My Little Hosting Project - I got my mug this morning, but due to issues opening it I haven't been able to bring it into

I got my mug this morning, but due to issues opening it I haven't been able to bring it into work. I will take some pics of Tom's overzealous use of tape ;o) and post it up tomorrow.

better safe than sorry I always say.

WelshStew · 27th July 2009, 07:28 PM

as it arrived:

after going at it with the scissors, scythe and blow torch:

whoo-hooo, it's ready for some serious tea drinking:

off to put the kettle on

Nice :D Let me know if you've got any more going spare :D

WelshStew · 28th July 2009, 08:29 AM

Managed to remember to take my new mug to work, and as promised here is my Pirate having tea.

Everyone in work loves it and want one; and as a bunch of IT geeks the first thing they recognised is the flux capacitor

What i normally do when I wrap stuff in tape is draw a line around and mark where the person should cut.. however this time after I wrapped it up I forgot where the line was as its a weird shape.

Welshstew you wouldn't mind emailing me some larger versions of the image would you? tom {at} ticlion.com

what do you think to the quality? this is the 2nd version they sent me.

WelshStew · 28th July 2009, 01:56 PM

Happy to, just let me know which image? Work/pirate ones had to be taken with phone camera (not allowed real cameras in work) so the quality won't be too good unfortunately.

The mug is, well a mug. The printing is a bit meh tbh. The faded grey has come out sort of purple, and the black is also a darker shade of purple.

Actually, it looks exactly like their printer was running out of ink....

However, I am still a very happy tea drinker.

Tom · 29th July 2009, 04:14 PM

Wrams, I will send you one out :) pm me your address so I can get it on its way.

It will be coming direct from the printers so may take 5-7 days to arrive.

Jordan · 29th July 2009, 04:37 PM

I would like one, Tom.

Tom · 30th July 2009, 09:03 PM

Jordan I will put you on the list.

Wrams yours has been ordered and should be with you within a week (hopefully).
