Ooookay...

So, what did the script for that video read - "1. MC mentions tea - hilarity ensues; 2. repeat 1."

Nutty. But I know from my misspent youth in the 1990s that you British have quite a penchant for "novelty songs", don´t you.

80 cups of Earl Gray a day sounds great, but damn. That's a lot of bathroom breaks.

Love it.  lol

It makes a change to hear a novelty song done quite so well.

And I heartily endorse the sentiments of the writers. Tea. British tea. Grown on the Cotswolds by gentleman farmers and jolly bucolic yokels. And buxom, pink cheeked wenches.

Off to make a cuppa now!  :D

You've been painting too many Prussians, my lad!

Ale and Tea are what make Britain Great, Ill have you know. Disparage those mighty drinks and is an affront to dignity itself! You rascal, I ought to thrash you for your impudence!

You are of course absolutely correct. I think as Gluteus has suggested I've been around Prussians far too long. Must get back to painting the defenders of dear Old Blighty. :)

I'd prolly be interested in a shirt, if just for laughs. Ain't a Brit, but tea, crumpets and kippers got a place with me :o.

Can-not-function-without-it: tea. The crazy bugger in the song said it all.
When the zeds come, I'm raiding the tea shop first thing after I make a nice pot. Then we can sort out some weapons and food.

Missed this in all the pre-holiday preparations. Grateful for the threadomancy!

Post by: NECROSTONE on 06 February 2009, 05:48:00 PM
Sort the buggers out indeed!

I take it you mean chavas?

Then I stand by you, Tea! then kill the Chava buggers!

They may be useful when they are dead. I cant find a use for them now.

Yours

Necrotious

Nah, not worried about the charvas.
I'm thinking of these zeds (http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=9426.0;topicseen). Although, in terms of behaviour, it's easy to confuse the two.

Yes, we have them too, even in British Columbia.

More chai please, wallah!

Charvas? Pardon my lowly suburban-ness, but what're they?

Speaking of chai, it's good but Earl Gray's better, haha.
Title: Re: Cup of Brown Joy

'chai' should be interpreted as a generic term for tea, however in today's world it has become synonymous with the (yummy) milky infusion of tea, cardamom & other spices that is Masala Chai.
A Chai Wallah (http://chaipilgrimage.com/2008/11/28/what-is-a-chai-wallah/) can be a good friend in hard times. I miss the old Haji who made tea for me every morning back in Singapore.  :'(
Such good tea...

A Chav (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chav) is, well, someone who probably won't be painting much lead this year. Although I could be wrong on this account. If they did paint, then I think they wouldn't be much of a Chav in the first place.

A pejorative is such an ugly word.
