h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Thanks, Frink. Tasteful decor, too. None of your cheap Formica tables in here, I notice - and fine bone china cups as well!

Now, where's the kettle? I hope it's on the Aga. That's the best way to boil water, y'know.

Let's just check.... milk in the fridge, ginger nuts in the biccy tin, and here's me box of selected teas. Perfect. I'll just park myself over here next to the phone line and plug my laptop in.

Only the best for my clients......er........teammates!

Thanks for offering to help with the tea making Just zis Guy. Might get a bit busy when they all stagger in with a hangover after a night at the bar....


*Takes a biscuit*

Hey, no problem. I'm very particular about my tea.

*also takes a biscuit*

gosh, i didn't even see those.........

I am very particular about my tea cup. I have two identical cups - one for home and one for work. Lime green and huge...mmm

I always like to use a mug made of nice thin china. Call me picky (but expect to be slapped for it...)

If you look in the tin over there I think there are some plain chocolate hobnobs. I'm convinced that plain chocolate hobnobs are one of the five major food groups.

Hmmm, I think I'll take part in your tea session if you don't mind. Are there also
big mugs made of pottery for my tea or do I have to bring it along by myself? And what
about the stuff to sweeten tea? I prefer big brown sugar lumps "Kluntjes" as we call them
in Northern Germany. I can supply you with lots of it, if you like.

I must be the only one here who prefers hot tea without all the cream and sweeteners.

*plop her large box of Twinings© Earl Grey on the table and scurries up to the back of a comfy couch*

Nope, I also like my tea black....er.....brown.....er.....straight.

"Just the tea and boiling water, please."

Can I have tea with my milk?

*offers to stir with tail*

won't that hurt?
second degree burns coming up

except for my tea, that is always drinkable immediatley and you have to otherwise it goes colld too quickly as I like my tea white, well off-white. but that is literallly mug coloured.

That's why 'twas your tea I offered to stir.

I don't know, the heat from your tail might warm it up

*acceptstirringwithtailandwatchfascinated* Doesn't it hurt, poor mouse?? Tail in hot tea??
*offerstosoothepain*

*laughs* .. Erm... uhm.. *ahem* ... Thanks?

Hope you don't mind a bit of SPAM in the tea room...

This is a good month to be outside at night with a nice hot mug of tea.
