Abacus thought we needed a non-confrontational space so here it is is. Any suggestions for a name? My effort is just provisional.

The Lounge Bar?
Then if anyone goes off on one we can blame the drink.
Lounge bar rules of course. No children...

Pssst.
Mr Smith. If you find it boring you don't have to listen, or say anything. You can move to the other end of the bar.......

It doesn't have to be boring - just an opportunity to talk about stuff other than science to add variety.
'The Lounge Bar' sounds good to me - a chance to let one's hair down (within good taste of course).

Lounge bar seems a great name. Now the usual Internet rule is that he/she who wins buys the first round, so I hope your pockets deep Jonjel! If not, I know of this little scam that could earn you a few quid... all you need is an email address in Kuwait!  P |

AhaH. The beer. No worries. My rules though which are I don't intend to buy in any pub further than 10 miles from my home. So looks like it could be a lonely (and inexpensive) evening
As for an overseas e-mail address, strangely, that story has moved on. The money did indeed remain uncleared.
I personally followed up with a very polite e-mail to the effect that I was glad they had resolved the problem from their end and saved us bank charges, and we looked forward to receiving the correct sum so we could commence production.
Strangely enough I have yet to receive a reply....

The Club Room? Is that where we club eachother to death with our intellectual cudgels?
The Lounge? The spectre of Lounge Lizards springs to mind.

How about "The Swamp" in homage to M*A*S*H ? Here's a reminder! Let's start with a "caption this" competition.  namtab.com/mash/SSN02_44asyou.gif"Nay and marchesa amuse themselves happily while STA and jonjel wonder what mischief they are plotting" |

Friendly Chat Room Indeed!
Worra Lorra Borrocks!
Call it the Ante-Science Room and allow those prats who have sod-all to say about science and little sensible to say about anything else prattle on about their cats litter-trays and how to make rice puddings.

Marchesa,
In honour of Greenie Warmists everywhere, I think 'The Seal Club' would be apt.
