Aphrodite Macbain: It would be wonderful if you could come- even for a few days
Mickorod Renard: wow thanks
Aphrodite Macbain: we have a place with 4 beds
Mickorod Renard: I would have to peek at my timetable
Mickorod Renard: well, as usual I am often non commital
Aphrodite Macbain: nods
Aphrodite Macbain: well, whoever gets the beds first...
Mickorod Renard: however, if I can sneak over for a long weekend I will
Mickorod Renard: and if needs be I will find a hotel
Aphrodite Macbain: yes! - like Friday28 to Sun Sep 30
Mickorod Renard: yes
Aphrodite Macbain: How long would it take to fly?
  --BELL--1300
Aphrodite Macbain: 2 hrs max?
Mickorod Renard: some weeks I get an extra day off
Mickorod Renard: its only about 3 hours
Mickorod Renard: maybe only that
Aphrodite Macbain: do you go through a local airport or do you have to go to Heathrow?
Mickorod Renard: the longest bit is at the airport and en route
Aphrodite Macbain: always!
Aphrodite Macbain: Hiya aggers
Mickorod Renard: I have options,,and also diferent prices
Mickorod Renard: Hi Ags
Mickorod Renard: I prefer british Airways
Aphrodite Macbain: well let me know soon and I'll send you the info
Mickorod Renard: so heathrow may be my choice, and its not thet inconvenient either
Aphrodite Macbain: I gather Ryan is cheap but not very nice
Mickorod Renard: thanks
Aphrodite Macbain: yw
Agatha Macbeth: Hello Mick and Aph
Wol Euler: evening all
Aphrodite Macbain: Hi Wol
Agatha Macbeth: and Wollie ♥
Aphrodite Macbain: grins
Mickorod Renard: Ryan air is horrid, but often the convenient and cheapest
Aphrodite Macbain: is very happy
Mickorod Renard: Hi wol
Agatha Macbeth: Have you been demoted Aph?

Aph is no longer a Lady  it seems :(
Aphrodite Macbain: yes- I demoted myself
Agatha Macbeth: Aww
Mickorod Renard: Hi storm
Agatha Macbeth: Shame
Aphrodite Macbain: I decided I didn'tlike being called a Lady!
Agatha Macbeth: But you are a lady :p
Wol Euler chuckles.
Aphrodite Macbain: Hi Stormie
Agatha Macbeth: Hi Stormy
Wol Euler: hello stomr
Wol Euler: *storm
Aphrodite Macbain: aww.
Storm Nordwind: Hi
Storm Nordwind: I called her "Your Ladyship"
Aphrodite Macbain: yes- that was strange..
Wol Euler: well, that would do it :)
Agatha Macbeth: Hehe
Aphrodite Macbain: it did!
Aphrodite Macbain: The RP-ing world is a complicated one.
Storm Nordwind: I debated whether to say "My Lady" or "M'lady" and thought that was too possessive
Aphrodite Macbain: I realize I prefer one identity to multi
Agatha Macbeth: I know virtually nothing about it
Aphrodite Macbain: too possellive :-D
Aphrodite Macbain: I only know it virtually
Wol Euler: and you aren't old enough :)
Wol Euler: (storm)
Mickorod Renard: always reminds me of that stones song, lady jane
Aphrodite Macbain: oh, :-( I thought you were talking to me Wol
Agatha Macbeth remembers it well
Wol Euler: heheh, british TV in-joke probably
Aphrodite Macbain: ah yes
Agatha Macbeth: Excuse me a mo, I'm going to switch viewer
Aphrodite Macbain: byee
Mickorod Renard: wheres she gone?
Aphrodite Macbain: changig her clothes
Mickorod Renard: ahh
Aphrodite Macbain: *changing
Wol Euler: erm, her viewer
Mickorod Renard: need a hand with a zip or anything?
Wol Euler: had to log off for that
Aphrodite Macbain: kidding
Wol Euler: sorry :)
Mickorod Renard: anymore natural climatical disasters Storm?,,where you now live?
Storm Nordwind: Thankfully not. We can just hope that political disasters don't follow in their wake!
Wol Euler: heh
Mickorod Renard: he he
Mickorod Renard: how bout you Ags, have u avoided the floods?
Aphrodite Macbain: noone has control of them
Agatha Macbeth: I think political disasters can be relied upon more than natural ones
Wol Euler: really, I wonder what Romney would have to do to get the republican voters against him
Wol Euler: murder a few dozen children perhaps
Agatha Macbeth: Yes, wet but not flooded
Mickorod Renard: great
Wol Euler: nothing short of that seems to interset the public

It seems that Wol, like me, can't type 'interest'!  Ah, I just did....anyway....
Storm Nordwind: That's easy Wol. Say the same thing two days running.
Mickorod Renard: ha ha
Agatha Macbeth: Ha
Wol Euler: perhaps that#s it
Aphrodite Macbain: I think the republicans would probably be voting against Obama rather than voting for Romney
Storm Nordwind: They don't call him the King of Flip-flops for nothing (and we're not talking footwear or computer components)
Wol Euler: they are so used to being lied to that they don't think it matters
Agatha Macbeth: They should just bring Nixon back and have done with it
Storm Nordwind faints
Aphrodite Macbain: aak
Mickorod Renard: well, maybe knowing ur being lied to is more trust invoking than thinking that you may be being lied to
Wol Euler snorts.
Wol Euler: hello korel
Agatha Macbeth: What do we not believe and when do we not believe it...
Agatha Macbeth: Osiyo K
Storm Nordwind waves
Aphrodite Macbain: Hey Kori
Mickorod Renard: Hi Korel
Korel Laloix: Heya
Korel Laloix: Way lagged
Aphrodite Macbain: How would you know if yur being lied to?
Storm Nordwind: In politics, that's easy
Wol Euler: "are his lips moving?"
Storm Nordwind: Your hear a noise like talking
Mickorod Renard: he he
  --BELL--(1315)
Agatha Macbeth nods
Aphrodite Macbain: lol
Agatha Macbeth: (Arababe!)
arabella Ella: Hiya everyone!
Wol Euler: hello ara
Aphrodite Macbain waves at arabella
Storm Nordwind: Hi ara
Agatha Macbeth: Warm enough today?
Mickorod Renard: the problem is,,we failed to include the word politics in the same description for lying,,so we still think it means something diferent
arabella Ella: feels like livin in a real hot sauna cant breathe eat or whatever!
Aphrodite Macbain: politics=lying. QED
Agatha Macbeth: Aww
Aphrodite Macbain: How hot is it ara?
arabella Ella: it went past 40 celsius today for sure
Aphrodite Macbain: argh
Agatha Macbeth: Dear God
Aphrodite Macbain: that's about 100F
arabella Ella: was 38 at midday in the shade
Wol Euler: wow
Agatha Macbeth: I think I'll stick with the rain
Storm Nordwind: 40 is 104
arabella Ella: cant take much more
Aphrodite Macbain: OK OK 104
Aphrodite Macbain: Hope you have airconditioning
Agatha Macbeth: Any advance on 104?
Aphrodite Macbain: or at leasta pool
Storm Nordwind: I get it here several times every summer. Today is a cool 90
Mickorod Renard: hang on in there Ara,,i'm comming
Agatha Macbeth: Going going gone
Wol Euler: 22 in stuttgart today
Aphrodite Macbain: nice
Wol Euler: and rainy/grey
Storm Nordwind: 90=32
Aphrodite Macbain: same as vancouver
Wol Euler: forecast for next six days: same
Agatha Macbeth: That's warm enough for me
Mickorod Renard: I saw the sun today
Aphrodite Macbain: lol
Mickorod Renard: it was still there
Agatha Macbeth: Yes, same sun as in Vancouver :p
Aphrodite Macbain: just less of it?
Agatha Macbeth: Probably
Agatha Macbeth: We are good at clouds here
Storm Nordwind chuckles
Aphrodite Macbain: As long as I can sleep at night, I can deal with the heat
arabella Ella: I dont like aircon as the contrast is then too stark outdoors and i dont have a pool or much time for beach
Mickorod Renard: yes, I had some wonderful clouds today
arabella Ella: pls send over some clouds mick asap!
Wol Euler: many people don't know this, but AC need not be running at 100% all the time
Agatha Macbeth: Do a rain dance
Mickorod Renard: yes, i used to spend lots of time in malls just to escape the heat
Wol Euler: it can be used to get say 2 degrees below outside, and slightly less humid, that#s enough
Storm Nordwind: Rain dance = a lot of karma
Wol Euler: need not be so cold that you need a sweater
arabella Ella: i realise that Wol but i still find aircon totally artificial and in places where one does not have control on the temp well then it is more difficult
Mickorod Renard: I will remember that Wol for when I visit somewhere warm
arabella Ella: but i guess i dont like aircon as it was not around until just a few years back
Wol Euler: tell it to your hosts, mick and ara
arabella Ella: will do so Wol thanks!
Storm Nordwind: You can all visit here - though you might find the altitude and the UV a little much to get used to
arabella Ella: brb
Mickorod Renard: thanks Storm
Agatha Macbeth: Argh, not UV please
arabella Ella: thanks Storm i'm TP-ing over now
Mickorod Renard: just looking up flights
Aphrodite Macbain: how high are u storm?
Storm Nordwind: in feet or meters
Storm Nordwind: ?
Aphrodite Macbain: either
Storm Nordwind: WHere I am 5600ft or 1700m
Aphrodite Macbain: more than a mile high?
Storm Nordwind: yes
Storm Nordwind: Denver is called Mile High City
Storm Nordwind: But that's the center
Storm Nordwind: some of the outer parts are higher
Aphrodite Macbain: nods. Banff was a mile high and it always took a day or so to adjust
arabella Ella: back
Mickorod Renard: wb
Storm Nordwind: The nearest mountains - fairly close - are over 14,000ft
Storm Nordwind: You can drive to the top of the nearest one
Aphrodite Macbain: That's cheating
Agatha Macbeth: Or fly
Aphrodite Macbain: :-)
Storm Nordwind: It's sensible!
Wol Euler: heheh
Aphrodite Macbain: nods yes. true
Aphrodite Macbain: depends whether you want to brag or not
Mickorod Renard: I was astounded at the sleepiness feeling of altitude
arabella Ella: is there any way to combat altitude besides rest and taking it easy storm?
Aphrodite Macbain: I was in La Paz, Bolivia at 13,000 feet. I got such a headache!
Storm Nordwind: hum... time is the only way i know
Aphrodite Macbain: Drink coca tea
Mickorod Renard: yea
Agatha Macbeth: Imagin what the top of Everest is like
Wol Euler: cold
Wol Euler: crowded
Wol Euler: littered
Agatha Macbeth: And the rest
Aphrodite Macbain: Bolivians have huge barrell chests
Mickorod Renard: I went up to jompsom,,in the anapurnas
Storm Nordwind: Do not under any circumstances drink alcohol till you're acclimatized (= weeks)
Mickorod Renard: it nearly wiped me out
Aphrodite Macbain: I can imagine Mick
Storm Nordwind: Your body needs time to make extra red blood cells
Aphrodite Macbain: Sad about the littered aspect
arabella Ella: scuse my ignorance but what is coca tea?
Aphrodite Macbain: made from coca leaves-what's in cocacola as a stimulant
Storm Nordwind: was
  --BELL--1330
Storm Nordwind: is not
Aphrodite Macbain: yes
arabella Ella: and if thge body needs more red blood cells does iron tablets help?
Aphrodite Macbain: but u can still buy coca leaves. Bolivians chew them all the time
Mickorod Renard: does that raise ur pulse?
Aphrodite Macbain: It takes a while for the body to make new red blood cells.
Storm Nordwind: I imagine lack of iron would slow down acclimatization. If you have a normal diet i doubt extra iron would speed it up
Agatha Macbeth: Like Ara's legs? :p
Wol Euler cheers!
Wol Euler chuckles.
arabella Ella: my legs?
Wol Euler: better
arabella Ella: eh?
Agatha Macbeth: They raise the pulse...
arabella Ella: he he
Aphrodite Macbain: It's about processing the oxygen. If u dont have enough oxygen in your blood you go wonky
arabella Ella: now what on earth may have planted that idea in aggers head?
Agatha Macbeth: Is that hypoxy?
Storm Nordwind: And starting from a base of great wonkiness, I needed a lot of time!
Agatha Macbeth: Whoa
Aphrodite Macbain: :-)
Aphrodite Macbain: what did Aggers say?
Mickorod Renard: hypoxy, isnt that what politians suffer from?
Agatha Macbeth: Hypocrisy Mick
arabella Ella: sounds like hypocracy to me
Aphrodite Macbain: tht's why they lie. they lack oxygen in their brains
Mickorod Renard: ahh
Agatha Macbeth: There ya go, had to be an explanation
Aphrodite Macbain: and other things as well
Aphrodite Macbain: like brains
Storm Nordwind: Except the Denverites. When they go to Washington, they have extra oxygen to compensate
Wol Euler: do they feel giddy all the time?
Agatha Macbeth: Just as well perhaps
Aphrodite Macbain: :-) what are Denverite politicians like?
Storm Nordwind: Well one of them got me here, so I'm grateful
Aphrodite Macbain: got you where?
Storm Nordwind: Into the US
Aphrodite Macbain: he personallygot you there?
Storm Nordwind: she did
Wol Euler: in her suitcase
Wol Euler: with airholes
Wol Euler: and sandwiches
Aphrodite Macbain: did you jump the queue?
Storm Nordwind: yum
Agatha Macbeth: Big suitcase
Storm Nordwind: no
Aphrodite Macbain: ha wheels tho
Storm Nordwind: didn't jump the queue
Agatha Macbeth: I remember Man in a Suitcase
Storm Nordwind: But if you want a boring story i could tell you
Aphrodite Macbain: Just wonder what they did to help
Wol Euler: no bigger than some I have seen, storm.
Wol Euler: amazing what people think htey need for a 2 week holiday
Aphrodite Macbain: lol
Storm Nordwind: What she did was this...
Agatha Macbeth: 'Excuse me sir, you have a man in your luggage'
Storm Nordwind: The US Embassy is the place you apply for your visa
Aphrodite Macbain: :-) @aggers
Storm Nordwind: And after you've applied they don't let you contact them about problems or progress
Aphrodite Macbain: nods
Storm Nordwind: You just go for an interview when you're summoned
Aphrodite Macbain: yikes
Storm Nordwind: which can take at least 9 months to happen
Storm Nordwind: So my interview was expected
Storm Nordwind: But word never came
Storm Nordwind: And I couldn't contact them because...
Storm Nordwind: if you do...
Aphrodite Macbain: were you married by then?
Storm Nordwind: they threaten to destroy your application
Storm Nordwind: No
Wol Euler: pah
Storm Nordwind: This was for a fiancee visa
Mickorod Renard: yikes
arabella Ella: sounds very democratic process storm!
Storm Nordwind: Your lawyer is not allowed to contact them either
Aphrodite Macbain: you got married to yr visa?
Agatha Macbeth: Now I know why the Mexicans just swim there, it's easier
Wol Euler laughs.
Aphrodite Macbain: lol
Storm Nordwind: So my fiancee asked her lawyer what to do
Storm Nordwind: She she told her to go to our local rep at the House of Representatives
Mickorod Renard: let me guess,,find a good liar?
Storm Nordwind: Because they have ways of contacting embassies that Jo Common does not have
Aphrodite Macbain: Mick!
Aphrodite Macbain: back door stuff
Mickorod Renard: oops,,sorry was still thinking of politicians
Storm Nordwind: So within a few days the House Rep has had an obsequious response from someone high up at London embassy
Storm Nordwind: and we were forwarded it
Storm Nordwind: Saying the interview had been arranged two month prior
Storm Nordwind: and I can't have got the letter
Aphrodite Macbain: !!
Wol Euler: what?!
Aphrodite Macbain: good trick.

(Think I've heard that one before somewhere....)
arabella Ella: he he
Storm Nordwind: Not finished yet!... ;)
Agatha Macbeth: Beaurocrats eh?
Wol Euler: of course
Aphrodite Macbain: lies
arabella Ella listens attentively
Wol Euler: "misstatements"
Storm Nordwind: So they said they'd arrange a new one and said they'd send a new invitation
Storm Nordwind: The new invitation came...
Storm Nordwind: duplicated (they sent two, just in case)...
Storm Nordwind: but guess what...
Storm Nordwind: :))
Aphrodite Macbain: ?
Mickorod Renard: thats good
Storm Nordwind: They used second class mail!!!!
Aphrodite Macbain: omg
Agatha Macbeth: Good grief
Wol Euler: so it arrived tied to the rear leg of a frog?
Storm Nordwind: A lame frog
Agatha Macbeth: Ribbit
arabella Ella: gave you two days notice?
Aphrodite Macbain: falls over laughing
Storm Nordwind: Which had got run over on the first try
Wol Euler nods.
Wol Euler: I doubt if any other country in the world still has first and second class mail
Storm Nordwind: Actually - fair dos... the people at the embassy are just top class - they're wonderful
Agatha Macbeth: Or first and second class citizens
Storm Nordwind: But they're very overworked and very unresourced
Aphrodite Macbain: even the concept of second class is outdated
Wol Euler nods to storm
Aphrodite Macbain: nods- saving taxpayers money...
Storm Nordwind: If their budget was tripled, say - for Homeland stuff in general - I suspect there'd be far less problems
Aphrodite Macbain: perhaps
Storm Nordwind: But taxes are a sticky thing in the US sadly
Aphrodite Macbain: noone want to pay more taxes
Aphrodite Macbain: but complain of bad service
  --BELL--1345
Storm Nordwind: They haven't really taken on board - or believe - that the most highly taxed 1st world nation is also the happiest
Aphrodite Macbain: sweden?
Storm Nordwind: nope
Storm Nordwind: close though
arabella Ella: denmark?
Storm Nordwind: yup
Aphrodite Macbain: newfoundland too :-)
arabella Ella: but my country is often listed as the appiest - in spite of the heat!
arabella Ella: happiest
Aphrodite Macbain: really?
arabella Ella: lost my aich there
Storm Nordwind chuckles
arabella Ella: yes
Agatha Macbeth: Ere ere
Wol Euler: oooo enery iggens
arabella Ella: he he
Aphrodite Macbain: what are the criteria for being happy?
arabella Ella: or
arabella Ella: e e
arabella Ella: well speaking for this country
arabella Ella: we can never have long commutes to work and back
Storm Nordwind: Don't ask me Aph, ask the anthropologists who supply governments with the data
arabella Ella: we have strong family support systems
arabella Ella: we have religion to help us out when we have 'problems'
Mickorod Renard: and cheap alchohol
arabella Ella: we have clear blue sea and clear blue sky most of the year
arabella Ella: we dont need alcohol that is for the silly tourists
Aphrodite Macbain: I just saw something flying that looked like a train.Does the RR fly now Storm?
Wol Euler grins.
arabella Ella: we know how to be happy without alcohol
Aphrodite Macbain: lsd?
arabella Ella: and anyway ...
arabella Ella: since this is a catholic country
Agatha Macbeth: 0.0
Storm Nordwind: @Aph The NDR appears to be running OK
arabella Ella: most kids grow up with some form of alcohol around them for celebrations so it is never looked at as forbidden fruit
arabella Ella: as it is in protestant countries
arabella Ella: like the UK
Aphrodite Macbain: Isn't there also a large Muslim population there?
arabella Ella: very small muslim population here Aph apart from close to 2K refugees from africa
Aphrodite Macbain: wow.
Aphrodite Macbain: where from?
Mickorod Renard: england?
arabella Ella: oppressed areas in africa including somalia, congo, ethopia, etc.
Aphrodite Macbain: nods. It's like that in Italy too- especially Venice I gather
Mickorod Renard: barnsley
arabella Ella: many africans risk their lives escaping to europe, some end up on this lil isle
Agatha Macbeth: Hard to think of anywhere in Africa that*isn't* oppressed
arabella Ella: many die during the journey
Aphrodite Macbain: nice place toend up
Aphrodite Macbain: How do they survive?
arabella Ella: well italy can spread them around the place as most end up in detention centres initially
arabella Ella: but in italy many escape to france or germany or england
Aphrodite Macbain: an important challenge for the EU-
arabella Ella: it is of course easier to escape from somewhere on mainland rather than on a lil isle
arabella Ella: we sometimes get offers from places like sweden or netherlands or USA to send 10 or so refugees there but that is just a drop in the ocean
Mickorod Renard: I cant imagine why so many people come to England when all they do is complain how the brits destroyed everything
Agatha Macbeth: We're good at that
Aphrodite Macbain: complaining? or destroying?
Agatha Macbeth: Both
arabella Ella: well personally i think the refugee problem needs to be resolved in Africa by working on governments that are no longer corrupt and by getting multinationals to invest there and create decent jobs as they did in china to some extent
Storm Nordwind: Interesting listening to arabella talking about international matter. Coincidentally, a couple of months ago I was invited to RP a nation on a website called NationStates.net and I chose a Maltese name and pseudo-history for it. :)
arabella Ella: not that china is perfect of course ... far from it
Mickorod Renard: the Chinese are doing just that in Africa
Aphrodite Macbain: Yes, start at home perhapsbut also pay attention to those who have left.
Mickorod Renard: RP or RPG?
arabella Ella: interesting Storm ... would love to hear more about your experience with NationStates!
Aphrodite Macbain: How did itwork Storm?
Aphrodite Macbain: was there a "moderator"?
Aphrodite Macbain: can you just go and watch?
arabella Ella: and why choose Malta?
Storm Nordwind: Well it's a role-playing game - very slow - and you role play a fledgling nation, making decisions twice daily about its politics
Aphrodite Macbain: nods
Storm Nordwind: You can browse the website. There are tens of thousand of nations
Aphrodite Macbain: and are there consequences to your actions?
Wol Euler: oh wow, I saw that about ten years ago (I think), glad it#s still around
Storm Nordwind: Yes that's about its age
Aphrodite Macbain: Good game for highschool students to play
Aphrodite Macbain: learn the strategies and goals
Storm Nordwind: I chose Malta because the Maltese language was able to translate the name I wanted (via Google)
Agatha Macbeth: Rather than studying
arabella Ella: well Storm if you need any background just let me know!
Wol Euler smiles.
arabella Ella: he he
Aphrodite Macbain: It's a form of learning Aggers
Storm Nordwind: Thank you but it's most fantasy
Agatha Macbeth: The great dictator...
Storm Nordwind: My nation's name is Maltempata ;)
arabella Ella: he he
Storm Nordwind chuckles
arabella Ella: nice
Agatha Macbeth: Kewt
Aphrodite Macbain: I wonder whether everyone would repeat the same mistakes that were made in RW
Mickorod Renard: world peace,,now thats a fantasy worth having
arabella Ella: that means .... shall i say?
Storm Nordwind: Sure - please do ara
Aphrodite Macbain: yes say.
  --BELL--1400
arabella Ella: Storm of course!
Aphrodite Macbain: :-)
arabella Ella: really cool idea!
Aphrodite Macbain: Time to go and prepare for rehearsals! Come to coffee in my caffeee if you like. 5pm
Storm Nordwind: Byeee
Mickorod Renard: bye Aph
Agatha Macbeth: Coffee in the café
Wol Euler: thanks, but too late for me
arabella Ella: bye Aph lovely to c u!
Wol Euler: good luck!
Agatha Macbeth: Take care
Aphrodite Macbain: Thanks
arabella Ella: just dont use our local word for rain as your first name Storm
Storm Nordwind looks it up
Storm Nordwind: Why is it also rude?
Agatha Macbeth: Ara doesn't know rude words!
arabella Ella: cos 'x' is pronounced 'sh'
Storm Nordwind: oOOOOOO!!!
arabella Ella: as in 'sugar'
Storm Nordwind: gotcha
Storm Nordwind: nuff said
arabella Ella: better to use 'Censu' or 'Guzi' or 'Xandru'
Storm Nordwind: I'll stick with Maltempata and trying to maneuver it to being a Scandinavian Liberal paradise ;)
Agatha Macbeth: Should be a doddle
Wol Euler: heheh
Wol Euler: just add mosquitoes
arabella Ella: well a little isle can always be paradise on earth
Agatha Macbeth: And bring to the boil
arabella Ella: he he
Storm Nordwind: Add curry, please!
arabella Ella: bring in the three witches from Macbeth!
Agatha Macbeth: Makes a change from the little buggers eating us
arabella Ella: not curry Storm - timpana or fenech stuffat
arabella Ella: or paztizzi
arabella Ella: as food
arabella Ella: *pastizzi
Storm Nordwind: Not in Maltempata. I'm thinking of making curry the mandatory food for school lunches ;)
Wol Euler smiles.
arabella Ella: yuck i hate curry loathe it
Agatha Macbeth: I'll vote for you
arabella Ella: we the people ... we like our carbs, our dairy stuff and our potatoes
arabella Ella: not silly curry
Wol Euler: but a good curry has all that!
Agatha Macbeth: Tim Curry
Storm Nordwind: Curry is a sign of Empire!
Mickorod Renard: I like curry
arabella Ella: cant stand it
Agatha Macbeth: Let's do the time warp again
arabella Ella: would not mind tea as a sign of the empire but never curry
Storm Nordwind: Well tea didn't work as a sign of empire. We tried that a couple of hundred years or so ago
Agatha Macbeth: Thanfully one's gone but the other is still here
Storm Nordwind wonders whether or not to make onion bhajis for dinner
arabella Ella: why do you think curry worked then storm?
arabella Ella: as a sign of empire?
Agatha Macbeth: I'd say yes
Storm Nordwind: I was joking ara :)
Storm Nordwind: Boston Tea Party and all that
Agatha Macbeth: No taxation without representation
Storm Nordwind: But the ENglish did acquire some exotic stuff on the conquests and apporpriation (through the cunning use of flags)
arabella Ella: yes :)
Storm Nordwind: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTduy7Qkvk8 for anyone who didn't get the reference
arabella Ella: my laptop currently refuses to use youtube videos ... something i need to get sorted out ... uffa!
Agatha Macbeth: Uffa indeed

Wasn't he king of Mercia?  No, that was Offa....
  --BELL--1415

arabella Ella: and always look on the bright side of things
Storm Nordwind: je ne regrette rien
