Is "I'm dry humping my laptop screen" inappropriate?

Can you boil water with that thing, or is it just to keep water warm? (P.S. Very nice! You've got an awesome setup there)

Scruff, you can boil water but if you want to drink tea today, I would recommend boiling the water on the stove first and then use the lamp to keep it at tea temp. It takes over 20 min for me to boil water in it unfortnately!

A glorious set up. My skin's just turned a particularly electric shade of lime, I'm so jealous.

Hey Wes, it works just fine. I've had a drainage tray before and they seem to hold up

That is some very nice tea equippage; I am particularly envious of your fish cups. I love their shape.

I plan to invest in some fish cups eventually. But I bet I'm the only one with the matching art!
