Yorkshire Gold! Any other kind of tea needs two tea bags. By the way, did you know I am the man who introduced the CONCEPT of the double tea bag to the United States?"<br /><br />Personally, I prefer Yorkshire Decaffinated. AND it's NOW on special offer for 160 bags at Tesco..... rush down! But it HAS to be Yorkshire. Leaves you with that decidedly SUPERIOR feeling. Ask Our Geoffrey (NOT Wainwright). Even MPP spent aeons as Professor at Sheffield University, no wonder he's so sure of hisself.<br /><br />And, yes, "Myris of Alexandria" is, in fact, part of a modern poem by a Poet of Some Repute. Google it, folks. But I think even Star Trek's robot "Data" would have a job on figuring out some of Myris's ever - cryptic Comments on 'ere.....

However, our problem is, it clearly isn't SEXY enough for our Sponsors (who, after all, did GUARANTEE us safe passage Home again as Heroes after our vastly extravagant Flight of Fancy). Who was that Ancient Egyptian Egyptian we met in the Wormhole back in '69?<br /><br />SPOCK: He called himself, rather grandly I thought, Myris of Alexandria, sir. Why? I don't follow your glacial drift.....<br /><br />KIRK: Because Myris, or whatever he calls himself, rated this part of the Planet very high in its Rhyolite with Jovian/ Jupiter Fabric Ratings - and we could be "Quids In" as well as Heroes of Several Universes as far as the better - looking ladies are concerned back on Earth. They so love their dangly ear - rings made out of the highly - sought - after Rhyolite with Jovian Fabric! Read the Primary Literature!<br /><br />SPOCK: I have sir, of course. My great - grandfather was Jupiter's most famed Geologist.<br /><br /> TonyHnoreply@blogger.com
