans a couple of weeks ago, I think it would be great!

Excellent. I might start referring to my vegan friends as Quornographers.

Goddess Jasmine · **Posted:** Tue Apr 21, 2020 13:20

Oh, Wednesday is now going to be Great British Sewing Bee and Thursdays at eight is clapping time.

It would probably annoy them as quorn contains egg albumen.

Quorn do loads of vegan products now. They’re the packs with the green banner on them: https://www.quorn.co.uk/products/vegan-food

No, fewl, I was saying that we renamed BeexBeeQueue to make the same joke you did.

That would have worked if you hadn't stopped me.

Warhead · Noob as of 6/8/10

I need trepanation night like a hole in the head.

Kern · **Posted:** Wed Apr 22, 2020 8:01

I'll keep the poll open until around 20:00 today.

Kern · **Posted:** Wed Apr 22, 2020 20:22

Ok, looks like Tuesday is the best time. Once I workout how to shut the poll I will - more details to follow but I'll aim to to be on from 20:00. Drop in as and when you can.

Kern · **Posted:** Sun Apr 26, 2020 10:29

Looking forward to this. I'll host it on Zoom and post joining instructions in the Members' Area around lunchtime on Tuesday. I'll be on from 20:00 but drop by when you can.

romanista · **Posted:** Sun Apr 26, 2020 22:53

TheVision · **Posted:** Sun Apr 26, 2020 23:09

Thanks for organising this Kern... Looking forward to it.

I reckon I could drop in on this from work, the staff on site tomorrow will, interpret "i'm on a zoom call" as "I'm doing some work" just about enough for me to be able to get away with it.
