@npub1fkl…7udr @npub196k…z62t @npub1c3m…923c Looks like it's a weird one, but I'll keep on looking. My garage looks like the place where Indiana Jones put the Lost Ark, so it might still be in there somewhere.

@npub1fkl…7udr @npub196k…z62t @npub1c3m…923c You don't happen to have a power cable for a MZ-NH1 gathering dust do you? My MZ-R30 finally stopped recording, so if I can bring my Net MD back to life I can party like it's (around) 1999 again!

@npub1hpc…hjn3 The benefits of having a social group in the centre of the place I live far outweigh any awkwardness from having occasionally to wear formal clothes to an event or recite some lines from an old passage written several hundred years ago.

@npub1hpc…hjn3 I was aware that I was walking into a group of people who had existing opinions on things. I was open at the outset that if I was ever asked to do something I couldn't agree with, I'd walk away - which they were 100% OK with. So far, I've never had my personal values challenged, so I've not felt uncomfortable joining in with their habits and ways.

@npub1hpc…hjn3 I found myself joining the Freemasons for similar reasons. Rather than being drawn by Dan Brown novels, I liked the idea of associating with a group of people, who did the occasional charitable fund raiser and got to hang about in fancy old buildings.
