I know this is NOT going to be popular but why the heck is everyone going mad over the mug?

For a start they are horrible red, white and blue

For a second start, they are wayyyyy too biggg for tea and the likes (ok for beer though ;-))

And lastly, I've never even used mine, it's taking up a lot of space in my cupboard !

To answer your silly rant;

1. We like free stuff.
2. We just want to feel apart of the 'mug' crew


And finally, it's perfect for tea! The more tea the better!

Have to return 4 pants. All the same size on the tags but two are too small and two are wayyyy too big (be careful with the no fear jeans. They are like black bags). What is the cheapest method of getting the back to them?

I was thinking more along the lines of these bad boys:

Doh, 7 quid is a bit much, was thinking 2.99 would be an ok price.

False Prophet

Normal size mug for .99c for those that want a cheaper/smaller version of this year "must have" item

Picked one up when I was in the UK for 99p. 7 is a tad too much

I've bought quite a bit of the karrimor running gear but no runners. The running vests, jackets and shorts are all as good quality as the likes of nike/puma/adidas. I'd be wary of runners though just because of the damage you could do to your feet. You might be better getting a pair in the sale section off wiggle: http://www.wiggle.co.uk/sale/offroad-running-shoes/ Availability will depend on your shoe size but for example here are two trail runners that are cheaper than the karrimors and more recognised as quality trail runners:

Well I don't pay for sex and therefore I am certainly NOT going to pay for the mug.........there is a logic in there somewhere......honest......:)

Many including myself have got caught out with sizing go items so here's an idea that we all could do is measure items we have bought ie chest sizes on tops waist and leg sizing etc and set up a sizing guide for sports direct items

As I do find with some items you are taking a stab in the dark when selecting a size and this could leave us all more confident when buying.

You could also take a wander into your local Heaton's if convenient and check the brands and their sizes there. The exact same own Sports Direct own brands are in Heaton's Sports World.

Anyone got any advice on this before it gets swallowed up and disappears amongst the mug comments?

Do they have one of those free post stamp things you could print off?

If not, an post seems the only way to go....

Maybe post a link to what you got, with sizes. There might be someone on here that'll take them.

Pj!

I'm sure those mugs used to be a quid or something online.

I suppose nobody actually buys them so shoving the price up makes the freebie look a lot better.

Ya but they are not free return post. You have to pay it yourself.
I called An Post and it about €11 regular post.

No fear jeans X 2 and Pierre Cardin trousers - grey cord & cream cord.
Size 36L.

Wildly different in actual size. The jeans are ridiculous big and the cords are like skinny jeans...
