Since June. Not even when pissed.

Well I can't have the boy thinking it's ok, and he's old enough now to suspect. Also I'm old enough a Dad without making it worse. If I shuffled before he's 20 I'd never forgive myself. I used to love smoking as well, pesky kids.

I just realised gingertea is the best ever remedy against the flu. It's delicious too...

Aye, 'tis delish.

I used to get the granule stuff back in the day - but it's very sugary.

Chinese supermarkets also do the pure ginger powder stuff, which is very strong.

Have that and some honey to taste and it sorts you right out.

I've tried normal ginger powder used for cooking and it didn't work as well - perhaps not as finely ground - didn't desolve as well.

Fresh ginger in a garlic press or chopped works too. Could add some fresh lemon too, and honey of course.

Currently have some Tetley lemon and ginger with added vitamin c - which is designed specifically for that, but it lacks punch. Much better than their green tea though!

Tupperware and the freezer.

Also, should probably ask.
Any recommendations for an affordable and easily available (Sainsburys) bean?

That's a good shout actually Tempy, cheers.
There are some decent coffee shops here because of the strong Italian community.

Thanks Daddy.

I will look into the delivery services but unfortunately I don't like having stuff delivered here. Things tend to not turn up, then loads of post for totally random addresses arrive.

Method will be grind beans, add to cafeteire, boil water then leave for a minute, pour in water. I then normally leave to brew for 5-10 minutes. Cafeteire is dual walled and will keep heat for hours, it is only a single cup but that is fine for me, I will only have a couple a day.

Drink black no sugar

Actually, Sainsbury’s should do some decent beans. They used to buy all their own brand stuff from a roaster in Glasgow. Look for ones with valves on the packs and you should be good for fridge storing.

I buy beans from Sainsburies whatever is on offer and its fine for every day coffee.

Storagewise I find a sealable container in the fridge works great for beans. Especially as i just buy the normal size 250g bags from the supermarket.

Obvs if it's expensive beans that are going to be stored for a while between uses then maybe a proper container might be worth a look.

4. Look out for introductory offers from pact and bean to door:

I drink. Shit load of coffee. As does the missus. 250grams sees us through a week easy.

If you have grinder, even better. Storage isn't the be all and end all.

I gave away my massive grinder in new place. Get the beans ground at Cafe, chuck em in a tin, and they're fine for a week.

Keep some illy for emergencies.

Jobs a good un.

Admittedly I had bigger muscles when I grinding by hand, vicar

It is!

Currently battling with the irony that I'm home for a few hours and am out of beans /o:

Hello good sir.

Only Tories, ergo nonces buy from Sainsburys FYIs

Glad you've found a new vendor (o;
