The following Dodgers have been smited by the JDK for their crimes against Jam:
All the girls! for picking on the JDK and damaging his already delicate self esteem!
The Basserd Who Nicked Copper's Stuff For the offense of nicking Copper's stuff. You are a tw*t, whoever you are and we all hope you get run over by a tram in Nottingham. Or Liverpool. Or whereever else they have trams!
Copper For the crime of playing with her Wii instead of her Jammie pals!
One of the peculiarities of staying with my mother is the sheer number of mugs that get used throughout the day. I'm not sure if this is a phenomenon shared by other dishwasher users, but yesterday, they went through 27 mugs. I know, cos I counted 'em. Given that there is a maximum of three of us in the house at any given time (and there certainly weren't any visitors), am I wrong to think that this is unreasonable?
Anyway. The phenomenon is explainable. My parents insist on using a fresh mug every time they have a mug of tea or coffee. Even when they have two in very quick succession, the old mug goes in the dishwasher and a new cup comes out of the cupboard.
Personally, I think it's incredibly wasteful. But I could be wrong. Of course, my point of view is somewhat biased as I often nurse the same mug for 2 or 3 days (obviously it gets rinsed out after every... well most uses) before giving in and washing it properly.
So then. We haven't had a pointless poll for a while, so here it is! Woohoo.
My mum can actually give Mrs Doyle a run for her money in sheer tea making volume. The woman must asume that her children have bladders the size of hot air balloons!

My mum doesn't seem to make a vast quantity of tea, that I've noticed. In fact I've never seen her make tea at all. What she does produce is some odd urine-like substance with a splash of milk in. Tis foul, is what it is!.
I have a different 'too many mugs' issue... In spite of the of the fact that I live alone and could never use all of my clean mugs between washings, I seem to have ended up with 3 cupboards full of coffee mugs.
And, even with this enormous amount of coffee drinking paraphernalia, I never use more than one mug per day, and never less, but one new mug per day.
Right, then. Let's say, for argument's sake, that your Mom is correct in that you do indeed have a bladder the size of a hot air balloon. Would you then show it off in the Bristol Hot Air Balloon Celebratory Extravaganza deal, then?
