Warren, yep, that's correct :)

Hope that meets with everyone's approval. A lot of you are in bed now, so...

Great, thanks. I just wasn't sure what the * signified.

I wasn't sure what might suit Don best.
* The latter will be the latest time, it will probably be earlier.

It signifies that the schedule later failed a drug test, and that time is suspect :)

That's actually 4AM-6AM my time, but it's fine. I'll catch it when I can. Just don't take my lack of immediate reaction as a lack of enthusiasm.

Ah, see? I was doing my level best to try to cater for everyone, but timezones and night-owls can be a problem.  :D

When everything locked down last spring, I had weekly meetings that involved people from the western US all the way around through Europe, India, China, and on to New Zealand. There just was no winning :)

Wow. You must have been exhaused.

It was just one meeting per week, it's just that there was absolutely no way to make it convenient for everyone.

Now, if everyone could agree to abandon half the planet, things would be much easier.

I'll be in a field, metal detecting, but thanks to the wonders of modern technology I'll catch the announcement on my mobile ;-)

Aaarrggghhhh. I start work at 1130 (Glasgow time) and won’t see the challenge until around 2100. That’s a few hours lost.
On the plus side I’m not working the weekend so I’ll have time to dive into it.

Just noticed the edit on this, so no top scores, all scores, or no scores at all?

if it makes you feel any better, I'm always in bed when the normal OWC is announced so I lose a good 8-9 hours every time and I still absolutely own it! (giggles)
