Where can I buy ‘Some people are gay. Get over it!’ t-shirts?

Since posting some photos of myself wearing a ‘Some people are gay. Get over it!’ t-shirt. I have had a number of people contact me and ask where I got it from. I got it from www.stonewall.org.uk/what_you_can_do/buy_your_stonewall_merchandise/4873.asp.

They also sell Some people are gay. Get over it! mugs. Which I also have some of. You can buy them from www.stonewall.org.uk/what_you_can_do/buy_your_stonewall_merchandise/4874.asp.

Some people are gay. Get over it!

Some people are gay. Get over it! t-shirt

I have had this “Some people are gay. Get over it!” t-shirt for years and years. But for some unknowing reason, I have never gotten around to taken photos of myself wearing it. Up till now that is…

Some people are gay. Get over it! Some people are gay. Get over it!

Now done 28,500 miles of cycling (Since April 2003)

Vlog: Fens to Lincolnshire “Highlands”

This vlog was filmed while cycling back from The Wash. It shows just how flat the Lincolnshire Fens really are. I joke about cycling to the “Highlands” of Lincolnshire. After not a single hills for miles and miles, they may as well be!

21-Apr-2013 : I made it to The Wash!

I am so happy, I made it the whole way The Wash for the very first time! If you have no what The Wash is, then check out en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wash. Only bad thing is go all that way and can’t see any water! Still at least I can say I have made it. Been on my list of cycles for a number of years now!

I will now leave you with the route map, elevation graph, route statistics and photos.
