And anyway as Sting says, if you love somebody, set them free. On the contrary, indeed as the Furey Brothers say, you should steal away.

I haven't noticed any but then I wouldn't because I never go to such places as revulsion is what I feel once I get a whiff of the smell of coffee. How do I cope in Kansas City? Over the years I have placed strategic stashes of leaves in different locations, and sometimes kettles, tea-pots, and tea-cosies, as necessary. Other than that I carry my leaves with me.

Well done, Eolaí, well done. Killer line! Not to belittle it, but there's a TV ad running here now where a young boy snatches food from his sister's plate and she turns to him menacingly waving cutlery saying <i>touch my food - feel my fork</i>. Actually, while I think of it: Invest in a TV when you come home - It'll will be worth it, if only for the ads. Squeeze my tea-bag and I will squeeze your mother’s colostomy bag.

Going to a cafe is a pain in the ass because they all reek of coffeee (blech) and they never have any lemons. Yes, I drink my tea with lemon, not milk, and no sugar. Do they have the "Espresso Royale" chain in KC? It was the only cafe chain in the U.S. that had loose tea and lemons instead of crappy Bigelow tea or the other mediocre brands.
