Tea? (Part 2)

[HelenD123]

<-- Ahem. Thought I'd join in the tea theme tonight. (About time I had an avatar).

I'm impressed Helen123, is that the hard water variety you are wearing tonight?

*Runs to kitchen to check*. Bog standard Yorkshire brew. The hard water variety is green but can still barely cope with the hard East Yorkshire water.

Mermaids = Coffee.
Makes perfect sense to me.

It's like 'Ratsbucks' luring unsuspecting coffee drinkers onto the rocks with their songs of Latte'........?

Well...
While we're on the topic...
When I venture into Costas and order a Latte, DO NOT 'CORRECT' MY PRONUNCIATION!!!
It's pronounced Lat ay. Not Lar tay. I speak Italian, you clearly do not.
And breathe....

 

[Dayvo]

Ooh, I'm the first in!

I'll follow the Doc's lead and have a large COFFEE, please!

In Vietnam, it's called ka fi and no one corrected, or laughed at, my pronunciation!

 

[HelenD123]

I'd rather have a tea if that's alright? This is the TEA thread after all.

 

[TheDoctor]

*prepares leafy goodness*

Just on my first mug of the day

Indeed, but coffee and tea have a common bond: caffeine is found in both.

My office has a number of Geordies in it. Round here, frothy coffee is known as la''ie. (You have to do a glottal stop where the ''s are).

Whay ay mun.

 

[Amanda P]

Arch, what about down tube gear levers? Or levers mounted on the stem?

I've got a set of 8-speed down tube levers in The Box. We gave a bike to BikeRescue that had double stem levers. They were friction ones, but the stem-mount could be used as a mount for the 8-speed indexed ones....

Shouldn't that be where the "tea" s are?

 

[Amanda P]

Anybody heard how Nolo is doing this morning?

 

[Dayvo]

Teezer?

We pronounce it Tizer in the proper part of the country south!

Dayvo

Is Uncle Phil saying they call it Lassee in Geordie Land?

Should not he have put t instead of s?

Do I have to shout to be understood?

Do you think I am a complete nincompoop?

Have you got those cannibals over the river yet?



^ remembered the smileys
