I’m not one of those people that get a buzz from strong coffee but there used to be an old Lebanese bloke had a sandwich shop opposite Sandy Bells that would do you a double espresso with a spoon of brown sugar that even had me rattling. He also did amazing chilli scrambled egg rolls. Great way to start your day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give the old milk and sugar up for about a month. It will not taste great, but all of a sudden you’ll get that true flavour that you will appreciate, never go back after that. I used to take milk and two sugars in coffee and tea, now can’t drink either if someone puts it in🤮 Edited January 4, 2023 by luckyBatistuta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddysBar Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 The coffee snobs in life are hilarious. Why do you care what coffee other people drink? You’ve obviously found a kind that you like so why not leave it at that? It’s similar to the steak threads, if someone is in a restaurant and they’re paying £30 for something that cost the restaurant £5 to buy, at least allow them to have it cooked the way they like it😀 And before I get labelled a Nescafé drinking spoons Tuesday night steak club well done member I don’t drink coffee and couldn’t tell you the last time I had a steak.

JudyJudyJudy Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 A new series of “ a new life in the sun “ is back on , on channel 4 . It’s about British people setting up a new business in Europe . A couple have moved fo France and have opened a guest house and took months to renovate it. They have been absolutely hopeless doing all this and to cause me even more seeth , they welcomed their first guests without a word of French ! Arghh my pet hate Another couple in their mid 50s have opened up a cocktail bar and are “ run off their feet “ no wonder bar work is a young persons game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They needed to change some medication for her and work out new dosage based on some factors weight etc. It’s not medication that is generally prescribed to anyone her age, so they need to be very careful with it Anyway, the doctor was doing the calculation for the new dose. She comes back and tells us the dosage. I immediately notice that the dose doesn’t seem right. It seems massively out. Anyway, I said to the doctor you calculated that right? Slightly offended she tells me yes. I then query this as I say based of her weight it would be x. The doctor tells me, they just done on calculator it is correct. I then asked for it to be double checked or clarity on what I’m missing on calculation. She then goes to do the calculation in front of me. Then hurriedly goes away. About 5min later comes back and tells us the dosage is actually a third of her initial prescription. I started laughing, the doctors turns around to me and says she’s ‘not a mathematician and the pharmacists would have picked it up.’ I was less than impressed to put it mildly.
