Doesn't time fly!
It's this coming Thursday chaps.
We are reverting to sending invitations as per the Days of Kirk, which will happen some time today disco volante.
Any curious GtG virgins PM me for details; it's a virtual get-together during which we talk about watches.
Occasionally.
Don't forget the beer, see you there...Originally Posted by unclealec
The excitement mounts.....
Oh, I think I might be able to make this one …

Cans are in the fridge. Scorcher today 25C.

I believe you've gone native.
In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.
Brace yourself guys - this coming Thursday we are due to discuss all that is good, bad, and horologically interesting on the one and only TZ-crowdfunded Zoom Meeting.
Invitations will be sent out directly/dreckly; any members wishing to partake or even just watch (sorry) PM me for relevant info.
Sorry. On holiday so can’t make Thurs call. Have a good one.
“ Ford... you're turning into a penguin. Stop it.” HHGTTG
Have a good holiday Martyn. As you won’t be there to discuss your new watch, I will hold the fort by discussing mine.😀
Until tonight, until tonight
I just might make it
Until tonight, until tonight
I'll just keep holding on
hopefully I can pop in for 1 or 2 tonight ...

Will we have to guess your time zone, or will we recognise the home office surroundings?
Might be a late one for me chaps but will see what happens and will jump on if possible.
When you look long into an abyss, the abyss looks long into you.........
I’m back home for this one

The last Thursday of the month approacheth.
Invitations/reminders will be going out directly.
Tonight's the night.
Invitations have been sent.
Anyone wishing to join in PM for log-on details.
Don't worry if you can't make it, I will take my colouring-in book to while away the lonely solitary hours.
Hi uncle Alec. I will be joining a bit late as we have a prior dinner engagement with a suckling pig. Should join about 9:00pm or earlier depending on things.
“ Ford... you're turning into a penguin. Stop it.” HHGTTG
I`ll be along later, probably 9:30.
I can pop in for 1 or 2
z
I will be able to join from about 8:30pm.
Note to self keep last Thursday of month free
The numbers dwindle. Is anyone in the hundreds of TZ members not interested in meeting in the virtual world? How many would like to meet in the physical world for a regional gtg?

The last Thursday of the month has yet again hurtled towards us and is in two days' time.
Invitations will be sent as soon as funeral attendance allows; anyone fancying practical lessons in talking nonsensical gabble to a new level, message me for joining details.

Brace yourselves, guys.
Thic coming Thursday is, er, coming.
Hopefully.
Invites will be sent dreckly.
Thanks Alec. This meet-up is open to all TZ posters - come and join in the fun.
Thursday 31 August theme:
Attire: Beach wear and/or beach towels.
Watch specifics: moon phase complications
Drinks: Sex on the Beach or xxxxx on the rocks

Was looking forward to seeing you all but a sudden change of plans means I won't be able to make it.
For those of you for whom Tuesday last is too far back to remember, another mention that tonight's the August night.
Invitations/joining instructions have been sent via PM; should anyone be so curious as to want to join us as newcomers (for horological or anthropological reasons) send me a PM.
I am at home for this one, so should be able to join from the start.
Bought another watch…
Afternoon guys terrible timing previous meets, away the past two & currently in Majorca
You were mentioned in your absence.
Is there a complication that could predict TZUK Virtual Get-togethers? If so, please let me know when we meet (virtually) again this coming Thursday.
There may be some info about an actual in-the-flesh GtG in Manchester city centre.
Invitations will be sent directly; anyone wanting to join please PM me for access details. It's all free and based (loosely) on chatting informally about watches, although we did once get side-tracked onto another subject. 8pm until usually 10-30/11pm. Our legendary all-nighters have gone the way of Wigan Casino.
I’ll be on a late flight back to uk so might not make this one.
Apols.

Invitations now sent; PM me if yours didn't arrive and you wanted it to.
Two-day warning; make sure you have Prozak on hand, or your preferred calming agent. We wouldn't want your enjoyment of Thursday's TZUK Zoom GtG to be spoilt by hyperbolic paroxysms caused by the adrenalin rushes that follow the torrents of wisdom, wit, and knowledge that flow from the assembled cognoscenti.
Invitations will be sent out directly; anyone wanting to join our happy throng PM me for details.
I should be able to make this one, my regular Thursday evening social event is cancelled this week, drinking buddy prefers fishing on the East Coast in the hope of catching a few cod to drinking with me, so I`ll be available.
I’m working GMT-5 (with appropriate wrist wear obvs. ) so won’t make this one.
have a good one !

You're a globetrotting lot, I'll give you that.
Invitations now sent; if you want to join in, PM me.
Time to talk about crazy Omega prices and the start of WW3?
“ Ford... you're turning into a penguin. Stop it.” HHGTTG
I am unavailable for the last Thursday this month (30th).
So - do we bring it forward one week (23rd)?
Or do we give it a miss this month?
What does the team think?
Get yourself Cod fishing, you might enjoy it

I’ll be on vacation so can we skip and go for December 28th - see if Santa brought any shiny new baubles???
“ Ford... you're turning into a penguin. Stop it.” HHGTTG
I can not make this Thursday either, so another vote for a Christmas Special!
3-0 for skipping November so far.
Any other views?
For once I could make either of those Thursdays so I'll be the contrarian to make it 3-1.
Skip to December.
With any luck I will be drunk and incapable by 8pm on Thursday 30th, so best not go near a PC.
Before any other truculents like Wimm crop up to even the scores, I am declaring that by consensus the November Zoom GtG has been cancelled.
We will regroup, bigger and better, on December 28th.
