who misses the most and the least days of work?

Joe: Well, not to be too braggadocios, but I do have a 113% shift attendance rate.

Tango: Wait, how the hell you have a 113 percent attendance? How is that even possible?

Joe: Well, you see, Tango, when people can't make their own shifts, I tend to be the first person X calls in to cover.

Joe: Or, you know, when someone happens to oversleep their shift...

Tango: Oh, come on, Joe, that was one time!

Joe: Hey man, I'm just answering your question.

Joe: ... and it was twice, actually.

Tango: Ugh.

---

Bdubs: Oh my god, the day Scar shows up for a shift, I'll eat my own socks.

Cleo: You mean the disabled man who occasionally takes time off when he's sick?

Bdubs: Yeah, exactly!

Bdubs: I'm over here pulling all his slack, while he's off dilly dallying in a hospital bed.

Bdubs: And for what?

Bdubs: A load of phooey, that's what.

Cleo: I mean, you are paid to cover his shifts, Bdubs, so I don't know what you mean by that.

Bdubs: Tsk. Typical. You would say that.

Cleo: Would I? Why?

Bdubs: Because he's obviously your favourite, Cleo!

Cleo: Oh my god, not this again...

Cleo: I literally live with you, Bdubs.

Bdubs: Yeah, but you'd live with Scar if you could, though. I know it.

Cleo: You know what?

Cleo: At this point, I'm seriously considering my options...

Bdubs: NO!

Hello everyone Ricky Goldman here.

Its Futureshock: Turn It Up live at Stockport Masonic Guildhall in Stockport. I got myself a beer. 1st match is Ethan Kelly vs Scott Oberman. Scott in control to begin,Slamming and chopping Ethan trying to put him away early but Ethan came back into it and turned it to his advantage. Ethan pulled out some good and impressive moves,coming close to a win but Scott got angry and back into it again he got because Ethan just couldn't do it even after hitting a Claymore to no avail. Scott beat down Ethan forcing a DQ. Scott asked Ethan to join him and that he did.

Next up is Lizzy Evo and HCC vs Lana Austin and Harley Hudson. HCC starts the action but Harley and Lana soon take over,they just won't let in Lizzy but HCC continues to fight. HCC finally managed to tag in Lizzy who went right to the top rope hitting a drop kick to no avail. Harley back in it for a short little time but HCC breaks up the count. A spear to Lana from Lizzy sends her out the ring,Lizzy and Harley go at it as Lizzy scores the pinfall on Harley giving her and HCC the win.

Onto the next Joe Blazr vs DDL for the futureshock title. Joe is the former Big Guns Joe,hes now got a comedy gimmick. Joe came very close multiple times to ending the 701 day title reign of Damon Leigh. Good match here from both men,Joe continued to stay in it despite the onslaught from the champion. Damon just couldn't put Joe away no matter what he did,even hitting a piledriver which Joe kicked out of. The champion hooks on a sleeper hold but How fought out and with the crowd behind him pulled out some very impressive moves. What a match this was that definitely went the distance. A bump from the ref,Damon cracked Joe over the head with the title but this didn't do anything because Joe kicked out and the match continued. DDL hits his finisher but Joe kicks out which totally surprised not only the champion but the crowd to. Joe continues to fight and battle,he actually goes on to end the 701 day streak and become champion.

Another match is Oscar Byron and Steven Cross vs Dynamite Lee Dawson and Senner. Lee in control of Steven until Oscar tags in,the crowd is certainly hot now. Steven back in and it looked like he was going to walk out but he got in the ring before the 10 count and was right on Lee. Senner tagged in for a tiny amount of time as Oscar is in and then Steven. Steven throws Senner out the ring and dispatches him as Oscar clotheslines Lee for the dub. After the match Senner slapped Lee so Lee said he would defend his title against him later on.

Now we get into Helsians that I haven’t developed a lot of but they have names for the most part. Also very large thank yous to @micer2012 and @aestheticallynotdeerlightful for helping me with these, specifically Mephitic, Isel, Minnow, and LDShadowQueen!! It really helped :D Lova you guys so much

Top: Joe Hells(Hels Joe), Mephitic(Hels Pungence), Iselrak(Helsralis)

Bottom: Logoslab(Hels Etho), Minnow(Helsolidarity), LDShadowQueen(Hels Lizzie)

(Reblogs with tags and comments are appreciated. Thankyu. More info under the read more)

Now I don’t have a lot for Joe Hells, and I have not actually written down information about Meph, Logos, Minnow, or Shadow Queen. So really you are only getting one bio here. But some basic info for yall curious, Meph is Sidas’ younger brother, absolute risk taker, and a gamblin man. He was also friends with Helskizz and is an absolutely awful person. 

Minnow and the Shadow Queen are siblings, Minnow being younger and very sickly because his egg was damaged and SQ didn’t care enough to try and protect it completely. He’s nothing but a little servant to her until one day an invitation comes in for her to attend HCC. However, Minnow keeps the invitation and attends himself, which is how he meets Sminor. That’s the most good to come out of it.

Now for the only one on here I wrote a paragraph for. Yet again, I am not giving you guys everything :)

Iselrak(Helsralis): Keralis’ gambling addiction and flirtatious nature cranked up by 110% personified. He fell into debt because of the NLO’s casino and then spent years of his life gambling trying to make back that money. Eventually, he started drinking to stop thinking about it. He sold his furniture and his house to try and get money, living in an alley way outside the casino. After a while he forgot why he even came here anymore. He’s one of the most well known patrons of the casino, but not for any good reason, just because he’s the resident drunkard that everybody likes to poke fun of or talk crap about...then he met Sidas. And after the two’s initial meeting, they grew to genuinely care about each other. Sidas would take Isel home n take care of him, which got Sidas kicked ouf of his house.

Dammit, I'm too soft and need my comfort boys now! 😭

Can I get “No one’s kissed me like that in a long time.” for Sharky, my dear pyromaniac boy? ❤

hell yeah you friggin can!!! thank, thank, thank you for sending me this ask!! i haven't proofread SHIT!! i took my medicaiton and i need a nap!!! asakdjskdsk this is uh? what most would call NSFW, enjoy!

“Woah, woah Chica-” Charlemagne grips the condensation laden bottle by its end and its past peeling sticker. The texture lies somewhere between off putting and comforting and he runs the pad of his thumb over one of the wrinkled corners, “Hold on now I-hCc!” Despite being a well seasoned drinker something must not have sat right with him this evening and he hiccups twice before he can continue.

“What was I sayin’?'' It comes out as one word on one hopps laden breath and he refocuses on his drinking partner for the time being, “Oh, yeah!” He hikes a finger into the air vaguely in her direction with one eye half closed, leaning on the rounded edge of the bartop, “We hardly even know each other, Little Miss!” With the bottle halfway to his lips he abruptly stops, one finger uncurling to point at her as well, “And I do declare-hmnn-hmm-hmm!”

Sharky can’t hardly help himself on a good day and he starts laughing. First he does try to subdue it, face pinching with the effort but he does release a painful snort, “I’m sorry,” He tries between a hoot, “I can’t even take my own damn self seriously- did you hear what I was even trying to say? I mean, woo-hoo!” He laughs again at the thought, cheeks and neck reddening with rising hilarity, “Me. Charlemagne Victor Boshaw the FOURTH!! Tellin’ an interested woman what’s for.”

“Well, I mean!” He realizes himself too late and he sputters trying to backtrack, bottle at his lips for a swish before he continues, “That is not to say that I am assumin’ nothin’ when it comes to that or you and me- and hey!” Feeling like he’s really only caught his first good, decent look at his comrade for the night, he tries to concentrate around the blurred, starry edges of his vision. “Hang on now, you remind me of somebody.” His face screws up in a look of near constipation, gears grinding and turning - trying desperately to form a single, cognitive thought, “I know you…”

“Aww,” Her voice is low and pitying, sickeningly sweet, “Sharky.” Tinged with a hint of hopeful disappointment, “You should just stop thinking.” She swivels in her seat, one leg folded neatly over the other and a halo of blonde shining under the overhead lights, “Just,” She inches closer, just slightly, forever luring him in but never setting the hook, “Hush that pretty head of yours and have another drink. It is,” The lines around her eyes set when she giggles far more youthful than her appearance, “On the house, after all.”

“Yeah,” He agrees though he isn’t particularly thirsty and when a bottle is pressed to his lips he takes a lengthy swig, fully trusting the woman he’s been speaking to. “I should,” So entranced is he that he hardly realizes the switch off. New bottle, different shape, “You’re right.” Directly from her hands to his mouth this time. “That’s an excellent idea-” He wants to elaborate but the thoughts leave him and he watches, happily, as someone he is sure he should know briefly interrupts their little two-person soirée.

“Yes,” He catches her saying, “Yes Father.”

The way she looks up at him with an unmatched, heady desire sparks a tight, hateful twinge somewhere deep within him and suddenly, without thought or warning, he’s getting up out of his seat- nearly jumping backwards off of his bar stool. He doesn’t say anything but he holds himself on edge, breath heavy and chest tight. Ready for what, he isn’t sure.

His new friend gets up as well. Slowly and placatingly she approaches him. Tiptoeing barefoot around the toppled stool she rests on her heels in front of him, pads of her pointers tracing the raised, bubble lettering of his sweatshirt. “Shame,” She sounds sad and heartbroken as she looks up at him through her lashes, “Things were going so well, wouldn’t you say?”

Though he is struggling through the haze, trying to break free from the control she has on him he finds himself nodding along, mouth opening, “Yes, I would.”

“Tonight was going to be the night, Charlemagne,” There is an almost supernatural, haunting tone to her voice that coats him to his very soul- viscous and charming is she, “The. Night.” She pouts feigning a sob into his chest and, despite the dread creeping in he embraces her, palms smoothing over the lines of her gauzy, lace dress. “Do you understand what that means?”

Sharky doesn’t respond verbally but his fingers tighten, digging into the curve of her shoulders underneath a layer of fabric that reminds him of the floral doilies his grandmother kept on surfaces around her home.

“You and me, together,” Though he is gaining his wits his heart aches for that statement, “Forever.” She spins once, heavenly, between his arms and humming, “It could be Bliss, you know.”

She looks up at him and though he knows he should make a move to run- leave this place and never look back, he dips his head instead. When their lips meet it is other-worldly. Charlemagne feels like blasting off into space with Larry and whatever that damn computer's name is he’s always talking about.

Though they are by no means alone, anything rooted in reality ceases to exist for him. They could be in the middle of a field, tornado overhead- bottom of a mountain with an avalanche barrelling down and he would be none the wiser. Sharky had never been one to buy into the whole ��time stops’ theory when it came to being with another person and sharing intimacy, but? He is becoming a believer as the seconds tick by.

When they pull apart, each of their chests heaving for breath he takes a long, wisened look at her. This is? The enemy. Without a doubt- make no mistakes about it. This is wrong.

She opens her mouth to say something but unthinking and working solely on drive Charlemagne pushes forward, rearing her into the wall of, what he is now aware is, not a licensed retail establishment. The bus turned Peggie jungle gym decorating the center of Moonflower Trailer Park creaks and groans with the voracity in which he attaches himself to her.

In the many times he’d dared to imagine a similar scenario he at least envisioned some kind of refusal or rebuttal from the female Herald but she leans into him, eager to respond. Sharky pulls away, flustered lips biting a line down the side of her mouth to her chin. At her neck he particularly digs in, hands tying into her hair tightly.

“No one’s kissed me like that in a long time,” She’s a mixture of cross and ashamed, hands wrung tightly in the curled hairs at the nape of his neck, “Bastard.”

“Should leave you with a little somethin’ for Padre Joe, in that case.” He moves in as her mouth opens to object, teeth rough on the tender bend of her neck. A hand travels the curve of her ass, bringing her in closely as she responds.

“Sharky . . .”

He’s never heard a creature as ethereal as her breathless before and it takes battling an excellent sense of self preservation to make a line of mottled, swollen hickeys in every tender, erogenous zone he can manage to get to. “You like that?” As the Bliss really begins to leave him he does have the sense to start getting angry with her and her tricks despite their current entanglement.

She nods her agreement, little huffs of air tickling the short hairs on the side of his neck but it isn’t quite the type of affirmation he’s looking for.

“Let’s see, then.” With nearly any other woman he would likely not be this assertive but this is the second time she’s tried to drug him and take advantage of him to get him to join their stupid wacky cult and? He’s not concerned about pleasantries or anything resembling normalcy. The hand at her rear ruchs up the back of her dress just enough so that he can trace the outline of her panties freely before snaking a finger inside, “Oh, yeah?”

She has the decency to look embarrassed and he smiles wide, pleased, “You get all hot and bothered thinkin’ of ways to get me to say Yes, don’t you?”

“I-” He shifts, moving to bring his hand to a more advantageous position and she makes a noise of protest, “No!”

Sharky raises a brow at her and the way her barefoot slaps the ground in rebuttal, “You sure about that?” Reaching between them he adjusts himself, purposefully slow to return his hand to the apex of her thighs. Alight with joy at the look of frustration it causes he relents, “Now,” The decommissioned school bus creaks when she tries to vy for leverage against his slow, lapping movements, “Think real hard before you answer me-”

“Yes! I do- I,” Rachel cuts herself off sucking in a large, shaking breath, “Ohh! I love thinking of ways to bring you down, Sinner! I- mmm!”

Charlemagne laughs silently, eyes creasing up in the direction of the moonlight. Toeing the line of stern and gentle he leans in, lips and tongue and careful teeth against her. Two small, hot hands grip the width of his wrist, keeping him there, when he tries to adjust his stance and he grins against her, sickeningly glad to know he is doing well for her.

Nose against the shell of her ear and mouth working on and off in time with his digits he speaks gently this time, starkly aware of what her reality must be, “How long has it been since a man treated you right?” Apparently unable to speak, she shakes her head in the negative, teeth pinching her lower lip, “Never?”

“Shut up,” She barely manages.

“What?”

“I said shut up and fuck me, Charlemagne!”

His entire face screws up at that, her hazy spell broken. “No,” Sharky removes himself from her, head shaking in the negative, “Don’t think I will. Go home, Faith.”

“You can’t just stick your fingers in a woman and then tell her to get out, Sharky!”

“I can and I have and I will, Ma’am.” Taking a breath he releases what he’s debating on, “Not every guy wants it like that, Shorty.” Out of view within the bus behind her he reaches into the darkness, “Sooner you learn that,” He shrugs, looking stern though he is sporting quite the rock-hard erection, “Sooner we can do more than just talk.”

“Sharky-”

The shotgun blast dissipates the vision of her and he looks down at the barrel, nearly disappointed he hadn’t submitted and agreed to be turned into one of her newest pets, “Well. Least I got my twenty bucks worth.”

In Too Deep...

Rounding up Hollyoaks@25 (Originally Aired September 1999)

With Hollyoaks off air until September, we’re being treated to a look back at some of the biggest weeks in the show’s history, starting with this one from September 1999. To set the scene, villainous Rob Hawthorne had been terrorising the residents of Hollyoaks for the past three years, but was thought to have met a watery end, having been left in the middle of the English Channel following a fight with Kurt Benson. However, in true Hollyoaks fashion, Rob wasn’t dead, and made a secret return to the village following Kurt’s death in a jet ski accident...

We opened at Kurt’s funeral, and his younger sister, Lucy (Rob’s ex), was struggling to come to terms with her grief. Having already lost her younger Brother, Ollie, in a car accident, former heroin addict, Lucy, was feeling guilty about being the last Benson child standing, and wanted some time at the cemetery to herself. As Lucy’s friends made their way back to the village, they were unaware that Rob was watching them from behind a gravestone. Some time later, the gang became aware that Lucy hadn’t made it back, and a worried Tony headed off to search for her. He arrived at the cemetery to see Lucy being dragged away by Rob...

Rob took Lucy to a nautical test centre, whilst Tony, Lewis and Ruth gave chase. The trio eventually managed to find their way into the tower, but Rob ended up trapping them too. As Ruth, Lewis and Tony searched for Lucy, Lucy flirted with Rob in a desperate attempt to keep him sweet, but he was wise to her trick and rejected her. Now even more angry, Rob tied Lucy up, trapped her in some sort of pod-thing, and dropped her into the water, just as Ruth, Lewis and Tony arrived on the scene...

Unsurprisingly, Ruth, Lewis and Tony ended up in the water too, and Lewis was quick to dive down and rescue Lucy. With the group surrounded by water, and with no obvious means of escape, panic began to set in, especially when Rob began altering the temperature of the water and adding wave effects. Lewis soon had a bright idea when, upon realising where they were, theorised that there could be a life raft in the pod that Rob had used to trap Lucy. Lewis was proved right, but their relief at a spot of respite from the cold water was short lived when Rob punctured the life raft.

Back in the village, Carol was beginning to worry about her friends, especially when she awoke the following morning to find that Tony’s bed hadn’t been slept in. Carol’s worry soon intensified when she received a phone call from Rob, telling her to go the riverbank if she wanted to find her friends. Back at the centre, the group had been drifting all night, and Lucy in particular was struggling. Knowing that the group were getting weaker, and likely wanting to prolong their suffering, Rob threw a life ring and some air canisters into the water, and when Lewis dived down to retrieve them, he spotted a hatch at the bottom of the tank. As Lewis had given his canister to Lucy, he couldn’t muster enough strength to open the hatch, so Tony volunteered to use his canister to dive down and open it. As the tank began to drain, the group were sucked through the hatch, and soon washed up on the riverbank, just as Carol arrived on the scene.

As everyone swam to the side, Tony realised that Lucy hadn’t made it back, and risked his life to go back into the water to rescue her. It was touch and go as Tony attempted CPR, but there was relief all round when Lucy opened her eyes. With their ordeal over, Lewis, Tony, Ruth and Lucy returned to the village, but were soon worrying about Rob’s next move when he left an answerphone message, warning them that he would be back...

Meanwhile, there was trouble at the Cunningham’s, as Max grew concerned about baby Holly’s safety around Cindy’s boyfriend, Sean. Max confided in Mandy, who encouraged him to voice his concerns to his Mother, Angela. Although Angela was disbelieving at first, she eventually came round, and warned Sean that she would be keeping an eye on things. The situation came to a head when Angela walked in on Sean shouting at Holly and ordered him out of her house, angering Cindy, who decided she and Holly were going too. Sean was initially reluctant to allow Cindy and Holly to come with him, pointing out that his wages were barely enough to support himself, let alone her and Holly too. However, he soon changed his tune when Cindy suggested they use some money put into savings for Holly’s future, and the trio headed for their new life in a grotty caravan. Back in the village, Cindy’s Father, Gordon, was furious when he realised that Cindy and Holly had gone, and accused Angela of driving Cindy away with her exaggerated tales. However, Max made his Dad see how much danger Holly was in, and insisted that they would have to find her...

In other news this week, Kerri and Adam’s relationship hit a rocky patch, and she left to go travelling without him, whilst Carol was mortified when pages from her diary made it into a phone box, courtesy of Kate! Finally, new students, Alex, Sam, Nikki, Geri and Anna moved into the halls of residence at HCC. Whilst Alex, Sam, Nikki and Geri were keen to throw themselves into student life, Anna had a difficult start as she discovered the terrible state that her bedroom was in, and struggled to find any common ground with her new flatmates. 

Cast:

Adam, Alex, Anna, Andy, Angela, Carol, Cindy, Finn, Geri, Gordon, Holly, Joe, Kate, Kerri, Lewis, Lucy, Mandy, Max, Nikki, Rob, Ruth, Sam, Sean, and Tony.

Hamilton Children’s Choir, “Hymn of Acxiom”

Video production by Jamie Drake/Opus 32 Design.  Recorded by Kirk Starkey and Joe Mancuso, mixed by Kirk Starkey.

Composed by Vienna Tang, arranged by Robin Salkeld Illumini ensemble conducted by Zimfira Poloz

Hamilton Children’s Choir has rightfully gained a reputation for expanding people’s ideas of what a “children’s choir” standard of performance and artistry is.  Like many arts organizations, it’s been a challenge to figure out how to continue the performance and education aspects of the ensemble during this pandemic.  Thankfully, we had a great audio recording session right before things started to shut down (this was one of the only pieces that didn’t require percussion, so I was able to just sit in the chapel and listen to a beautiful performance).  When the idea of making a virtual choir video was proposed, I wanted to make sure that the video both reflected the artistry and professional level of the choir, and also wanted to make sure that it was something different (and hopefully more engaging and visually beautiful) than a typical virtual choir video.  The text of Hymn of Acxiom is written from the perspective of a company that is using information collected from us to produce an ideal (if slightly sinister?) virtual world, while those for whom it’s being produced are still stuck glued to their devices, and isolated - as it turned out, a fitting song for the times, in a way, and an inspiration to shift the idea of people in “boxes” that is necessarily part of self-filmed-at-home virtual ensemble videos.  Many thanks to HCC for trusting me with the video production - I’m really happy with how this all came together.

Scientists Explain What Happens To Your Body When You Drink Coffee Every Day

Not only does coffee keep a lot of us sane, but it contains so many health benefits that we question why you wouldn’t want to drink it if you don’t already. Of course, it tastes better with a few teaspoons of sugar and cream, but sadly, the benefits come from straight up black, pure coffee. Sugar and cream don’t hurt every now and then, though.

Before we tell you about what happens when you drink coffee every morning when you wake up, we should mention that if you buy coffee, try to buy organic, fair trade when possible. Also, go for pure coffee without added, artificial flavors, as this will lessen the health benefits you get from drinking it.

So, why is coffee good for you, you ask? Well, get ready to feel even better about your coffee addiction when you find out why!

HERE’S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DRINK COFFEE EVERY DAY:

1. IT INCREASES YOUR METABOLISM. This is probably the number one reason why people drink the stuff, anyway. There’s nothing quite like getting out of bed groggy and unprepared for the work or school day ahead, and then downing a cup of joe and suddenly feeling like an Energizer bunny. While the energy doesn’t last long, it can certainly help us start our day on the right note. Plus, who’s to say you can’t have a refill or two in the afternoon!

Studies have even found that coffee helps increase your metabolism after a workout! A study published in the Journal of Applied Physiology discovered that endurance athletes who had a cup of coffee following exercise had a 66 percent increase in muscle glycogen, which helps the body replace energy quickly after a hard workout.

2. COFFEE INCREASES BRAIN HEALTH.

Where should we start with all the brain benefits? Well, some studies have found that drinking 3-5 cups of coffee per day can decrease the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease and dementia by as much as 65% in middle-aged men and women. Other studies have found that a daily cup of joe can decrease the risk of developing Parkinson’s disease by as much as 32-60%.

Also, drinking coffee can inhibit a type of nucleoside in the brain known as adenosine. Adenosine decreases the firing of neurons and the release of beneficial neurotransmitters such as dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine within the brain. Because caffeine blocks adenosine, it therefore increases the “feel-good” chemicals within the brain.

Finally, other studies have found that coffee increases cognitive performance, mood, reaction time, memory, and alertness.

3. IT MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD! A groundbreaking study performed by researchers at the Harvard Public School of Health found that adult men and women who drank two to four cups of caffeinated coffee each day had a 50% lower risk of suicide compared to those who drank decaf coffee or no coffee at all.

In addition, coffee contains many antioxidants and beneficial nutrients such as Vitamins B1, B2, B3, and B5, as well as potassium and manganese.

All the nutrients and comfort you get from drinking a few cups of coffee a day will help you feel happier overall!

4. YOU HAVE A REDUCED RISK OF SKIN CANCER. A study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute found that older adults who consumed four or more cups of coffee per day had a 20% lower risk of developing malignant melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer in the U.S. Researchers believe that coffee helps to reduce the risk of developing skin cancer because of the many antioxidants and phytochemicals in America’s favorite drink.

5. YOU ALSO DECREASE YOUR RISK OF LIVER CANCER. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the sixth most commonly diagnosed cancer in the world and the third leading cause of cancer deaths. HCC makes up about 90 percent of all liver disease reported.

Just one cup of joe per day may decrease the risk of HCC by 20 percent; two cups by 35 percent, and four or more cups by 50 percent. (The FDA recommends no more than 400 milligrams of coffee daily – or four cups.)

Dr. Peter Hayes, a medical professor at the University of Edinburgh, says, “We have shown coffee reduces cirrhosis and also liver cancer. Coffee has also been reported to reduce the risk of death from many other causes. (In moderation), coffee can be a wonderful, natural medicine.”

6. COFFEE HELPS REDUCE THE RISK OF TYPE 2 DIABETES. According to a study led by researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health, people who had one more cup of coffee per day than their normal amount over the course of four years had an 11% lower risk of developing Type 2 diabetes compared with those who drank the same amount of coffee as normal. What’s more, the study discovered that those who decreased their coffee consumption by more than one cup per day increased their risk of Type 2 diabetes by 17%.

Now that you’re armed with all this knowledge about the benefits of coffee, we hope you will continue enjoying this delicious, medicinal drink, or get on the bandwagon and start indulging!

If you are looking for a healthier coffee, we recommend lingzhi coffee which contains "The miraculous king of herbs".

Bdubs: I was a sceptic at first and I'll hold my hands up to that, but I've totally been converted.

Scar: What the heck is a London Dog?

Bdubs: It's a London Fog, Scar, not a London Dog!

Bdubs: That's Paddington you're thinking of, stupid.

Impulse: Wait what? Isn't paddington a–

Zedaph: It's an earl grey tea with some vanilla syrup and just a splash of hot milk on top. Very delicious, if I do say so myself.

Scar: Huh. So it's, like, a British thing?

Tango: I guess?

Scar: fascinating.

Tango: What's your favourite drink, Scar?

Scar: Oh, hot chocolate, of course! Nothing better!

Zedaph: Ah, yes, the young man's coffee.

Impulse: Tango, what about you?

Tango: Oh, long black with three shots of espresso. First thing I do when I get in is make myself one.

Tango: Keeps the gears in the ol' thinker thinkificating, if you know what I mean?

Impulse: ...Tango, how many of those do you have a day?

Tango: ...

Tango: What are you, a cop?

Cleo: If I get more than five minutes after a rush, I like a flat white.

Cleo: What can I say? I like it basic. Not everything has to have a big fanfare about it.

False: Oh, yeah, give me a cup of strong black tea and I'll be happy.

Joe: For me, it's got to be something a little bit sweet, but not too sweet. I'll usually make myself a white americano with just a smidge of caramel syrup to counteract the bitterness.

Cleo: What about you, X?

Xisuma: Same as Cleo, but with oat milk. I just like it a little creamier.

Grian: Huh? Oh. I don't know. I don't really care. Whatever.

Scar: That's not true...

Grian: ...

Grian: Caramel hot chocolate.

Scar: There you go!

Grian: Yeah, yeah, shut up... menace.

Mumbo: Uh, just like... A latte, I guess?

Mumbo: It's not exciting, but–

Wels: Americano sunrise.

Mumbo: ...Isn't that–?

Wels: Yep.

Mumbo: ...

Mumbo: Alright then.

Mumbo: Are we, uh... done here?

For the baristas: who is the best at latte art? And by extension who makes the best coffee?

Joe: Oh, Bdubs makes the best-

Zedaph: Shshshsh.

Joe: Uh, what?

Zedaph: Do you hate Bdubs, Joe? Is that it?

Joe: What? No! I was just going to say that his latte art is-

Zedaph: Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Joe: Um, what's going on here?

Zedaph: Well, you are clearly stating your distaste for your fellow barista, that's for sure.

Joe: What are you talking about? I like Bdubs, plenty. Why are you saying that?

Zedaph: Well, you must hate him, if you're willing to inflate his ego like that. Have you seen the size of that bloke's head already, Joe? Give him anything else and he won't fit through doors anymore.

Joe: ... What?

Bdubs: Say it, Joe.

Joe: Whoa! Bdubs, where did you come from?

Bdubs: Oh, haha! That doesn't matter. Finish your thought, Joe.

Joe: ... Well, I'm not sure I want to now...

Bdubs: Don't be afraid, Joe.

Zedaph: You did this to yourself, Joe.

Joe: I think I want to go home now.

Bdubs: [Slams fist on counter]

Bdubs: Just answer the question, Joe!

Joe: [Squeaks]

Joe: I need an adult.
