“I’ll just tell you three things about the Home Office, Dr. Reid”… January 29, 2007

1. Bide your time…
2. Keep your nose clean…
20,000 new prison spaces since Labour came to power, with 8,000 more commissioned since John Reid became Home Secretary. I don’t know which to worry about more. The fact that we need this many more places since Labour have been in power, or the fact that even this amount of extra spaces are not likely to be enough…

Something new… A Shop! January 18, 2007

Well, it has been a while in getting around to this, but I finally think I have got a small set up going with www.spreadshirt.net so I can put some of my photoshopping skills to some use and put designs onto various T Shirts and other items to sell. I’ve started off with a simple design, and something which I hope will raise a chuckle at least, in the very best traditions of a ‘Carry On’ Movie…
spreadshirt.net do all the hard work and set the basic price. The commission I add to it works out at about a couple of quid per item. I’ve decided to do it to raise a little money for Charity. All the commission I make on the sale of the T-Shirts and other items (new designs and items will be added as and when I get around to them) will be going to Macmillan Cancer Relief.
My Father-in-Law is currently dealing with terminal cancer, and the Macmillan Nurses have helped support him, and the family throughout. Aged only 53, it has been a terrible thing for him and the family to deal with, and while a lot of money is always raised for cancer research, there is always need for funding for those who help support people with the disease. So rest assured that any money raised by hopefully selling a few T-Shirts and other items will be collected together and regularly sent on to Macmillan Cancer Relief.
If you would like to have a look at the current items/design, follow the link to My Shop in the blogroll on the left.
If anyone has any ideas for T-Shirts they would like to see, I’ll leave the comments field open. Many thanks for looking

After a reasonable absence, dealing with Christmas, New Year, Catching up on work, teaching and a few technical problems, all now seems to be back in order, so here’s something I’ve recently done for B3ta, which seemed to go down well. Happy New Year to all, and I promise to be a bit more regular with the posts on here this year!
