Artistic types have been known for shoddy comms over the years.. especially so the ones that exhibit as much poetic romanticism as we see in Burts cartoons each month..

i managed to hand in my trite sixth-form poetry on time.
finding a word to rhyme with tyre is no excuse for being a lazy bast**d

They are probably all just realising the keyrings are not real silver and have just been wrapped in tin foil.

I'd he[a]rd that the delays were due to a directive by DEFRA restricting their movement except under licence and that it took ages to get the necessary paperwork and forms completed.

Maybe that's why you're now a photographer and not an artist or poet.. ๐Ÿ™„

So photographers cannot be artists?

I was fondly remembering the outraged letters in [i]MBUK[/i] when Mint was [kind-of] killed off.

it's not art unless there's some colouring in.

Uplink.

Cartoons and animation are the best form of 20th and 21st century art.

This is not a tedious thread - it has the lot, including a happy ending for one and all! ๐Ÿ˜€ Apart from that bloke who does mint sauce who comes across as a bit of a berk but hey ho.

I'm sure I saw something similar skitter off the table and under my seat when I opened a Christmas cracker last Saturday. ๐Ÿ™‚

I really do hope that those who have waited this long are really happy with them. Personally, I'm glad I dropped out when I found he was getting a coloured face.

I like 'em. I ended up not ordering any because I was skint at the time, but they have turned out pretty much as I imagined them from the examples of other work that Jo emailed out. I would be happy, but very sheep-ticked off considering how long it's taken.

What a bunch of whingers you are, plus I've not seen people gather round to give someone a kicking since I was at school.

The product is as described; we who ordered did so after having a description of size, options and pictures of colours.

Ok it took a looooooooooooong time to turn up and Jo has been surprisingly uncommunicative for someone who "tweets" (?????? WTF?) but those of us with a memory will recall that other members of this illustrious forum warned us to expect nothing less, and that was quite early on.

Personally I have far better things to get stressed about, should I ever decide to try 'being stressed' than a delay in something which
a)makes no practical difference to my life
b)I wouldn't have ever had but for chancing on a thread on a forum
c)I paid a bloody fortune for so long ago it doesn't matter now

Chill people, listen to the friendly dolphins etc. Many of you should have spent time smoking pot before adulthood.

P.S. thanks Jo, I like it.

I see you point. Ingesting a shit load of marijuana probably would make them look kinda ok.

You'd need heroin as well, then look at them through squinted eyes.

After a good long hard look at the cufflinks, a brief contemplation of the thread and imagining the faces of those that received their goods this morning, I am going to take the good Jamie's advice and leave, glad that I didn't order and wait 12 months for something that bears a *passing* resemblance to Mint Sauce.
