a mild look of panic flashed across my eyes - as I didn't know the categories on offer..

she informed me it was large, small or medium

I thought medium was the safest bet - and she delivered a BUCKET of coffee!!! in a thick-walled giant cup - that my granny (were she alive) would have no chance of lifting! I shudder to think how big LARGE is....
I will admit to being quite partial to a Costa coffee. Always go small unless you want to be hyper for the next 12 hours.....

At least Small, Medium and Large makes sense!

Is it Starbucks where 'Tall' is the smallest?

I don't like coffee, so I manage to avoid them mostly, though I can be tempted to treat myself to one of the all in hot chocolates with marshmallow whipped cream and even a flake!

Put my back out a week ago and after a few days of agony where it kept going into spasm, it seemed to be getting better. Until last night. Cue a night of agony, no sleep and a trip to the docs. Years ago Diazepam and Temazepam were all the rage, but for the life of me I can't see what the fuss was all about, they're not even touching the pain :(

I was walking down the road with me dad and me sister the other day and one of the many local nutters walked up us and shouted a small, a medium and a large pointing at us indivdually.

sorry if it is a bit of topic but I thought it was quite funny

I confidently predict an addition to the 'Today Im angry about.....' thread within 14 days. I'm going for 64 in a 50 if we're having a sweepstake!
