I hate cats.. They are so annoying..

My best friend has a cat named Pepper.. After a big night out partying, she says "I want Pepper" the WHOLE way home in the cab, coz she cuddles with it when she gets home.. I'm like "Shut up about the stupid cat, Kylie!"

The cat knows I hate it now, because everytime I go over, I sneak up behind it and scream "HI PEPPER!!" It shits itself and runs away!! Haha!!

What's worse is that it's a black cat, so I spend the whole time at her house trying to not let it cross my path haha!

Love always, Alyssa xoxo

Seriously fragged up people. I'd rather have a cup of instant nescafe.

But WTF is with this bit?
Experts disagree. Drinking Kopi Luwak as espresso coffee can ruin much of its unique flavour.

"It'd be wasted in espresso," said Rob Forsyth, chairman of the Australasian Speciality Coffee Association. "You'd have to make in a plunger cup as the milk would destroy the flavour."
Since when does an expresso have milk in it? :? An expresso with mil is a latte isn't it and an expresso is just straight coffee?

ARrrrrrrgggghhhhhh, which thread am I in, fu&king coffe Nazi's.

Ok, I checked what thread I'm in.

Frigging coffee nazi's piss me off intensely. WTF is with all these bullshit different kinds of cofee and adding bloody flavours to them. :? Do you want a frigging coffee or not?

Bugger all these dodgy pretentious garbage terms for the same thing, coffee is coffee. You should be able to walk up to a shop and ask for a coffee. That gets you a stock standard black coffee. The only additives should be milk and/or sugar. If you want froth on top, do a "baldrick".

And what or why is a short decaf soy machiatto with a shot of caramel? And is it contagious or did it become illegal to buy one when they abolished slavery?

FFS, can we make it simple? Please?

espresso, stui. :wink:
A short black (espresso) with a little milk is a macciato. A caffe latte is a short black with lots of milk and made flat and warm to touch. If your 'latte' is hot (like almost boiling) it's been made wrong .
Cappuccino is basically the same except the milk is frothed up and generally much hotter.

All these names are bullshit. :x A Sth African bloke I know tried to buy a coffee when he first came to Melbourne and asked for a coffe with no milk. The dipshit asked him if he wanted a long black or a short black. He had no idea how to respond to that as what he considered a short black was something entirely different so just repeated that he wanted a coffee with no milk.

He's probably used to the instant or filtered coffee crap. There's really only 3 or 4 ways of having traditional espresso, all the other styles have been added or invented by yuppies, soft cocks and metrosexuals :twisted:
