Have to admit I make most of my Forum posts when I come home at night after having a few drinks in the Bar. Not really the right time to make a post as usually feeling a little befuddled and when I might say something I regret later.
However living in a warm climate means you spend most of your time out of doors,
both day and night, and it is only occasionally we have a night in and watch television.
I always seem to be more awake when I come in at night, and hungry, and usually first make myself a cup of tea and something to eat, before sitting down at my computer terminal and checking my emails.
That is when I reply to posts and make new ones, and seldom go to bed before midnight. Sometimes the morning after I think, why did I say that, and wish I had gone to bed without using my laptop beforehand, but it seems a habit I can't get out of.
Just checked my watch whilst posting this and it has just turned midnight, but I don't feel tired at all, despite a busy night running a quiz in our local Bar. At least it doesn't matter what time I get up in the morning, but it is usually about 9am when I am woken by hearing the Lifeguard dishing out Sunbeds by the Pool.
Living where I do, I'm the 'nightwatchman' and do most of my posts while you lot are beddy byes. :sleep:
Like some of the Antipodean members, my day starts around the witching hour in Europe, and as I need to support this hobby (as well as a wife and child-in-utero) via paid employment, this site has popped to the top of my list of procrastination facilitators. :NGF:
Evenings and spend more time "online" during the winter months which we are now coming into....once the weather gets nicer we tend to spend more time outdoors an then there is the lure of my other interest, my motorcycle which has now been put away for the duration...... :(
For me it is usually early evening (US time) when I get home from work. That means 2 things:
1) It is well after midnight UK time and most forum members don't see my posts til morning
2) the only other poster active at this time seems to be Bealman :D
Although to be fair some of the others 'down under' are sometimes active as well!
Not to mention a certain procrastinator in Japan :D
Come to think of it I sometimes overlap towards the end of the evening with some insanely early morning posters in the UK. Sprintex springs to mind as a regular early riser :D
There's a reason for that ;)
Thought my ears were feeling rather warm :D
Yep, sadly I'm up at 1.20am weekdays at the moment for work so I check in then but don't usually post unless it's important. I do pop in and out regularly pretty much all day from then on to keep an eye out and post if necessary except 2-6pm (bedtime 1) and after 10pm (bedtime 2) :)

You name a time and day and I've probably posted then :o
Mostly either first thing after breakfast or between 8.00 and 10.00 in the evening.
Posting from work at the moment, it is really slack here at the moment so I can build my kits up, and write posts, but come next week I have loads of decorating to do and I get the room for my Layout and desk so plenty of pics going up when I get going on the room.
When do I post?
Only when I have something relevant or useful to add to the thread...
:P :-[
Being retired I can post anytime, but normally log on while drinking my morning cuppa, then have a quick look-see as I pass the PCU during the day and have a session before bed.( I'm a forum junkie). Also, being retired, I take frequent holidays during which I can't post.
I'm retired as well, so no set time (usually once the kettle has boiled and tea/coffee made). As I am also a moderator on another forum, I am usually on that one and, if I pop out of it for a break, I usually check out this one.
I'm always here.... :computerangry: ;D
Whenever I find something interesting..... Which is most of the time :D
As early as possible in the day - the Royal Mail collection times are really unfathomable nowadays...
Oh, you mean on the Forum... whenever necessary, and sometimes more frequently than that...
Didn't expect many responses when I posted this thread, but had them from England, Wales (Cymru), Australia, Canada, and Japan, but none from Scotland or Ireland (Eire) to-date.
Being another retiree, I log on to the forum at various times of the bay, between 8am and midnight.
My main time is when Malc is on line to stir him up, especially when he's down at the dock on the bay day :D
I'm funny, eh. ;)
Hi Gang,
Usually when I am on the can...best concentration!! :claphappy:
No, seriously, whenever possible, my available time to browse and play trains is severely limited by the joys of the day job and the daily stresses of life. However, if there is a subject which interests me...eg the N Gauge Pendoloino Kickstarter, then I will monitor it more often...
Later,
Stu from EGDL.
As and when I get round to it.
For me, I normally post during the evening or night time when there nowt to do, :D :D :D
Or when i get board or working on my railway ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)
