The only blog about coffee, Communism, evil cats and, well, everything else that drops into my feverish mind.

Your comments are welcome, but keep them G-rated please. My internet connection has a very strict filter and I’d like to be able to view my own blog. Not to mention that we are all prudes. My mum reads this blog for crying out loud.
If your comment does not appear immediately, this could be because the spamcatcher caught it. If that happens, chill; I check regularly and your comment will be cleared in due course.

My Opinions Are Important: Greatest Hits
- What I Learned From Teen Girl Squad - A silly post that turns deep and meaningful halfway through. A bit like Paris Hilton becoming a life coach.
- Top 5 Science Experiments On Cats - Educational, and more than a little disturbing.
- Today’s burning issue: Women, name tags, placement thereof. - I had to get this off my chest, as it concerned the chests of others.
- Cats are of the DEVIL! - Christians should not own cats due to their evil satanic nature. Kind of goes without saying, really.
- The Atheist Delusion - Time to take on all the atheists of the internet. I get a response from one of them. Better than nothing, I suppose.
- My dad’s underpants - A tale of evil stinky underpants that corrupt all they touch.
- Laughter and romantic false starts - Romantic woe. We’ve all been there. Remind yourself of how silly the opposite sex is.
- Western Australia doesn’t exist - I expose the myth of Western Australia. Despite compelling logic and reasoning, one of my readers is so brainwashed as to think the state actually exists. Hilarity ensues in the comments.
- Another hard day at work - I discuss my former job, in which I did nothing and was well paid for it.
- Satan’s evil henchmen offer 22 percent off - My brother is threatened with a frivolous lawsuit. I unleash both barrels at the offending company.
- The cold shoulder strategy (or: how to repulse a man) - Romantic advice for the ladies from the resident love doctor.
- Five word coffee shop reviews - The quirky idea that became an obsession - reviewing cafes in just five words. Short and sweet.

Hahaahahahaha!!
@ Expresso
If you make bad coffee, it is perfectly legal for someone to say that!!
Good luck with your defamation suit.!!
I have been threatened with exactly the same kind of idotic legal threats and the company never contacted me again after I put up articles all over the internet detailing their legal threats towards me and how they had no basis in any law - of Australia anyway.
Any blogger worth his salt knows the law and my guess is, this blogger knows his salt, as he has blogged quite a bit about the concept of defamation against companies.
My only hope is that this mindless, spineless, brainless attempt at intimidation blows up in your face.

Having just read that post again I can conclusively say the threat is absolutely baseless. He was far more gracious than he could have been (talking about the free wafer, friendly service) and just said the coffee was so bad he wanted to spit it out.
What kind of idiotic world is this where some threatens you with legal action for saying their coffee is bad

Hmmm…how about honest opinion/fair comment…
“Previously referred to as the defence of fair comment, the defence of honest opinion requires you to prove that the material communicated was an expression of honest opinion rather than a statement of fact, on a matter of public interest and was based on proper material. To take advantage of this defence you have to be able to prove three things:
a. the communication must, on the face of it, be comment – that is: an opinion, criticism, deduction, judgment, remark, observation, or conclusion;
b. the facts upon which the opinion is based must be stated unless they are widely known. This is required so that the readers/viewers/listeners are able to form their own views on the facts. These facts have to be known to you when you make the communication. It is very important that the comment is clearly distinguishable from the facts upon which it is based; and
c. the communication has to be on a matter of public interest.
The opinion can be extreme, as long as it is honestly held by the communicator. This means that you have to be very careful in responding to an initial complaint. If you say that you ‘didn’t mean it’ this could subsequently make it very difficult to raise the defence of honest opinion.
The defence of honest opinion is obviously very relevant for reviewers and critics, but it can also be useful for satirists, comedians and other artists whose work incorporates an element of social commentary.”
