        Oops. Re-read my post and realised it could be read as an insult. Wasn't intended as such, honest. I'll stick to thread title puns.

            This, possibly, if Gero's Scottish slang means what I think it does.

                  I always make tea in the mug. Two teabags, boiling water, and here's a thing for all you Londoners / south Eastern folks suffering hard water woes: if you put the milk in first you avoid that manky, scummy film on the top of your brew.

                  Try it, you might like it.

                    That is another side-effect but no-one should have the benefit as you should always use a bloody teapot!

                      I assumed that last time as well and then the poster disappeared and his post was deleted all without me asking. I actually think I am less sensitive than people think. I think it's the happy pills.

                        Mine was intended as a jokey reference to the other time but perhaps wasn't the best judged gag ever.

                          Is "bowfin" some kind of tuna?

                            "Bowfin'" derives from the underwhelming Steve Martin/Eddie Murphy Hollywood satire, Bowfinger.

                            Originally, Glaswegian cineastes would say "That is even worse than Bowfinger" to indicate disapproval or disappointment.

                            Over time, this became contracted in everyday usage to "That's Bowfin'."

                              A bowfin is a fish like a dogfish.

                              And Benjm. Totally believable.

                                I assume that final line was no accident, being as it was the feeble motto (voiced by Griff Rhys-Jones if I remember correctly) from the TV ad for this abomination:

                                  Something that gies you the boak is bowfin'. Something that causes you to spew yer guts in disgust, to hurl or chuck. Like dishwater/milky tea guff. Vomitus in a mug.

                                  Benjm deffo had a better story.

                                    It was an accident, as it goes. Plus that stuff genuinely was bowfin'. Almost as bad as the powdered lemon tea my dad drank for years, the bloody weirdo.

                                      You mean this. My Mum used to drink it too:

                                        That's the stuff. Bloody hell, that's caused a Proustian rush, back to before I lost my sense of smell. The sickly waft you'd get as soon as the hot water hit the powder.

                                        Bleurgh.

                                          I've never liked how PG Tips makes the water go yellow first, and brown later. Maybe those PG Tips monkeys put something in there.
