-
I'm in Llandeilo (near Carmarthen).
I'm sure there are a few in Swansea.
-

Any of you guys got any idea as to what happened to the south wales amiga users group? :pissed:
-
I'm in Mid Wales any users around this neck of the woods/valleys/reservoirs etc.
-

;-)
-
We've got Southern Wright Whales, off the coast.

I was very briefly, only went to one meet when Ben Vost was present, I thinnk it may had been one of the last meets although I could be wrong.
It's a shame that SWAG is no more.
-
Theres a chance, we could always start up the wales and west amiga user group. meet up once a month.
-
That's food for thought...
:-)
-
A dam sight easyer to solve problems over a pint and a chin wag, than banging on a board.
-
Cor that died a sudden death :angel:
-
There must be some fellow amigaians in our area, that would be up for a meet, out there?
:-o
-
@Zero
Where abouts in bristol are you? I'm up in Brislington.
-
I`d be up for a meet once a month, cardiff to bristol is only an hour to cribbs.
-
i could be up for a meet as well,providing i can make it of course.
taunton to bristol is only an hour away too.
it would be best to find somewhere close to the motorway for ease of travelling,
perhaps we could even get mathew from amigakit to come along too :-)
-
Staple Hill :-)
-
I'm up for a meet as well!
Be great to get some Amigaians together for a chat!
:-)
-
Im in Swansea :)
And yes, We do have Electricity here, and this smelly, killer, slightly warming stuff called... wait... i will remember... Ah yes. Gas.
Im up for some Meetups... depends on the location, etc.
Kev

What a banging idea, i`ll try n get hold of him, and drop him a line.
Cribbs Causeway, is an ideal hook up point, you mc donalds bang on the side of the m5
:-)
-
You got gas? cor you`r spoiled, we got calor in cardiff lol.
I`ve asked matt, of amigakit to see if he wants to tag along, aint had a reply yet folks, guys probably busy.
If it were me, i`d be out the warehouse playing with every thing ha ha ha
-
Actually there's quite a few Amigas in Wales from what I've seen...
Of course there aren't many where I am which is about as Welsh as you can get south of Ynys Môn.... :)

Lets talk dates peoples, how are most of us fixed up, for dates towards the end of march?
Depending on the area of interest, we could either go to cribbs causeway, if there is mostly english amigans who would like to meet up, or moere towards smansea if the s.waleians tougt up more support.
Maybe even run to venues???? All up to you gang!!! :nervous:
-
Warning: completely off topic!
The title of this thread reminds me of the "Made In Wales" TV adverts that were shown in the 1980s, and the funny version by the Not The Nine O'Clock News team called "Made Of Whales" !!! :lol:
Sorry! Normal thread operation will now resume!

-

-
Bristol is sounding fav at the mo, I can make that date, who else can?
Come on guys, check your diaries, should be quite good, easier to share tips, exchange ideas, arrange future meets, bring n buys etc etc.
-
Bristol sounds good to me! :lol:
I can't make March 24th, playing a gig in Bristol!
But hopefully this will become a regular thing and I can get to the next one?
:-)
-

Hi twizzle, thanks!
The album is in progress, we were hoping for a May release to coincide with our gig with The Pineapple Thief and Magenta,
on May 13th at the Cheese & Grain, Frome.
:-D

Hehe, so you two will know More Music, Revenge Records and Rowlands Ex & Mart where I built up my enormous music collection!
I swapped my first electric guitar in More Music for a VCR. It's dead now, but it gave good service for a couple of years!
Also that kinda grubby second hand shop on a side street which used to have all sorts of interesting electronic and photographic gear, then went the way of cheap videos when DVD came in. I think it's closed down now!
-
More Music
That would be my mates shop. Gone now... all done online so the buisness is still up :)
-
@Zero
If you like Pineapple Thief have a look at Aaron Slater (http://www.aaronslater.com/index.php). :-D
-
@ lopos
Will do... :-)

-
Changing the subject ever so slight (or that probaby should be "sorry, off topic") - is there Welsh language support available for the Amiga? This would be a lovely thing to see. And Cornish too?
-
I'm sure I heard of work on Windows support for Welsh. I know that Israel had (or at least threatened) to boycott Windows due to lack of support for hebrew.
There was an episode of the Simpsons where Lisa protested in favour of Cornish independance but no real support for any Celtic/Gaelic languages in most OSes...
... strange as Oxford offer a degree in Celtic language and culture.
-
Windows must SURELY offer support for Welsh! Pretty poor state of affairs if not. I was being a bit tongue-in-cheek with my Cornish locale support question but it would be nice to see! I remember the Simpsons episode where Matt Groening took up the cause of the Cornish, it was the alternative Queen's speech as I remember it. Exeter University also offer a Cornish Studies degree.
-
I can't remember how many languages there are in the world. I think there's 240 countries, 4000 languages and 32,000 variations or something - the Celtic languages combined must have at least a million speakers (600,000 people speak Welsh both in Wales and Patagonia,Argentina).
I suppose it's up to the last remaining Amiga users of those languages to be the gospel.
A cross-platform language library would be cool though, like javascript or that plugin dictionary some text editors use.
EDIT:
So when/where are you guys meeting?
