looked even the Face Book page hasn't had a post for ages.
Nice to see someone other than me is still subscribed to ULY.
Maybe an old farts con, we must all be knocking on a bit after 20 odd
years, I know I am facing my three quarter century this September :-)

Nothing to miss, as I posted the happy days of ULY are gone, last time I
looked even the Face Book page hasn't had a post for ages.

Matt Hancock is up in court Tuesday over opening pubs indoors on April 12th.
I may organize Globalcon 2020 delayed. Hoping to get a con going for Slaithwaite and maybe a beer crawl between huddersfield and the brockholes area and slaithwaite in them valley areas..
See what happens.

Life moves on though, and I have many happy memories of ULY. I could probably manage to stagger to a con if it was in Huddersfield :)
It's rather odd all this, I'm new to Usenet/newsgroups and am reading
through old posts on the few groups that aren't full of spam.
The repeating pattern is a few spaced-out (in time) posts up until 2016,
then nothing.
Then, after a massive gap, people are talking by some miracle, and are
reminiscing about how lively and enjoyable these places used to be.
I just wish I could've been there when it was happening, this seems like
it used to be such a nice place to discuss things. Miles better than any
of the 'social medias'.
Hope everyone's doing well.

September.
I don't do Twatter and Faceache but uly wasn't all sweetness and light,
there were some very nasty people who tried, and some may say succeed,
in ruining the group.
I do wonder what has happened to the many friends I made 20+ years ago,
nice to see Mike Clayton is still around, I vaguely remember through an
alcohol induced mist he one carried my across Leeds to the train home.
There is one person who I still have contact with from back then, the
Bunny Lady Alison who with her husband Lee set up a successful computer
shop in my village of Kirkheaton 18 years ago and have saved my sanity
several times when my PC went ape and I found it easier to let them
build and sort out problems as I got older.
