    Chic did a whole bunch of spunking. Not much else

    As feared, my journey home from Norwich consists of rail replacement and cancelled legs.

    Probably all that running, I imagine.

    My espresso machine stopped working yesterday. No water came out. So I took it to bits and put the boiler to soak in citric acid. Then I got my broken Gaggiuino mod machine out of the loft. Thinking I might need to work out why it was broken to order the parts to fix it, in case I couldn't get my (modded) gaggia deluxe working after the boiler clean.

    Woke up in the middle of the night, and rinsed the citric acid off, and rebuilt the boiler, then went to bed. In the morning I plugged in the gaggiuino (after re-seating all the components), and it worked perfectly. Then I tried the deluxe with the re-assembled boiler which also worked perfectly.

    So I went from no working espresso machines to two working. Overnight, and in time for morning coffee.

    Too much caffeine?

    The key take home here is he's started adding water to his coffee.

    He'll be furious when he realises he could have just boiled the kettle and lobbed some freeze-dried Nescafé into a mug. Who's going to tell him?

    To be fair, you cant really compare brown water made from a powder that was once introduced to a coffee bean many moons ago, with an actual espresso shot pulled through freshly ground beans 🤣

    I've stopped drinking coffee all together. After years of having stomach issues I finally realised it was coffee. Dunno why I started really. I've always been a Yorkshire Tea person, but it's just what everyone did and does. "Fancy a quick coffee?". I say bring back a quick cuppa!

    Damn right you can’t!

    It’s about time others stood up to the muck that Tricky peddles as a decent coffee!

    Quite. I'd be on Tricky's side there - become something of a coffee ponce in recent years.

    As someone who doesn't drink tea or coffee it's great to be straight, I guess.

    Watching Frankfurt v Scouse in a hotel on the Wirral (not Scouse, I'm told).

    Frankfurt were my Bundesliga lockdown team, (I don't really remember, but they were probably shit).

    3 years ago today we beat the Scouse at home (Awonyi 55').

    Frankfurt look like they might score.....

    And as I type, Frankfurt have just scored. Tee hee.

    All is well with everything.

    Lots of disgruntled not-scousers are sounding a lot like scousers, I've observed.

    I'll probably not mention it though.

    I need a Spurs win, Liverpool draw, and Chelsea win for £55. Feels like there's a decent chance.
