Favourite mug

coylygirl · February 15

I'm loving slogans at the moment (manic) and I've bought some new mugs. I have a pint mug which says I

my tea, another I'm silently correcting your grammar; I play squash to stay sane; sassy since birth and I speak fluent sarcasm, I also have now panic and freak out! They really make me and the crisis team smile. What is your favourite mug?

My favourite is my dolphin mug by artist steven brown no slogan on tho just picture

coylygirl · February 15

Ah that sounds lovely, I used to have a have a year of the monkey porcelain mug. I'm just loving the sound-bites atm

janer1967 · February 15

I have the picture in my lounge and also a purse all of same design

coylygirl · February 15

You love your dolphins obviously. I swam with wild dolphins at Monkey Mia in Australia in 1984. What an experience, but it's banned now, which is probably for the good

janer1967 · February 15

Yes I love them I swam with them in florida and in majorca and seen them in wild in tenerife

coylygirl · February 15

Don't they just make you want to cry with joy? x

janer1967 · February 15

Sure do

My favourite mug (apart from myself lol) is one I bought from Card Factory in Meadowhall about 11 years ago, that says "Not a morning person", and it's right I never have been.

I have two chalkboard mugs that you can write/draw on with chalk. They're useful for jotting down how people take their hot drinks, and can be fun to doodle on too. I'll have to steal and write on some of your slogans @coylygirl!

coylygirl · February 16

Oh they sound wonderful. will have to look out for a couple x

Ross_Scope · February 16

I speak fluent sarcasm is genius

My favourite mug is my Harry Potter cauldron mug, because it makes me fee like a wizard, and it holds quite a lot of liquid

coylygirl · February 16

That's why I love my pint mug! Drinking tea like it's going out of fashion atm. I like your cauldron - hubble, bubble, toil and trouble! Do you make any special potions?

I'm a proud Yorkshireman, tea is always considered a special potion

I won't don't worry

I like mine moderate, not strong, not weak.

I'm a coffee guy really, not too hot, mid strength, loads of milk and no sugar.

Adrian_Scope · February 22

I don't think I've ever actually bought a mug but we've a cupboard full of mismatched mugs that have been gifted to us over the years. Everything from fancy glass ones, crude puns, a large number of kids novelty mugs and of course the oversized Sports Direct mug. I'm currently drinking coffee from a Star Wars-themed Yoda mug.

JenF · February 22

I've always had a favourite mug. When I was a student and had to go down the corridor for drinking water, I used a pint mug, and I went on using it for years afterwards.
Then I had one with flowers, which eventually consigned itself to mug heaven by loosing its handle whilst in use, and falling to the floor where it shattered.
Now I have another with sunflowers on it, and one plain blue one, which compete for my attention. The plain blue one was given to me by someone very dear, which is why its in the competition.
I also have an un-favourite mug, that I only use when builders are in the house. It's from an organisation on the occasion of their 100th anniversary, and I'd better not name them I suppose on a public board, but I find their logo truly uninspiring. Anyone else got a mug they don't want to use but can't get rid of because it was a gift?

Cress · February 22

Your post did make me laugh @JenF
I also have unloved mugs that are kept for workman....!

coylygirl · February 22

I love all your mug comments, I use mine dependent on my mood and to give the crisis team a giggle. My mug tree is now full, so no more mugging for me

Cress · February 22

Much was made of Boris Johnson offering a tray of mismatched mugs to reporters outside his home.

It was said by an "expert" on these things that only working and middle class people have matching mugs, not posh people!

So going by that @Adrian_Scope
Is v.posh!

I have matching sets and randoms dont know what that makes me, probably pretty average in the mug department..lol

I have to wonder who researches these things....

lisathomas50 · February 22

I have sets of mugs and I have random mugs I have 1920s ladies on three of my mugs Betty boop on four mugs a set of red mugs and a set of black mugs I also have a tea set

Mugs are for my coffee and hot choclate and my teaset for my Earl grey tea or lady grey tea

I also have tea pot cups which I like

coylygirl · February 22

Oh I love a teapot cup, sadly mine is for show. I used to like matching sets of everything but find that the chaos of my mind now relates tot he random

lisathomas50 · February 22

My mum started me off on them mum used to collect them before her dementia I love them teapot cups are fab and come in all different designs

coylygirl · February 22

I have one that matches my matching mug set, which is now consigned to the cupboard in favour of my non-matching slogans.

Ami2301 · February 22

My favourite mug has to be the one Ewan got for me last Christmas, but I better not say it on a public forum

lisathomas50 · February 22

@Ami2301 ha ha lol if it's anything like my monkey cup lol when you put hot water in it 🤣

Ami2301 · February 22

It's not a heat-changing one, it just has four letters on it with a full stop between each letter. The only clue i will give is that as I'm now a mum, I can be called this certain slang term

Cress · February 22

Hands up....Miss I know!!

Lol

lisathomas50 · February 22

Oh that word lol 😆 xx

Oh yes, I'm very posh!

I had to look up the clip of Boris offering his mugs and you'll be delighted to know we also have the same taste in mugs. It's good to know the PM is as much a fan of Cadbury's Mini Eggs as I am.

coylygirl · February 25

I wish he'd had one of my mugs with the slogan "I speak fluent sarcasm"

coylygirl · February 25

Or even better "I'm silently correcting your grammar"

66Mustang · February 27

I have been using this mug a lot which I got for Christmas. It has a sketch of a Lotus Elise on it.

66Mustang · February 27

Also some mugs with Land Rovers on them

coylygirl · February 27

These look like aspirational mugs!

66Mustang · February 27

Hehe

I bought my daughter in law one for her 40th that says "Dear daughter-in-law, thank you for not selling my son to the circus, I know how tempting that was some days, Love your mother-in law. Cost me a fortune but so worth it

coylygirl · February 27

Oh I'm with you, if I see the right caption, just gotta have it. And that is so funny

Sandy_123 · February 27

My favourite hot liquid holder, I had to say that as it's not a mug as such, but I got it from Costa coffee shop and it keeps the tea, coffee hot for ages, I don't like normal mugs as they go cold too quick.
Just had my son a mug done with his picture on saying Adams birthday mug.

vikingqueen · February 27

@Ross_Scope if you knew my son you would see why I got it her, he's 40 going on 16....I don't think he'll ever grow up

Favourite mug
