It's nice to know he's alive and well. I do hope they're taking proper care of him.

Thankfully his twin brother on TV Forum is perfectly alright, so that's good isn't it!

How dare you. They're not even related.

"They all look the same to me", says Chie.

Outrageous.

I drink mainly tea now at work as I am trying to cut my sugar intake and the coffee they buy (Kenko Instant) is very bitter.
We have one of those Nescafe Dolce Gusto thingamajigs and they make surprisingly nice cappuccinos and can drink that fine with no sugar.

As for Tea we usually buy extra strong asam blend from Morrisons. Its very nice.
Earl Grey is not tea, Jean-Luc be damned!

for the last two years one of our customers (who make Tea in London) have sent our office a box full of boxes of tea bags, its spiteful stuff and I can see why they are keen to give it away. No one drinks it, its how I imagine filtering water through builders rubble and sawdust would taste like.

I drink tea as a rule but occasionally have the odd coffee. Unfortunately I spend most of my working week working in two offices that only have vending machines for drinks and so despite spending an hour with an engineer desperately trying to improve the tea it will never be perfect. 95 to 98 is just not 100.

I spend two days a month working in offices where they serve proper tea and that is pure heaven.

I had a tea from Costa the other day and despite it being as Hyma said Twinnings Everyday it was completely destroyed by the fact that they put the milk in at the wrong time. I don't think I have ever seen such anaemic tea.

If you think ordering tea is bad, wait till you order a hot chocolate. They look at you like a trainee nurse looks at an old man in a nursing home. "Aww...he's too weak for coffee, and even for tea...."

Good job they don't serve Ovaltine really.

T'only thing I pop into the 'Bucks for now is a frappucino.

Regarding the second thing, I used to get chinese chips and sweet and sour sauce once a week, came to £2. When the average spend in a Chinese is nearer £6, I always felt like a bit of a cheapskate, but then it's what I wanted, so it's what I got.

Mind you, having shelled out £3.35 for a bottle of Becks in St. David's Hall earlier, I am somewhat philosophical about the morals of being a cheapskate.

I'm disappointed Alexia! I thought you would be extolling the refreshing virtues of a stone in some hot water!

I drink both Coffee and Tea. Mainly coffee at the moment though.

As for the 2nd point. If they sell it then no. Even if they do not its not rude.

It's like on menus where it says Coffee and mints I will ask for Tea instead because well let's just say filter coffee and my guts disagree with one another.

I'm going out on a limb and saying that I can't stand either tea or coffee. Never have done and I never will. I just prefer my drinks cold, with plenty of ice, even at this time of year.

My Mum, however, is a different story. She drinks coffee with a passion, but only ever has it with brandy. She's been known to take the brandy with her when we're out. Even if we're in a restaurant, and that is what she orders, she moans that they never put enough in, so her delicate disposition benefits from knowing that she can add the optimum amount of brandy for her palate herself.

Not liking hot drinks at this time of year. Tsk. You could get ill!

Some strange things have come out of your mouth in recent times Sput.. but I can genuinely say I have no clue what the Toblerone you are going on about!

Awww not to worry, I just thought you'd have a more luddite beverage
