I'm sure they'll turn up ovinetuelly.
baaa army
Ewe've got to have been mad to have missed out on this baaaaagain.
Silence of the lambs! Absolutely priceless thread this chaps. Contains threats of bodily harm, collusion in the production of counterfeit goods and worst of all, a shattered legend! Keep up the good work, it's better than Corrie's 50th anniversary episodes!
On the occasions I met him he seemed a good bloke. Little scatter brained. I bought a frame off him which took him 6 weeks to post. They guy isn't going to do a runner with £1500 for headlight. He's been a major part of the uk MTV scene for what? Nearly 25 years? Probably good friends with Chipps and Mark. Timbur (I think knows him well too). While yes if it was just some pleb off a forum a lynching would be in order the guy won't want to possibly ruin his livelihood for a few quid! As someone said earlier try BR or better yet ask someone at MBUK or WMB to contact him. Doesn't Jenn Hopkins still write for them?
Are you still bleating over your rings?
Legendary thread
or Troll in disguise? 😉
schleck in his sheep ring

The guy needs a slap. His last communication stated he had work to do hence putting this on the back burner.
Now correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't commissioning these parts "work" to him as it's using his intellectual property/ trademark/ whatever and it was done through him to keep it all official.
So he's taken cash off you lot for his "work" yet he's not sent the items because he doing other "work"
➡
Yep, he does sound like a nasty piece of "work".
Wait until the items eventually arrive (if ever) though, and I bet there'll be some saps saying "see, he's honest after all".
Just tell him to Flock Off
Mods: If this counts as me trying to pull the wool over the swear filters eyes please feel free to Baaaaaan me!
This is a classic thread. I still have no idea what it's about but it's a great read.
From what I Herd, a Flock of STW'ers feel that JoB is either acting the Goat or worse, a bit of a wolf in Sheeps clothing because he's pulled the Wool over their eyes by taking cash in advance for some silver "Mint Sauce" related trinkets (they are NOT keyrings).
Now they are worried that he's Fleeced them because he's gone a bit Mutton geoff and isn't responding to their enquiries about where they are. He hasn't been on the site to answer the questions so I suspect he's feeling a bit Sheepish about the whole thing and he's become a bit of a sacrificial Lamb to the Slaughter to be honest and the unhappy customers on here are giving him a bit of a Roasting and they all want a Slice of him.
If I were Ewe I'd keep reading and I do hope JoB Bucks the trend he's been showing of late and that everyone gets their bling before Crimbo or else he really will be a bit of a black Sheep of the STW family.
I've just been dipping in & out of this up to now, and wondered if the lambasting was unfair (you know, they gambolled and lost) but maybe it's time to round up all those involved for their complaints to be herd. I mean, the shear cheek of it !
Has anyone got their keyrings yet?
No, they are all still in a right Hoof
Don't have a cow man...
I thought they'd have been delivered by now. I must be a bit woolly headed.

fair enough then he has earned the right to be disrespectful to people whose money he has and not deliver goods in a timely manner.. always better to messed around by [ mtb] aristocracy than a commomer IME.
Sorry for the absence of puns

That's about it. As Junkyard says above, it's about respect (or rather the lack of it). Fans who have bought and paid for stuff are obviously not worth his time and effort. I suppose that's what happens when you are a c.e.l.e.b.r.i.t.y 🙄

they will probably arrive in the Spring!
Don't shag the sheep.

I mean, it's bound to take a while. After all, One Man (and his dog) can only do so much
Years ago i worked for a holiday company that offered jo a holiday in return for an article about his trip.
He took us up on this offer,rode with us, ate with us and made merry with us.
Did he write the article? no.
it was allways on the burner. 🙄
of course this may all have been a dream.
So trying to earn an honest living isn't very high on his agenda then?

Seems like news of Jo's glacial pace has made it outside STW
With the almost total lack of communication from JoB, I guess he lives in a baaaaaan.
Does anyone on here actally live near Jo? I doubt we will ever get these unless someone goes and picks them up from him, I mean, he does live 7 minutes walk from the nearest post office! (Not posting the google map but trust me!)
Sorry Jo you've really let everyone down here
Such a shame, I really enjoyed the comics 🙁

The crucial line: "though Jo Burt's busy workload means that delivery times for these can be protracted." appears to have been added at 18:18 on 9 December 2010 🙄
Did he go on the same customer service course as Dave Hinde?

Sounds just like the experience I have had of the fellow, not that I'm Baaaater, I would just like to see the (Welsh) Tenor he Ewes me, that or some fresh (lamb) skewers back.
Git!
He's lost me as a reader.
I've not spent any cash with him as my slothfulness in buying stuff is as strong as Jo's to make anything.
No he's lost me as a reader because since I hit 40 I can't read all that little text at the edge of all his cartoons.
One day perhaps I'll get round to buying reading glasses.
He'll be popping up in panto over Christmas...they love a camp villain.
he's pulled the wool over everyone's eyes.
he's fleeced you good and proper.
Must say, as a Mint Sauce 'fan' for 20 years or more, it saddens me a bit to see Jo not sorting this matter out as well as should be expected.
I hope the finished products are worth it, is all I can say.
think JoB should have a bad traders ban on here as this is a royal bad trade 🙄
They arrived yet?
According to his latest tweet he's not that busy today.

one more procrastinating coffee and then i should go ride a bike really[/i]
No. Don't tweet. Can you put up a reply? 'One more procrastinating coffee then you should really go post some spangles really'
Are sheep the new octopuses now then?
flaming ostriches I think.
I hope the finished products are worth it, is all I can say
good luck with that.
all i see is an overpriced trinket of dubious merit made by a shyster who doesn't give a toss about his customers.
Dunno if you saw but on the 11th he tweeted:
[i]has seen what he wants for christmas, the carved wooden meerkat for sale in the post office[/i]
So he's been to the post office, just not with your stuff 😈

I really don't know why you guys haven't made more of a fuss about this and put more serious things into motion. I'd be fuming if it was my money he'd stolen.
put more serious things into motion
In amongst the Christmas cards, Mr Burt found, among other things (including some carefully wrapped dog faeces) a neatly folded court order injuncting him to deliver up some silver sheep.
