Decaf sucks

[Calum]

I realised i was drinking a lot of coffee recently so i am rationing myself to one cup of coffee a day (reason being, it causes premature arthritis, and i don't want that, what with being a musician and all that). This doesn't include decaf though, so i just went over to the machine today for my first try at the decaf.

BLEEAAUUAUAURRRUAURRRRGGGGGHHUGH!!!!!!

decaf just sucks, sorry.

what am i going to do! looks like i will be stuck drinking hot chocolate from now on!    (and that'll just make me FAT!)

try a lil bit of cocaine to replace that cofffee.... just j/k.
You should try to keep yourself down to 1 cup though.
I dont drink anything with caffeine in it most of the time anyway, although i used to drink a lot of coke and stuff. I gave it up because of my being a national level target shooter and need to be as calm as possible(heartbeats are a bitch) and caffiene will make your blood pump faster and dialate your blood vessels.

a certain type?

and what do you mean there - one cup of cocaine?

one cup (of coffee) a day is okay, if you drink it up fast, as it has a lot of antioxidants in it, until they evaporate in the steam...

being a national level target shooter and need to be as calm as possible(heartbeats are a bitch) and caffiene will make your blood pump faster and dialate your blood vessels.... that is why i drink as little caffeine as possible.

ah, i forgot you were another Eric Burdon in the making...

Well... at my "special school program"(no im not retarted or deliquent, cuz then I would be too stupid to install Linux   ) you pay a small amount(say 50 cents if you tend to drink 2 cups a day) each week for coffee, cream, and sugar. How is that for a price? That is 10 mugs of coffee for... 50 cents! That's a good deal eh? Well the problem is, it tastes good, so I drink 2 cups a day just because I can, and if I was at home I would almost never make the stuff.

Hey Calum,

I used to be a coffee fiend to keep me up late night. The stuff is vile, allways gave me digestive problems (read: the runs). I switched to tea, a strong brew keeps me up just fine and I have yet to experience any side effects.

Just a thought  

[Calum]

i do like tea as well, but i prefer tea at home, and coffee at work... just me i suppose. i'll just have to get used to decaf...

i drink coffee to keep me awak sometimes at night... the stuff is horrible. I do like tea though, especially earl grey.
As for me being 'trained' not to drink coffee, well at a major competition in the winter (junior games) me and another guy drank about 25 cups of coffee to keep us awake all night.

MOR, as a target shooter, what caliber and gun do you prefer for under 1000Meters accuracy?(assuming target shooting is under that range)

[Master of Reality]

i dont shoot at 1Km distances.
I shoot .22 for 50-100 metres (the range i shoot at is 100m)

Hey Calum,

Where did you learn that Coffee leads to Premature Athritus, do you have and article to link to. I loath the stuff, and it would be another weapon against those fiends who make my house stink with that revolting smelling and tasting gunk.

[Calum]

to be honest i cannot remember where i heard it, i just heard last year sometime, it had been the result of some study into arthritis, stfw and maybe you'll find it, and if you do, please let me know too, thanks!  

[lazygamer]

Don't put me around coffee and I don't drink it.
