This all could go badly wrong but here goes anyway.

It might come as a surprise to some of you but my first love is not in fact Guinness :shock:
It is coffee, I drink it by the bucket load, not just any coffee either oh no, you won't catch me drinking instant rubbish, it needs to be fresh strong ground coffee.

So back on topic, this morning I was woken by a dream I was having, in which I was somewhere in France and had just been served the perfect cup of coffee, it was so vivid I could smell and taste it when I woke :shock:

I really like coffee :lol:

    Looks like you and me are in a race to the bottom for thread with the least posts.

    Last night I dreamt that I was back at school, just finished cricket, and someone had stolen the front wheel from my bike (the one I ride now). It was locked up in the bike sheds (no Freudian diagnosis please :roll: :) ).

    I was running round with a cricket bat trying to find out who it was, but couldn't find anyone.

    I really like coffee too :wink:

    I like coffee too. However if I don't have a cup of tea first thing in the morning then I am capable of killing someone :shock:

    Last night I dreamt I was sleeping on a pillow. When I woke up this morning my head was all sticky from the giant marshmallow I went to bed with.

    I can't stand coffee. The smell of it makes me physically sick. When people sitting near me in the office are drinking it I retire to one of my edit suites (I have five desks and six computers I can use) and stay there until they finish.

    I don't even like typing the word or looking at it. The formation of the letters makes me feel queasy tbh.

    I hate it.

    I know French coffee FFS it's almost as bad as Turkish, I strong suspect they make it with cigarette ash.

    Still the best coffee for me is Tim Horton's coffee...I look forward to when my parents get back from Canada with a suitcase full of the stuff :shock:

    Talking of weird dreams I did have a strange one in which Jake, ITB and DDD were in. Weird for the fact that I have never met ITB and DDD :shock: :shock:

    I had truly bizarre dream last night, I went to a hospital as I had belly ache and after an examination the nurse presented me with my womb wrapped in tissue, she said there was nothing wrong with it, the doctor had just decided to remove it as a precaution.

    I stood there with a perfect womb in my hands and demanded to see the doctor, I questioned him and he just played dumb so I went ballistic then woke up.

    No idea what this means. :roll:

    Your ever-growing bike collection has it's own house, heat controlled and a mech on standby? :shock:

    Excellent :D:D

    Hope she has suitable luxurious storage for said handbags as I'm guessing they are not the same 'high' quality as my Tesco/Sainsbury/M&S collection :)
