Hi Jen

just a roastery at the moment, though cafe may be open in a few months. Let me know when you're coming over and we can arrange to get a coffee either at our roastery or perhaps in a cafe in London.

Whose coffee do you use in Cafe Depeche? and why cafe depeche?

Hi Jen, You should enter the IBC competition. Its great crack and always seems to end up been a big session. And besidesI am one of the judges so at leat you will know someone there already. I will also forward you the details of the competition. If you have any questions on it just ask. I haven't been back home for a while but the next time I am going to Cork I will let you know & will definetly call into you. Other than that you could call to Bewleys in Dublin. Damo....

Ah, very good! You'd give Jessica Fletcher a run for her money. Definitley organise something soon. Trying to do something in Ireland since the days when Stephen and Deaton were still here. Yeah, i'm going for the ibc again. Did it last year with not much prep but it was more to see what it was about. It's a good laugh and you get to meet great people. You done much in the world of coffee? By the way - who blew my cover??!!

Hi Jen, No qualifiers necessary for the IBC or Latte Art. Closing date is 01-01-09. If you do decide to enter I would advise you to study the judging forms very well. Easy to lose points during to competition for stupid things. I can email those forms to you or available online. As for nerves - a few valium will sort that out. If you do go for it you can get a run through before hand. Damo....

Depeche Mode...now there is a band that brings back some hazzy 80's memories! How are things going in Ireland? Seems the "I" as the first letter of a country is a bit of an economic curse... "Iceland, "Indonesia".... our currency has just crashed 18% in 3 days grrrrrr.

Sure thing Jen, do that. I would love to visit Ireland- being a Kiwi I think NZ and Ireland have a lot of things in common. Rugby for one! We are playing Ireland at Landsdowne Road Nov 15th... conveniently I will be in Trieste so should be able to watch the game on TV.

Hahaha, all rugby comments are taken very serious by us Kiwis. At least we beat the Aussies in Hong Kong on Saturday. We have not done any exchange work but could be an option next year. By summer you mean yours I am guessing (June-Aug??)
