My old man drank coffee down the mine every single day for thirty years, three or four cups before his shift ended and the bloke lived to ninety two, so they can tell us whatever they reckon now and it doesnt change what I saw with my own eyes and back then nobody was carrying on about heart disease the way they do now, reckon they just want to sell us more pills and tests

Drove Mum up to the Bathurst endocrinologist last Tuesday and petrol cost me an arm and a leg plus $15 parking at the clinic. By the time we got home I needed three coffees just to stay awake on the highway.

Tried that fancy local roaster down near the base station last winter charging $7.50 a cup and honestly it tasted like burnt dirt. Give me instant camp coffee over that overpriced muck any day of the week ☕
