And how can you call American Football Cool???? its a poofters version of Rugby.... ← Which Rugby is that mate? League or Union? Then there's cricket LOL Watch all the Yanks chuck trying to bowl. @ DS Good one mate. Let them into the Commonwealth @ Para yes- tea. Lovely stuff. White, two sugars. And warm beer. ← League and Union are both better than American Football will ever be..... but i have to agree it would be damn funny trying to watch the Yanks play Cricket...... im just looking foreward to the 2 Union internationals coming up.... South africa this weekend then were gonna tank Australia next weekend LOL ← Depends I guess- the best players the wallabies have are all ex Leagure players. In Eastern Australia at least league is more popular than Union- Guess it depends on which state ur in too. The ever present AFL is well followed (AFL is basically irish Rules BTW). @ Para- BTW mate too funny mate. Indeed and BTW whats wrong with drinking tea? U do realise I will hunt u down next time we Play VBS mate Edit:- I would like to apologise on behlaf of Australia for Steve Irwin.

We have yet to reach the bombastic heights required for us to trade our stout collective manhood for a cup of tea and stiff-lipped snobbery. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ← That me the British way- certianly not the Aussie way- Beer, Sunscreen and fast bowlers....unless ur Shane Warne and have a hefty phone bill. @ Assault Reserve:- It's only humour- and it's very tame at that. As u can see we have ripped into each other as well. It's expected and normal. Esp with the Brits and Aussies....warm beer. We are all on the same side. Doesn't stop us having a bit of fun.

snared_gambit Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 @ Para- BTW mate too funny mate. Indeed and BTW whats wrong with drinking tea? ← It's just nasty. I tried it for the first time last weekend, and it's just blech. I can't see how you can drink the stuff regularly. If I need a drink with caffeine, I'll take Coke or coffee. Coffee tastes like chalk black, but it's better then plain tea, or for that matter, tea with sugar or whatever else you put in it. Well, this doesn't really matter, because I live in Utah.

Parabellum Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 @ Gordo: Nothing's wrong with drinking tea. I regularly enjoy a cup myself.

Dannik Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 I regularly enjoy a cup myself.← Para, what brand do you drink? The best I've found (without going to gourmet brands) in North America is Tetley's. Red Rose is crap. Too much dust in the bags. Grocery store brands, ditto. Tazo, out of Seattle (afaik Starbuck's house brand in the US, as it is here) is fantastic teas and tissanes. It is all about technique though. A spot of tea is an art form, just like really good coffee takes practice, quality beans, and good hardware. Mind you, the fact I used to sell gourmet coffee/tea for a living had some influence on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife typically puts honey and/or sugar in our green tea. It makes an excellent sipping drink for those times when we like to just sit and talk.

If it's any good the way you tell me to do it, I'll become a fan. Iced tea is nasty plain, but stuff like Lipton's raspberry and even the lemon iced teas are pretty tasty.
