Some men are like...

...luke warm coffee....When I first came to England, you couldn't get a decent cup of coffee anywhere. The best you would have was warm filter coffee unless you were at a traditional cafe run by 2nd or 3rd generation Italians. Since the late 1990s you can get cafe latte, cafe au lait, espresso, the lot. And now you see loads of people in Central London walking to their offices in the morning with a coffee cup glued to their hands. There are even loyalty cards...if you pay an astronomical amount of money for 9 cups of coffee, you can get the 10th one free.

Unfortunately, men don't change as fast as the coffee tradition does. Some men are truly like luke warm coffee.

Imagine it. It's one of those cold mornings. Regardless of how much you had to drink the night before, you really want a strong and hot cup of coffee when you get to work. So you stop by at your local coffee shop. In my case, a traditional Italian cafe, not one of the new chains. Smiley man or woman says good morning, has a little chat with you and makes you a cup of latte (my favourite). You only realise when you get to your office that the milk s/he put in was frothed10 minutes before you walked in the shop. So it has all the cafeine you need but none of the warmth. Imagine the dissapointment. It'll stay with you all day.

That's how some men are...
That's all really :)
