Spoon, teabag tweezers or fingers?<br /><br /> I use the finger approach. Quickly whipping them into the hot tea and pulling the bag out, then a quick squeeze to get the last dregs of flavour out, before throwing it away. It has the benefit of less washing up and means I don't have to get a spoon out of the spoon drawer.<div class="edit_text">EDITED: 25 Sep 2014 08:23 by GRAPHITONE</div> </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=41209.43&return_msg=41209.41" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="41209.43"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a41209_44"></a><div class="message" id="message_41209_44"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: ANT_THOMAS<span class="message_time">25 Sep 2014 08:30</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: graphitone <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 25 Sep 2014 09:01"></span></span> <span class="message_count">44 of 256</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41209.44">41209.44</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41209.41#a41209_43" target="_self">41209.43</a></div> <div class="message_body"> Spoon, a few real good presses/squeezes against the side then in the bin and definitely not in the sink.<br /><br /> Those people who put used teabags in the sink will be the first to go come the revolution.</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=41209.44&return_msg=41209.41" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="41209.44"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a41209_45"></a><div class="message" id="message_41209_45"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: graphitone<span class="message_time">25 Sep 2014 09:07</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: ANT_THOMAS <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 25 Sep 2014 09:21"></span></span> <span class="message_count">45 of 256</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41209.45">41209.45</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41209.41#a41209_44" target="_self">41209.44</a></div> <div class="message_body"> <span class="emoticon e_nod" title="(nod)"><span class="e__">(nod)</span></span><br /><br /> These 'sinkers' have no place in a modern /polite/ society.<br /><br /><br /> You can go a step further and compost teabags, my mother-in-law swears by them for her azaleas. <span class="emoticon e_plain" title=":|"><span class="e__">:|</span></span><div class="edit_text">EDITED: 25 Sep 2014 09:08 by GRAPHITONE</div> </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=41209.45&return_msg=41209.41" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="41209.45"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a41209_46"></a><div class="message" id="message_41209_46"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: 99% of gargoyles look like (MR_BASTARD)<span class="message_time">25 Sep 2014 09:37</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: graphitone <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 25 Sep 2014 11:23"></span></span> <span class="message_count">46 of 256</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41209.46">41209.46</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41209.41#a41209_43" target="_self">41209.43</a></div> <div class="message_body"> I use the string that's attached.
