Own a Piece of T-Shirt Wars History!
You’ve been there, done that, read the blog and now you can, well… buy the T-shirt!
Remember this T-Shirt?
Yes, Brian’s Eagle T-shirt, subject to such derision when it was played on Day 37, has been put up for auction on Ebay. It has received so many nasty comments since it was revealed to the world that we feel that we have no option other than to let it go…
But before it does, it is our wish that the ‘shirt should do something useful with its life – give something back to society – so 100% of the proceeds from this sale will go to charity, the BBC’s Children In Need appeal to be exact. If it sells for less than £5 we will donate £5 anyway. If it sells for more we will personally add an extra £5 to the donation.
So that gives you the excuse, nay the reason, to support us in this venture and bid for the T-shirt. Don’t think of it as buying a horrendous monstrosity, more like helping the kiddies.
Click here to visit the auction now.
The auction ends next Thursday evening so you have plenty of time to register on Ebay and then bid. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to buy a piece of T-Shirt Wars history and own possibly the worst T-Shirt played in the contest!
We demand your support.

What a jolly good idea. I'm so pleased you youngsters want to put something back into society. A very nice care worker, called Alice, has showed me how to use the Internet, because I'm not past it yet and we have a good laugh over your "blog". I wish there had been something that wonderful when I was young but as you can see I've had a good innings. Do you think I could knit you nice boys some T-shirts?
"Vera", thank you for your kind comments. I see from your webpage that you used to have a dog called 'Nigger' - do you think that such a name would be acceptable in this day and age? Probably not. Still, Wing Commander Guy Gibson in The Dam Busters had a dog with the same name and he was a national hero, so I suppose that's where you got the idea from!
I think you should take Vera up on her kind offer to knit you some more T shirts. However unless she has very nimble fingers I don't think they'll be ready in time to take part in the competition.
Dear Chook and Alan,
Thank you for posting a reply to Vera. As her care-worker, however, I must ask you not to encourage her obsession with your blog. She is spending so much of her free time knitting that she's making her fingers raw. I'm also afraid she will over-commit her savings to buying Pete's T-shirt on e-bay. The dog's name, by the way, was Tigger. Nigger is an unfortunate error on the web-page.
Thankyou
Thank you for your concern Alice. Thank goodness that dog was called Tigger. He is a very big dog isn't he, or Vera is very small. Or is that you in the picture? Curiouser and curiouser...
PS Probably the only way to protect Vera's savings would be to outbid her on Ebay
If that was Vera who was one of the early bidders in the Ebay auction, then by all accounts she already has spent all here savings on materials, patchwork kits, sewing accesories and embroidery patterns.
Still, better that than toy soldiers.
Vera and I have been watching the progress of the auction with great interest, and Vera has pointed out that someone called "achookang" is bidding very keenly. This sounds suspiciously like "The Chook". Are you allowed to to do this? It doesn't seem right, but then we're very naive about these things. Or is it just that "all's fair in love and charity"?
Nick isn't the only one with relatives you know...
Yo Tigger, don' you dis ma main man Da Chook! (despite his inappropriate use of the definite article). I like helping the little kiddies any way.
Take the red pill!
;)
Well, what can we say, except to apologise to you all for getting it so very wrong. We're just so terribly inexperienced at all this high-tech stuff. We took a red pill just like you said, and nothing's been the same since. Alice says it feels just a bit familiar. In fact, we've managed to get something very disturbing on our computer now...
May the best bidder win the glorious T!
