Your ideal cafe?

Looks like I'll be finished early too then

wisdom:

Thanks and yes. That's how my Grandfather made it.

 

No they both taste like piss. I used to word in a pub in my student days
where the landlord would collect up all the half drunk pints at the end
of the night and pour them back into the Brew X1 barrel (it was an M&B
pub). Dunno if he's still there.

Not *that* warm. Most ales are served at cellar temperature, usually
(8-10 celsius). Lager is usually so cold that you can't taste it.

Should've burned the £5 note instead.

Tiff

 

In uk.rec.motorcycles, frag amazed us all with this pearl of wisdom:

No, they both don't have much flavour and what flavour there is is
pretty much the same across the board IME.

Not actually warm but not chilled. Actually I do drink mine chilled but
not so chilled you can't taste it. A couple of degrees above fridge
temperature is good or plucked fresh from a bucket of cold water in a
shadowy corner in a summer's days' garden.

Spend a tenner on a decent Havana. You don't even need to spend that
much. Eight quid will get you a fairly decent one from a discerning off
licence. Something like a Romeo 'y' Julieta no.3 is a good place to
start and I still buy more of those than anything else.

 

And that's your defninition of 'decent' is it? I bet you'd use the
expression 'strong enough to stand your spoon up in' as well.

Why? I'd rather pay for one cup, then a second only if I wanted it,
rather than having to subsidise all the free top-ups others would be
having at my expense.

Well yes, there I agree with you.

It never did. A pint of black russian and you're anybody's.

Ace says...

I'll have you know that it used to take about 8 or 9 pints before I
would condier myself asreholed. Nowadays you're right, one pint and
it's time to shout "Game Over".

 

Many years ago, in an empire far away, I visited a Youngs pub
(Claygate near Esher in Surrey, I think). I asked where they got their
lager from. The landlord said that they just chilled their bitter.
Gulp.

3/3 from the above list for me, so I'm joining you in the "unreal"
stakes.

 

I'd be (mildly) interested in seeing you attempt to make the logical
progression from a dislike of crap cafés to a lack of aptitude for
biking.

I'd quite like a Smart Roadster, as it goes.

 

Or a Harley, if you've really discovered that biking is not for you.

In uk.rec.motorcycles, Ace amazed us all with this pearl of wisdom:

"Ten sugars or twelve"

I'm easily amused and that Privilege advert still makes me grin.

 

Says who? This hoary old myth has been around for decades, ever since
people started drinking fizzy crap chilled so low that you can't
actually taste it, and it really gets my goat.

Most decent beers are best served at around 6-8C, which is hardly warm
by anybody's standards. About the temperature you'd want to serve a
decent white wine, for example. Some 'winter warmers' can bear to be a
bit warmer than that, and a light summer ale might drink well as low
as 3 or 4C, but anything approaching room temperature is just *wrong*.

heh.

Prolly shagged a few married women too, eh?

 

Champ says...

Very very few, usually either single, seperated, divorced etc, but not
very many who were actually married at the time. I'm not a big fan of
infidelity.

 

Well, me neither.

My ex-wife was still living with her first husband when I started
seeing her, so I guess I shouldn't have been surprised at how things
turned out for us, really.

 

Paging darsy.

 

my current girlfriend was still living with her first husband when I
started seeing her.

That isn't what you meant though, is it?
