Even here in the office, if the espresso van is late or I miss it for some reason, almost everyone in the building knows to steer clear of me or risk injury... wink The girls in the admin support section have even been known to go out (under their own steam, not having been asked) and buy me coffee, when asked they explain it as a “community service gesture” … not so much for me…but for those around me…. laugh

A mate I hunt with a few times a year (he is Croatian) makes his own wines, as he says some "vintages" (more of a week than a year for him) are better than others. No preservatives so very little in the way of a hangover when he “forces” me to drink it… no truly…I describe him as “The Devil” when it comes to food and drink…he is not at all happy unless everyone around him is eating and drinking….but he is a great cook and his wine is nice…so we do….as I said… he is The Devil..!!


I've never smoked, really don't drink alcohol, gave up caffeine and soft drinks about four years ago. Giving up coffee is still hard. When I smell it or see a free sample someplace.... It takes a lot of will power to resist its deliciousness.
