    Cat Dung Coffee a hit in London

    Yet more proof that every yuppie in London is a c**t.

    EDIT Age-old argument between cakes and biscuits set to cost UK taxman Ł3.5million

    There is something quintessentially British about arguing whether something is a cake or a biscuit, the classic example being Jaffa Cakes, an argument that ludicrously went to a UK court. The thing is, in the UK, biscuits are taxed, whereas cake are not, so not only are cake and biscuit labels for a product, they are also legal definitions. I love stuff like this that makes Britain so...British. I doubt there's another country in the world that is so particular about tea-time snacks. If biscuits and cakes were not so intrinsically fused in with the custom of tea-time, one of the everyday occasions Britons hold most dear, I doubt it'd make much difference.

    Anyway, now a particular brand of cakes has been mistakenly labelled as biscuits for 20 years, thus the UK has been wrongfully earning 20 years worth of tax on these cakes, and is now being forced to pay it back.

    You people are well crazy. That cat thing, I'm sure some jaffas in Auckland would pay for that coffee. I just find coffee so pretentious the way some people act. Instant coffee is so horrible and blah blah blah. I feel the same way about wine, which has just been crazy in the last 10 years with every piece of shit wannabe having an opinion oh how well the wine they drink is and how cheap wine is like so pathetic. It makes me sick. And now New Zealand has this craze over buying the right virgin olive oil and growing olive trees etc. People say its a cultural thing I just find it all pretentious crap.

    Taxed on cakes and not biscuits I take it you mean? British people are well weird sometimes. But New Zealand has just become a pretentious bunch of people.
