Unless it's your father's tea.

Because, as the Beastie Boys told us, you have to fight for your right to Pa's tea.

Well, obviously.

We have to stop for tea breaks.
And I can't fight weekends, either.

Hear, hear!

This is a multi-dimensional truth. Even Havelock Vetinari, The Patrician of Ankh-Morpork, decreed, when setting up a committee of inquiry, that they would never rest, except for statutorily-mandated tea breaks.

Thanks! - But is it Starbucks? Confused | :confused:

I take mine black and unsweetened and in very large volumes. Smile | :)

No way! I don't like their roast - it's too hard, makes the coffee taste burnt and bitter. And their water is too ... refined and "chemically". Our water comes is very, very soft because we're nearly all granite, with no local limescale - and that really makes a difference to the taste.

Interesting! I have had a couple of people mention to me that Starbucks outside of the USA is not of the same quality as here in the good ole States. I wonder: Is your Starbucks made from pure Arabica beans as it is here, or do they blend it with cheap and nasty Robusta beans? This will be interesting to research, as it will explain the difference. Robusta is very bitter and is often used as a filler in coffee blends to lower cost.

Long live Arabica! Java | [Coffee]

Very scary!

I created a codepen so you can take a look at it:

It needed some top margin because it rendered off-screen so I added that too.

Yeah, I tried it on one of my pages (just using "inspect element" and a bit of dynamic editing) and I am now looking for a excuse to use it somewhere - preferably in a error message! Poke tongue | ;-P

- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.
