Deary me, I don't know what happened to the Honourable East India Company..

Haven't you seen any Kung Fu movies? everyone involved with the East India company is an opium peddler.

Anyway, I love tea, but didn't drink it that often. I shall now, for I have discovered that I can boil a kettle without setting off my hyper-sensitive fire alarm.

Does the East India Company still produce Tea? If so, I must do my best to avoid them, out of Patriotic Duty. wink

The British East India Company was wound up on 1st January 1874.

To be honest, I prefer Lapsang Souchong to Earl Grey.

You make tea in the microwave? Are you crazy? What ever happened to the good old kettle and tea pot.

Ok, I have acquired some 'Le Petit Ecoulier' cookie things. Are these meant for Tea?

It is regrettable they're Frog cookies, but such could not be avoided.

Francis cannot answer questions at the moment. He is not back from the party last night, yet.

well Not all americans put their tea in a mug and put it in a microwave. Now you're just being streotypical. IF i made tea, I for one would brew it in a kettle, but seeing as how I'm not the one who makes tea at my house, I really shouldn't be talking... lol

well its just the water, really. no rocket science level of intelligence needed whee

1. fill up a mug of water
2. put in microwave for 2 and a half minutes
3. take out, put in tea bag and lemon/honey/milk/sugar/..salmon? hah ew.
4. drink it xd

you know what's a funny word? "dregs." lol, it's so coarse. it's one of those words that you repeat over and over, then it doesn't make sense anymore.

Last time I heard the word "dregs" it was a Royal Signals officer talking about officers of the Royal Artillery..

..I shouldn't comment though, really. They have very big guns.
