| 10:28.32 | morsing | ibot beer |
| 10:28.33 | ibot | hmm... beer is ummm, ummm good!, or good for you! |
| 10:29.20 | axelS | mmm beer |
| 10:29.25 | pdr | ibot pdr |
| 10:29.27 | ibot | i guess pdr is not trustworthy when it comes to beer, or the physicians desk reference |
| 10:37.08 | rhowe | pdr: $boss has decided he doesn't much like Lonix |
| 10:37.30 | pdr | why's that? |
| 10:40.41 | highbury | is it totally impossible for them to find a quieter venue? |

| 10:47.17 | rhowe | pdr: Found the people a bit geeky and weird I think |
| 10:51.45 | morsing | ibot Leeds |
| 10:51.46 | ibot | [leeds] a bloke called Richard in the UK or spending too much time playing with expensive electronic toys or a genius or whatever you want him to be, or nekkid, or a place in the norf, or a rubbish footie team, or damn nearly bankrupt, or better than google. relegated :-(, or unemployed |
| 10:52.08 | morsing | ibot morsing |
| 10:52.09 | ibot | [morsing] a nice and very knowledgeable guy who often buys rounds of beer, or mozrat, or living in a virtual universe where AIX resembles Unix. |
| 10:52.24 | morsing | :-) |
| 10:53.28 | SlayerXP | ibot slayerxp |
| 10:53.29 | ibot | rumour has it, slayerxp is a dogmatic zealot, or a debhead and proud of it no doubt! |
| 10:53.56 | SlayerXP | utter lies |
| 10:56.50 | rhowe | Richard should've landed around about now |
| 10:57.16 | wethrin | yeah |
| 10:57.23 | wethrin | might take him a bit of time to get onto IRC |
| 10:58.54 | pdr | i'd say it'll take about 3 hours |
| 10:59.00 | pdr | maybe less |
| 10:59.27 | rhowe | It's 40 minutes to Central |
| 10:59.47 | rhowe | So say it takes him an hour and a quarter to get off the plane and into town |

| 12:38.15 | itsbruce | Fuck them with large objects with rusty nails stuck in them |
| 12:39.21 | itsbruce | For the hassle, time-wasting, hair loss and general aging, it's cheaper to go to TCR. |
| 12:40.17 | pdr | about right. an hour up and down TCR and you can find a price cheaper than scan and you get the product there and then |
| 12:45.17 | pdr | ebay and amazon are good options too, if TCR is out of the way |

| 13:59.48 | Leeds | one |
| 14:00.05 | Leeds | although only because the hot water was misbehaving :-) |
| 14:02.38 | morsing | ibot change 400 USD to GBP |
| 14:05.18 | rhowe | in the summer the water is often warm enough to shower in without it being heated |
| 14:06.19 | pdr | apparently, the UK is one of the few European coutnries that doesn't heat its water before distribution |
| 14:06.57 | pdr | which is why there are often issues with burst pipes on the streets |
