    Modern bubblejet, some messing around in Photoshop
    or similar, a $20 pack of T-Shirt transfer paper and a
    shirt to print to... some ironing.. done.

    The print setting on most bubblejet printers will enable you to do that
    the paper is available from Officeworks. A tip, text/words work bette
    than images

    Now where did I put it, ah, there it is. "HP Iron-On T-Shirt Transfers
    Cool-peel inkjet transfers for t-shirts, caps, bags and more" Can ge
    the paper for both light and dark coloured fabrics. From experience i
    tends to be a bit fiddly and be careful on stretchie fabrics. About 1
    quid a packet for 10 A4 sheets (from memory

    BTW, Stu, you back in Melbourne? :cool

    How fiddly/detailed can you get with these

    ie how small could type remain legible

    and would fiddling with curves/levels in photoshop help in photoshop
    (as im betting they work better from a cmyk file than youre standard RG
    to cmyk conversino when printing...

    Ah, best to keep it simple as possible. Wouldn't do anything details o
    too small/large, as you will have problems with the edges and ironin
    times etc

    I re-printed a bright yellow Ferrari tshirt from Dimmies with "don'
    make a bike that i like" under the logo. Looks good, just to watch th
    plastic film on stretch fabrics. Also tried ironing a larger colou
    image of Beryl Burton on a ringer tee. Over did up the ironing time. S
    the moral of this, is either to have plenty of time & experiment, or ge
    what you want professionally printed

    How about

    "Aussies, Kiwis, English, French, Germans, Italians, Russians,
    Japanese, Americans, Jews and many others _did_ die to power this
    bike"

    Maybe not... if it doesn't fit on a Tshirt it isn't worth saying.

    Ritch

    One I saw in London that I will be copying soon:

    "I'm a bomb technician. If you see me running try to keep up"

    (Yes, yes, bad taste.. whatever..)

    Easy, it will be on a person who doesn't know how to do basic maths...

  10. The classic T shirt slogans:

    After Gulf War 1 (still relavent)

    Big arabic lettering with the following sub titles underneath: "I am not
    an American"

    After the LA Police Beating Rodney King incident:

    "LAPD - We will treat you like a King"

    It won't help.

    Ask the Bali bombers - .

    "The Sari club was a place of adultery," said Ali Imron, the bomb-maker, in
    an interview with The Sunday Times. "In short, it was a place of
    sin so it deserved to be demolished."

    The club was chosen because the bombers thought it would be full of
    Americans, they said. In the event, seven Americans died while 89 victims
    were Australian. "Australians, Americans, whatever - they are all white
    people," Ali said.

    ---------------------

    Or the Islamic Army of Aden -

    If you were to pick only one Western nation not to blow up the oil tankers
    of, the French would be it.

    But they got blown up anyway (French oil tanker Limburg off the coast of
    Yemen) And afterwards a spokesman for the Islamic Army of Aden said, 'We
    would have preferred to hit a US frigate, but no problem because they are
    all infidels.'

    -----------------

    Or Hussein Massawi, former leader of Hezbollah, neatly put it, 'We are not
    fighting so that you will offer us something. We are fighting to eliminate
    you.'

    --------------------

    Yep, I'd sure be relying on that T-Shirt to save me,

    So. What would we have to do to get rid of the threat of terrorism from
    al-Qa'ida? Pulling out of Iraq would not begin to be enough.

    Here are some of the demands spelled out by Osama bin Laden and the head of
    Jemaah Islamiah, Abu Bakar Bashir:

    Pull out of the UN;

    Pull out of the US alliance;

    Return East Timor to Islamic rule;

    Support the return of the extreme form of Islamic rule to the following:
    Afghanistan, Southern Spain, southern Philippines, southern Thailand,
    Malaysia, significant parts of China, many of the republics created from the
    former Soviet Union and, of course, all of North Africa and the Middle East;

    Drive the Jews of Israel into the sea;

    Persecute homosexuals;

    Ban alcohol;

    Prevent women working or being educated, or appearing in public without full
    covering dress;

    Require women to obey men.

    Pull out of the UN, fair enough, it's corrupt from top to bottom anyway and
    I
    can certainly see the sense in requiring women to obey men :-) but the rest
    is simply not an option and all the slogans in the world won't change that.

    That's been around in various forms since the mid 80's. Still own
    ancient Celibate Rifles t-shirt with a similar theme. Tee hee, old punk
    never die, just wear bicycle attire & SPD's these days instead o
    studded biker jackets and Doc's....:

    The point is a simple one, it doesn't matter to them that you support them.

    They still want you dead.
