You are exposing the clumsy-oaf side of your personality. You don't know
the subtleties. It is not like rooting a sheep, mate! It is something
more sophisticated, there *is* an art to it. There is even something
called judgement in where and what you buy and how you grind it. Jesus
Christ, Namym!

You seem to think that coffee needs to be prepared like tea. Well, Colombian
ain't Darjeeling, darling. (But you go straight away anyway and chomp on a
freakin' crumpet, my little crumpet!)

How dare you! Tea making is a different art and also requires finesse. I
suppose you don't drink tea (tea is for the more refined character like
my good self) and if you do, you pretentious oaf, it would almost
certainly be tea bags.

I have been making up a tea for many years now, a blend of various teas
that have no perfume quality (like that Earl Grey stuff) and I add a
small quantity of a smoked tea like Russian Caravan or Lapsang Souchong
just to give a hint. Perhaps your main extra curricular activity, you
know the one I mean, prevents your understanding the subtlety of the
the idea of a hint?

I distinctly recall sitting the two of you at separate tables a while
back. I see now that this was not sufficient. Now it's straight to bed
the both of you, no tea, no coffee, no sheep.
