The Old Git Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 I’d post photos of the letters, but we’re having a could of days in a southern pub with accommodation and I can’t figure out how to resize them to fit the forum requirements Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also got a good frother on it - but NOTHING is as good as having Dan from Cycle 360 making one for me. I even get special artwork on top. So, I''m slightly biased, Hedonist 😉 😆 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Phantom Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 7 minutes ago, Roxanne said: I have no idea where that is but I shall search for it. Is that Neeson Clark? He also made an excellent flat white at cycle 360 when he was there. That is indeed the young coffee jedi. Him and his bro (Cameron also ex 360 alumni) had a catering van over the summer called Gringos. But with the festivals and events now over, for the winter they have taken over the shed in carpark next to Mad Jack's on South Quay. They are on Instagram and Facebook. Don't think they've got a website up and running yet. Food is decent too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two-lane Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 1 hour ago, Roxanne said: with my Bustelo coffee and my eBay purchased 17 bar pressure machine Oh dear. All I was trying to do was to give a hint to save money. Clearly the Elite Ladies of Laxey do not need to save money. And for them everything is an opportunity for one-upmanship - my feeble, insignificant 15 bar Gaggia compared to their 17 bar machine. And, of course, making it plain that one is known personally, and receives individually designed coffee, in every coffee bar from here to Sicily. I only get personal service in the supermarket - "Need help with the packing, luv?" I lived in Turin for a while. There were huge copper coffee machines with a pressure dial and an eagle on top. I didn't get around to buying one. Has yours got a pressure dial and an eagle? I thought not. In spite of a 17 bar machine you probably take milk in the Darjeeling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just so you know, hating me doesn't make you look any more pretty. Maybe, if you projected the beauty instead of the ugly inside, you might find people were more inclined to treat you better. Try it. You may be surprised. 🥰 @Two-laneyou'll need some cream for that burn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's still the same ones who tried to turn the Mooragh Park's cafe (now Costa) into a "bistro" then I'm not surprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
