What tea do you drink?

Which is your preferred tea of choice? I like Earl Grey, and Tesco Premium tea is also surprisingly excellent. I also like Twinings Tea for Everyday.

Why did Hope of the States split up?

The Prentender

Did anyone here watch this series called 'The Pretender?' It was never shown on normal TV, only Sky/Cable. It was absolutely fantastic; although it was never concluded properly.
