Well done Bryn, super photos. You seem to have set a standard there ! Pity you didn't have one with YOU holding the T shirt ! So you'll just have to send a photo to Kev for the FG video, if it isn't too late !

*bump*

My friend the t-shirt has left to resume his travels.

Sad as I am to see him go, he is a free roaming spirit and it would be cruel to hold him back.

Farewell my friend, it was good to have known you for a while.

You sure did show him a good time Bryn...Great pics:-6

I have never understood the travelling t-shirt. I've read the whole thread and I may have missed what it's about but could someone explain for me and any new members. Is it always the same shirt travelling?Will it travel forever? Thanks.

It should have been the same t-shirt but the original was lost. Kathy Ellen kindly obtained a replacement.

The Travelling T-Shirt's World Tour is a way of linking members. As it travels from member to member it leaves a photographic record of the places it's visited and (sometimes) the members who've hosted it.

The photo's give the rest of us an idea of where the host lives and the sights to be seen.

Fairly harmless but I, for one, enjoyed taking it round London and looking for photo opportunities.

Very well explained!! And coming from someone that has had the shirt, Bryn is absolutely correct in the linking members. I was fortunate enough to meet a member just to take pics with the shirt, and it was really cool! I also enjoyed looking for photo oportunities in my area....amazing how you sometimes take your surroundings for granted!

Buttercup had a great idea, I hope the T-shirt keeps on traveling....

Wish I'd known about this before. I'm going to Buckingham Palace next weekend...never mind I'll try and post some pics anyway....

Thank you Bryn! :-6

I think that Neffy has the shirt now. Hope she takes lots of pictures:-6

Hi, wondering who has the travelling tshirt now.....would love to see some pictures:-6

I got it but did not know who it was from:-3 sorry folks i will take a pic and send it on but who to???

Hi Neffy,



Bryn sent it to you. If no one wants the shirt, why don't you send it back to Buttercup.

It has dozens of people still to pass on to - I'll go next if I may.

will be posting on to you spot at the weekend

Ahhhhh, that's good Neffie...hope the "little Yankee guy" was behaved in the UK. Would love to see some pics of you before he visits Spot.....

How about me after Spot???

We'll do that. Does the Tamar Bridge have a Checkpoint Charlie where I can hand it over?

Hey Spot, don't give our little Yankee a hard time about his teams ok:wah:.

He's a very sensitive lad and enjoys a Smithwicks once in a bit...

He'll enjoy his time in Bristol but he might have some curry stains down his front before he arrives at Betty's.

Yikes!! :wah:

Hi,



Does anyone have the travelling tshirt????

Guess the shirt is lost again. Oh well...I won't ask again

*BUMP*

Spot did you receive the shirt off Neffy?

Somewhere about a hundred pages ago I asked if it could come to Jim and I but no one sent it to us :-1



Hope you are well Kathy :-4

Hi Suzy, the original shirt was lost and Kathy has kindly bought another to keep it going so I can see why she is upset people cant update on its whereabouts.

Oh no, I didn't know the original got lost, who had it last? Do you want me to get them for you Kathy? :sneaky::sneaky:

Thanks Chezzie:-4



I love this thread and just want it to go on. I just wish that members would say that they have it, take some pics ,or not, and then send it on. Otherwise, it becomes lost or forgotten.



Just hope this new shirt is not lost like the last one.

Ahhhhhh Chezzie:-4 You are always my beautiful friend:-6



This is not even my thread, but Buttercups, but I thought it was a wonderful idea. I just can't understand how someone could keep the shirt and not pass it on

Let's hope it is just a glitch and its travelling to another FG member soon:-4

I've been waiting for it to arrive from neffy, it's not here yet. If neffy's posted it then it's in a post office somewhere and getting returned to sender, which takes a few weeks. I've been looking forward to introducing it to Bristol's less salubrious pubs and corners and posting the pics to a horrified threadful of Travelling Shirt fans. I'm sure we'll get it sorted.

I only just saw the thread bump or I'd have spoken earlier.

Is anyone here in regular contact with Neffy?

If not I will pm her here, havent seen her in a while though:-3

If you could then that might help, yes.

I have pm'd her.

I will wait a week as she doesn't come here regulary.

I'll give her a shout, tell her shes being hunted down :wah:

She may well have posted it, I'm merely confident that it's not been delivered here and that there's no card from the postman telling me it's available for collection. I've had two parcels evaporate in the post in the last year, this could easily be a third.

The original shirt is not lost. Pinky has it & has p.m'd me twice to say she will post it on but has never actually got round to doing it.

You know there was a teddy bear that travelled around the world twice on another forum, not once was there a hitch, c'mon FG members pull it together. If you dont seriously want to do this please dont ask for the shirt, its not fair on the rest of us who really enjoy the thread.

I agree Buttercup......What's the big deal with putting the shirt back into the post...So many of us want to see the adventures of the shirt.



I would have loved to keep "Yankee Boy" longer and bring him for a night on the town in New York, but I wanted to pass it on to Bryn. I also realized that one day he would come back to Noo Joisey, and I would treat him to a fun night on the town then.

Does anyone have a back-channel link to Neffy?

Bryn Mawr;1008529 wrote: Does anyone have a back-channel link to Neffy?


Betty Boop was giving her a shout, I pm'd her but nothing.

Bristol does have a t-shirt company with an outlet on the Cheltenham Road.

If those interested would care to examine http://www.beast-clothing.com/tshirts.php - particularly "ow Bist, me Babber" or "Ark at Ee" - and decide, however reluctantly, that a Bristolian flavour might be added to ForumGarden's Shirt Adventure, I'd be more than happy to pick up our most popular choice, give it a good time around town and forward it in short order.

Given the FG ladies who might end up modelling it around their home turf, my own preference would be for "Ginormous, innum", but I'm certainly not going to put it on myself if it says that. Though I note they do sell underwear with a similar refrain.

I'm surprised they can get away with "yer we arr baaf sparr" in that neck of the woods :wah:

My vote would be for "alright my luvver?" for sentimental reasons or "theyz me daps mind" for the same reasons as yours.

I read this thread yesterday and took the liberty of leaving a message on MSN for neffy. Bless her she contacted me back, saying she had not been well and other probs. She also did not know Spot's address to send the T shirt on to. (she said she had photos). I have notified Spot and have left him neffy's email addy so he can make contact with her. I hope things will be OK. :-6
