    I'm wondering what, if anything, I will be trading for this wondrous thing.

    I don't think it's any worse than using Google, tbh.

    Well I joined. My computer didn't burst into flames and I enjoyed a meeting wit h the cryptic crossword group. Science group on Monday.

  • Zoom isn't good for singing groups, IMO.  There's too much delay to sing together with the other participants - we have to mute our computers and sing along to a "backing track", not quite the thing for a classical group...   :|

    Well I'm no expert as you can tell but the absolute basics are pretty easy to understand..
    It does seem a bit early for carols.
    Aren't there some uplifting Halloween ditties you can sing? There might even be a virtual cauldron.🎃 @pansyface

  • Our Gardening Club has successfully done both committee and monthly meetings. It was funny when people spoke to their partners not realising it was loud enough for everyone else to hear!

    I'll have a look in a minute, but I can see how you might feel like a wally singing on your own but that's the only way I'd have the guts to do it. I used to mime when we sang at school.
    @pansyface.
    Give it a go. Ask the OH to join you even if he has to mime.😖
    If you really hate it, you can have a diplomatic dodgy internet connection.

    Is it only the blokes who need a pint of lubricant?

    I remember being in a crowded pub in the days when smoking was allowed. I was holding a full glass in my hand when someone accidentally touched the back of my hand with a lighted cigarette. I instinctively pulled my hand away and threw a half of lager in my face. 
    Not one of the more obvious dangers of smoking😏
