Do you mean instant coffee or pre-ground coffee?

Instant coffee.

Percol make an instant coffee which is actually very good
almost comparable to proper coffee. In fact, better than some establishments "proper" coffee.

It's Nescafe Gold Blend in this office.
It's vile. I'm only drinking it because it's slightly nicer than the filth they vend in the machines.

I bought a little tub of Starbucks instant stuff a while ago, which was palatable, but I had the piss taken out of me ruthlessly for it. Fucking Uxbridge.

Percol do one called Espresso. It doesn't taste like an espresso, but it does taste like a long black.

Great thread well done!

Yeah, I know, right?
Doesn't seem much point in putting a huge amount of effort into a thread when it'll lurch along to 60 or so replies and then die.

I just had a BLT for lunch
they cooked the bacon fresh. It was nice.

What did you have for lunch?

I haven't had any lunch yet.
I don't get out until half one. I've had some digestive biscuits, though!

Oh wow!
I might go and get crisps later

Perhaps ask about favourite crisp flavours or something?

Rocksmith. A new "computer game" whereby you plug an actual guitar into the consul and it teachs you how to play
I think this is an excellent idea, anyone have objections or other things that could be well taught i the this fashion? Driving maybe

Or, you could get an actual guitar and have YouTube teach you how to play.

you do use an actual guitar though then the chords come up as you are supposed to play them
think it sounds great

And while we're shunning advancements and technology, you could learn it by candle light.

Well you shouldn't use a guitar, just bang sticks together and sing.

I'm not shunning an advancement, I'm suggesting that it is not quite the advancement it is purported to be.

(, Mon 12 Nov 2012, 13:13, Reply)
But it is, youtube and books can't react to what you're playing. That alone gives it a huge advantage.

I think my point is more that learning the guitar is pretty easy.
I'm not sure what this technology is adding to that.
How is your fiddling going? Are you still learning?
(, Mon 12 Nov 2012, 13:17, Reply)
But when you're talking about reacting to what you're playing
you mean "picking up on when you're fingering strings wrong", which you can hear. How's it going to help you?
(, Mon 12 Nov 2012, 13:18, Reply)
Well, presumably it can say "no, you did THIS when you should have done THIS"
"it's your third finger that's wrong, try again"

which would presumably be helpful.
(, Mon 12 Nov 2012, 13:22, Reply)
Really though, if you can't see what you did wrong
when you hear that it's wrong, no amount of computers are going to help you learn.
(, Mon 12 Nov 2012, 13:29, Reply)
Unless you can hear it's wrong but can't work out what's right.
Or keep track of your progress in an understandable metric.

You simulate driving but if you tailgate the person in front, or cut them up, or don't use your indicators, then your computer stabs you in the heart.

If you sit in the middle or outside and don't move over when someone comes up behind you, then you deserve all the tailgating that you get

No, I get told I drive too fast, generally
but driving too close for whatever speed you're doing is just asking for a crash.

This is correct.
Those Tassimo machines (or whatever they are called) that you put the little packs of coffee in to are a fucking rip off. Nothing wrong with some freshly ground coffee brewed in a cafetiere.

The tea and coffee here are shit. Plus the Poles don't seem to buy fresh milk, but have UHT. Disgusting in tea.

I'm pretty sure she could punch harder than me now and I was a lot more gangly ten years ago.

I don't know what you're referring to
Is it some sort of sex act? Pineapple pushing sounds like a euphemism. Are you suggesting that you're a nonce?
