Hi
Just to clarify...I am a Kiwi, of mostly Scottish decent.
So, a colonial and oppressed by the English invader!
Though not quite as badly as the Irish and Welsh I'll admit.
So...I have no great love for England...especially their rugby and cricket teams :mad:
However I have even less love for the destruction of the English language by you rebels :soap:
Tea should be hot...but coffee is far superior...thanks for that South America
BTW...starbucks is NOT coffee...it is corporate swill and not even close.
I have traveled far and wide and it is hard to get good coffee no matter where you are on this planet.
However it is nearly impossible to get anything remotely like proper coffee in the US.
Why do you guys dilute everything?
It's like you cannot stand anything to be it's proper strength
Beer, I totally agree should be cold...but I stand by the above comment about US Bud...it is, by far, the worst beer I have ever tasted.
All cheep beer is not worth drinking...no matter where it comes from.
There joke here with the beer from Queensland called XXXX (said four "X") is that it was called that as they were unable to spell shit correctly.
(excuse the language but the joke doesn't work if I censor it :-)...i'm sure you'll survive eh!)
I though the point about petrol prices was interesting...and it was written in the year 2000 IIRC.
Yes...it cost a lot of money to run a car in the rest of the world...you are just catching up. Get used to it...it sucks.
So, I feel this discussion has been very civilised indeed.
Now we just need to get the spell-checker that is working on these posts to actually spell correctly...and we'll be sorted.
Hurrah!
I'm off for a strong cup of coffee and to watch some real sport...that's cricket!
Howz that! (that's a wee joke for the rest of the civilised world)
