ALERT ALERT! SEVERE PETTINESS WARNING! ALERT ALERT!

Now look, my Death mug has only been in the dishwasher twice but already the pattern has faded to buggery! (the second time wasn't my fault ... damn housemates)

Could we possibly have a warning on the shop page in future?

Longman "don't mind me, I'm just angry cuz I dropped my Dredd phone cover!" Short

Huh, my Mean mug hasn't even turned up. Got my first subbed progs a week ago, no sign of me gift, though.

Id suggest that washing mugs that dont have dishwaser proof on them in said machine would make them fade like billy-oh....

Yer "Ive learend this lesson before" slips

 anybody see jackass saturday night, the one where they go on the gumball run. steveo had a huge 2000ad sticker on his back.made me wonder bout the simularity of 2000ad characters and the jackass stars
 party boy......joe pineapples
 wee man........ukko
 preston.........two to tony tubbs
 or do i just have too much time on my hands?

Hmmm, yeah, if the mugs aren't actually dishwasher safe, we probably ought to have a heads-up up somewhere onsite.

I'll get something sorted.

Ta muchly matey :oD

well i'm not happy with the range of t-shirts & long sleeved tops. its cold up here you know & i end up forced to wear pokemon or pointless stripey things to keep warm.


i'll get my coat shall i?

I've run my Mean Mug through the machine a couple of times and it still looks good.  At the risk of getting into a detergent comparison thread; I think we use finish 3-in-1 tablets.

Don't know if that helps.

WoD.

Finish Tablets? God help us all.

I used to be young, y'know. I liked punk music.

Why am I associating with these people? I hope it's another hallucination...

I can't believe I wrote that either.  I'm gonna go hhome and go crazy, after I've bathed the baby, had dinner, and done some ironing; then I'll go crazy and maybe have two beers tonight!

Yeah!! Up the lads!!  Woo Woo Woo

God help us all.

i can't believe you wrote that twice you demented fool. I use mild fairy washing up liquid on mine, & keep it at work where no little runt can break it.

my mugs are dishwasher proof you know.
make nice christmas presents too. sigh.

Link: more cheapscate advertising that;ll get me banned.

I feel pity towards Bou. That's wrong. It's a sign of weakness.

Grrrrrr......

That's better.

- Trout

Aarrgghh!! Just been to unload the dishwasher and what do I find?!?!

The print on my Death mug has now turned an interesting shade of purple.

That housemate is gonna pay, my god, she's gonna pay!!!

if your death mug is looking faded.

instead of getting all uptight.
 sit and think about it. queitly place your death mug in close proximatey to your house mates mugs leave the room. allow you death mug to PASS JUDGEMENT UPON YOUR HOUSE MATES MUG. in the morning the other purged of all sin will be a pail image of your full coloured,and strong DEATH MUG.

justice will have been served, all other mugssss willl bee in AWE.

>well i'm not happy with the range of t-shirts & long sleeved tops.

Yeah, we know many of our readers and creators come from the land of ice and snow, hence the wide range of fleeces and hats in the shop (not to mention the Tharg hoody).

Hopefully when our designers have a chance to work on some new t-shirt designs, we'll look at doing a longsleeve or two.

What I want is polo-neck shirts, preferably with stiched designs, since then I could wear them to work.

Wake

I have long given up on buy such things, because normally:

Current fashions dictate XL is just about able to fit an Action Man.

XXL is made to fit fat bastardos, not mere slips like me ;)

after a couple of washs promo stuff shrinks or just hangs like a pair of cheap Union Jack boxers on a lads tour of Benidorm.

promo stuff looks stupid on a 42 year old ( anit that the truth!)

Huffsta

Beach Towel.

>What I want is polo-neck shirts, preferably with stiched designs, since then I could wear them to work.

Do you mean like the black polos that can be seen worn by me, Dom etc at events?

I would definitely buy a polo shirt or two, especially in black.

Just remember to have stocks of my size, officially known as "hulking great butch fish king," or simply "fat bastard."

That's XXL.

- Trout

Do you mean like the black polos that can be seen worn by me, Dom etc at events?

Yes, that kind of thing. I don't have one (yet) since there was one around in my size (S) when I asked Dom-1 about them. I don't know if they've been reordered since then.

Wake

Hmmm, it may not be too difficult to do more polos, as they'd use the same embroidery as the beanies and fleeces.

Okay, just to gauge interest, how many of you lot would be interested in embroidered polo shirts? Also, everyone happy with black as the colour?

Black.

I love my Rogue biochip beanie, and would love it on a polo shirt.

The Dredd badge would work, obviously, but it's too recognisable, IMO, and I might not get one.
But the Mean dial would be great.

Other possibilities: Tharg's dial; a Psi badge; the Alpha SD badge (which was cool on a fleece); someone's gurning face, like Ukko, Nemesis or Ro-Jaws; or a full pic of someone small, like Grobbendonk.

Given it's just a wee pic, the fun possibilities are endless - and are far more wide than just the 2K logo.
- Trout

I'm not convinced that subtle is the way to go with T-shirts or Polo-shirts.  I like my Superman T-shirt with the big 'S' logo on the front and would quite like a Green-Lantern T-shirt with the ring emblem as a big logo.  I think these work cause they are big and in-your-face-and-bold, plus the 'S' is pretty bloomin iconic and the ring emblem is just a bit different.  So maybe a T-shirt with the 3 GI Dog-Tags (like the welcome icon on the webpage frontpage) would be nice.

Failing that, just give me a Dredd Beach Towel.  Pls.

WoD.

I have that GL shirt and only wear it indoors.

It's just too much.

I prefer subtle and never, never buy big, in-your-face comics t-shirts, etc.

- Trout

Logan - Where did you get that beautie?

And Trout; Yes to the SD badge, but big and bold on a t-shirt.  And it doesn't have to always be a bloomin black t-shirt or we all end up looking like teenage rock fans.

WoD.

i have full set of in your face t shirts all dredd ones. got them on ebay.
out here you can get away with it.

 a polo t shirt though now thats a great idea.
something a bit specail can be worn anywhere. especailly  on the golf course. and is slightly rebellious.
perfect.

Not a big merchandise buyer but someone bought it me for a Christmas present, they obviously thought it?d be funny, probably around the time of the movie as it got(c)1995 on it.

La Placa Rifa,
W. R. Logan.

I'd like a polo shirt... a big orange one. But black would do I 'spose.

Of the patches currently available on beanies and fleeces, I'd go with a Rogue biochip.

Black would be fine, though since it's Rogue, navy blue might be a better colour.

Wake

I WANT...GIVE ME...

A green/yellow stripy long-sleve T-shirt with the SD logo on the upper-left of the chest.

YAY!

not too big on polo type top. but embroidered, great; black great; subtle great.. totally in your face GREAT ! one is never too old for bright silliness. not to bothered about ye Tharg pencil holder or such, but clothes need to be worn so one might as well wear ones with fave pictures on.


Trout... Butch ??? ha ha ha

WARNING - if death is fading from yer mug it means his evil spirit is escaping into yer pad...

"WARNING - if death is fading from yer mug it means his evil spirit is escaping into yer pad..."

That'll be my housemate then ...

As for polo shirts, I'm all for that, but some other colour than black? I have too many black t-shirts. Navy blue perhaps? Or a nice red?

Also on my fantasy list o' merchandise:
Leviathan - Ship in a Bottle
Strontium Dog - mutie in a jar

And, and seriously, Dredd's boots (comic, not movie)and a red t-shirt with that Valentines Venus Blue Genes bullet heart pic that was either by Dermot Power or Jason Brashill.

Oddboy,you have wonderous taste.If they don't make one I'll kick up a stink and no mistake...
What about the SD fleece?Never seen it,was it just black with the SD logo,cos green would be lush...

M.

If anyone has a decent image of some dogtags or the 'SD' badge then can you put them up on here or email them to me.  I have a pack of 'print yourself and iron on patches' that I bought to make up some stag party shirts a while back, so I could try and make a mock up of a t-shirt this weekend.

Cheers,
WoD.

>If anyone has a decent image of some dogtags

Army dog tags?

Dogtags - Helm, Gunnar and Bagman chips like the icon on the welcome link on the website frontpage.

If anyone has it in a larger format, or something similar.

Rogue?s Secret BioChip Buddy

La Placa Rifa,
W. R. Logan.

Coo blimey: Darkness Visible, Flesh, Kid Cybrog and Venus Blue Genes, all in the same prog.

You don't get quality like that no more.

Thanks Logan.  I'll try and give it a go this weekend and post it up if it's any good.

Cheers,
WoD.

Sounds great fun, WoD. Looking forward to it.

- Trout

Hope you'll be wearing the t-shirt to ShedCon WoD.

I bought a Durham Red fascia from this 'ere website not too long ago. Advertised for the Nokia 3310, all fine n dandy when it arrived. Hurrah, thought I, I can at last change my spidey one for something else.

Oh ho.

Not only does it not fit the phone properly, never clicking into place and sliding off at innopportune moments, but of all the fascias I've had it is the ONLY one that has become chipped to bloody buggery within mere weeks of purchase. The paintjob just won't stay on it and I am left with a phone that looks like I fling it around the flat each morning before I go to work.

Shan't be buying another one of them, then!

Bah!

Steev

I've got the Judge Death one...yeah it was tricky to get on at first - but once it was on it fitted okay.

It is scratching off a fair bit though, especially on the edges.
Anyway it's probably about time I hassled the phone company for a superduper upgrade, so It'll have to lose its Toothyness sooner or later.

This is quite funky:

Make yer own!

It'd be cool to have a biochip cover for your mobile phone.

If it talked.

And had telekinesis.

And micro-mines.

And 'Space Pr0n'

We want Zenith "Z" shaped official earrings.
 

I've aleady got mine...from Portugal last week.

I've finished the helm, gunnar and bagman bio-chip t-shirt and it looks V nice (IMO), I will try and get a picture done tomorrow in work and post it up (if I can work out how).

WOD

Not sure if this will work.  If your really unlucky I might model it later.

Please keep trying, WoD. I'd love to see it.

Logan, who's the artist on your beach towel.

It looks totally McMahon, but there's a definite McCarthy tinge there.

- Puzzled fish

I've asked Oddboy to help me out with this.  He's told me that there can be issues when trying to link to a Yahoo photo-album (i.e. half the world can't see it!).  It would be nice to show Logan how I put his kindly supplied piccies to good use.

Link: Full size image

I want...

Any colours other than white though?

I thought all virgins wore white?






snggrz...gffawww!

Wheres my comic?

Thanks OB.

Reckon we could do em in another colour, but they say the lighter the better.

WoD.

"Reckon we could do em in another colour, but they say the lighter the better."

Just a theory, but if you painted the part of the T-shirt that the patch goes on with white acrylic (or some other non-washable pigment), would that enable you to use black T-shirts?

In the likely event of the paint burning under the iron, could the same idea work if you bleached the part of the shirt that would have the patch?

Yer "cunning plan" 'Bast

I also admire your shirt skill.

Could this be a possibility as a Shedcon shirt?

It doesn't *have* to involve Rogue's nads, you know.

- Trout

The side of my head...

Wod, I'd wear that... in black, nicely obscure enough as to not be geeky, but also nice fir us in the know...

make it so.

Huffeee

 

Lots of nice ideas on this thread, so we may look at a few of them for Dreddcon and other future stuff.

Hmmm, maybe time for a poll on new clothing. If I stick a clothes poll up, can people not replace it for a week or so, so we can build up enough replies to mak ethe research worthwhile (unless Wake can fix it so it stays front paged all week)?

Ok, I already get enough funny looks for wearing NIN t-shirts and me 'booked it packed it f**ked off' t-shirt always gets funny looks then laffs down the pub, so id be up for the bio-chip t-shirt, not to mention the polo-shirt ideas..... would also like a zenith long sleeved t-shirt.....

Anybody bought on o' them damn ecko punisher t-shirts yet..... makes me laugh to see the rude boys walking around in em' most of em not realising what they're wearing.....

"Ok, I already get enough funny looks for wearing NIN t-shirts"

I find my "Too f**ked up to care any more" longsleeve is very handy for hangover days...

"It'd be cool to have a biochip cover for your mobile phone."

...or, say, A MOBILE ICON?

...which, having saved as a .WBMP and uploaded to my webspace, I'm not entirely sure how to get it onto my mobile. Any WAP-savvy boarders care to enlighten me?

Just got my first piece of 2000ad merchandise - my free Mean Machine mug!  Having read all the other disgruntled posts, I wasn't expecting it till next March or something, so I'm happy to say it arrived in mint condition 6 weeks after starting my subscription - and it holds tea well!

Dudley: Beware the wrath of the dishwasher on your mug.  Several peeps have mentioned that the colour fades when washed in a machine.

Thanks.  Luckily my dishwasher only gets wrathful when I don't offer to help her dry up, so I should be OK!

whos goin to the comic fest in london

Yo!
