I'm up to date!
Here at work, we chip in £5 per month to pay for the hundreds and hundreds of teabags and jars of coffee we get through. It's not a bad price, as the left-over cash at the end of each year is easily enough to pay for our big xmas party and a whole shitload of alcoholic drinks. My payment method differs slightly from the norm - while most people will indeed pay £5 every month, I tend to forget to pay anything for 3 months, then hand over £20 to cover the back-pay plus next month. This "don't have to pay next month" attitude sets me up to forget the month after, and thus restart the cycle.
The reason I'm posting this is because I actually remembered to pay it this time round. For the first time in years, I'm up to date with my tea fund. Not backdated, not paid up for the future, but actually 100% up to date.
Also, I got my car back today. No bill yet though.

Whoa, you used the C word! Brits drink coffee? That is so cool. Is a coffe drinking Engerlanderlandisher as rare as a Texananian who cannot survive without his cuppa English breakfast tea, with milk? I have even taken to warming up my mug first, but have not yet succumbed to getting a bone china cup just for tea, but it may still happen.
Foss lives in Corwall, and has done for many years, which technically makes him Cornish. Cornish people are like friendly recknecks without the guns and pickup trucks.
Thus in my opinion, he can be forgiven for drinking coffee, even if it does make your breath smell like a decomposing horse, and even if it does taste like the anal discharge from Satan's very own sphincter of doom.
As for you Jeff, I can only salute your love of tea. I do own a self stirring mug, which makes tea a bit frothy, but it's ok. Ice cream instead of milk in tea is weird, but makes me feel nice in an extravegant kind of way. However, what is the benefit of having a warm cup, other than keeping the tea hot for longer? And if that's the only reason, why not try a bigger cup, like I do:
See?
Tea is ace,
Fantastic you'm getting your car back, but I have a hankering when the bill does coem you might be wanting that fiver you've remembered to pay!
Flo is on the go
Hold your teabags chubs
I am now registered and can leave comments on old blogs. or blogettes. or something.
Anyways, foss' coffee drinking doesn't count. He puts milk in it.
A cup of really good coffee (the instant stuff you hurriedly make at home is shit, yes) shouldn't tainted by putting other things in it.
To sum it up:
Good coffee=good
Bad coffee=bad
psst, is there some way to edit your own comments in this place?
