Yea! I’m vindicated as a Tea Drinker!



Saw this article on BBC news with the title “Tea ‘healthier’ drink than water”!

I’m a big tea drinker. I don’t drink coffee but I drink copious amounts of tea. My mug in work is about twice the size of a normal mug. However I always thought that tea, because it’s hot and full of caffeine, that it dehydrates. In fact, I would always have a small bottle of water nearby to make sure I drank enough liquids during the day. But according to this research:

Tea not only rehydrates as well as water does, but it can also protect against heart disease and some cancers, UK nutritionists found.

Aha! No need to hydrate when drinking tea! I took this advice to heart last week, and after my lunch-time gym session, had a nice warm cup of tea. Normally after the gym, I drink as much water as I can and avoid drinking tea till much later that evening. I noticed no ill effects!

They found clear evidence that drinking three to four cups of tea a day can cut the chances of having a heart attack.

Some studies suggested tea consumption protected against cancer, although this effect was less clear-cut.

Other health benefits seen included protection against tooth plaque and potentially tooth decay, plus bone strengthening.

Now my only problem is that I’m drinking tea all the time. I don’t have that guilt “twang” if I’ve hit my fourth mug of tea that morning!

Sadly, there is a big-fucking-disclaimer. Even though:

Dr Ruxton stressed that the work was independent.

It is important to note:

The Tea Council provided funding for the work.

Evidence of Occult activity in Dublin!


I managed to take this photo of a strange occult ritual being performed in Dublin. Whats worse several Redbrick members were involved; duke, tomo, dshagins, dimples, p zircon and grimnar… I overheard mention of werewolves. We’re they trying to summon such a monster?

I haven’t posted in a while… not that I don’t have anything to say. I could write about why I think Mage: the Awakening sucks or the weird differences between American and English Reality TV shows (I might get back to that latter topic on another date), but instead I’m going to talk about a goldfish and some mice.

Monty Python does the new Mage!



I’ve just started reading the new Mage: The Awakening from White Wolf. The original Mage: The Ascension was probably my favourite RPG of all time. So I expected a lot from this entirely new version, unfortunately it doesn’t even half deliver. Some of my opinions can be found here but tbh I’m not too pushed to do some criticisms.
