Woo hoo.
Always wanted to be.
Always wanted to be.
You need a lumberjack shirt (top button done up),tight black stretch jeans (cuffs rolled up too high), those socks that hide inside your loafers and wax the ends of your moustache. Manbun and shit tatts is essential as is the oversized belt buckle.
I will never buy coffee from a hipster (although there is also a wide range of other people I would avoid buying coffee from, including older ladies in country cafes, young people, people wearing leather or black aprons and some of certain nationalities).
Maybe I should have stated that I am not a racist, but...
Coffee is too important to be spoiled by w***ers who think they know everything or by dills who know nothing. The happy medium is getting harder and harder to find.

I find once I find a place, I'm less likely to try anywhere else...
Also, having grown up on "European Coffee is the best" , have been shocked by just how much of it is terrible... (As in places in Europe that serve terrible coffee)

More like:
Mit wem spreche ich über diesen Kaffee?
Definitely Italian Coffee in an Italian cafe is what I expected.... slightly less Italian stereotypes though
Standard disclaimers aside, but I have to ask: Did you order coffee in Germany?

yes... and it was disgusting.
Note though: Swiss was bang average
My regular postie is great, supports the Pies but a good bloke.
The prick who does the parcel deliveriies on the otherhand is as useless as **** on a bull.
Every other service can deliver to the front door, but Australia Post, I am lucky if they even bother to open the door to their vehicle.
And they have every excuse known to man as to why they didnt place the parcel at the door and had to take it to the nearest LPO.
Halloween coming up soon and AusPost should start the recruitment process with them, they'll have no trouble finding the front door carrying bags of crap ringing the bell until I answer.

Livers are overrated.
However, if anybody does have one they don't want, I may be in the market.

I made the mistake of ordering a coffee at Starbucks in Eastland on the weekend.
Double espresso. It was undrinkable bitter crap. I didn't finish it.
Starbucks never again.
I had a clandestine meeting on a Melbourne Starbucks one day (on the basis that nobody I worked with would be seen in one). The coffee was weak and undrinkable. I swore to never drink their coffee again.
But, in Kuching my wife parked herself in a Starbucks as it was air conditioned while was talking to a driver arranging a trip to take us to a village near the Indonesian border. I did buy a coffee when I went back inside and it was drinkable.
Later on, we were in Darwin and we went to a cafe on the waterfront for morning tea. They hadn't turned the coffee machine on so they suggested I get a coffee from Starbucks while the rest of the family had cold drinks. I did that and I found that the coffee was drinkable, but only just worth walking the 100m there and back for. I had to do the same a few days later.
Even though three were OK, I don't see myself buying their coffee except in another emergency.
Try Cafe Cherry Beans down past JB HiFi. Very good coffee in there
. Although Starbucks may have permanently injured your taste buds.

Hasn't changed much has it?? I haven't even been in it for donkeys, but you just about need Burke and Wills and all their camels to get around the outside of the joint. I grew up in and around North Ringwood, so it's kinda like someone built a McMansion right next door. And my dad lived his whole childhood up on Loughnans Rd - between his stories and mine, my best little mate looks at us like we're deadset barmy. Well, even more so. Anyway, Starbuck was one of those fellas on Battlestar Gallactica :-D
What's going on?

I will delete the LOL
You don't need to delete it. Just don't add it tomorrow.
However, that might cause a disconfabulation in the space time continuum which, as you know, could result in a catastrophic consequence beyond the limits of your imagination.

Right
I must have missed something else in the post
Is it the circle? Do you think it’s a sniper trying to destroy your phone?
I just thought the "tomorrow" thing was a bit funny. Who knows, maybe it is just a bug on my phone or the browser. It didn't even make me grumpy. I was just mildly amused. Should I delete the post or is it ok to leave it?
