Loyalty Above Everything Else

I think those of us who own a Beau Peep mug should declare war on those who don't.

It still counts. And it's probably an improvement anyway.

You'll have to ask the local landfill site about that.  :(

So you're keeping it in specialised storage - even better.

War scares me.

Still have three fully functioning BP mugs, and one minus handle used as a pen holder.

I can't really say that the merchandising of Beau Peep has been a huge success. Over the 38 years of the strip's existence, I doubt if I've made more than 23 million quid. Actually, it's almost 23 million quid less than that. One of the minor successes was a Beau Peep fruit machine and part of the deal we made means that I have one in my office. I'm rather fond of it. The best bit came when one of them appeared in a pub scene on the TV series Peak Practice. It was a proud family moment because my wife's cousin, Shelagh McLeod, (check her out on Google) was a star of the show. I remember that night clearly.
"Look! There's my cousin, Shelagh!"
"Never mind that! Look! A Beau Peep fruit machine!"
That night didn't end well.

I've ordered one. Could you asked the army camped outside my door to go away?

They're all on a coffee break. Don't look - the deflected sunlight from the massed ranks of ten thousand yellow glazed mugs has been known to blind a man.

There are of course many Beau Peep mug-to-mug combat techniques, but Tarks is correct that it's only when they are used en-masse that their superiority as a weapon becomes all the more apparent. I remember an interview with a group of Peanuts fans who were caught up in the first cold-coffee salvo at the Battle of Doris' Arse.

So, let that be a lesson to you, young Buttcheeks - talking b*llocks is contagious.
I apologise, in advance.
