The 'perfect' cup of tea?

Post by Cody »

Article here - fans of Douglas Adams may be chuckling.

... experts are questioning whether anyone would want to pay so much for a tea-maker
Experts in what? The bleedin' obvious? I think I have a PhD in that around here somewhere ... :wink:

Adams fan here. Am indeed chuckling. 'Tea 2.0'? I'll wait for the first service pack ('Tea 2.1').

From The Restaurant at the End of the Universe:

'Because', said Arthur tartly, 'I want to keep them.'

You have:
a splitting headache
no tea
:D
