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!
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.
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).
