Whats all this about mugs?

I like having a cuboard of odd mugs. All mine, of course. And no-one else can drink from them. They can drink form the boring mugs that look all the same and are void of inspiring words like "honda" or "haynes manual" or "koni", instead having perhaps a silly pattern like 6 other mugs in the cuboard. My wife thinks having matching mugs is a nice thing and dosnt get the way I like to express myself when drinking a cup of tea

Garibaldi? Just stop making stuff up, will you?

Sake.

Mugs List starting tomorrow.

I'm absolutely not. 30 seconds in a microwave to warm them through, slice of Roquefort or Stilton or something of that ilk. Glass of wine (optional). It works.

All you have to do is to become a regular contributor here at Trivial Towers (and survive the Initiation Ceremony and make over all your income to the cause) and you will qualify for a Fifth Anniversary mug. Sadly, this annual event has become so popular - with as many as six or even seven members applying - that the Committee regret it can no longer be free of charge.

To recap, the Fifth Anniversary of the Trivial thread is 30th July 2015 and this year's souvenir is a white bone china mug emblazoned with the motto "I'D RATHER BE AT TRIVIAL TOWERS" in blue capital letters. Small mugs will be £10 +P&P and large mugs will be £11 +P&P. Available very soon.

Is there such a thing as the female equivalent of a dirty old man?

[Mr Roper]

Gretchen, the stage is yours.

Excellent. I'll see about having a box of small and a box of large made. For reasons that weren't expalined, the text will be blue.

Marvellous.

I'll take a Large please... PM me with Paypal or whatever and I'll sort you out with the funds ASAP

I missed this: YES PLEASE! Waitrose sponsored platinum AmEx at the ready.

Quite possibly the longest tummy rumble ever. Really should have had a bite of breakfast. The diet's going well though.

When dieting you should still eat regularly, as my understanding of it goes. When you get too hungry your body kicks in the fat storing regime for future periods of no food. You may do better to up exercise and reduce eating to a "0.8 in, 1 out" calorie structure and have patience.

[DickyC]

At the current rate of progress all the souvenirs will be with members before the Anniversary!


[Instead of the all-over-the-show shambles that has typified previous celebrations. The slices of cake dispatched apres célébration in Jiffy Bags being a particular low point.]

My current mug needs an upgrade...I'd like one, Dicky

Paypal, instant or cash..whatever suits you, boss.

You've decided to simply ignore my text demand for thirty eight million euros. Very wise.

Fret not, you're already on the list between Evo and Fishtigua.

I'll have to find out about the P&P.

That's very kind of you to point that out. However, I'm not really on a diet.

I'm going to have the afternoon off.

It's a surprise to me, too. But there we are. Spur of the moment and all that.

I'll go home and see if anyone recognises me.

Anticipate radio silence from me for a few hours as I beat a path eastward.

Waiting for Swansea to sort my personal number plate out, takes ages.

Work finished. I have nothing to do for the rest of the day.

Bored.

My Father's car was written off in an accident the third week of October last year. Two days after he'd paid for 12 months of tax to commence on the 1st Nov. He got his private plate documents around Christmas. Last month he was still waiting the the tax rebate...

Unless I am mistaken and the towers use an alternative alphabet, in what universe does R sit between E and F

Unless it's ERF . Are they now the TT prime mover of choice?
