ATARI OWNER VIDEO LINK - NEW YEAR 2021

Hi Graham, nice to know you've had the jab. The new head bud will start to show shortly LOL.

That's good news for you Paul. Why people have to make others lives a misery is beyond comprehension. Yes your sister will have been offered it because of her Diabetes

Great news for you Andy, one thing less to worry about.

And I've booked my second jab up at the Lincolnshire Show ground on the 20th of April.

 

Yes, one by one, we are getting sorted.

You never know, fellas, one day we might even be let loose back into the big wide world ... but I have a feeling that some will remain recluses fearing the great unknown and just hunker down and stay tight where they think's safest.

Nothing like this has happened before and it's really really affected folks.

 

Good to hear Andy, mother in law is awaiting her second one, I can have my free Oyster travel in June but no jab

Hopefully there won't be much of a queue for you Andy, when I took the MIL the queue was HUGE..



The actual length of the queue was about 7 x what you see there and as you can see, social distancing just didn't happen, apparently like sardines inside..

 

Aye, I bet it's going to be similar at Hull City Hall, Paul.

I do remember you telling us about this set-up you went through.

It's a mass vaccination centre dealing with 1000 folks a day and my mam's jab is anytime between 2-3pm.

The trickiest part is going to be looking after her hubby - me step dad - who is now suffering from dementia as well as losing his vision and mobility and is constantly in a state of unease and suffers hallucinations (there are people coming out of the wall and where is the real Sheila - this Sheila is an imposter...) Me mam's scared he will try and make a bolt from the car whilst we wait for her so it's gonna be an interesting trip tomorrow, that's for sure.

Hang on to yer hats - there are bumps ahead on this journey through life we are on.

We've certainly all got our problems, fellas!

 

Sad to hear Andy, Bob believed his mother was living with him and that there were children in his flat, dementia is such a bloody horrible thing but that with those other things is just terrible. I hope it goes without incident...

 

As per usual nothing runs smooth on Planet Irvine, got to go shopping AGAIN for both in laws and Serena and drop stuff over to both..

BUT even if I have to pull over on the road I'll make an appearance somewhere around 3pm even if its only a short one (if the link goes up)

All hell breaking loose about this will situation and poor Serena has zero Wifi at the uni halls and like me her phone reception indoors is crap. How she will do online work escapes me...

My username Mclane which should have been McClane as in the Diehard character (guess who made a mistake), in the film Bruce Willis uses the phrase "in the wrong place at the wrong time", seems to sum my existence up

Will see you guys around 3pm wherever I am at that point, hopefully back home but as long as I get reception I'll say a tired hello.

 

Hi Guys
I see the parking wasn't socially distanced either how the middle car is going to move I've no idea, I'm guessing the gray maybe Peugeot to blame as it'd also on the Zig Zags of the crossing ..
The link for 3PM https://meet.google.com/bye-ixgp-eka

hope to see some of you there..

 

Hi Guys
I was on a little earlier that 3PM, Andy joined bang on time and a short while later joined by both Paul & Cindy, of all things from their car ! Nice one Paul and glad to see you. Hope we see you again soon, other than that Vulcan Man- Andy and I kept ourselves entertained for a few hours until just after 5:15PM
Look forward to next time

 

Yes nice to have a chat and will be on the next chat one way or another, odd doing it from the car outside the uni but that's how my life goes, unexpected..

Next time I'll have a computer shirt on

Sorry I had to go but after an hour my phone was close to dying so wanted a bit of juice incase I got a call..

So thanks for the natter Andrew and Graham..Cindy birthday 2mozz, who says I don't show a lady a good time, a chat in a car

 

Hi all, great to talk to Paul, Cindy and Graham. Thanks for hosting this Graham.

I'm hoping next time we can get a few more of the group into the chat, as it's a great way to see what people are doing, Atari wise, with their enforced staycations. Always interesting to see what Graham is up to. Costa del Computer room is certainly getting a lot of use in my home.

Hopefully will see you all next week end.

Regards

 

Sorry I couldn't attend today, hopefully next time

Way to go Paul, from the car shows dedication. Also, Cindy is a keeper if she lets you spend Valentines afternoon like that

 

Hi Allan, just a usual day for me, I never know what is going to happen, always lastminute.com with our lot. Serena we have to be careful with as her anorexia left her with body problems where weight lost from them is an issue. As I type she's in hospital having another suite of tests re her abdomen. Her problem is that she gets uncontrolled gastric reflux from time to time.

Not a huge issue but needs to be watched because certain foods trigger it.

 

All tests were ok, referred back to GP which is good as there's nothing malicious but the situation continues with some annoying side effects..

 

Is anyone intrested in a natter sometime over the weekend?
If so post on here any preferances.
Had a naff week so little done this end, so me nice to unwind a little

 

Famous last words, I should be free on the weekend, Sunday best, same as last time?

 

I don't know if I can make it - good news: dad transferred to orthopaedics after two weeks in intensive care - the bad news is that you CANNOT visit him, under any circumstances. Because of the virus they won't let anyone in - only news on the phone once a day with the doctor in charge. Here in Rome I got a notebook and a makeshift Internet connection from my parent's neighbors, they were so kind to let me access their router. A few Mbps so I don't think it will work for a videocall. See you next time. Have a nice w/e.

 

Hi David
That's got to be good news about Dad, although it sucks not being able to see him, or get upto date information when you want to, although I guess safer for both of you with the current world wide crisis.
I'm sure I speak for us all in wishing him a speedy and safe recovery.

In regard the 'video' chat, if you fancy joining in your welcome to just use voice as Allen has done in the past.
Paul even managed to join in from his car last week from his mobile. including video.
No pressure but your'd be welcome video or not.

 

At the moment 3PM UK time Sunday 21st.

Hi Graham,

sounds good to me.

Regards

Andy

 

I so do not want to be in the car this time.....Being in the car equates to me doing shopping which has left my back in a bad way as of late..

I just want to be sat in this chair but it will still be on the mobile as Serena nicked my MS camera for Uni...

I'll have a look for a cheap camera at some point..Bob had 2 in his kit that I got but they stank of pee so got booted out..

How does a camera stink of piss?????????

I hate to think what sorts of chats he was having!

Edit: I'll stick with my mobile, bloody price of a half decent is silly and I won't buy one of those cheap Chinese ones as they are awful..Eventually I'll get my MS one Serena has back

 

Be good to see you again Paul, as we can hopefully see your C64 ? even if they don't do a sophia for them just yet
It's also time for Andy to show off his signal generator again, can we see it working ..

 

I'm out walking tomorrow but will log on if I'm back in time. Or if I'm still out and about I might join in live from my phone

 

You are welcome to see the C64 and the Ult++

Not stunningly interesting, just another loader system..(but expensive)

That and the AVG are my top tools. Excuse my bench as its a real mess, at home I'm a slob, at work it was all organised. I guess it because my way of unwinding from being behind a desk, make it messy, not at work

 

Sorry gents am on the phone and have been for 2hours trying to sort out my daughters wifi and computer...

 

Finally off phone but my head is throbbing, will take a tablet and see how I am..As always, never know whats going to hit..Sorry gents, and now next door (different neighbours) are slamming and screaming their heads off...Headache or what
