Now that's how to write a complaint letter to a firm! I like it! I just hope I never to meet this extremely scary Wendi Aarons!
I feel sorry for the husband.......if she still has one! :)

"Communism is Soviet power plus the electrification of the whole country." - Vladimir Lenin quotes. So what we can conclude from this formula, pure math:
1. Soviet Power is Communism minus the electrification of the whole country .
2. The electrification of the whole country = Communism minus Soviet Power.
So what about Post Soviet Power?

I can smell it off that post! Pour me one please, with a touch more milk. Thanks. Have a biscuit. Or a stroopwafel, i have a few left.
I'm just enjoying a Greggs Mince Pie with an extra-large Mug of my favourite Coffee ... Lidl's Java Sumatra - strong, yet milky, and with two Sugars ... Mmmmmmmm! ;o>
I have never eaten Gregg's food. They don't have them in Ireland, and just never had the opportunity. But I do regret not trying one of these in Coventry on friday...https://www.goodreads.com/photo/group...
heheh... my new obsession just began,First thing I bought Air Press two months ago...
next thing I found this,
http://coffeeblog.co.uk/
...and craziness took off...
Already checked Lavazza Oro and Qualita Rossa (the latter drinking right now),
Taylors Of Harrogate couple titles, Cafedirect etc.
Next update was grinding coffee beans on my Nutri Ninja Blender. Smell, mmm....
And I'm a newbie, REAL coffee gourmets NEVER buy stuff in supermarkets, they go to Huehuetanango when the moon is full...
alright, got carried away.
Thanks for suggestion suzysunshine, haven't tried Lidl's Java Sumatra yet.
Post Soviet wrote: "Thanks for suggestion suzysunshine, haven't tried Lidl's Java Sumatra yet"I tried out a packet of each of the Lidl Coffees when I first got my De'longhi Coffee Machine a couple of years ago - as someone had said how good they were on the Amazon Forums.
I found most of them were okay but a little too weak on flavour for me whilst a couple were quite strong but far too bitter to my taste - however the Java Sumatra was an immediate favourite and has ended up being the only Coffee that I have been buying ever since.
I've discovered that I most definitely prefer a stronger, richer and really full-flavoured Coffee and this one always manages to hit the spot for me.
I really must get around to starting to experiment with trying out other brands and blends myself - but, in the meantime, Lidl's Java Sumatra is my favourite everyday Coffee ;o>
Gingerlily - The other Stroopwafel Sister! wrote: "I have never eaten Gregg's food.

I buy in bulk and fill up the Freezer with them ;o>
You can zap them for 20 - 30 seconds in the Microwave from frozen if you like them warm but they don't freeze to be rock-hard and solid and so they can be eaten straight from Freezer if you are really fancying one and can't wait to indulge yourself ... ERRR? ... or so I've heard anyway! ... (*giggles*)
try taylor's 'hot lava java' - it's a 6, and fairly industrial, and is the best cup i get out of my de'longhi. was quite dismissive about the 'pod' machines, but the tassimo at work produces a fine espresso.
My best ever Hot Chocolate came out of a very small Tassimo Machine that was in a Waiting Room in a local Private Hospital. I only went for a few appointments but that free Drinks Machine turned me and Mum into a right pair of naughty greedy kids! - LOL!!!We would go very early and have a Hot Chocolate each on arrival - then another just before my Appointment, AND another one when I came out if no-one was looking! We would both need to use the Loo before we left to come home again and which ever one of us came out of the Loo first would often have got us both another Hot Chocolate just waiting to be drunk before we finally made it out of the Hospital Door! ... HA HA HA!!! ;o>

Bit pricey though.
I liked a review on Death Wish coffee,

Seems he wrote it being asleep.
Gosh, I feel a right philistine cos I drink

As I said, philistine.
"I do get the Bodum plunger out"doesn't that make you walk a bit bouwly leggit, val? (boom) :)
........but, yeah, philistine! :)
Val wrote: "Gosh, I feel a right philistine cos I drink ..."I was raised by parents who would only ever drink Mellow Birds Instant Coffee and only discovered the pleasure of drinking real Coffee when I started to treat myself to the occasional one at Costa - which hit the Coffee craving spot for a while - but I now find it to be nothing special on any discernible flavour and also far too expensive to continue to do too often.
I bought both my M&D and my friend in Cumbria a very simple easy-to-use De'longhi Coffee Filter Machine each but, in all honesty, I get to use and enjoy them much more than anyone else does - as my friend just drinks whatever is the quickest and nearest to hand and my M&D have got themselves set in the habit of preferring to pay for their almost daily Coffee treats out instead.
I am still predominantly a Tea drinker but these fab Machines have helped to save me a lot of money and allow me to have a really great Coffee whenever I suddenly feel like I want one ;o>
Val wrote: "Gosh, I feel a right philistine cos I drink..."I stopped drinking instant coffee at home about a year ago. (I still drink it at work because making fresh coffee makes too much mess.) Apart from the fact that it's much nicer, the faff involved in making fresh coffee has cut my consumption in half, which I'm sure is a good thing. I don't use a pod system because my household already creates far too much plastic waste. I have an espresso maker (de'Longhi: a Christmas present from many years ago), a very cheap filter machine from Asda, and an early-seventies vintage art-deco percolator. The latter is one of my most treasured possessions.
I've discovered I really like a strong full-flavoured Coffee - and preferably one that has a really rich taste, is also slightly 'smoky' too if possible, and with a hint of a honey finish to it ... if anyone has come across a good one?When I am out and about and have really enjoyed a Coffee, it has usually turned out to be a French Dark Roast on asking about it ;o>
Have a stainless steel insulated plunger, works a treat. That Ethiopian gear from Aldi is some good shit.Only drink it black and soupy.
Good coffee shouldn't be sullied with milk ;0

Report on Scottish news of a buffalo missing in Fife.
Was a restaurant taking 'buffalo wings' too literally?
Lez wrote: "Report on Scottish news of a buffalo missing in Fife."Is this a cryptic crossword clue?
it is cryptic, but it's just a reference to the closure of a local leisure centre! (thae fifers think thur a good bit classier than the aberdonians!)
It really does look as if it should be on CTC. So much so that I'm going to have to try to figure out the answer.Could it be Jackie Leven? Jackie Bird presents the Scottish News, and Leven is in Fife.
Don't forget to shine your baubles up.
I wish you a bollocks Christmas and a tripe new year!
