Hey Sire,

Did you know that drinking coffee was once considered a punishable offense by some Middle Age societies?

One of the punishments was being sewn into a leather bag and "beaten soundly with stout staffs and thrown into the forest for a few days."

I love coffee and I consider what some of the ancients went through to get this stuff to us to be heroic and sometimes remarkably funny! : )

I'll see if I can find some more of the funnier ones online ( I've somehow missplaced my book on the subject and am having a coffee-fit, trying to find the darn thing.)

Yeah, my favourite is capuccino, bit a good short black goes down just as well. Sometimes a nip of good scoth in a cup is pretty good too.

Hi Sire,
Johnnie Walker welcomes members Worldwide. They have a Striding Man Society in every country that I can think of- when you go to sign up you will see a drop down list of the countries. Aussie Land is on there, too : ) !( Membership is totally free in case you were wondering)

Hey Admin,

Both substances are multi billion dollar industries that sprang out of horrible beginnings and have become the central engine that drives many nations's economies.

Don't feel bad about mentioning coffee and then alcohol in the same thread, they have been loving handmaidens for centuries!

I consider my "morning after" 60 ounces of strong black coffee a sacred rite, especially after some of my extended "tastings" of "magickal blendings" the night before : )!

Although I enjoy teas, they don't seem to be able to blast me back to attention the way that coffee does!

Hope you enjoy The Striding Man Society, if Johnnie Walker and Diagio Brands continue with their personable " bring it to the people" style of marketing- you are in for some great times :) !
