Life's little pleasures...
-
Without even drinking it. coffee gives me a lot of pleasure. As the aroma fills the air from grinding the beans, the gurgle of the water as it comes out black as tar from the machine, the froth building in the milk jug. All these are joys to behold. Just now, I was making a coffee and I found there was an overlooked 1/2 pint of milk in the fridge that has soured. Immediately I just thought 'scones' and smiled.
Panic, Chaos, Destruction. My work here is done. Drink. Get drunk. Fall over - P O'H OK, I will win to day or my name isn't Ethel Crudacre! - DD Ethel Crudacre I cannot live by bread alone. Bacon and ketchup are needed as well. - Trollslayer Have a bit more patience with newbies. Of course some of them act dumb - they're often *students*, for heaven's sake - Terry Pratchett
Nagy Vilmos "I found there was an overlooked 1/2 pint of milk in the fridge that has soured. Immediately I just thought 'scones' and smiled." You are a man after my own heart... (I may have also thought ..Cheese) I also love grinding the beans. Sometimes I just do it and and don't make any coffe at all. It is like some special incense... a frankincense or myrrh ... or a really aged scotch whisky that no one can afford. Is your surname Nagy?

a jar of coffee
There's your problem right there. You should try drinking REAL coffee - Then you might like it... ;P If not, ANY coffee experience can be greatly enhanced by adding the right amount of alcohol. Personally I prefer Sambuca...

So the others will never know it's been cleaned at all? You might get the poor lady fired...

Don't grind until you're ready to make the drink otherwise you can lose flavour.

Someone picks these things up, Nagy Vilmos is my 'nom de net' and Nagy certainly would be a surname; it is in fact very common in Hungary and means Big so I am Mr Big. Vilmos is just William, my name, in Hungarian.

I don't drink coffee, can't abide the stuff in fact, but being the one who pops the little paper cap on a jar of coffee is one of life's little pleasures. Also, being the first to use the loo at work after the cleaner has been in attendance. Getting a good night's sleep without the Great Snoring Beast From Kent keeping me awake all night is cool too. Waking up late and panicking before remembering that it is a Saturday, or putting on a jacket that hasn't been worn for a while and finding £10 in a pocket. These are all examples of LLP's. What else do you find gives you a momentary easing of the stresses and strains of your day?

I call her many things, The Punctured Hippo, The Zed Monster, The Growling Ogre etc... She knows full well how bad she snores, especially after a drink or two, and to be fair, I am just as bad.

heh I have been known to wake myself up from a light sleep by snoring - I remember thinking 'who's that rude b@astard making all the noise' and then drifting off - only to have it happen again :-O

Waking up at 9am on my last few weekdays of unemployment. Alas, only tomorrow left.
