Standing in the supermarket in front of the tea section I am overwhelmed with all these different blends and flavors a consumer can choose from. Bubblegum flavor? If I'd wanted the taste of bubblegum in my mouth I'd chew some bubblegum, now would I? Cinnamon tea, tea with chocolate bits in it, herbal teas with magical healing powers. Magical?
Let's see what else we got... Tea with fruit: strawberry, cherry, tropical fruits. Tea with flowers, jasmine, roses, lavender. Tea with colors: green, black, white. Tea with fancy names: Caribbean Cream, Lemon Drop, Princess Dream. Mint tea is nice. Just boil water and put a mint leaf in it. Basically, that's not even a tea! Just plain hot water with a mint leaf in it. So the correct name should be "Mint Water". I'd like the normal British blend. Plain and simple. My favorite brands and flavors are: Twinings Earl Grey - Harrods Ceylon Afternoon No.16 - Harrods English Breakfast Blend No.14 - Pickwick Rooibos Honey
English tea. The English. With their dark British humor and their sarcasm. The beautiful moors in the North. Novels and literature. The Celtic myths and tales. Whiskey. Bed & Breakfast. Music. There is just something alluring to them. I find. Oh, what can I say. I am highly attracted to the British. I'd really need to get meself a nice English bloke! One who gives me chocolate Hobnobs, takes me out on a stroll in the park, buys me one pound knick-knacks, makes me laugh, shags me and who introduces me to his friends saying: "Look at my bird, ain't she fit!".
For now I just have to do with day dreaming and watching them on telly. I've just spent a significant amount of time watching Jimmy Carr & David Mitchell videos on You Tube. British stars take no shame in self-depreciating humor!
Let me just say, that I wanna bang all of the following names: (yes, even the gays 'cause I like bumming!)
The epic comic lover Jonathan Ross with his dinky lisp, the flamboyant sexy scarecrow Russell Brand and his diabolical pal Noel Fielding who has the sharpest timing and darkest flair around him. The achingly lovely and sweet Simon Amstel. The sexual delicious Gerard Butler (seriously, this is how a man should look!) and his Scottish companions in misfortune James McAvoy and Doctor David Tennant . The Beautiful queers Graham Norton & Julian Clary . The vain Jimmy Carr with his silly laugh, cockney comedian Michael McIntyre , the crazy balding hippy with a beard Bill Bailey who is part troll and the strangely bizarre Phil Jupitus who finds every quiz he is on hellish, the absolute master at rants David Mitchell and his tasteful Sausage Roll Rant! . The weirdly obsessive David Walliams . The Welsh fairy Rob Brydon - The "Sigh-Off" by Martin Freeman & Mathew Horne . Lee Mack with the hottest accent in the whole wide world! The pervert and wannabe rock star Tim Minchin . The always drunk looking but charming Dylan Moran . The handsome Jeremy Clarkson , stunning Richard Hammond and adorable James May who has a great flirting technique! - Alan Rickman who rocks me to sleep with his deep voice. The awesome natural talent Russell Howard who talks on and on and on. The cutest boy ever Jack Whitehall (who I seriously want as my boyfriend). Sexy Si from the Hairy Bikers and last but not least mister Steven Mangan from the Green Wing .
Females I crush on too! Jennifer Saunders is just a classic and eccentric figure. Miranda Hart is a worthy successor. Jo Brand I love for her nasal voice and slow comments. Catherine Tate I couldn't be more bovvered about. Billie Piper I want to have as my darling girlfriend. With Heidi from the Sugababes & Nadine from Girls Aloud I want a threesome. Who doesn't, ey! KT Tunstall is a legend and Minnie Driver is simply an angel.
List of my favorite British programs: The Mighty Boosh - Nevermind The Buzzcocks - Dr Who - Friday Night with Jonathan Ross - The Graham Norton Show - Big Fat Quiz of the Year - Live at the Apollo - Top Gear - Would I Lie To You? - QI - Mock The Week
