    There hasn't been one for some weeks. The Moderators are all out weeding.

    But, there have been unofficial SNC's: see http://www.growfruitandveg.co.uk/gra...day_18136.html

      As the SNC had been a bit slow the Moderators decided to give it a summer holiday. As Two_Sheds says, we have been having unofficial Sunday chats. I think the slowness of the vine in the evenings now is what puts people off, not the Sunday chat per-se

          LOL, I can't say I have ever tried that but you could almost have made dinner in the time it took to load pages last night. I gave up and headed for an early night! I wonder if it is time for bigger servers or something to help ease the problem

            It's a while since I managed to participate in the Sunday Chat. Slowness is part of the reason I stopped. The other part is that my other half is home on Sunday evening and gearing up for the week ahead - he is not yet retired. It seems a bit unsociable not to spend the evening with him rather than you people, when I have all week in your inestimable company.

            I did noticed last week that there was a sort of 'Not the nine o'clock News' version but I hadn't realised there was an official halt on it.

              I've only dipped in on occasion, and always thought that calling it "chat" was a bit of a stretch.

              It's a bit like chat in a communal room in an old people's home.

              Mavis says: "here, Glynis did you see Bob this afternoon?"

              very long pause...


              Glynis says: "oh, Mavis, did I tell you I spoke to Gertrude this morning?"


              very long pause...

              and so on.

              Practise makes us a little better, it doesn't make us perfect.

              What would Vedder do?

                No Snadger, it's Sunday today - are you in work on a Sunday???

                Oh no, that's me being confused off on a work day (chest infection that's not budging)

                  It used to be a lot more busy Wayne. Used to be great craic when Beefy, Pigletwillie and Geordie all joined in with much flirting, laughter and fun, you had to be on the ball to follow it all. the flow has gone with the delay in loading pages and the general slowness, I have often gone to post and by the time I have done that, the chat has moved on a bit and that is why the 'stutter' seems to creep in.

                    That's what I mean - you'd reply to something, but by the time it had reloaded, a couple of conversations had already interspersed.

                    Would a "proper" chat page be possible? You know where everyone is visible and replies are instant? I think it's called java chat or something like that.

                      Or instant messenger, or is that too public?

                      Don't ask me I'm just confused by this techno stuff.
                      I'm only here cos I got on the wrong bus.

                          I'm afraid, as a newcomer at the time, I found the flirting - mainly instigated by a previous moderator - rather embarrassing and sometimes inappropriate. Maybe that's my age?

                            No, it annoyed me a bit as well, same comments over and over but other people enjoy so each to their own. I'll drop in every few months but I've usually got 1001 other things to do on a Sunday night then keep hitting refresh

                            Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

                            Which one are you and is it how you want to be?

                              Yep I felt the same.
