both are gross in my opinion.

I'll get tae tea soon, but the Scots are nae known fur their great intellect, lassie*! Note jocky's use of quote tags!what has being Scottish have to do with the price of tea?
That's been said about me in a few different places, although this is probably the first time it's meant tongue-in-cheek!
Tea?
Black lychee.
If Earl Grey is the nobility of tea, and I do like a cuppa the old fella, the the chai lychee I drink is not just king, but all the gods of taste as well. I'd like to be able to describe it in the normal male manner of comparing the taste to certain things best portrayed by angels, but the mixed company forbids me!
That opinion will only be acceptable if you have an alternative.both are gross in my opinion.
Otherwise I shall have Parker fetch the doorman to have you ejected!
(I hope you're an anti-tea person; we haven't had someone forcibly removed from the premises since jocky's mam tried to barge in a while back)
Oh my god, looks like you'll be next on the list.
Herbal infusions are NOT tea!
Best adverts in television history. Damn the tree-hugging, politically-correct, anthropocentric do-goodedness which caused them to disappear.
*besides the fact that just about everything useful ever invented was invented by a Scot.

Funnily enough, I don't like scotch in tea, while scotch in coffee - a substance I usually rate right next to used sump oil on the drinkability scale - is great.Agreed, but mixed with a generous pouring of Glenfiddoch and imbibed frequently one tends to forget all about the acidic taste of the tea.
Maybe it's that 6:1 ratio I use?

That critique on tea was unsurpassable and should be the definitive last word on the subject, however, I have this terrible feeling in the pit of my stomach that we have not heard the last of this.
well! you obviously missed my last post athiest!

SO why idnt I get this wonder tea then ?It was irish tea but it was a gold blend not a breakfast.although what is classed as Irish breakfast abroad is bog standard here. you want a really good Irish tea, go for a pryamid, gold blend reserve. Bewleys clipper and green label are also very nice.
This is also my opion if you are talking only herbal infusions. Im talking arabic based in black tea mixed with fresh herbs like mint , or sage , or cloves.
Hey They still have pretty good adverst, johnny vegas and sock monkey! NO patch on the BT soapsyle adverst though!Best adverts in television history. Damn the tree-hugging, politically-correct, anthropocentric do-goodedness which caused them to disappear.

Sorry I was gone for a while, I was just getting my steel helmet and flak jacket from the loft as I had this strange feeling that the thread was getting a wee bitty dodgy. Arguments about tea have a habit of getting out of control. Tea has never had the same resonance with me since they invented tea bags.
Wow are you THAT old?!!Tea has never had the same resonance with me since they invented tea bags.

Athiest, I have not forgot the Quote quip, you should know us Jocks have long memories, what were we talking about again?
I certainly did.well! you obviously missed my last post athiest!
(Although........ Irish tea? It just doesn't sound right. Where do they grow it?)
Correct, the cudgels are drawn and all other cliches standing by!That critique on tea was unsurpassable and should be the definitive last word on the subject, however, I have this terrible feeling in the pit of my stomach that we have not heard the last of this.
Ah, that's ok, then. I was a bit worried that that curried grass gunge some people drink and call "tea" is what you meant.SO why idnt I get this wonder tea then ?
This is also my opion if you are talking only herbal infusions. Im talking arabic based in black tea mixed with fresh herbs like mint , or sage , or cloves.
Tea bags?Sorry I was gone for a while, I was just getting my steel helmet and flak jacket from the loft as I had this strange feeling that the thread was getting a wee bitty dodgy.

What are they?
Long memories? Is that why you wear kilts?Athiest, I have not forgot the Quote quip, you should know us Jocks have long memories, what were we talking about again?
Tea, mate; tea!
