    It'll be Friday by Wednesday -- we can reflect on life then. Anyone fancy a spot of tea?

    Capital idea old boy! I'll pop the kettle on, what?

            Earl Grey smells to me like Dettol. X| You may drink it if you wish, but I'll stick to my "proper" coffee, thank you!

                  Coffee that doesn't have any tea leaves or perfume in it, like that Earl Whatzit stuff does.

                    To add to Marks answer, it comes from a bean, not a jar, and has not been messed with to reduce the caffeine levels in any way.

                      The one I make! At least 1 spoon of coffee for each small cup of water. Add a very small amount of chicory. Use a decent percolator, no instant stuff. No cream, no sugar. I use grounded coffee from Douwe Egberts, but I can grind my own stuff. Apperantly the real good coffee beans have moved through the digestive system of a cat ... ;P (but I have never tasted that, pretty expensive and not found in the average pub.)

                            Very popular in French speaking countries. I don't like it myself, I think it adds too much of a bitter note.

                                    When I do drink tea, it's always straight from China (usually either Pu-Erh or LongJing) -- none of that English "we finally find out what plant it is, so let's grow it in India and process it in five minutes through a crappy factory, rather than treat it with respect!" rubbish. You are aware that Earl Grey was invented by someone who realised that the English-style tea was disgusting, so added some of his wife's perfume to it, to smother the horrible flavour? Teas with added perfume or fruit extract may have a place in the world, but my cup ain't that place.

                                      Oooh, where to start? Australian wine is (on average) better than French wine. Some French wines are superb, but the quality varies far, far too much. The food in Britain can be (surprisingly) better than in France - not always, but it can. The range is certainly a whole lot better. French coffee isn't actually very good - it has too much chicory, and is frequently over roasted. That should start a small war! :laugh:

                                        Movie Quote Of The Day

                                        I think we've hit a critical desalinization point.

                                        Which movie?

                                        I remember this movie - it's the one that ends up with all the Americans going to Mexico - for a change. :laugh:
