    Wol Euler: buongiorno, qt
    Qt Core: good morning Wol
    Qt Core: i'm yet to choose the day mood, bad as i didn't go out with my bicycle as i awoke too late or good as i slept well and long
    Wol Euler smiles.
    Wol Euler: it is indeed up to you
    Qt Core: third choice uncertain and out of place all day
    Wol Euler: or good that you slept long and well, and better that you went out later with your bicycle
    Qt Core: that's an option too
    Wol Euler: given those three choices, I personally would go for good+better
    Qt Core: we'll see what the afternoon permits
    Wol Euler nods.
    Wol Euler: I hope it works out
    Agatha Macbeth: Hello :)
    Wol Euler: good morning, aggers
    Qt Core: hello Agatha

    --BELL--

    Agatha Macbeth: Are we well?
    Wol Euler: headache but otherwise fine
    Wol Euler: I seem to have slept crookedly
    Agatha Macbeth: Aww
    Wol Euler: and you?
    Agatha Macbeth: I'm good
    Qt Core: i'm good (and slept well, even too well)
    Agatha Macbeth: Yay
    Qt Core: who would not like him as a grandfather ? http://www.wimp.com/sageadvice/
    Agatha Macbeth: You look very baggy Wollie
    Wol Euler: heheheh
    Wol Euler: thanks, feeling lazy and sloppy and a little chilly today
    Qt Core: that phrase sounds way better in english, it italian is longer and not so well suited to be shouted
    Wol Euler grins.
    Agatha Macbeth: I prefer him with his hat on
    Wol Euler: the beard is also missing
    Qt Core: but the kids are the right size for hobbits
    Wol Euler: heheh
    Wol Euler: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlbunmCbTBA
    Wol Euler: my current favourite song, from 1977
    Agatha Macbeth: Never heard of them unfortunately
    Qt Core: very nice
    Wol Euler: well, they weren't around for long. Two years, two albums, this was the last
    Agatha Macbeth: Hm
    Qt Core: someone had to remember the guy at the front to eat sometimes
    Agatha Macbeth nods

    --BELL--

    Qt Core: just noticed the length
    Agatha Macbeth: 0.0
    Wol Euler smiles.
    Qt Core: so one can immerse himself in the mood
    Qt Core: like in a semi-meditative state ?
    Agatha Macbeth: Mood is all important
    Wol Euler: that's how I take it, yes
    Agatha Macbeth pokes Wol's stripey socks
    Qt Core: then only indtrumental is better for that, but for me this is almost an instrumental piece as i'm having great issues understanding his english ;-)
    Wol Euler: I like the seagull-sounding bit around 8:50
    Wol Euler: so did I at first, his accent and his style of speech are very odd
    Agatha Macbeth: Maybe he's Polish
    Wol Euler: American-born, just a sloppy speaker I think
    Agatha Macbeth: Great, make him president
    Wol Euler nods.
    Wol Euler: anyway, I remembered that song at work, out of the blue
    Wol Euler: hadn't thought of it in all these years
    Qt Core: as for wikipedia they are stilla ctive
    Wol Euler: huh
    Qt Core: ok, disbanded in 78 and reformed in 92
    Qt Core: it seems i eat a little since then: http://listeningroom.lohudblogs.com/...-tom-verlaine/
    Qt Core: * he
    Agatha Macbeth: Good old Tom
    Wol Euler: I suppose this demoonstrates the weakness of wikipedia compared to edited media: the wikipedia article on Tom Verlaine doesn't know that the band reformed.
    Agatha Macbeth: Loved his poetry
    Wol Euler nods.
    Qt Core: huh ? i got thet from the wiki page
    Qt Core: second last paragraph of the history section
    Wol Euler: *his* wiki page or the band's?
    Qt Core: the bad
    Qt Core: the band one
    Wol Euler: right, that's waht I meant. He also has a page, and I went to that since I knew his name
    Agatha Macbeth: The good the band an the ugly

    --BELL--

    Qt Core: he is good ad playing he is in a bad and honestly quite ugly, it is him!
    Agatha Macbeth nods
    Wol Euler: heheh
    Agatha Macbeth: Think he was a friend of Patti Smith
    Wol Euler nods.
    Qt Core: that make me think about this song "Una donna per amico" (a woman as a friend) (horrible formatting i know): http://www.beginningwithi.com/2007/0...nna-per-amico/
    Wol Euler looks
    Agatha Macbeth: He even grew a mustache for the occasion apparently
    Qt Core: as the page says Mogol and Battisti wrote some, many of the best italian songs from the late '60 onward
    Wol Euler smiles.
    Qt Core: yes, it feel wery weird to see those on his face
    Agatha Macbeth: Needs a sombrero to go with it

    --BELL--

    Qt Core: this is his more usual (childish ?) look "Acqua azzurra, acqua chiara" (blue water, clear water): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqeuE6hW6UM
    Agatha Macbeth: Nice scarf
    Qt Core: he often wore one
    Wol Euler smiles.
    Qt Core: i really like this not at the end of song translation: eventualmente – Here’s an example of a “false friend” – a word so closely related to one in your own language that you think you know how to use it, but you’d be wrong. (Italians trip going the other way.) “Eventually” in English means “in the long run,” or “after some time.” Eventualmente in Italian means “if that should be the case”, “if need be”.
    Agatha Macbeth: The fun of language eh
    Qt Core: yes, this week i was wondering about "dove", in english is the bird in italian means "where"
    Wol Euler nods.
    Agatha Macbeth grins
    Wol Euler: although the pronunciation is very different
    Qt Core: for me english is almost only a written language ;-)
    Wol Euler: mmhmm :)
    Agatha Macbeth: Maybe works better that way
    Qt Core: i think so, with its horrible spelling (or pronunciation if you would see it from the other side) rules...
    Agatha Macbeth: Non existent rules more like
    Wol Euler: my dears, I'm sorry to break up the party but I will have to leave at the next bell, to get ready for work
    Agatha Macbeth: Aww
    Qt Core: ok, i have to leave too, usual problem, precure food for lunch ;-)
    Agatha Macbeth likes QT's problem better
    Wol Euler: heheheh
    Wol Euler: agreed
    Wol Euler: I'd rather be shopping and cooking too
    Qt Core: well, in the end not so different from Wol's... should be working to get the money for ingredients added to most recipes ?
    Wol Euler: enjoy the day, my dears
    Agatha Macbeth: TC Wollie
    Wol Euler: like some recipes list cooking and prep times
    Wol Euler: "it will take you three hours of work to earn the money to buy this stuff"
    Agatha Macbeth: If you're Bill Gates, that would be some meal
    Agatha Macbeth: More like a banquet
    Qt Core: for 50 people
    Qt Core: bye Wol, have fun, btw
    Wol Euler waves and poofs away
    Agatha Macbeth: Ciao QT
    --BELL--
    Qt Core: bye
