can anyone pick us up a music complete flag at a gig please?
and a restless t shirt in xl?

pm if you can

Hi,

I think I PM'd you.. did you not receive it?
Problem is I am not a UK resident, but I have a friend who's currently working in London so I can ask him to post your stuff if needed.

Lemme know!

Yeah I've got the keyring and yes it's a cube but no good in your pocket as I had it in there for 2 hours and the design was half scratched off. Badge is very cool though.

Why has no one thought of a calendar using all the sleeve artwork through the years?

I couldn't help thinking that the merch designers may have got a couple of ideas from the forum/social media.

There's a twitter account called wen redro (someone from around here?) which is followed by some members of NO, and now there's a T Shirt with the name back to front (though why ewn redro instead of wen?).
And someone on this forum did a rotating cube graphic thingy a while ago with sleeve artwork changing as the cube turned, and now there is an MC cube theme on T shirts and keyrings.
Just sayin...

So you've got your Music Complete tea towel and keyring. Why not grab a NO "work jacket" for £75 (I reckon Primark would call this a Shacket)?
Or a travel bag, which reminds me of the days of rollbags, before everyone got luggage with wheels. Only £50!
Or a wallet for £45. You could pretend you stole it from Barney!

Well you pays your money and you takes your choice. I guess you could argue that these things are no worse than some of the compilations and endless remixes the fans have been suckered into over the years. I would ask myself whether I would buy these if "New Order" wasn't written on them, and then make a decision.

Oh it’s a tea towel! I seee..... doh, I’ve had it 5 years and never realised that’s what it was. I thought it was a kind of flag. But not a flag as the MC art design is only on one side. Now I can see it at least has some use. Never quite found a good use for it but now I have.

I keep meaning to get a pair, but my wife protests every time I suggest it.

I think she feels I'll become a little blasé.

Just for you, Mr Negative One, I hit the link in NOs tweet embedded above. It takes you to their "Black Friday Range" which indeed now has "no products matching the selection".
However if I hit "Merch", there they are.

Also available PCL socks and Christmas decorations (didn't someone mention that they wanted the decorations recently?).

Whichever way I get to Merch, either through the tweet or going to the website first , theres nothing in merch

Yes I was the one who was thinking about getting a couple of the Xmas tree baubles this year.

Well, have dug it out and took a photo. It’s fairly big . Takes up almost half the size of my front door. I don’t really know what it’s supposed to be really. A bit too big for a tea towel and the material isn’t really tea towel ish. Doesn’t work as a flag like in the Restless video as it’s blank white on the other side. Aren’t flags the same on both sides. Also, I don’t have a horse or know how to ride one , though I once rode a Camel in the Jordanian desert. Maybe I could stick it on a pole somehow and go out on my bicycle and try and recreate the bit at the end of the Restless video that way. I bought it at the Brixton gig Nov 2015.Hey, maybe I could hang it in my living room when there’s a NO gig on telly, like how Football fans hang their St George England flag up over the mantelpiece when the World Cup’s on

Just thinking now, wasn’t there an Music Conplete tea towel in the NO merch store at one time ? It was the MC artwork but just in black and white? Is that maybe what NotAMod has?

Merch now back up. No baubles though, seemingly replaced by enamel decoration set.

finally got through.

got a couple of tote bags : substance , true faith

ordered a couple sets of the pins, one for my brother

ordered the pcl christmas tree ornaments. (but they won't go on a tree)

not interested in socks, holiday cards or wrapping paper - these don't work for me.


you just have to keep trying, and at some point it will work. i guess.

the wallet and notebook don't look too bad either. hmmm....

later

I see our heroes are now selling baby grows on their online shop, very cute and 100% cotton but I think I'll take a pass.

I reckon Ian Curtis, Rob Gretton and Martin Hannett are looking down at all this and laughing their heads off.

Tony Wilson's wondering why he never thought of it!
