Marks and Spencer childish drinks

Elitistreview for kids!

Sadly the legal minds at Elitistreview have reminded me that titles like this are the sort of thing the dreary fun police and their miserable, misanthropic informers pounce upon just in case there is a suggestion that someone might be having a laugh. Consequently, I must point out that anyone below whatever age is required [...]


Mangajo silly drinks

Sometimes we need silly drinks

I despise grocery shopping – supermarkets just bore me to tears. The only thing that allows me to survive a shopping trip is the promise that I can buy some form of silly drink to amuse me as I trek home with bags of food. Whilst I’ve been stuck in hospital I have been brought [...]


Drinks we need

I had a rather late night last night, indeed it dragged into what could be called a somewhat dissolute mid-morning. Consequently, when I hauled myself out of bed bright and early this afternoon I thought I’d make myself one of the brilliant Singatoba Nespresso coffees. It was indeed brilliant, and I felt moderately perked up. [...]

Nespresso Special Club Singatoba – it is just amazing

The the partner gave me a couple of years ago has been quite the success story. From when I first got it the quality of coffee it pumps out was revelatory, particularly as you went up the strength levels`\ they just got better and better. The Ristretto pod was the best espresso I had ever [...]

Singatoba – Nespresso Special Club 2009

OK, let’s get to the point: this is one of the most wonderful coffees I’ve had in my life. Now if I may expand (it is the anti-psychotics*, they make me so amazingly hungry) I’ll tell you why is is so good. As the Nespresso machine was pumping this coffee out my entire kitchen was [...]


The best coffee really is at home

I went out into Town today to meet the partner for lunch. . Before meeting up I went to a Nero Express coffee bar and ordered a double espresso. It was one of the most piss-awful coffees I’ve had in my entire life. Thin, bitter and lacking in complexity. Vile. After I’d choked back the [...]


I’m mortified

When we were away for larks in Burgundy and Alsace my chum Non-Stinky Jeff ordered a bottle of iced tea at a drinking establishment. Cue sneers and disapproving looks. I suppose I must have been a teenager when I last tried iced tea and that was enough to make me know I’d hate it forever. [...]


Wehay! Power up!

Not much of a post, I’m afraid, but I am charged with energy and need to write something. This is because I’ve had six of the super-brilliant espressos this morning. Bloody brilliant, I tell you. Honestly, I’ve never had better espresso, and the only time I felt more charged with dark power was when I’ve [...]


Perhaps I should drink even more espressos

I neck about a litre of Diet Coke a day; the anti-psychotics I take sedate me and I rely on caffeine to lash my mind into a less moronic, rancid state. I also have about four espressos a day (the ). We are told in this news story that excessive consumption of cola can dangerously [...]


IrnBru_2

The most challenging tasting experience of my life

I drank a few cans of Irn Bru (made in Scotland from girders) whilst in Edinburgh and didn’t have a freaking clue how to describe the taste. I shall attempt this now. The flavourings include quinine and caffeine. It also contains 0.002% Ammonium Ferric Citrate, yum. Irn Bru, Barr The first thing to notice is [...]
