Running again! Fancy a brew?

[silverbullet]

I've mentioned this to a couple of folks but for the record Carb back on and running Sunday afternoon, after a lot of faffing about moving vehicles, emptying garages, swapping parts and drinking tea.
A bit rattly and tappetty but we're back in business!
Now the real work begins to get t&t, wheels sorted, CB nailed in (aerial needed), nasty noise identified etc
Perfect timing, what with the nights drawing in so it will all have to be done at the weekends. I ain't jacking it up on a sloping drive in the dark, no way.

The tea is very important .... I personally prefer Camomile tea.

My favourite is a blend of Earl Grey and Assam.

And I was expecting a lot of "about ruddy time, you slacker, never mind the mot it's for offroad anyway" etc...
But back to the brews: I do like a good Assam or occasionally Ceylon.

Room for improvement! Your Westy had a few hidden horrors though. Mine are all in full view!

Tea anyone .... ?

Yeah, let's have a brew and look at it for a bit while we think up a plan of action...
Oooh, Hobnobs!

I like crappy things. You could always sell it to me and buy some tea!!




The most expensive tea in the world, however, is a rare Chinese tea called Tieguanyin, which is priced at £1,700 per kilo (that’s around $1,500/lb). The tea is named after the Buddhist deity Guan Yin (Iron Goddess of Mercy). It’s an oolong tea, meaning its oxidization is somewhere between that of black and green teas. Luckily for anyone who buys this expensive tea, a leaf can be brewed up to seven times before it loses its flavor.

Guan Yin (Iron Goddess of Mercy)

I think I have just found a name for the syncro, born from a joke about tea! £1700 a kilo is no joke mind

a leaf can be brewed up to seven times before it loses its flavor.

7 = Maximum number of rebuilds before a syncro has to be composted

... and if you multiply 7 by 6 you get the number thats the answer to the meaning of life ..... 42. Last Sunday (10/10/10) was also 42 in binary so was a special day ...... tea anyone?

I'd like to complain about the last post as its off topic.
