But mostly I just thought it was funny.

Might be interesting to wear one of these to the upcomming "e-ireland" exibition.

Would it be possible to get stickers with this design?

From what i can tell, them just take an image, any image and imprint it on the t shirt.

Im sure you could probably get it done in dublin for that price.
maybe use it as a fund raiser for ioffl and sell them at public meetings, isnt martin in this line of business?

They do... and you can...

The t-shirt printing place in the ILAC Centre (Parnell St. entrance side) does it - you just give them an image on disk (Jpeg/Gif) and they'll print it on a t-shirt for you.

Their prices are £12.50 per t-shirt, so when DeV says he's not making any money out of it, I'd believe him.

However, I'm not terribly sure as to how appropriate this is on our forum...

True, just thought of that. (I consider all of boards.ie my playground sometimes

I think we should move it to one of the tech fora. I'll pick one in the morning
Perhaps another forum that ISNT associated with the IOFFL name where people like me can play with stuff.
Like I said, I didnt make up that site but I wish I had thought of it!
This is the sort of guerrilla stuff I like, but which I fully concur IOFFL cant (and shouldnt) get involved with.

im really tempted to get one done up on friday at the ilac.
me thinks...

Also i agree that as a organisation ioffl need to dedance itself from actions like these, but never allow people like eircom to place the blame for these actions at our door step

okay...

as for the t-shirt... I think one with the main logo would also look good, i.e.:

Now THAT ... I'd wear

great logo

I'm tempted too. Does that place in the ilac do graphics on the back too? The errorcom logo and "Ireland by the B..." would be good there.

Methinks that shop in the Iilac is going to be busy this weekend

I'm going for the "Ireland by the Bollocks" look on the front and the "keep your mouse" on the back.

700€ my arse, the more we make them suffer publically the better. (i mean that other vaguely similar sounding company i mean )

Hmmm ... wouldn't it be nice if we could get a full man size costume for the errorcom rat made up, then the eircom mouse costume made up. Then get two brave souls to wear them outside Eircom's head quarters, and have the rat jumping on, and kicking the sh*te out of the mouse. Might even get on the news ... could be fun

Personally, I had an extremely pleasant daydream recently, of someone dressed as the IrelandOffline snail kicking seven kinds of ****e out of the Eircom mouse at a press event.

NOTE: It was a daydream. Dreams are different from reality. Add that to your little chart there, next to Superman, Dougal.

How 'bout someone dressed as a mouse in an XXL-sized Errorcom t-shirt (with the logo) walking down Grafton Street on a Saturday handing out information sheets on the wonderful products that Errorcom provide ?

It would be great if we had the mouse costume @ any march we may have...

It brings back memories of a Senior Cup Rugby Match, when my school CUS Leeson Street had one of our lads dress up in a Terenure Shirt and was dragged out onto the pitch at halftime and had the shít kicked into him.

Me thinks theres a celebrity deathmatch type flash movie waiting to be made *hint hint*:D

The only thing I didnt want to get into is some charge of making money from the similar logo. I reckon that would attract heat that could stick. I still havent found a lawyer who will tell me what the legalities are and stand by them...
We'll see.
