This is a real nice topic for the Bar. Discussing how people just p**s away their money drinking lattees, while drinking beer yourself  "The Rise of Coffee Shaming Personal-finance gurus really hate coffee. Suze Orman wants young people to stop “peeing” away millions of dollars on coffee. Last month, the personal-finance celebrity ignited a controversy on social media when a video she starred in for CNBC targeted a familiar villain: kids these days and their silly $5 lattes. Because brewing coffee at home is less expensive, Orman argued, purchasing it elsewhere is tantamount to flushing money away, which makes it a worthy symbol of Millennials’ squandered resources." www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2019/07/coffee-financial-advice/594244/ |

Libertydefenders, an interesting 'news' site. Very interesting is this at the bottom of their home page "Dear supporters, Please contact us on libertydefenders@ englandmail.com to get involved. Thanks in advance for your consideration." www.libertydefenders.orgTypically 'British' I guess  Actually more like copied from America it looks like. There we have "Returning the Bible & Wisdom principles to our public school children under our 1st Amendment rights. HISWAYS™ USA, Inc. Since you have tried it every other way; why not re-try it His way?" hisways.org/liberty/LibertyDefenders.PDFPS the Corbyn's wife deals in coffee bit first came up in August 2015 it would seem. Since the right leading press seems to rehash things every one or two years without giving any new 'evidence'. Not that there was much evidence anyway. Now checking if Aaron Banks (or his papers and other friends) has voiced to be appalled by such profiteers. |

I was in the office in U Chu Liang opposite Lumpini park this afternoon. Nescaffee brand machines there. Walking downstairs to buy somethings I noticed a few 'youngish' foreigners hammering away. Not all of them moved to VN I guess  |

The Starbucks on Beach Rd (cor Soi Yamato) has a nice patio on the first floor. Views of palm trees and prostitutes, not crowded, pleasant shaded place to pass an hour.
