///////////Ok, this is an experimental thread, to prove or indeed disprove the long held theory of mine that not one single thread here make's it out alive without being hijacked by some smart ass ! Here goes nothing :-)
It's crap , it's innane, but that's the point !///////

Chai Tea

I love the aroma and taste of a good coffee and I'm partial to a cup of Earl Grey tea every now and then but I find I cant drink much tea and cant drink any coffee anymore. They give me too much buzz and, as you may have noticed, I don’t need any more buzz these days.

Where do you get your coffee beans Kitz. I recommend the place at the back of Powers court shopping centre. Gloria Jeans.. good range.. I don’t like the place much but the range of coffee the best.

In regard to hijacking I have until recently, always paid a token note of homage to the thread started but trying to tie the trailing hijack back to the original post. That is without losing the direction of the hijack you understand.. Freedom of speech and all that would suggest that if it is to be hijacked then that is the way it must go.

Just to get all this in one place...
Daremo is the biggest attention whore here.. It is his site right..
OOPS that is where I get kicked out lol..
As for Cuba.. well who knows. but the Datsun thing fits. it was a Nissan name used as a market tester for the US way back..
I guess the local lads down there can get rough too so why not. either that or Haiti!

**Please note this is not a Hijack. It is a running left foot note mostly in line with the above righteous post. :072:

[SyntaxHeir]

Non-alcoholic huh?
Well, I'll admit to being a sucker for those fresh fruit smoothies at the beach. You know the ones where you pick your ingredients from the little bar. "I'll have a half pound of strawberries a quart of blueberries and a banana." They toss it all in the blender throw in some cream and charge you 5 bucks for the thing but it's good stuff man!

[Rikku]

Anything with substantial amounts of caffine and taurine...but I cant drink anything hot...dunno why!

[TreeFrog]

Thats strange. How hot is too hot?
Is it because it hurts your teeth or is it something else..

Have you ever tried the fungus drink from tea kombuchatea? (http://www.kombuchatea.co.uk/)

[MrsMo]

Home-made lemonade from freshly squeezed lemons served in a tall glass over plenty of ice. 7 lemons, 2 quarts water (don't know how many liters that is), 3/4 C sugar (don't know the metric conversion for that either - sorry). Heavenly.

Oh, and if you've got a bad cold, the same recipe works heated up and served in a coffee mug - maybe with a nice slug of whiskey added just before drinking - to kill the germs, you understand. :icon_pidu

[Kitz E Kat]

//////////////Interesting , very interesting ...... five reply's and not a thread hijack in sight, I still contend that it's early day's yet !!!! ////////////

Actually, I kinda like all the potion's above, smoothie's, real lemonade, and lot's of caffine, mix that lot up and we got a killer drink :-)
Only thing I ain't mad about is the Earl Gray, it's kinda OK but I'd rather Green Tea, way more tasty, black off course, only big girl's drink tea with milk and sugar :-)

What a sad thread will someone please hijack it, with talk of naked girls dancing at midnight, copious drug taking, mindless vandalism, whatever...

[Daremo]

NO NO NO NO

NAKED GIRLS DANCING AT NOON -- NOT MIDNIGHT

Much easier to see and appreciate at noon. Plus an old guy like me has more energy at noon than at midnight <WINK WINK NUDGE NUDGE>

Does this count as you hijacking your own thread since you started the dancing girl talk?

[Kitz E Kat]

Does this count as you hijacking your own thread since you started the dancing girl talk?

Well it was a lure ! and it worked :-)

Who could resist the temptation to talk about naked girls dancing at any hour of the day !!!!

Hijack complete :-)

See , from where I am sitting, I cannot hijack my own thread, as it's my thread, ergo you just hijacked the thread.
Ok, this may be a somewhat spurious legal argument, but you dude's do practice entrapment so it works for me :-)

[Rikku]

At noon? Nah I gotta say, midnight for me...much more mysterious, leaves much more to the imagination...

[TreeFrog]

Hell ya I dont care if they dance all day and all night, as long as I get to watch and join in from time to time. :cool:

Oh and I only drink my tea with mik if it is presented to me by a dear old lady who just wants so much to give you a cup of tea. Otherwise it is black all the way. perhaps with lemon and or honey too..


Green tea is.. ya. I like the ones they serve in the little chinese places on More st. ( part of Dublins very own inner city China town )
Can we have the naked girls dancing and serving our non alcoholic beverage of choice?


Perhaps if it was a particularly sticky beverage they could do other things with it too. :eek: :D


////////
There I go again.. trying to re thread the thread whilst still keeping the hijack going.. quite fun I think.

Edit> Hey if you see a few of us on at the same time.. open up the chat tool. !!

Back in the bad old day's when I made a living decorating , I did do a job for a little old lady, that alway's gave me tea with milk :-(
No matter who many times I said I did not take milk!
There was a plant near the table, it started to look a bit dodgy near the end of the week, I don't think plant's like milk either :-)

[SyntaxHeir]

Since we've already been de-railed I'll break the non-alcoholic rule and suggest Whiskey Punch or Hot Toddy depending on your region.

Hot water
Sugar
A bit of lemon
Cloves or cinammon
Whiskey [or Rum for the Toddy version]

I intentionally left out quantities, just play with it and you'll get it to taste right.

A Little history about the world of milk in this country. I expect it is similar to other milk stories in other parts of the world too.

This country was technically listed as a third world country (politically incorrect statement these days) in the 1950s and some of 1960s.
Not much local industry except farming.

We got a chance to join the EEC and took it.
Now one of the big things in Europe at the time was the milk and beef mountains. there was too much being produced!!
However we did not know how to capitalise on anything else..
Part of the deal for joining the EEC was that milk and beef production would be cut by something like 1/3.
There was of course a subsidy available for the remaining farmers. So the government spent the remaining time before these quotas came in, boosting the milk and beef production as much as possible.. Ironic!

All the other industries in Ireland wasted away as the government pumped up the grants and incentives for the milk and beef production.
They saw the situation with the milk pouring in (pun pun) and set up a government body called Board Bainne (pronounced "Bonya"). The Milk Board. Its job was to manage the milk and sell as much of it as possible. Marketing..
We are now some years down the road and consume more milk than probably any country in the world. !! That is speculation but we consume more milk than I think is good for the average human. Technically we humans should all be lactose intolerant. But for some reason most are not.! Anyway it is good in small amounts im sure but... well you get the picture.

Another part of the whole EEC EU thing was we sold (note it was a sale for money).. we sold our under used finishing industry to the rest of the countries. we had the biggest natural fishing resource in Europe and we sold it.. Dhhh!
What did we get. We built roads all over the country and some big nobs got big cars and a holiday house in the other countries in the sun.

I likes my tea black and my naked ladies naked and my whiskey with no ice.

[SyntaxHeir]

Fascinating! Thanks for that story! :D

[TreeFrog]

Good Sir, I resemble that remark.!!
If we had more fish here I would challange you to the fish dance at dawn!

:armata_PD

[Kitz E Kat]

Yeah , we got "free" milk at school, had to drink a bottle of the stuff everyday! Like it or not !

[Daremo]

I would've thought that Irish kids would automatically get a Guinness at recess.

Maybe a good Irish Whiskey ( I like Jameson's)

Does one dilute your whiskey, or just straight out of the bottle ?

Your preference has been noted and will be retained for future possible use :-)

[Daremo]

It depends solely upon the whiskey. A general rule is as follows:

Rot-gut whiskey, sometimes called torpedo juice by military personnel is used with a mixer of some sort.

A normal house-brand of whisky is usually on-the-rocks

But a REAL, HONEST_TO_GOD, sippin whisky of the first order is always enjoyed at room tempurature. If absolutely necessary you can show the whiskey bottle a picture of an ice-cube but under no circumstances must any actual dilutant or adulterant be used to annoy the whiskey.

[Kitz E Kat]

That's perfectly fine and dandy, the man know's how to drink whiskey :-)
Some year's back , while sitting in a bar, an American ordered a pint of Guinness, which he was handed after the obligitory wait ( take's awhile for a pint to settle, something tourist's dont really know about) .
He asked for ice in it ....
The look's he got !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ah that was fun :-)

I might add, he was given ice in his Guinness , yuch !

[SyntaxHeir]

I believe Murphy's and Wexford's have instructions right on the can to let it settle a minute or two.

I agree with the whiskey discussion however, I am inclined to drink stout or porter if a quality whiskey isn't available. Mixers and ice don't cover it up.

If there is no stout or porter OR quality whiskey then what sort of pub is this and how did I get here!?

[Kitz E Kat]

I believe Murphy's and Wexford's have instructions right on the can to let it settle a minute or two.


See, there was a day when you could walk into a bar and order a pint of Guinness. This very action would require you to wait (even in an empty bar) for several minute's, for the pint of Guinness to be handed over.
It take's time to "cook" as it where, and time worthwhile I might add :-)

Well that was then , this is now, Guinness was losing market share, hell it would seem the generation of today could not hang around waiting for a pint of Guinness, they had to have it "now" !
They can't wait !

So million's of $ spent to try speed up the "cooking" to satisfy the kids , result, a dodgy pint of Guinness!

Apply that across the board, I know we all have to do mad shit to make the rent, but at the expense of saying "hello" , surly not, but it would seem so :-(

The world is overtaking us, the day's of waving at a stranger are nearly done with, I like driving down the country, you wave at everybody, they wave back, it's totally fuckin awesome :-)

I really do need a blog :-)

[SyntaxHeir]

The world according to Kitz!

The reality of it is, I should just shut the f*** up :-)

[SyntaxHeir]

That's exactly what happens to 90 percent of the blogs out there. Once you get it started you run out of things to say.

Me, and having nothing to say are incompatible :-)

[TreeFrog]

You know what Kitz!!

If you started a blog I might have to bribe Daremo with some very special Irish whiskeys and few other very unique novelties to make sure your site never stays up for long.. I mean what would this place be if you were not here.. our one and only citizen.. we would be almost be back at square 1 again.. I'd have to take some sort of strange drugs to try and write as much as you and I'm not sure if I could hold out very long.. We could try doing it in shifts I suppose..
No for sure....it would be well worth paying off Daremo just to make sure you never really got to use a blog. And if you are thinking he cant be bought.. think again. there is surly something I can lay my hands on that he would be interested in.. Those US boys are suckers for a bit of shamrock or a few knickknacks from the terrorist shop.. Or perhaps a signed page of music from George Frideric Handel. He lived just round the corned in Dublin for many years!! it can all be arranged.

Give him whisky instead
The no alcoholic sort just to frustrate him.. make him write more

[SyntaxHeir]

What do they sell in terrorist shops I wonder?

[Rikku]

Ask Radical Ed...

[TreeFrog]

ya thought you might like that one.. a few people I know call tourists terrorists because of the impact they have on a place..

[Daremo]

Actually Treefrog, we have 3 Citizens now. Katz, Rikku and Syntax. To become a Citizen you need both of the following:

* Enough 'pints' from other members
* 500 posts.

You're coming along. Soon you will join the ranks of 'Citizens'.

(Great, now I'm sure we're gonna see a bunch of 'Frog Spam' hit the forum)

[Rikku]

great so like in a few weeks everyone in Dublin is gonna be calling me and Miss Rikku terrorists? :p

[Daremo]

You're English -- they already do ...

So far I like to think I have generally kept my posts in line with a quality rather than quantity approach..

Humm the idea of frog spam.. not that there is much on a frog but the idea of putting the rest in a spam baloney type thing.. interesting... frog sausage even..
put that in your hole.. !!
