Hold that laptop you borrowed from Aston* over a strong heat source and the answer will appear.

Top Secret: Rien que pour vos yeux. Nous avons infiltre une espionne dans Aston.

Couldn't resist! 😁😁😁

Double, double, toil and trouble;
Sandbox burn, and data bubble.
Steampunk ink and lab shampoo,
In the cauldron boil and brew;
Gnaw of rat and growl of dog,
Hiss of cat, weird dialogue,
Gerbil’s squeak and dragon’s broth,
Wock of jabber, terven wrath.
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.

The cats loved it!

😂 Thanks, it was fun to do. I might work on the full play after I've done the washing up which could take some time. My kitchen, actually my whole home, looks like the aftermath of a coven's worth of cauldron-based experiments.

I've just gone to order myself a shirt and it's out of stock.
😪

OK. Will do. H&S advice much appreciated.

I'm expectong a likkle dolivery this weeek, will repart bick and then make anither order.

🎤🎸... on bass guitar, Officer Crabtree. Good moaning, officer, great to have you with us...🎼

Pouvait quelqu'un encore mettre le lien pour la site? Merci.

Hello - yes there do seem to be availability issues for the long sleeve t-shirt in sizes 14-18. Apologies from the gerbils, who don't do fulfilment, mainly because their arms are not long enough.

I have added a jumper, which is a bit more expensive but is available in these sizes, and in a very glorious teal.

I could also do a sweatshirt and a mug if anyone is interested.

Also, about a thousand years ago, someone asked for a baseball shirt and that's added too.

Am about to work on Grimut Gerbils logo...

And finally for the moment, a mug.

More seriously, this is now the hidden MN store, so if anyone wants a particular slogan or design, just ask...

I have little impulse control at the best of times so it's unsurprising I've just bought bags, t shirt and a mug! I'm sure enough stuff will come along (fingers crossed for FeckOffAstonUniversityDoxingDepartment suggestion of a t shirt saying

’Aston University Scraped My Corpus & All I Got Was This Lousy T Shirt’

To push me into free delivery territory again sometime soon!

This thread is turning into a thread on how to spend money on things you didn't know you needed, like t-shirts and mugs for us mumsnetters and expensive lawyers for Aston University!

https://grimut-gerbils.teemill.com/product/seventies-gerbil-long-sleeve-t-shirt/ This. In the earthy orange colour, size 12.

Has ruined my afternoon, I tell you. Ruined it. I have been forced to self-soothe with chocolate biscuits, so when I'm not a size 12 any longer, it's tee-mill's fault!

I think you'll find its Aston university's fault.

I mean in a long winded kind of way, but deffo their fault.

Honest.

Cant edit, sigh.

Sooo how many of these items have sold?
Any money made yet?

I've got a t and tote bag in my basket, I'm just waiting on something else to catch my eye and free delivery

Wilhelmina Shakespeare there!

Can the steampunk cat image be printed on the baseball T-shirt, or is that shirt design text only?

Just popping back to say that I met the real, original Officer Crabtree recently and he was charming. Or should that be cheermong?

It can be and is ready now:

@EdithStourton Yes that is very annoying, there are some irritating shortages on the long-sleeved t-shirts. I will enquire.

@Winnading So far the gerbils have taken orders for 11 things and have stashed £8.90 for charity (profit is set to minimum so this will take a while... keep buying). Do you have any requests? I am going to buy a mug, I think.

Oh, and @Boiledbeetle I will set the graphics department onto that when they have produced the Grimut Gerbils logo t-shirt...

@EdithStourton The gerbils are finding that there is a shortage of red things with long sleeves on Teemill, below is their best attempt. Available in 12.
