Beta Test of tshirt shop!!

    Ok, here it is in all its... um... something :)

    http://www.boards.ie/store/store.htm

    This is a beta test of our shop. It hasnt got all the images in it yet but it has most of them. (a big exception is Freaks artwork but he's working on it).

    What we need are a few brave souls who will buy a t-shirt to ensure everything is ok.

    I've bought the fight club ones and a mug too, and I've just got delivery of the ADSL Errorcom mouse one (which is sweet!)

    The total price including vat and delivery is 18 quid Irish. Boards gets 4 pounds Irish from that.

    I'm not going to release this to everyone until we are sure the process works ok, but if you want to be an early adopter feel free!

    We've checked everything with the shop makers and they can see no problems with images (I'm just being super cautious tbh!)

    Thanks for your support! Merry Xmas!

    DeV and the Admins.

    I love the Jesus one and the Boards Club one. Fight Club just rocks.

    Tempted.. tempted.

    Okay, they only take creditcards, pity.

    Time to buy a card I suppose. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,468 ✭✭✭Evil Phil


    Ok I've bought a 'che' tshirt. Hope it helps the move. :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,046 ✭✭✭Dustaz

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,587 ✭✭✭✭Dont be at yourself

    "Each item costs £18 IEP or £23 Euro

    This pricing is illegal!!!

    OK, you can say "£18" or "£18 or €22.86" or "£18.11 or €23" or "€23" or indeed, "£18 or €22.80". No mixing or matching (what is "£23 Euro"), no short cuts in calculating the conversion, you can't make a profit from the calculation, but you can take a loss.

    PS will actively consider purchase.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,458 ✭✭✭✭gandalf


    Another "Che" shirt here as well. I'll let you know when I recieve it.

    Gandalf.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,997 ✭✭✭The_Bullman


    I have ordered the mousemat(just to be different)

    will i get a personalised letter of thanks from Dev. I would really like that!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,484 ✭✭✭✭Stephen


    I must get my hands on a credit card :confused:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,839 ✭✭✭bubbles


    I'm getting me one of those "Forever Blowing Bubbles" ones.... and I suggest to you all that you get one too! Let the world know you blow me... or something :)

    Oh yeah, Figment also pointed out to me that if you look real closely at the bottom of the bubbles, you can see a faint reflection of my avatar. Nice Touch :)

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,576 ✭✭✭Kairo


    I'm gonna get me a Boards Club one for deffo. The Che one is cool too, might get that on a mug. Who/what is he?

    I can't see that reflection at all bubbs...msut be very faint.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,699 ✭✭✭Da Bounca


    Yeh they are class.


    Maybe have one with the picture of the geek saying FABULOUS, that would be amusing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,817 ✭✭✭✭po0k


    I can see it. Yellow faint smudge on the bubble to the bottom right (my right).

    Fluckin awesome.
    If I had a card I'd get a Che.

    The Mugs do need a bit of description though. There is so much to be considered when purchasing a mug.
    What is it's Tea Retention Factor? What Average Boolean Aproximate Radius Sum of Fingers will the handle take?
    What is the Liquid Dynamic Friction Co-efficient ratio like compared to say a polystyrene cup?

    Don't underestimate the power of the MUG.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,984 ✭✭✭✭Lump


    I Love the Jesus one....... I also love the subliminal messaging in the text to the right ;) Nicely Done.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,783 ✭✭✭Puck


    Cool! I just ordered the Jesus mug. Getting it to my spot in the middle of nowhere will be a real test! Postmen have been known to go missing.

    It's like Deliverence without the river!:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,320 ✭✭✭Q_Ball


    I want the Forever blowing bubbles one. Have to get my hands on the "emergency" credit card my parents got me ;) Any chance of getting it in black tho?

    There's ALWAYS one... :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,147 ✭✭✭Ronan|Raven


    Does the boards club with the text have the text in large on the back of the tshirt?! thatd be mad so all could read it ! and not in small on the front


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,745 ✭✭✭swiss


    boardsclubtext.jpg

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,645 ✭✭✭✭nesf

    "I'm gonna get me a Boards Club one for deffo. The Che one is cool too, might get that on a mug. Who/what is he?"

    He was Ché Gueverra a Cuban revolutionary and political figure.

    He took part in riots against the dictator Juan Perón in 1952 in Argentina, joined agitators in Bolivia, and worked in a leper colony.

    In Mexico he met Fidel Castro and other Cuban rebels. Guevara became Castro’s chief lieutenant soon after the rebel invasion of Cuba in 1956, in which he proved to be a resourceful guerrilla leader. As president of the national bank after the fall (Jan., 1959) of Fulgencio Batista he was instrumental in cutting Cuba’s traditional ties with the United States and in directing the flow of trade to the Communist bloc.

    He left Cuba in 1965 to foster revolutionary activity in the Congo and other countries. In 1967, directing an ineffective guerrilla movement in Bolivia, he was wounded, captured, and executed by government troops

    the picture is the original was a picture by irish artist Jim Fitzpatrick (also designed Thin Lizzy album sleeves) he didn't copyright the image and allowed anyone to use it. It now is featured on millions of t-shirts around the world. The one on the boards t-shirt is a skit of that done in the style of the boards.ie cartoon guys and designed be me.

    ...

    Princess Breasts,
    King Pha'tarse,
    The Good Queen Twa'tpha'ce,
    The knight Sir Prancealot the Brave and Terminally Stupid,
    Keanu, butler to the Princess, his father "Vader" (the plumber), and his warrior cousins Cruise and Sheen,
    The Royal Maid,
    Eugene Extrapolation, his ancester, Tom (who has a legendary gangrenous leg),
    Puunak "the receiver", great great grandson of Cyril, the original Killimonga Platypus, and his long-lost psycho-ninja brother "Bill",
    Cocaine the white stallion and his father "Shergar",
    Gary Kasparov (and his edible Ethiopian underwear),
    Maria von Trapp (bit-part),
    His Eminence, Lemmy (from Motorhead), the Pope,
    The ubiquitous clan of William and the Baldwins (all 11,000 of them),
    Luke Skywalker (bit-part),
    Ali W (Ali G's poor cousin),
    The Incredibly Dangerous Army of Platypi.
