Sergeant Wilson Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Sugar in tea and coffee is for the weak. @DA Baracus 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 I don't take sugar. I also am a grown up. If I did though, I would open them over the cup as that's where the sugar is supposed to go instead of shaking it like a Polaroid picture. Spoiler Hey ya! Even if you did open it over the cup the sugar would still scatter if you didn't shake the sachet though. FWIW, black coffee with 2 sugars is the perfect combination. I gave it a go a few weeks ago and can't believe In haven't been drinking it this way the whole time. Had one with milk the other day and really didn't enjoy it. The milk must bitter the coffee slightly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Annoying advert for Walt Disney World on here. Why do I need to go to Florida. I live in Edinburgh. It's a theme park run by a Mickey Mouse council with Goofy councillors. Anyway Walt was a Nazi. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phones, Xbox, social media etc. That seems to be the way it's always been; certainly for the past century, at least. The thing that amazes me is that people will grow up complaining about their parents having a go at their generation, then go on to do exactly the same with the next. Apparently Yer Da creeps up on folk without them noticing. Anyway, today's PTTGOYN is waking up halfway through the night in a lovely dreamy fog, taking a trip to the toilet, then collapsing back into bed for another 3-4 hours of blissful sleep...only for the alarm to go off because it's not halfway through the night at all. Possibly the worst feeling in the world, and all too common once the dark mornings kick in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly the worst feeling in the world, and all too common once the dark mornings kick in. The worst! Being a man of a certain age, I regularly make the trip to the toilet in the night as well. I take a tablet just before bed (not a blue one) and usually just take a sip of water with it. For some unexplained reason, last night I downed a glass of water before I had realised what I was doing. This morphed into three pees before the alarm went off. Said for years that if someone can invent a sanitary way to pee without getting out of bed, they'll be the next Steve Jobs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of moving the whole body, the transporter locates the wee-wee and jobbies, wheechs it all out and zooms it into space. Notice there's no bogs on the Enterprise? That's why. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But emails out of the blue demanding I fill in forms...back of the queue. That means you need to deal with 2 emails. Just completing the reference is half the hassle. It's the prospective employer who is asking and most want a checkable history. Edited September 30, 2021 by Sergeant Wilson 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
