What are you talking about with milk? Are you refering to the type of curdled sweat released by certain deformed glands in most of the mamals? Unlike water, which is disgusting stuff itself and killed my grandfather, milk isn't even fit for washing in.

However sorry i feel for the poor mindless genetically warped tits on legs that hold me up on my way to work mornings as they trudge from wet barn to wet field via machines i wouldn't want anywhere near my dangly bits, soya milk tastes like crap, particularly in tea.

Anyway i drink fruit tea cos i can't take the caffeine.

it's a slippery slope, I've seen what that stuff does to people.

It's not the smack I'm worried about though - caffeine, as a stimulant, is probably more like coke. One cup of coffee now, and before long I'll be wearing a shiny suit and trying to sell people shares and flats in Knightsbridge.

I think the ugliest piece of coloured vinyl I own is see-through dark red with flecks/blobs of green (also translucent) splattered through it - Man Is The Bastard/Pink Turds In Space split 7". Really it is only matched in unpleasentness by those coloured vinyls I have seen marketted as "shit brown"...

I'd like to propose that an effort is funded to find the man or woman who found the Glory of That Which Is Milk, and we give them every bloody medal we can.

I also propose a Center for Milk Research be founded, in which scientists and chefs shall work side by side, perfecting and discovering more milk-related items.
