It's lovely when you find coffee like that. I think it's best done
with water just off the boil (a few degrees down from 100) and not
left to stand - the bitter 'cooked' taste comes from coffee that has,
well, cooked ie been exposed to too much heat.
And then you have to add fresh pouring cream. Just enough.

Urrrrg, coffee needs to be fresh, boiled/stood/stewed coffee is the work

cafitiere/filter seem to surpass the rest, well, and of course the

Is the head of a duck particularly tasty?
I haven't actually bought anything in the sense of paying real money for
it, apart from lunch and one of those "what the hell is he going to do
with that?" shopping baskets (bottle of whiskey, bunch of coriander,
frozen peas). I had several Amazon packets arrive today (one may or may
not be with neighbours, I am going to get very cross with the PO

Oddly, just before I read this, I also read[0]:
"Ecstasy is rapidly broken down by the liver but about 60% enters the urine
unchanged. The urine could be drunk to recycle it, in the same way that
Siberian tribesmen drink each other's urine after eating magic mushrooms.
This is known in most circles as 'desperate'.

The French have a saying 'café bouillu, café foutu', boiled coffee is fucked
coffee.
The linguists among you might know that the past participle of 'boullir' is
'boulli' but of course that doesn't rhyme so the Académie Française can go
screw itself.

You reckon. I always find the stuff is pretty tepid (for my taste) by the
time it gets through and it's pretty heavy on coffee. I think that the best
method is one of those coffee pots where you put the water in the bottom,
coffee in the middle and the pressure that builds up when you heat it on the
gas sends the coffee to the top. It's pretty similar to the expresso
principle in fact. Otherwise the plunger method is not bad

Good buy - probably one of my favorite LPs (I've got 2 LP copise, and one

An excellent brew.
They should have 'Desert Island Brews' on Radio 4:
Famous drug-addled and/or alcoholic celebrities (tautology?) endorse the ten
bottles of beer - nay, make that kegs - that they would want washed up with
them. George Best springs to mind. I've still got him on a treble at
Ladbrokes with Paul McCartney and Oliver Reed before Ozzy(bless 'im). Apart
from the recent scare, the bet still looks good. I was a tosser to go for
Paul instead of Linda, though.

They have an organic honey one that tastes more of honey than Waggledance
that is rather nice. Bloody ridiculous price though.
The Elderflower beer (Eylsium?) is rather good too.

Yes but just as expressive, better perhaps as the French had to cheat with
'boiullu' to make the rhyme.

Have you tried Fuller's(?) organic honey beer? It's much, much nicer than

Yes, I have tried it. It was just as good. I just like honey beer,

Not 'fouto' but 'foutu' from the verb 'foutre' which strictly speaking means
'to fuck' but is only used in that sense in 'vas te faire foutre'='go and
fuck yourself' otherwise it means 'fuck' as in 'fuck up', so things like
'c'est foutu'='it's fucked' or in things like 'je m'en fous. je n'ai rien à
foutre'= 'I don't give a fuck/toss/tinker's cuss'. Foutre as a noun
means sperm (vulg.).
The general word used for 'fuck' in the sense of sexual intercourse is
'baise' from 'baiser' which, strictly speaking (and as well) means 'kiss'.
So when Chirac kisses the hand of Laura Bush, to her chagrin, he is giving
her a 'baise-main' which is not a 'hand fuck' whereas when Mitterand screwed
his many girlfriends one could say 'il les a baisé'. Generally people use
the word 'embrasser' for 'to kiss' rather than 'baiser'. 'Baiser' can also
be
used figuratively as 'fucked' or 'screwed' could be in English such as in 'I
was screwed by the company' 'la société m'a baisé'. The context sorts it out
usually.
So in the song mentioned above the sense is 'you're fucked/screwed'.

No it isn't, no more than any language. You'll hear the words 'fous' and
foutu' fairly often so just remember it means fuck(ed) as in "I dont give a
fuck" and "it's fucked". Otherwise, if you've got your running shoes on, you
can throw in a 'vas te faire foutre' when some obnoxious civil servant or
parisian waiter comes out with a load of bollocks. You wont be expected to
know the lterary form of the subjunctive pluperfect .
