Do you know what film it will be H1ppy? Or do you just have a bad feeling? Having clocked an impressive 27 hours of Grey’s Anatomy over the weekend as doomed method of escapism, I have run out and been forced to return to the Gilmore Girls, despite knowing what happens in the end.
My housemate makes my lunch for me sometimes…That reminds of a funny thing! lolz! …Our bathroom is laid out in such a way that the shower is directly in front of the window which looks out on a busy shopping street. The glass is frosted, but insufficiently so, hence there is also a shower curtain across the window. But my (other) housemate doesn’t like the curtain because it clings while you shower… So far I have had several phone calls at work from the lascivious hairdresser opposite asking if he had a date that night, because he was washing very thoroughly. Then last night the owner of the curry house next to the hairdressers rang the bell and demanded that I come across the street and see how necessary it was that I enforce curtain usage, as his customers were becoming agitated.

What you need is a girlfriend to make your lunch for you. Then when you open your lunch box it's like an exciting surprise!

in the morning louise does always make enough coffee for me to have some when I get up. I always appreciate that, but it means I miss out on the thrill of grinding the beans, which is the kind of thing that my demographic enjoys. It provides the much needed 'authenticity via rustic toil' factor that I highlighted in my previous devastating study of middle class food habits here, on this very board.

I say 'always' - this has been going on for about three weeks. It's only since I bought the grinder that she's been drinking coffee in the morning. Before that it was tea. Tea! With milk! Not cool.
Fact!
Did you know that adding milk to tea is considered by the Yanks to be putting on airs and graces?

I have a cup of instant coffee in the morning. With milk. Reema has tea with milk. Usually it's made by whichever one of us gets up first. Usually her.

i tend to jive with jasmin tea, and usually only when I've just tidied the flat and want to have a calm moment in ordered surroundings, or if I'm massively hungover.

Pia sometimes buys Red Bush tea which I quite enjoy, but most of the time we have PG Tips or some such horsehit. Actually, Misc came over once and bought his own coffee and we had that most mornings. It was a vry fancy instant, yet rich brand. It went a suprisingly long way. So basically if you're reading this Misc we've run out of coffee and we need you to bring some more please. Thanks mate.

Makes me sound like a right cunt, doesn't it? I arrived a bit early that morning and so I thought I'd save some pricey studio time by nipping in to the supermarket to buy all the things that we usually have to pause mid rehearsal for - a load of nasty pop, crisps and chocolate. I remembered that you didn't always have coffee and I need coffee so I thought I might as well. It was Carte Noir (Un café nommé désir), and I only bought it because it was on special.
At work, we have Kenco Red (aka Really Smooth), Kenco Blue (aka Really Rich), Nescafé Gold Blend and some other expensive looking Nescafé version in a black and pink jar. I can't drink the Nescafé because they still rape African babies to death for fun and profit, so I have to go for the one of the Kencos. Blending the two produces the ultimate instant: Kenco Purple - Quite Rich and Quite Smooth. It's the best of both worlds.

I can't really comment on the Blue Mountain. I bought it for my girlfriend, who used to drink it all the time when she was earning West End megabucks (she's between jobs at the moment). I have tried it. It's "nice". I sully my coffees with milk and sugar though, so I think it's fully over my head.

I like the way that thread starts as a civilised exchange of information about caffeine consumption and turns swiftly into a thread about feminine involuntary micturation.
Blue Mountain coffee is good, but Monsoon Malabar is da bomb. (Or siiiiick, or whatever it is the Yoof say these days to mean something is good.) I'm immune to caffeine in coffee but apparently the baby isn't so I have to be careful about timing coffee and feeds.
