    I have discovered that, in a pinch, with no other options around, the espresso shots at Dunkin’ are really not bad.

          Drinking roasted barley instead of coffee, have become too caffeine sensitive.
          Use it in my espresso machine.

              @chas
              Interesting. I switched to decaf earlier in the year. My only transition was a week of half regular half decaf. I still order regular outside the house. It that’s a couple times a month if I’m not traveling. Of course decaf isn’t zero but it’s far less than what I was drinking.

                              Two is people killing people.
                              Four is dogs & rabies.

                                    Number 8 is sharks, they kill less than ten people a year.

                                    Ok its not a perfect list.
                                    Hippos getting 500 was a surprise, I know they are perpetually irritable animals, but who ventures close enough to such a big angry thing 😜

                                      Good for them.
                                      But McDonald's sucks. Plasticky food in inadequate buns with salty fries.
                                      Vanilla milkshakes being the exception, slurp slurp.

                                      I had my first taste of their food(I use the word loosely) in my late 20's and it has always been my least liked takeaway.
                                      I usually try their 'special' burgers...
                                      so Thursday evening having been out, we roll into the drivethru, to be told the heatwave means their shake machine ain't working(?) so I get a Big Arch.
                                      Arrives looking a pale shadow of the photo and after a couple of bites turns to mushy cheesy bits ensuring my shirt, trousers and car all need a wash.
                                      I just wanted a cold vanilla milkshake.

                                      Thankfully MrsA usually prefers KFC. We get a boneless bucket, and I repeat my joke about the bucket coming in useful if the food makes us feel icky.
                                      We don't go often. So many better options on which to spend your £20.
                                      Burger King 😆

                                      100% agree about McDonald's.

                                      Correlation does not imply causation.
