Brits - say it isn't so!

[Nero]

Brits are drinking animal dung

Just tell me one thing - does it live up to your standard of blandness?

[JENNIFER]

The sad thing is that there are people in London that will willingly pay for it.......a cheap cup of coffee from my local discount supermarket would taste much the same anyway 

[Jay]

oooo a hit on the brits... ooo.. I will remember this.. oh yes.. I will *evil*

[Nero]

uh huh 

[lady amarant]

Ooooh. I saw a TV insert on this a few months back at Reuters.com. Apparently it really is all the rage. Thank goodness I don't drink coffee.

Grasshopper dipped in Chocolate anybody?

[Pica Pica]

I nearly bought a packet of this in York - and I don't even drink coffee.
Unfortunately I didn't and cant say much more about this, except the urge to drink cat->-bleeped-<- coffee hasn't left me in the four years since.

Buying the speciality beans was much cheaper, 30 quid for a packet - a good many cups for that.

Secondly: take squirrel off hook above the stove;
Thirdly: get a funnel and insert into squirrel's backside;
Fourthly: Put bowl on table and hold squirrel above the bowl.
Fifthly: pour hot  water into funnel.
Sixthly: hold both ends of squired tightly and shake vigorously then pour into bowl;
"Ta, da!!" Final result, The best tasting squirrel soup on this side of the Rockies!

Yah that taught them squirrels!!! lol

turd coffee? Not my cup of tea.

[RebeccaFog]

As the resident expert on turds, I feel the need to point out that the brief article neglected to say that the beans the civets eat are difficult to make tasty coffee from.  After passing through the animals digestive system, the beans are better prepared to release the great flavor that had been locked within.

I can't afford it, so I can't say what it tastes like, though one word comes to mind.

[Sheena]

Thanks, I needed the laugh.

[cindybc]

Hi Sheena, Happy that you did. I love humor as do a few others here.

[RebeccaFog]

what else can we make fun of Brits for?

any ideas?

[tekla]

a) Losing the American Revolution
b) losing the war of 1812 to America (bonus for the best troops getting their ass kicked and turning and running at New Orleans - even though it didn't matter, the war had ended the week before).
c) Losing WWI
d) The Treaty of Versailles
e) Almost losing WWII
f) Ruining the career of Allen Turing after he helped them win the war (no points for America here, we did the same to Robert Oppenhimer)

And the winner is....

British cooking, quickly followed by the Prince using a military aircraft to get a little something from his GF last weekend, not even the Bush twins are that bad.

[RebeccaFog]

oh yeah, I just read that helicopter thing today.

[Pica Pica]

if you could've,, you would've.

[RebeccaFog]

not me.  I'd have consideration for the neighbors and the other occupants of the place.


I, unlike your prince, am a gentleperson.

unless, you are saying that if I could do his girlfriend, I would have.  That would be correct.

Giggety.

Hi Rebis
You are a gentle person, me too. Maybe we should start gentle persons club

Cindy

sounds like a great club!

[lady amarant]

Oh I just love this thread.

More things to make fun of Brits for:

The Spice Girls.
Chavs.
Gordon Brown.
The fact that there are more scare "English" dialects and accents in just greater London than all the rest of the world combined. And that's not counting the foreigners, who actually on the whole speak English fairly well.
