I've got another one, too - a pink one that says "Perfectly Twisted", so I'm not sure which ride it's associated with - that's a more traditional shape, but the only photo I have is a really unflattering one of me, so I don't want to post it!
They're known as "weekend mugs" in my house, because we don't get time to drink that much coffee on a weekday morning!

Ah, well, that's a shame.  I can use mine any day of the week, sat in front of the TV with my laptop.

I need a cup with a lid, really, so I can take it onto the train with me!

I got the polo shirt from the show, but the mug came from the Birmingham office on one of my visits there.

Didn't they give you a mug after the show? Right at the end, when the punters were gone and the team was crashed out on the sofas in the MM stand exhausted? I thought we'd all got one then.
Alex: A few years back, there was a Micro Mart Computer Fair at the NEC in Birmingham. It was great fun, but knackering...

Ah, right. I had to leave before the finish -- had a prior appointment. Sounds like I missed out on all the fun! It was a great show, though -- I really enjoyed it, answering all the punters' questions. Shame it's not been feasible to do another one.
