    Already hate Costa "what passes for coffee" and energy drinks and mobile phones and Apps and don't buy bottled water.   SUVs are useful round here and I like a beefburger made with well brought up beef and proper salad/cheese/apple/bacon additions but don't go anywhere near the chains.

    I don't drink coffee. I don't get the 'coffee culture ' i don't get the code skinny this and latte that.Buy it in a soup bowl and park your 4WD pushchair in the corner   I don't get why people are pleased  when the bloke who squirts the coffee recognises them. I believe they're called barristas. What's someone who makes tea called? I don't drink that either
    Coffee beans are for dropping on top of a sambucca and setting fire to.

    @B3 - First find your sambucca and don't let OH try it in crystal glasses.   They explode!

    Sounds like the voice of experience😱
    We have some shot glasses. Works well but q couldnrr bring myself to buy a whole bag of beans for a sambucca garnish. I may live to regret my parsimony but the shops will be open again on boxing day.

    Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house not a creature was stirring not even a mouse. Sadly my house is not that house. :|  Something is scratching around in the walls which sounds bigger than a mouse so is probably a friend of the late Roland. The baby has only just nodded off too although he might be faking it because I told him Santa wouldn't come if he didn't sleep. The other boy is due to wake up in around an hour so I should have time to finish the other half of my warm and probably very flat xmas beer by then hopefully. The nice bottle of red wine I bought for xmas 2 years is looking like it will receive a pardon of execution for another year as well.
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    Merry xmas everyone. o:) It's a lovely night out, bright stars and loud owls. I couldn't hear sleigh bells but the women next door was making noises like a red nosed reindeer as she staggered to the front door. I hope santa brings me enough sleep to make lunch with the in-laws a fun affair.
