Tea? (Part 1)

[wafflycat]

Earl Grey? ooh, no, thanks. Much too perfumed. Lady Grey tea is bearable, but I like my tea to tase of tea. The only acceptable alternatives to bog-standard proper tea (leaves, not bags) are jasmine tea, green tea and spiced tea (bags okay here...). Herbal teas are okay. But Earl grey is *yukky*

Ringtons Tea. Now there's proper tea!

Can I suggest that Ms Speicher has the honour of making the 2000th post?

Oh well...

One of my friends won't have anything else. She even took a stock to Mexico when we went for a conference and did a roaring trade at breaktimes, because the conference centre only had fruit tea bags and there was a large British contingent getting withdrawal symptoms.

Doctor, would you like a mat to stand on, only you're dripping on the carpet. And perhaps, just for the sake of propriety, you could make use of this teatowel....

Is this a reference to a TV programme?

*racks brain*

The adventure game on BBC? Vaguely remember that...

Yes! Dronga, dronga....

Yes! Dronga, dronga....

Gronda, gronda actually. I've sure you've just said something terribly rude. *covers Uncle's hearing fronds*

Thank you.

*takes teatowel*

*Blows nose*

*hands teatowel back*

Bloody cold. All these showers aren't helping. Anyway * towels off, eases self into clothes* if no-one wants any Earl Grey I'll drink it myself.

*Wipes eyes*

*Realises was naked in room full of people*

*Hopes was bad dream*

*realises wasn't*

Damn! You're right. Oops!

The drogna was the 'currency', wasn't it. I'm sure they used every available anagram.

Oh dear, missed it. I will watch more closely for the 3000th post.I will try and esteamate when that will be. *note in diary for ? tries to extrapolate the exponentiality of the rate of increase in Tea? thread.*
Need a strong cuppa now.

I think that honour should go to LOTP, but where is he when he is needed?

Good stuff that Ringtons Tea. I grew up on it!

Bizarrely, over in email land today, I was discussing with a friend whether he could hide his <ahem> modesty behind a tea bag. I suggested not. I felt it was the polite thing to say (not having seen the <ahem> modesty in question).

Mind you, after a cold shower, maybe....

Yes, it was. I could never work out what the exchange rate was...

Spikes - you was gazumped by Waffles!
