    No you don't. Buy the coffee that you like, and save the disgusting coffee for making drinks for your wife. It's a well known training technique, called 'rubbing their noses in it'.

    The daily process is to make a large pot of coffee when we get up, I have one cup and she drinks the rest. If she wants more later on she has a Nespresso machine. There's no practical way of making separate pots so I just have to drink the shitty coffee until it runs out. Although I have just remembered that I need to go to Costco next week to get my contact lenses, so I can actually return the two unopened bags and get the proper coffee again.

    I don’t have this issue as my wife is a tea drinker.

    I, on the other hand, being something of a snob am currently making my way through a couple of dozen Nescafe sachets that I obtained on a hotel trip recently.

    Living the high life here. I put two sachets in a mug. Two!

    Nescafe? More like nectar!

    Russ said coffee, so I'm some way towards buying another coffee machine.

    That's annoying me.

    Much of the rest of this thread is subject to card blocking.

    We've been enjoying Costa sachets of cappuccino recently.

    I stayed in a hotel in WB on Friday after the game, my raging hangover demanded a coffee only to find those pesky Nescafe sachets RC loves so much as the only option. I cursed myself for not taking my AeroPress with me.

    I have tilt and turn windows. I put them on tilt for ventilation, without the risk of a downpour drenching the inside of the room. As I sit working at night, with the light on, the room gradually fills up with moths.

    Periodically I go around, capture them in jars, turn the light off (so that they don't turn round and fly straight back into my face), and chuck them back out the fully open window.

    I currently have six jars of moths to reintroduce back into the wild.

    I was thinking about what he's going to do with the next team selection. That performance means they all keep their place ... right? But that would mean leaving, on paper at least, some very good players on the bench ( if even in the squad). It's a nice problem to have - I'm glad it's not one I have to solve.

    It's Burnley at home next. We're going to approach that very differently to Chelsea awsy.
