What do you think? Worth getting these set up on the BiNS shop? R2D2 is of course a Brummie, played as he was by Kenny Baker — Star Trek Tastic. Thanks to Michael for the idea.
For our BBQ summer, you need a new BiNS T-shirt. And these are now made and shipped from the Midlands, keeping it in the family. We’ve teamed up (well they do all the hard work) with the people behind Bostin shirts to open a new online shop: There’s even a new shirt available right now, featuring something you may recognise:
If you’ve ever fancied a BiNS T-shirt or mug or something, but couldn’t be bothered with the CafePress-ordering-from-the-US thing, you might like to know that we’ve got a new shop in the UK – fast delivery too, I bought an 11 bus hoodie for myself and it came in two days. So if you like, drift over to the B:iNS shop – we’ve got these lovely designs… We don’t make much — about £1 commission on each — so don’t feel obligated, but every little helps.
A few weeks ago I bought a T-shirt with the Rotunda on it, and unusually it wasn’t one I’d designed. It was from this ‘shop’ on Spreadshirt.net, quite expensive but pretty unique. Unique for how much longer, I don’t know – at least three people have stopped me while wearing mine and asked me where I got it. I can never remember, so if I put a link up here at least I can point them to BiNS. The shop does a fine range of Spaghetti Junction shirts too:
That’s bostin as in Donarto Esposito’s famous T-Shirt company, not as an expression of admiration. We do like their new blog though. It’s obvious there’ll be more talk of faggots than is strictly necessary, and pays.
If you got a feed full of posts this morning, sorry – it was the upshot of moving B:iNS from one host to another more spangly one. It’s done now, I hope with a minimum of lost links (in fact there’s loads more links now as I imported the vast majority of “old news” items from pre-the blog – they’re not that interesting I don’ t think). The new site has a much more coherent look (still ironing out the kinks) and a new header. Hope you like it. Of course new graphics often mean new t-shirts.
But, then it wouldn’t rhyme on these limited edition t-shirts from Team Bostin.
