Agatha Macbeth: How's Milan QT?
Qt Core: sunny and a lot of smog
Agatha Macbeth: Oh dear
Agatha Macbeth: Oops
Agatha Macbeth: Wouldn't the smog hide the sun tho?
Qt Core: that is quite common, usually in early february Milan finish off all the smog bonus day the EU give us ;-)
Agatha Macbeth: Aww, bless the EU
Agatha Macbeth: Where would we be without them?
Agatha Macbeth: (a lot better off perhaps?)
Qt Core: well, as we finishe them we may het fines to pay... not counting the medical bills for the smog related illnesses
Agatha Macbeth: Hmm, yes
Agatha Macbeth: I didn't think smog happened in Europe any more
--BELL--(1315)
Agatha Macbeth: Probably from car exhausts
Qt Core: and house warming too
Agatha Macbeth: No smoke free zones in Italy then?
Qt Core: most done with natural gas but some stil with oil
Agatha Macbeth: Ah
Agatha Macbeth: In the old days it was coal fires here :p
Qt Core: surely not on a 100km radius from milan ;-)
Agatha Macbeth: Oh dear
Agatha Macbeth: It certainly can't do the lungs much good
Qt Core: italian nothern plain isn't a windy place that is the main reason (after creating the smog itself that is)
Agatha Macbeth: Yes, a good wind would at least blow it all away
Agatha Macbeth: People will be walking around in gas masks next [grin]

Storm Nordwind: Hope and pray perhaps?
Agatha Macbeth: Yes, exactly

Agatha Macbeth: Windows may be a pain, but at least it's designed with idiots like me in mind
Qt Core: there was audio but not voice
Agatha Macbeth: Oh dear QT

Storm Nordwind keeps shoving new information in his brain but the old tattered stuff doesn't always seem to fall out
Agatha Macbeth: Not a very successful one let it be said :p
arabella Ella: what about stew-ards
arabella Ella: make stew?
Agatha Macbeth: Stew ward: like it
Storm Nordwind: No steward comes from stiward = literally guardian of someone else's sty!

Storm Nordwind chuckles
Agatha Macbeth: Hmm, true
arabella Ella: he he
arabella Ella: but we are all stewards of past heritage
arabella Ella: and it is the name of the british royal family isnt it
Agatha Macbeth: Past present and future I guess
Mickorod Renard: I guess you could make a stew with the habitants of the sty
Agatha Macbeth: Windsor?
Agatha Macbeth is puzzled again
