    Just about half the year gone.

    Life is hurtling past.

    The only consolation is that another opportunity to discuss wisely and expertly all the world's problems will present itself again on Thursday night.

    Invitations dreckly; I have an important meeting today. With some trout.

    I'll try not to die on screen this time.

    As the delirium dies down following England's magnificent draw against the might of Slovenia, I have managed to recover enough composure to send out the invitations.
    I had one or two bouncebacks - inbox full- so if you were expecting one that didn't arrive, just use the last one, or drop me a PM. This latter also applies to anyone wishing to see for the first time what goes on in this clandestine corner of TZ.

    Tonight you're mine completely
    You give your love so sweetly
    Tonight the light of love is in your eyes
    But will you love me tomorrow?

    I have a work meeting tonight but I'd be interested in attending a future event. Hope all goes well.

    Don't worry guys - what happens on the vGtG stays on the vGtG.
    They will hear nothing from me.

    One of the items not reported on from Keir Starmer's Rose Garden speech today was that in two days (Thursday 29th August) there will be another in the long line of TZ vGtGs.*

    Invitations will be sent directly.

    * One reason for it not being reported could be that he didn't say it; I made it up.

    The End is Nigh

    As the last Thursday of the month hurtles towards us, I share the news that the onfield decision is that we will not be continuing this most affable monthly meet.
    Back in the dark days of lockdown, it was a welcome escape from the confines of one's own head; nowadays, with matters social getting back to whatever one's normal is, the need for online nonsense has receded.
    The influencing factor is numbers attending. We now have but a few who regularly log in. Should the rest of TZ wake up to the delights that they have missed out on, and a resurgence takes place, we can always revisit this decision.
    As the last scheduled vGtG would have been on 26th December we are assuming that Boxing Day is not the best time for such an auspicious send-off, so the December 2024 - and as far as we know last ever - vGtG is to be held on 19th December. It would be nice if some of the attendees from times gone by could pop in for one last hurrah.

    Invitations will be sent for the September one, i.e. tomorrow, directly. If anyone not on ze list would like to log on, PM me and I will include you in the invites.

    Virtual TZ GTG. . .

    I cannot make this one.
    Sorry chaps.

    I’ve been tasked with putting some miles on the TakeTime watch.

    So I’ve brought it to Turkey for a bit of sunshine…



    Have a good one.

    Is this to attract or repel? Thinking about it, Janet hasn't pitched up for a while, maybe, just maybe, this will draw our favourite watch monkey out of hiding....

    I will also try harder this month to attend, no chance of any Rocky Horror here though....
