    That was pleasant. Thank you, Fantasio, for moderating. I think we'll try again next month.
    Look forward to more reminders starting in, say... three weeks or so.
    Too many watches, not enough wrists.

    Yes it was nice to see everyone. Except @Tribe125, with his lame “football match” excuse.

    The football was dreadful, my team inept.

    Thanks Robert, even though ”moderating” was maybe a bit strong word in this context.

    But should we consider conversation ideas beforehand, instead of just improvising on the spot? Personally I wouldn’t mind avoiding covid topics altogether.

    Since this is not new technology and it goes back to the Beta Max in the 80's they make these thing, and have these services that allow you to watch things after they have aired. With the newer tech you can start for the beginning well after they have started. I checked and these things have made their way to the UK.

    You missed a good call.
    Cheers,

    Michael

    Tell everyone you saw it on IWL!

    The full misery (and occasional delight) of following a football team can only be achieved in real time. It would be impossible to time-shift it when a glance at your phone will tell you the score - and when commentary texts are arriving from friends and relatives.
