Isn't a cup of Tea great?

    The solution to all life's problems.

    It was in the mid 20's and absolutly pissing down on my way into work so i was soaked getting onto the tram this morning. The carrage was jointed and they didnt turn the AC on so i was sweating like a mofo. The tram ended up getting delayed making me miss a meeting. So i was rightly pissed off at my morning so far.

    So out i took a bag of Barry's tea from under my desk and had a cup...so relaxing. Even tho I'm a couple of thousand miles away from home, nothing feels more homely like a cup of tea to solve all your worries.


    Is there anything a cup of tea can't solve? Disease? War? Please share your stories of how a cup of tea has saved countless lives.

    A good shag, a cup of tea and I'm always happy.

    There is always time for a nice cup of tea. Sure didn't our Lord himself on the cross pause for a nice cup of tea before giving himself up for the world?

    I don't like tea!:eek:

    Tea's nice to wake you up



    Milk's the all-purpose drink though


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,962 ✭✭✭jumpguy


    I only drink tea in winter when it's bitterly cold/I need something to wake me up so I can study.

    In college, whenever I had an exam at 9 the next morning and I was still up "getting ready to start" I'd pop on the kettle to waste another few mins.

    Also, when it's something important, you have to stand and wait for it to boil. During those 3 mins, I didn't have a bother in the world.

    Boiling is probably the best bit. Bit of a pavlovian response at this stage for me. I have found myself jumping out of bed at the sound of the kettle. Extremely depressing when someone is using it for coffee or a water bottle or soup...damn you soup

    You wouldn't happen to have any sheep tea would ya?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,191 ✭✭✭✭Latchy


    Hi , my name is Latchy and I drink tea :o


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,759 ✭✭✭✭dlofnep


    Yeah, I've noticed that. I used to drink tea when I was in the States and it reminded me of home. Love a good cuppa tae.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,601 ✭✭✭DetectivFoxtrot


    a mug of tea, and throw in a couple of digestives sandwiched together by a layer of butter... now you're talking :pac::pac::pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,054 ✭✭✭Carsinian Thau


    Damn you Hazys! Why are you torturing me?

    Our kettle is broken. Haven't had tea all day. :(:(:(


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 4,193 ✭✭✭Turd Ferguson


    Tea enema FTW

    Nothing beats a good cup of tea. Except maybe sex. Or a nap. In any case, tea is the easiest of all of those to get at a moment's notice, so it wins.

    I love tea. I think I'll put the kettle on now.

    Isn't it funny how far it goes in helping with a hangover too?

    Oh, and Smyth - those 3 minutes of boiling are amazing during exam time!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 78 ✭✭k8bcly


    i hate ye all!!! i was nice and comfy and now im craving tea!!! thanks alot:D:D:D:P

    In theory, a recipe for bliss. But who'd be bothered going to the trouble of making tea post-coitally? A ciggie is a lot less hassle. But again, a cup of tea would be the ideal.

    On topic though: tea rocks. I'm a major coffee fan too, but whereas I'd only drink coffee at certain times of the day, any time is perfect for tae. :)

    I shall partake of same shortly - with a wafer and cocoa solids-based snack (i.e. a Kit Kat). Yum.

    Who said anything about "post-coitally?"
    I spice things up and do both at the same time.
    If I can kill two birds with one stone, sure as hell I can fill two holes with one body simultaneously! :D

    I'm mister lover, lover man. :cool:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 86,729 ✭✭✭✭Overheal


    I have tea so rarely. when i do it is a treat.

    How long do bags last in the cupboard? I did just smoke a 50 year old cigar the other night apparently. Im guessing 2 year old tea can be much worse for me.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 28,128 ✭✭✭✭Mossy Monk


    I hate tea. I also hate coffee.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 994 ✭✭✭mental07


    I crave tea when I'm hungover. It goes a long way towards curing the hangover, too.

    This thread smells like sex.

    I'm all for a good cup of tea. It wouldn't be something completely regular but sometimes it just hits the comfort zone perfectly.

    No - post-coital BEER is the dogs.

    I have the stuff flown over here specially (in bags before anyone starts a sarky comment....)

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Can anyone tell me if they have tea in Australia? I'm off in six weeks and am bricking it. If they don't have tea I'm taking the next plane to Tesco.

    There's something wrong with your taste buds anyway. Coffee tastes like tar boiled in p!ss.
