Oh, I think we're going to go for this house. It's really quite nice.

Ground floor is Kitchen and Living room. Basement has been converted into a proper room, with a utility room, too. The first floor is a large double room and a decently sized bathroom, and the whole of the topmost floor is a bedroom. Once again, downsides are the size of the kitchen, and no offroad parking, but that's about it. Hopefully we'll get it, and we can do all the admin from here, I just need to buy a scanner. And Tetris Sofas might be a possibility.

She might back in the black now because she declared bankruptcy, but regardless, what does her financial situation have to do with it?

I've got an unopened new iMac sitting in the room I'm typing this post in. It's like having the Christmas presents under the tree, but needing to resist the urge to tear all the wrapping off before the big day. RESIST! URGE!

a graph at my work, put up to inspire, motivate and inform us of production management changes, has the following title, "Actual v's planned". Now, technically, there are some letters missing, but really?

Pah! It's about as readable as that text I wrote on Flis's arse before it went saggy. People really should try to lay out their markup/code properly.

Oh.. I was looking for errors! But yes, I try to lay out my CSS a little neater than your example.. although at least stuff is on separate lines - I hate it when it's just all piled together into one line.

Slightly concerned by my sugar intake, so I decided to try using artifical sweetener 'Splenda' instead in my daily coffee.

DEAR LORD, NEVER AGAIN!

Absolutely horrific filth. I heatily recommend avoiding it unless you want your mouth to taste of sweaty balls, iron filings and despair.

I only drink sugar with rubbish tasting coffee, so if your doing that I'd suggest drinking a nicer tasting coffee where you don't need sugar at all.
That new Kenco metal tin one is pretty nice as is Nescafe Cafe Parisien.

It's coffee from the work cafe, which used to be a Starbucks, but is now a faux-Starbucks with vastly inferior coffee.

That said, I only ever drink espresso, and even with nice ones I normally chuck some sugar in anyway. Might try not bothering when I go somewhere nice.

But just in case the point needed making again; Splenda is fucking disgusting.

Just stop using sugar, fool. It's not even a big deal. You won't miss it after a couple of weeks. A few months down the line and you'll feel the same way about coffee-with-sugar as you do about coffee-without-sugar now.

They're right, I used to take 5 sugars in my coffee; now I only have 2, and I hardly miss the other 3 at all.

This is lies, Curio! Don't fall for it!

Coffee without sugar is disgusting. Coffee with Slenda is also disgusting.

I use that Tesco sweetner and it seems to be more palatable than Splenda, I have to say. I have no idea why, they exactly the same from what I can tell.

However, I only drink diet coke at work. I'm still waiting for someone to take their shirt off. I'm on a building site FFS, you'd have thought I'd be surrounded by hunks! Alas, that is not the case :'(

Diet drinks all ming, especially Diet Coke. But none are as awful as Splenda.

I might try just dropping the sugar altogether, but the coffee is fairly ropey (but I can't really complain as it is also free).

That still leaves me with a sugar or two in my porridge in the morning, and that NEEDS to have sugar in it, or at the very least something sweet of some description in it (and I'm not massively sold on honey).

Diet drinks taste worse than the time I drunk from a 7up can that was four years past its use by date. Or the traditional "drinks can used as an ashtray in the arcade" drink.

I gave up sugar for a week once.

During that week I had the worst headaches I’ve ever had.... Something tells me I should have given it up gradually.

Just keep having sugar. It's necessary for properly fuelling a no-holds-barred love machine.

The new i5 quad core iMac is great. Noticeably faster than the Core 2 Duo Mac it replaces. Definitely. Shame the SD card slot is a bit crap i.e. not spring-loaded.

You know I hated coffee for 30 years then someone in my wow guild decided to walk me through the correct way to make it, (we worked out what beans/sugar/creamer/milk combination I would like) and I love it now. I now like strong coffee with 3 sugars and lots of milk with creamer/cream. Or a Latte with lots of sugar.

/dull fact

So to conclude, you like milk, cream and sugar, but are indifferent vis-a-vis coffee.

I like coffee. Strong tasting coffee, as I have a weak sense of taste. (Don't go to Costa Coffee outlets BTW, their coffee is piss-weak). Has to be caffeine-free, mind, as I'm not meant to have any of that substance.

I haven't drank any tea since May 2009.
