Must be a VERY small person.

Cappuccino is a diminutive word in Italian, relating to the white and brown clothing or habit of the Cappuchin friars. It is a relatively small coffee drink, being shorter than a cafe latte.

The Cappuccino is often refered to by coffee makers (barristas) as "the short, frothy one".

I could call Huw a short, frothy one but would't like to call Mario a small, pale onion http://www.drgourmet.com/ingredients/cipolini.shtml

Judging by the sweaty dishevelled state of you Huw it took quite a bit to get through it :lol: . Have you stopped shaking yet from all that caffine? I guess you'll finally get to sleep on Tuesday.
