Nobody drinks tea that strong, I know I don't.

It needs tinkering with

It's brown all the way top te top - that's not the colour of the tea but the inside of a very trea-stained mug.

*to the top

I don't drink tea only black coffee and i prefer white wine Smile but i do enjoy a Biscuit now and again Wink

Could be coffee?
I like to my tea to be strong enough to stand a spoon in it! Must be my Northern roots Grin

It's the cannabis leaf on the front that amuses me.

I wonder if MNHQ are trying to get us all to chill out? Grin

lemonbeaver · 02/03/2011 11:39

what about a cake emoticon?

I keep seeing this 'brew emoticon' and all that springs to mind is a nice cold can of Spesh Blush

ApocalypseCheeseToastie · 02/03/2011 11:41

It's not coffee, you don't refer to coffee as 'brew'

I absolutely love the fact that it looks like a cannabis leaf, please stop picking on it

nickelbabe · 02/03/2011 11:44

hot chocolate could easily be that colour.

stretch · 02/03/2011 11:44

Ah, I didn't think of the brew bit, I just thought, 'hot beverage'.

worraliberty · 02/03/2011 11:45

On the contrary, I'm trying to squeeze the last droplets out of it Grin

ApocalypseCheeseToastie · 02/03/2011 11:47

Only tea is referred to as 'brew'

Therefore it is tea.

Doh you mean the brown bit at the top.... OK fine with me if you want that do be a lighter shade... try the Furrow & Ball palette for inspiration Grin

Looks like all the tea stained mugs we have at work (with the exception of the cannabis leaf). We work on the principle that a good dose of germs every day keeps us healthy.

A brew can be tea or coffee, that's why it's such a useful word.

nickelbabe · 02/03/2011 11:58

don't know why they chose "brew" think it was a vote.

i liked "cuppa" best.

QueenOfFuckingEverything · 02/03/2011 12:10

YY [cuppa] would mean a cuppa.

Brew invokes wobbly days gone by of park benches, dogs-on-strings, and smoking roll ups.

Nagoo · 02/03/2011 12:11

my god I need new glasses or a bigger screen.

ApocalypseCheeseToastie · 02/03/2011 12:12

It's bugging me, it needs changing should go to the vote

Brew s'not right

ApocalypseCheeseToastie · 02/03/2011 12:17

There ya go

OP posts:
TryingVeryHard · 02/03/2011 12:17

that's because it's the wrong paint Grin

ApocalypseCheeseToastie · 02/03/2011 12:18

Natural calico is the way to go imo

Personally I think a spew emoticon would have been much more useful.
