102

I love tea

103

What’s the tea like in Poland?

Does anyone have definitive instructions on making a cup of tea from a teabag?

I struggle for consistency. I’m not sure how much stirring I need to do when the bag is in the water, I don’t know if I should be squeezing the bag against the side of the cup. I find I make it too strong or too weak half the time because I don’t have a gut feel for when it’s right. Is there a rule of thumb I can abide by?

At lunch I often have tea from a pot and I’ve no real issues there. It’s the standalone cup format that causes hassle.

Its obvious from this sort of questioning that you’ve never drank tae in a bog.

108

:o :o :o :o :o :o

I know there are a lot of muck savage bastards on here but I’d just like to let everyone know that drinking tea in a bog is not normal behaviour.

109

A mug of tae after hours of toil on a bog is the only job to sort you out flano. A nice wipe with the sleeve then and you’re away to go for a bit more.

The word is tea bro. Tea.

111

Aye thats what I said. Tae.

112

I have no idea what that means.

113

I’m not a biscuit fan, but fucking hell, this thread just reminded me of fig rolls. We don’t have fig rolls in Australia. Another reason why Ireland is better.

I love Tae. I love it.

114

Tea with an ice-cream?

Yay or nay

115

Fig Rolls are slop. What you want is two rich tea with a huge wedge of real butter between em, jaysus the only biscuit. Marietta would work just as well. At a push you could get all posh and buy a few custard creams.

José likes the custard creams, nuff said.

Tea with an ice-cream?

Yay or nay

Nay

116

Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. You’re talking about introducing a liquid or semi viscous material like butter or ice cream here. No, no, no, you can’t do that. Its tae you’re drinking. It’ll melt the ice cream and butter, and then you’re left with a horrible coating in your mouth (bit like Chocolate Mice after a tryst with NCC) quite apart from the fact that you have no hope of tasting the tae.

The solid state of the fig roll is perfect for tae.

117

Fig-rolls are disgusting. They are the pastry of the dispossessed.

118

Muck.

119

Savage.

Anyone try a jersey cream in their day? Grand, but no custard cream, they were just on a different level.
