For a few months now, a few of us have been meeting up using a chatroom Metropol made available for the Eurovision Song Contest. We rarely linked to it publicly (and when we did, we used redirection pages which unfortunately made it difficult for some members to find us) because we felt as though we were squatting. Unfortunately, Pete decided to cut the chat room on Wednesday as he believed it was adversely affecting Metropol as a whole.

Anyway - I've created a chat room on an empty bit of hosting I have - if you'd like to join us, you're most welcome. We generally chat about what we're watching on Telly. Tonight that's likely to include Peter Simon, Millionaire Live and whatever Challenge have for us.



You need to sign up for an account on the phpBB installation, then once you've sorted your account just click "Chat" in the header.

It was, although the fact our server doesn't have the best latency due to being in LA doesn't help at times.

Anyhow good luck with the new chatroom

Many thanks, Pete. Why not move to a host in Britain (which doesn't fall over so easily)?

Money, and to be fair, aside from the minor problems over the last few months DH have always been very reliable, have incredible customer service and allow you a great deal of freedom on their servers.

I'd just like to mention that PS stands for Peter Simon - Wells thought of the name.

As you may have noticed, WillPS has waved his magic wand, and made two excellent ** signatures that update with the topic of the night. Hopefully you'll love them as much as I do.

A very special ** tonight. As the fair townsfolk of Rotherham decide on that all-unimportant protest vote, we chat about the possibility of a new minority party waving it's hands about as if a single by-election win is a notable victory.

Why not join us for the transition into 2013? G&T optional.

Happy New Year!

Thanks to everybody who stopped by last night, it was great fun!!

Thanks additionally to everybody who's chatted in 2012 - I'm happy to announce that I intend to move ** from experimental to permanent status, and will be giving the place a more permanent feel when I can in 2013.

Special thanks to the lovely Jon Wells and David Lees for really making the place happen, and to Joe for his delicious Crossroads-esque graphics.
