How I have become disgraced.
I’m afraid it’s happened. The worse side of the world has taken it’s toll, even I have succumbed to a greater evil. The forces of a great and terrible darkness have overcome me.
I have become an habitual teabag user.
I know, it’s terrible, really terrible. I suppose this revelation will make some of you lose faith with me entirely, probably entirely for some of you. I feel somewhat a little less correct for this fact, a little less in the area of correct British culture. The convenience culture is slowly eroding into my life bit by bit.
It’s no good, I’ll have to make myself a good pot of tea using a good leaf blend (probably Yorkshire) and drink it in defiece of teabags and convenience foods.
Yours, Robert.

I think it’s a good idea to get back to good habits. I don’t think it’s a bad thing to use teabags considering some people drink soda and juice all day like me. Quality is always important, especially when it’s about your own health. Going back to drinking a good cup of tea should be a requirement in everyone’s life.

See, the thing is that I used to drink only good leaf tea, bags are a moral come down for me! :p

Convenience is a fact of a modern lifestyle, and it’s something that we’ve all succumbed to in one form or another, but it is also something that we need to rectify little by little, to make life more enjoyable, and to live things more for today than to keep living it for tomorrow (as is the case for most these days)

I’ve done the ritual of drinking a full pot of leaf tea. This makes up for a month of bags while I’m in the states, my soul will be clean.
It’s strange but I don’t have the time or mental capacity to explain to a customs official what leaf tea is and why people drink it, nor what a tea strainer is or a tea pot with a filter. I have nothing against custom’s officials, they do an important job. It’s just like trying to explain anything to anyone officious, some of our brave boys in blue (not the Brazilian footballers, the police) are afflicted with the same slight problem. Try explaining to a policeman why you were climbing through a window, even of your own property.
Kind regards, Robert.

I think that you really can judge people by the way they comment different stuff. Some people, even expressing negative thoughts, are still polite and they respect and understand other people. Some people are not even trying to be nice, they just don’t care. I think self-confident person will always act nice, no matter what other people do
