Happy Birthday Dear Jesus

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night...

The Overground

Now arriving on platform GN is the wonderfully weird new Weir from Connoisseur. With demand outstripping supply on the recent Overlook bobble hat (with its The Shining carpet inspired design), CC went with another 'Over' inspired template - this time London's Overground seat pattern motif. Seen by millions everyday, they've turned something fairly nondescript and ugly into something that will bring internet servers down on release and then people forking out treble the RRP on eBay.

This was the first time I've been able to nab one since one of the original Weirs from a few years ago. It helped in part now I'm a forum member of Connoisseur so got first dibs on it. So whilst the world counted down and prayed for luck as the 7pm release approached last Monday, I could sit back, relax and let the train take the strain as mine was already paid for, bagged and steaming towards me...
