From reading other peoples posts , I worked out the meaning of CUPS, but cant work out or find what it stands for.

Would anyone mind filling me in?

Compulsive Unneccesary Purchasing Syndrome.


Stephen, pass the CUPS cakes will you?

Ah, now I see.

Thank you, had actually searched for quite a while for that with no luck.
Definately something I suffer from acutely

Hmmm... I thought it was uncontrollable?

Yorkshire Pudding came up with a great version of CUPS & BALLS, hopefully he'll enlighten us again (rubbish memory I've got)

Hmmm... I was led to believe that as it was "Compulsive2 it was implied that it was "uncontrollable" hence having that would be unneccesary.

I believe Banafish knows more than me though lol


I came up with something like that...

"I have CUPS (and I've got the Balls to admit it!)"

Everyone always gives a diferent defenition

I think Mandrake says Unnucessary

but others say ther's nothing unecessary - it's uncontrollable

But then others say Compulsive and Uncontrollable mean the same...

It should be in a Sticky.

I think it should be Unneccesary

Mandrake says Uncontrollable as everything in Magic is necessary! Uncontrolled or uncontrollable is a personal choice - either way we're doomed, ye hear? Doomed!

indeed

CUPS is addictive. Why do you think that shop owners like myself are called "magic dealers" rather than traders or merchants.

It starts with a free trick, then moves on to "just a TT and silk" finally you end up with a Lester Lake Guillotine and full stage show.

Oh yes!
