chai tea

Chai means tea.

So really we are drinking tea tea?

This annoys me.

Sure I like the taste, and sure I can understand why we made it a latte.

But I hate saying chai tea.

I also hate pin number. What does the n stand for?

Just type in your personal identification number number please sir.

You only need to say it once ma'am.

i think when english speaking people borrow a term from another language it develops its own meaning seperate to the original meaning . . . like the broad french words "champignon" or "legume" become specific when used in an english context . . . english speaking people LOVE changing the meanings of words!

Ooo this is embarrasing... I don't know the proper pronounciation... and my great grandfather was born in Marseille, and I carry on his surname... eeech I can say bread and fish in French though.

i think (and i speak no french at all) it is supposed to sound more like kwa-son . . . the "t" at the end shouldnt be as pronounced as australians make it and in general the whole word should sound like a duck quacking lol

im showing me worldly-ness now

And you know what I also find stupid! Holden ads, evolution ends here, does that mean next years ute is going to be much the same?

I like the idea of cars evolving. I want to see Holdens all fighting each other to see who is fittest for survival. Like evil versions of Herbie the Love Bug.

Well according to the advertisements the 09 version won't win this duel, I like this idea.

But do we open this to other manufacturers? And do we help fund toyota to make a dueling ute?

I think Holdens evolution ends with them all ... no more polluting petrol bombs, choking up our airwaves, spreading death and destolation as we float tonnes of oil into our atmosphere ... time for the de evolution of vehicles back to something more eco friendly VIVA LA REVOLUTION ..oops, sorry, this was your rant, not mine...

No please go on lilla,
If I could afford a hybrid car I would,
I use ethanol in a 95 micra, which already uses an awesome amount of petrol.
I like where your going with things
