Tea Healthier Than Water?

[krashkart]

Saw the report on this on Up To The Minute early this morning. Unable to find the video of that broadcast, so here's an article:

You've been listening to to many Englishmen. :haha:

[jumpy]

^^
Quiet, you!

:DL

[nikimcbee]

I think we have a fellow traveller in our midst...

What's next? Roundabouts and you spell the word "colour"

[FIREWALL]

bonnet and boot :haha:

[nikimcbee]

Krashkart, which side of the road do you drive on?


Do you find black pudding repulsive or tasty?


Name you favorite cricket team?

[UnderseaLcpl]

At first glance, I'd say some researchers have been pandering to the tea council for research funding and bbc needed a story. A number of health benefits have been attributed to tea, some genuine, some not, but at least as many health maladies can be attributed to caffeine alone.

One way or the other, I shall continue to enjoy tea the way it is best enjoyed; unsweetened, and ice cold, served in a tall glass:DL

[nikimcbee]

Confess Krashkart, confess your sins!

Someone actually said this to my dad when he was stationed in England.

At first he was like :o :timeout:

But then they clarified things a bit and he got another interesting lesson in how England and America are two countries separated by a common language.

He also found out right quick after arriving that calling someone a "booger" was not quite the same thing in London as it was back home.

[CaptainHaplo]

Actually tea is properly served the Southern way.....

Sweetened and Ice Cold.

However - I do like a spot of sweet Earl Gray, piping hot - on occasion.

(Unsweetened tea - I mean - whats the point???)

[antikristuseke]

That clearly is not the right way to spell coffee, *******s.

I once was sharing the 'differences' with some people I worked with, when one woman asked me a question. She said she and her husband had been on a cruise ship and some English travellers suddenly gave her a strange look. She was still trying to figure out what she'd said to offend them, so she innocently asked me:

"Do you know what 'bugger' means?"

[frau kaleun]

"Do you know what 'bugger' means?"

This is where you break out the "Well, you see, when two men love each other very much..." speech. :D

[TLAM Strike]

1/2 and 1/2 mix of ice tea and lemonade.

Real good stuff.

:yeah:

:yeah:

I believe that's called an "Arnold Palmer". It is good stuff, indeed.

[Sailor Steve]

No, I just casually said something about doing it the way the gay boys do it...

I've seen women blush before, but never quite that color. I would describe it as "tomato red".

[TLAM Strike]

I believe that's called an "Arnold Palmer". It is good stuff, indeed.
Yes Arizona Ice Tea markets it with Arnold Palmer's likeness, and at .99 cents for a big 24 oz can you can't go wrong on a hot day.

But you can make it at home too with Kool Aid packets and ice tea mixed together. I like to use the unsweetened ice tea mix and add a splenda knock off for sweeting.

EDIT: I'm still waiting for someone here to post: "Tea, Earl Gray, Hot".

[jumpy]

Tea,Yorkshire, Hot... milk & 2 sugars.

Seems to have lost some of the 'snap' to it, oh well.

You sir are a heretic and shall be recieving no further correspondance from me. Good day to you.

Good grief, get a hotel room already.:haha: Are you atleast bringing flowers, maybe dinner?:har:

[UnderseaLcpl]

Not your cup of tea, eh? :DL

[frau kaleun]

:haha::up:

He said GOOD DAY SIR!

[TarJak]

Cold tea is not a bad way of taking the heat out of sunburn when applied to the skin, but drinking it? I prefer my POW, EBT or IBT near boiling black with one sugar.
