Whats the first drink on arrival at LM

[Nobby Diesel]

Not all tea is 'nice'.
I pride myself on making truly awful tea. This way, I am rarely asked to make the tea again. I can then enjoy a nice cup of tea that someone else made.

A nice pint of lager more like, that I can understand (unless it's Carling of course then it's more like a nice pint of weasel piss) but tea ,no, I never got the hang of drinking that stuff nice or not.

My first drink is always a nice cup of tea.

One of life's mysteries this. Why is it always "a nice cup of tea"? On tv in the media and even on this thread it is always a nice cup of tea, never just a cup of tea or a bog standard cup of tea.Or are all cups of tea nice?,I don't know, I never touch the stuff

Bob I think it's one of those euphamisms for which the English language is rightly famous. It's a bit like having a "jolly good laugh" or a "good w**k". It's difficult to imagine a good laugh being anything less than jolly. I mean, who ever heard of a "rotten miserable laugh"? Or a bad w**k?
