Are you a member of UKIP??

How do you feel about Sargon of Akkad (Carl Benjamin)??

What about Paul Joseph Watson??

Left last year.  Here is some UKIP porn:

I am less like a mad screechy autistic Wilders fanboy dweeb and more chilled out now.  I have returned to my liberal roots.  Now it's really back to the learning.  The nationalism has been toned down a lot.

Sargon calls himself a classical Liberal.

Do you watch any of his videos??

[Tequila]

Has he done any writing?  I'm vaguely aware of him.  Essentially the populism has gone - I want to integrate more.  So instead of eating food that's "beyond the bounds" I want to make the food people relate to really well.

Also I'm a bit unsure about the orange because of my obsession with Northern Ireland.  Perhaps I'll swap it for yellow.  Yellow is liberalism too.  Orange is liberalism but it's also, well, Orange.

I've watched a fair few PJW videos and really it's not serious to me.  It's all a bit Breitbart.  I want serious analysis.  I want to think.  UKIP is really old.  I didn't join For Britain, as I felt they were too extreme and they wouldn't want me anyway.  So I'm unaligned.  I don't plan to join a political party - it paints a target on your back.

Tequila, what happened? I hope they haven't taken away your computer setup in psych ward.

As you can tell, I'm still here.  I'm happy to do a Q&A if anyone would like to do one.

I gather from your "text/typing style" that you do not live near where coffee beans are grown.

If you were to narrow down a few favorites, from where would you import your favorites beans?

[Tequila]

I don't know enough about coffee to honestly say.  I haven't got my espresso machine yet.  When I do, I'll be right round the coffee forums, all up in their stuff.

OK, I had assumed from a previous post that you had become a kind of aficionado.

I might suggest that until you can afford to get yourself the espresso machine you crave, that you try one of those French presses and some fresh exotic beans of your pleasure. THEN, experiment! Maybe try your hand at blending various exotics.
 

You will also need a proper burr type mill. I would avoid the blade style. Those are sort of inconsistent.

I'm in the psych ward.  Financing the machine won't be a problem.  I can spare a couple of hundred quid for the machine.

As for the French press: I'm speechless.  We left the EU so people wouldn't make suggestions like that.  You might as well tell me to go the whole hog and get one of those coffee bowls like in Betty Blue.

It is only a commercial name, pal. The French seem to take credit for every culinary advance worth noting. The device has early Persian origins. Makes great coffee!
I have little regard for the French, TBH.

I have a French Press for my Jetboil camping stove. I can have fresh brewed coffee in 5 minutes anywhere on planet earth!!

I got a bit snarky because we really don't have these here.  Having one of these in the kitchen would make people think you were actually a europhile or foreign - they are common in France, not here.

You're having a long stay in the psych ward. Why are you still there?

Politics.  Not my politics, but politics.  It's a legacy of the past.  I'll be out October and then you'll be sorry.
