[Drinking] Transfer Deadline Day drinking thread

[Thunder Bolt]

I remember Noel Gallagher said the perfect amount of milk is when your tea is the colour of those gold wrapped toffee disks you get in Quality Street. He's right.

Absolutely.

Nice cup of tea here. About to hit the cawfee whilst purveying probably the best view of London possible (from my office).

This comment is worthless without PICS.

Where is it? *askingcosimnosy*

Consumed 1litre of fortisip through an enteral delivery system overnight (2,400 kcal), pint of water at 6am followed by 2 cups of tea. 7.30 25ml Itraconazole solution. Next up more tea, half a pint of scandishake and some gaviscon.

We need a photo of the view!

Nice clear day today.

Just made a cafetiere of Hasbean 'Brazil Nut' blend to get me going this morning. Working from home today conveniently

 

[Me and my Monkey]

Two mugs of tea so far out of my Brighton and Hove Albion mugs. Need to take care, however, as tea has a diuretic effect, with the associated risk of wee wee accidents.

 

[AmexRuislip]

My usual cup of Bonanza Dark Roasted Ethiopian coffee, croissant and The Guardian to start the day.

Ooh look at you

Me a pot of Sainsburys dark roast coffee.......

Now then, where the f*ck are these strikers?

Is that the walkie talkie or the cheese grater?

Do you do well out of tips working those tables?

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

I am drinking tea from a mug (2017 'The Seagulls' club badge on blue and white background). The tea is from a small metal pot kept warm on my hob, setting 2.5. The bags are four Sainsbury Red, plus one 'Bombay Tea' spiced. This creates a slightly exotic tea (I will give an inappropriate analogy later, but I am a bit busy at the moment). The water is filtered (Brita) to remove the high calcium levls that we endure in Faversham. The tea bags are kept in the water no longer than a minute, then removed, each individually, each squeezed with small stainless steel teabag tongs. This gives maximum flavour without contamination from the higher molecular weight aromatics and tannins present in the leaf.

Starting the day with a nice mug (Albion mug, naturally) of Twinings Earl Grey.

Cafetière.....do you mean a French Press in today's language?

Also, as any third waver will know one can't possibly drink filter coffee...ghastly stuff. But, my local hipster cafe joint has now rebranded it, added some guff about a more rounded flavour profile, and now sells it as "Batch brewed" coffee. It's all the rage.

Second cup of coffee coming up. Hold tight.

Only 110 people work on this floor, so no.

I was able to do this more quickly than anticipated;

1. = slightly exotic
2. = a little too exotic for me

Walkie talkie - 34th floor, one below the SkyGarden and the only one with a balcony.
