I used to drink hot chocolate until I started work. There was only coffee in the office, so I started drinking it. Now, I drink more coffee than all other liquids combined (water, juice, tea - hot or cold).
Tea, when I drink it, is always black - no sugar or milk.
Last summer, I started drinking my coffee black as well.
Give it time; if you are a developer, coffee will find its way into your life...

I run on coffee - only Starbucks. Most other brands are junk. And I never drink decaf. Life is way too short to drink decaf!

You're apparently having a different scale in the US.
Over here, Starbucks is the kind stuff my wife is drinking.
She also likes light beer.

I have heard that Starbucks outside of the USA is not of the same quality. Family members in Australia have complained about their particular version of Starbucks, after visiting us and tasting the USA variety. That may explain the adverse reaction to the brand from some members here in the Lounge.
|

|
|
|
Perhaps the US variant has the kind of stuff in it that makes people fat, and thus they love it
|

Yeah! You may be right!

Going to Starbucks for coffee is like going to prison for sex.

I usually get take away, does that make it an open prison?

If they have to put flavouring in their tea, it must be really cr@p tea.
Find a distributor of good quality pu-erh.

I've drank all kinds of tea, but I only like the flavoured ones. Natural tea is just a little tasteless...

Er, yeah.
Look up "Victoria Wood's Nice Cup of Tea" on spottydick, or whatever, before putting rubbish like that into your body.
By definition, Indian teas are bluddy awful, because they're over-manufactured by British loonies who don't have a clue what they're doing -- the plants are treated more like tobacco than as the basis of a refined, healthy drink.
The Chinese drink more tea per capita than anyone else, but if you put Indian tea in front of them, they run away, screaming in horror.
Flavoured teas take that horrendously manufactured garbage, and vomit it through even more machines.

The next thing you know, you'll be refusing to talk to people to whom you've not been properly introduced, discussing the weather (and nothing else) with those to whom you have, and enjoying British sausages (AKA emulsified offal tubes).
The good news is that at this stage - Anglophilia is still curable.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I believe it's played with a ball and a bat, but I'm not even certain
It's totally unknown in the Netherlands (although I just Googled and there is a Dutch cricket team, crickey! )

It's actually quite enjoyable, with the right mindset.
Read that as after several G&T, ... I wonder if Nagy is into cricket?

I can't enjoy any kind of sports
I'm not even into football/soccer and/or ice skating!
Not even when the world championships are on.
That's quite rare in the Netherlands...
I just don't see the fun in seeing other people physically perform (either good or bad) and being hugely overpaid for it.

Why do you think professional athletes are overpaid? Are they not getting what the market will bear?
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Not only athletes, movie- and music stars too.
I guess it both appealing and appaling that you can make that kind of money in the entertainment business.

I was under the impression that the Lounge was the equivalent of "Speaker's Corner" in Hyde Park. Anyone may speak, anyone may heckle, and no one is required to listen.
