The Romsey Triangle

The Romsey Triangle has long been full of mysteries. The vast three sided segment of Cambridge in the UK, bordered by Abbey, Petersfield and Coleridge has had many names.

However it didn't acquire its most famous nickname until 1964, when my uncle Dave went out for a few pints only to awake a full 48 hours later with all of his money missing and his trousers gone without a trace. No natural explanation could be found.

Is it an area where the normal laws of physics simply don't apply? Could, under the surface, lie an ancient and mythical city? Are alien forces at work? Might it just be all one giant hoax or is a government cover-up in operation? Limbo of the Lost. The Twilight Zone. The Hoodoo Town. The Devil's Triangle. The answer is still a secret only known to the Romsey Triangle.

Oooohhhh Matron!

I walked into a bar recently and ordered a double entendre... so the bartender gave me one.... sorry, old joke I know, but being force fed a diet of Benny Hill and Carry On films as I was growing up in the UK I thought pretty much that was how the whole world worked. I am still left with a lingering, childish and fairly puerile love of cheap innuendo. Celebrating this refusal to grow up I present you with Melons, a wonderful category of fruit encompassing watermelons, cantaloupes, and cheap innuendo.... mmmm melons are great.......


So while I'm busy lowering your standards let me introduce another new design. Dirty Sexy Money is an American television series which I have to admit I only first noticed because it had Donald Sutherland in it. I've had a deep heterosexual man love for him ever since I saw Kelly's Heroes. As far as I'm concerned he can do no wrong. Anyway back off the tangent, back to the shirts. This one is for the Mum's who still have it. So if you have got it, go ahead, get the shirt, here's your chance to flaunt it.

And if you have got it... well got ideas for anything you would like to see on a t-shirt, leave a comment on our blog and we will see what we can do!

Welcome to Reality Checkpoint!

So new product at last, a real local shirt for local people! Marking the mid-point between town and gown the Reality Checkpoint stands proud in the middle of Parker's Piece. It's been a Cambridge landmark since the early 1970s. The name comes from an unofficial inscription which first painted on the lamp post (allegedly) by students from CCAT (now Anglia Ruskin University) under the guidance of one of their teachers.

Whether it really marks the boundary between the 'reality bubble' and the 'real world' or just because it forms a useful landmark for drunk, befuddled or fog bound, it is the only light for hundreds of yards and makes me smile every time I pass on my way home!

Show it some love and check the new shirts out here.
