The Sifter

You might say that coffee is another hobby of mine (I've got semi-commercial machines at both home and work [Wega Mininova & Faema Compact]) so I was amused to stumble across a site purporting to be the "New Zealand Coffee Review"

It's very Christchurch heavy, but there are a smattering of Wellington reviews. My fav: the dissing of Fuel at the airport by the 'Coffee Monster', who I think should stick to his Robert Harris ;-)

A guy gets arrested for singing along to the 'wrong' song in a taxi ride to the airport...

Full story at Reuters.

Remind me not to wear my "I have issues" tshirt next time I fly ;-)

A 5-min video courtesy of Google Video, where "Jeanne Benedict shares a little Martini history and then shows 3 vintage cocktail shakers and tells how much she paid for them."

Pure cheese, but the shakers are cool.

There are sifters, there are soap-dodgers, and then there are munters.

Here's a tale of an ultimate munter - the guy downed an estimated 40,000 ecstacy pills during the world's worst bender.

I thought this was an April Fool's post at first - but the medical journal referred to checks out.
