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.....thebish wrote:I don't generally frequent coffee shops - for two reasons:

however - I went into Tescos to use their free wifi in the cafe - and that is run by Costa... so I braved the counter
I asked for an americano - and fortunately there were no follow-up questions - EXCEPT - what size would you like, sir?
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....
Re: Today I'm angry about.....
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!

Re: Today I'm angry about.....
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 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!
