Perfect.

[Rachiejane1]

How is this a response to Flight of the Conchords?!! There is nothing better than a cup of tea after a long day - God I sound like an old lady!

[gardenspoon]

@Rachiejane1 It's just somewhere to put where it may get a few views. Thanks.

[Rachiejane1]

@gardenspoon Ah! I liked it! You sound like a nice person with a sense of humour - more people like you are needed on youtube!

[gardenspoon]

@Rachiejane1 Well I certainly have a sense of humour, though many get offended by some of my videos, but I am only doing what amuses me. :)

[CurrentlyDisconected]

AHhaha nice one mate.

[gardenspoon]

@CurrentlyDisconected Without sugar I hope.

[JasonMiliband]

[jondavis1234]

Thank you for this video, I've always wanted to drink the perfect cup of tea.

[gardenspoon]

@jondavis1234 And now you can :P

[gazmetal]

I have 3 sugars, sometimes 4.

[gardenspoon]

@gazmetal That's disgusting!!! Yuk! You bloody northerners!

[Danny77uk]

You're friend (the skin'ed) is well scary!

[gardenspoon]

@Danny77uk Yes he is. That's my brother btw :)

[drdrtfehytf]

George Orwell wrote that the perfect cup of tea was to be strong. He recommended adding milk to the tea, but never sugar because one might as well add pepper or chilis or salt or anything else.

[gardenspoon]

@drdrtfehytf Yes, I really don't know why anyone would add sugar, it isn't tea-like if it's sweet.

[littlegalah]

nooooo not bags

do it in a pot with real tea

[gardenspoon]

@littlegalah That'd be far too complicated for most people to understand.

[littlegalah]

@gardenspoon my wife pointed out to me, you made this uncomplicated video for the uneducated, uncultured and uncouth markets of France and the USA. Because the rest of the world knows how to make tea.

GOD SAVE THE COMMONWEALTH because no one will save the United States.

(ok Trolls, I have left an opening for yous, go for it)

[gardenspoon]

@littlegalah Those trolls will sniff out your biscuits, oh yes :P

[JasonMiliband]

@littlegalah u think yor cleva but u not any1 can use big words if thay av a dicshonory

[gardenspoon]

@JasonMiliband Big is better, unless you have nothing to speak of.

[littlegalah]

@gardenspoon they named a hotdog after mine in the USA, the footlong. Eat your heart out jamie Oliver.. .hah

[gardenspoon]

@littlegalah What - biscuits?

[littlegalah]

@JasonMiliband seem you like the idea of a big word, I will give you one: "Supercalafranchalisticexpiala­docious" and thats from the movie, Mary Poppins. Dont ask me what it means, i dont have a dictionary. I asked my wife how to spell it.

[alzebub666]

tea is wretched stuff comparable to stagnant dishwater, though I am partial to liptonice in a can ;O)

[gardenspoon]

@alzebub666 No, no, tea is lovely, you must be thinking of something else :)

[gpzDave]

That was Tea-riffic!!!!

;)

[gardenspoon]

@gpzDave Ah very good. You should write puns for Russ Abbot :P

[lilskaterkids]

LMFAO!! This was classic

[gardenspoon]

@lilskaterkids Thank you, that's what I like to hear :)

[ComedyRoundTheCorner]

Crap just spilt all the hot water over me!

[gardenspoon]

@ComedyRoundTheCorner Damn it Lex, why couldn't have followed the instructions step-by-step? Making tea is dangerous!!!

[ComedyRoundTheCorner]

@gardenspoon I know I'm very sorry :o

[gardenspoon]

@ComedyRoundTheCorner Good, now get to the hospital right now!!!

[ComedyRoundTheCorner]

@gardenspoon sorry but no one is working in the hospital anymore because of the cuts :L

[gardenspoon]

@ComedyRoundTheCorner Cuts are more serious than burns :P

[ComedyRoundTheCorner]

@gardenspoon haha :D

[tomken8dy]

I drink green tea. No sugar, no milk, domo arigato...

Right this instant I'm drinking a large cup of nice strong coffee.

A little milk, very little sugar.

I handed the lady $1.00 and she handed me my lovely liquid stimulant.

[gardenspoon]

@tomken8dy Ah, I may be missing instructions on how to prepare these beverages, I should do some research, some may feel left out, and make a total tool of themselves while making a cup of coffee.

[tomken8dy]

@gardenspoon

Here in New York you usually go to the counter and ask the nice lady,

"I'd like a cup of coffee, please." Specify small, medium or large, one, two or three sugars, milk or half and half./

She will hand you a Styrofoam container full,of lovely hot liquid stimulant, hand her

$1.00 (more in many places) say "Thank you, have a good day" even if you don't mean it.

THEN there's StarBucks and other overpriced joints that offer a confusing variety that cannot be covered here.

[gardenspoon]

@tomken8dy Do they not make tea and coffee in one's own kitchen there?

[tomken8dy]

@gardenspoon

Only when necessary.

Otherwise we buy it take-out in Styrofoam cups.

[gardenspoon]

@tomken8dy Oh, I'd find that a bit expensive, but then I drink about 12 cups every day, and to buy a take-out cup of coffee costs about £2.50. So, it's much cheaper to drink beer.

[tomken8dy]

@gardenspoon

That's sol expensive it's blasphemous!

How about beer with caffeine?

"All the buzz of alcohol, without loss of alertness."

[gardenspoon]

@tomken8dy It is expensive, but it's cheap to make at home.

I've never tried beer and caffeine, and I don't think I will either. Bet you have though.

[tomken8dy]

@gardenspoon

Kahlua coffee liqueur has caffeine I think.

Mix it with Vodka to make a Black Russian.

Absinthe also lets you stay alert while drunk.

Good Idea to drink coffee while ur getting pissed.

Makes it easier to find the toilet.

[gardenspoon]

@tomken8dy I've never had a problem finding anything while drunk, many a time I have gooten home but not remembered the journey.

[tomken8dy]

@gardenspoon

Let's put it this way

It will improve your aim....

[gardenspoon]

@tomken8dy Speaking of which; do the American police only use those sobriety challenges for drunk drivers, or do they use breathaylizers now?

[tomken8dy]

@gardenspoon

They use both.

When they're bored they find it very entertaining

to torment drunks.

[gardenspoon]

@tomken8dy Well, you'd never know having seen only the footage on popular taffic cop type programs.

[TwistedTrainWreck]

holy shit! someone needs a shave!

really awesome video tho :P

-spills boiling water on face-

[gardenspoon]

@TwistedTrainWreck If he had a shave people would stop crossing the road, and he wouldn't like that.

[TwistedTrainWreck]

@gardenspoon hahaha xD!

[gardenspoon]

@TwistedTrainWreck I bet Andy won't be laughing at that, actually he might, in fact he probably will ;P

[JasonMiliband]
