    Agatha Macbeth: And here comes QT :)
    Agatha Macbeth: Buona sera
    Wol Euler: taking up where we left off, heheheh
    Qt Core: Hi Agatha, Wol
    Agatha Macbeth: Right, what were we talking about this morning? :p
    Wol Euler: let me just go and chnge out of my working clothes .....
    Agatha Macbeth: Never saw working clothes like that before
    Agatha Macbeth: What's an interrobang used for QT?
    Qt Core: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interrobang
    Agatha Macbeth looks
    Qt Core: i usually favor the sisbelief and rethorical use ;-)
    Agatha Macbeth: Ah I see, it combines the two
    Agatha Macbeth: Wonder how they do it in Spain, with their upside down question marks
    Qt Core: A reverse and upside down interrobang (combining ¿ and ¡, Unicode character: ⸘), suitable for starting phrases in Spanish, Galician and Asturian is called an "inverted interrobang" or a gnaborretni (interrobang written backwards)
    Santoshima Resident: 's current display-name is "San".
    Qt Core: (from the article)
    Agatha Macbeth: There you go
    Agatha Macbeth: Hello San
    Santoshima Resident: hi
    Agatha Macbeth: They think of everything
    Qt Core: Hi San
    Santoshima Resident: hi
    Wol Euler: hello san
    Qt Core: some jokes are good only it toke to the extremes (or not considered jokes at all)
    Agatha Macbeth: WB
    Agatha Macbeth grins
    Agatha Macbeth: Only just got in Wollie?
    Wol Euler: yeah
    Agatha Macbeth: I do hope you've eaten
    Wol Euler: I am eating now
    Wol Euler: as we speak
    Agatha Macbeth: No coffee yet?
    Wol Euler: typing with my hands full heheheheh
    Agatha Macbeth smiles
    Agatha Macbeth: Busy girl
    Agatha Macbeth: I must take a look at your place in Buyeo sometime San
    --BELL--1330
    Wol Euler: aggers, since you asked, I had coffee in the office. Still none at home
    Agatha Macbeth: Well I wish you every success in your venture to locate a new supply
    Wol Euler: thank you!
    Santoshima Resident: ditto
    Agatha Macbeth: You really wouldn't think one would encounter such a problem in this day and age
    Santoshima Resident: ( buyeo teahouse is a truffle )
    Santoshima Resident: welcome anytime
    Qt Core: maybe sone online shop
    Santoshima Resident: nope, my Sl home
    Wol Euler: well, it's only a problem because I am being fussy. I want fair-trade highland-grown low-acidity mild-roasted coffe
    Wol Euler: stuff called "coffee" is available in every store and even some gas stations
    Agatha Macbeth: High acid...what?
    Wol Euler: exactly
    Agatha Macbeth: Oh, right
    Agatha Macbeth: Does it really make a difference?
    Wol Euler: yes, it does
    Agatha Macbeth: Fair enough
    Santoshima Resident: cuppa cocoa instead?
    Wol Euler: the stuff I drink is much easier on my stomach and my nerves
    Wol Euler: and my conscience
    Agatha Macbeth: To me, coffee's coffee, EOS
    Agatha Macbeth: Guess I'm just easily pleased
    Wol Euler: perhaps :)
    Agatha Macbeth: So other kinds of coffee make you nervous?
    Wol Euler: mmhmm
    Qt Core: i few months ago i tried coffee for the first time in my life, thrice, in three different places to be sure... never tasted something so terrible
    Wol Euler: irritable, unsettled
    Wol Euler: wow :)
    Santoshima Resident: yeah
    Agatha Macbeth grins @ QT
    Wol Euler: well, qt, it is certainly true that the beans always smell much better than the brew tastes
    Agatha Macbeth: Something to do with cafeine (sp?)
    Qt Core: i never tried it as i don't like the smell, but now the smell is almost good as it make me think about the taste
    Qt Core: i had to cut my usual caffeine source (coke/pepsi) so decided to try coffee... never again
    Agatha Macbeth: When you think about it, I guess it's a good thing we think about what we put in our bodies
    Wol Euler grins.
    Agatha Macbeth: Oh coke...yuk
    Agatha Macbeth: I prefer water
    Santoshima Resident: those carbonated drinks without the sugar and added flavours would taste similar to coffee, yes?
    Santoshima Resident: just as terrible, likely
    Santoshima Resident: and without the theme songs and kazillion dollars of ads churning in one's brain as one sips.
    Santoshima Resident: probably just as bad
    Agatha Macbeth: At least it doesn't play it while you drink :p
    Wol Euler: oh coffee has a theme song too! hehehe
    Wol Euler: just a sec
    Agatha Macbeth: It does?
    Santoshima Resident: i like coffee i like tea?
    Agatha Macbeth: I know that one
    Bruce Mowbray: 's current display-name is "Bruce".
    Agatha Macbeth: Yay Brucie
    Qt Core: Hi Bruce
    Bruce Mowbray: Heya, everyone. Sorry to be so late. A rough day.
    Agatha Macbeth: Aww
    Santoshima Resident: hello Bruce
    Bruce Mowbray: Namaste, San-ji.
    Agatha Macbeth: Anything you feel like ranting about?
    Agatha Macbeth: :p
    Bruce Mowbray: Me. Nope.
    Agatha Macbeth: Ok
    Bruce Mowbray: Just feel like being quiet for a change.
    Agatha Macbeth: It helps sometimes
    Wol Euler: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWRyIflifgY
    Bruce Mowbray: but ty for asking.
    Agatha Macbeth: YW
    Agatha Macbeth: Us agony aunts are always here :)
    Bruce Mowbray: THAT's IT!!! The Bossa Nova!
    Bruce Mowbray: what a relief.
    Agatha Macbeth: Eh?
    Agatha Macbeth looks round
    Agatha Macbeth: Did I miss something
    Wol Euler: you missed a link
    Bruce Mowbray: You missed Woly's YouTube link.
    Agatha Macbeth looks
    Bruce Mowbray: snap.
    Agatha Macbeth: Oh THAT one
    Qt Core: speaking about coffee this may be relevant too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGtKGX8B9hU ;-)
    --BELL--1345
    Bruce Mowbray: Vive la France!
    Agatha Macbeth: Does it grow anywhere else apart from Brasil?
    Bruce Mowbray: Yes.
    Agatha Macbeth: Hi Zenny
    Bruce Mowbray: They grow a lot of it in Columbia, Panama, all those Central American countries.
    Zen Arado: 's current display-name is "Zen".
    Bruce Mowbray: Heya, Zen.
    Agatha Macbeth: Not sure what kind of climate it requires
    Bruce Mowbray: Columbia*
    Zen Arado: Hi all
    Qt Core: Hi Zen
    Agatha Macbeth: Ah, of course- Columbia...Maxwell House
    Bruce Mowbray: Well, here's clue: It does NOT grow in London or in Southern Ohio.
    Agatha Macbeth: So warm then?
    Bruce Mowbray: yeppers.
    Zen Arado: unless you have a setup?
    Zen Arado: with big lights
    Agatha Macbeth: I know tea comes from India and thereabouts
    Zen Arado: an operation
    Santoshima Resident: hi Zen
    Bruce Mowbray: (We are talking about coffee, aren't we?)
    Agatha Macbeth: I am
    Zen Arado: oh?
    Bruce Mowbray: me too, aggers.
    Zen Arado: thought it was marijuana
    Agatha Macbeth: Dunno about anyone else :p
    Agatha Macbeth: I definitely don't drink marijuana
    Zen Arado: Colombia is a big drugs place
    Bruce Mowbray: Marijuana grows like weeds in Ohio!
    Bruce Mowbray: and it is encouraged to grow like that.
    Agatha Macbeth: Oh yes, course
    Bruce Mowbray: The pigs and cows LOVE it!
    Bruce Mowbray: Ever seen a stoned cow?
    Santoshima Resident: nope
    Zen Arado: doesn#t grow in N.Ireland I think
    Wol Euler: hello zen
    Agatha Macbeth: Can't say so
    Santoshima Resident: gota pic, bruce?
    Agatha Macbeth: Are they horny?
    Zen Arado: too cold
    Agatha Macbeth: Mooo man
    Bruce Mowbray: No, but I've seen them. . . after they have consumed a pasture full of illegally grown pot.
    Bruce Mowbray: Talk about BLISS!
    Santoshima Resident: cash crop? or cow crop?
    Agatha Macbeth: Wonder what the milk tastes like?
    Bruce Mowbray: Mooey mooey moooooo!
    Zen Arado: what's the milk like?
    Qt Core: wonder about the milk...
    Agatha Macbeth: Snap (x3)
    Qt Core: ;-)
    Santoshima Resident: might help the taste of the coffee, qt
    Wol Euler: heheheh
    Bruce Mowbray: ;-)
    Bruce Mowbray: ha ha!
    Agatha Macbeth: We must get some for Wollie's coffee (if she ever finds any)
    Bruce Mowbray: LOVE that, San.
    Wol Euler raises an eyebrow.
    Wol Euler: why me?
    Santoshima Resident: ditto
    Agatha Macbeth: Why not?
    Wol Euler: fair enough
    Agatha Macbeth: Milch macht's nichtwahr? ;-)
    Bruce Mowbray ponders making 90 degree angles in his archetectural blueprints after a few cups of such coffe.
    Bruce Mowbray: Those dwellings would look like my typist's house, actually.
    Agatha Macbeth: Why is my building upside down?
    Bruce Mowbray: ABANDON HOPE FOR RIGH ANGLES, ARE YOU WHO ENTER HERE!
    Bruce Mowbray: RIGHT*
    Wol Euler: dyslexic builder
    Bruce Mowbray: ;-)
    Agatha Macbeth: Yeh, settle for 120 degrees
    Agatha Macbeth: Pisa would love it
    Zen Arado: the tyranny of the right angle
    Agatha Macbeth: I blame Pythagoras
    Agatha Macbeth: Him and his adjacent squares
    Zen Arado: yeh with his hypoteneuse squares
    Zen Arado: whatever
    Qt Core: poor guy, he even tried to keep that secret
    Agatha Macbeth: And as for Archimedes...
    Zen Arado: the square of the hypoteneuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides?
    Wol Euler: I remember the sense of awe and wonder I felt when I first read "3² + 4² = 5²"
    Zen Arado: yeh
    Wol Euler: that's it
    Agatha Macbeth: E=mc2
    Wol Euler: that is such an amazing thing.
    Agatha Macbeth: Wonder how he found out?
    Bruce Mowbray: [13:55] Bruce (bruce.mowbray) hums "Angles we have seen on high... Sweetly singing o'er the hypotenuse...." [13:55] Bruce (bruce.mowbray): And the theorems in reply, Echoing the joyous moose! [13:56] Bruce (bruce.mowbray): [done] [13:56] Bruce (bruce.mowbray) hangs head.
    Zen Arado: wonders how Wol can write suffixes
    Agatha Macbeth: She has the power :p
    Wol Euler: by cheating :) I used the character chart, and copy and place
    Zen Arado: ah
    Santoshima Resident: good
    Agatha Macbeth: Beats using ^
    Bruce Mowbray loves -ment and -ness.....
    Wol Euler: *paste
    Agatha Macbeth: Who is?
    Zen Arado: it is a very important theory in maths
    Wol Euler: three minutes to Bertie
    Zen Arado: Pythagoras
    Agatha Macbeth: Two actually
    Bruce Mowbray: Yikes!
    Bruce Mowbray: Thanks. I've lost all track of time today.
    Santoshima Resident: ok, time to pack ~ evening gents
