    How do you know what sh!t tastes like?

    Current ClientCo has a Tchibo machine that certainly seems to produce a substance that could pass for coffee.

    I had a couple of bottles and really enjoyed them - might be a little sweet for any more than a couple at a time, but very nice flavour and aftertaste I thought.

    They were only very slightly chilled by virtue of being stored in the utility room for a couple of days.

    Had a bottle of Old Crafty Hen the other night - very nice indeed

    Chamomile tea. It's Tazo "Calm" tea that you get in Starbucks, except I order mine by the boxload from Teaworld.

    Well, you did ask

    One has to have a little vice you know.

    Listen ! Time is passing.
