# *buys twelvty*
Burtons are selling Baron Greenback t-shirts now.

But they have that really irritating 'washed-out' look to make people think it's really old

# They'res till around

# I had a cardigan type thingy a few years ago
and I loved it. However, it wasn't one of those stupidly low neckline things the kids are wearing round my way!

I just went to their website, they are proper cheap now!

# You utter star, sir.
Thank you. I had a very sad day yesterday after hearing the news.

Someone put it rather well by saying "I feel that the last piece of my childhood died when I heard of his death".
Edit: Vulthoom, it was. I badly paraphrased him, too - and for that, apologies.
Quite so.

# indeed
I didn't know until I sat down for lunch and a coffee with the paper and I am all at once rather seriously down... this few paragraphs he wrote in 2003 were exceedingly good perfectly crystallised what's wrong with children's television today and what it should be about but isn't

I'm pretty sad about the whole thing... especially as he was so soundly neglected once children's TV decided moronic shite was the way to go.

# I had a 'throwing dinner at the radio' moment last night
When bloody Floella (sp?) Benjamin was banging on about how wonderful she was in Play School, completely missing the point about what genius Firmin & Postgate had. Silly witch.
