Cappuccino City

I use Google Alerts like some Batman-esque early warning system, any and every time a news article or blog post mentions the words "Coffee" AND/OR "Espresso" AND "Belfast" AND/OR "Northern Ireland" I get an email sent my way. It not a perfect system, but it does allow me to find random or obscure articles that I would not have found ordinarily. A side effect is that I tend to trigger my own alerts, the sentence above will make sure of that, I also get a lot from Phil :-)

This morning's Alert brought me an interesting article, from Trifter with this hilarious quote:

"I suppose we are taking our place among the sophisticated places of the world much in the same way that a ten year old girl tries out her mother's make-up. Refinement comes with age and experience, and at this stage we still have lipstick smeared from ear to ear."
