Problem is, most of the expresso machines that these franchise places use are preset and all they have to do is employ students or school leavers who have little appreciation in what constitutes a good coffee.
Fortunately in my neck of the woods, there are a few boutique places that serve good coffee as well as roast their own beans.

I saw “Unstoppable” the other day. It was a reasonable action film to past the time, though a little reminiscent of a genre of action films made decades ago.

Probably never. I don’t see it in this thread nor in any other thread. No one claims the J-20 is the best program “evah.”

Your jealousy and racism is making you imagine that the Chinese are claiming something that they never did.

They arent short of them over at the SD Forum. They just jumped down a new members throat for daring to be different.

There was an article in “Time” magazine not so long ago. In it they found that the percentage of coffee drinkers in the 18-25? age group of todays generation
had fallen away from the previous decade. I cant remember what the % drop off was, but it must be causing major coffee franchises like “Starbucks”, some manner of concern.
It appears that most of the current generation prefer to drink something like “Red Bull” for their caffeine kick.

£2.39 for a cup of coffee which costs them 6 to 10 pence to cover all costs! Effing outrageous.

Hmmmm, If you are prepared to pay that amount for rubbish, what are you prepared to pay for quality and bty just the coffee bean and milk content can cost anything between 35c-50cents depending on the quality of bean.

They are certainly proud about their J20 over at Sinodefence forum when referring to its impending flight as a historic occasion.
Some even even claiming that its a “kick ****” plane that in time, will dominate anything the West currently has or projected to have.

one hour forty mins and £20 odd that I want back…

shockingly bad, just a blur of action sequences that go so fast you can’t see them, dreadful…..

Yea they should’nt have bothered with the remake. Until then I was thinking maybe some of the ‘Sinbad’ films would have looked good in 3D

Despite not being a great fan of Leonardo DiCaprio, I Went and saw “Shutter Island”. Felt it was a pretty good suspense thriller.
