It must be feasible, and possibly at a time to suit everyone around the world, assuming some people don't mind a 4am pint. Or perhaps we can just sort out a Euro-American function as a start.
Of course I will hint at attending but ultimately fail.
Anyone up for a virtual jolly-up?

Re: Anyone up for a virtual jolly-up?
Anyway maybe we can revive this idea.
Perhaps we could try for an international jolly up on Zoom.
We could pick a weekend - Saturday maybe? And pick say 8pm UK time, which would be 3pm on the US east coast and I think 2pm in Texas - not too early for a beer? - and of course 9pm in western Europe. I realise it may be tricky for our far east.
There would probably have to be some structure, because we can't have side conversations - maybe a quiz, or we could all give a brief update on life and recommend one song or album. Or something.
Anyway it may be fun.

You could easily have side conversations. I do Zoom meetings for hours Monday through Friday. You can have breakout sessions, or use the chat function.

i'd recommend Discord over Zoom. You can set upa music bot to play whatever tunes you want, for one thing. Plus we can all share screens at the same time (if we wanted to).
Mostly dancing sir,...

Re: Anyone up for a virtual jolly-up?
just for the record, i am not at all against this idea.
the thing: cheifwhat or somebody else is gonna hafta get me on the phone for an hour and explain, step by step, how i manage to do this... in ways a pre-schooler would understand. let's be clear. i am a tech moron.
i still have a bandaid over my lil camera-eye thingie on my laptop, cuz reap (a head poobah for IT security for an international software company) was fucquin paranoid about all of it.
yeah.
