    Don’t worry @bram, it is too late for the world to end.

  • Jackie posted a new activity comment 12 years ago

    Too bad @bram. It didn’t and now you’re stuck with bubble tea everywhere ๐Ÿ˜› – Don’t worry you’ve found a safe haven here on Tea Trade.

  • Jackie posted a new activity comment 12 years ago

    Thanks @bram. I agree – good tea and good days sounds like a nice wish for us all.

    tst..tst…@bram, you haven’t started buying yet?

  • That’s a great find @bram thanks for posting. I am highlighting this paragraph from their website:

    It’s late here and I’ve been busy most of the day, this time of the year is my favorite Hope everyone is well, good night to everyone in the US and good morning to @bram @xavier @lahikmajoe and @malenkitea who might be getting up just now.

  • @bram – I’m familiar with the problem, it happens when I tinker with certain files and can confirm the issue. I’ve since rebooted the server and cleaned up some code in one of the files that writes the URLs, I tested it and it seems to be working.

    Can you test and confirm that it is working properly now?

    Interesting article you found there @bram. I’m pushing this up for now but will come back to it shortly. Tax: Starbucks in talks with UK’s Revenue and Customs.ย ย – from BBC News.

    It is but I only knew it because Guillaume Leleu told me about it and the blog La Thรฉiรจre Nomade spoke a bit about it.
    But I think it is in the new book about tea in French.

    By the way @bram next time you go to Paris, PM me before.
    If I am available, I might come (I am only 1h30 away from Paris by TGV).

    • bram replied 12 years ago

      I’ll remember that. But I’m not much in Paris. Was there for 2 weeks last year and that was the first time in more than ten years. But I have a feeling that I want to go back to visit all those closed tea shops (it was August)…

    @bram who said the label was fake? What I meant was that some companies believe in organic things but think it should be the “other guys” that should have something printed on their packages.and @tea-author is […]

    I nearly missed this @bram. This is one incredible “bag lady.” 46,000 teabags is a massive collection. The pics are cool – wonder if there are collectors over here too. I must browse there more – I guess some of it will have historic significance too. Thanks for sharing. What a find!

    Excited about this week and getting the family together. Meal planning up next. Anyone got any “never fails to win them over” recipes? @bram @xavier it’s Thanksgiving this Thursday.

    • No thanksgiving at this side of the world ๐Ÿ™‚
      Have not found any never fail recipes yet.

    • Then I thank you. This “thing” is all about giving thanks, isn’t it?

    • Yes, but some would say that its about colonial repression of the Native Americans and colonialist attitudes…

      But I like the part where the whole family gets together and celebrates by having a big, beautiful meal of traditional American foods. It also makes the start of the holiday season in America – once Thanksgiving comes, the whole rest of…[Read more]

  • @bram The prospect of “tea in infinity” makes things look very rosy for Tea Trade.@jopj Thankfully you don’t have to worry about roasting your own leaves since your gas cooker isn’t cooperating. Wait, not sure […]

  • Jackie posted an update 12 years, 1 month ago

    Just a quick thank you to @thedevotea @bram @xavier and @happygaiwan for recently starting new forum topics. Between Robert’s “Third party scorn” to Bram’s “witty” spammers to Xavier’s evil tea drinkers and Chris’ look at women in the tea industry, there’s quite a range. Of course there’s also Pete’s Debt Bondage in the Shrimp and tea industry and…[Read more]

    Yes, your spammers are pretty imaginative @bram. However you could reduce their entertainment value if you close comments on older posts. On his recent blog post @peter mentioned how to fight spam by closing […]

    Usually I say “good morning” to everyone – checking things on here is one of the first things I do at the start of the day. This time I’m going to say “good night.” Just finished writing most of my blog post about member Achievements, ready now for final revision. So, off to bed! See y’all in a few hours time. Hi to @bram @xavier & @lahikmajoe[Read more]

  • Jackie posted an update 12 years, 1 month ago

    Good morning – hope you’re well. I would love you to add forum topics please. Yes, that’s the request of the day. @bram @xavier you’re good “boys” how about you? And everyone else of course. They were just the unlucky ones I chose by name.

    • CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!

      • Thanks @thedevotea – please try again. It’s rare now that we get the “out” messages but can you copy your stuff before hitting “post” just in case? Just in case it’s so incredibly valuable that we don’t want to miss it. I can tell you right now, I don’t want to miss it.

        • It was incredibly valuable. Unfortunately it has been lost forever. Or until I get around to doing it again. Unless you can find it somewhere on the server- it’s title is ” Third Party Tea Scorn”

    • If I can help you ๐Ÿ˜‰

    @bram I’m not sure how Amazon calculates the pages, maybe it has a standard based on word count? In my laptop I counted 32 pages for the book, but it changes depending on how big you make the font in Amazon’s cloud reader.
