Evidence for why we know the New Testament writers told the truth.

It isn't your fault Brits are enamored with vowels. I would offer to raise a cup in long-distance empathy, but 6:45 am is a bit too early to imbibe. I will stick with tea for now.

I will raise my own tea now, so strong the spoon stands up and with ten sugars, to salute your birthday. At least, as a tea drinker you understand that it is made with boiling water, a notion that is sadly lacking in the 48.

Re vowels. A few hundred years ago English spelling made more sense but then it didn't change but the way we spoke did; ladies and gentleman, welcome to The Great Vowel Shift. For reasons unknown. but much conjecture, we began to pronounce fewer vowels than before. You Americans inherited this but actually decided to do something about the spelling and cleaned it up. I will stick, however, to the flavour of my beer.

You may not know that millions of us here don't drink mass market swill like Bud and Miller. The US is quite full of wonderful microbrews. As much as I like Newcastle and Guiness, there is no shortage of beer here that is just as good or better.

Interesting perspective; Newky Brown and Guinness are at the better end of mass-market swill here, not what I'd pick as examples of the finest beers available.

Thank you kindly, and now I can raise a glass of something stronger than tea (but probably not stronger than tea with ten sugars!).

Many of us here don't swallow mass market bilge like Genesis and Revelation. The world is quite full of wonderful reality. As much as I like neurobiology and geology, there is no shortage of science here that is just as well researched or better.

There's no problem with the supply of the good stuff... its the marketing of and consequent demand for the crap that is of concern

This is cool. I share my birthday with Hokulele, whom I enjoy reading very much. I can only aspire to her post count and knowledge.

I've recently started drinking a tea that my local tea shop calles Ti Kwan Yin but which I've seen elsewhere as Iron Buddha. I like the latter name, myself. It's a Chinese black tea - an oolong, and quite refreshing.

Thanks for clearing something up for me; I tried the Ti Kwan Yin tea myself and I couldn't believe it wasn't Buddha
 
The Sultan sat on his oriental mat,
in his harem in downtown Persia,
He took a sip of his coffee,
just a drip, and he said to his servant Kersia,
“Ah, curse ya, curse ya, curse ya,
That’s the worst cup of coffee in Persia!”

Chorus

All I want is a proper cup of coffee,
made from a proper copper coffee pot,
I may be off my nut,
but I want a proper cup of coffee
from a proper copper pot.
Iron coffee pots and tin coffee pots,
they’re no good to me!
If I can't have a proper cup of coffee
from a proper copper coffee pot,
I'll Throw you in the sea

In old Baghdad in old Baghdad, in old Baghdad
Very often I have had cups of coffee by the dozen
And you all should make my coffee just as good
and without my blasted cussing
“Ah, curse ya, curse ya, curse ya,
That’s the worst cup of coffee in Persia!”

(Repeat Chorus)


In days of old when knights and men were bold, and
whiskey was much cheaper,
Burt Turpin rode to a coffee shop and
showed his pistolsto the keeper,
When Bonaparte found that he was in the cart and he lost
that Waterloo fight,
He gave his sword to Wellington, my Lord, and he said
"Those British can't half fight,
Now you've had your Waterloo, sir, tell me what am I
having with you, sir?"

(Repeat Chorus)


Now King Solomon and his queen would carry on, so we
heard in the ancient scandals,
He bought her lots of silver coffee pots with diamond
legs and handles,
And said the Queen of Sheba, "I'd rather have any old
tea-bag..."
Can't you see that I'm all a'quiver?"


(Repeat Chorus)

I never was served warm beer in Britain.I have no idea where this myth comes from.British beer is served cold,but not chilled beyond flavour.That might be the reason for this calumny.
