:lol: :lol: :lol: I think it's supposed to be half milk and half cream. I usually just call it creamer. When I was in Tralee, Ireland, I ordered coffee and asked for cream. What I got was so thick and heavy, it made my cofee froth up. It was really good, but not what I was expecting.Quote:

Cream in tea? :eek::lol: we put milk in ours, thats why a lot of irish and brits get fustrated when they go to the US because they get handed this half and half, and they have to ask for breakfast tea if the want a cup of tea similar to the tea we have here because your regular tea is different to ours...
Yeah, I don't know why our regular tea is so different. I'm curious now...Quote:

no you are not ment to put any milk or cream into flavoured teas as it is. Twinings do a lovely Spearmint and nettle tea...
oooh, I love mint teas. Never had that one though. A few stores carry Twinnings, I'll have to look for it.
What about sugar? I never use sugar in any tea at all, but I guess some people do. I feel like it overpowers the tea flavor.
A tea spoon of sugar sweetens tea. Its not bad.I'd only put it in ordinary tea if in need an energy boost!
Yes, because of the rain and cold. I usually drink tea (even though I'm southern, I LOVE it hot). I'm in Tallahassee. What about you?
I put milk and a 1/2 teaspoon of orange blossom honey in my tea, Earl Grey, of course.
Wait wait different tea? how?
one of my friends doesnt really drink tea but has a box for guests, I havent the heart to tell her it tastes like the inside of a kettle but somehow I always forget and ask for tea and then have to gulp it down and preend its just Ive forgotten what earl grey tastes like when I invloentarily pull a face.
*sigh*
I'm in Tampa. I'd rather drink my tea hot even on a hot day (which finally isn't the case lately). The only time I ever want to sweeten my tea is when I have a sore throat. That's when I put honey in it. And orange blossom is the best! The tearoom was out of Paris tea though:bawling: :bawling: . So I had to settle for an alternative.Quote:

That could be just a 'me' thing. Most Americans drink their tea iced actually.:sick:Quote:

Actually this reminded me of a funny thing i saw in work today. :p
I was queuing at the International Currency Exchange (ICE) to get change for one of the shops today, when i was distracted by this odd noise heading in my immediate direction towards Pier B. So I decided to look around and almost pissed myself laughing...
As you all know i work in the Airport, and like all major Airports, we have our own Police, firebrigade, Ambulance etc. Part of the job for Airport police is to patrol the piers and make sure no one is doing things they shouldnt be doing! Now Dublin airport is expanding big time. It can take over 20- 30 mins for me to walk from our pier c shop to our old TFL D shop at the other end of the airport. We are always moaning that DAA have done things arseways in the airport and should have set up some kind of light rail of shutle bus service from the main terminal to the pier D, as it is an atrociously labourious walk and definitely NOT pensioner and reduced mobility friendly. Like us, the Airport Police had obviously got annoyed that if they were down in C and a call came in for them to go to D they may not get down in time for the alert (say an idiot smoking in the toilets) and to find a way of getting there faster. So their solution is what had me in stitches...
... two airport police officers...on Segways!:lol:
I love Segways! Gonna buy me one when I grow up!
:lol: dont know why anyone would want one! and they are so expensive. cost about €5500!!! :eek: thats a lot of money to go 15 mph. get a car for that!
Well, you can ride a car in an airport to begin with... And I like picturing myself riding a Segway instead of hopping in a Zimmer frame!
But then you can have a zimmer frame race!!Quote:

I forgot to write this a couple of weeks ago.
Around about thursday two weeks ago, i was on a late shift in work. It was getting close to closing time and i walked into one of our shops to see how it looked.
One of the girls had been down in the kids section tidying the books when she discovered tucked behind a couple of books a letter. It was marked as "The Secret Letter" and addressed to two people. Curious, she opened the letter and read it. When i walked in she came over to a few of us laughing and handed me the letter. It was very funny indead! It started off with "hello Lily and Sam? Arent you surprised to find this! If this isnt them but some random stranger who pick up the letter and perved, hello!" the letter continued in a similar fashion and reminded me alot of Daddy Long Legs by Jean Webster. It even included pictures. Aparently she was off to france for the summer, and the friends she had left the letter for were going to spain. Accepting her geograhy wasnt very good, she decided to draw a map of where france was compared to Spain. France was below spain according to the letter. It also cantained all the fun things she was intending to do and how the legal age to buy wine in france was 16. The letter was just hilarious!
The randomness of the letter was what really made it funny. This kid could be such and entertaining writer when they grow up. I wonder if they realise it.....
Ok this happened a while ago and maybe it's only funny to me.
I was at Drama club and my drama teacher was talking. But nobody was really paying attention. Suddenly she says loudly: "To those who weren't listening, if you want to join The National Lesbian Society you have to pay 6 dollars. Raise your hand if you have the money"
Everybody gets really quiet.
Suddenly all they guys raise their hands and somebody says "I wanna be a lesbian!"
:lol: methinks she meant to said Thespian :lol:
:lol:Quote:
