Subject: RE: Is there ever a UK time HearMe? From: Bagpuss Date: 05 Jul 00 - 03:49 PM I would love to join in with a UK HearMe - and I have totally free access now. Unfortunately my hubby works in the same room as the computer in the evening, so during the day would be better for me at the moment (I'm off work sick). Must buy myself a mic for the computer really soon!!!! Bagpuss |
Subject: RE: Is there ever a UK time HearMe? From: Den Date: 05 Jul 00 - 03:07 PM I've found that its pretty informal and you can always start a hearme thread and see if anyone on line at the time would like to join in whatever the time. Den |
Subject: RE: Is there ever a UK time HearMe? From: katlaughing Date: 05 Jul 00 - 02:52 PM Yeah, Kevin!! We would love to hearYOU and it is really easy. Your songs have already been sung in there!! So, c'mon in...the water is fine. Since I work at home, I could probably join in whenever, too. I have a great little device which Alison sent me by email which is a very quick and easy way to check other's time zones. If anyone would like it emailed to them, please let me know at katkensho@hotmail.com. Looking forward to hearing more of ya'll. kat |

Subject: RE: Is there ever a UK time HearMe? From: Ed Pellow Date: 05 Jul 00 - 02:41 PM Should we not just set a time, and see what happens? Most evenings from 8pm - 10pm (BST) would suit me, as would saturday afternoon. If other people can post their preferences, maybe we could come to a consensus as to a good time (sorry - forgot that we don't get consensi in mudcat...) Anyway, you know what I mean. Lets agree a time and get started. Ed |
Subject: RE: Is there ever a UK time HearMe? From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 05 Jul 00 - 02:30 PM Remember Mbo, it's no good giving a time without a time zone, when you're in the global village.
I think it's partly a reflection of the type of Internet connection people have - a lot of peoiple are still paying for their phone access on a cost per minute basis, and that means off-line browsing is how they do it.
But it's also probably to do with other things, not feeling really at home and comfortable with these magic boxes we use, and so forth. I have me doubts if I'll get into these HearMe's in too much of a hurry.
But we'll see. |

Subject: RE: Is there ever a UK time HearMe? From: Jon Freeman Date: 05 Jul 00 - 01:23 PM McGrath, I the langauge problem is a factor in some of the contries you have mentioned but I know we do have English speaking members in at least some of these countries. This makes it even more mysterious to me. Can you offer any explaination as to why so little happens in Hearme during the hours that one would think were best suited to residents living in these time zones? Jon |
Subject: RE: Is there ever a UK time HearMe? From: MMario Date: 05 Jul 00 - 01:20 PM wow! That has GOT to include enough mudcatters for a great session! |
Subject: RE: Is there ever a UK time HearMe? From: Mbo Date: 05 Jul 00 - 01:20 PM Hey, I'm at home in the mornings, from 8am to almost 1pm, then from 1:15 to 1am on most days. If you ever want to start something up that's good for the UK folks, I'll be glad to drop in! --Mbo |
Subject: RE: Is there ever a UK time HearMe? From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 05 Jul 00 - 01:10 PM The time zone used in the British/Irish Isles is shared with or close to a fair bynch of other countries, so there's no rerason to think of this in parochiaol terms:
Here is a list of countries that have much the same time:
In the same time zone:

Subject: RE: Is there ever a UK time HearMe? From: Jon Freeman Date: 05 Jul 00 - 12:51 PM Hi Tarcey, Aine is in the process of taking Hearme over from me but this is basically how it has been wroking. The Sunday night session which tends to start around 12:30am for us established itself early on and I guess can be considered a "fixed" event. Other than that, people have usually just announced their presence in the room in a Mudcat thread and others have dropped in. There has never been any reason why a Hearme session should not be started at any time of day but for some reason, perhaps because many UK people are still on metered access, nothing much has happened during what would be reasonable hours for most of us over here. Oddly enough Alison (from Australia) did try to start one up at I think around 3:00pm our time on a Saturday afternoon to try to get some of the UK people in. I was one of I think 2 UK people that attended although a few Americans joined in... Jon |
