  1. "Tender"
    Teableau for 03/30/26

    'Friends are the flowers in the garden of life.' Noxious weeds, sharp stones, stinging wasps matter less when flowers are also there, lifting our spirits.

  2. Erster Gedanke: "Oh Scheisse, ich habe nen #Glaubenskrieg am Arsch."

    Aber ich bin noch muede,

    Also beantworten wir das mal ehrlich:
    Ich mag Earl Grey. Den von #Twinings.

    So jetzt ist es raus. Ich bin ein Barbar.

    Btw. ich praeferiere #vim vor #emacs.

  3. Customer service at #Twinings never responded to my two emails about this, and I checked a few days ago and it was still broken, but I checked again today and it was magically fixed so I was able to order more tea without paying for shipping.
    (For some reason the "standard shipping" option had been removed from the shipping page, so the only available option was UPS Ground which was not free, but the free option magically returned.)

  4. #TechIsShitDispatch
    I regularly place large orders of a particular variety of tea from the #Twinings website, because it's pretty much the only variety I drink and it's often hard to find in grocery stores.
    Shipping is supposed to be free for orders over $50.
    When I went to order tea several days ago, it said it was going to charge me $12 in shipping on a $54 order, after the "cart" page claimed shipping would be free.
    I emailed their customer support. So far no response.

    The cup and saucer pattern is called Magic Jungle, by Sakura, and it's from 1995.

  6. Well, crap. My #Twinings addiction is about to get even more expensive.

    Seriously, in a backhanded way I think this is a good thing. Someone must have explained to him, using small words, that #invading #Greenland would be a very bad idea. He's not capable of true understanding, of course, but he's easily bullied. Like #bullies usually are.

  10. "Gnome For the Holidays"
    Teableau for 12/26/25

    My mother-in-law adored gnomes. In her honor, I always incorporate them into Christmas.

    This goose trinket box carries inside it a necklace that is a tiny replica of this goose trinket box.

  12. "There Was An Old Woman Who Lived In a Shoe"
    Teableau for 11/22/25

    ...With so many children,
    She didn't know what to do.
    Once all of those kids Finally moved away,
    She got a rat terrier
    And enjoyed every day.

  13. CW: [server failure? image fails to post]

    Tried to make the box look like "not a dog's breakfast", something that would be ok for #BlackAndGold teabags to be sitting in.

    Failed. 10 minutes gone.

    [Getting a little fed up with attempts to post images failing]

  14. No, No No #Twinings - no point having compostable teabags if each is individually wrapped in metallic coated plastic. not buying again.

  15. CW: Tea drinkers supporting modern day slavery. Rainforest Alliance and Fairtrade are marketing scams.
  16. CW: Food, funny, language.

    @TheGentleKlingon from the #Europris chain's website:
    #Twinings Green Tea #Chai
    or, even worse, as it's called in the Norwegian product title: "Grønn te med chai" (Green tea with chai)

    The "Chai" is on a line below the "Green tea" header, so one could argue it's an alternative name, but if you compare it to other offerings from Twinings, the second line is usually used to describe the added flavour.

  17. Turns out #Twinings, famous for being the oldest UK #tea company (whose directors pushed for the initial legalisation of tea imports into Great Britain en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commutat ) now makes their tea... In #Swarzędz, in the suburbs of #Poznań.

  18. Few things make me as happy as having a proper cuppa of bagged english black tea ☕ #yorkshire #PGTips #typhoo #twinings
