Sic transit gloria mug

[nmg]

Waaa! I've just managed to drop and break the handle off my favourite mug (hefty big white item with blue chinoiserie carp) which I've had for almost the last ten years. This mug served me well at Nokia, in Edinburgh and throughout my time here at Southampton.

I know that I could epoxy the handle back on so that it would last a good few years more (providing I don't run it through a dishwasher and treat it kindly), but it might not be the same. Perhaps I should just retire it and put it out to pasture as a pen holder?
