OMFG he's right!!!
You've never eaten coffee, Blaat? I learnt how to use chopsticks with a bowl of coffee, its also a great breakfast when you cbf cooking or boiling the kettle.

Coffee's a drink. I've seen no one here eating coffee. How do you eat a liquid? Can you eat water also? I don't think so really. Unless you mean you just eat the stuff before you put it in the coffee machine, which quite possibly will taste more bad than the coffee after it gets out of the machine..

I don't drink coffee. I dislike the smell and its taste. And after that practical where I heard/read what too much caffeine can cause, I don't feel more inclined to drink coffee, either.

People actually eat coffee to sober up quickly, its a bit... urgh since i hate coffee, but meh... whatever floats your boat.

And by using your logic Blaat what would you class soup as? As a food or drink?

[Athena]

Well, if I ever were to need that Xeno, then I would take chocolate. Back in the past far away I ate chocolate bonbons, about 4-5 of them in the afternoon during schooldays.

Soup is made of liquid and solid substances. So it's either both or neither or depends which one of the two is more dominant in the matter. Tough question.

What about coffee cake?

[Athena]

What IS coffee cake? Cake with coffee taste? Or do you mean something else?

[chemical ali]

sex on a plate, you mix coffee in with cake mix I havn't made it for ages a nice one I made had malteasers in it as well so it gave a malty and coffee taste.

[Athena]

I don't get your full sentence, but I do get the picture. I assume it's eaten with a spoon or fork and it looks more like solid than liquid to me, so I'd say food.

[chemical ali]

But what about iced drinks that are both? I'm sure North Americans will be familar with this! Best thing ever I've had one everyday while I've been here. Get the chocolate milk one!

I never understood why people have such ridiculous addictions to horrid crap like Coffee.

Yes the high class coffee's I can understand...but the sub par ground shit that is commonplace in most homes is just intolerable.

[MSpencer]

I just like some nice iced coffee with a shot of espresso in it. Cheap too, comparatively. Starbucks is ridiculous, so I only go there twice a year to enjoy really good coffee for three times as much.

And in any event, there is a perfect legitimate purpose for testing foods. While companies do not deliberately lie on packaging, they almost always round down... significantly... in all cases, creating differentials that could be up to 1/3rd! So that 1000 calorie fattening pasta dish could really be 1300.

[Blodo]

Which is obviously a tragedy to someone who counts his calories daily. It doesn't matter what you eat, it matters how much you move. Pretty basically. Hard workers are nearly never fat.

Anyhow coffee sucks. I never drunk it more than once and never probably will.

[Comrade Kal]

Starbucks? I wouldn't grace that place with my presence, unless I was smashing it up or something. I don't like coffee as much as some people, it's a rare occasion that requires something in between tea and vodka. Normally it's one or the other.

[chemical ali]

Starbucks is very expensive their coffee is quite strong as well but the stuff they sell is nice. I hope that Tim Hortons will start offering franchices in the UK if so I'm buying one!

I've dug this up as the uni topic, as many of us on both sides of the Atlantic are preparing for Univeristy and College now.

I want to do Politics and International Relations/Strategical Studies or Military History as a degree. Thinking about Huddersfield, Aberdeen and Aberystwyth as places to go, going to Aberystwyth on the 28th. Hows everyone writing their personal statement, is everyone reading up on the subject books? Who wants to get pissed on a Revora 2007 Student Piss up? How much do you think its going to cost you?

I think I will proberly spend about £40,000 over 3/4 years.

Course fees: 3x £3000 = £9000
Halls: £70/80 quid a week so each year thats about £2800 a year
Food, booze, computers books: £1500?

Anyone at Uni now tell me how they are spending I plan to get about a bit of money from the RAF if they sponsor me for the years then I go and join a Flying Club and go off to Cranwall while your all unemployed.

[chemical ali]

If you look at it in terms of tennage pregnacy rates your proberly right!

[chemical ali]

Applied to UCAS and sent it off today all done lets wait for the offers.

[Comrade Kal]

Today?! Christ, we all did it weeks and weeks ago.

Good things about the place i'm moving to:

Pete Doherty went to the uni
Faris Rotter lives there
There are lots of cheap places full of students that sell organic food
There's a good music scene
It's LONDON

[chemical ali]

Sounds shite in my opinion and not a good thing if some crack head went it, organic food you lesbian, what the fuck is scene? And London wow the land of shite where they will charge for the tap water thats been through 200 people already.

Other than that, which Uni is it?
