Make your choice

Right, comments to my last post reveal that far too many of my friends lists are uncultured barbarians who don't appreciate good coffee. This is no good at all. Something must be done.

In the meantime, I want to find out what else you're all making the wrong decision about. So I thought I'd poll it good.

[Poll #826727]

It's a big bunch of either/ors. Like all good polls, there's no sitting on the fence, make a choice. I'd have posted more, but apparently 15 is the limit.

Might do some sort of meme quiz thing out of it if I can figure out how to code one, I'll get there eventually...

And I still hate coffee. Although it does smell nice.

Okay, I filled it in. Now what do I win Mr Mat?

Don't worry, I heart coffee too :)

Especially the little shops in France where you go in and the walls are lined with bags and bags of coffee beans. You can choose what you want (for example, by going in and saying 'I want something strong but not too bitter and with an x aftertaste') and they'll choose the right coffee for you, then grind it for a cafetiere, for a coffee machine, or not at all according to your request. It's like Whittard but better :D

None of this artificial crap that Nestle churn out for me :)

I would have liked very much to reply 'Both' or 'It depends' to a lot of those. For example, tea happens before 6pm and coffee happens afterwards. And I drink pretty much equal amounts of beer and gin and tonic. I was born to sit on the fence, I think.

I don't like either tea or coffee, though like nadriel I do like the smell of coffee.

Daddy or chips?

I can be quite into tea at times and interested to try as many different brands, but I know it doesn't compare to the proper ground coffee you can get from Whittards.

I have been drinking coffee a lot less now, mainly because it's one of the very few foodstuffs that doesn't agree with me in the morning.

Your poll makes a welcome change from those usually banded around the internets which have 2361 questions such as 'which grade in high school did you so flunk out of?'. Needless to say I don't spend my time answering them.

Hot drink: don't like either of 'em.
Animals: don't like either of them either.
Theology: more complicated than that.
Evening in: on a computer.
Live Entertainment: mostly best avoided.
Baths and showers: should both be short, so I can spend my time doing something interesting.
Alcohol: don't need my neurochemistry messing up more than it already is, thank you.
Change: is change. Other than that, it's diverse and varied.

And yes, I know you said I had to choose one or the other, but I'm awkward.

Can't vote. That was either very short or something's gone wrong.

Tea/Coffe - neither
God but not religion
Intimacy... give me a chance to find out m'kay?
Films - watched two or three times over a few weeks/months if they're good, and then perhaps again a year or two later.

Interesting, except
  • weekend with culture
  • evening with a book
  • music as entertainment
  • politics as news


What a cultured community LJ is!

I feel so shallow after filling that in, haha.

Frankly, I'm disappointed by the lack of a "Daddy or chips?" question.
