Instant coffee or filtered coffee?

[Mr. Mulder]

there's some actual real life coffee in the cupboard to make filtered coffee with but there’s no cream to make proper filtered coffee with, only milk to make instant coffee with, if I put some butter in milk and melted it would that make cream? :unsure:

there is also a field with a cow in it near by, its my understanding the cream comes from cows, would it give me some? :ermm:

instant coffee is always good, but this proper coffee is a rare find you understand :unsure:

would go and purchase some cream but the time is now 8:33pm and the co-op closes at 8:00pm :unsure:

[manker]

You haven't got a Spar nearby? I think I may move house if my Spar closed.

Btw, I put ordinary milk in filtered coffee. Tastes alrite, like.

[hobbes]

You really must live in a cave if the stores close at 8:00. Everything you need is 24/7 here, except alcohol which they stop selling at midnight (and start selling at noon).

I can't help you with your coffee question. I drink instant (Folgers) with whole milk and sugar. The taste is not an issue, I just slam it down for the caffeine, I am not a connoisseur of the stuff.

[Biggles]

The cow is good but it will come out as milk. In order to get cream first shake the cow. :shifty:

[Snee]

I reckon coffee is really made from monkeybaws or something.

The smell alone is enuff to turn me away.


But to answer one of your questions: I daresay butter melted in milk won't be a good substitute for cream, sorry.

[Virtualbody1234]

Make some real filtered coffee and add some milk. That's exactly what I'm drinking right now. :)

[Mr. Mulder]

your ideas intrigue me and you are each valid opinionated members of society :unsure: there is a 24/7 tescos but its a 2 and a half mile walk down unlit country roads, full milk with instant coffee can be, and quite often is teh stuff, but it seems a shame to waste this filtered stuff :ermm:

perhaps i will use full milk and instant coffee for now, and walk to the co-op tomorrow in search of cream and answers, the only problem with this is that it closes at 4pm on sundays, which would mean getting up early :ermm:

[Snee]

I liked this bit:


walk to the co-op tomorrow in search of cream and answers :lol: :huh:

[ruthie]

Go for the real deal..with milk, if you must. Instant is...well..nasty. Nothing like an excellently made cup of coffee..it is perhaps one of my favorite drinks.

[ruthie]

for what? :)

[ruthie]

LOL. Well, at least you aren't 62, eating organic veggies and running like a madman, all the while making inane comments.

[ruthie]

perhaps you meant temple?

[hobbes]

I get the feeling a fishing rod is going to show up soon. Don't know why :lol:


Wow, I couldn't type fast enough to get this post out before it arrived.

[ruthie]

I think I need more coffee.

[manker]

Wow, I couldn't type fast enough to get this post out before it arrived.JP has been rather deft with his rod today. Squeezing it in from all angles.

[ruthie]

Well, rods are good for that, aren't they?

[manker]

Well, rods are good for that, aren't they?Yes, but I don't think UKResident liked being on the receving end of JP's rod.

Altho' you took it well enough :ohmy:

[ruthie]

A rod by any other name.....is still a rod

[Snee]

Oo'er.

[ruthie]

:ohmy: :lol:

[Snee]

Ruthie took my rod well.

Today has been a good day.

I will remember it with much fondness.
But what will the scrote say? :unsure:

[ruthie]

He'd say he has the best woman ever.

[Snee]

That's liberal thinking right there.

[Biggles]

That's liberal thinking right there.


:lol: and none the worse for that. :01:

[ruthie]

Rofl

[Biggles]

He'd say that our dally was purely physical, whereas he and ruthie had a more cerberus relationship.


They have the teeth marks and collars to prove it. :lol:



:whistling Sorry Ruthie.

[ruthie]

I know, you couldn't resist. I almost made a few remarks too.
Too funny

[Spider_dude]

tim hortons plz

Cereberus was a threee headed dog in Greek mythology

I've seen you mention the Spar a few times now...do you not think the Spar is the most over-priced shop ever then? The fact they're open an extra 9 hours a day than most shops doesn't make this up to me. :dry:

All-Days > Spar.

It's cheap as fuck for beer, pop and crisps, I don't really buy much else. 20p per pack of Bobby's Prawn Cocktail Twists, £1.35 for 2 two litre bottles of Schweppes Lemonade and £5 for eight Orangebooms.

There is an All-Days nearby too but I think it's going to close down due to Spar pwnage.

The Spar on Mutley put his beer prices up over x-mas. I'm boycotting him now.

If I ever need a £5.60 packet of cigarettes at 5am they are quite good though. :01: :dry:

[manker]

I lost my Zippo lighter and two text books in the Fortescue on Mutley Plain while I was doing the nine before nine.

What a great idea that is, nine pints before nine o'clock - feck.

That's my local, I'll have a check in there tomorrow for your books and lighter.

[hobbes]

£5 for eight Orangebooms.

Google failed me, what are these thingeys?

[manker]

Cheers Cheese, it was about 7 years ago so that Zippo will probably be worth a fortune now :unsure:

I think I spelled it wrongly, hobbes. It's Dutch lager - maybe Oranjeboom?

You are right twice, both spellings are used.

I googled orangebooms NOT orangeboom.

If you see me on teh Antique's Roadshow tomorrow you'll know I found it.

[manker]

It had my name on it :(

Not manker, obviously.

[(>Zero Cool<)]

Somehow I doubt that the trading standards would allow this as a new advertising slogan, :unsure: however it would hit home with the man in the street. :01:


p.s. pop???? :huh: Do you still read the dandy? :unsure:

[manker]

Good point :D


I can't even think of a synonym for pop apart from soft fizzy drinks. What do other people call it?

[Snee]

non-alcoholized.

[(>Zero Cool<)]

ginger :01:

[Lilmiss]

ginger



What, what?




:blushing: :whistling

[Snee]

Rhymes with minger.

[Lilmiss]

Gee tanks Snny.

Shatter my ego some more, why dontcha. :unsure:

[Snee]

OK, uhm. You look weird dressed in black. :unsure:

[(>Zero Cool<)]

:blushing: :whistling


:lol:

funnily enough you did spring to mind :lol:

[manker]

Pop >*

[Lilmiss]

Oh....Urm, cheers.
Both of ya in fact. :unsure:

[hobbes]

US terms:


Uptight guy: Do you want a carbonated beverage?
Missouri: Do you want a soda? (soda water means "carbonated")
Iowa: Do you want a pop?
Texas: Do you want a Coke?

For example:

Gimme a coke.
What kind?
7up.
ok

This seemed weird to mean that a brand name could represent the whole spectrum of carbonated beverages.

You could also say, "Do you want a cola?"

All of these will get you some soft drink. Oh yeah, that is another term. "Soft" meaning "no alcohol".

Hobbes was brought up asking for soda.

[manker]

For example:

Gimme a coke.
What kind?
7up.
okThat is pretty weird :lol:

Soft can also mean non-carbonated so I still say pop is the best generic term for a non-alcoholic carbonated beverage. I guess Wales has something in common with Iowa. Cool :unsure:

[NikkiD]

Mmmmmmm coffee... has to be filtered, preferrably Tim Horton's. Cream is better, milk will do in extreme situations.

[hobbes]

That is pretty weird :lol:

No, I would slowly walk away from a relationship with Iowa.

Iowa is primarily an agricultural state. That means they f*ck sheep.

Iowa is the Possil of the US.

:rolleyes: in fact :rolleyes: twice cause I know how much you love this smiley

I believe I shall now call it a 'non-alcoholic carbonated beverage', though I fear I may bit burned at the stake by the first shopkeeper I ask for such an item. :ermm:

On topic, I like coffe sweets etc but don't like coffee as a drink, sorry non alcoholic non carbonated hot beverage :blink:

[ruthie]

Iowa..where men are men, and sheep are scared.

[manker]

This seemed weird to mean that a brand name could represent the whole spectrum of carbonated beverages.I've been sitting here racking my brain trying to think of a UK based example of using a brand name instead of the product.

Cigarette papers:

FFS, the Spar only had Swan Rizlas.
Twat, Swan Rizlas are shit, they don't stick properly.
I know but they didn't have any Rizla Rizlas

:blink:

[Cheese]

I call it "non-beer".

[(>Zero Cool<)]

. That means they f*ck sheep.




:lol:

Wales is like Iowa

In Iowa they fook sheep...do I really need to continue :shifty:

Did you make it :edgeofmyseat:

I want to blow my nose, give me a Kleenex.

For instance, you might say that a girl stuffs her bra with Kleenex.

I was 20 before I learned that the generic term was "paper tissue".

The only people who use "rolling papers in the US are making joints (or spliffs as you seem to call them).

[Mr. Mulder]

oh noze! :ohmy: after a long and mysteries journey, the cooperative made it known that they are in fact, sold out! :unsure: i questioned the shop keep, but he let nothing slip, his years of training had served him well today :ermm: had there been a cream crises during the night? :unsure: will i have to venture further out into town, the main land :unsure:

from what I can remember, buses on a Sunday run at three hour intervals, if i could somehow board one of these vessels, the truth would be no more than a 15minute journey away, fraught with suspicious people who also unveil them selves at public transport :ermm: this will indeed be a difficult quest :unsure:

In talking with an English bloke last night about a totally unrelated matter, I discovered a fine example from UK... as he was talking about needing to Hoover the carpet, instead of saying vacuum.
