I mostly dislike coffee but if I had to have a cuppa I want espresso which is cool because espresso is a thing I will never ever make.

I feel it's important to point out that no one in Australia drinks Fosters. Plus I didn't know anyone in the North West who drank it either, everyone drank Boddingtons or Stella Artois.

Fun Fact: Fosters isn’t even brewed in Australia, anywhere, ever.

Ffs you put two teabags and two sugar cubes into a sports direct nug, walk to the kitchen area, put the milk in while the kettle is boiling, pour the hot water in, walk back to your desk making sure nobody can see into the mug cos it just looks like milky water at this point, wait 5-10 minutes for it to metamorphose into tea and then you fish the bags out with either a knife or the end of your pen.

It was originally an Aussie lager though, it was made here for a long time, it fell out of favour in Australia and became popular abroad instead. You can buy it here, it's just that nobody does.

However, what they assumed was Portuguese actually turned out to be Klingon - the made-up language used by the Klingon race in Star Trek.

They explained: "I thought he was speaking Portuguese or something similar up until last week.

"One day I was curious what language the child was speaking so I looked up what Portuguese actually sounded like and realized it wasn't that.

"I looked up a lot of languages and for the life of me could not identify it."

The worker then claims to have asked bosses what the language was.

"They all suddenly got big smiles on their faces," they said.

"They explained to me in depth that the dad was a linguistics hobbyist who was trying to recreate an experiment where he raises his kid to speak a language from the TV show Star Trek.

"He explained how at home he only has spoken Klingon (which is apparently a real full language) to the kid and that's all he knows."

Wait do you mean a tea urns like


Because that's the closest that I can think of to boiling the water with teabags in, except they don't boil, they just heat and keep temperature, and I've only ever seen them in industrial places and old school/church/county halls. Nobody's doing that at home.

When I was a kid we did actually have a tea urn that my dad "liberated" from his work when they sacked the tea lady and made everyone make their own. It got dragged out for family occasions when the poor old kettle and teapot just couldn't keep up. It could boil the water but crucially had a little cage at the top that the (gigantic) catering tea bag went into - it'd boil the water, then it would drop the bag in afterwards. It also kept the heat pretty well so we'd use it as a thermos for long car journeys and picnics.

The true hardcore way of doing it (still practiced at some cafes) is to leave two or three bags in basically all day, watering down the bunker oil-like substance that comes out as required.

I knew I should have corrected that to "Nobody's doing that at home except of course one goon."

That's second one's the way I was thinking of, big thermos like urn with a heating element at the bottom and a thermostat that keeps it at 80-85C, and you just chuck a handful of teabags in and keep topping it up.

Sorry, I should have said the made-up language used by the Lusitanics to piss off the Moors and then kept ever so slightly too different to Spanish to piss off the Castilians.

All languages are made-up, there's only the scopes of 'by whom' and 'for what purpose'.

I'm disgusted with my Welsh countrymen that ours isn't one of the many delicious Welsh beers (though at least peroni is better than the other lagers represented)

As always with these "More likely than the average" maps, it's worth pointing out that they're incredibly misleading (i.e.- complete bollocks).

The most popular beer in Wales is the same as that in the rest of the UK- Carling, followed by Fosters. What the map is actually saying is that the area where Wales diverges the most from the rest of the dataset is in its Peroni consumption, which is higher than average. Peroni might be the fifth, tenth or twentieth most popular by actual level of consumption, but compared to the rest of the country, Wales has it ranked unusually higher.

Also, any brewery that isn't a massive company is just not going to be included in the data set.
