God help us all….

News sites are reporting that Cherie Blair left Gordon Brown’s speech and on hearing him (via monitors) speak about his wonderful relationship with her husband, she allegedly stated “Well, that’s a lie.”

Of course if she was treated the same way as others were last year….

Age and infirmity are not issues after Bony “M” Campbell’s ‘convincing’ PR campaign.

I have opened a shop with Spreadshirt.co.uk.

They’re pretty good, although they rejected my Tony Blair Bloody Idiot design.

The shirts I’ve ordered have been delivered in a week or less and (from my experience) when you buy a single shirt, it can get through the letterbox, so no waiting in for the delivery.

At present, it’s not viable for me to get things screenprinted so there are two differrent types of print. Both are pretty robust (although Flex and Flock prints are better) if you keep strictly to the washing and ironing instructions.

Transfer is exactly what is says on the tin. Those items with a white background have a slight film where the white border is but it isn’t too noticeable.

Flex print is where the design is cut from a very thin vinyl and then sealed on to the shirt. Flock print is the same but with a flock finish.

These are not the cheapest shirts in the world – some of them are expensive but that is due to the availability of suitable shirts and the type of printing.

The way Spreadshirt works is that I upload the design. When you place an order, the shirt is made, Spreadshirt have a base price and I get a commission which I can set at any level.

Typically, I get about £2.10 per shirt.

I can’t see who bought what, so I can’t thank you personally, but please know that I appreciate your custom. (oooh – that’s a bit corporate but you know what I mean.)

Flex and flock printing is more expensive than transfer printing..

The White Shirt, Red Socks, Hot Wash shirt is pretty steep. This is due to only one pink shirt being available and the cost of the flex print. In this case, I’m taking no ‘creator commission’ whatsoever.

Some of the designs are available on different types of shirt and, some in Flex or Flock print.

Do remember that P&P is payable on top of the price you see.

Rachel From North London has written something pretty special

Can anyone help her put it to music ?

Sir Philip Green, honoured for services to the retail industry (or the UK’s greatest tax saving scheme) link has employed Kate Moss to draw some pictures of knickers, bras and flouncy skirts to allow the gullible to send their money to a tax haven.
Possibly a grave miscalculation. Profit margins may have to be cut so the little lemmings can afford some nose candy that the advertising campaign will, in parallel, be indirectly promoting.
