I've had various different versions of this over the last 20 years.
None werk so well as a well matured teapot. Present teapot holds 8
mugfuls, wot is more than the kettle. I need a kettle bigger than 3
pints wot switches itself off.

Knitted space shuttles?

Come to think of it, they might be more durable at that.

I was on a Mercadian oil rig supply ship in the Gulf.. There were 2
chamines for dispensing beverages in the mess, both with those fishtank
thingies on top with go roundy thingmerts inside. Anyway, one contained
orange juice and the other contained what I took to be Cola. So I poured
meself a cup and took a big swig. UAB in spades, I nearly spat it all over
the floor.

The message
from Egbert Egret contains these words:

Please explain then, why i can never find a teaspoon? I don't take
sugar
in tea, cocoa, etc (and don't drink coughy) and use very little in
anything else. (Except when I'm winemolishing, in which case I tend to
hfr a shovel.)


Then why do you need a teaspoon?


OK, smartarse, how do /you/ get earwax from your ear into the storage jar?

You get your servants to suck it out of course.

Yep, I agree.
The problem with those gadgets is, I think, thermal capacity.

One can add extra boiling water to a pot of tea without detriment
provided that it is done quickly (ie soon after the first lot) and
that one has not drained the pot first.
Also it must be done quietly behind curtains.
