Timmy Ho's? You're not secretly Canadian, are you? Mind you, I am, and I hate their coffee lol.
I do like that there's a Starbucks here under the TV Tower (built by the communist regime) and a Starbucks right by Brandenburg Gate (which was around "death strip" territory, on the wrong side), just because such blatant capitalism is a spit in the face of the former communist regime. A lot of East Germans love the American chains, and American food in general, and especially did after the Wall, for similar reasons. It represented something they weren't allowed to have.Last edited by DanieMarie; 01 Sep 2012, 10:20.Comment

I lived in BC for a few years tho. Interesting spot.
Id say Timmy Hos is on par with starbucks coffee wise not great quality but trendy. Tho I do miss Tim Bits and maple glaze donuts filled with custard...*homer drool*. I perfer their corporate strategy too, they appear local while being global. They source their ingredients locally too and while globalisation brings more diversity to the table its better health wise to eat produce from your local environment. For example if you get heyfever your local honey will help you build an immunity to it in a way that super healthy manuka honey from NewZealand cant. Im sure thats not a consideration in the corp strat but its a good side effect.Comment

Re: THE RANT THREAD!
lol I do buy honey that's made from beehives on rooftops and empty lots in Berlin. Most of it is from linden blooms (they line the trees here). So...good to know!
I like Starbucks a little better than Timmy Hos to be honest. It's just stronger, and Timmy Ho's coffee is too weak for my taste. I do well here in Germany...it's an entire country of people who like coffee roasted and brewed to the exact same strength as I do! I swear, Germany and Austria are underrated as coffee cultures. Italy gets all the cred, but our coffee is better :PComment

Re: THE RANT THREAD!
Yeah? Im surprised to hear that but then Ive never had coffee in Germany... I only head for the festivals and when Im off in Bremen all I see anywhere is Becks, Becks, Becks, Becks and Deisel. So I dont hang around drinking when Im there. Deisel nearly made me a tea totaller (that and the 3 days straight of drinking jager in the sun and eating various half cooked worst of the wurst).
Timmy Ho's Coffee is pretty weak Id agree there Starbucks atleast rotates the beans they use but still it takes a double shot to make it taste like coffee and not a milk from a cow fed on cigarette butts instead.Comment

Re: THE RANT THREAD!
Or you can do what I do and order the ones that are full of syrup, so you can't taste their coffee, which tastes like it's burnt.
I like my coffee on the stronger side, but medium roasts. I feel like when it's too dark of a roast, the flavour starts to go. That's why I hate french roast coffee (unfortunately, for this reason, I have yet to enjoy coffee in France). Germans also prefer medium roast, as do the Austrians. If there is any city in the world that I'd say has the best coffee, it would have to be Vienna. A Viennese milchkaffee (cafe au lait) with a croissant (an Austrian invention, believe it or not) or some apple strudel is amazing!Comment

Re: THE RANT THREAD!
Hey, photographer bitch, just because I'm ugly doesn't mean you get to shove me out of the FAMILY wedding photo. Not only does that hurt but it kinda exacerbates the feeling that I'm not a member of the family.my etsy store

I'm not entirely sure there is an appropriate reaction to that move. Well, short of firing the photographer and having one of the guests take photos. A modicum of professionalism is sort of expected.

Re: THE RANT THREAD!
My brother was having all sorts of issues with folks at that wedding. The preacher stormed out because my brother, trying to be a good husband, wouldn't let the pastor walk all over my SIL because they wanted to read their own vows. Seriously, the nerve of some "professionals".

Re: THE RANT THREAD!
Can't really comment on relations, well unless you want me to track down 40k vids, but the vow issue should've been settled long ago and the preacher either accepting or replaced. The last two weddings I've seen, one Catholic, the other civil, had every aspect of the ceremony planned well in advance. Idiocy this late from the preacher is inexcusable.Life itself was a lightsaber in his hands; even in the face of treachery and death and hopes gone cold, he burned like a candle in the darkness.

Re: THE RANT THREAD!
Unless you used someone else's photo on facebook, you aint ugly girl!! I mean AT ALL!! Must have been some other reason for this odd behaviour. Even if you were ugly, what would the photographer do if the bride was a bulldog?Originally posted by Caelia View Post

She has chewed the pages of my textbooks, crawled into the space between the cover and sleeve: attacking my hands as I write, and she literally pulls the pen out of my hand... Even as I type this, she's attacking the charms on my phone.. sigh.夕方に急なにわか雨は｢夕立」と呼ばれるなら、なぜ朝ににわか雨は｢朝立ち」と呼ばれないの？ ＾＾If a sudden rain shower in the evening is referred to as an 'evening stand', then why isn't a shower in the morning called 'morning stand'?Comment

Re: THE RANT THREAD!
If someone owes me money, and they promise it by a certain date, is it not THEIR responsibility to tell me if it's going to be late? Do they have the right to get mad at me for asking about it a week past the due date? WTF is this, the National Bank of Hawkfeathers?sigpic
