Mug of the Day

Submitted for the approval of the Mug Society, here is my mug!

It’s a very special one because it has my face on it (well, a cartoon! Yes I wear bowties! Bowties are cool!) We made these at the Web Development agency I set up in 2009.

We all had one, and it was a really cool idea because not only did you never get the mugs mixed up but also we had listed on them the kinds of drinks we like, so you didn’t have to ask if you forgot.

We even made them for staff that joined us for work experience, and they got them to keep after :blush:



The company is closed now and it merged with a bigger company, when I left after 11 years - but that is another story!

That’s morbid dark humour, and I love it!

Poor kids! Surely they can’t be that bad!

When I saw the “black, no sugar” on your cup, all I could think of was Romana saying “two lumps, no sugar” in Shada :laughing:

Is it a Michael Scott situation or did you get it from your kids?

“Keep drinking!”
“Don’t give up!”

That is the most Finnish bottle I’ve seen. Are you sure Finnish people generally use that for water? :eyes:

@Tian I get a bunch of that stuff every year from my boys :joy: I got a T-shirt and matching cap with “Super Dad” written on them this year. They love finding that corny, clichéd stuff for me - but (claim to) hate it when I wear it in public, so naturally I do just that as much as I can :grin:
Who doesn’t aspire to be like Michael Scott??? :wink:

It’s a water bottle, but you can fill it with anything. Perfect for these long, cold and dark winter days :wink:

And just you wait .- when they grow up to be teenagers, toy might not get very many “Super Dad” shirts anymore :smiley: enjoy it while it lasts!

Semi-Co-opting the thread to talk about the Tea Bag Advent Calendar I’ve been working through every day!

It’s been absolutely lovely so far! (with the one exception of yesterday’s peppermint and licorice)

Ah - the fabled Sports Direct mug. As I said to you before the Quiz, every school staffroom has one of those.

Eugh. Flavoured Tea. Hot water with the vague fragrance of whatever is written on the packet.
