Before I answer that question I'd like to tell you about my collection of beermats. For those of non alcohol persuasions a beermat is a coaster used to rest glasses of beer (or other beverages) upon. Public houses in the United Kingdom usually will have them spread out across the tables. They are used not just to protect the surface of the table, but, as they are usually made out of paper, they can also be used to absorb spillages. Their main use, however, is as part of an alcohol advertising campaign. Beermats are often adorned with a customized image - usually advertising a brand of beer, although they can also be used to promote a drinking establishment, sports franchise, or special event. Although they appear to be a disposable item, this is a misapprehension. they are in fact quite durable and reusable. Some beermats are collectible items. Tegestology is a latin term defined as the practice of collecting beermats or coasters, with practitioners known as tegestologists Collecting beermats is an especially popular hobby in Germany which is a very interesting place. There is an international collector's association called IBV in Germany since 1958. The British Beermat Collectors Society was founded shortly afterwards in 1960 and currently has around 300 members spread around the world. Like the IBV, it organizes regular meetings for collectors and also publishes a monthly newsletter. Other notable clubs associated with tegestology include the South Australian Coaster Collectors Club and New South Wales Coaster Collectors Club. There are many subcategories of tegestologists, including those who are solely interested in porcelain or other specific kinds of beermats....oh sorry you have to go?
Edit, oh well the guy who posted after me about decking seems very interesting...

well.................... it depends how you define the word boring........................................ I suppose if i were to sit here all day and all night looking at questions on ask yahoo then trying to think up amusing things to answer with i might be considered being worth taring with the epithet boring............. but then again depending on your point of view i might not be.............. how can you tell though? I watched the Spurs game tonight, terrible result then i'm going round to my friends house tomorrow night for a bar-b-que, hope it doesn't rain, but i don't think it will cause according to the weather forecast its going to be sunny. I shall go to Sainsburys and buy some beers then we will talk about football and cricket and rugby and building a decking area for my garden.
