| 12:16.38 | QuantumTim | aah, okay |
| 12:16.45 | QuantumTim | thanks |
| 12:17.00 | QuantumTim | and have a happy (though not in the same way ;) ) new year |
| 12:17.41 | Birdie | i may celebrate 6hours earlyer |
| 12:17.49 | Birdie | i think..you are american? |
| 12:20.57 | QuantumTim | nope, British |
| 12:21.23 | QuantumTim | I'll be in 2007 in just under 12 hours =) |
| 12:23.46 | Birdie | oh only one hour difference between us:) |
| 12:24.02 | Birdie | you are a "blair buddy" ;à) |
| 12:25.26 | QuantumTim | not unless you mean buddy in a hate kind of way ;) |
| 12:25.38 | Birdie | lol au |
| 12:26.09 | QuantumTim | where are you then? |
| 12:26.38 | Birdie | belgium |
| 12:26.42 | Birdie | cross the sea:) |
| 12:26.57 | QuantumTim | so you're a "Verhofstadt buddy"? |
| 12:27.24 | Birdie | eh well not in a hate way, but neither in a friendly way:) |
| 12:27.30 | QuantumTim | not that I know much about him |
| 12:27.32 | Birdie | he is ok, but thats about it |
| 12:27.54 | Birdie | last years he and where he is in is loosing all the votes |
| 12:27.56 | QuantumTim | well, I don't think I can honestly say I want any of our major political figures in office |
| 12:28.17 | Birdie | i heard that about UK several times |
| 12:28.24 | Birdie | they dislike stuff blair is doing |
| 12:28.27 | Birdie | but there isnt a good replacement |
| 12:29.00 | QuantumTim | we should probably just change every couple of years or so, so none of them have enough time to do anything ;) |
| 12:29.35 | Birdie | lol |
| 12:29.42 | Birdie | its pretty sad if it has to go like that:) |
| 12:29.48 | Birdie | but i think in most countrys its the same |
| 12:29.50 | QuantumTim | yup |
| 12:30.03 | Birdie | all promise good stuff but once they are on top.. |
| 12:30.51 | QuantumTim | and when they are trying to do bad stuff, they dress it up as good stuff, and unfortunately, the majority of voters take the bait |
| 12:31.27 | Birdie | we can only see what is going on on television and news papers, and how much they are right? i dunno, they only show and write what those guys tell them |
| 12:31.44 | QuantumTim | yup |
| 12:32.36 | QuantumTim | I'm starting to find watching and reading news a bit annoying now. They always just regurgitate the government line |
| 12:33.12 | Birdie | yep |
| 12:33.14 | QuantumTim | and they let politicians get away without answering questions (in the way they do) |
| 12:33.19 | Birdie | usa is the same or even worser |
| 12:33.29 | QuantumTim | I don't think I've ever heard a politician give a yes/no answer |
| 12:33.30 | Birdie | the east is even worser than that to |
| 12:33.41 | Birdie | yea, they always give a answer of so much lines |
| 12:33.43 | QuantumTim | aye, it's a sorry state of affairs |
| 12:33.46 | Birdie | and when they finished you dont know nothing |
| 12:33.50 | Birdie | dont know anything* |
| 12:33.56 | QuantumTim | indeed |
| 12:34.08 | Birdie | the funny things are those yes/no question |
| 12:34.10 | Birdie | and than they start |
| 12:34.15 | Birdie | "i think we first have to look blablab" |
| 12:34.24 | QuantumTim | yup, it's exactly the same here |
| 12:34.33 | QuantumTim | they always try to bring something else into the question |
| 12:34.46 | QuantumTim | and then change the question, and then answer their own... :/ |
| 12:35.09 | Birdie | yep |
| 12:35.10 | Birdie | its sad:) |
| 12:35.24 | Birdie | if they say before people vote "we will do that" |
| 12:35.34 | Birdie | and than some one asks them some years later, did you reached what yo uwanted |
| 12:35.41 | Birdie | than you get a big text |
| 12:35.48 | QuantumTim | the problem is, there are no real people involved in the system (except once every 4 years or so) |
| 12:35.55 | Birdie | and if they do that, they couldnt do it:) |
| 12:35.58 | Birdie | like usual |
| 12:36.03 | QuantumTim | and even then, the scope for input is very limited |
| 12:36.41 | Birdie | and also, those persons dont represent and do what they want, but they do what their "group they are in" wants |
| 12:36.43 | Birdie | dunno the name for it |
| 12:36.59 | QuantumTim | political party, usually shortened to just party :) |
| 12:37.40 | QuantumTim | more importantly, the don't represent what the people who voted for them want |
| 12:38.24 | Birdie | ah i thought it was another name than "party" :) |
| 12:38.34 | Birdie | i wanted to say that, but maybe you were confused with the other meaning of the word |
| 12:38.41 | QuantumTim | nope :p |
| 12:38.54 | Birdie | i underestimated you! |
| 12:39.26 | QuantumTim | last time I checked politicians don't represent their new years parties :p |
| 12:39.43 | Birdie | lol |
| 12:39.44 | QuantumTim | although it wouldn't surprise me if they did |
| 12:39.50 | Birdie | well i gtg now |
| 12:39.52 | Birdie | getting ready |
| 12:39.57 | QuantumTim | okay, have fun this evening |
| 12:39.59 | Birdie | for a long evening night morning day evening |
| 12:40.08 | QuantumTim | are you going out? or with family? or? |
| 12:40.29 | Birdie | eating at friends house with 15 people |
| 12:40.37 | QuantumTim | I'm going to a Casino Royale (new Bond film) themed event |
| 12:40.40 | Birdie | than a party there |
| 12:40.45 | QuantumTim | aah, have fun at that then =) |
| 12:40.49 | Birdie | many people go to a casino |
| 12:41.13 | Birdie | anyway have fun, dont get to drunk:) |
| 12:41.19 | QuantumTim | hehe, you too :) |
| 18:40.42 | cosmos | what was the callsign of the cheater quantumtim |
