I like it just fine MG, except for the little lines between the mug and the handle, they kinda make it hard to get your fingers in. Is that what you meant about the spacing? But apart from that, it's great, because it's BIG . The bigger the mug, the more tea, which is always a good thing . I wish we could get Tony Benn in on this, he drinks a pint of tea every hour on the hour when he can. Now that's a man who takes his tea seriously. Y'know, the more I think about it, the more I want to keep our own (MG's) smiley, just because of its size, and Dr John's cO~ because you need a cO~ to fill a mug that big

yeah, that is pretty much what i meant. if i leave out the dots, it looks like this:

instead of this:

so just ignore the dots.

i'm glad you like it!

...a collapsible cuppa!! It's fantastic! Put it in your pocket...bring it out when there's nothing better to be doing...

Pardon me while I try a little experiment...

I'm gonna go away and try this somewhere else, but I swear I'll get it sorted out, and whaddya know, I have a whole day off tomorrow and loads of stuff to put off. Deep joy

Well, and so I've got a seminar to write, the bathroom to clean and the dinner to cook, but here I am anyway. Also, I bought a whole bunch of christmas cards 2 weeks ago, and wrote them, but I haven't gotten around to posting them yet. And I first saw this site a while back and I thought, well..... you know.

Oh and my motto for life is in fact 'Never do today what can be put off till tommorrow. And never do tomorrow what can be put off till the day after.'

In short, can I join?

With an intro like that Solnushka, how can I refuse? Your credentials are perfect I think I'm running a little behind on updating the member's list, so maybe I should get that done today instead of the laundry or cleaning the fish tank. Which "...small town just north east of London" are you from btw? I know that area very well.

Greetings to the new members! I'll join you in a cuppa tea instead of doing laundry. The kitchen needs a good cleaning, too, so I think I'll just get comfortable here.

Hi ox, how's it going with the fast? You must be pretty well de-toxed by now . Tea? Don't mind if I do. Shall I be mother? cO~
I've updated the member's list with not only the new members (24, which is 42 backwards ), but everyone's current h2g2 name.
Considering the slew of parties going on right now at h2g2, it's only fitting that we should have one too. It'll probably happen around Easter I reckon

Thanks Goshoogoshoogosh (hope I got that right!)

I hadn't thought I'd see my name up nearly so soon... guess it just goes to show how busy things get IRL during the holidays - everyone's HERE instead!

~8~

*Wanders in just to keep thread near the top of his list. Notices all the cO~ has been drunk so settles for instead. Settles down to watch a bunch of Coen Bros videos*

*Realises the remote's not working because it was his turn to buy the batteries and he thought that tomorrow would be soon enough. Gets up off squishy sofa, reluctantly, and starts Fargo manually.*

Hallo, all!
Wow, I didn't know that thing would get so big! I'm very glad you're all as concerned as I am! I would have added to the conversation with Peta about it, but my stupid modem is running at 9600 bps at the moment, and it's a wonder I got as far as I am right now in this conversation alone. I'll add to the other one tomorrow.
I have but one more thing to say: BLIZZARD!!! Anyone with any questions can read what's in my journal, it's got a lot of really useless facts if you don't live near Chicago, and it's kept me from the cooking I'm supposed to be doing. A nice cuppa would be good on a day like today... and Fargo sounds like a wonderful way to spend my afternoon. Good choice, Doc.

DID SOMEBODY SAY BLIZZARD? THIS LOOKS LIKE A JOB FOR........*drumroll and other dramatic stuff* THE MAD FORUM ARTIST(moi, of course )
here's a blizzard:

no this isn't supposed to be swearing.

can anyone who has something/nothing better to do take a vote on this:

should i change my name to include mad forum artist? i would NOT(OF COURSE) insist that anyone update any lists i am on.

here's a , anne girl. too bad it can't be a real one. that would be sooo nice to be able to send actual, physical stuff thrugh the computer. oh well. if its the thought that counts at least you will have the thought
