Liota Posted January 11, 2004 Share Posted January 11, 2004 Looked it up in several books on line, no luck. Much like SiGLady, I can relate. Liota Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 Didn't find that one exactly, but did find this with no attribution: Coffee: The gasoline of life. ----------------------- Some more good ones from the same reference: A mathematician is a device for turning coffee into theorems. Paul Erdos Ambidextrose: Able to put sugar in coffee with either hand. Caffeine Allocation Error: COFFEE.SYS missing, Programmer halted. ------------------------ Here is an interesting compilations of coffee references that I gleaned these snippets from. http://www.afactor.net/kitchen/coffee/coffeeTag.html -- Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james h Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 HEY we dont all put milk in tea AND our empire is still bigger than yours (not inc Iraq) so the sun always shines on British soil, there just very small patches dotted here and there.

George Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 so the sun always shines on British soil Was just in the UK (November 2003) for 5 days and the only time I saw the sun was before I came down through the cloud cover to land at Heathrow. Nice place though, rain or shine, just need to work on the language a little more next time I am there -- Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
