Hi Folks
I've just discovered this website and would like to put in a plea for some plain chocolate biscuis. Penguins, Kit - Kats etc are all milk chocolate. What about us plain chocolate lovers? Doesn't anyone think of us?
As for making sure my mug isn't used by anyone else - I've got one with nifty 50 on. As no - one here would admit to being that age it's never used by others.

Dear Nicey,
I use two tactics to ensure that nobody would use either of my two mugs, which lived permanently on my desk.
First, I choose mugs emblazoned with stuff that meant they could only be mine:
1) An Ipswich Town FC mug - I was definitely the only ITFC supporter in the office
2) A Linux Home Page Mug - bit of a teccy mug featuring a penguin but immediately identifiable as mine being the only Linux enthusiast in an office full of Solaris / Windows freaks.
My second tactic is that I use them several times every day but perhaps actually only wash them once a fortnight, resulting in a brown staining inside the mug. This means that if anyone was tempted to use my beautifully decorated mugs, they would have to wash them first.
I think we all know that mug thieves are by definition, lazy in nature and will pass over a dirty mug which they will have to wash for the nice clean one sitting on someone else's desk.
Great site, by the way. Iced Gems.... miniature biscuits or sweets?
Regards

PERSONAL MUG AWARENESS WEEK
I have a foolproof method for keeping my mug my own. I put my name on it and bob?s your uncle. Works every time and it protects your favourite mug regardless of its popularity. Now there are those that disagree with the effectiveness of this system and invariably, on closer examination, none of these people has been sufficiently thorough in undertaking the proper preparations essential for success in any venture of this type. And please, for the early stages do not underestimate the time involved
Step 1 - become the boss of the organisation?
