I have come late to this, but the sculpts are very nice. When I do the briefing for my WW2 games I include the line: 'The Germans are very inclined to counterattack whenever they can; the Brits are very inclined to stop for a cup of tea'.

Perhaps you mean "Latte" to this.

Are you sure? The Italians make first-rate coffee,


Yes, Alexander.....but you drink 'proper' coffee....I drink very sugary, slightly brown milk....which masquerades as de-caf coffee.

Like I've mentioned before....I've tried 'real' coffee......I truly couldn't stand it....FAR too bitter for my taste.

But then.....We're all different ! ;) ;D

Cheers - Phil  :)

I don't drink coffee to wake up. I wake up to drink coffee.

I'm with Techno when it comes to coffee.

I like "builder's" tea, too.

As a good socialist I can't drink proper tea ..... because, as any fule kno, proper tea is theft! :-)

Don't drink coffee. Will drink the occasional tea, but tend to stick to water.

My body is a temple.

A massively overweight temple.



I used to drink brewed coffee by the pot. Then it gave me terrible chest pains because apparently it rots the valve at the top of the stomach.

Tea - I'm alergic, but coffee has to be strong and black !

Help! Ian agrees with me about something!

Well, we do live in rather strange times.

'Interesting' is not a sufficiently descriptive adjective to described them, I'd say.  'Strange' doesn't do it either.  I'm trying to think of one but have not yet come up with anything that does.  Let's say, the novelty has long worn off.

On coffee, it's like beer insofar as there are lots of different kinds.  Suffice to say that it has to be freshly made.  De-caffeinated is just wrong.   :D

Verrry true.

Thirded.

I even have a mug that agrees.

Death before decaf.

I'm off to vibrate quietly in a corner.

One of my mugs says:

It is by coffee alone I set my mind in motion
It is by the juice of the Java that thoughts acquire speed
The mug acquires a stain
The stain becomes a warning
It is by coffee alone I set my mind in motion

I think Ian is invoking the popular Chinese expression.
