birdsofshoreRight, a matter of great pressing importance. Mr Birds broke my favourite mug for tea, and I need another one.
The last one had the Ace of Spades on for some reason, but I thought this time it would be nice to have a fannish mug. I had a hunt about online and didn't find anything relating to HP that I liked. They were mostly based around the films and not particularly nice graphics.
I thought of asking one of our lovely fanartists if they minded me getting some of their H/D art printed onto a mug, but that leaves me in the situation of having to explain to people like our babysitter, or my mother, why I have nekkid gay wizards or whatever on my mug. By the time I had explained, the tea would be cold.
So finally I looked at Sherlock mugs instead. Well! You can get a much better class of BBC Sherlock-related mugs than you can HP, apparently. I have narrowed it down to two, and now I can't decide.
There's this one, which is classic and chic and black and white, which appeals to me. I can't see myself having to explain anything about this mug, no matter who drops in.
Or there's this one, which is funny and has lots of lovely fannish injokes on it. It isn't gay wizards, but it's not exactly the sophisticated mug of a grown-up, either. And Mr Birds would ask what it all meant and I would tell him and he would sigh.
So, what to do? Over to you, my dear flist.

I think you should pay for one and Mr Birds for the other. Equality and all that jazz. Even though they're both your mugs it's part of the price he pays for the privilege of being allowed to be around your awesomeness ;)
