Ooer, what a strange evening for chatting.  It wasn't a bad turn out for a Wednesday evening, but very soon, strange things began to happen, and we were  reminded of the `good-old-days' of Yahpoo's mercilessejector seat! Being regularly thrown out into the cold this week were, MH, Alick, Akira, Madame, Capped Dan, Annette, and myself. 
<XXX> Graz, it's me again - Alick ! I keep getting disconnected
<Graz> oh bugger.
<MH> doh :-(

We did however manage to have a chat about a few bits and bobs, like the cost of cigarettes, Christopher Eccleston in the new production of, The Dark is Rising, and Dan's latest musical master piece. Yes, we've really been musically treated recently, and it doesn't show any sign of letting up.  You MUST check out http://myspace.com/triplenband and listen to "Life Goes On". Dan describes it as, `A ballad with no drums.  Very soft, and buttery...'  And I'm gonna stick my neck out and say that I think it's even better than `Stealing our World.'  Another moody bit of music, and Dan's lyrical articulation is somewhat eerie!  Very original, and very enjoyable. Congrats, Dan!

<Annette> so... did I miss much?
<Annette> is this working?
** Annette has left the chatroom **
<Graz> Oh ANNETTE!

Round about this point, the chat went pear shaped and I was thrown out, but when I finally got back on, Madame Vichot was there to chat with me a bit longer. Actually, she stuck with me until my eyelids could no longer bear the weight. We had a lovely chat, and she even invited me for a glass of juice down the Pink Parrot (A nice little corner in Sven's site.)  Unfortunately I was duly turned away at the door because of the strict lederhosen dress code. (According to that idiot off the, `Cult of…' documentary!) Thanks, Madame. :)

Greetings Freemen.
This week's chat was unfortunately interrupted by technical difficulties remenescent of the 
old Yahoo chats. I can only apologise. I have had a look at the site to see if there is 
anything I can do to ensure this doesn't happen again...there isn't. It seems that Java were 
having a particularly bad night.

For those of you who are new to our group, our chats happen every Wednesday at 20.00 
(BST) on our website at http://www.freewebs.com/theleagueoffreemen.

I have given much thought to the possiblility of merging with the German website for our 
international chats and have concluded that this would not be in everybody's interest.
We have not long transferred this activity to our own website, and it is accessable to ALL of 
our members worldwide.

Further to this, The League Of Freemen was once the ONLY and Official club for the 
Tripods, as licenced by Richard Bates the Producer. I hope I speak for many of us when I 
say that we SHOULD have our own place to come together. With our reputation, it looks 
pretty poor if we have to go to other sites to execute our own activities.

That does not mean that I cannot appreciate the offer as it was intended, and the logic 
behind it. It was well meant and has been gratefully received in that way. Thankyou Sven.

On the subject of chats, Graz is certainly coming into his own with his weekly reviews. His 
style is unique and I am most grateful for his time in putting it together.

Talking of new members, THREE Freemen have joined this week and I would like to 
personally welcome Beowulf_prime_2001, James_CobbUK, and RaymondHolmesMD. All 
three tell me that they have been dedicated to The Tripods for years. Together they have 
boosted our numbers to 326.

James mentioned that he would have liked to have been an actor is the series. In fact, in 
the 1980s, when we were battling alongside Richard Bates to persuade the BBC to allow 
the shooting of series 3, I suggested to Richard that, if we were successful, we use 
members of The League as background artistes (commonly but incorrectly known as 
"Extras"). Because of the legalities at the time regarding Union memberships, he simply 
stated, with tongue firmly set in his cheek,

"TECHNICALLY...no."

The way this was said however, I took it that he would have pushed the bounaries in order 
to fullfill this request.

Thankyou to Dakki for sharing his holiday photographs with us. The location and the 
sunshine look wonderful. (Are those YOUR legs, Daniel, or were you running them in for 
somebody else)?!!!  ;o)

Hopefully you are all enjoying the sunshine we are experiencing in Brighton at the 
moment. According to the weather forecast on my Apple mac we are going to experience 
ever increasing temeratures until Tuesday when it will rain...then as of Wednesday we are 
back to the sunshine and warmth.

Whatever the weather, have yourseves a wonderful weekend.

Best wishes,
ADRIAN

Yeah, I'd appreciate a date too [As I have to work Sat mornings] but 
did't want to get heavy as I prob live 2nd nearest to Brighton after 
Adrian himself [= Surrey, close to Friday St where Tripods ep1 was 
filmed ^^ ]+ I appreciate its hassles for Adrian + the Foriegn 
Freemen needing to know for flights/budjets etc

I could maybe swing a Sat off work short notice, but the more notice 
the better really ^^ or worse comes to the worst go in work early Sat 
and catch a early a train to Brighton as I can

I'm a bit ashamed to say I've never camped in my life... I'd prob 
bottle it and find a cheap hotel or something

Bit ashamed to say I kinda bottled out of the last meeting too 
because it was a lot more travel hassle for me than going to Brighton 
+ I was a bit afraid/paranoid I'd be all Gushy/Fanboy/Nerd and 
embaress myself/everyone with ultra geekyness [You know, quoting 
episodes at length, stuff like that]

Kuma, don’t be ashamed of bottling it, lol, I went camping once and hated it
and never intend to go camping again.  I don’t know if I will be down for
the whole weekend or not, but I will do the Saturday, it is just I don’t
know if my whole family will want to come down, as they tolerate my
Tripodyness.  If the worst comes to the worst, my daughter and I will come
down by train.

 

Thank you for the date Adrian, I am sorry you felt under pressure to do so,
if there is anything I can do to help….
