A good cuppa


I'm currently reading "Nobody's Perfect", a collection of reviews by The New Yorker film critic (and Englishman) Anthony Lane and I came across this great bit about Hugh Grant being interviewed on the Larry King show during that hooker scandal he was involved in a while ago:
Prodded by King toward self-examination, he scorned the need for psychotherapy—a source of vast bemusement to his host, who failed to realize that Englishmen have devised a cheap alternative to shrinks. The technical term for this is "a cup of tea."

I told you so, didn't I?

not only the English ... there's a certain Aussie I'm rather well acquainted with who likes nothing more than a cup of tea and a good lie down!

fabulous Kinks track!
I'd give it three lumps and a jam fancy!
