Be Excellent To Each Other

We won’t make it this evening unfortunately. I’m not having the best of days and although socialising with you crazy lot would probably do me the world of good, I don’t think I have the capacity for it tonight :/

Have a good one!

No probs. Best wishes.

If I was doing a quiz round, where the answers were songs with Thomas the Tank Engine Characters in (say), would you be happy on the answer screen, with just the name of the song (and perhaps the lyric with the character in), or would you want to hear the song with the Thomas the Tank Engine Character being sung?

(I am not doing such a quiz round, but I am now tempted to do one...)

It's better, I think, to hear a bit of the song. Unless it makes it seem incredibly easy (and it probably won't), it really brings it to life. Either way, if you don't know the song you're a bit stuffed, but at least when you hear it, you can't just fail to recognise it because you know the song but not the title.

Not around tonight but there's a room setup if you fancy it.

Sorry, not going to make this tonight, work is a bit all over the place and consequently so am I.

As far as I can tell Robert Smith does not have a brother in The Cure, so I don't know what I was thinking of last night, but that other guy really looked him!

He did! And even more like the more recent picture of Robert Smith I just saw.

Last night's:

Robert Smith is great, as this tweet will tell you!

Brilliant.

One of the replies has this

That's the one - look at how much like Not-Robert-Smith he has become!

That look of contempt on his face when he changes it up a gear -- fucking delicious.

Hi everyone,

I'm not around tonight due to hilarious misunderstandings but I've set up a space anyway for those who want it. Please stack the chairs and turn the lights out when you're done.

Should be back next week.

As I've said before, I'm happy to keep these going for as long as people want them. It's become quite a fixed point in my diary now.

We will try to be there, it’ll be 3pm New York time so depends what we’re up to!

It's Tuesday, I've nothing on, and last night Team GB got relegated from the top flight of world ice hockey, so let's have another Zoom.

Link in the usual place.

Start your long weekend off in style with the regular BeeX Zoom. From 8.

Jem and I probably won't be there tonight -- neither of us have had a particularly good time of things over the past few days and we're all over the shop a bit, so we're just gonna try and regroup a bit. Have a good one though, guys!

Sorry to hear that. Best wishes.

Sending hugs.

It's Tuesday, it's bin day, it's BeeX Zoom day! Hooray!

Is someone setting up the quiz link for later in Kern's absence?

I guess not?

Oh dear.

I will save my excellent Rolling Stones round for next time.

/starts revising/

As an alternative to the quiz I watched the football.

Double disappointment

Yeah, turns out that we didn't have any access to a video-conferencing platform that wouldn't kick us off after 30-40 minutes.

So it kicked you off 10 minutes before the meeting started!!!!

Sounds completely useless.

Hi everyone,

To make up for last week, let's do it at 8 tonight.

Details in the usual place

I don't think we're going to make this tonight, I've had some weird stuff going on with my jaw for a few days that's led to some less than ideal nights sleep, so we could do with an early night.

Sorry to read that, dude. If it turns out you need your jaw rewiring, I wouldn't attempt it yourself

Days are getting shorter and the nights are drawing in, so why not join our weekly Zoom thing at 8pm tonight?

I'm doubtful for this Tuesday, it's my eldest's birthday, so will probably be doing something with him.

Morning everyone,

I've set up a space for 8 tonight as usual. See you all later.

It's another hot day so it's safer to stay inside and drink. Zoom from 8 tonight.

Morning everyone,

I've set up a room for 8 as usual.

Afraid I might not be on - depends how wilted I'm feeling by the evening.

Have fun.

We'll be on, but probably naked.

FeEx.

*checks schedule*

Genuinely not sure if it's me or Jem that you're more interested in seeing there

Is it not just all in?

Could be just the tip.

*checks calendar*

Just realised that the Euros semi final is on at the same time as this, so I'll probably end up missing this.

Sorry guys

Is everyone else watching it tonight?

I've set up a space from 8 but will understand if people are watching the football instead.
