The mugs are on their way!

Attached to notes apologising for the delay in sending them out - ConservativeHome mugs were today mailed out to all those who had donated the requisite £35. If you'd like a mug please make a donation here and we'll post one tomorrow (you can see that we have quite a number). If you have made a donation and don't receive anything by Monday please email us in case our list of donors was incomplete.

The photo appears genuine...so perhaps they do exist.

Rejoice, rejoice!!

What a poorly framed photo!

All those cups in the foreground are partially blocking our view of the mugs.

Is a mug going to David Cameron? Surely he donates to Conservative Home with its legion of modernisers - Justine Hinchcliffe, Scotty, Changetowin, HF, Malcolm, Jack Stone etc

You nust be a mug to pay £35 for a mug. Wouldn't mind a fiver though. You do have quite a number - may be in a few months they will appear on E Bay!!

Perhaps the next item in the catalogue should be collar stiffeners.

You're all a bunch of cynics! Why not say something nice about them? :)

If I send £35 will Sam buy an Iron. By the way, do you boys own a tie?

Bullingdon Bertie is Chad Noble and I claim my £5. Let's not feed the trolls, folks.

I'm not rising to this bait - trying to make witty remarks about crockery is a mug's game.

I never appreciated how cute the Deputy Editor is. He could post a Conservative leaflet through my letterbox any day!!

Posted by: Clare Lewis | July 05, 2007 at 22:45

Iron or not, Sam Coates is HOT.

Posted by: Paul | July 05, 2007 at 23:12

What sort of donation would it take for Sam to be photographed in his birthday suit?

Posted by: Clare Lewis | July 05, 2007 at 23:29

Not sure I'd pay £35 for a mug. I think, though, it's fair to say that Sam is a gay icon (Sam, take it as a compliment!). Tim's getting there, too...

Posted by: Justin Hinchcliffe | July 05, 2007 at 23:55

Tim, I am very iffy about putting money through on the internet, so please will you take some to Blackpool, and you can have £35, and give me a mug on the spot. Perhaps you should ask for orders first, or it might get silly.

Posted by: Annabel Herriott | July 06, 2007 at 00:43

Justin don't be ridiculous. Icons (in the sense deployed by your post) are tragic figures. Sam is not tragic (not obviously so, anyway). You are the one who writes obliquely that you fancy Sam on a public website, which, I would say, makes you the tragic part of the conversation. You're not an icon either. It's ridiculous for gay men to make comments about finding either Tim or Sam attractive and does nothing for our long term integration into society.

Daniel Kawczynski ... ohmygod he's gorgeous. (Swoon). Please can he sign or otherwise lick my mug?

Why all the nice remarks about the lovely Sam? Tim is very handsome, too.

Posted by: Tim's mum | July 06, 2007 at 08:07

Ooh, two boys with big piles?
Curly was asking if these are more suitable for use in Costa Coffee or better for his 50% extra Nescafe?

Posted by: Madge | July 06, 2007 at 09:17

I agree, Tim is a handsome chap :)

Posted by: Maryam | July 06, 2007 at 11:07

Looking forward to receiving mine!!

Posted by: Sally Roberts | July 06, 2007 at 17:45

Oh behave Graeme! ;-)

Posted by: Sally Roberts | July 06, 2007 at 17:47

Seriously guys, the picture is an awful lot better than Iain Dale's!

Posted by: Curly | July 06, 2007 at 19:56

Got mine ta and am currently baptising it with some pinot grigot cos I'm just in and can't be bothered washing up a proper wine glass. Anyone doing anything even more vulgar with theirs?

Posted by: Paul Oakley | July 06, 2007 at 20:55

If I *had* one I would be brewing the post-cat-litter tea in it (ie the tea after doing the litter tray, not some demented Hackney-recycling initiative thing). But as my mug remains a complete *fiction* I'm not. Harrumph. It's like some Twilight Zone episode, everyone gets a mug but me.

Posted by: Graeme Archer | July 07, 2007 at 07:54

Yours is on your way to you Mr A.

Posted by: Editor | July 07, 2007 at 12:07

Thanks Tim!

Posted by: It's Dr Archer, OK? Dr A! Yes, it might just be a John Reid type Dr but it's still a Dr! Yes I *am* | July 07, 2007 at 12:29

Now, if there was a Sam in speedos piccie even i'd send in £35 quid!
