The whole point of the Thursday Snug bar was that it would be opened early - i.e., 9.00pm GMT, so that those of us Brits/Europeans who had jobs to go to the next day, didn't feel obliged to stay up till all hours of the morning just to hear music. Anyone is welcome to take over the admin and keep the room open after we've all turned into pumpkins an hour early.

The major point is, that at the moment, it is apparently the ONLY regular Mudcat event happening on Paltalk, where not so long ago, there would be three or four a week.

If I had nothing else to do, I'd be happy to sit here till 3.00am our time and listen to people sing every night, but it just can't be done if I want to maintain any home life or do my work properly.

Rory, the password is nearly always published in the threads when the room is opened, but a new query thread will always get you a reply.

Norton, I'm sorry I missed you, but I have a long way to drive today, after a 5.30am shopping start already, so needed to get to bed.

Please don't think we are trying to keep the snug as a private thing, maybe we should experiment with having it as an open room next week.....
