Wishlists

Feeling generous and don't want to give me cash? Then buy me some shit!

  • T-shirt Hell - NOTE Please check current import duty restrictions for sending stuff to the UK. Order too many and the bastards will charge me!

  • ThinkGeek - got to love weird geeky stuff. Again, please note import restrictions - and the postage from here is ridiculous.
