    Are you the same time zone as Athens & Cairo? That time zone would be 6:00 PM August 1st - a Sunday.

    Sorry Shades, really wish you could make it, but I understand responsibilities. And I for one would not like to be, even partially, responsible for getting you in trouble with the big guy.

    We're going to try and have the Chat's the first Sunday of every month. The times may vary depending on guests/circumstances.

    Dennis,

    I'm not sure what your time is (but I'm pretty sure you're NOT on the same time as Athens and Cairo). The chat will be at 4.00 pm UK time (= 3.00 pm GMT). My time now as I post this is about 11:25 pm. If you compare that to whatever (local) time the post shows as you should be able to work it out. My GUESS is that you're an hour ahead of the UK so the chat will be at 5.00 pm for you.
    Enjoy,
    Tony

    Talking Question

    I figured it up and I just want to make sure I figured it up right. My time zone is Central Standard Time in the USA and it starts for me @ 9AM right?

    And I plan on being there but if its like the last one I will probably forget about it till a week after it is already happened. LOL. And for everyone that don't think I care, I have a loss of my short term memory is why I hope I won't forget. And if I don't forget, I'll bring some virtuals cookies for every1.

    Hey Dax,

    I'll email ya the day before.

    As for the time, it's at 8:00 am Pacific Standard Time. If I'm not mistaken you're 2 hours ahead of us, so it'd be 10:00 am Central. And it's 11:00 am Eastern Standard Time. Remember, we're in daylight savings time, so I'm only GMT -7 right now.

    EST = GMT - 4; CST = GMT - 5; PST = GMT - 7.

    After daylight savings you will be - 6.

    Anybody who would like to request a transcript of this (or any) chat can pm or email me (can be found in my public profile).

    Take care!!

    lol,

    All that boxing at the weekend tired me out and I forgot about this one too. Having to stay up until four/five in the morning damn near wrecked the rest of the weekend.

    Any transcripts? Is there plans to keep transcripts of the chats?
