miranda said... So so so funny. Especailly when I imagine your reactions to this clip! I imagine that you would have been rolling around on the floor gasping for air at the poor boys expense. And I could be wrong, but I reckon that when your mind wanders across this thought every once in a while, it still brings a sly smile to your face!
good to see there is laughter after ug-jeans!!!

Tim said... Someone called 'bavarian creme' has posted on your Tim's blog. I just wanted you to know so that you can challenge Tim's other girl/boyfriend (who I can only presume bavarian is given the tone of his/her comments)to some kind of duel. Your honour is at steak.
Is that guy thick or what! PS. If someone doesn't tell me who anonymous is I'm gonna go 'anon' myself...! Go the steak Tim you poor thing, use your imagination while chewing...maybe.. what do you do Miranda?:)!
Anonymous...different people use that name...including my friend Loreli's boyfriend, Devon. She's in the pic with me at the banquet (below). They both work at Starbucks. Noone took him up to his challenge however (see post below with approx 22 comments). Lucky for him (and I), 'Tom Joad' doesn't frequent this site.
By the way, the 'Tim' above (I moved the comments) as I deleted the initial post that didn't work out) is my Tim's (de Vries) good mate Tim (Hart). Sorry about the confusion!
Starbucks coffee has been accused by Oxfam International of opposing the Ethiopian Government's application to trademark Ethiopia's 3 most established coffees. The trademark was refused in the US, despite its acceptance in Canada and European countries.
Starbucks has argued that the trademark would actually be BAD, because it would price Ethiopian farmers out of the market, (not, of course, because the farmers increasing their 5%-10% share of the gross profit of their exports would mean a reduced profit for Starbucks.)
Funnily enough, Starbucks stands for quality and insists it will only sell the best beans to the fortunate consumer, namely Ethiopian coffee. So you'd think that if the price goes up, Starbucks would happily oblige.
But no, you'd be wrong, its much better when Starbucks makes a profit equivalent to over half Ethiopia's GDP. That's much better for everyone. Fair trade my ass.
