Thanks, I was looking at various maps via a DDG search and none of them were all that clear on what the various time zones were called, at least with my eyesight. I'll make a note of that site.

I'd suggest adding what time it will be in various other regions too, or basing it on GMT/UCT minus whatever.

For example, IF I'm correct EST is GMT-5 but I may be wrong and others may also not know (or forget about that bit due to distractions, just remembering the stated time) and miss the opportunity.

Sorry I'm not familiar with non US time zones.

UTC (Universal Time Coordinate) is worldwide standard time, used practically everything needing time coordination beyond regions. Practically it is equal to GMT (Greenwich Mean Time), there are just minor formal differences. Both have 0:00 at 0° longitude (UTC is formally defined at the 0°, GMT at Royal Observatory in Greenwich, London, but Greenwich is laying at 0° longitude).


Some say it belongs to "good technical manners" to know the offset of your local time from the UTC... :-D
But don't take the last sentence too seriously, it was meant as a tease for fun...

I actually meant to -tripe  type "UTC" .. my brain to finger co-ordination is terrible! 

N.B. The term tripewriter comes from a 1980s advert for the new-fangled PCs. Wasn't impressed seeing all those lovely old typewriters being chucked out of office windows into a skip for the advert. I actually learned keyboard skills using (and in a room full of) these. Pity I got slack, doubt I'd still pass the EMFEC exam, let alone RSA, these days.

Don't worry, welcome in club, you are not alone. And it is going to become only worse... 

Shall the next attempt be this Saturday around noon EST?

Sure!

I'll try my best to be there by then.

I'm always here

Waiting to give out a slap!

I see you're asking again, didn't I tell you to behave..? 

Ok, if you insist...

Owww! I keep saying I'm not outright asking for them, i make said witty comments! Besides they are getting less painful, guess I'm becoming immune with some thick skin (and a skull! )

Rommie always takes things literally... 
We'll both be online then, so let's hope we do it.
