Geo, you'd probably enjoy Friday night chats. I really enjoy them. The problem is, usually I'm snoozing on the couch when chat starts. I've got to set an alarm or something.
Here are a couple of links to the chat room (compliments of John F), which usually starts at 9PM:
1.(if you already have mIRC installed):-
http://lnk.in/37sd
2.If not this link brings up a page that should load a Java applet:-

By the way, you don't have to wait until Friday night. If you want to have a chat on another day, announce it here, preferably early in the afternoon, to give everyone a chance to see it.
