The Tea Drinkers Thread

[mightyrooster]

I just got an email from Foxtel saying they’re putting up their premiums again. They’ve just spent a few months offering new customers huge deals on half price packages and nothing for existing customers, in my case almost 30 years a subscriber, but a premium hike!

It's bloody disgraceful. I've been with Foxtel since 1997 and they have never offered me anything. Loyalty gets you nowhere in this day and age.

I love buying teacups from our local charity shops. For my birthday in 2024, I bought myself a T2 cup and saucer set for $12 from Lifeline on Bondi Road and when I looked it up online, it was selling for $45

I bought another, pink and gold, with a lid, also T2, for $7 at Vinnies.

Oh Duchy Your thoughtfulness for the needy has no bounds

Me too Red. I’ve been a subscriber since 1997 as well.

Watching the moon rising over the sand dunes and reflecting on the river, absolutely stunning.

It's funny how every generation will tell you that such and such was better 'back in their day'. I'm very mindful of this and appreciate the way things are 2026.

The "back in my day" mantra irks me.

My kids are in their early 20’s so they help keep me young. A benefit of having kids when older I guess. They do find it fascinating hearing my stories about life before the internet, smartphones, social media, Spotify and TV streaming though.

Having a pot of English Breakfast tea with my breakfast at a cafe on the way out from Stuarts Point. Next stop Taree to visit in laws but will do a quick side trip through Port Macquarie on the way.

Back in my day, men didn't drink tea or go to cafes

Back in my day men went to pubs. Real pubs!

None of this wood fired pizza oven in the middle of the pub bullshit.

Back in my day we slept on dirt farking floors and we'd get up, go to work, have a can of baked beans for lunch then off to the pub for 12 schooners then home for tea and a root.

Back in my day this place was full of farking alphas.

The 'olden days'.

Real men drink tea and they are allowed to cry and feel emotions.

Yep when things weren’t available instantly like they are now. It’s a completely foreign concept to those born this century.
