1 not your choice of coffee?!
2 try pre menstrual stress
3 agree not so much a joke as true

Ah STRESS, I was thinking tension.

Coffee wise, our choice offering at Nav school was standard or decafe, mikk full fat, semi skimmed, black or whitener, sugar white, brown, none or sweetener. Once the cafés went all foreign I simply got lost.

Was at a cafe on holiday, beautiful coffee menu black board. Each variety was drawn as a cup with the different proportions of coffee, milk, froth all shown - perfect.

PMS - Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a condition that affects a woman's emotions, physical health, and behavior during certain days of the menstrual cycle, generally just before her menses. PMS is a very common condition. Its symptoms affect more than 90 percent of menstruating women.

Well, I'll be! Like PN I thought it was something that happened on Wednesdays in the House of Commons.

Thanks G-CPTN - but just don't mention it...

Coffee ? I was introduced to coffee by waitresses bearing a carafe taken from a permanently Online ( different meaning then ) dispenser near the front entrance of any USA coffee shop in the late '50's and '60's. Graduated to Instant Coffee carried in a small jar in my briefcase, suitable for adding to hot water heated by the "dipstick" carried by crew to boil water in any available bathroom glass. Not able to carry milk, and why bother with sugar? Not altered my taste, can't be bothered with your Lattes, Flat Whites etc. and eventually educate so called "Baristers" to produce an " Americano ". i.e. single shot with extra water. Perfect. You can keep the rest of the crap.

Graduated to pouring a second lot of water through the drip filter first used by Mrs. ExS. Being of USA origin she uses three times as much freshly ground coffee beans as I consider necessary, so a second go is perfect for me. At least I have abandoned the Instant !

Kill bodger instead?

Opsboi: Please tell me that piccy is digitally altered! Could anyone really be that stupid????

Parents today would probably be arrested for child endangerment if they were caught letting their little darlings loose on something like this or the other devices on the playgrounds of the schools in our day, see-saws, giant bar, etc.
Helmets, safety harnesses, thick foam padding, etc. would be required if even allowed today.

Me too!

Ahem. Confession. I tend to observe curvilicious young ladies when I'm on holiday and wearing sunglasses. I then get home and continue to ogle when I'm NOT wearing sunglasses. Dirty old git.
