Wol Euler: erm, you probably mean "will" if you are stating a fact or making a meteorological prediction
arabella Ella: i much prefer summer
Agatha Macbeth: Freeze a jolly good fellow
Wol Euler: "shall" is like a king ordering it to arrive on a certain date
Wol Euler is in a pedantic mood.

  --BELL--1345

arabella Ella: Alfie i always crash if i try to open a link while on SL
Zen Arado: Ara doesn't have to deal with snow
Agatha Macbeth: In my experience the only way to deal with it is wait for the thaw
Eliza Madrigal: ::shivers:::
Zen Arado: in Malta?
arabella Ella: stay indoors next to a hot fireplace
Agatha Macbeth: With lotsa brandy
arabella Ella: with good company and a glass of warm mulled wine
Agatha Macbeth: That also works
Wol Euler smiles.
Alfred Kelberry: ara, that too
Zen Arado: and even if it doesn't...
Eliza Madrigal: lol
arabella Ella: i was once snowed in in Rome and it was so weird
Agatha Macbeth: Mama mia
arabella Ella: everything came to a standstill
Zen Arado: here I snow again
Agatha Macbeth: Ice to see you
arabella Ella: we had a horrible electric storm here last night it woke me up a couple of times with really loud thunder
arabella Ella: but no snow
Agatha Macbeth: Aww
arabella Ella: and as Boxy said 'it shall not snow here!'
Zen Arado: my my how could I re-ice you?
Zen Arado: sorry getting silly
Alfred Kelberry: ah, mulled wine - we call it glintvein here
Wol Euler: fascinating
Agatha Macbeth: Glint who?
arabella Ella: is glintvein russian?
Alfred Kelberry: and yes, that is a must in the winter season
arabella Ella: sounds like a nice guy
Eliza Madrigal: writing class has gone to your fingers Zen ... dialogs taking over... :)
Alfred Kelberry: more like german :)
Zen Arado: heh
  --BELL--1400
arabella Ella: glue wine in german nicht wahr Wol?
Eliza Madrigal: oh goodness.. speaking of storms sorry to pop out... suddenly bad here
Eliza Madrigal: hug
Agatha Macbeth: Erk
Agatha Macbeth: Pull the plug out
Alfred Kelberry: "Glühwein (roughly, "glow-wine," from the hot irons once used for mulling) is popular in German- and Dutch-speaking countries"
Agatha Macbeth: Mein gott
Alfred Kelberry: which we had in berlin with the gang. right, woly? *pokes* :)
arabella Ella: using hot irons sounds a bit rough
Zen Arado: Berlin is good for bikes
Agatha Macbeth: This is what listening to Wagner does to you
arabella Ella: how can you hot iron wine?
Agatha Macbeth: Don't they mull it with a poker or something?
arabella Ella: no idea
Agatha Macbeth: Hmmm
Wol Euler: traditionally, you put the fireplace poker into a jug of wine
arabella Ella: oh
Wol Euler: these days people use big coffee pots
Agatha Macbeth: (remembering to wipe it first)
Wol Euler: or boiling pans
Zen Arado: sounds unhygenic
arabella Ella: the funny thing is that some german traditions have caught on in so many other places including german christmas fairs with mulled wine
Wol Euler: well, there weren't many ways to transfer heat between source and point-of-use, 300 years ago
Agatha Macbeth: Mmm
Wol Euler: it's even in Dickens, which is only what 150 years?
Alfred Kelberry: pou
Wol Euler: mulled wine warmed with a poker from the pub's coal fire
arabella Ella: really ... wow!
Wol Euler: that's the one that takes place mostly on the river ... title escapes me
Agatha Macbeth: As long as you don't mind black bits
Wol Euler: "our mutual friend", that's right
arabella Ella: let the black bits sink to the bottom and dont drink the dregs
Wol Euler: there were a hell of a lot of dregs in most drinks anyway, 150 years ago :)
arabella Ella: as with old style tea
Wol Euler: before chemical filtration
Zen Arado: Thames?
Agatha Macbeth: I remember tea strainers
Wol Euler: mmhmm
Agatha Macbeth: Think I still have one somewhere
Zen Arado: it froze over one year
arabella Ella: he he
Zen Arado: mini ice age
Agatha Macbeth: Fire and ice
arabella Ella: the tea strainer froze over?
Alfred Kelberry: i think dregs make a come back with the trend of organic foods
Agatha Macbeth: Hopefully not!
Zen Arado: no, the Thames
Agatha Macbeth: Old father Thames
Wol Euler: heheheheh
Alfred Kelberry: thames is a tea?
Zen Arado: it's a river
arabella Ella: it is a cloudy type of tea isnt it?
Agatha Macbeth: Thames tea?
arabella Ella: with dregs
Zen Arado: it's quite clean nowadays
Alfred Kelberry: :)
Alfred Kelberry: i like my tea with dregs
Wol Euler: for certain values of "clean", yes :)
Agatha Macbeth: Chacun a son gout dear
Wol Euler: very much better than it was even when I was a student htere.
arabella Ella: i would never call the thames clean as it has mud all over the place which makes it rather murky
Zen Arado: it was horrendous in Victorian times
Wol Euler nods.
Zen Arado: full of sewage
Zen Arado: dead bodies
Alfred Kelberry: neat
Zen Arado: Parliament had to be suspended because of the stink
arabella Ella: really?
Alfred Kelberry: who finally decided to clean it up?
Wol Euler nods.
Agatha Macbeth: Now parliament IS the stink
Zen Arado: yep
Zen Arado: :)
Alfred Kelberry: aga, oh! profound :)
Agatha Macbeth: >.<
Zen Arado: but we are now on the right track - David Cameron
Agatha Macbeth: Yeh, right
arabella Ella: one nation right?
Zen Arado: what is Ara?
Alfred Kelberry: except scotland
arabella Ella: a slogan they sometimes use Zen
Zen Arado: and Ireland
Agatha Macbeth: Hoots mon
arabella Ella: rhetoric
Zen Arado: bejabbers
Agatha Macbeth: Jabberwocky
Zen Arado: my grandfather used to say that
arabella Ella: i must go get some sleep good night everyone!
Zen Arado: bejabbers
Wol Euler: goodnight, ara, sweet dreams
Zen Arado: nite Ara
Zen Arado: sleep well
arabella Ella: thanks!
Agatha Macbeth: Aww, bye Ara
Agatha Macbeth: swim well
Alfred Kelberry: ha! found it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Stink
  --BELL--1415
Zen Arado: a doctor got rid of cholera
Alfred Kelberry: ah, what gems you can find on wikipedia: "Henry Moule (1801–1880), English pastor of the Church of England saw a connection between the conditions of hygiene and the expansion of disease; he turned his attention to sanitary science. The outbreak of cholera in 1854 and the Great Stink gave him impetus in 1859 to experiment with his dry earth closet, for which he filed a patent in 1860."
Zen Arado: he noticed cholera regions were near certain water pumps
Agatha Macbeth: John Snow?
Zen Arado: yes
Wol Euler: I thought that was John Snow
Wol Euler: snap
Agatha Macbeth: Arr
Agatha Macbeth: Before he became a bowler
Wol Euler: or a pub
Agatha Macbeth: That too
Wol Euler smiles.
Zen Arado: or a TV commentator
Zen Arado: busy man
Wol Euler: :)
Agatha Macbeth: Gets about
Wol Euler: pretty zippy for a guy who's been dead for over 150 years
Zen Arado: public health improvements conquered more disease than any drugs
Agatha Macbeth: Death is no barrier to some it seems
Agatha Macbeth: Just look at Elvis
Wol Euler nods.
Zen Arado: provisn of sewers
Korel Laloix: Back
Agatha Macbeth: WB K
Zen Arado: wb K
Korel Laloix smiles
Zen Arado: you missed great sanitory improvements
Zen Arado: sanitary
Korel Laloix: Never can be too many of those.
Agatha Macbeth: and the great stink
Zen Arado: in Victorian England
Korel Laloix: Glad I missed it then.
Zen Arado: :)
Alfred Kelberry: satori improvements :)
Korel Laloix: Just looking, I think today might be my Rez Date.
Wol Euler: ooh
Agatha Macbeth: Ah
Wol Euler: nah, end of december
Wol Euler: perhaps you were thinkng of another av? :)
Korel Laloix: My origional one.
Agatha Macbeth: The one who disintegrated?
Alfred Kelberry: "Toshers, also sometimes called grubbers, scavenged through the sewers looking for anything of value. This gave them some immunity to sewage-related diseases that killed many."
Korel Laloix: Yes... it is... Tuesday before haloween in 2005.... smiles
Alfred Kelberry: a bit of germs are good
Korel Laloix: So the 25th.
Agatha Macbeth: Yowie
Korel Laloix: So 7 years today.... smiles
Wol Euler: happy birthday!
Alfred Kelberry: 666 days it says! :)
Korel Laloix: Thanks.
Korel Laloix: That is sort of funny.
Agatha Macbeth: The number of the beast
Korel Laloix: Strange to look at it this way.
Agatha Macbeth: 999?
Korel Laloix smiles
Wol Euler: my dears, I'm going to head off to bed too
Wol Euler: goodnight, be healthy and happy
Korel Laloix: Take care.
Agatha Macbeth: Me too, bye for now
Wol Euler: and stay out of the sewers
