BBC - h2g2 - Ways to Make Good Coffee (#)
„This destroys the flavour. At most you should keep your coffee hot in this manner for just five minutes.Should your electric machine ever break down (or should you find yourself just looking to try something new and exciting), why not just set the filter holder on top of a conventional jug, like a Thermos? Then pour the boiling water on the grounds manually. Wetting the grounds first, using only a little water, waiting a minute or so and then pouring in the rest of the water as quickly as possible can give tasty results.“

BBC - h2g2 - Giving up Smoking
„Find a way to motivate yourself, and do everything you can to keep them away from you - and you from them. I got tired of that nasty, chemical taste - after all, if they really tasted as good as dedicated smokers say, there would be cigarette flavored ice cream, chewing gum, and coffee creamer. I had three left in a pack on a Wednesday morning, and I held off all day, until shortly before I went to sleep. Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday night, I smoked one cigarette at bedtime, as many people they had difficulty sleeping when they quit.“

BBC - h2g2 - Advertising - U29187
„There are many theories as to why ads are placed in the most obtrusive locations of the communication flow.One theory states that ads, by surprising the viewer at unpredictable moments, catch them with their mental guards down, allowing the ad message easier passage into the viewer's mind and increasing the effectiveness of the advertising message.Another theory says that by cunningly placing ads right after a surprising revelation or some other occurance that raises a viewer's sense of anticipation, the advertising message will catch the viewer paying more attention, thereby increasing the effectiveness of the advertising message.A third theory, more cynical than the other two, points out that, as often as not, the ads are more interesting than the communication flow, and the viewer deserves a reward for making it that far. Because people, in general, usually like rewards, the ad evokes a good feeling in the viewer, and this good feeling gets associated with the product in the advertisement.It has been said that the only difference between a simple sign with the name of a product on it and a full blown print ad campaign is $20M, six months of client meetings, three weeks of allnighters, fourteen gallons of half-double-mocca-decaf, several cases of cigarettes, and too many out of control egos.It should also be noted that the best ads never actually make it to production because they are so clever as to ultimately make someone along the approval chain 1) jealous because they didn't think of the idea or 2) nervous because the idea is really that mind-boggling good. “

„However, as they expanded they stopped providing it for the general public - they only made it for places like Pickwicks, and then they phased it out altogether. The proprietor of Pickwicks asked one of the tasters at Whittards if he could have the blend, and was given it, because the taster was pleased at the idea of one of Mr Whittard's original blends still being sold. Pickwicks is the only place you can get this and it's a blend of Rosepetal, Gunpowder, Jasmine, Ceylon, Lapsang and Oomjong. It tastes sort of smokey.Pickwicks Tea & Coffee House and Merchants 82 Church Street Tewkesbury UKAs well as letting you try their teas, they also let you buy them.“
