Birmingham: It's Not Shit Calendar 2008

It’s that time of next year again, when in a flagrant attempt to pay for all the incidental costs of B:iNS we unleash the Birmingham:It’s Not Shit Calendar on the suspecting public. It is, we’ve seen calendars in the shops.

As always it features 13 shots of real Brum, with no spin and only a tiny few adjustments in Photoshop to try and make it look warm in the summer months (well did you try getting pictures of the sun this year?). While it isn’t all pretty, it at least isn’t 12 shots of canalside living.

It includes, the beach under Spaghetti Junction, Mr Egg, The Pantomime Horse Grand National and you can see tiny versions of the inside pictures here.

We’ve got two versions for sale from Lulu.com, a full height version at £12.99 (cover pictured) and a slightly cheaper folded version at £7.99.

Both include all your Bank Holidays, as well as a few special B:iNS chosen dates and anniversaries. (There’s also one in our Cafepress shop might be cheaper with the dollar exchange rate being over 2-1, have a look see what you think. This one doesn’t have special dates, just normal holidays.)

It’s a perfect gift for granny, as long as granny doesn’t mind the word “shit” in tiny type a couple of times on the cover. Best to buy it her for christmas and hide her bifocals till it’s January and you’ve put it up.

    Birmingham IS shit. I should know, I live there. Who are you trying to kid?
  • Ha Ha, or peculiar?

    I generally prefer to do my Christmas shopping on December 24th, but even I have been tempted to order early to ensure I receive my copy of this marvellous calendar. I'm hoping to see Elvis's birthday marked as one of the special B:INS chosen dates.

  1. Birmingham: It's Not Shit loves Birmingham, its people, arts, animals, buildings, parks, grass verges, factories and bus stops. We've even got a soft spot for the Black Country.

    B:iNS runs The Brummie of the Year Award, Talk Like a Brummie Day and organises odd stuff like spending all day on the eleven bus.

    BiNS is mostly by Jon Bounds, a Birmingham based social web consultant, producer and writer. You can hire him to work on your stuff, or follow him on twitter. There's also stuff from Danny Smith and Karen Strunks.

    If you've got gigs to promote, best to chuck them on the talk board.
