Your Mug (Drinking vessel)

No... coffee is the biggest fucking rort of all time. No-one gave two shits about coffee until the success of Friends in the in the early 90's and it became a fucking fashion accessory.

there is some truth in this. the buckets of hot milk they sell in starbucks aren't really coffee anyway. most it should really be regarded as "pudding" rather than "beverage".

I feel somewhat qualified to address balki's statement as a pre-friends teen coffee-holic who used to live playing mad scientist with one of these:

I had a coffee obsessed german girlfriend at uni and existed for three years on milky lattes made with stove-top espresso and gauloise blondes.

also i absolutely hated friends for years... I have to say though that i found myself suckered in by the end. i still occasionally watch the endless repeats on E4. the later episodes could be very funny. watched some yesterday actually.

Ha! Too true. Lets not forget the invasion of Starbucks... fuck know why anyone would pay to drink that godawful shite.

your shite yank sitcom lovefest.

I think I missed that episode

What the hell is that thing, Dooks?

Tbh... I dont really fell that strongly about it. Had a traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremony yesterday where the beans were roast in front of us. Really nice. Didn't sleep very well last night. :)

More worryingly, I find Friends fucking hilarious.

Nice mug. Can I borrow your stapler?

No, that's my stapler and if want to listen to the radio at a reasonable volume..

If you could just go ahead and do that, that'd be great.

I'm a Michael Bolton fan.

For me it doesn't get any better than when he sings When a Man Loves a Woman.

I ask for no salt, NO salt on my magarita!

Did you get the memo?

Yeah, we're attaching new cover sheets to the TPS reports.

15 pieces of flare is the minimum, now if you want to wear just the minimum amount that's fine..

Ok, I think I'm out of quotes now.

What would you do with a million dollars?

Two chicks at the same time.

maybe, but why do you need two? you also need to redecorate, looking a bit dated there...
