Mugs

A thread for mugs

We have these. In all the colours.



But so does everyone else I regularly have Teams calls with.

One of my sisters once lived with an evil housemate who nicked all her mugs when she moved out, so that year I just got my sister loads of mugs for her birthday, including the Shrewsbury 24 fundraiser mug that now seems impossible to find online except for one post of Diane Abbott modelling it:

She liked it, but considered that it wasn't really a mug that you could take into the office, which is probably fair enough.

I challenge anyone to find a more upsetting mug than this.

My favourite one...



I rescued it from a school I once worked at in London. "Rescued?" I hear you scoff, "You mean stole!" But no, I would not have stolen such a lovely thing. I found it languishing down inside the middle space of the main stairwell, full of rubbish and fagbutts and gum. I decided it was far too nice for such an ignominious fate, so ok maybe I did steal. I stole a filthy ashtray and restored it into a lovely hand-made mug.

My rule for mugs is that they must be white inside as I find a coloured inner mug makes it hard to tell what’s in the mug. And I don’t like that.

I have a few from races I’ve done over the years. Quite liked a mug as a souvenir better than a poxy medal.



Funny(ish) story about the race where I got the mug on the left. It was a half marathon somewhere just west of Salisbury, I had been running with a bloke for a mile or so and he said we’d see the badgers soon. I didn’t know what he meant as I thought badgers were nocturnal, turns out he meant these The Fovant Badges, Wiltshire | Educational Images | Historic England

My main mug though is a pint one which I use for morning coffee and it is decorated with various English historical landmarks

We have one of those!

Knowing full well my republican tendencies, my mate bought me this.

When my ex accidentally smashed it the bastard bought me a replacement.
It's not even worth anything

This is known as 'my haunted mug' in our house as it came from the Oxenham Arms on Dartmoor. Used to be a monastery, The Oxenham, has two standing stones in the building, and naturally is meant to be visited by things from beyond.

We stayed in the most haunted room. I asked Mrs V if she noticed anything weird that night. "No, just heard you get up for a wee". "I didn't get up for a wee". "Well something was moving around in the bedroom". "Righto." We're going back there next year.

Nice mug, though. Takes a pint of tea.

I've just ordered some of these for xmas presents, although I think il keep one for myself.

Found an impressively cursed mug at work this week:

There's a Little Britain mug behind that, just general terrible vibes in that kitchen.

And the state of that sink!

My favourite mug, a gift from one of my former students. Nice size.

Now relegated to ornamental duties because the glaze inside began to crack after a few years.

Shame I can't use 2 emoji - BIG likes for the Space 1999 eagles

There's a place in town where they've got a big mug on display that says "Jacques Derrida" in the style of the classic Sports Direct big mugs, think they've not got any for sale though. (I have not tried to buy the Derrida mug myself.)
On similar lines, I remember the CWU flogging these a while back:

My favourite mug was similar to this one. It broke though. I ordered a replacement off eBay, but I obviously didn't read the advert properly as it turned up and it was fucking huge - far too big to use

 

[farmerbarleymow]

All my mugs are random ones. Tend to buy them in museum shops now and again.

My pussycat Lady Gaga one - bought in a gift shop at Archway at least 12 years ago.
