Piseog you're welcome to Machine Nation - the place that does its best to cover the machinery of politics and the politics of machinery. If you know anything about either of these things please pour forth your musings in profuse strains of unpremediated art.

Any thoughts on these things of a morning ?

Hi DaveM - you're very welcome to the Machine Nation

Cup of tea?

The Charter and Rules are in the welcome forum. I see you have already lost your posting virginity on this site and need no further advice.

Great big welcomes to Riven, Cael, DaveM and Peter O'Brien. I recognise most of ye from over yonder.

Ye're all most welcome to our little nation. Every new member is helping the Sovereign outback of Machine Nation become a better place.

Enjoy the tea.

Sorry I missed you before. A bit of breakfast for you.

Can we get a rodeo program to see which new people stay on the longest? That'll sort out the cowboys from the cowmen.

Welcome to all - i'd stick up some ice coffee if i had the time ...

That, cactus, is fascinating. I had thought that timers of that description were limited to egg world. I would imagine that such a device would be useful for Apprentice Teamakers as they learn and refine their craft. Master Teamakers would know by the rich ruby complexion of the brew when it is ready.

Cool device, but absolutely no use to me. I leave the teabag in. Shipyard tea...

Do you? I've made tea for people like that and briefly experimented with it myself. Does it not become intolerably strong towards the end?

Well I've been drinking it like that for 10 years+ now. I think it started out of laziness and impatience. I love the last few sups now, quite strong, but then I take a suger or two, so that probably dampens the bitterness.

Ah, yes. That would do the trick. Would you drink tea out of the pot? I'd imagine it'd be quite weak by comparison.
