Hello!

I got an email about two weeks ago, from Princess Productions, makers of the hit and miss general entertainment Channel 4 tripe you may know as The Friday Night Project. They wanted a Noel Shirt for professional Beardy-Weirdy , Justin Lee Collins to wear on TV, while Noel was presenting.

Now a few things went through my brain when I heard that.

1) About a year ago, i did this image, after B3ta was asking their forum users to basically “Do Channel 4′s work for them”, by creating break bumpers using the 4 logo:-

(Needless to say it wasn’t a winner)

2) This isn’t the first time this production company have contacted me. The first time was when I was back doing my degree. They saw my stupid websites, and asked me if I was interested in developing a website for their New “Internet Comedy TV Show” thing – I was in my last year of my degree, I decided that was more important, and never followed it up.

The show turned up as the Gail Porter presented Dotcomedy. It was shit.

3) Shit, I really should get that Noel Still Loves You T-Shirt production going, now I know the fad is probably over by now, and it’s probably a waste of time, but I’ve noticed that since Deal or No Deal, noelstillovesyou.co.uk has seen a steady rise of hits.

Now the result of all this – Due to not having any shirts at the ready, I ended up giving them the design files and told them they’d have to get one printed themselves, to cut a long story short, “JLC” didn’t wear a Noel shirt after all. Whether that’s because they couldn’t get a shirt done, Noel vetoed the idea, or I scared them off buy telling them what the Noel campaign was about, who knows

…Oh, and now I’ve set up a shop with a half-decent (IE: NOT cafépress) online shirt printing shop. So If you REALLY want a Noel Shirt, go there.

Of course this also has the advantage that I now have the outlet to put any of my angry, bitter, cynical thoughts onto a T-Shirt! So my first target is… CHARITY MUGGERS!

I know I’m not the only person that hates these bright jacket, wearing, step-in-your-face, commission monkeys. NOTHING I DO stops them from walking directly into my walking path. NOTHING.

There I am, MP3 player on full blast, staring straight forward, I’m not being subtle here, I’m blatantly ignoring them so they KNOW I’m not fucking interested. But oooooh no, they still have to do it.

On a bad day, I’m not the most stable man, all it’s going to take is a couple of bad days and one of those cunts to step right in my face again, and I swear, I’m just going to snap. I already went off on one of those ambulance chasers once, luckily only verbally.

I’ve always wanted a T-shirt like that to show off my distaste for this invasion of personal space (for no extra charge, it works for every other cunt that pisses you off in the street, too!), and now’s my chance, and your chance too.

There’s several designs, of varying quality all available from the shop.
