noooooooo
I've had enough with the rubbish tea

I'm having champagne with Becky.
( Lisette von Falcon, Wed 15 Jul 2009, 20:04, Reply)

Then go and have your fancy champagne.
Never mind that I slaved making iced tea from tea and ice for a whole ten minutes.

no one makes iced tea like americans
we rule at iced tea

And you make Long Island iced tea
which is like liquid death the morning after.

I blame it on the tequila...you can taste it for days after.

Before i say good evening to you all in turn...
i've just read beckjsbx's thread below and i think i might be part of the "gay shift" she refers to! LOL i don't care what a pain in the arse she thinks she can be but she does make me laugh with her Lo-Cal vitriol ;-)
( blaireau69 , the Cumbrian Travis Bickle., Wed 15 Jul 2009, 20:11, Reply)

Pff. The gay shift is to all intents and purposes through the night.
Anyway, it's quality not quantity that counts, right?
( Maladicta, Wed 15 Jul 2009, 20:12, Reply)

i just checked...she says the gay got 51 posts...
that was me and roota and you and ffreddz and kristine.
LOL it's a week joke but it did make me laugh ;-)
the only thing worse than being talked about?
( blaireau69 , the Cumbrian Travis Bickle., Wed 15 Jul 2009, 20:18, Reply)

Hah. Logic FAIL.

( Maladicta, Wed 15 Jul 2009, 20:19, Reply)

I think being an illiterate mong could be worse
but hey that's just me.

Oh internet, really. Quality not quantity? To start a thread with 'Today's sweet treat is chocolate chip meringues and there is a variety of tea on the trolley.' is quality? On b3ta?

Well that's a bit off, isn't it?

on a scale of 1-10 with 1 being maybe a bit gay...

given that Becky never actually said that you, personally, were gay. This is great internetting.

Misapprehension!
UK heat is totally different to most US heat.

UK heat is like Northern Florida/Southern Georgia in the summer.

Even though the temperature isn't numerically high it WEIGHS A TON. It settles on your neck and shoulders and pushes you into the ground.

I was strolling around Alberquerque last year in 38 quite comfortably because it's dry.

I'm making assumptions - where are you?
( The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Wed 15 Jul 2009, 21:31, Reply)

I live in virginia, it can get very humid or very dry here
and really, comfortable in 38?

( Lisette von Falcon, Wed 15 Jul 2009, 21:34, Reply)
