True or False

[Sslip]

Never had Russian Caravan so let's go Assam, cos that's good. 

 

Need a cuppa - tried and tested or something new? 

[notsmokinjo]

emphasis on NEED... must be tried and tested... fulfill the need then deal with experimentation.

 

Coffee - Espresso or Latte.

[Sslip]

Latte - although the best coffee I ever had was an espresso (it was one of those eye opening moments that no other coffee place has managed to recreate).

 

TNP prefers a standard chain coffee shop to a local barista?

Edited May 28, 2018 by Sslip

[notsmokinjo]

False... I frickin hate chain coffee shops, their barista's are under prepared, under chained and their coffee is half arsed at best. I find most of the local baristas know their stuff but when I get one I like that's it, I'm set with that one.

 

TNP will order tea when out but only if it comes in a pot, not just a cup with a bag.

[Sslip]

False - If I want tea I'll take it however it comes. 

 

TNP has tea towels adorned with mementos of their travels? 

[notsmokinjo]

False - But every time the Parentals go on a trip I get one from them.

 

TNP collects souvenirs of their travels

[Sslip]

False it is mostly just tat (although fridge magnets are acceptable) 

 

TNP spends a lot of time taking snaps of their travels? 

[notsmokinjo]

False - I take pics, when I remember, but I like to capture it in words... do take more pics now I have the kid though than I used to... I have only left my island once... and that was to go to the tiwi island footy grand final....which is still technically Australia... and tassie doesn't count cos that is definitely still australia... I am the worlds worst photo taker because I get shakey so they are always blurry

 

TNP has "travel albums"

 

 

 

[Sslip]

False - I'm the world's worst for taking photos, particularly now that the kids have grown up. I'd rather experience the moment than worry about the perfect shot. 

 

TNP returns to the same holiday locations regularly? 

[notsmokinjo]

True... a creature of habit....

 

TNP... would rather go somewhere new than somewhere tried and tested?

[Sslip]

True - everywhere I've been I'd happily return to, but there is so much more to see. It is nice to go back to a familiar place though. 

 

TNP had a globe when they were young? 

[notsmokinjo]

True... it was this little plastic one I got for like 50 cents at a church Fete. I much preferred the atlas with its fold out pages and history and georgaphy and interesting stuff than a ball the i just spun and spun cos noone had invented fidget spinners yet.

 

TNP.. would take a cocktail list challenge...

(Drink your way through the cocktail list... it might just be a hens night thing)

 

 

[Sslip]

False - I'd barely make it past the first one or two

 

TNP has a cocktail that they haven't tried but would like to?

[notsmokinjo]

^^I don't think many make it past that... ... drinking games are so mature.

 

True... I always wanted to have a Hurricane in New Orleans... and now since our lovely House Mum posted the recipe for her name I want a Sazerac too. (OMG that sounds way dirty than I intended.. which was not at all)... but I don't drink anymore so that''s out..

 

TNP... would rather have a shitty beer than an expensive champagne.

[Sslip]

True - I just don't like champagne 

 

TNP has sunk a few guinnesses in the past? 

[notsmokinjo]

^^ isn't it the cackest drink, I just don't get the hype.

 

True - usually would sink them quicker than they could pour them and would usually result in a toilet quiz at me local.... just think topic of the day with a yes or no answer and drunkenly deniging access to the gents without first answering the gate keepers question.

 

TNP thinks guiness is a wasteful use of good hops.

[Sslip]

False ... I have tried many a beer and guinness is pretty good

 

TNP equates lager to beer?

[notsmokinjo]

True - and guiness is a stout

 

TNP prefers their beer be icy cold.

[Sslip]

False (although it's best on a really hot day)

 

TNP has ever drunk mild?

[notsmokinjo]

^bloody europeans and they hot/warm beer... might as well be drinkin piss... should only ever be icy cold.

 

True.. cos i never heard of no drink named Mild ..... True because when I drank it was always heavy and full on ... unless Mild should be Mead and then false... cos we had it at me cousins medieval themed wedding.

 

TNP has never gone to work straight from the nightclubs.

[Sslip]

(it's what comes of early drinking being in ex service men's clubs that my dad was a member of - also where a love of cribbage comes from) 

 

True - I have never gone to work straight from a nightclub 

 

TNP has a relaxing weekend lined up? 

Edited June 1, 2018 by Sslip

[notsmokinjo]

False - My Brother is arriving at my parents some time tonight with his missus and kids... there will be fresh dish/shellfish but there will also be words... he has called in the baby sister from her peninsular artisan bakery to be in attendance... so have me helmet and bullet proof vest all ready for the crazy.

 

TNP has to play sport this weekend

Edited June 1, 2018 by notsmokinjo

[Sslip]

True - it is our version of summer after all

 

TNP has anyone else on their side for the events of the upcoming weekend? 

[notsmokinjo]

False - Donkere Moeder will have drawn little bro, and the sisters to her dark side and the aunts and uncles.... i'll have the quasi bro-in-law but he usually stays out of it... might have one of me uncles...and dad will just zone out into his own little world... but if I don't show he will have to face the battery alone.

 

TNP... is glad they don't have a huge family living in each other's pockets.

[Sslip]

True 

 

TNP wishes sometimes others would butt out of other people's decisions
