Have you posted the Mysterious t-shirt yet? I could chuck a scribble on it beforehand!
Sorry... I never did let you have a go at minding the poster! I got one from the Big Over easy as well- unsigned though (unlike the first poster!).

Kitten, I believe if we had hung around much longer you may have been mugged by rabid fans for your fforde ffestival t-shirt! ^_^ I must admit I'm jealous.... The only time I wish I had a credit card is because I want every one of Jasper's t-shirt designs!
He should sell them at his signings, I'd buy them!

The bookshops would probably complain if the author was selling t-shirts out the back of a van ;)

we'll have to catch up so you can sign it before I post it off...

Oh, and I just saw the simpsons movie... My advice?

Go see it. Go on. Now. Right now. No, seriously, get off the computer if you haven't seen it and go directly to the cinema.

Now.

T shirt of mystery, a lot like the postcard that was doing the rounds when I first joined the fforum. I got it from Wagga Wagga and sent it to Germany. I wonder what happened to it?

Anyway, baggy me for the T shirt when it wings its way to dear old Blighty (where its raining again)

Should the 'int'l T Shrt of Mystry' (omitting vowels saves on postage) be coming to the convict free state let me know for I shall practice a signature for it. I've had walls of practice - it's just writing on the horizontal confuses me.

Has that teletubbie got relatives who have a thing for you?

I'm not sure, their expressions never change and I have no idea as to whether they are male, female or asexual. Not that I ever watch tv!

If you get a teletubby, you can watch TV on its tummy, but just terrestrial stuff, since they have aerials on their heads and not satellite dishes.

Teletubbies are old school. It's all Yo Gabba Gabba these days. Last week I was stuck watching that while in the dentist's waiting room. Frightening, frightening stuff.

So glad I was old enough to tell what rubbish this stuff was by the time it replaced things like the Magic Roundabout and Morph. Was it Morph? Little plasticine man with a brush as a friend. There were other plasticine peopole too.

First there was Gumby. I recall Gumby being on the idiot box shortly after television came to Australia. I think in Adelaide in 1958 or so, earlier in Melbourne. It was made in Czechoslavia or somewhere like that.

Now there is Aardman -Wallis & Grommit, Chicken Run, etc, Pingu, and various commercials with the malleable men (and wonderfully malleable women).
