I think they call themselves Starbucks here in the US of A. 8-) Starbucks roast there own beans? In the individual franchise shops? If so my assessment of them just went up a couple of notches. But there's still a lot of notches to go before I'll try their brew again. No it's all preprocessed befor...

I don't understand. Doesn't the USA have little coffee shops that roast their own beans on every street corner like we do in Australia? (JK, that's a bit hyperbolic.

I don't remember for sure, but I think it was an episode of "Alfred Hitchcock Presents". A bank clerk, after 20 years or something, giving exemplar service was 'retired' without so much as a gold watch. But he was ready for it, he embezzled a couple hundred thousand and "hid it somewh...

That's weird.
When I've got that seat (and I love to have that seat) when the stew comes to give me the spiel they offer to move me to another seat if I'm not willing or able to do the job.
Did they offer and she refused to move?
Some peoples children, I dunno.

Cruise control is great on the OPEN HIGHWAY. It is worthless around town. It has taken me 10 years to break SWMBO of the habit of using CC in town in stop and go traffic and use the Speed Limiter instead. I'm so used to (appropriate use of) CC and SL now that when I was sharing driving on a road tro...

As I type, there is a small passenger plane (business jet maybe) circling Newcastle New South Wales (for two hours already) losing fuel load and giving emergency services time to set up.
Its landing gear has failed.

I had a toll tag when I lived in Dallas. Hated the thing. They would always glitch out my autopay information (I would have it put $X on it ever month, or if I hit 0, it would pull that amount), which lead to me owing money. Rarely got notified I owed money until it was way overdue and they started...
