I went to vista print and if you do the design NOW it'll be there in time.

Cheers

Granthams of blackpool. Ask for Tshirt printing when the girl answers."

The beggar of it is, I was looking more for a polo shirt, and sewn rather than just printed. :-(

[Jim]

I was after a more 'real' image than just a printed sweat shirt, I wanted something that might have been a piece of Tsarina issue kit. I'll phone them tomorrow morning and ask what they're going to do about it then I've got the rest of the day to hunt for stuff. But I'll be travelling on Wednesday, have a funeral taking up much of Tuesday PM, I've got to help someone through a cattle inspection on Monday, so it's getting tight

[Patti (baconater)]

Let us know if we can help, Jim.

[David]

Sounds good, Jim. It'll be a pity if you don't get them in time.

[Jim]

I'll see what tomorrow brings (other than rain. It's persisting down here now!)

[Patti (baconater)]

Here too.

Not down so much as sideways.

[Jim]

In the west the rain normally comes in horizontal which is why so few of us bother with umbrellas

[Will]

Jim, you could try my friend John who has a computerised embroidery machine?

[Jim]

got contact details?

[Will]

I'll PM you

[Patti (baconater)]

See???

We can't help each if we don't talk to each other!

[Jim]

Anyway I've got the shirts.
Well almost got the shirts.
I now have met the two ladies who actually do the work (not the YTS six year old in the shop who is supposed to liaise and everything is up and running
I get them tomorrow after 1pm

Strangely their workshop is in part of what used to be an old dairy. It opens out onto a loading bay.
Many years ago I wheeled 10 gallon milk churns along that bay and into what is now their workshop :-)

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

I hope the shirts don't smell of sour milk then ;)

[Patti (baconater)]

Let's hope they don't curdle.

Good news, Jim!

What's YTS?

[Rosemary (grooving with the Picts)]

Youth Training Scheme
now no longer called that - generally shorthand for ineptitude by a youngster!

[Patti (baconater)]

Your ageism is showing, darling. ;)

Oh! Did I mention there was about 40 American teenagers on our flight back from Greece?

We somehow ended up in the midst of them in the check in queue we were forced to wait in for three hours as the computers were down.

Was quite fun, actually. They were returning home from a school trip through Italy and Greece.

I made a bunch of them give me oral reports on their trip. ;)

[Tim]

Always a school teacher eh, Patti?

[Patti (baconater)]

Sickening, isn't it?

[Jim]

My late mother is probably starting to take an interest in this thread, she was a teacher, started work fully qualified at the age of 19!

[Patti (baconater)]

Oh. I better watch my language then.

[Will]

I'm sure that any teacher knows all those naughty words, Patti.

Taught by the children, probably

[Patti (baconater)]

I've always learned my best swears from teenagers.

[Jim]

Well I'm home
Loncon was amazing
Or at least the dealer hall was, I never actually saw anything else there.
Working with Will and Barrie was a joy, and I'm sure Will will agree with me that working with Barrie was a real education on how selling should be done!

I may sleep now

[M.T.]

I'd second that. Listening to Barrie really made me laugh on Saturday.

Sleep well.


Cheers

MTM

[Will]

I don't think you were supposed to laugh at Barrie so much as swoon into his arms, Mary...

It was a genuine masterclass though.

[Jim]

Barrie is the Man!
Seriously he is a really nice chap and a joy to work with

[Jim]

Apparently his book A Higher Authorityis also a damned good read as well. I was going to get a copy but he sold out!

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

That polo shirt looked good. Turned out very well, and looked good with the henna tattoo!

[M.T.]

[Smug mode] I bought one. [cancel smug mode]

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

A shirt, a tattoo or a Jim?

[Will]

Or all three?

[M.T.]

A Barrie book. :-)

[Jim]

Yes. I was chuffed with the shirt. I talked to the lass at the store, they can do them for me for £15 plus postage

[Jim]

Somethings are not merely not for sale, they are beyond price

[Patti (baconater)]

No, you said they're £15 plus postage.

[Jim]

Well the tattoo is cheaper, it doesn't need posting

[Patti (baconater)]

I'm gobsmacked that our Jim got a tramp stamp.

[David]

Gone off the rails, no doubt, while in the Smoke.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

It was all because a pretty girl smiled at him.

[Patti (baconater)]

Ah, that explains it.

[Rosemary (grooving with the Picts)]

Jim got a tattoo??? Where?

[Patti (baconater)]

In London, Rosemary.

[Patti (baconater)]

Ha! Just cracked myself up and Dave told me to hush he's trying to watch TV.

[Rosemary (grooving with the Picts)]

I knew someone would say that, I just knew it. The only question was which one of you would it be!

[Patti (baconater)]

You can see it if you like his Tsarina page on Facebook.

[Rosemary (grooving with the Picts)]

*rushes off to look*

[Rosemary (grooving with the Picts)]

Oh, his arm...

[Jim]

LOL

Not only that but it's a henna tattoo as well, paints on and wears slowly off. I guess it'll be gone in a few more days

[Jim]

Yes, the last traces of the Henna tattoo have finally gone :-)
Anyway I'm hoping to be away for a few days, my better half and I are actually having a holiday.
So play nicely until I get back :-)
