It was about you, too!

He wasn't particularly helpful, though. Oh well. :P

gah! what was the question/answer?

brittlepoetry October 21 2006, 22:44:23 UTC

Ebay didn't help, sadly. Perhaps you will never receive anything for Christmas. I'll give you a box of tissue to wipe away your tears. :P

Neil is bold, I'm not.

(I'm working my way slowly back over the last few weeks of unanswered stuff)...

Hi, Neil, this is a little off topic, but I thought it would be right up your alley. I am in England for the year studying abroad, and my fantasy-and-macabre-loving artist best friend has given me a mission: to find a teacup, and preferably also a saucer, to bring home to her. This comes with the disclaimer that the teacup and saucer have to be in the very least odd-looking. Do you know of any shops in Blighty or the rest of Britain that sell strange/wacky/interesting teacups? I would be most thankful for any help.

Well if it was teapots you wanted, I'd point you to the coolest teapots in the world, at http://www.andytitcomb.com/current/current.html. (Last time I linked there I crashed the site, though. So don't all click on it at once.) If I wanted an odd teacup and saucer though I would probably poke around junk shops, or possibly just go to to ebay. ( ... )

But I'm not looking for a teapot, that's the thing!

Ooh, awesome!

The padlock securi-tea teapot made me chuckle. Oh, puns. (Now I want one. A wacky teapot, not a pun.)

brittlepoetry October 22 2006, 03:25:01 UTC

I want the frog or the padlock one, but sadly that's quite a bit of money for either one and I'm not in the market for a teapot. :P

Yeah, I skimmed over the prices. But I now I recall them and realize -- wow, those are some damn expensive teapots.
