The Royals are an anachronism in this day and age. Over privileged and underworked. Phil the Greek is a vile nasty old man whose wish is to return as a plague after dying in order to wipe out the human race.

 

All that hoo-haa on the media about the baby's name, and the bookies dropping bets and losing millions etc. etc. Bonkers!

What's next? Royal baby's pictures with a silver spoon in her mouth on some souvenir mugs and tea towels for sale in one of those tacky touristic shops at Covent Garden and Oxford Circus? It's all far too dated, and getting embarrassing now. That child will be embarrassed herself at all that, one day.

 

If you say so.

 

Back just in time for Ed's humiliation

 

Brilliant, laughed my pants off

 

Well, I now see on the internet news that Yorkshire Tea has sent a personalised tea pack to the kid. They've named it as Charlotte's Tea, instead of Yorkshire Tea. She is too young to drink any tea FFS!

 

You're NEVER too young to begin one's tea career! This is, of course, very serious ****.

...Start the bitch early, I say!

 

I don't understand that^.

I didn't understand that before you edited, either.

Whacha mean, joz? Help the ignorant, dude.

 

Got you talking about their brand though didn't it .. for very little money.

 

Yorkshire tea???? I ****ing hate that ****. There are and never will be any tea plantations in Yorkshire. It's the worst crappiest tea stuffed in a box and labelled Yorkshire! Should be banned by the EU IMO

 

Totally.

It's awful, tasteless ****e!

 

You're reading far too much into it lol.

I'm just being silly... Ergo, I'm a rabid tea fan; so anyone that can start drinking tea as early as possible - so as to catch the unique English tea-drinking bug - is fine by me.

 

Yes, but cheap publicity, that's all. I prefer Steve the knitted monkey that promotes PG Tips. He's more authentic that the Royal baby for selling the tea.


Om......Shanti.........Shanti........Shanti....... ....and breathe, F1_fan!

I know. I mean, obviously anyone believing that the Yorkshire tea is Yorkshire's local produce has to be categorically dense for believing that. It's like someone believing that the Bodyshop sells bodies or a Tiger Balm is for tigers.

I also knew that the mere mention of Yorkshire tea would set you off! Now have a mug (or a cup with a saucer, if you're posh) of your fantastic Assam tea and relax.

No, it wasn't reading too much. It was just not making any sense of itself, then. I've got it, now. To paraphrase, what you mean is that tea can be drank at any age by the English, no one is too young to drink tea and Kate can even put the tea in the kid's milk bottle, if she likes. You also say that Yorkshire tea terrible. By using the word 'b!tch', you're just pretending to be either Snoop Dog or Eminem.

I'm a tea fan as well. I don't mind Yorkshire tea.

If F1 thinks I drink nasty tea, so be it. I can tell you that the types of fine teas I've drunk in my life is enough to keep F1 going forever! We have hundreds of types of teas in India. We grow tea in India. Not like Yorkshire, where they falsely pretend to be the Yorkshire tea growers.

 

My use of 'bitch', 'bitches' et al is always intended to be either comedic or affectionate; or both.

Defo not meant in the twattish gangstaz' misogynistic vein!

 

Sure.

Oh, God! I didn't say that you meant that, b!tch! No need to explain.

We all know you're a funny man, and it's good to be funny than miserable.

 

"Funny? Funny how?

Am I a clown? Do I amuse you?..."

 

Yes, you do, sir. You're a funny man with pleasant nature.

 

For the record...

 

Ok. You're still funny, though.

 

Joe Pesci's character: the embodiment of evil (although tame by I.S.'s standards! )

That classic, seminal scene is brilliantly acted by all.

 

You were nearly spot on back then

 

I would like to know where the fascination with Brits and tea drinking came together ? Even soaps TV programmes when a tragedy happens someone's died or sick,I'll put the kettle on make a cup of tea.super because a cup of tea makes everything so much better ? hahahaha

 

But it does!

I take great comfort when I hear those words, "Anyone for a cuppa?"... Even if I were to have just lost my right hand!

As a nation, we're incredibly into it-based.

 

Yep I love my tea, in fact .................................

 

Tea has calming properties and can reduce anxiety, maybe that's why

 

Me, too! It's just that Charlotte's Tea is going a bit too far and cheesy.

Well, I reckon it's a cold country, so people need to warm themselves up with a cuppa, or, shall I say, mugga, if you're not posh.

On the same note, it was my brother in India who came up for the excuse for excessive alcohol consumption in the UK, saying that people have to drink alcohol in the UK because it's really cold there. Yeah, right!

Tea does have therapeutic qualities, and except for staining your teeth, I don't think there's much harm in drinking it, as long as it's not too hot. Too hot tea would crack your teeth enamel. I think I'll lose my teeth by the time I'm 60 because I drink quite a hot tea. Oh, well. I'll just have to wear dentures, then. <shrugs>

 

You can drink warm red wine with a slice of orange or Lemon on top.Didn't know ordinary tea was therapeutic,thought that was only green tea etc.

 

Sure, but what does it help with, DYK?

Black tea consumption may reduce the risk of stroke.

Some RCTs have concluded, although with limited evidence that it can slightly lower systolic and diastolic BPs.

Caffeine and Theanine/L-enantiomer found in normal tea are found to give an uplift to the passive. Studies do not recognise tea as a medicine itself, but medicinal effects are noticed.

I read somewhere yesterday that 4 or more cups a day can potentially help reduce risk of heart-related diseases by up to 45%......

 

The problem with the English and their tea is that 99% of people have no idea what a decent cup of tea is or how to make one!

Would you like a cup of tea?

Yes please, what tea have you got?

Yorkshire

No, I asked what tea have you got?
