Be Excellent To Each Other

Heh, pretty impressive.

Of course it is stronger. Strength in drinks is clearly a function of volume.

Wut.

Well, I don't like sponge cake, I find it rather tasteless and dry. More for you innit.

Replicant test V2 was a lot more succinct.

The sponge is only the canvas for the cream/jam/chocolate though. YOU'RE EATING BAD CAKE!

But you don't have as much of it. It's no different to just having a coffee, except that it dehydrates you more.

More importantly, tea is still best.

I went to the bottom of the page.

If they cost that much these days, I don't love anyone enough to give them my last Rolo.

I have just had to log onto an american gov't website called xfiles! I hope Scully turns up soon.

That's how much a boat trip costs

Following your logic, no drink is ever stronger than any other ever, as long as you have enough of it.

Content, ie mg/cup of caffeine is the same for an espresso and a latte, as a latte consists of espresso plus milk.
Concentration, ie mg/cm3 caffeine will be greater in the espresso.

Indeed. That much is obvious, I would have thought.

Anyway, today I have already spoken to someone whose job title is 'Space Underwriter', which is about as exciting as it gets for me. Just another 7.5 hours to go...

Are people deliberately not referring to the concept of a double espresso in this ridiculous coffee strength debate?

All I'm saying is that espressos are essentially pointless. So nerr.

Stop being deliberately stupid.

I can stand coffee. Or fish. I'm not fitting in very well here

As far as I'm concerned, if I'm not recoiling from the bitterness of a black filter coffee, it isn't strong enough.

NEVER!

And that way lies homeopathy.

Homeophobe!

They all sound alike to me.

I was a staunch opposer to anything other than proper Quaker Oats done in a pan with honey in it, but I've recently started using Oat So Simple. They're dead quick, done in the microwave and it's still proper porridge. The best thing is, they come in various flavours. The cinnamon one is good. You don't need sugar! Also, get a box of raisins and shot a few in for extra sweetness, but also fruit!

Careful with other dried fruit though, because they're often covered in oils and that makes them extra bad for you. The best raisins are Sun Maid. They don't have any oil on them - they're just good old fashioned raisins.

Golden syrup is the best thing for porridge. Ever.

But then, I like green tea. No sugar.

They do a golden syrup Oat So Simple! But I prefer honey. Really though, I can't recommend Oat So Simple enough. I'm shilling it, I know, but it's great! They come in pouches. Pour the pouch of porridge in your bowl, fill the pouch with milk up to the line and pour that in the bowl, nuke it for two minutes. Oat So Simple! (TM)

Sugar in any tea is WRONG and BAD, but surely even the mutants who have sugar in black tea would draw the line there.

Green tea is vile.

Amen! I'm only a recent convert to the green stuff, though. But I find a nicely brewed cup of green tea without milk tastes pretty much the same as a normal cup of tea with milk. But also, it has health benefits. Apparently. Plus, you don't have to hang about waiting for it to brew to put the milk in. You just pour some water on the bag and go back to Xboxing. Then you can scoop the bag out and chuck it in the bin elsewhere. Or just leave it in if you're really hardcore. It's great!

I don't mind green tea every now and then, it couldn't be my staple drink, though. I'm afraid I just like a standard brew, okay-ish instant coffee with milk and some sugar. If I'm thirsty I just want a brew, not a chemistry lesson or a lecture on communism.

I do like mint tea, it is a refreshing drink, and is healthy.
Also, golden syrup in porridge, however, oat-so-simple is no more simple than just oats in a bowl, plus milk, plus microwave, and is a load more expensive.

Also, also, WTB will try normal porridge again in two weeks, and woe betide anyone still using OSS at that point.

Naaa! The thing with "proper" oats and microwaving is they don't come out right. Oat So Simple have been made specifically for nuking. Proper oats should be cooked in a pan. And who wants to scrape oats off a pan every morning?

re. OSS, I buy that for the boys to make themselves before they go to school in the winter. It's very fool proof, even for a 9yo.

I like that you can use the packet to measure out the milk.

Poof

Why did Karl Marx drink herbal tea? Because all proper tea is theft! ROFLZOMG!!!eleven!

I have some Irish oats that are awesome when mixed with milk and nuked. Also, muchos cheapness, especially since I get free milk in the office.

Golden syrup is the best porridge topping, but also surely worse than sugar in terms of healthiness.

I figure I can live with sugar on my porridge if I cut it out of my coffee, so we're going that way.

What an exciting life!

Mint tea isn't real tea, though! All of that herbal stuff is rubbish. Green tea is just normal tea that hasn't been oxidised as long. That's the good stuff.

DROP IT, CREEP CURIOSITY

You didn't tell me that Sandboxie can isolate anything. It's the best thing EVAR

Jesus, some mod should totally split all the tea and coffee shit into a proper thread. WTB will flip when he sees all this proper chat in B&B

Yeah, get it done!

Is there a whole rolo inside too?

Not quite. If you already have something of a Caffeine habit, it'll perk you up.

If you're someone who doesn't have caffeine (like, for instance, me - Except for occasionally in Chocolate) it has no effect (bar possible Placebo).

Unless of course you've loaded it with sugar.

Bugger off, I'm on holiday.

I keep a supply of camomile in the house, as I find it can help me relax on a bad night (it almost singlehandedly kept me from stabbing Mentaletta in the face during the height of the Becuntening). But yeah, it's not tea, and it's silly that we call it that.

But then, calling it an "infusion" would make me want to punch myself in the eyes.

It is a conundrum.

Hmm, I don't think conundrum sounds any less pretentious than infusion.

637 cups of banana conundrum.

And that's why you're wrong!
