    [13:05] Arisia Vita: welcome Wol
    [13:05] Aurora Kitaj: hi Wol, nice to see you
    [13:05] Wol Euler: hello aurora, haven't seen you in ages!
    [13:05] Wol Euler: hello ari, please join us
    [13:06] Arisia Vita: she is/was on text link only
    [13:06] Wol Euler: oh, I see
    [13:06] Arisia Vita: so I was trying to help position her
    [13:06] Wol Euler: tricky.
    [13:06] Arisia Vita: very
    [13:07] Arisia Vita: I'll get her back
    [13:07] Arisia Vita: and quit playing with her...
    [13:07] Wol Euler smiles.
    [13:08] Wol Euler: take your time
    [13:08] Arisia Vita: how are you?
    [13:08] Wol Euler: pretty well thanks, and you?
    [13:08] Arisia Vita: great, ty
    [13:09] Aurora Kitaj: hello there
    [13:09] Arisia Vita: wb dear
    [13:09] Wol Euler: wb
    [13:09] Aurora Kitaj: thank you Ari

    [13:09] Arisia Vita: we'll leave you pointing sideways, it will be a clue to others that you are text only
    [13:09] Aurora Kitaj: giggles
    [13:10] Arisia Vita: and you look nice from the side too
    [13:10] Wol Euler smiles.
    [13:10] Aurora Kitaj: I appreciated you understanding in my present predicament
    [13:10] Aurora Kitaj: namely blind
    [13:10] Arisia Vita: I've never been on a text link
    [13:10] Wol Euler: there's nothing happening as yet :)
    [13:11] Aurora Kitaj: I've never been to a meeting on an iPad ;)
    [13:11] Wol Euler: wow!
    [13:11] Wol Euler: even if you can't see us, I'm impressed enough that it works
    [13:11] Korel Laloix: Heya...
    [13:11] Korel Laloix: brb
    [13:11] Wol Euler: hello korel
    [13:11] Wol Euler: bye korel :)
    [13:11] Aurora Kitaj: pocket meta verse :)
    [13:12] Aurora Kitaj: great to speak to you Wol, after all this time
    [13:12] Wol Euler: indeed :)
    [13:12] Wol Euler: how have you been? and where?
    [13:13] Aurora Kitaj: been waylaid, under a spell in rl
    [13:13] Wol Euler nods.
    [13:13] Aurora Kitaj: how have you been Wol?
    [13:13] Korel Laloix: Back.... smiles..
    [13:13] Aurora Kitaj: hi Korel
    [13:13] Wol Euler: far too busy, hardly managed to get into SL at all for the last few weeks
    [13:13] Wol Euler: but that's over now, thankfully
    [13:13] Wol Euler: wb korel
    [13:14] Korel Laloix: So your project it done?
    [13:14] Wol Euler: the competitoin, yes
    [13:14] Korel Laloix: When do you know the results?
    [13:14] Wol Euler: the *second* competition in fact :)
    [13:14] Wol Euler: late july, I believe
    [13:14] Wol Euler: summer in any case
    [13:14] Wol Euler: it always takes a while

    [13:16] Korel Laloix: How is something like that judged?
    [13:16] Korel Laloix: NOt that we should be judgemental.. smiles
    [13:17] Wol Euler: heheh
    [13:17] Wol Euler: in two sections
    [13:17] Korel Laloix: We should be equinimacable and transend judgement..
    [13:17] Korel Laloix smiles

    [13:17] Wol Euler: first, the technical proofing: did we get all the rooms required? did we exceed any local laws or zoning restrictions?
    [13:18] Korel Laloix: OK.
    [13:18] Korel Laloix: That makes sense.
    [13:18] Wol Euler: if that passes, and not all do, then it goes to the panel of experts and politicians who judge its artistic and social merits :)
    [13:18] Korel Laloix: Social merits?
    [13:18] Wol Euler: achieving stated goals :)
    [13:19] Korel Laloix: Can you give an example please?
    [13:19] Wol Euler: (looking for a non-technical kind of judgement)
    [13:19] Wol Euler: well, do the room layouts make sense? do the classrooms and the corridors feel comvortable, or are they cramped?
    [13:19] Wol Euler: are the little kids separated from the big kids, and is there supervision of al lplay areas?
    [13:20] Wol Euler: this overlaps so some extent wiht the technical proofing, of course
    [13:20] Korel Laloix: So the artistic bit is how attractive the place is.. but the social is how it feels to the user?
    [13:20] Korel Laloix: Is that sort of right?
    [13:20] Wol Euler: sort of, yes
    [13:20] Wol Euler: the panel typically consists of a few experts (teachres in this case), an architect or three, and some local politicans
    [13:21] Wol Euler: all have their agendas :)
    [13:21] Korel Laloix: And the politicans ruin it?
    [13:21] Wol Euler: heheheh
    [13:21] Wol Euler: far be it from me to say that (coughs)
    [13:21] Korel Laloix: Commiteesssss are really a good solution I don't think.
    [13:21] Wol Euler: they tend to be fairer than letting the mayor choose by hhimself
    [13:21] Korel Laloix: Boxy would comment on my negative construction in that sentance...grins
    [13:22] Wol Euler: but can also be driver by a determined single person, sure
    [13:22] Korel Laloix: Good point.
    [13:22] Korel Laloix smiles

    [13:22] Wol Euler: it happens often enough that two strong projects (each of which had an enemy) will lose to a much weaker project that nobody hated
    [13:22] Wol Euler: lesser of evils
    [13:22] Korel Laloix has been accused of being determined and single minded
    [13:22] Wol Euler smiles.
    [13:23] Korel Laloix: I do tend to be bossy and overbearing if not limited in some ways.
    [13:23] Wol Euler: well, somebody has to get things done :)
    [13:24] Korel Laloix: Exactly.
    [13:24] Korel Laloix: I think that is one reason they keep me around.
    [13:24] Korel Laloix: But... I do have too much power for a 25 year old in a firm full of lawyers and CPAs..... lol
    [13:25] Wol Euler: hello aggers
    [13:25] Korel Laloix: And I like it... smiles
    [13:25] Wol Euler smiles.
    [13:25] Korel Laloix: Heya.
    [13:25] Wol Euler: as long as you only use your powers for The Good.
    [13:25] Agatha Macbeth: G'day :)
    [13:25] Wol Euler: well, as good as lawyers can be :)
    [13:25] Agatha Macbeth: Use the force Luke
    [13:25] Korel Laloix: I think I keep things moving at least.
    [13:25] Korel Laloix: lol


    [13:26] Korel Laloix: I still can't keep it straight... is Luke and hte like Star Wars or Trek?
    [13:26] Wol Euler: wars
    [13:26] Korel Laloix: OK.
    [13:26] Agatha Macbeth: He's dr Who's long lost love child
    [13:26] Wol Euler: heheheh
    [13:26] Agatha Macbeth: (alledgedly)
    [13:27] Korel Laloix: What?
    [13:27] Korel Laloix: How is?
    [13:27] Wol Euler: or his grandfather (time travel paradoxes and all that)
    [13:27] Korel Laloix: Who
    [13:27] Aurora Kitaj: hello Agatha
    [13:27] Wol Euler: (aurora is on text viewer, can't move or see us)
    [13:27] Agatha Macbeth: Wonder where the time traveller's wife comes in
    [13:27] Korel Laloix: I thought the Dr WHo stuff was a seperate thing.
    [13:27] Korel Laloix: That is in Star Wars as well?
    [13:28] Wol Euler: it is, she's pulling your leg
    [13:28] Korel Laloix: OH ... lol
    [13:28] Agatha Macbeth: Don't believe all you hear ;-)
    [13:28] Korel Laloix: I don't remember all I hear either evidently.
    [13:28] Agatha Macbeth: Sometimes, that is wise
    [13:28] Wol Euler nods.

    [13:28] Arisia Vita: Of all lies, the smoothest and most convincing is memory,
    [13:29] Agatha Macbeth: Damn lies and statistics
    [13:29] Korel Laloix: hmm... can you explain that a bit Arisia?
    [13:29] Korel Laloix: Statistics arnt lies, they are just drawn that way.
    [13:29] Agatha Macbeth: Tell that to Mark Twain
    [13:30] Agatha Macbeth: Oh you can't, he's dead
    [13:31] Wol Euler smiles at the Jessica Rabbit reference
    [13:31] Agatha Macbeth: Peter's sister?
    [13:32] Wol Euler: "who killed roger rabbit?" a cartoon/live actor mixed film from some years back
    [13:32] Agatha Macbeth: Bob Hoskins?
    [13:32] Wol Euler: that's the one!
    [13:32] Korel Laloix: He was in Star Wars as well I bet.
    [13:32] Wol Euler: heheheh
    [13:32] Agatha Macbeth: Yes, he played Yoda
    [13:32] Wol Euler: ha
    [13:32] Agatha Macbeth: Hello Eos

    [13:32] Korel Laloix: Bob Hoskins or Mark Twain played Yoda?
    [13:33] Agatha Macbeth: Maybe both
    [13:33] Wol Euler: hello eos

    [13:33] Aurora Kitaj: hello Eos

    [13:34] Korel Laloix: Funny enough, I am looking up Mark Twain.. and he was in an episode of STart Trek as a character.
    [13:35] Wol Euler: wow.

    [13:44] Korel Laloix: Just looking at your antlers... makes me think of the question.....
    [13:45] Korel Laloix: Is there dear hunting in SL?
    [13:45] Bruce Mowbray hopes not!
    [13:45] Zen Arado: it's cheap ;)
    [13:45] Korel Laloix: deer
    [13:46] Storm Nordwind: There's plenty of dear hunting, as I can testify. Not sure about deer hunting.
    [13:46] Agatha Macbeth: Deer oh deer
    [13:46] Korel Laloix: There is evidently SL fishing, but not hunting.
    [13:46] Wol Euler: it would surprise me if there weren't, sommewhere.....
    [13:46] Korel Laloix: lol
    [13:47] Korel Laloix: Well, yes, a lot of that kind of hunting... smiles
    [13:47] Agatha Macbeth dies from laughing....
    [13:47] Storm Nordwind needs to relog. brb
    [13:47] Korel Laloix: See you soon.
    [13:47] Agatha Macbeth: I still can't finish up under the fountain like Bruce does
    [13:47] Wol Euler: that takes natural talent
    [13:47] Agatha Macbeth: Indeed
    [13:47] Wol Euler: and perhaps blub helped
    [13:48] Agatha Macbeth: Yeh
    [13:48] Agatha Macbeth: A fishy tale
    [13:48] Zen Arado: blub aid
    [13:48] Arisia Vita: wb Storm

    [13:48] Zen Arado: sad about Robin Gibb
    [13:48] Zen Arado: only 62
    [13:49] Storm Nordwind: Thank you
    [13:49] Agatha Macbeth: Is he dead?
    [13:49] Zen Arado: yes
    [13:49] Storm Nordwind: Still a young man
    [13:49] Zen Arado: cancer
    [13:49] Wol Euler: mmhmm
    [13:49] Korel Laloix is looking up Robin Gibb.
    [13:49] Agatha Macbeth: So, only one left now?
    [13:49] Wol Euler: oh no :)
    [13:49] Wol Euler laughs.
    [13:49] Zen Arado: Maurice died at 53
    [13:49] Storm Nordwind: Yup
    [13:49] Wol Euler: bad genes, or unlucky
    [13:49] Zen Arado: Bee Gees
    [13:49] Agatha Macbeth: I'm pretty sure their mother is still alive
    [13:49] Storm Nordwind: Or just Bee Gee now
    [13:49] Zen Arado: he was a vegetarian teetotaller
    [13:49] Zen Arado: be warned :)
    [13:49] Agatha Macbeth: Imagine outliving three of your kids
    [13:50] Korel Laloix resists making hatefull comments about disco and disco "musicians"
    [13:50] Agatha Macbeth: Poor woman
    [13:50] Storm Nordwind: one is enough
    [13:50] Wol Euler nods.
    [13:50] Zen Arado: oh I like ...him
    [13:50] Zen Arado: they lasted a long time
    [13:50] Wol Euler nods.
    [13:50] Zen Arado: 5 decades
    [13:50] Wol Euler: wrote some great songs
    [13:51] Agatha Macbeth: I like their earlier stuff better
    [13:51] Zen Arado: yes
    [13:51] Bruce Mowbray hums, "Staying Alive, Staying Alive"
    [13:51] Wol Euler smiles.
    [13:51] Zen Arado: it didn't work :)
    [13:51] Agatha Macbeth: I didn't like it as much after they went disco-ey
    [13:52] Zen Arado: likes the disco stuff

    [13:52] Storm Nordwind realizes he's playing the riff for "Stayin' alive" on air guitar... which is kind of ironic now :-/
    [13:52] Agatha Macbeth: Nah, pas pour moi
    [13:52] Wol Euler: heheheh
    [13:52] Eos Amaterasu hums staying alive, while still alive
    [13:52] Agatha Macbeth: Indeed
    [13:52] Bruce Mowbray: best time to do that, Eos.
    [13:52] Eos Amaterasu: every moment a living wake
    [13:52] Korel Laloix: Unfortunatly, I think I actually know that song.
    [13:52] Zen Arado: and Donna Summer too
    [13:52] Bleu Oleander tries to picture Storm on air guitar
    [13:52] Wol Euler: hard not to, it's such a classic
    [13:53] Agatha Macbeth: She was in the bee gees?
    [13:53] Korel Laloix: Please pass the mind bleach.
    [13:53] Eos Amaterasu: she was disco goddess
    [13:53] Storm Nordwind: Sorry Blue... I only have pictures of me on real guitar!
    [13:53] Agatha Macbeth: Hmm
    [13:53] Bruce Mowbray: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcPdzsL0kMQ
    [13:53] Zen Arado: worrying all these young people dying
    [13:53] Agatha Macbeth: 62 is young?
    [13:53] Zen Arado: to me yes :)
    [13:53] Agatha Macbeth: Ah, right
    [13:54] Korel Laloix: IF that is young, what am I?
    [13:54] Storm Nordwind: growing
    [13:54] Bleu Oleander: to anyone 62 or older its young!
    [13:54] Wol Euler nods.
    [13:54] Bruce Mowbray: alas, and what am I?
    [13:54] Agatha Macbeth: It's the poor buggers who never even make 30 I feel sorry for
    [13:54] Korel Laloix: I wish.
    [13:54] Zen Arado: he he
    [13:54] Wol Euler: seriously, I thought they'd be much older than that.
    [13:54] Bruce Mowbray just booked his 70th birthday celebration vacation.
    [13:55] Agatha Macbeth: Go for it brucie
    [13:55] Bruce Mowbray: YAYYYY!
    [13:55] Wol Euler: rain, gotta close some windows, brb
    [13:55] Agatha Macbeth: Don't forget to take Blub with you
    [13:55] Bleu Oleander: 70 is young right Bruce?
    [13:55] Korel Laloix: Wow.. almost three times my age...

    [13:55] Bruce Mowbray: Young at heart, as they say.
    [13:55] Korel Laloix smiles
    [13:55] Bruce Mowbray: ;-)
    [13:55] Zen Arado: only next year for me too
    [13:55] Bruce Mowbray: It can be done, Kori!
    [13:56] Bleu Oleander: age is a state of mind
    [13:56] Zen Arado: feels the walls close in
    [13:56] Bruce Mowbray feels the walls expanding . . .
    [13:56] Agatha Macbeth: Stormy weather
    [13:56] Bleu Oleander: what walls?
    [13:56] Zen Arado: wonders why he is typing manually after being at a voice typing seminar
    [13:56] Storm Nordwind can't feel the walls
    [13:56] Bruce Mowbray: heh heh. . .
    [13:56] Agatha Macbeth: Walls have ears
    [13:57] Storm Nordwind: Walls have ice cream ;)
    [13:57] Agatha Macbeth: makes a change from susages
    [13:57] Wol Euler: boom boom
    [13:57] Storm Nordwind plays a rimshot
    [13:57] Agatha Macbeth ducks
    [13:57] Korel Laloix: The wall have sausages?
    [13:57] Storm Nordwind: UK company Korel
    [13:57] Agatha Macbeth: Another brick in the wall
    [13:58] Korel Laloix: Now that I know... Pink FLoyd...
    [13:58] Agatha Macbeth: Yay
    [13:58] Bruce Mowbray: just a reminder that there are still f available pedestals in the Dome for your Art of Being in Motion projects.
    [13:58] Wol Euler smiles.
    [13:58] Agatha Macbeth: Thx Bleu
    [13:58] Bruce Mowbray: lots of available*
    [13:58] Zen Arado: I have an idea
    [13:58] Bleu Oleander: nice segue Bruce
    [13:58] Zen Arado: but it's so obvious everyone else will have thought of it
    [13:58] Korel Laloix: Sausages in motion.
    [13:58] Bruce Mowbray: ;-)
    [13:58] Zen Arado: he he
    [13:58] Wol Euler: hehehe
    [13:58] Agatha Macbeth: Interesting concept
    [13:58] Wol Euler: go for it.
    [13:58] Bleu Oleander: just do it
    [13:59] Storm Nordwind: I shall be handing out shades for visitors to the Art Dome

    [13:59] Zen Arado: I better do it quick and case someone else thinks of it although it's pretty obvious
    [13:59] Agatha Macbeth: Is it bright in there?
    [13:59] Zen Arado: in the case
    [13:59] Storm Nordwind: Getting brighter
    [13:59] Korel Laloix: What is obvious?
    [13:59] Agatha Macbeth: Aha
    [13:59] Zen Arado: my project
    [13:59] Bruce Mowbray checked ticket price for Indiannapolis, Indiana, concert of the Wall in June --- WHOA! Over $100 USD per ticket. cheaper to go to Arizona.
    [14:00] Zen Arado: isn't that cheap Bruce?
    [14:00] Agatha Macbeth: Especially if you walk
    [14:00] Bleu Oleander: are you calling Arizona cheap?
    [14:00] Zen Arado: :-)
    [14:00] Agatha Macbeth: Cheap cheap
    [14:00] Bleu Oleander: 108 here today
    [14:01] Agatha Macbeth: You must have a big house
    [14:01] Zen Arado: :)
    [14:01] Bruce Mowbray thinks, should have said "lss expensive."
    [14:01] Bleu Oleander: ty
    [14:01] Bruce Mowbray: or even "less" expensiove.
    [14:01] Agatha Macbeth: Or even less expensive
    [14:01] Bruce Mowbray: yeah, that too.
    [14:01] Eos Amaterasu: (eos silently leaves)
    [14:01] Agatha Macbeth nods
    [14:01] Bleu Oleander: bye Eos
    [14:01] Agatha Macbeth: Be careful out there E
    [14:01] Zen Arado: silently waves
    [14:01] Eos Amaterasu: (bye all...)
    [14:02] Bruce Mowbray: Bye, Eos!
    [14:02] Storm Nordwind silently waves to the silent leaver
    [14:02] Agatha Macbeth: Mind the bears
    [14:02] Wol Euler: be eos
    [14:02] Wol Euler: *bye

    [14:02] Bleu Oleander: don't see the walls or the bears ... need a new viewer
    [14:02] Agatha Macbeth: So do LL
    [14:03] Storm Nordwind chuckles
    [14:03] Zen Arado: try voice typing in Phoenix
    [14:03] Agatha Macbeth: Bruce will in six months
    [14:03] Bruce Mowbray hopes Wol will send rain this way -- our new corn crop needs watering.
    [14:04] Agatha Macbeth: Storm can send some
    [14:04] Bruce Mowbray: cool!
    [14:04] Storm Nordwind: We need ours!
    [14:04] Wol Euler makes "shoo, go away" gestures to the rain
    [14:04] Agatha Macbeth: Or Wol
    [14:04] Bruce Mowbray: shoo in this direction please, Wol.
    [14:04] Storm Nordwind: It's Spring. It's our only rainy season.
    [14:05] Agatha Macbeth: Oh dear
    [14:05] Wol Euler points to the westsouthwest. That way!
    [14:05] Agatha Macbeth: Do the clouds have trouble getting over the mountains?
    [14:05] Wol Euler: indeed they do, hence the rainforest on one side and near-desert on the other
    [14:05] Agatha Macbeth: Ah
    [14:06] Agatha Macbeth: Rain shadow
    [14:06] Wol Euler: exactly
    [14:06] Storm Nordwind: Warmer on the leeward side
    [14:06] Agatha Macbeth: Mmm
    [14:06] Storm Nordwind: Fohn effect
    [14:06] Wol Euler nods.
    [14:06] Agatha Macbeth answers the Fohn
    [14:06] Zen Arado: meteorology experts
    [14:06] Wol Euler: heheh
    [14:06] Agatha Macbeth: The whether men
    [14:07] Storm Nordwind: Pronounced 'fern' :)
    [14:07] Zen Arado: or is that about meteors?
    [14:07] Storm Nordwind: With no post-vocalic 'r'
    [14:07] Agatha Macbeth: Do you ave a license for your minkey?
    [14:07] Wol Euler laughs.
    [14:07] Agatha Macbeth: I ave a burm in my and
    [14:08] Agatha Macbeth is in a silly mood

    [14:09] Agatha Macbeth: I like bruce's menagerie
    [14:09] Bruce Mowbray hopes that was a rain dance.
    [14:11] Wol Euler: hello korii, haven't seen you in a while
    [14:11] Bruce Mowbray: Hey, Korii.
    [14:12] Bleu Oleander: hi Korii

    [14:13] Korel Laloix: We are spreading.
    [14:13] Korii Tiger laughs
    [14:13] Korii Tiger grins
    [14:13] Korii Tiger: what you think Ari?
    [14:13] Korel Laloix: One day, we will rule PaB.

    [14:13] Korii Tiger: lol

    [14:14] Korel Laloix: You two looking nice together.
    [14:14] Korii Tiger smiles
    [14:14] Korii Tiger: i'm Ari's Angel.

    [14:20] Wol Euler: you explain, boxy :)
    [14:20] Alfred Kelberry: i was rather shocked to learn that canada stayed a british dominion until the 30s
    [14:21] Agatha Macbeth: I think they were too
    [14:21] Alfred Kelberry: kori, er... the old monarch thing inherited from britain
    [14:21] Agatha Macbeth: Thorn of crowns

    [14:29] Alfred Kelberry: i'll stay as is
    [14:29] Storm Nordwind: I don't think you can rebake attachments can you?
    [14:29] Agatha Macbeth: Dunno
    [14:29] Alfred Kelberry: i let time fix that
    [14:29] Agatha Macbeth: All greek to me
    [14:30] Alfred Kelberry: zen, do you speak irish?
    [14:31] Agatha Macbeth: Bejasus
    [14:31] Zen Arado: nope
    [14:31] Storm Nordwind: You mean Gaelic?
    [14:31] Zen Arado: that either
    [14:32] Zen Arado: I was brought up in the Protestant tradition
    [14:32] Alfred Kelberry: is it odd to imagine that a person from ireland would most likely speak irish?
    [14:32] Zen Arado: and they don't teach Irish in the schools
    [14:32] Zen Arado: in Catholic schools they do
    [14:32] Zen Arado: I am more British than Irish
    [14:32] Korel Laloix: Take care all.
    [14:32] Zen Arado: the North of Ireland is part of Britain
    [14:33] Korel Laloix: Thanks for the chat.
    [14:33] Zen Arado: bye Korel
    [14:33] Agatha Macbeth: Bye for now
    [14:33] Storm Nordwind: I thought that Northern Ireland was part of the UK, not Britain. ?
    [14:33] Zen Arado: yeah okay whatever :)
    [14:33] Storm Nordwind chuckles
    [14:34] Zen Arado: Great Britain?
    [14:34] Zen Arado: Never was good at geography
    [14:34] Storm Nordwind: The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. It used to say that on passports
    [14:34] Zen Arado: Ah yes
    [14:34] Zen Arado: I could get an Irish passport too
    [14:35] Zen Arado: many Americans don't realise the difference between the North and South of Ireland
    [14:35] Zen Arado: they are two different countries really
    [14:35] Zen Arado: different currencies
    [14:36] Alfred Kelberry: so, when i think of ira it's what ireland?
    [14:36] Zen Arado: the Irish Republican Army want Ireland to be united again
    [14:37] Alfred Kelberry: a fair wish
    [14:37] Zen Arado: but many of us don't want that
    [14:37] Storm Nordwind: It's the Republic of Ireland - Eire - that's to the south of Northern Ireland
    [14:37] Zen Arado: I prefer to be British
    [14:37] Alfred Kelberry: why?
    [14:37] Zen Arado: because I am British
    [14:37] Zen Arado: it's the way I think of myself
    [14:37] Alfred Kelberry: ah
    [14:38] Zen Arado: and the Republic of Ireland has had financial troubles
    [14:38] Zen Arado: although they went through a boom time
    [14:38] Alfred Kelberry: so, most people in northen ireland would rather stay british?
    [14:38] Zen Arado: I wouldn't say that
    [14:38] Zen Arado: but most Protestants would
    [14:39] Zen Arado: that's why there was all the trouble here
    [14:39] Alfred Kelberry: yea
    [14:39] Zen Arado: the troubled stems a lot from the English plantation hundreds of years ago
    [14:40] Zen Arado: the English gave land in Ireland to favoured people
    [14:40] Zen Arado: they just took it off the peasants
    [14:40] Alfred Kelberry: yes, a usual colonial tactics
    [14:41] Zen Arado: perhaps the long-lasting solution would be a united Ireland
    [14:41] Zen Arado: but there are fierce loyalists in the North
    [14:41] Zen Arado: Orangemen and such who would strongly resist that
    [14:42] Storm Nordwind: Tribal memory lasts a long time
    [14:42] Alfred Kelberry: is it rather calm there these days? never hear of ira in the news
    [14:42] Zen Arado: there are still dissident republicans who tried to bomb places
    [14:42] Zen Arado: but really the crime rate is much lower than many big US cities
    [14:42] Alfred Kelberry: good :)
    [14:43] Zen Arado: Belfast is actually quite a safe city
    [14:43] Alfred Kelberry: probably a question to storm... what are all the recent talks about scotland breaking away from the uk?
    [14:44] Alfred Kelberry: any real basis to that?
    [14:44] Storm Nordwind: Sure
    [14:44] Zen Arado: the Scottish Nationalist party want devolution
    [14:44] Storm Nordwind: There's a political force to do that
    [14:44] Zen Arado: I think they are going to have a referendum
    [14:45] Storm Nordwind: The SNP is probably one of the more respectable nationalist parties :)
    [14:45] Alfred Kelberry: how come, storm?
    [14:45] Storm Nordwind: how come what boxy?
    [14:45] Alfred Kelberry: snp most respectable
    [14:45] Storm Nordwind: more
    [14:46] Alfred Kelberry: you mean in a sense that they don't blow up stuff, etc?
    [14:46] Storm Nordwind: They are a political force with good policies. A real people's party, not a lunatic fringe
    [14:46] Zen Arado: Scotland has a large of wealth from oil and gas but that is running out now
    [14:46] Storm Nordwind: I used to vote for them when I lived there
    [14:46] Alfred Kelberry: ah, good
    [14:46] Zen Arado: University education is still free in Scotland
    [14:47] Alfred Kelberry: zen, what about out shore?
    [14:47] Alfred Kelberry: i hear there are many more
    [14:47] Zen Arado: that's what I mean offshore
    [14:47] Zen Arado: they find gas in the Irish Sea
    [14:47] Alfred Kelberry: zen, re: uni - very cool
    [14:47] Zen Arado: but they have to do that fracking business
    [14:48] Zen Arado: and nobody wants that
    [14:48] Zen Arado: they had earth tremors already just doing tests
    [14:48] Storm Nordwind is amused how the names of seas change over the decades
    [14:48] Alfred Kelberry: heh, tell more, storm :)
    [14:48] Alfred Kelberry: i like geographic history
    [14:48] Storm Nordwind: I'll just tell you one... then I must go...
    [14:49] Storm Nordwind: if you look on old English atlases, you'll find something called "The German Ocean"
    [14:49] Storm Nordwind: After WWI it was no longer politically acceptable to call it that
    [14:49] Alfred Kelberry: :)
    [14:49] Storm Nordwind: So it was renamed to "The North Sea"
    [14:50] Zen Arado: :-)
    [14:50] Alfred Kelberry: thanks
    [14:50] Storm Nordwind: Nice to see you :)
    [14:50] Zen Arado: interesting conversation
    [14:50] Zen Arado: byee
    [14:50] Storm Nordwind will take the new train ;)
    [14:50] Alfred Kelberry: new! again? :)
