It’s a deal. We’ll start an entire range. Perhaps being the festive period we could start by putting them in Christmas crackers?

Anyone else see the irony in JB’s latest “The Last Word” article in January’s “What MTB”. Basically all about how he refuses to accept tardiness and a lack of punctuality from others..

Mine just arrived now, must have been held up in the snow.

Definitely worth the wait though…

chakaping – That looks amazing, can I lend it for a few days? I fancy getting some made in fools gold.

Yes Mr GF – saw that today. I lol’d 😀

I’ve got that same Belkin gel pad, but mine isn’t all nasty and scummy like that one. Euurgh. 🙁

Is that a beermat? I quite like that actually.

looks like something that was available as a job lot at a liquidation sale.

Can some lend me a jar of mint sauce….. sorry wrong forum!

You ordered a drinks coaster by mistake then… 😉

Isn’t there a chap on here who makes cuff links out of silver plated chain links? I might fancy a set of those now.

chapaking – do you wear clown’s trousers, by any chance? You’d need to to have any chance of getting that in the pockets

Little update from the OP. Someone sent me a mint sauce key ring to keep, completely gratis out of the kindness of their heart.

Sometimes your faith in human nature gets a proper boost.

Much appreciated!

how are these holding up? i’m thinking of getting one next year but don’t want an aura of disappointment to sour the initial post delayed gratification euphoria.

and no user pics yet? hanging next to your niche singlespeed(or inbred),
casually arranged next to your coffee machine or dangling out of the ignition of your pointless psudo-4×4 vehicle?

or are you all ashamed of your purchases?

Is psudo pretending to be pseudo?

psudo is the new family orientated outward bound adventure utility vehicle from izuzu

And is Izuzu an off-shoot of Isuzu?

I wonder how non-MBUK reading people react upon seeing them
“What’s that keyring supposed to be?”
“It’s Mint Sauce, a mountain biking sheep from a comic”
“You what? It looks nothing like a sheep”
“Well, this is an abstract representation of the cartoon, which itself is an abstract representation of a sheep”
“How much did it cost?”
“Erm”
“Do you have any other cartoon-related trinkets? Gold plated Dennis the Menace & Gnasher badges, perhaps?”

i’m thinking of getting one next year

missed the boat there matey – early 2014 if you order by end of this month

That is nice.

Was it Jo Burt?

Unlikely

That keyring that was made, bit big to be of any use as a keyring really?

too big for a keyring? maybe they could be used as a saddle dangler?
swinging in the breeze with gay abandon sending out a coded message to other mountainbikers?

What’s wrong with a hankerchief in the back pocket?

it might fall out? a keyring saddle dangler would be more secure?

I’ve managed to avoid this thread thus far but curiosity has finally gotten the better of me. Any chance of a quick summary haiku to get me up to speed please? Yes, too lazy to read all 12 pages. Ta.

I’ve only half kept tabs, therefore don’t know if Chapaking is taking the piss or not….? 😕

pedalhead not a haiku but;

a) man wants sheepy keyring to copy
b) sheep creator offers to sort it out – lots of people decide to buy
c) process takes a long time, people (largely not the buyers) get uppity and ladle abuse on sheep man.
d) items arrive, some people question resemblance of items to said sheep.

lol excellent summary, thanks….and the end result is the drinks coaster pictured above..?

Well worth reading all 12 pages, it’s known as “the thread that keeps giving”.

Could somebody post a photo of the sheep that doesn’t look like THE sheep!

That coaster was given away free with MBUK

Well worth reading all 12 pages, it’s known as “the thread that keeps giving”.

ah heck, I’m doing a full install of Tracklogs v1 through v3 which will take the best part of an hour on this laptop anyway, so why not…

you’re right, that was definitely worth reading. Marvellous.

Bloody Tracklogs is still installing though.

I’ve only half kept tabs, therefore don’t know if Chapaking is taking the piss or not….?

Well if you don’t know, I’m not going to tell you.

😉

I’ve lurked long enough after looking long and hard to find this page from an old MBUK:

mint2 by dandelionandmurdoch, on Flickr

Wish I ‘d found it sooner when the ‘COMING SOON…’ label would have been more appropriate…

Those are the keys to a desk,or petty cash box yes? Because otherwise that keyring would be huge…oh wait.

For those of you who just can’t wait for these to arriveIn case you missed out – I have a cunning plan.

1. Take an old issue of MBUK.
2. Find the Mint Sauce cartoon and select a favourite section.
3. Cut out said section.
4. Fit to this;

5. Hey presto your own Mint Sauce keyring.
6. If it turns out great and you wan’t to express your gratitude send me one with “Summer” on, I am missing her.

I would make them and sell them if it wasn’t so easy to do yourself. I’m the guy who makes those chain cufflinks BTW.

For those of you who just can’t wait for these to arrive

I thought they already had and people were now just kicking through the ashes of the ire that was burning before?

My Mint Sauce earrings still haven’t arrived though.

it looks like a hippo taking a dump?
looks nothing like a sheep FFS.

He’s right, and it’s legs seem to be growing out of it’s nipples

I quite like it, I’m thinking of getting some done myself.
