    Default Tea vs Coffee?

    Which do you like better?

    Being a prim and proper English gentleman, I have to go for tea. Though I'm not an addict nor do I not like coffee. It depends what mood I'm in really, though I'd rather be in a mood which leads to me drinking tea; a much more subtle flavour. Coffee is hard and bitter, more for when I feel like smashing something.

    here is some drink for thought: http://www.psychologytoday.com/artic...28-000002.html

    I favour 'brown'. It's what comes out of army canteens at the end of an exercise. Tastes the same regardless of the label - 'tea', 'coffee', 'beef and onion soup' - it's all the same, and also very very welcome when cold, wet and knackered.

    *But otherwise, tea - you get to have scones and cucumber sandwiches with it. Not that coffee doesn't have it's place...

    No they aren't. I like strong coffee black. I usually just go to starbucks and get a tall house blend, with MAYBE a tiny bit of skim milk, otherwise just black.

    Hot chocolate is alright, although a bit sweet for a me. I drink it on occasion. I really like Starbucks Peppermint Hot Chocolate. Now that is good stuff.

    Hot chocolate is the only warm beverage I will drink. Can't stand tea or coffee. I'm assuming you aren't including sweet iced tea in the "tea" category.

    I prefer coffee over tea. I do drink green tea every evening though.

    Stage one we say nothing is going to happen.
    Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.
    Stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there's nothing we can do.
    Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it's too late now.

    Many years ago I helped build a private railroad for a tourist attraction in the middle of a really hot summer.

    My job was bolting the rails together. Both the rails and the bolts had been salvaged from a one hundred year old shipwreck, and they had a hundred years worth of rust on them.

    In order to do the job I was given a ratchet with a five foot extension handle. Basically it was a matter of standing over the rail connection, and pulling the ratchet handle toward my chest to tighten the bolts. Even with the leverage from that five foot ratchet handle, it was a really tough job. After just a couple of weeks, I kid you not, my pecs and biceps were as big and hard as Schwarznegger's in his prime.

    Every couple of hours we would stop for a smoko. The boss would light a fire with some scraps of wood, put the billy on and boil some water and throw some tea in it.

    We'd have it with some sugar to taste, can't recall now if we used milk at all, but that tea was far and away the best beverage I have ever tasted. It really was like manna from heaven. It seemed to flow into every pore of my body like rejuvenating nectar. Ever since, I've had a soft spot for tea.
