Melbourne
My three money sinks at the moment are:
1) cold brew coffee;
2) eating out; and
3) buying stuff for my dog.
Well, and videogames.
Nicely done man. I'm still getting nicotine via a vape so technically half quit. First couple of weeks, after a 16 year 20 a day habit, I wanted to kill everything in sight but finding it easy as now. The money saving is the eye opener really, £40 for a three month's supply for the vape, which is less than one week's spend on cigs.
Its a mug's game - but its so fucking satisfying at the same time.
It would save me money if I were to do so, but no.
We buy cartons of cold brew from a shop across the corner.
In Edmonton, I just went to this cafe called Transcend every day for cold brew, which cost me between $10-35 a week depending on who happened to be working to the till. The Christians working there never gave staff discounts or freebies.
...do you make YOUR own cold brew? Tell me in detail.
A large part of my outsourcing it is that I'm really social, so I enjoy the experience of going to a cafe.
People that are wankers about coffee are worse than wine wankers who are already very bad.
Despite knowing my fair share of coffee afficionados and having been exposed to the Secret Artes behind it, my taste levels are still these:
* fucking garbage
* it's fine
* good
Unfortunately, I now find it's a lot harder for coffee to be good. : moop:
It's just coffee, so why is it becoming so hard?
I've a grindy machine at home, but I'd just as happily have a Costa.
The guys next door live off takeaways to an unhealthy degree. Their recycling's full of newspaper and trays. I don't get it. There's two of you. Cook something.
Probably my nerdbeer.
What's cold brew? Is the drink itself cold or is it made cold and then heated up?

Don't know if I'd like cold but I must give it a try during our 3 days of summer.
I got into cold brew because I'm too big of a wuss to handle piping hot coffee.
Yeah alright hipster.
Lewis, what origin and flavour notes do you prefer in your milk?
At the moment, Im not really buying any foolishness or anything I dont really need. Actually do M&Ms count. I pay about 3 big bags per weeks.
What do you get for them?
I'm a twit
The postal vote rates are abnormally high in Glasgow and Newcastle compared to any other British city, iirc. Where does the cultural laziness come from?
EDIT: just looked it up, 18% nationwide, 44% in Newcastle. That is dramatic.

It's how Brexit was won, folks.
Says the Newcastle man.
Back on topic, wanker beers. I was walking home this evening and spend about eight quid on two small bottles.
Cold brew is great.
Coffee in the UK is almost always utter shite.
Or they're banned from school grounds.
Children.
You know what. I wanted to add some emphasis to that, but there is no word you can use that doesn't leave you on the spectrum between Savile and Hindley.
"Fucking Children"
"Bloody Children"
"Shitting Children"
So yeah. As you were.
Too much tbh.
At the moment, it's Japanese Yen and hotels for October, but otherwise -
1. Beer
2. Clothes
3. Tattoos
4. Records
5. Eating out
Don't forget skating merch, dude.
It's famous for Knife crime too. Actually, London is famous for Knife Crime and Government Corruption too. And Turkey.
I'd have thought I was on to something, but Northern Ireland ruin it with their love of bombs and drill bits instead.
I'm sure there has been some prodigious postal vote fraud in Tower Hamlets over the years.
Postal Vote fraud will be the tip of the Fraudberg round there. Has that Breakfast Cereal Restaurant that outraged the world shut down yet?
No, it’s a chain now. I saw one in New Streey Station.
I buy a lot of books I don't end up reading. I like to think I'm single-handedly saving independent bookstores from the Amazon apocalypse, but really I'm just indulgent.
Engagement rings, weddings and honeymoons. Can probably add house stuff to that as well.
Too much adult stuff.
Yeah definitel the house. Living room, dining room and two bedrooms done since we moved in. And 2/3 of the loft boarded. Final bedroom to be done by Easter :/
