I like a nice cup of Tea in the morning

Just to start the day you see

And at half-past eleven

Well my idea of Heaven

Is a nice cup of Tea.

I like a nice cup of Tea with my dinner,

And a nice cup of Tea with my tea,

And when it?s time for bed,

There?s a lot to be said,

For a nice cup of Tea!s

"A Nice Cup of Tea" from "Home & Beauty" Sung by Gracie Fields Rex 9114

Tea, tea and tea - coffee rarely. Yorkshire used to do a Kenyan (Sainsburys had it) but can't find it now, I like Birchalls and like a dabble with a black Lapsang and a milky Chai now and then but good strong builders is my pref.


Like loose tea in a pot when I can be arsed (usually only Sunday morn): cup & saucer instead of mug, tea cosy, strainer, all the trimmings.

I have coffee in the morning and at various points throughout the day (too much probably). That said I do like a nice cuppa and actually it's probably a better brew to have first thing. I may try changing my routine so as to start with a char.


Clipper Tea is my preferred brand.

3:00 p.m. rise


3:05 Chivas Regal with the morning papers, Dunhills


3:45 cocaine


3:50 another glass of Chivas, Dunhill


4:05 first cup of coffee, Dunhill


4:15 cocaine


4:16 orange juice, Dunhill


4:30 cocaine


4:54 cocaine


5:05 cocaine


5:11 coffee, Dunhills


5:30 more ice in the Chivas


5:45 cocaine, etc., etc.


6:00 grass to take the edge off the day


7:05 Woody Creek Tavern (or the East Dulwich Tavern) for lunch-Heineken, two margaritas, coleslaw, a taco salad, a double order of fried onion rings, carrot cake, ice cream, a bean fritter, Dunhills, another Heineken, cocaine, and for the ride home, a snow cone (a glass of shredded ice over which is poured three or four jig?gers of Chivas.)


9:00 starts snorting cocaine seriously


10:00 drops acid


11:00 Chartreuse, cocaine, grass


11:30 cocaine, etc, etc.


12:00 midnight, Hunter S. Thompson (or Steveo) is ready to write


12:05-6:00 a.m. Chartreuse, cocaine, grass, Chivas, coffee, Heineken, clove cigarettes, grapefruit, Dunhills, orange juice, gin, continuous pornographic movies.


6:00 the hot tub-champagne, Dove Bars, fettuccine Alfredo


8:00 Halcyon


8:20 sleep

I was ready to reach for the heroin after playing a mere snippet of Dulwich Fox's Gracie Fields cat scraping down a blackboard screechings. I'm sure there must have been many a British Tommy during the second world war who hurled himself into German gunfire after being subjected to her tuneless warblings. As Spike Milligan was to note in his memoir Mussolini: His Part in My Downfall, "she's as funny as a steam roller going over a baby."


Anyway, I'm more or less moribund before two large mugs of coffee with my cigarettes in the morning after rising from my pit. Tea is for the afternoon, preferably with a couple of Hobnobs.

    • This week's edition of The Briefing Room I found really useful and impressively informative on the training aspect.  David Aaronovitch has come a long way since his University Challenge day. 😉  It's available to hear online or download as mp3. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002n7wv In a few days time resident doctors -who used to be known as junior doctors - were meant to be going on strike. This would be the 14th strike by the doctors’ union since March 2023. The ostensible reason was pay but now the dispute may be over without more increases to salary levels. The Government has instead made an offer to do something about the other big issue for early career doctors - working conditions and specialist training places. David Aaronovitch and guests discuss what's going on and ask what the problem is with the way we in Britain train our doctors? Guests: Hugh Pym, BBC Health Editor Sir Andrew Goddard, Consultant Gastroenterologist Professor Martin McKee, Professor of European Public Health, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine Mark Dayan, Policy Analyst, Nuffield Trust. Presenter: David Aaronovitch Producers: Caroline Bayley, Kirsteen Knight, Cordelia Hemming Production Co-ordinator: Maria Ogundele Sound Engineers: Michael Regaard, Gareth Jones Editor: Richard Vadon  
    • That was one that the BBC seem to have lost track of.  But they do still have quite a few. These are some in their 60s archive. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0028zp6
