Well, not entirely incorrect. El Reg makes up some of the comments, and also some of the trollish replies, and probably a few down votes. Flames equal traffic etc.
As far as contests, I never see there is a winner. The date passes, and no announcement. Are the winners too embarrassed to admit to winning a contest from El Reg and names aren't published?
No, no, no, no! You don't warm the mug. You warm the teapot! Then you make tea in the teapot, and then pour it into the mug. That way there's the all-important second cup of tea waiting for you, when you've finished number one.
I'd also suggest using loose leaf tea, but I don't want to risk sounding like the Tealiban.
I prefer the teapot so I can have 2 cups. But it really comes into its own when you've got a few people over, as it's stilly to be trying to make 5 or 6 cups at once in individual mugs.
Isn't the red stuff not actually tea, but from a completely different plant? I am no expert. I keep meaning to try some, and see what it's like. I've been on a tea experimenting binge for the last year, I've decided I like darjeeling, and the occasional earl grey. I've even decided I quite enjoy a fruit tea. I've got some proper fruit tea from Tea Palace, which is ordinary black tea with pieces of dried fruit in it, which is lovely, as well as some of the usual not-actually-tea stuff.
