Tea? (Part 2)

[coffeejo]

We are on the ferry from Brunsbuttel to Cuxhaven. The tea is disgusting.

I am at home. The tea is Most Tasty Indeed.

I am going out this morning to put up some shelves. This evening I am volunteering at the West Lancs Light Railway, I have baked a cake to take with me....

Just having a before I head out, via Toolstation.

I have just used my last de-caf teabag...the horror!!!! No more brews till I get some more

 

[Biscuit]

What is this de-caf of which you speak? Mornings all!! A double long black in a latte bowl this end. * Ping* , wide awake!

 

[hobbitonabike]

Did a detox plan. Got rid of all caffeine...felt loads better...no more caffeine. And I couldn't drink coffee as I bounced off the walls lol

 

[Rickshaw Phil]

Decaf here too. I found out by accident that I'm allergic (was having problems with hundreds of tiny blisters forming on my hands) and, as a bonus feel better generally having stopped the caffeine.

 

[coffeejo]

Decaf in the evenings for me. Sleep's enough of an issue without being as well.

I switched to decaf coffee a few years ago and I am much calmer now, people tell me I was a bit manic when I drank full caffeine coffee

After 3 attempts, I finally accepted that I will hardly sleep if I drink 600 mL of Pepsi Max at midnight!

Oh yes you just reminded me a few years ago I also cut out all soft drinks like coke etc, if I am thirsty I drink water.

 

[coffeejo]

I gave up booze and fags. If I also quit caffeine, I'd have to take up hard drugs instead.

 

[Speicher]

How long has he been staying with you? And did he bring the Tuborg?

It was Wocky who sent the Tuborg. It was in that container ship.

 

[Speicher]

I made the gradual change to decaffinated coffee sometime last year. My last two cups of of the day are also decaf (Twinings).

I stopped drinking coke after someone from Coca Cola said that although there was the equivalent of 16 (?) teaspoons of sugar in each can, she did not think this was a problem.

Btw, who put the coffee jar in my fridge last night? I must have been more tired than I thought.

I feel the same way. 90% of the time I stick to a very healthy, sensible diet. I am not yet strong enough to do lots of exercise, I can't afford holidays or retail therapy, I live alone ... in fact, I have a pretty frustrating and boring life! So, I'm eating more chocolate and having the odd Coke or Pepsi just to have something to look forward to a few evenings a week. And the odd coffee.

I'm just peeved that I can no longer say to people "I haven't had to go to the doctor for over 25 years"; "Do what I did, and risk dying" doesn't have quite the same ring to it ...!

If doctors ever give me 3 months to live and I am no longer able to move about much, then I won't spend my remaining time meditating, trying to learn Japanese, or watching repeats of 'The Likely Lads' - I will embark on one long party, fuelled by the recreational drugs that I was too sensible to take when I was healthy, and leave this life with a demented smile on my face!
