Oh I have a wee pot for weekend mornings, but I'm quite generous with the teabags. I use two when most people would use one. This means the second mug is shipyard tea.

I see, problem solved. I tend to like my tea medium-medium strong. It's not shipyard tea, it'd be a few shades weaker than that, but not innocent water scalded like some people go in for.

On this occasion of the joining of our hundred-and-seventeenth member; it is my privilege to convey to you, Mr P, our newest arrival, on the behalf of the Glorious Sovereignty of the Machine Nation; our warmest and most heart-felt welcome.

As you are probably aware, Machine Nation is a learning community dedicated to dissecting, discussing and discovering the dimensions of daily life. I'm particularly interested in the area of farming and the perspectives and insights you can give us on that. We aim to learn in a calm, cordial and clear manner. If this is in any way lacking, I advise you to contact either of our Admins Auditor #9 and EvotingMachine0197 or our Global Moderators.

Anseo, tá sé in am do chéad chupán tae mar shaoránach seo...



Céad Míle Fáilte go Mháisiún Náisiún Mr P, tá súil agam go bheidh tú sár-mhaith mar phostaer an suíomh seo. Is dea-ocáid é, caithfidh mé a rá.

I re-iterate these words of welcome to our one-hundreth-and-eighteenth citizen, Lfemme22. Céad míle fáilte go Náisiún Máisin!

Do chupán tae....

I would also like to extend a warm welcome to our new arrivals, particularly to Lfemme22 who I believe will make many thought-provoking contributions in her area of expertise. Welcome.

Thanks guys, That tea looks lovely...Earl Grey of course (english breakfast tea for our Ameican Cousins)

Thanks for the welcome.

Looking forward to to becoming much more involved over here where all the big brains hang out

Actually I was referring to Rivens stupendous display of Star Trek knowlegde on Ard Taoiseachs quiz. It blew me away, He must be a major hit with all the girls.....JOKING

Oh don't mention riven. I had those latinum bars won until he came along with his superior trekkie brain. It will take me a long time to get over that.

Yes, I'm very impressed about that level of knowledge. I shall look forward to his efforts in future quizzes.

Hey we have two new users Stiofán and floatingalway. And ye are very welcome. We're still in the process of building here and sometimes stuff gets shifted around like rooms in the Cube so feel free to put your oar in now and then. That reminds me, should we have a comments box?

Would you like some jelly and ice-cream ?

Tea's up lads. I'm having that jelly and icecream Auditor #9.

Anyone know where the milk is?

You're very welcome, Stíofan and floatingalway.
Any questions and Auditor #9 or any of the mods will help.

The Charter is in the Welcome Forum.

Thanks, I'm a rare poster on p.ie, and just stumbled on this. Why is Machine Nation better?

Hi Stiofán. Its all down to what you're after. Machine Nation was set up in the middle of a P.ie outage a few monts ago, and got a life of its own. Its a friendly site and its possible to have a thread in which you ask questions and dig around a bit deeper, instead of mainly battering around the head stuff. A lot of members still post on P.ie too.

The site is still very young and suggestions for how it should develop are welcome.

Thanks guys. Fine cup of tea. Marietta anyone?

Thanks, I will. Ard-Taoiseach will be along to give you the full scale welcome later.

Have you had a bit of a look around yet ?

Help yourself
I've only had a quick look around but so far so good. Pleasant on the eye and missing the verbal diarhoea overload of 'you know where'

There is a certain fascination about it though, almost like the fascination of a lunatic asylum.

Anyone own this nice coat?

You'll have to host it to show us.

Gotcha. It'll take me a while to get my head around the new territory

Anyone who likes the Mariettas is all right by me.

Really? I thought he was just being cheap.

I mean, come on, nothing says I'm an alright person like jaffa cakes.

Not for me, sorry, although I understand they have many fans. They just don't soak up the tea the same way.

floatinginglalway, I like you already - the butter (has to be the real stuff, spurts through the tiny holes like buttery zits when you press the two biccies together.

I think we're all floating here at the moment - lashing rain in my part of the world all day and the bottom 6 inches of my trousers are sopping....

Anyway, welcome, welcome to you and Stiofán
