There is the delicate clearing of a throat and then Thom's voice comes across the Net.As it seems that today is a day for a proper 'tea' I though some of you might appreciate a quick run down of 'tea' ettiquette. I should ammend that this is the 'Western' etiquette which I understand differs from the the more cerimonial Eastern way of taking tea

...'Kay, there's no way I listened to all that.

[thatsmyjob]

And I went to all that trouble to remember and recite it, Tony. I'm hurt.

[darkest0knight]

It was like a ten minute monologue on tea.

[thatsmyjob]

No, it was a ten minute monologue on how to host a proper tea, not on the actual beverage. Though I could give you a twenty minute monologue on that subject if you'd like?

[darkest0knight]

No thanks. I'm fine without it.

And I like coffee better.

[thatsmyjob]

I can do thirty minutes on coffee.

Have you been inspired to visit any of the parties today, Tony?

[darkest0knight]

Not really. There's been a...a situation with a friend. So I've been with him most of the day.

[thatsmyjob]

Is there anything I can do to help?

[darkest0knight]

Only if you can cure a case of complete apathy.

[thatsmyjob]

Well, I'd like to say I did so with Lincoln but that was more the rekindling of his love of puzzles than anything I did. Apathy and the release of apathy tends to have to come from within a person.

[darkest0knight]

Except I don't think it's his own apathy. Er. I mean, I don't think he's the one causing it.

[thatsmyjob]

Curse?

[darkest0knight]

I don't think that's it either.

[thatsmyjob]

Well, you're the magic guru, can you tell if there's been any spooky do?

[darkest0knight]

It doesn't work that way. I can't just mind-meld a person and find out what's wrong.

[thatsmyjob]

Well, any other symptoms so to speak? Any other people affected?
