Re: FAO Coffee snobs


This is going to start sounding coffee snobbish now :lol:

Most normal coffee beans that you get in the supermarkets etc, or Italian style are dark roast, which is more bitter by default. In the UK most people prefer dark roast, it's what is most common and has even been marketed as strong and ...

Portland Oregon has a great pedestrian and public transport culture, but that’s because everyone who lives there is a dirty communist :lol:

Re: Trump


Outside a few of the major cities, there is no pedestrian access to anything. It is crazy.

Years ago I was visiting a friend in Charlotte North Carolina. He lived in the suburbs in a flat. About half a mile down the road was a retail park with a supermarket, we could see it from his windows. To ...

I wonder if you'd have had a better valuation if Copart weren't involved...

If anything ever happens to either of ours I'll be insisting that lot go nowhere near it.

Re: FAO Coffee snobs




I like a mug of good coffee but I don't drink enough to justify the cost of a machine. I was talking to a lass on a coffee stand at Eddfest, random I know, and she said I just need a single cup percolator. Does anyone have such a thing? I saw this, will it suffice?

Re: FAO Coffee snobs




Go to Tkmaxx and buy yourself a little stove top moka pot. Essentially makes a strong espresso, then you can do whatever you want with it. Drink as is, hot milk for a latte, hot water for americano etc


This. Moka pot FTW.

Tbf, it sounds like it was the engine that let go. Part of a turbine blade that left the housing and broke the window. Fella's probably still lucky to be alive.

Dave!
There is no way that the Americans are unserious enough to a: have a fella dressed up as a bin stand for election, or 2: the public at large hoping everyone actually votes for the bin.

This is about as gloriously British-ly silly as it's possible to be.

On what grounds? It's just a by-election and they happen all the time without triggering a GE.

It's just to get Reform back on the front pages and to try and control the narrative.

100% everything that Gavster has just said. In my benevolent dictatorship your house would be repossessed for these crimes and donated to someone that's willing to abide by my aesthetic rules.

Re: Driving like a cvnt


The court was told Amjid has been driving at 87mph (140km/h) on approach and at the point of contact with the wall the car was travelling at 65mph (105km/h). The legal limit on the road was 30mph (50km/h).

Mitchell said at the scene, Amjid, had asked a witness not to tell anyone he had been ...

Re: Driving like a cvnt

PHer has just posted that they've had the car in from this incident. It has been released by Police so off to be scrapped.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cj3glzl34n6o

Same story again. Banned driver, stupidly powerful car, NO bottles/balloons, and neither wearing seatbelts. :roll:
