Catweazle will be quiet on this forum for a bit!!! Have to be honest and say she does nothing for me. Then again, I'm more of a red hair, curves and pale skin kinda guy

I was expecting Betterthanhoyte in some Womens Own Spread

Its strange I would have never had a second glance at a blonde in my single days, always went for brunettes and always found a ginger attractive as well

Nowdays since I married a brunette (and a lovely one at that I might add), blondes have become far more attractive for general perving and I show little interest in brunettes. I suppose its the old grass is greener adage

These days an admission like that on here would quickly result in a beating. Cheers JB.

Can someone recommend a good coffee machine. Something that i can pick up the refill cartridges handy and cheap enough. Budget about €250 max.

I have an nespresso, order the capsules online and have them delivered.

I had a nice Gaggia for a while. Grind your own beans, make a nice good espresso. Very tasty excellent coffee. Just as you want it.

I used it twice a month just too much hassle buying beans, keeping them good, grinding them, making the coffee, cleaning up. Glenda never used it either

That died and when I was looking for a replacement I pointed out "a machine that makes a cappuccino with one press of a button and no cleaning up, but its capsules not real coffee". I went to walk onto the gaggias but was dragged back by Glenda. I tried the Nespresso and yes its not as nice as a freshly ground coffee made with love and care but its nice coffee, repeatable, easy to use and no cleaning.

We now drink a huge amount of coffee, enjoy it and now if I want a coffee before heading out for a cycle I can make one without waking the house grinding beans.

Capsules can only be bought in BT or online. However online is free quick delivery if ordering more than 200 capsules (70 euro for 200 coffees).

You can try one next time you are down. (think you've had them already)

+ 1 on the nespresso much better than average coffee and for convenience and cleaning it can't be beaten. Personally wouldn't go for the dearer machines with the milk frothers. I just have one of the basic ones and have one of these to froth milk.

If I want the real thing with freshly ground coffee I think you can't beat a stove top espresso pot

Used to use one of these a good bit have an induction hob now though so need to get a new one. Good place to buy these is the Little Italy wholesaler in Smithfield much cheaper than most other places in Ireland. Think I got my milk frother there as well.

I feel your pain browsing online now for ones suitable for induction hobs. This thread has made me realise how much I miss it. Nespresso is good but its just not the same. Lucky I have double espresso on tap at work to make up for it. Don't know how anyone who likes coffee gives it up I get a headache after a few hours in the morning if I don't have some.

Stupid coffee lovers. I suppose you all want to stop a good bike spin for a cuppa too? Stupid coffee stops. Oh, there's cake? I'll stop for a water so.

At least i do not pretend to be 5ft 10 when in reality i am shorter than that. Since when does 5ft 7 be considered small, in fact i suppose logic does not come into it when ripping the piss:) People probably think i am 4ft 6 and you are 20stone by what is said on here:)

At least my missus does not think i am fat!! Here is Tunney getting his groove on

still there is a lot to be said for a kettle and a jar of Nescafe.

catweazle

I have a Magimix myself, had a nespresso just before heading around the local loop in Pgibbos house a year or two ago. Ran it in a pb feeling great and demanded one for my xmas present.

Love them although the wife is getting tight now and wont let me charge them as a house hold expense anymore as I was going through so many of them (working from a home office can add up in some ways) so they come out of my own pocket. Shes well able to drink them herself though :rolleyes:

+1 on that. Love my little nespresso pixe machine but I have found that i've gone back to using my stove top with freshly gound beans from Nicks coffee in Renalagh. Pain the hole to clean it compared to the machine but can't beat it for a plain black coffee.

I love the smell of coffee out of that machine. I don't drink coffee myself, but anyone that has had coffee from the nespresso machine loves it and quite a few have purchased machines

So Nike have parted ways, he has stepped down as chairman of Livestrong (right thing to do) Will he now admit to everything or will pigs fly first.

catweazle

Yes and Nike even put the boot in which I didn't think would happen

Due to the seemingly insurmountable evidence that Lance Armstrong participated in doping and misled Nike for more than a decade, it is with great sadness that we have terminated our contract with him."Nike does not condone the use of illegal performance-enhancing drugs in any manner. Nike plans to continue support of the Livestrong initiatives created to unite, inspire and empower people affected by cancer."

I think this has been the biggest blow to Lance yet as Nike has previous when it comes to supporting tainted athletes

They will have to keep an extra eye out for Tiger now and his penchant for blondes to keep him on the straight and narrow.
