Inventive use of potatoes
by Jenny Hopkins 13 Jan '04

Subject: Most (Or Least) Creative Use Of Potatoes (NFC, DeutscheCon) German Police Investigate Potato Computer Scam BERLIN (Reuters) - German police are investigating after an angry man returned a computer he had just bought saying it was packed with small potatoes instead of computer parts. The store replaced the computer free of charge but became suspicious when he returned a short time later with another potato-filled computer casing, police in the western city of Kaiserslautern said on Monday. "The second time he said he didn't need a computer any more and asked for his money back in cash," a police spokesman said. Police are now investigating the man for fraud. ________________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned for all viruses by the MessageLabs Email Security System.

US act of war on Yorkshire
by MJ Ray 12 Jan '04

12 Jan '04

Apparently the USAF like East Yorkshire about as much as my brother. So, they bombed it. They probably ought to be careful, as I think Hull may still have enough money to start their own defence programme. http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_854997.html -- MJR/slef My Opinion Only and possibly not of any group I know.

If you're in the north or east of the region, you probably should fill out http://www.norwichareatransport.org/haveyoursay/questionnaire.asp and give your views on Norwich Congestion Charging and the Northern Bypass. If you're in the south or west, you might like to support http://www.castiron.org.uk/ or http://www.cambrail.org/ who are taking up the 1990s Cambs CC plan to reopen the north Cambridge railway. -- MJR/slef My Opinion Only and possibly not of any group I know.

T-Shirts etc.
by Keith Watson 19 Nov '03

19 Nov '03

I've been looking round at some of the more local businesses who will do this sort of thing. Basically I asked about half a dozen about T-Shirts, Sweatshirts (well actually Sweatshits, but they seemed to understand what I meant) and Polo shirts, in various sizes and colours with TUX surmounting the characters ALUG or the text Anglian Linux Users Group over the left breast. Talking T's in Cambridge replied with; > Prices for an embroidered logo left breast size would be as follows: > Set up charge £40 - £70 > For a total quantity between 3 and 11: t-shirts £10.90, sweatshirts £13.75 > For a total quantity of between 12 and 23: T-shirts £9.10, sweatshirts £12.20 > For a quantity of between 24 and 49: T-shirts £8.20, sweatshirts £10.60 > For just one: T-shirts £21.90, sweatshirts £24.75 > > For a 3 colour screenprint white, black, orange (the shaded areas won't > print well) we have a minimum quantity of 12. 3 screens @ £20 = £60 > 12 - 23: T-shirts £8.30, sweatshirts £12.25 > 24 - 49 T-shirts £6.15, sweatshirts £10.60 > > If items were to be posted individually this would be an extra £1.50 - £3 per > parcel. Please don't forget to add VAT @ 17.5% to all of the above. Penta Online (Peterborough) replied with; > There would be no upfront costs involved, you would only have to pay for the > garments and embroidery ordered. > > We have punched out your suggested logo > > Embroidered Garment Costs would be: > > T-shirts #8.50 to #9.95, > Polo Shirts #11.50 to #14.70 > Sweat Shirts #14.00 to #16.50 > Fleeces from #19.00 > > All prices include VAT at current rate. To see the punched out logo they supplied go to <http://www.kpwatson.ukfsn.org/alug/ALUG.bmp> Dandis out at Barham Broom replied; > HI EMBROIDERY IS THE BEST WAY > TO SET UP APPROX £36-£42 > £1.80-£2.10 TO SEW > S/SHIRTS FROM £5.00 > T/S FROM £2.50 > POLOS FROM £4.00 > DEPENDING ON QUANTITIES And I've yet to ring a chap called Mark Gregg from a company whose name I cannot for the life of me remember. Another option I've considered is perhaps getting hold of some garments and doing it ourselves. www.choicestationery.com do; T Shirt Transfers - A4 T Shirt Transfer Material 10 Sheets Iron On, Includes Full instructions 5.99 Including VAT at 17.5% OR Dark T Shirt Transfers A4 Dark T Shirt Transfer Material - Ideal for Dark T-Shirts & Materials 10 Sheets Iron On, Includes Full Instructions 6.99 Including VAT at 17.5% OR EVEN Glow In The Dark T Shirt Transfers! A4 3 Sheets 6.73 Including VAT at 17.5% Anybody had any experience with the above? Feedback, comments, further actions please. Keith
