I was thinking:

UGLY
PRIMITIVE
JUVENILE
OFFENSIVE

in lovely big Bodoni MT Black...

That was my initial thought, with "dire at every level" on the front and maybe a subtle ukb on the sleeve.
But equally "dire at every level" across the back and ukb/ukbouldering on the front
or some comibination of, but i wouldn't wear the UKC mockup, as magpie said, from afar you could be mistaken...

I was interested to read you guys haven't met. Figured you were friends in a traditional sense. Guess it's just an automatic assumption on my part.

Good luck.

 :great:

I hope that even with the adverts / shop whatever the juvenile pontification and generally nil level of moderation will continue.

Keeping bubba on was a stroke of genius.

as for clothing..

[ wad ] [ punter ] is the logo I prefer.

Nice move! Glad you are on board Simon, i think that Toby bloke is a bit of knob though, and he smells of wee.

Seriously, it's great that it's been bought by someone within our little community.
The rumour I'd heard previously was that we'd been bought by venture capitalists who were going to break the site up and sell it off in bits. The word was that Johnny Brown had been bought by a North Wales Limestone bouldering site, Magpie had been sold to a site run by Hamsters that specialised in squeezing wee Scots Lasses until their eyes bulged, and that the NHS had repossessed PaulB.
It's a relief...

Can we pay extra for personalised message T shirts? I don't say much on this site but do turn it on for laughs and good information. Hence, as a professional with a bit of spare cash, if I can help the site by getting slightly overcharged for a modified standard UKB T shirt which said as an example:

' "Steve... you've forgotten to take your medication again."  Mick Ryan'

How could I not take up the offer? Helping to keep UKB, UKB and all that.

It's also been a real financial bonus for me to lift me out of a bit of a current hole - funny how smashing my car up has led to all this!

So, what car you going to get to celebrate your dot com fortune, Bubbs?

dire at every level: ugly, primitive, juvenile and offensive
