T-shirt Slogan Could Mean Fine

As someone who has ‘invested’ money into a range of t-shirts with a variety of slogans, I was somewhat disturbed to read this today: A man spotted wearing a T-shirt bearing an “offensive” slogan in a city centre has been warned he risks an £80 fine if he is caught again.

9lbs and an AMD Athlon 64 X2

Things have been a little slow lately because I had last week off work. Actually, that’s a lame excuse, you’d think that’d make me blog more… Anyway, apart from being told I’m short-sighted last week we also had an incident with the car (Karl explains it better), I had a ‘successful’ doctors appointment in which… read full entry »

Two Dollars to the Pound

…or near enough! Seriously, now is the time to be buying geek t-shirts. I’ve just bought three new t-shirts (I know, I know) from ThinkGeek which — including the ridiculous cost of delivering them from the States — have cost me less than three from syswear.com would have and they don’t charge for delivery. (If… read full entry »


Casual Kinda Girl

I went to work this morning in my jeans and a t-shirt (as is the norm) — came home at lunch to get changed into something a little smarter for a meeting, and then changed back into my jeans this evening. Some might say that this is a little obsessive and that I could have… read full entry »
