Tea? (Part 1)

[TheDoctor]

Have you read the comments underneath! I'm still getting to grips with reading LOL speak. I'm thinking it's like Dutch, if you can see past the bizarre spelling a lot of the words sound the same as English...

Teh comments iz a littel trikkey to unnerstan at furst, but is OK wuns u iz uset to dem.

sumone has writed a programming langwage called LOLcode.

HAI
CAN HAS STDIO?
VISIBLE "HAI WORLD!"
KTHXBYE

Direct translation :-

Start
Include Standard Input/Output
Print "HAI WORLD"
End.

Not fantastically useful, but most esoteric programming languages aren't.

My fave LOLcat is the 'Therz a speshal circle ov hell' one!

Lipton's yellow is the 'preferred' tea in the USA but for my builder's tea tastes I find it sadly lacking in weight.
I always take my own PG, wherever I go.

Not seen that one. Might have to have a look later.

I'm more of a light, delicate type myself, where tea is concerned anyway. Jasmine, Earl Grey (just brewed for a minute or so) if I can get them. But if on a ride, you need builders tea with a bacon sarney. Anything lightweight would just be wrong.

I do like a nice weak wet Lapsang Sushon, black no sugar, but nothing can supplant a big mug of terracotta coloured Builders or Roofers tea when there's work afoot!

I'm glad you said bacon sarnie Doc' as I now know what I want for lunch!
Kettle and grill on!

BTW Speicher, how are the stairs?

If you read the packet it's not brewed it's infused!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have extra strong Tetley's tea myself. Although I have been known to buy PG Tips. I did once buy some Morrison's own brand. They've been sitting in the cupboard ever since. Awful awful tea. Only in times of desperation do they come out (i.e. I've run out and the shops shut). Talking of desperation - I'd better remember to get some milk on the way home or I'll be buggered for a tea fix later and for my weetabix in the morning!

I had a friend who went crazy on the Tesco Value stuff when it first came out. He was never allowed near a supermarket again. And no-one would eat the Tesco Value cornflakes. Not even the guinea pig.

Tesco Value teabags...you just *know* they'll be terrible!

There is a Tea Shop in this town that does tea called Gunpowder, is that stronger than Builders' Tea?

It's a green tea and can be brewed to quite a strength. Smokey/tabacco-ish flavour.

Hello everybody Just been on a train ride in need of some properly priced tea.

 

[Speicher]

Meowchat is understandable to a foreigner. I used to have a cat who definately had five different meaows for different things:
Milk
let me in
biscuit
where are you, I'm lonely
For goodness sake, do you know how long I was out there, waiting for you to let me in? I am very upset about that and I will make sure you know it.

No, but it's drunk more by demolition experts than builders.

It's funny about the LOLcat speak - I'd always assumed that cats spoke and wrote very, very correctly, with an accent like Leslie Philips or Judi Dench. Unless they were big bruisey tom cats, in which case they'd have cockney accents.

Anyone read 'Tobermory', by Saki? (aka H H Munro)

 

[Speicher]

I think Arch has ventured into Soapbox, and will have a necessitea for a calming cuppa .

I always considered cats to talk with a Cornish accent TBH.
