Token long post to make up for yesterday.

[clo_again]

I want a caramel macchiato. Even reading the description on the Starbucks website is making me drool. Dammit for the nearest Starbucks being at least two hours away! (calculating getting ready time, catching the bus, catching the next bus and then walking there.) It probably says something about me that I'm tempted to go anyway. *sighs mournfully* Oh well. Going shopping Sunday I hope, so I'll try and get one then. If we can even get them over here. Ggrrr for living in a nation of tea lovers!

So yesterday tired me out, even though I only walked around town spending too much money. It was mainly the walking across town, buying heavy food, then walking back across town for the bus, with said heavy food. *sighs* After a week of being a bum, it was something of a shock. And I kinda wish I hadn't spent so much money in light of the surprising FedEx bill this morning, but eh. I bought a pack of the Magnetic Poetry fridge magnets, which you can write poems and little stories with on the fridge. *snickers* My 'rents are going to freak when they get home, but they should be grateful the Italian version was more expensive and I don't speak enough Italian yet to make it worthwhile. Just wait until the summer... *plots*

Also bought a Welsh fridge magnet to send to my dad's lovely Australian friends who we went out for lunch with the other day. Leaving aside said parental's complete lack of manners - he was late for playing golf and the fact he hadn't seen these people for two years and probably wouldn't see them again for years, he was twitchy all the way through lunch. -_- - they gave us an Australian fridge magnet (they had a bagful and were handing them out to old friends as they toured Europe) and have I mentioned that I love Australians? Only they tempted me to go out and visit K when she goes over in the summer; they said they've got a spare room and I'm more than welcome to stay as long as I like. *sighs mournfully* Stupid plane tickets costing so much. But anyway, they were going on to Chester then down south for a while and they sent me a letter, a few days after we'd been for lunch, saying how nice it was to see me again, that they hope they'll see me in Australia one day and they hope the 'rents get back safe from their respective trips. With £10 to go with it. It made me sniffle, it really did. I love Australians. *snuggles you all*

But since I seem to be pretty much recovered now, I'd better start catching up on everything I missed, especially since my 'net was being temperamental. *kicks it* It'd better work today.

Australians rock. ^__^

*nods* We do.....well most of us.....I can think of a couple that don't but they are exceptions to the rule *nods*

I want to come to Australia! *wails* Not entirely sure I talk all that British after all these years on the internet, but I can try. *giggles* And you can giggle at me trying to pronounce all those really cool place names too.

Yeah come to Australia! We rock :) *joins in snuggling*

I wish everyone would stop talking abt Starbucks - I have a killer sore throat and would love a hot beverage right now. Too bad the nearest Starbucks is in... *checks Starbucks Australia site*... Melbourne! Damn... I'm sure it's good but I don't think it's worth a week's road trip or 10 hours return by plane just for a drink... I'm sure when I am in NZ/US/Europe/SA they will have a slightly more convenient store...

*looks at site* ewww caramel apple cider sounds a bit icky... Caramel macchiato sounds yummy though, and so does mocha valencia *wants*

You really do! *snuggles back more*

Argh, that's even worse than me. *kicks American monopoly of Starbucks* They need to share the coffee love dammit! And if you're anywhere near Wales, make sure to drop in and I'll take you to our nearest Starbucks and squee over the coolness of your accent. :-)

They shouldn't tempt us with the pretty descriptions. *sighs*

[miela-a.livejournal.com]

ooooh I wanna go to Wales... maybe next year when the 'rents move to UK for half a year... Might be able to time it with Wimbledon too *fingers crossed* Definitely cricket season though :D

And you are more than welcome to enjoy/mock my accent, whatever it may be... As long as I get to make an ass of myself around the UK accents.

Ohhh the people on the TV are finally singing God Save the Queen. That means we may actually progress past talking about the FA Cup final and actually play the bloody game! It's only taken 80 mins to get to this point! *whinges* I'm off the topic... sorry!~

An answer for everything.

I love Starbucks too, even though I hate coffee, meaning mine's a Hot Chocolate! We do have a plan to slowly steal the Chester one piece by piece and relocate it to Holywell. Every one used to say it was so expensive, but I don't really see hpw when you get a free mug with every drink. ;-) I want to open one inside a Waterstones in Holywell an embezzel money to fund Hill's Black Books style shop next door.

I got tired from just being excited about the elec test being moved and going home early (only 13 days from today!), mainly in light of me finally getting the Mk3 on the road. And at home there's fridge magnet poetry, only it was free from BT, and I made something up about feeding my mum hot cakes from the oven or something when I was drunk.

I want to go to Oz too, and mainly to see Neville, Les and co, my 3rd and 4th cousins and their family. I even know the exact little town they live in. Plus I hear car's are far cheaper in certain respects over there to here.

dude, starfucks is an evil evil company! like nestle (sp?) free mugs though.... hehe. hummm... i need a mug. someone in my mates kitchen has stolen a load of them. lol

Hey!! Starbucks is Starbucks! Evil coffee is still coffee. *nods* Nestle is indeed evil though.

But Holywell is just as far away from me as Chester! *wails* We need on in Wrexham. And if you open a Starbucks, will I get free coffee? ;-)

*pets* Excitement is good. :-D

ROAD TRIP TO OZ!!! ^__^ Somehow.

Re: An answer for everything.

Starbucks isn't evil. It's a chain of inanimate stores. Only people and dolphins have the capacity to be evil on this planet. Nestle isn't evil either. Think about it! Yorkies!

Learn to drive you. Then you can go to Chester whenever. And Hill might make you a coffee in his shop, but I'll need all the cash I can get, as I'll be funding his shop.

Road trip to Oz = 2 problems.
1)We'd need to build the road as we go.
2)I don't know if the Fesbot would be up to it.

Nestle are evil.... they kill babies (long story, from a lecture I was half awake in, involving baby formula). I think the chocolate division are clearly exempt from the evilness of the remainder of the corporation.... (that's what I tell myself anyway!) I presume that a Yorkie is the UK chocolate bar?

Mmmm road trips... fun :) Do come to Oz! might be easier to fly though :)

Re: An answer for everything.

[clo.livejournal.com]

*nods* Yep, Nestle is the baby-killing company. And I might have forgiven them a little by now... if they hadn't launched a terribly sexist campaign for Yorkie with various slogans such as 'Not for girls', 'not available in pink' and 'don't feed the birds'. It might have been a little funny at first but it's been going years now and I haven't eaten one since they started. *sighs* Which is a shame, since they really were a good chocolate bar before. *kicks stupid Nestle*

Ah, we're students! We have to do everything by road trip. *grins and plots how to build a road all the way to Oz*

I agree with miela_a; Nestle are indeed evil based on their blatent lack of regard for third world babies. *nods* And I'd actually use Yorkie as another example of their evil - do you know I haven't eaten a Yorkie in years because I find their 'Not for girls' angle so offensive? And that's *bad* because they taste so nice. *cries* We actually did a whole topic on the problem of evil in Philosophy and I'd also argue that monkies, killer whales and other creatures have the capacity to be evil but that's a whole other story involving monkies killing each other which you don't want to hear.

Seriously, you don't want me driving. People would not be safe. I am a menace to society behind the wheel. ^__^ If I drove there I'd have to find somewhere to park and... it's probably easier to catch the bus. :) But... I'll be an honoured guest! Free coffee! *pouts sadly* ;-)

You could mod your new car into a submarine. Then all we'd have to worry about would be leaks and bumping into whales. ;-) I so did not almost type that as Wales. Really, I didn't. ^_^
