I want to talk about coffee.
Elizzybeth:
Coffee thread, you've made me realize that stovetop espresso machines and handheld milk-frothing devices are relatively inexpensive. I was sure that espresso at home was beyond my limited means!
You will pay for this! :x
(I mean I. I will pay for this. And then hopefully enjoy delicious espresso at home for significantly less per cup than espresso bars charge.)

The fact that Jeremy Clarkson is occasionally amusing isn't an argument against the fact that he's a bastard. You will quickly realise this if you round out your view of Jeremy Clarkson by reading his newspaper columns, as well as just watching Top Gear and QI. There's a fine line that divides being controversial from simply tasteless, and a fine line that divides being interesting from being a boorish, tendentious arsehole, and Clarkson is more often on the bad sides of these lines than the good sides. Most of it comes down to his monstrous tory arrogance and the way he carries it off. I think it's fair enough to guess that Ozy made the Clarkson comparison as a snide way of decrying my fairly undemanding taste in coffee as priggish, boorish, unreconstructed, reactionary, middle class, witless, ugly and distasteful to civilized man. Which would indicate that socioculturally, drinking coffee which takes longer to prepare and is more expensive is judged as a sign of sophistication, which casts us back to a rather baroque view of taste, don't you think?
Nodaisho:
If I hated people because I disagreed with them politically on some points, I wouldn't have time to do anything else.
And I find it funny you mention the line between controversial and tasteless, after making a joke about punching nuns before going to vote for Hitler. And being a fan of Anal Cunt.
KharBevNor:
Have you ever heard about context?
Also, Clarkson's problems have little to do with his politics, although his attitude to things like women and the environment are pretty distasteful to most people with a conscience.
