The Dink Network

Friday the 7th of November. I will be hosting a Dink Chat. Be there, or be square.

It will be at 10pm, GMT. It will be hardcore, you know the score.

you are funny

Thank you. I do try.

You try too hard.

No I don't. I always talk like that.

"Hey dude, where we going tonight? Yeah? That's Hardcore, you know the score! You got £300 to spend? That's proper pucker bo!"

your chat times make me sad. i'll still be in school when that occurs, and in band class at that.

1) You're not funny. (And neither am I)
2) How about the 8th?

I could change it to the 8th if more people would find it conveniant. So how about it guys?

EDIT : OK, the chat is now on the 8th, at 9pm GMT. See you all there (I hope).

Yep.

What is GMT? Is that another country?

GMT is Greenwich Mean Time, another name for UTC, Universial Coordinated Time. GMT 0 is in Greenwich, England and includes London, Dublin(Ireland), Edinburg(Scotland), Lisbon(Portugal), Reykjavik(Iceland), and Casablanca(Morocco). To use it, (assuming you have a map with North America on the left) add another hour for each time zone to the right of London, or subtract an hour for each time zone to the left.

Thanks for helping out Merlin!

Oh yeah, and this is an OFFICIAL Dink chat. It would be nice if Redink could be bothered to put it up as an "Event", but he hasn't, so I'll just have to rely on everybody finding there way to the room without his guidance.

EDIT : Not a great turn out, but stil, it was nice to get a few Dinkers together at the dsme time. For those who missed it, here are a few choice quotes from the chat...

Merlin : "We could hack into his computer, place some child porn, then call the feds."

KAT : "Merlins getting kinky"

SABRE : "I nearly took someones face off with an 18 foot steel pole today."

Redink : "Gah, I thought I killed all the Sabre clones years ago!"
