Cappacino is a horrid way to drink coffee, I like coffee plain, strong and hot none of that namby pamby frothing for me!

I used to drink my coffee like that, but in recent years I've found that it disagrees with me*. Now I usually drink cappucino on the odd occasion when I have coffee rather than tea, and a decent cappucino with a muffin takes a lot of beating.
* It sits there saying things like 'Genesis were much better after Steve Hackett left', 'Side 2 of Tarkus is pure prog genius' and 'Christian Vander is nowhere near as good as Mike Portnoy'.

We have a Bistro at work which serves fantastic homemade muffins; blueberry, chocolate and my favorite, apple and cinnamon.

Disagreeing is one thing, Chris, but there are limits

Incidentally, I said a couple of pages back I've been getting back into Dream Theater & had recently bought 'Octavarium'; after giving it a good listen, it's made my mind up completely:
I am no longer 'back into Dream Theater'.
Bless 'em, I know they're good musicians, but they're just trying too hard - there's a couple of OK tracks & within the 24 minute 'Octavarium' itself, there's a good 5 minute song trying to get out +++sigh+++ I'll leave their later albums for those who (adopts sniffy tone) like that sort of thing... & go back to their earlier material

Not heard Train Of Thought, but after Octaquarium, I'm a little antsy about shelling out for it; the most recent one I really enjoyed was Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence (they were great on that tour too) & that was 6 years ago.
We're talking about Dream Theater!

back to shed talk, ok... we recently got some "burning bushes" for the front yard - they bloom in the spring, and in fall their leaves will turn a wonderful red, very cool.

 Let me ask you, is it possible that Labour can piss everyone off so much that a Tory government could actually come back?
|
I fear that it so. Now let's get back to non-political affairs, before Dean, Jim, Andy et al. start to hyperventilate and spit some bile in sheer anger at the thought of a Tory Government coming back... A simple question: why did Morris Marinas always seem to come in "Poo Brown"? It's a horrible colour for a car and it didn't help that the Morris Marina was a terrible car anyhow... although I think some Itals were also in "Poo Brown", as were some Allegros, so it must bit a British Leyland (sic) thing.

Yes, I believe they have done it quite successfully. If there was a General Election now, they'd be out on their arses.
btw
· The diuretic effect of caffeine is dependent on the amount consumed and duration of intake e.g. the caffeine in tea does not have a diuretic effect unless the amount of tea consumed at one sitting contains more than 250-300mg of caffeine, equivalent to between 5 and 6 cups of tea.

 oh brother!
If you boys are getting to the age where you are worrying about getting up for a wee in the night, it might be time for the old marigold treatment down the quacks office! 
Good luck! You have our support, but we REALLY DO NOT want to hear about it!
ha ha ha!
