TEA-na t-URN-er

Ok, so an actual blog, not some uninteresting collage of famous brothers followed by a slight slag off of some inoffensive doopy doopy boppy pop music (song number 4 atm - 'That's just the way we roll'. In which they inform their faithful listeners of their crazy rock and roll lifestyle, {He woke up on his roof with his brothers woop. And there's a whale in his pool with his mother. Woop.} by way of the classic 'shit intro, shit verse, shit chorus, shit verse, shit chorus, shit epic bridge, shit chorus, shit chorus, shit outro' form. But my, aren't they cute?).

So, we all us 3, plus many more, had a day oot to the cinematics the other day for a 3D blasting of AVATAR.




Which was fantakka. I know everyone's saying it and buzz buzz, but it really felt like a new step in cinema. I felt emotions i thought unfeelable towards bluey, elongated, fluorescent humanoids.

Tea house wise, we are trying to get all terms nailed and agreed on for the premises. But it will be a LOT longer before we get going. We kind of wanted to be in around the end of November, but nooooo, April it will be probably. We are disappointed, but not livid. It all takes a long time, especially when agents are acting on behalf of people. So getting one simple question answered goes a little like this-

Q = question
A = answer

Q1 from us to agent. Q1 from agent to landlord. A1 from landlord to agent. A1 from agent to us. A1 is unclear, meaning Q2 is created. Q2 from us to agent. Q2 from agent to landlord. A2 from landlord to agent. A2 from agent to us. Aaahh, that explains A1, but also creates Q3. Meanwhile the landlord has created Q3 also, and both the Q3s hit the agent at the same time. Meaning the 2 Q3s and the subsequent A3s all splurge together to create an amalgamation of Qs, As, long words, ignorance and frustration that is unfathomable to any party.

And repeat.

It would be so lovely to just sit down with the represented and have a brew, make him see we are not rent dodging, house burner downers. But not in this world of distrust.

Web shop update. It is in the making. We got the first screen shots back from our wonderful friend who is donating his spare time to our cause. And it is looking sexy. If you're that way inclined. I estimate about 2 weeks, and you will be able to purchase away.

'Til then, you can purchase a selection of our teas from Mickley Garden centre, and hopefully 2 or 3 more places in and around Newcastle by the time we have got some new teas in. We will get some new teas in when we have tried the new samples, which are winging their way here AS WE SPEAK! Unless they are stuck in snow.

When the samples do arrive we will be having a bit of a tasting sesh. So please drop us an email if you want to come around to our ken, sip some teas, give your opinions and generally have a bit of FUN.

I had one more thing to say, but i cant for the life of me remember what it was. Maybe tomorrow when my brain is fresh and tingly.

Good night everybody.


P.S the title of this post was Chubs' first attempt at the tea house name, many moons ago. I am unsure as to why it was discarded.
