Nescafe is the absolute pits. At the time of the rebrand the 200g became 160g for £4. The supermarkets seem to take turns at having it on special offer.

Sergeant Wilson Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 I'm listening to a conversation in the pub. 3 people are plann ing a rework of some Shakespeare. The writer/director has just tol one he'll be Puck, but it's not Midsummer Night's Dream. The big problem is finding a part for Gemini, who isn t here and there is concern about her projection in outdoor theatre. Thankfully "Puck" can fit in around his comedy commitments. They are a bunch of smelly cùnts and I'm leaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodallegabombs Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 I tend to be quite particular about my spirits. Not to the extent that I source obscure imported rarities but rather I don’t enjoy Glens vodka.In fact I may have just had an epiphany; I’m not a pretentious twat. But I equally am not a total mink.

chomp my root Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Avoid instant coffee, the odd time I slip up if I'm round someone's and they ask if I want a coffee and I assume its decent stuff but turns out not to be reminds me that instant is rank. I've preferences for other stuff but generally suck it up and eat/drink what's given to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About three years ago they replaced all their instant beveridge machines and the cafe con leche is as good as I have tasted. It’s really bizarre coming out of a machine, but 9 out of 10 restaurants won’t provide a coffee that is a patch on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alta-pete Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 I posted earlier about real barbecue vs gas bbq. I also insist on buying restaurant grade charcoal. Same price online as that coal dust nonsense you get when you are impulsive in B&Q but anyhoo. The downside to that strategy however is you quite often get bad boys like this in the bag: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 I like to get a bit knobby with coffee. I only buy whole beans, and I have a burr grinder at home, I grind just enough to make myself one cup of coffee at a time because ground coffee loses its freshness within a day or so. I don't buy pre-ground at all and I'd rather go thirsty than drink instant. I find Aeropress makes the best coffee but I have a French press for emergencies. Where do you buy your beans? My livingroom TV will always be a Sony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiskychimp Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 I got crisps in the pub. Just asked for any flavour. Was presented with "Organic Rosemary and Wild Himalayan Thyme" End result was something equivalent to Smokey Bacon. Why would anyone care where their crisp Thyme came from?
