ARRRGH .. too lazy buy a teapot , so I'm boiling water in the micrawave
for my cup of Nescafe


Someone should invent a mug that does not get hot along with the water.

1. My dear UndertheOcean!
I don't think that's lazy!

I think it's a very good way to boil water...fast and efficient!

Enjoy your Nescafe!

3. Would it surprise you to know
good mugs are designed to get hot quickly and remain hot for long periods of time. It keeps the bevvy hot longer and improves flavor.

4. I was gonna say "yuck", since microwave heated water ain't the same,
but since you're just making Nescafe (:scared:) with it, it doesn't matter how you boil the water.

6. Or even add the Nescafe.
Might just as well heat the mug up on the stove until it explodes, and drink nothing.

14. The stopping train arrived at Swindon at 8:19
owing to annual point maintenance at Wisborough Junction, so how did you make the 8:13 which left 6 minutes earlier?

17. But the 7:16 Football Special only stops in Swindon on alternate Saturdays
Surely you mean the Holidaymaker Special?

18. That's the only way available here at work...
...no hot water spigot on the coffeemaker. But I use a little pint-sized glass "micro-kettle" to pour nuked hot water over the bag of Egyptian Licorice Mint tea I have awaiting me
