I'm definitely the wrong person to ask, lol. I don't get an energy buzz from sugar and I don't get it from caffeine, either. Coffee, back when I used to drink it, was always quite soothing for me. Same with hot chocolate even though there is a small amount of caffeine in it. People used to drink hot chocolate as a 'before bed' drink but that probably had more to do with the milk. Hot milk before bed helps with sleep. And the caffeine content in hot chocolate is really small compared to coffee.

I want to spend a bit of time with some of my crystals and I want to go to bed at a sensible time. For once, lol. :D

Interesting. That doesn't happen very often. But you can drink coffee anytime you want)))))
 
Cappuccino drives me screwy so i leave it alone. Things start to jump if i go near it. Coffee keeps me awake :ROFLMAO:

Used to be able to. Haven't drunk coffee for at least 25 years. I was never a big lover. Mostly it was a social thing. But, yeah, I could drink it before bed and it wouldn't affect my sleep at all. Drinking coffee definitely had a soothing effect on me. Whether it would do that now, I couldn't say. I never drank black coffee, ever. I always drank it quite milky so that might be relevant. I never met anyone else that had this reaction to coffee.
 
For some reason, it's a pretty popular coffee. Is it the crema? It takes on too much) it steals the flavor of the coffee. And now a scary confession. I drink my coffee with milk.)
 
Well, @Fuzball has right buggered off, hasn't he? Here's a photo of Turkish coffee. Cute little cup.

It's funny. I was never a person who loved coffee so I'm not a purist. Coffee with milk is fine by me. But Americans put cream in their coffee which is weird, imo. I'm sure, to an Italian, me putting in loads of milk is just as bad. But cream is a step too far, lol.

As for the flavour, I'm very happy for that to be diluted.
 
I wanted to share. We have on TV recently launched a show where participants reincarnate into their idols, I know there are such everywhere. But the best part was that Michael was on the poster in the commercial for this show)))). I was happy about that.

I don't watch tv so this isn't something I know anything about. @wendijane - do we have this in the UK? I probably last watched BGT when Susan Boyle was on it or Diversity. And this doesn't sound like a talent show. Can you give me a clue? Popular culture is not my thing, lol.

"Turkish coffee is a big part of the culture in Turkey and it’s a custom they hold dear. The country’s so enamoured with the beverage that the Turkish word for breakfast ‘kahvalti’, literally means ‘before coffee’, and the word for brown ‘kahverengi’ means coffee coloured."

The poster features just three idols Marilyn Monroe, Freddie Mercury and Michael as Billie Jean in concert, the era of History or Dangerous is not clear.
I don't watch TV myself, but I happened to see the commercial. The show is called Brighter than the Stars, I don't know if it's called that anywhere else. It looks like the contestants have to perform a song better than the idol))) I think it's a bad idea, especially with Michael. If I see an episode with him, I'll write it down.

I don't think I've heard of anything like this in the UK. I don't watch tv but I usually know what shows are on, if there's a new season of Celebrity Big Brother or whatever. This is not ringing any bells.

Well, quite. I know a lot of people who go on talent shows do cover versions of Michael's songs. But they are performing as themselves, not trying to be a version of Michael.

Yes, but maybe it's a publicity stunt, just for intrigue))))))

Well, there are imitators, they work in his image. For example, in Turkey in one of the hotels there is such a show. I saw a video on YouTube.

Yes. I started to think maybe it wasn't a talent show but more of a tribute show with impersonators doing their act. That would make more sense, I guess.
