Mugs are one of the best things for holding tea and coffee in, often people have a favourite mug that they use more often than the other mugs, this is known as someone’s favourite mug, often they have hilarious things written on their mug like ‘DON’T TALK TO ME TILL I’VE HAD COFFEE’, often people will talk to them before they’ve had coffee and they are usually perfectly fine. Some other mugs have lovely pictures on, like a lobster playing the double bass, that’s not two fish that’s the musical instrument. I have a mug that’s says ‘My other mug hasn’t got a handle!’
Amazingly, mugs are a recent invention, invented in 1982 by Sir Terry Mug, when he decided he had enough of drinking his morning brew out of his hat.
Some of the biggest mug’s in the world are the ones they have in Sports Direct, no one knows why they sell mugs but they do.
Has anyone taken their mug outside instead of a Thermos cup, did you receive a hostile reaction, people shouting ‘That’s an indoor mug you idiot!’
Or maybe you’re a cup and saucer type person and you hold your little finger out at a jaunty angle when you sip your Earl Grey. Often people dip things called biscuits into their mugs, many arguments have kicked off over what biscuit is best for dunking, experts warn the answer is still along way off, but there’s a strong theory it’s Hob Nobs, although other scientists say there’s a strong case for Rice Tea, but this is more in line with string theory in quantum physics.
So what do you have on your favourite mug, tell us why it’s your favourite mug and whether you have a back up to your favourite mug, in case, heaven forbid you were to drop it ?

I would be lynched by some of the members of the tractor club I belong to if they knew I have the logo of another make of tractor on my favourite mug! It`s only my favourite because it`s a bigger than normal one! |

My favourite mug is such a favourite I bought a second one for my desk at work. It's turquoise with a fox on it which is slightly 3D.
My back-up mug has "Lord of the Manor" on it, seeing as I live in a manor house. |

Is it yellow ?"
No, they missed a trick there - it’s white. I’m not sure what the technical design team were thinking if I’m honest with you. Just can’t get the staff these days. |

I have a mug which says 'i moosent forget my morning coffee' also it has a cartoon moose on it. It's a play on words as moose and must sound similar.
I also have a mug which says 'death before decaf' which is self explanatory as decaf is the sweat from Satan's balls and should not be d*unk. Ever.  |

‘Hey guys, what colour do we usually associate with sunshine or the sun ?‘
‘I think it’s white!’
‘You sure you’re not thinking of snow?’
‘Nope, definitely white for sunshine!’
‘Ok, let’s roll out 10,000 white sunshine mugs!’ |

My favourite mug used to be my Norwich mug but I’ve stopped supporting Norwich because they’re shit and fans of Norwich are fucking weird too.
AND as soon as I stopped being a Norwich fan, the bottom of the Norwich mug fell out 
Shit club, shit mug |

"I don't have a favourite mug. I don't have any mugs.
That’s great "
I only read up to the 2nd comma and thought I really don't give a fuck about mugs (I should have a mug with that written on it. Not 'That' but that). |

Well it's hardly Dostoevsky (he had a mug with 'I  Raskolnikov' written on it). |

My work mug is actually a large cup as in cup and saucer/china tea cup type. Its white with blue vintage flowers. A member of my team treated me to it as a surprise.
At home I have a pastel pink mug, we have a set of 6 mugs in 3 colours (pink, grey and cream). I have the pink and Mr has the grey but if those are in the wash then the reserve cream mugs are used.
We have travel mugs, mine is a clear plastic costa mug with red glitter in between the layers of plastic. Mr has the metal costa travel mug.
We have enamel camping mugs, mine is a pastel pink one which says 'Queen of the garden' and his is navy and says 'King of the garden'.
It's odd how we become creatures of habit.... but I now want a new mug for at home

My favourite ever mug was a free one I got from Richer Sounds when I bought my first amplifier. It had a black and white cartoon Richer Sounds shop on it with lots of hifi bargains in the window.
Tragically that one vanished in the 'you will all use company branded mugs' purge many years ago.
I picked up a replacement mug from Richer Sounds a few years ago (they are free, you just have to ask for one) but this one just said Cambridge Audio on it and there was a blue abstract picture. Whilst it was an excellent mug, it just didn't hold the same place in my heart.
At home I have 2 favorites (because the washing up doesn't get done that quickly). My no1 choice was a white mug, with a rainbow and the message 'Jesus is my best friend' that my daughter was given at a jumble sale one day. Second favourite has the faces and logo from the 1980s game Guess Who? Sadly both of these have been consigned to a cupboard in the utility room because we now have coordinating brown IKEA mugs Whilst they do an admirable job containing the beverage, the coffee doesn't taste quite as sweet.
Great question, thanks for asking (and the history lesson) OP, and thanks for reading my story of mug disappointment. |

"I have two workshop mugs one has a cutaway technical drawing of an engine on it the other in big capitals has
“HERE TO HELP” on it then under in small italics
“Only joking, fuck off!”
S"
Haha that’s like the one my sister bought my mum for Xmas two years ago. Was plain white but underneath it said cunt!
When she was drinking her tea my and my sister were pissing ourselves, so much so that my sister spat tea all over the cat |

My favourite mug is a large one which is great for my coffee. It has a stylish Puffin painted on the side and was a gift from my colleagues in Guernsey when I first worked there |

I do have a favourite mug and the thought of it breaking concerns me greatly. I even move it when it's at the front of the cupboard as my mugternal instinct kicks in and I picture the cupboard door closing with too much force and breaking the handle.
I am now going to check the cupboard to ensure it's safe.  |

Mine is a mug, with the Simpsons on, saying "Damn TV! It ruined my imagination, just like it ruined my ability to, uh, um..." - but in Italian
It was a present from my grandparents, both long dead, so the mug is a memory of them. Must be nearly 25 years old now

My favourite mug I smashed at the beginning of the year. It was the perfect shape and had a gold geometric pattern on it.
My current favourite SHAPED mug is tall and has a friendship bear on it. My favourite SAYING mug says winging it.
I believe mugs say a lot about a person |

We have lots of mugs and S has explained his Simpsons one above, but I don't really have a special favourite. Maybe the one that says No.1 mum from a young lady from Ecuador, whom I "adopted" while she studied here in the UK. It was so lovely to receive because she isn't my offspring - she wasn't obligated to get me a novelty mug for Mother's Day, nor to take me out for brunch, but that's how much she valued the support I gave her. She's back home working now, Masters in hand |

Hahahaha - that's absolutely savage!
My favourite mug is one I got when I visited the Leaning Tower of Pisa. It has a picture of the tower on the side, and the mug itself is on the wonk. I probably wouldn't be that bothered if it broke - I'm sure Amazon have them at £1 a pop if I really wanted to replace it. I'd probably just move onto another mug. Maybe get one that says 'Keep calm and forget your shit broken Leaning Tower of Pisa mug'.
I've got a Sports Direct mug too. I got it free when I bought some shorts. I did think why have they sent me this?, it's far too big to drink tea out of. Who wants a pint of tea? It'll be cold before you got to the bottom.
