Calling All Fortune Tellers !

[mikey4444]

Following on from an interesting debate over on News, can anyone tell me how people are telling fortunes by the study of tea leaves, a method very popular in my younger days, when we are all using tea bags these days ?

Does it matter if the bags are round, square or pyramid shaped ?
Personally I am a Twinings man myself, and am firmly in the square camp.

You have to cut open the teabag, mikey :-)

Thanks boxy...I hope that is the definitive answer on this thread...in fact,
I am going to give you Best Answer !

Haven't ever felt rather 'hemmed in' in life, Mikey? That's because your tea leaves are all bound together by those silly little bags. Use loose tea and free your spirit!

Be careful, Mikey. Some dictionaries give 'square' as a synonym for 'conservative', and that would never do for you, would it?

Does the "pure stupidity" option for reporting threads still exist?

[mikey4444]

Actually Buenchico, I always used to use proper tea leaves but have now got out of the habit because bags are so much more easy for use in a caravan.
You can only spend so much time, prostrate under your 'van, poking around with a bent coat hanger, to clear the blockages, before it becomes tedious and boring !

I can't see that this thread is any more stupid than all those ones from Goodlife but ......go ahead jeffa...its a free world !

Many, many years ago my mother decided to have a tea leaf reading in my house...with a rather cranky tea leaf reader....

I made the nibbles and cake and left the tea to my mother....as we got to the end of the drink no-one had any tea leaves to read....

Mum had automatically used tea bags without thinking and the cranky lady hit the roof... we had got her there to take the p**s.....who did we think we were...on and on.

We had to pay up to get rid of her......☺

Thank you mikey, I am honoured :-)

Isn't this just monkey business? ;-)

[Baldric]

Don't see a problem, you can still buy Loose Tea Leaves.

[agchristie]

Jeffa,im still laughing at your post! I sensed things were getting strained lol :-D

[jeffa]

You're just milking it now...

[agchristie]

Ha ha! A tea leaf may steal the thread for you Jeffa ;-)

[mikey4444]

Thanks everybody...enjoyed all your replies !

Mikey, I knew you were going to ask this question....... and I knew I was going to be late in responding.

[mikey4444]

I predict that I am going to have to start calling you Gypsy Rose Lee Naomi!
