Replace Coffee?

Goldfinch60



How can they say that!

It is suggested that green tea,

Yes green tea is good for you.

But what they don’t realise

Is that by replacing coffee,

Replacing coffee by green tea

You can lose eighty seven percent,

Yes eighty seven percent

Of what little joy you have,

You have in your life.

      Don't tell me you've turned into a miserable old bugger that only coffee can revive..... 😇!!!

      PS Wot I need is a double shot flat white that only Australia can produce......................

      • Goldfinch60

        No, not all, I only become a 'miserable old bugger' if I do not get my coffee. We will be up at our favourite coffee shop this morning and I will have my large Americano (or two) as usual.

        • Doggerel Dave

          You've just reversed the proposition. means the same thing.. LOL

          Anyway what is an Americano? Taste buds shot after all that Scotch?? In my somewhat limited experience American coffee ain't anything to eulogise. (Weather Report: Storm clouds brewing over MPS.😂)

          • Goldfinch60

            An Americano is a strong black coffee, they use Ecuadorian coffee in the coffee shop. It is fine, indoors I grind my own Colombian coffee beans to make coffee.

            You mentioned Weather Report so hear goes:

              The weather music - I would never have got there without your help, Andy; not exactly me but interesting stuff down utube right hand side. Many thanks.

                Ha!!!! Just 87? I'm with you 100%!!! It's not even the caffeine for me. I just like it! Dominican coffee is really strong! So I'll have mine with a hint of almond milk!!! Thank you! 😆

                • Goldfinch60

                  Thank you LIZ, my favourite is black Colombian, at home I grind fresh beans to make it.

                    You've once again tickled the funny bone Andy. Having been a green tea drinker for many years ago, I threw caution to the wind and converted. Now I'm happy, successful, have that summer home in the Adirondacks, the Jaguar I always wanted, and I owe it all to coffee. Well, maybe not the summer home or the Jaguar, but I am very happy. Thank you for yet another chuckle of the day!

                    • Goldfinch60

                      My absolute pleasure Bella, glad that you have been converted.

                      Andy
