Listening to an old radio show, I heard the well-trodden routine of them mocking coffee shops for the silly names they give their products. Many years on now, and coffee shops seem to have gone from strength to corporate strength, and still with the same names for their drinks, despite the mocking...or could it be that in some part, their success was due to it? Could it have been a case of 'any publicity is good publicity'?
When I worked for a living I used to get a hot chocolate from a Polish deli just around the corner from Golden Square on my way into to work in the morning. And once there I would add a teaspoon or so of Gold Blend coffee so I reckon I invented the Mocholate.
I used to like it with a croissant. In fact I shall have an almond croissant and a home made coffee coffee this very morning.
I invented the Slap-u-Chin-o, where I would punch people up the bracket if they payed more than 2 pounds for a cup of coffee.
I have done something to my back and can't move without excruciating agony so might have rethink the coffee and croissant gig. I notice on DOCTORS they are always happy to do a home visit and the drop of a hat, so have called my local surgery and will see whether it is true or not. I am sure it has to be otherwise they wouldn't put it in so much.

I just Googled it, it doesn't exist. So I have invented it and need to speak to the patents office forthwith or anon.

I think possibly a bit of the old 'Don't you now who I am?' might sort it.

If they knew that they'd leave me to suffer in agony and smile about it.

I hope you haven't written anything derogatory about chiropractors!

Not yet!
I like espresso with hot water and milk.
It's called a cafe anglaise, which sounds gay.
I have a hand pumped machine. Ooo err. And I heat the milk up with the steam first and then pump the espresso in. Not sure what you'd call that the purists would be horrified no doubt.
The upshot is the Doctor declined to make a visit. You could have knocked me down with a feather. Just take some ibruprofen was all he said. I am going to write to the BBC and ofcom!
I'm a tea man.
Monkey tea?
Tea from a small perferated bag.
