It's a kind of small candle.

But I think tea time and tea break are redundant.

I thought the word was "sex."

I find it interesting that so many people here claim to have had their IQ tested.

What I think would be more interesting is to know if those tests were formal IQ tests or not.

In Australia, it's very rare for someone to be formally tested because IQ testing is considered to be generally unrepresentative of a persons actual intelligence. That is to say, you might score well, but be totally useless in other situations. Education and vocational training is tending to follow gardiner's theory of multiple intelligences which is probably a lot more realistic in every day situations.

Most kids that are formally IQ tested tend to be tested because they have learning issues. IQ tests are also used to determine disorders such as aspergers and autism. They're not used to predict how many A's a kid is going to get on their next test.

Tea lights are those little candles in a metal cup.

Exsqueeze me? Nothing redundant about a tea break. Certainly nothing redundant about tea time. Case in point, a text conversation this very afternoon:

me: you wanna do friday drinks? tea time at the Hairy Lemon. I'll scurry up the puzzlers

friend: ok but J not there til later. 5.30 at the lemon.

See? tea time on this occasion was half five.

Any time is tea time!

Speaking of tea, I hosted a high tea at my place last Saturday complete with cucumber sandwiches.

It went over very well with the girls.

Did you cut the crusts off?

Of course! I also had little asparagus roll ups with snow pea sprouts and hollandaise sauce. I had little cakes and chocolates and about 6 different types of tea to choose from. I even had cake stands!

God I'm hungry.

Yeah me too. I just put some left over lasagne in the microwave. :)

Cucumbers have crusts?

Long Island Ice Tea is about the closest I get to a tea party in Texas, girls. Well, there's Sweet Tea, too . . .

And, BTW Aliantha: I :heartpump lerts!

GABBLY IS DOWN THERE (points down there )

What, yours don't?

Do you want a chat Jimbo?

I might be wrong. Cucumber's a vegetable, and I don't fraternize with vegetables.
