I'd always associated the taste of almonds with arsenic...

Still, don't let me interrupt you...carry on!

This is the non-lethal type drink. Would you like one?

Non lethal? That would depend on how many you had.

Don't even *think* of drinking that, Linus! Why it's even worse than - or the coffee at McDonald's

*Sips... *

mmmmmmmmmmm! Are you sure you don't want to try this?

*Watches Mari sip her drink and cringes*

Yuck!

Ah! So you also have had the McDonald's experience Pierce? I have to drink my coffee black whilst out as most places don't supply soymilk (Or as the recent legislation insists it is now called, "non-dairy alternative to milk"! ), but on the two occasions that I've been foolhardy enough to sample a McDonald's coffee, I've thrown it away in disgust as it actually made me feel sick.

The only reason I give McDonalds my trade is because my hubby likes their thick shakes and is unable to drive past one of the damned places without stopping in to get one. Would this be grounds for divorce, do you think? "Grounds" as in "coffee grounds". It's a joke...get it?

*Pats Gwennie's hand.*

That was truly feeble, dear... but a good effort.

There is an Espresso Shop opening up in my little town. It is something unheard of in this backwater... hope they serve tea as well as coffee. They are displaying works of art, the sign says. I'm hoping they might put up some of my paintings.

BTW, Linus and Gwen.. Here are for each of you! Souveniers from my trip!

Beer towels sporting the name ADNAMS for Linus, and a lovely tea towel for you, Gwennie. It depicts the of East Anglia. Hope you like them!

Thanks

This towels doesn't taste anything like Adnams...

*Watches Linus sucking on his new towel...*

I think i'll stick to Coopers if its all the same to you

*Wraps her tea towel around her head, turban style*

Thanks Mari!

There are a couple of coffee shops in Durham, but as the kids weren't interested, I had to take Chris into a pizza parlour instead where he didn't eat any of his food anyway!

*Bangs her head of her monitor*

Aaaahhhh... piiizzzaa (Homer impression...)

Hey! Look what I found:

Put the nice back, there's a good girl Mari!

Hey! Linus=p**ss

No need to Gwennie.

That would be seen as a compliment around these parts

Oh! Okay then! In that case, I take it all back...

too late now.

don't you mean fallen ?

*Pushes her halo back into place*

There! That's better...

The only falling I usually do is when I trip over pets, toys or John's tools and building materials!

This is impressive, Linus: 13 postings in a row without a word of alcohol. Must be a new record, I'm sure.

I'll drink to that...

I'm a bit worried about John having more than one tool though

Do you think he needs a ? Maybe its a experiment?
