Illadel, hail from Phillie in the US of A and make inks, not just any old inks, but heavy stainers and HEAVY pigment paints, apparently they are better than Krink. We are considering stocking it in store, what do you think ???????

Ironlak was due in this week, but they are not the quickest at shipping, to much of that Australian Sun and to much time spending watching Neighbours & Home&Away. Next Friday Ironlak will drop instore and be on sale, sorry guys for the delay, i know a few of you were looking forward to seeing it in the flesh.

Hard to admit being a die-hard Manchester United fan. But last night Barcelona deservedly so lifted the Uefa Champions League trophy again. Hard to take, but these things happen. Fraser.

Here we have the Summer 09 collection from the infamous 'The Hundreds', as alsways our best t/shirt brand and the best t/shirts in GLA. For the benefit of Struan, these are in stock today, sizes S-XXL, priced at £30 and will be available online tonight, about 8'ish.

Here we have a new product to the Fat Buddha pen range, the GROG 8mm cutters, in a gazillion colours and guaranteed to make you write like somebody that can write. Hoping to have these in stock for the weekend, and hope to see you before then.

Following on from the recent post about the DEATH wheels, here are some images of some of the Death decks due in, will be available instore & online ASAP.

The practice of using tips to make up workers’ pay to the minimum wage level is to be banned from October, the Government has announced. The move follows a long campaign by unions, pushing for greater transparency and clarity for customers in bars and restaurants.
