Bleh....forget it. Stupid phones.

I’m going to have to carefully calculate how many people in the vicinity might want a drink before deciding to offer.

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Wed Mar 13, 2019 10:15 pm

If 20 people pile on, the later end of that are just assholes.

Does it work like rounds of beers and you automatically have to reciprocate if someone offers you a cup one day?

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Wed Mar 13, 2019 10:56 pm

I think everything works like that?

Calbrena · Post by **Calbrena** » Thu Mar 14, 2019 12:45 am

I thought that normally you’re supposed to escalate and offer something bigger/better/more expensive?
Like if you’re being offered Lipton, you retaliate with PG tips, or something.

Rofl!

Yup. That's Britain!

I hadn’t realized that when working there because in Stamford we just all queued up at the coffee/tea machine in the kitchen. Probably because that’s a school and orderly queuing was expected.

Then in London people in schools didn’t really offer me anything (as far as I can remember), then when I was in people’s house I couldn’t really offer them tea, they were the ones supposed to do that.

I now realize I never experienced working in a proper office environment in the UK and other places I’ve worked to don’t really operate like that.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Thu Mar 14, 2019 11:05 am

Making drinks for the whole team rather than just yourself is certainly more of a standard thing up here than in London.

Calbrena · Post by **Calbrena** » Thu Mar 14, 2019 12:19 pm

I see.

I’m trying to think of what the French equivalent might be but it’s more likely to be clearing the table/washing empty cups for everyone, rather than having to offer cuppas up front. That or bringing random food to share with the whole office. I guess also making a full pot of coffee rather than a single cup, although that’s only common sense really.

Drinking earl gray beer. Counts as a win.

Calbrena · Post by **Calbrena** » Sat Mar 16, 2019 1:13 am

That sounds intriguing.

Eh....maybe if it actually has the tea and not just bergamot.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Mon Mar 25, 2019 6:57 am

Rushing a cuppa, almost Tea game style, so I can get out on time!

I'm drinking Tazo 'passion' tea this week. It's hibiscus & passionfruit based. It's pink and yummy.

Fruity but not too sweet.

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Wed Dec 25, 2019 11:44 pm

Had a couple cups of Buddha's Blend a nice blend of green and white with jasmine and hibiscus that I got for Christmas.

Teatime during the queens speech yesterday

I’d dig up a photo of us having teatime in 2G7 but I can’t be bothered

Fei and I drank coffee because we wanted it to become the face of all the things

I’m drinking from a chipped mug. Original hipster.

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Mon Dec 30, 2019 12:16 pm

I assume it has since crumbled to dust.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Mon Dec 30, 2019 1:15 pm

Wasn't mine, but I assume it got left behind there. I believe the mug you're using smashed a few years later.

EDIT: INCORRECT. I apparently abandoned it in London then forgot that I did that

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Mon Dec 30, 2019 1:57 pm

Haha glad you got that documented.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Mon Dec 30, 2019 2:39 pm

I vaguely remember it now. Nor sure if I scrapped or charity shopped it though. Probably the former, as I doubt anybody would have bought that.

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Mon Dec 30, 2019 2:57 pm

Should have painted it in SG colours and then charity shopped it.

WaWard · Post by **WaWard** » Mon Dec 30, 2019 8:10 pm

I’m drinking a mint green tea and it’s delightful

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Mon Dec 30, 2019 8:42 pm

I’m drinking a lapsang souchong and it’s good

I creeped many of these pics whilst drinking tea earlier

Just has my firsts cup of tea of 2G20!

WaWard · Post by **WaWard** » Mon Jan 06, 2020 6:14 pm

I had green tea on the plane

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Thu Jan 09, 2020 1:44 am

That's a good time to have tea.

WaWard · Post by **WaWard** » Thu Jan 09, 2020 6:34 pm

I had some apple tea stuff at Disneyland. May have contained no actual tea.

Drinking Kirin lemon tea now.

Edibles are about to become legal in canada. I received an email telling me the state run weed shop is going to be selling weed tea.

Socialist Weed Tea means a day 1 purchase.

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Sat Jan 11, 2020 2:15 pm

I don't want weed, but if I did, a tea would definitely be the superior form of intake. Smoking and vaping are disgusting.

We can all drink weed tea at SG world 2G2X Montreal

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Sun Jan 12, 2020 2:54 am

If I wanted weed, tea might be an acceptable means of intake. Or maybe gummies.
