Are you less of a man for not drinking tea.

[DTS]

Ben in the office here refuses point blank to drink tea as it "smells of ****". Now this worries me as one day he will be raising children and I fear he may pass on these stupid opinions to his innocent siblings.

I have today told him he is less of a man for not drinking tea. He argues he is more of a man for not bowing to peer pressure and drinking gods drink - tea.

Ben says why would he want to drink sometihng that smells of ****?

Who is correct.

You know NOT to get me started on tea.

tea makes the world go around

Tea is the most foul thing I have ever tasted, and it makes your breath stink of ****!!!

 

[MK Shrimper]

Pretty much a coffee man, but sometimes dabble in the tea. Do like a nice spot of green tea occasionally.

Tea is the way forward!

Amended for you. Look ok now?!

I agree though, Tea is gods drink. Not many drinks you'll be able to get in practically every country in the world!

I also think it is coffee that makes your breath stink too!

It all depends on who makes it i think. The women at my work make pi$$y tea, so i won't drink it! I tell em as well!

Amen to that :)

He's sleeping with his sister?!?!?!? :eek: :eek: :eek:

Actually he probably is, as he is enough of a wrong'un not to like tea.

Spoken like a true tea-boy.

For what it's worth (i.e. not much) I tend not to drink tea or coffee all that much, but if I do I make sure there's some chewing gum nearby, because all those comments about the bad breath are spot on.

Remember 'teacher coffee breath' from your school days?

What the hell is wrong with people these days? Tea is more than just a drink. It's the liquid essence of all that we are; all that we hold dear.

We live in a country poisoned by crime, strangled by hatred and slumped knee-deep in its own effluence. It is our curse to live out our short lives in Mediocre Britain, with only our history books to remind us of when we were Great.

We have millionaire sportsmen who build up our dreams and then shatter them with their insipid failure. They will never make us proud to British, only perpetually ashamed.

We have corrupt politicians who lie to us every day. Will they make you feel proud to be British?

Our very souls are locked in eternal bondage, suppressed by the power of an establishment that sees you only as a consumer, not a man lucky enough to have been sired on this nook-shotten isle, this sceptered crown.

Yes, the situation is bleak.

But, by all that is holy, by all that is sweet and pure in this dark world, that changes when you drink a cup of tea. When the sweet golden liquid passes your lips, you know what you are. You are British.

Every adventure, every battle, every success of our Empire is in your cup of tea. The laugh of a child, the soft breath of a lover. It's all in tea.

There's not much in this mortal coil to keep a man sleeping soundly in his bed, but the presence of tea gives us all hope. It makes anything possible.

If you don't drink tea then by thunder, you're no better than a Frenchman.

Mon Dieu! !!

Poor effort Slipper.

You failed to answer the question and started waffling on about nationality. The question was: 'does drinking tea make you less of a man?'

The key phrases in any such argument are "the PG Tip chimps", "Kevin Maher" and "the missing link".

2/10. Must try harder.

I think tea and its surrounding paraphernalia are the only things that could turn me into Cho Smy Gun (or whatever his name was in America the other day).

In very poor taste..........
But then again that's much like tea in fact, so I have to forgive you! ;)

And with those words of wisdom I celebrate my 5,000th post :D

(Sad, but I've been waiting all morning to post something really incisive and well thought out. Oh well that's my imposed cold-turkey ended so I can now post away!)

 

[BoyWonder2]

Gotta love a cuppa tea. Ben is less of a man.
