Maz said...

To be honest although I visit your blog everyday without fail to drool over the cards you make wishing I could ever hope to turn out something as good as your work I am not really a card maker but my DIL Karen is and this is who I would give them too. I know she has said times that she adores this line and I know she would create some great cards from them.

Keep up the great work jak, you never know one day I may be half as good as you!

Hi Jak. These are brilliant for mens cards. I would do the toilet card for my brother as he has always taken a paper or book with him to the loo.

Ah I would use this for the best husband on earth, mine and my wonderful son who take such good care of me. I'm such a strain or worry to them because I'm housebound on an oxygen machine, alone almost all day, DH drives 75 miles to and from work, so he is up only a little while before he has to go to bed. He and my son calling and stopping in when he can to check up on me and do things for me are the only people I see and have in my life that are my loves and my support system. DH has to do everything I used to do, I can't do much but I can still craft, and make gifts for them to tell them how much I love them.

Lovely Blog Candy. I would use the bowling one for my Uncle and the Man on toilet one for my Dad. Think the list could go on up to the 20!!!! So many men you see in the cards. Hazel

I would like to express how much I enjoy not only using the Flippin Men decoupage and watching you use them yesterday on C&C, and I know how much they are based on characters that are dear to your heart.
I would also like to say that I absolutely love your cards, the design of them is really something else.
I have put a link to your website on my blogspot http://nannieflash.blogspot.com/

Hi Jak! I'm delighted that you've hit the 200,000 mark! What a coup? Surely it's something to do with your inimitable talent and lovely style of writing. You a a constant source of inspiration and whistful longing...

I'd love to get my hands on the complete Flippin Men set as there seem to be so many men in my life. Each is so difficult to make a card for and there seems to be one of each of them in the Flippin Men range!

The one on the loo would have to be for my ex-husband and children's dad:- he spends hours in there reading away!!!!

Kym's Crafty Cards said...

Jak, what a wonderful achievement of over 200,000 hits on your blog - I might get that on mine in about 10 years' time. Brilliant show yesterday. I have taped it to watch again sometime as I always pick something new up when I watch shows again.

Thanks for the offer of the blog candy. Sadly I don't have that many older men in my life. The one on the toilet would have been perfect for my dad as he used to go and hide in there but sadly he died 24 years ago when I was 14.

I know my husband would love to see me making some of these cards as I've seen them a few times on the TV and think they are funny. He has to do a lot around the house as I can't do a lot and will sometimes do more jobs than he needs to so that I can get some precious time to craft. Think I'd like to make one specially for him - but not the one in the toilet as my husband wouldn't hide in there to advoid jobs etc!!!

I make all my cards and sell them to raise funds for different charities. I also have two homes where I leave cards and the residents there would certainly appreciate these styles of cards. I've allowed both the homes to raise the funds for themselves (one is buying new crockery for the visitors room) as charity needs to begin at home - and I never know someone that I dearly love might end up in a home somewhere.

Hi Jak, Greetings from New Zealand. I haven't seen anything to beat the Flippin Men here yet. I would make the fishing ones up for 2 sons and their sons, who are all mad keen on fishing. Keep up the great work. I don't have a blog. Regards Val

Congratulations on your 200,000 mark. That's Super!
I just adore the Flippen Men sheets. There are a few people I know that could use a sense of humor and I think that these would do the trick.
I have no blog of my own but enjoy visiting and reading yours.
Thank you for making a great offer of the blog candy. I think they are wonderful.

Wow Jak, what fantastic candy and congratulations on 200,000 hits, that's really impressive! I started reading your fantastic blog when I found it through your postings on Joanna Sheen's forum. Now I've taken the plunge and started my own blog too and it's marvellous to join in with all the challenges etc.I'll put a link up on my blog now.

I recently made the flippin men toilet card for my friend's son who disappears off to the loo with his newspaper and pen and is in there for ages and ages. He thought it was so funny that he has pinned it to his notice board at work. Don't have a blog but can I be entered into the draw.

Anonymous said...

Congratulations on reaching 200,000.
That is some number! I am housebound and crafting is my lifeline so its great to watch C&C and see new products etc come out as i can't get to the shops.
I'd love to do the betting shop sheet for a dear old friend who goes to the bookies every single day with 20p to put on the dogs. Sometimes he wins a couple of pounds but more often than not he doesn't but he says 20p is his pocket money and it gets him out of the house, gives him some exercise (the walk to the bookies) and his bit of company for the day.
The card would give him a right old chuckle.

Jak, They are all so funny and I am sure they match up with so many people, but the one I would use for my beloved Husband is the gardener, I do not know about the Beer he would probably put it on the plants to deter the slugs, and then the blloms would be even better LOL Barbara

Anonymous said...

I would make the decorating one for my hubby, to remind him of what he will get out of doing when he goes on a trip to Paris.

Hope your show goes well.

Jak, who would you not use these for!!! I think you need to go off and make a second set, as I have 20 + in mind for these...
Well done on the blog visits.

Its just got to be the toilet one for me made up for my son who is nearly 24, since he was a small boy he has taken a book or paper to the loo and i s there for an hour, he used to sit swinging his legs reading to his hearts content. H e still does it now but his legs touch the floor bless him
Oh the memories lol
thanks jak for this

just me....lynn said...

I would love to use these to make cards for the men in my church - its so easy to make a thinking of you card for the women but the men i have trouble making cards for so these would be perfect.

Thanks for such an amazing blog with amazing inspiration!!

Unknown said...

Wow what fabulous candy Jak, and well done on the 200,000 + hits.

I so love these flippin men and have already made a few up, I can see many men I know in the different sheets. My favourite is the man on the toilet, it so reminds me of my dad, when he would always take his daily paper in the loo with him, and not come out for a good 1/2 an hour..lol, so I'm saving this one to put in my scrapbook of my dad, got a few ideas of how to use it.
Will put a post and link on my blog Jak.

Jak l would use the DIY flippin men for my Hubby he might get inspired and do some around the house its much needed the decorater sounds good for him too and the footy one oh l could probably use most of them for him and maybe some friends hubby's too

Anonymous said...

I don't have a blog Jak, but love to visit yours. I have purchased a few of the sheets already, and they look lovely made up I must say. I think my DH would be the recipient of one of these. Not because he is a "flippin' man", he is a sweetie actually -33 years together must mean something!, but because he will be 65 (and I can't believe I am typing that!) early in February. He enjoys the odd pint of bitter, so that would be my choice for him. I might also be tempted to make one for my son. He has copies of GQ magazine permanently in his loo, lol!!so the toilet one would be a good choice.

Keep making your beautiful cards Jak - one day I might be half as good as you.

Watched on Create and Craft yesterday and these are just superb.

You inspire us all.

Hi Jak, what a generous lady you are - thank you for offering this. The man on the toilet would be just right for my Dad as he has always taken a newspaper into the loo for as long as I can remember. The betting shop one would do my eldest daughters boyfriend; the gardener for my brother and the diy one for his partner as he is terrible at it (sort of tongue in cheek) :o)
Thanks again

Congratulations on reaching 200'000 hits! That's a great achievement and well deserved as your blog is fantastic!

I already have some Flippin' Men sheets - but hey, they'll always come in handy!

I would make a card for my brother-in-law as he has recently gotten interested in fishing and he's just a typical man! The beer in his hand would just say it all!!

I already have you linked on my sidebar, but I'm heading off now to devote a post to you and your candy.

Good luck for the next 200'000!

Well done on all the hits Jak. I would make the man on the toilet for my hubby......an old joke with all his family about certain habits he has!!!!

Hi Jak, like some of the others I don't have a blog.....lack of time to keep upto date with it. But I do have time, correction, I make time to craft.....rather than h*******k !!
I would make the man on toilet for my brother in California, he has a library in his bathroom!!! the rugby one for my husband, Roger, Welsh through and through, the bbq for my bil as he is the barbie king, the bar for Roger's best man, as he is a pub landlord!!! the housework for my cousins husband as he is always scrubbing floors and polishig wood, the diy for a collegue - the handyman at work.........oooo the list goes on, but without doubt I could find somebody to give each one to with a meaning for everyone, not to mention spreading your talent for recoginising what we all need.

love the flipping men ....well don't we all .
i would make up the DIY one esspically for my very own flipping man cos he don't do DIY lol

Well done on so many hits Jak but it's not surprising with such beautiful work.

I know I originally said I wasn't keen on the Flippin Men but I had to have the Flippin Cheers to make a card for the landlord of my local who is retiring and it's won me over so I'll certainly be buying more. Kimbo xx

Anonymous said...

First Jak, congratulations on your 200,000 hits.
I would firstly use the gardening one as its a toss up whether to make this one or the other allotment from the remember when series, one you made on the show a couple of weeks ago. My brother in law willbe 60 in feb and he just loves his allotment so it has to be one of these, actually it willbe both cos have to make one for my Stephen to give to him aswell. Now i was just about to order from the eshop the set of flippen men plus cards, think i might hang on now, just in case lol. think they are all fab anyway, looking forward to see whats next

Congratulations Jak on such a wonderful blog ,its a pleasure to browse and you are so generous allowing us to get inspiration from your work, I could match a (flipping man!! )to each and every one of your sheets,have just ordered ready to do one for the ex landlord at the pub we used to frequent (a litle ! )he is a smashing person and has been ill for a while even though he is only 40, one one these cards will certainly cheer him up,the darts one springs to mind but so many others would fit the bill too,You certainly got a winner with this design.
Good luck with flipping women when you are next on C@C.

Wow 200,000 hits, congratulations. I love these flippin men sheets, the first one I would use would have to be the toilet one for my dad, he always takes the paper to the loo with him, why do men do this? Thanks for the opportunity to win these. Debs xx

Anonymous said...

jak, these new decoupage are so hilarious, i would choose the guy in the tin bath, we went camping last year and my hubby sat in the middle of a field, in a tin bath, in the rain, holding an enormous fishing umbrella above him, to protect himself from the rain. all because he had spent 2 hours heating the water in a big container on the camp fire and was determined to use it after all his effort.

its tickled me ever since and has become a standing joke every time he takes a bath.

can you imagine his face to receive a card on that theme ... just fantastic.

keep up the great work.

Jak, I'm not surprised that you have reached 200,000 hits on your blog as it's a great one and I'm sure many others like me love to visit. The Flippin Men series are superb and so true to life - we all know someone just like that. Men's cards were so difficult to make before the Flippin Men came along so thank you very much, they're perfect for my husband, son, son-in-law etc etc Lynne12

Hi Jak
Congrats on reaching 200,000 Hits on your blog.
I would make the bath one for the only male member of my class. He is the joker of our complex and keeps all of us ladies in stitches most of the time with his jokes and hilarious dressing up, he definitely is not shy and a great gentleman.

Congrats on your 200,000 hits Jak & the success of La Pashe. I would use the darts image to make a card for my grandson, Daniel. He's at Uni & last sunday he was sitting in the flat working on his laptop whilst two flatmates had a game of darts. One of the darts bounced out of the board & pierced his finger to the bone! I'm sure he would LOVE a darts card. Pat x

The decorating one, absolutely!!
Every time my father said "I think its time we wallpapered this room" my mother ran for the hilss.
EVERY SINGLE item had to be removed and the only things left in the room were the dust sheets the ladder and his painting gear!
We only lived in a small house and for about a week we climbed over, pushed past or knocked down furniture!!
on top of that my mother and father had TOTALLY different taste in wallpaper and paint, and trying to reach a compromise.............!!

Loved the show which I finally caught yesterday. I will be making the footballer one for Father's Day for my Dad who is 91(!) as he is fanatical about footie.

Hi Jak, congrats on 200,000 hits, that's fab. I did go past 3,000 on mine but then my counter disappeared so I binned it. Oh well. Got a long way to go yet. I love decoupage and the flippin men ones would be great. My dad loves BBQ so I'd do that one for him. I've 2 FILs so would make rugby and golf ones for them. Numberous other men in the family would love the rest. Men are quite hard to make cards for and I struggle so these would be fab. Thanks for the chance to win. hugs Clare x

Hi Jak,
Watched your C & C show with the Flippin Men range and I was very impressed, as always. Not got a blog so I can't help you there.
The papers I'd really want to use most is Flippin Men DIY, and I'd make a card and give it to my husband. It actually reminds me of him with his toolbelt and drill in hand, but more for the fact that it might remind him to finish off the many jobs he's started at home. He's a Master Carpenter by trade and I have to manage with things held together with elastic bands and a screw! Everyone else's house is perfect but his own. Do you think a card might do the trick? Thanks for the chance to win anyway.

Hi
I would use them for my dad for father's day certainly. And also for my 3 brothers-in-law who would certainly appreciate the humour.
I look forward to seeing more in this series in the future.

Hi Jak, love your creations, I pop in every week to see what you have made. Your floral cards are amazing.

I would make the fishing one for two of my sons who are keen fisherman and the bookie one for my brother who's name is 'Bob'. Although having a family full of men it wouldn't take me long to use them all.

Thanks for the chance of winning, I have put a link in my sidebar.

Congratulations Jax! I visit your blog regularly, and think all of your cards are just gorgeous. I have purchased some of your cd's too, they are helpful when making some of my cards.
I love the flippen men images, I do believe that I would use all of them to send to the male members of my family, can not see any that don't pertain to at least one of them!

Kee them coming, they are wonderful.

Hi Jak

I love getting your updates on a daily basis, your creations are so inspiring. I would make the Flippin Man sat on the toilet for my uncle Jim as everytime I see it it reminds me of my granddad who passed away over 25 years ago. If ever you couldn't find him he'd be reading the paper in the bathroom. My uncle Jim would appreciate the card and the memory. Keep up the great work.

Hi Jak, Congratulations on so many hits. I've admired your work for quiet some time and you never seem to amaze with your designs. I'd make up the man wearing his apron and drinking a pint. My darling hubby is a gem. He knows where the washing machine is, the iron, the hoover, the shower cleaner etc. He's a steel worker and works shifts (He wouldn't admit it to his mates). Keep doing what you do so well. Debbie M.

Hi Jak
First CONGRATULATIONS on 200,000 hits on your blog! Second, 'Flippin Men' would have to be for my young teenage son! He takes anything readable on the loo and at times has been known to take his laptop too! We, as a family have now renamed the toilet as 'Joes Office'! because if we need to use it we have to make an appointment, lol!
Congratulations once again,

Congratulations on your landmark Jak. Must say I am a regular visitor to your blog for inspiration. As for who would I use the cards for - ALL my male rellies, as I hate making mens cards, and these are so much fun.

Hi Jaks, congratulations on reaching 200,000 posting, no suprise though I look every day. Now these flippin men I would use for all my male relatives. They remind me of the male relatives when I was younger. reminds me so much of the northern men in my life lol. they are brilliant

As an ex-"Pom" (Senior) living in Australia, your Flippin Men make me feel so nostalgic. I have a number of friends who would really appreciate a card with one of these pictures. Thank you for the opportunity to enter your competition.
I wish we could see your Craft programmes here in Brisbane.

beachburgmom said...

Hi Jak wow what a great give away you are offering...for me these images would be used mainly to send my father cards....mom has alzheimers and he cares or her 24/7 with no relief...i know these images would bring a smile and maybe even a laugh or two to his long days. Thanks for all the beautiful designs you share with us...

rosie said...

great site Jak, very stimulating for those who have design blocks - ME. I think the 'flippin men' would be ideal for family members & husbands friends.... Rosie

Anonymous said...

Hi Jak I love watching you on ideal world and the Flippin Men are just brilliant. I've made the Flippin Cricketer for my best friends husband. He is retired from being in the Marines and is 55 soon. As many of the retired services never actually reach this age I thought the Flippin Cricketer was just up his street especially at 55 not out. It's his birthday Monday so he'll be getting his brilliant (if I say so myself) card then.
Keep up the good work.

I always have trouble making cards for the men in my family and church as they all have a good sense of humour they would love these images Anna

I would make these for all those "hard to please" men in my life!! They have to love these guys-they act just like them! Congratulations on your blog! You deserve it!

Janet said...

Your designs are so apt! Your observations are spot on! I should love to make one for my brother, he lives in Australia and gets very nostalgic about how things used to be when he was young.

Catherine said...

These sheets are brilliant as I struggle to make mens cards. I would use the man wearing the tool belt holding the beer for my husband as he is a carpenter but always has a beer while doing jobs at home. Don't all men?

Mel said...

I have found your blog, i love the look of the sheets - the one i would use is the man sat on the loo reading the paper - typical of my old man - he's forever sitting in there reading the paper (usually the footie Or weather pages) so i think this sheet will make a great brithday card for him !!!

hi Jak just wanted to say congratulations on 200,000 Your cards are beautiful mine are kids play to yours those sheets are perfect for every man in your life
Keep up the good work

Congratulations Jak,

I would get good use from these as it is my Dad's, brother's, son's and hubby's birthdays in March, May and June.

My son reads a mag on the loo so that would be his, my hubby is a handyman, also plays golf, my brother is into computers, and has a big dog, my dad is into gardening so there is something there for them all.

Hello Jak, and to everyone who visits her site. My name is Percy and I am from Canada. I am a male aged 59 and just started to get into making my own cards about 1yr ago. I watch "Create and Craft" on my computor alot, hwne I briefly caught a show on these unusual "Flippin Men". Boy did I get a good laugh at these. Although I missed the show , I went on Google to find card examples, etc and this is where I found you. I have now added you to my saved list and will refer back often. We don't have alot of these products here in Canada and I wouldn't mind given it a shot at making some for my other male friends. My e-mail address is: holidaytown@hotmail. com . Thanks from Percy.

Hi Jak, well done on reaching the 200,000 hits, i love all of your work. I think the "Flippin Men" set is one of the best things to hit the craft scene, so many people can relate to most of these images. I myself would have to make at least 3 of these for my husband alone, he is an electrican who plays golf and sits and reads in the toilet too.
Good luck to everyone and thank you Jak for this wonderful offer.

well done Jak im not surprised i spend many a happy hour going through your blog even after iv seen everything i come back and go through it all again,you are an inspiration to us all and as for the flippin men well its just what we have been looking for as our men are so flippin hard to mak cards for thanks Jak - libby

Anonymous said...

Hi Jak I just love to see your lastest creations, I would love the "Flippin men" because in 5 weeks it is my OH 60th and he is basically all of those men ...well maybe not the drinker so I would have loads of choice as to which card or cards that I would make for him. Hes is a very special man and I would love to make him a very special card.

Hi Jen,
I always love to hear from you and look at your web site reguarly. Living here in Turkey there are many opportunities for me to make cards for the ladies to give the men folk. If you saw the kind of cards that are available here you will understand why I would be so eager to show them what real cards should look like. Your website has inspired me on a number of occasions when I have been stuck for ideas and the end results have always proved a success with my friends. The people here also appreciate being able to give their family and friends that extra special card, which simply aren't available here. Sorry though I don't have a blog site, but all the best for your continued success.

Hi Jak

Congrats on a super blog - well worth the visit (and I do visit very often lol).

Hi Jak and thanks for the chance to win this great set

Congratulation Jak on your 200,000 hits, these flippin men are brilliant reading the posts funny how each of us can identify these with someone in our family. The bookey reminds me of my dad, and the toilet one my Oh, they also fill a long awaited gap in the card market, so well done all who worked on them.

I love the one on the toilet reading the newspaper. I would love to send it to the Prime Minster with a caption 'Catching up with World News!'

I am a multi-media artist who recently had a stroke. It was pretty devastating at first.

They say that a stroke destroys brain cells, but in my case, I think it liberated them.

Suddenly I found myself free to create art as I wanted to rather than depending on what others thought of it. I no longer cared about other opinions, only mine mattered.

As I progressed in my recovery, I discovered a love of 3D cards and set out to learn as much as I could. I began making cards for friends and family, and people who would see them would ask to buy some of my work.

Well, recently, I came across one of the Flippin Men sheets and absolutely fell IN LOVE with it. It made me smile, an absolutely necessary criteria to be met before I will spend even a dime. (I have to feel something)

I browsed the web and found their site! OMG! I wanted to purchase every single page they have... each one is better than the last. When $$$ flows stronger I will definetely purchase. There are even rumours of a Flippin Women series coming out. I can't wait!
There are so many people these are appropriate for, our sons, sons-in-law, brothers, brothers in law, cousins, friends and of course the love of my life, my DH. Oh what I could do with this pack...
Thanks for reading me, and congratulations on your blog. I really do enjoy it.

Hi

the only males in my life is my soon to be husband and his family. My dad died when I was 16, so I would use them to make wonderful cards for them.

Every time I see these designs I think of my boss, so I guess it would have to be him I would make the first one for.

I am not surprised you have had so many hits on your blog as you do inspire us all with your great works.

I have fallen in love with these guys! I have 4 brothers, and have raised 4 sons. I won't have ANY problems coming up with people to send them to! I relish the opportunity! Thanks for the chance to win, and for sharing your talents with us. You are awesome.

Hi First time here, but will certainly be purchasing some sheets for all my brothers and friends cards, they are awesome and nothing like these in New Zealand. Would love to win the set to start me up and show my friends as I know they would buy them. Keep up the fabulous work, the bowling flippin man would go well in my bowling circle of friends.

It has to be my dad in the bath, taking me back 35yrs ago when my younger sister who was 5 took her friend up to the bathroom to say hi to my dad. Can you imagine the look of horror as he called to my mother to come and get them. It always brings a chuckle when I think about it. Sadly he's gone now but still have the memories.

LOL I love these cards. I would make one for my dad. He is Scottish and when on the pot always calls to us to get him a roll of toilet paper. seem she didn't look before he sat LOL

Guess I should give it a go - especially as closing date is my birthday - lol!!
It's gotta be the man on the loo and it would be for my bro - for a number of reasons (most unprintable) but he's an avid reader and doesn't just take the newspaper with him but books as well ......

Hi Jak
Spotted these for the first time the other day and would love to be entered. I will post a link on my blog.

Hi I love these designs. There are so many there that remind me of some men family members of mine. But I'd have to say I'd go for the decorating man as it's my father in laws b'day in a couple of weeks (going to have to find my nearest shop who sell them or search online) and he hates decorating but loves a pint in his hand. So this would really make his day opening a card to find that.

Hi Jak,
I first saw some of your cards on the Imag-e-nation site, must be about 2 years ago at least and thought then how creative you were. I'd love to have the chance to win Flippin' Men. I'd make the toilet one for my partner (men must have a gene that makes them read in the loo) as he often disappears to the bathroom with a paper or car magazine, and I'd make the golfer for my little boy's godfather who's 50 soon, we can never get hold of him due to being on the golf course or in the bar.

Congratulations on having over 200,ooo hits. I'm still playing with my blog, but I'll put a link on it to your blog.

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to have Flippin Men.

I love these designs as they are great fun and I think we all know men like these characters. I have made 2 and have them pictured on my blog one on the toilet, well this is any man and a golfer I did for my husbands friend who will love it.

Hi Jak
I didn't realise just how talented an artist you are until I saw your hand painted card - it's fab.
The reason I would love to win your blog candy is so that I could share the Flippin Men with my friend who does card making voluntary work in a hospice.Imagine the smiles they would bring to the patients faces! I certainly know that when I had a stash sort out and sent a bag of goodies to the hospice it was gratefully received.

Hi Jak, just came across your site and I absolutely love these decoupage candy. I would make one up for my hubby for valentines day, the one of the man on his "throne" reading the daily paper as that's what my hubby does down to a T. Everyday without fail for the past 7 years, down to the garage at 10am, back to the house, wee smoke, then upstairs to his "throne" for about an hours, locks the door and I actually made him a "do not disturb sign" last year for him. Would love to win them and have such fun with them all. Well done and fingers crossed, Karen

Hi Jak

I had to laugh at how many people said they would use the "toilet Man" for various men in their lives. When I saw that one I immediately thought of my nephew who will be 19 next month as he always disappears with his book. He asked to borrow some of my books to take to uni and I made him promise that they would not be taken into the bathroom.

Hi Jak, I was surfing this morning and found your blog via Ellen's Scrappalace. I just started making cards and it is so hard to find stamps, or embelishments, even sayings for men - these designs are perfect. My DH golfs, my dad spends a lot of time in the toilet, I have a BIL who fishes, etc., etc. Congratulations on the 200,000 hits and thanks for sharing!

Hi
I have been hugely impressed bym your 'flippin men' designs and the chance to win these is too good to turn down!
I would make a card for my neighbour who is like an adopted Grandad to me. He looks after us all so much and has a terrible and quite naughty sense of humour so these designs are him to a tee!
Congratulations on so many hits and wishing you continued success in all you do.

sue said...

wow just in time, I have been meaning to do this for ages, well done on your success, the flippin men are my favorites from the La Pashe range, there is something to suit every man in my family, its my dads birthday next month so I would start with him but oh which one would I choose?

Hi Jak, Well done on awesome amount of hits you've had! I've not got a blog but I love visiting. I would make the Flippin' Drinking for my dad (and use Jon's ditty to!). My dad loves to pop out for a swift pint of proper stuff so it's perfect for him.. or the Flippin' BBQ one for him, he does a mean Barby under a brolly LOL. Wish my grandad was still with us, your sheets remind me of him especially with the cap, the Flippin' Readng would have been perfect for him.. if the sheet had Mirror on it it would have been spot on (he used to work nights printing them).
