My new Forum T-Shirt arrived midweek, so today was the first time I wore it. It's amazing the reaction you get from people who you wouldn't think were on here. Walked into the Blackstock at lunchtime, and after saying "the usual ?", the barmaid said, " What do they call you on the forum ?". A chap in there said, "Like the T-Shirt, must get one myself."
It would appear that there are a lot more people going on here than I imagined. I'm gonna wear it tomorrow to the QSC to see what the reaction is there. Will let you know either Sunday night or Monday.
Long live The Forum !!!!!!

Update as promised.

Several people in QSC eyed at the T-Shirt with knowing looks.

One guy actually said "You're DaveP, aren't you ?"
I didn't even know he had a computer, let alone be on the Forum. However, before we had a chance to chat, the next game of bingo was due to start, and NOTHING stops the bingo in that club, so I re-took my seat. Later on I found he'd already left, but I may see him next week.

Long live the Forum.

wouldnt forum badges be a good idea!--theyd be cheaper to make and i think they would prove popular cos not everyone likes to wear tee-shirts esp in winter!

I PMd Geoff asking "weerz me t-shirt?" after about 3 days of waiting, he said he'd look into it, lo and behold a couple of days later there was a package for me in the post containing my forum t-shirt, which I wear mostly on Sunday nights when I come to the Dev Cat meets.

No need to be nasty in the email, just send a polite email explaining that you bought a t-shirt on such and such a date and it's not come yet, and does anyone know when it'll come?

That's what I did and I got a quick result.

In this world mate, if you're nasty to people you'll only get people being nasty back to you, I learnt that from bitter experience.

You shouldn't have waited until the last minute to order them, mine only took a couple of weeks. :P

They look good as well.

Ugh, recorded delivery is a scam mate, if you pay more for recorded delivery it's merely a protection racket ensuring that the Postal service won't steal or "lose" your item... :rant:

Is that a Netto bag on your head?! :lol: :lol:

Pfft.. Hypocrite.. You have the gall to troll me about chavs and YOU shop at Netto which according to people like you, is full of chavs :rolleyes:

Mods, I'm sorry about this.. But I couldn't resist the opportunity to prove a point.

scuse me, I only replied to Steve, and if you hadn't mentioned chavs in the first place no one would have replied. Perhaps you think there should be one law for you and another for the rest of the forum. :shakes:

Please, for my sanity if no-one elses, can we refrain from using the term chav?

You've reported me? Really?? PMSL didn't you know it was a joke??? Jees Rich things really are too serious in your world mate. Apologies if it genuinely has caused offence, but I can't see how you can be upset by a hat. :D

Well well .. guess what was on the floor when I opened the door.... YES ... my T-Shirt has finally arrived yippee ... although it looks like they have tried to deliver it before the silly postman didnt bother to leave a RD card so I could pick it up... I shall be wearing it one Sunday night, and I am off out to celebrate on the thread below... although I was already out, its just another excuse.



going here tonight to celebrate (http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?s=&postid=745972#post745972) :thumbsup:
