Sometimes life just imitates art

Sometimes life just imitates art. The art was the Tea Master episode of Father Ted when Ted gives Mrs Doyle an automated tea-maker.

And life was me struggling with the Bosch Tassimo Coffee Maker. But it does tea as well. Although I get the feeling that using the Tassimo to make tea is a bit like using your iPad as a placemat. You’d be better off with a placemat.
