Poor Goon, wait til the free wi-fi appears down the pub and then you’ll have a Coke being made to last two or more hours as someone lurks behind a laptop.

Starbucks recipes are a tragedy. Loads of them in Birmingham Centre and not one makes a brew the same as the next, always some slight variation and in the end usually ends up 40c because it’s been hanging around for so long. Costa and Nero are miles better in that order – maybe their marketing depts should be told about the special card eh )

as far as i know only tossers drink coffee

extreme tossers goto ‘coffee shops’ to drink coffee

and real fucktards drag their laptop down to a coffee shop and use the internet there pretending to be interesting, only because they are boring as fuck, have no real friends and want someone to talk to them

anyone who uses starbucks should die

@Mark Body- How long has Neros had free wifi? Last time i was in one of them (think February) they were using BT Openzone and charging £5 an hour or something.

> This brings the UK into line with Starbucks in the US and Canada, where cardholders get up to two hours of free wi-fi access per day.

So what do people do with the other three hours they are sitting in the same seat?

sorry bawbag, you need to be using at least a pint of their milk a week to qualify and you need to receive a text telling you they have changed their milk.

Anyone know what the range of their wireless is? I’ve got 2 within 250ft of my office and want to use my iPhone on it.

If Starbucks change the type of milk they use in my coffee will I be able to keep my card and sell it on ebay?

I bloody hope so because if they don’t I’m fully prepared to quote misc. inappropriate consumer regulations at them until they change the milk back (hopefully not) or let me cancel my order and keep the card (to sell on ebay).
