Fun Online Polls: Free wi-fi & wearing a poppy (or not)

The results to last week's Fun Online Poll were as follows:

Has anyone, anywhere, ever connected to free wifi successfully?

Yes, it usually works - 72%
Possibly somebody has else managed it, but it never seems to work for me - 28%

Good to know.

In that case I must be doing something very wrong, because it only works for me in hotels, never in shops or restaurants etc.

This week's Fun Online Poll:

"Did you wear a poppy this year, and if not why not?"

I didn't write the possible answers, I took them from a BBC article on the topic.

Life imitates art*

"Everyone In Coffee Shop Billing For Their Time" The Onion, spoof article, February 2006.

There was a full page article on page 3 of yesterday's Times (that I can't track down online) entitled 'Coffee shops beat the office grind' that suggests that a lot of people take their lap tops to Starbucks et al and work from there, paying a few quid for coffee and the Wi-fi.

* More accurately, humourists are far quicker to spot trends and stereotypes than the MSM.

Caffè Nero

I've noticed that these cafés use the slogan 'The best espresso this side of Milan".

For this to be true, the espresso that they serve would have to get progressively better, the further that the café serving it is from Milan.

Ergo, if it is true, the best espresso in the world must be served in the Caffè Nero which is furthest from Milan, i.e. somewhere in the South Pacific.
