Pfft. No comparison.

Bahtatboy

The word comes from Middle English, borrowing the French nappe—a cloth covering for a table—and adding -kin, the diminutive suffix.

Silly French.

was in Carrefour this lunchtime to grab a hideous swarma and ended up at the other end looking at coffee makers so the sub conscious is taking control.
Funny how you go in looking for the simple 500 aed machine that we have at work and then slide the eyes left to the stainless machine that you shove the ground coffee into that's 900 aed and then you slide the eyes left again to the Gucci stainless machine with frother on and lots of digital read outs that's 3999 aed.

Fortunately just paid junior Tocks school fees for the year this morning so the bank account is battered and coffee machines are out for the month. Looks like starbucks this weekend

The chilli beef wrap which I got in case the swarma was shite, which it was, turned out to be reasonable though

Back to coffee and lounges.

I have also realised that not only am I a twat (confirmed now by multiple ladies on the board) but I am also a vulgar twat. What is this book by Anthea ?? Can it teach me how to be posh ? I wouldn't want to let Alma down by being overly vulgar.

disappointed by the range of Dolce Gusto capsules offered here.

mainly use it for espresso though. bought mine in Singapore where nespresso machines were really overpriced.

I shun Modernity and use the cezve/jezbeh, much favoured by our Ottoman ancestors !
