Charged my old Nokia N95, ultimate degoogled phone, Im going to load everything I can that still works to make it feel like a modern smartphone, it has gps, multiple app running, 5mp camera , tomtom, bluetooth, wifi, but of course 3G is all but gone and I can only connect via wifi.
This phone was out before the ipoon1 which was just a touch screen with practically no functionality.

Looking for new ways to keep your dog entertained?
The look of joy on the dog's face as she comes around toward the camera is priceless.

Yup tea is falling off a cliff in the UK.
Checks cliffs for Yankees.
But yeah, coffee.
Historical coffee use in London centers on 17th and 18th-century coffee houses, which served as vital social and business hubs, often called "penny universities" for the intellectual discussions they hosted. Established by the Greek servant Pasqua Rosée in 1652, these establishments rapidly spread across the city, becoming integral to London's commercial, political, and intellectual life. Coffee houses were centers of news and debate, were frequented by influential figures, and some, like Lloyd's Coffee House, even gave rise to major financial institutions.

No doubt there will be intellectual discussion on the highest level.

Very interesting to learn about that!
The European coffee history began in 1683. Following the victory of the Polish forces over the Turkish by Vienna, fleeing Kara Mustafa forces left a huge depot of coffee beans in their camp. The coffee was given by King Jan III Sobieski to one Jerzy F. Kulczycki, an interpreter (from the Turkish language) for the Company of Eastern Trade, who (disguised as a Turk) delivered important messages during the campaign. That is, he went out from the besieged Vienna, successfully crossed the Turkish lines, and asked Charles V of Lorraine for help, than could return to Vienna the same way. Soon, Kulczycki opened the first Vienna coffee house in Domgasse 6. Initially, bitter coffee didn't meet any appreciation. Kulczycki soon started sweetening coffee with honey, and then added milk, which was the guarantee for the success.

Sweetening coffee and adding dairy products worked for Starbucks , one reason for me to avoid them. Best coffee I ever had was in Rome, Italy, and I've been trying to duplicate it ever since.

We have so different tastes and expectations, Art!
I have been to the United States three times. On each trip, I knew I would be missing European coffee in North America (Canada was not any different). I was carrying a jar of Nescafe Gold in my baggage and made coffee in the hotels myself. On my last trip, one of the guys working for the U.S. company asked me what I missed the most in the U.S. and I said "coffee". He brought me to a shopping centre with his car and introduced to Starbucks. I couldn't be happier! The café was connected to a bookstore, where I bought as many as three novels. A wonderful time!
If Starbucks didn't exist, it should be invented
Same in Beijing China. Where to get decent coffee? Starbucks of course Chargeride

Baldrick, fix us some coffee will you? And try to make it taste slightly less like mud this time.
Not easy I'm afraid, Captain.
Why's this?
Cos it is mud. We ran out of coffee 13 months ago.
So every time I've drunk your coffee since, I have in fact been drinking hot mud?
With sugar.
Which of course makes all the difference.
Well, it would do if we had any sugar, but unfortunately we ran out New Year's Eve 1915. Since when, I've been using sugar substitute.
Which is?
Dandruff.
Brilliant!
Still, I could add some milk this time. Well, .....saliva.
No! Thank you, Baldrick. Call me Mr Picky, but I think I'll pass.

I do my best not to look down on the choices made by other cyclists. As long as they're riding responsibly, I tell myself, what they ride and wear and how and why they ride is all up to them.Im completely addicted to Maxwell house cappucino, one scoop all in.

I know I should do the same for hot beverages, but you're not making it easy.
