I don't like drinking from cups that advertise - I banned drug co freebies from previous workplaces.

But generally, if it's coffee in the morning, or tea in the afternoon, I really don't mind too much what it's in, so long as it's made well.

I meant it might have been a proper word, not in some daft language with random letters ;)

And v Welsh indeed, btw.

My favourite mug has a cartoon of a golfer wearing flippers and a snorkel going into "Deep Wate" with his golf club (Yes, veerry droll ::-))

The reason it is my favourite is because it holds a whole pint of tea (breifly :P)

I do feel very cheated when I buy a pot of tea in a cafe and get less tea than I can get into my favourite mug though :'(

Fairly standard, 1/3 pint mug. Purloined from my previous employers.  :o

Don't like the company issue mugs - plus no one else has one so it's instantly recognisable.

My mug has caused great hilarity at work.  It was a Christmas present from Mrs Nutty - I think she was trying to tell me something...

The cat's learnt to drink from my cup, which peed me off no end, so I got a mug with a photo of a dog on it to try scare them off. It didn't work, so now I'm stuck with a Hana Deka mug featuring a small puppy

Hell, you've just reminded me: I've been so busy trying to sort out mean-spirited and inconsiderate people (and browsing here to calm down), that I forgot to go get a cup of that Java I brewed.  Hope there's some left! :o

"Don't mourn - Mobilise ! 10th anniversary of 1976 Soweto Uprisings"

That must be a bit of a collectors' item now.  I've had it 23 years and used it as my everyday mug for many years.

I have a nice hand thrown one I bought many years ago in Eton with a large snail on the side of it. Before that I had one made by a friend at work, but the cleaner broke it :-\

All my mugs have to be left-handed.

I recently stopped have a 'my mug' and just get what ever comes out of the cupboad, that way I don't get upset when someone uses my cup.

I have a big mug with a cow on it.  Mrs Z bought it for me to stop me drinking tea out of a pint glass, an excellent habit I picked up from the heir to the Marshalls paving slab empire.

Late breaking news, my birthday yesterday brought with it an 'upgrade' on the mug front.  I have now been elevated to 'World's greatest Farter'.  Ye Gods.

A big dark brown one that Mrs Cudzo got from work, holds over half a litre. And a little one from an acquaintance in Vilnius, with a view of that city on it.
