A bit of electrical insulation tape around the outside of the cup just below the rim will generally stop your bottom lip from burning - obviously you can't "boil in the cup" like this.
I used to carry lighter fluid to light my hexi blocks. A little squirt onto the block and then light it. I'm not sure if it would work with the blocks coming straight from Rune's shed though.

The electrical tape idea does not strike a man with ten thumbs like something I want to faff about with...specially not with a cup full of boiling water... :-)

Yes, I'll go for the tea kettle...
In fact I like them so much that while most bushcrafters seem to go for the one pot to cook them all idea,
I do the same with my kettle. It has obvious advantages...unlike lets say a typical bushcraft fashion item like a zebra billy can (which in reality is a Thai lunch box),
it has a spout which makes it possible to pour water from it without scolding your hands.
And it has a large enough lid that should you decide to cook your morning porridge in it, or a stew...it is easy to clean afterwards...and it can hold a folding cup, sugar, tea, instant chockolate, salt, pepper etc,
even a trangia stove with pot stand inside. :-)
