"in my daft"?
Is this one of those colorful metaphors?

"my daft" is the personalised area of the site.

Ok. For the american with no passport in the audience, how much does a cup of coffee usually cost? Here little ones are $1 and huge ones are $2ish.

(I refuse to speak starbucks on sizes.)

You know, I haven't the slightest clue. I'm just being hideously melodramatic. I get most of my coffee from a tap in the office, and the mere thought of shelling out a buck-fifty per cup is enough to give me the shakes.

In all honesty, a buck-fifty is about regular for a coffee in a pub or a coffee shop, but in the not-too-distant past it was more like a buck. Ireland's gotten rather expensive in the last decade.
