Incredible Hulk
A convivial evening out on the town with work. 10 of us out for drinks at our local, then 4 of us on to dinner at my favourite Chinese. My colleague over from New York paid for it all (fear not, it’ll be recharged to the company’s social budget).
A successful shopping excursion at midday, just a short meander out at lunchtime. I bought an Incredible Hulk t-shirt from FCUK and some shoes. The shoes are half smart/half trainer hybrids, the sort I’d wanted as I can wear them with semi-smart work trousers. £30 from Zara in the sale. The t-shirt was from FCUK and in the sale. I really liked the Batman ones too, but didn’t buy one in the end.
I nearly bought the Batman one too, but I dithered so much that “the beloved” nipped in and bought it for himself instead! Doh!

Mike – awww, you should have bought yourself one too. They had 3 or 4 different Batman ones .I liked the Joker (card) one in grey. Almost bought that. Will see if they reduce it again as January progresses. £20 is still a bit steep for a t-shirt. This Incredible Hulk one is really soft and fits really well.

Derek – yup, you can never have too many jackets or shoes in my book! Both last a long time if you buy decent ones. I still wear shoes I bought 9 or so years ago. I still wear jeans I bought in Japan 11 years ago. And at an ex’s house the other weekend (he is now a good friend) I saw a J Crew pullover I’d bought in the US in 1995!!!! In fairness though, I don’t wear it any more, and haven’t in ages.

Nice shirt. I think you need to go back and get the Batman one though. Batman can kick the Hulk’s ass.

Craig – talking of superhero t-shirts, I’ve just had a brainwave. Why don’t you create a Super Viagra one? I have no doubt whatsoever that people would buy them. I think you can do them at cafe press or whatever it’s called. Good idea?

Brilliant. But they’ve been open for a while and no one’s bought one.

I sold a few of the Evil Bunny ones, which is odd because I don’t like him as much, but perhaps people like the design of that one better.

Craig – those t-shirts are fab!!! Mate, they’re not being sold because people don’t know about them! I’ve visited your blog for what seems like forever and I didn’t know about them! You need a button or something on your website that will drive traffic there. They’re such cool characters you came up with. You could also add a signature to your gmail.

Glad you guys like them! I will try and be more diligent about promoting them.
Mike: Add me to your blogroll before I come over there and lay the smack down.

These are the Batman t-shirts. Am waiting for the end of the sale when they may drop in price again.

I like your shoes, Milo! We have a few Zara stores here in Vancouver, but oddly I rarely venture into them.

I LOVE the crouching Batman shirt.

Ryan – they’ll need wearing in. Gave me a lot of gyp the first day I wore them. Am back to my brown trainers now (the last pair I bought, you may recall). Yeh, I hardly ever go to Zara. This might be the first thing I’ve bought from them I think.
Craig – is that the 2-colour one? If so I almost bought that as it’s quite heavily reduced. The ones I really wanted were full price and as I have sooo many t-shirts, like most people, I didn’t bother.
