Love that idea!

Also last years Rhythm Festival saw Barry Cryer and Ronnie Golden sporting "Old's Cool" T-shirts.

'Back off the mic, Ellen, back, back, back!'

'The Mozza-hideen are delighted'

'The Word is Sorry''

I've got the last WORD on the matter.

WORDY rappinghood.

Sticks and stones may break your bones
but WORD will never hurt you.

Do some old!

or how about

Squeezebox Operative

Word... to the wise

or maybe

Word - A sonic cathedral

Let's play Ukulele Hero III

Always eat the best banana first.

Still fancy 'fighting stupidity one moron at a time' but perhaps when wearing a T shirt some of us should be wearing 'yes, these are man boobs'

My other T-shirt is on ebay

... but I can't think who's image should be atop the slogan, which would need careful attention to both point size & use of bold.
They'll fly off the shelves.

" (As seen in Q in two months time) "

Unemployed record company exec: Will A&R for food

"...and another thing"
"What's he on about now?"
"I am Mark Ellen, and so's my wife"
"I took out a subscription to Word Magazine and all I got was this lousy T-Shirt"

"It's not as good as it used to be"

It's a Middle-Aged Thing, You Wouldn't Understand.

(Half-inched from Malcolm Hardee) Festivals?
It Were All Fields Round Here In My Day

it has to be "Do Some Old".

"Wordy"

How about "The postman always nicks my Word", as I suspect he does. I think he's had the t-shirt I ordered too.
Or "No Dido"
Or "Upsetting overrated tax exiles since 2003"

'Fiddle with me'

"You'll be too young to remember, but in the beginning was The Word"

"The Word; The Innocent & The I-Pod Shuffle"..?

- No phoning
- No camera-phones
- No singing along (unless invited)
- No turning round*

You could have little pictures next to each point.

[* a personal bette-noir: I hate it when the person right in front me keeps turning round and looking over my shoulder]

I can piss anywhere

The TRUE sound of young Islington.
`The`was an afterthought.

Edited by Hefner, naturally.

People who can write interviewing people who can talk for people who can read.

'Glastonbury Hurts My Head - The Word''

OR
(with image)

'It's how we roll, boyeee,''

Nice and simple - how about 'Watch The Wire'? If it's plastered across people's chests hopefully it'll mean it won't appear in the magazine 50 times a fucking issue

"The Word: True dat".

"No, THAT'S what I call music."

'50 QUID BLOKE'

Or, useful for commuters:

'I'm not laughing at you, I'm listening to The Word Podcast'

In the beginning was the Word and the Word was good.

"Also available in beige"

How about;

'TURN IT UP TO 11'
OR
'PRETENTIOUS......MOI?

Most of your spine quotes would look great on a T-shirt. The William Burroughs, Leonard Cohen and Homer Simpson ones spring to mind.

Look, I'm not taking the piss with this one. The fact is that the magazine explores music that a person of a certain age is comfortable with. Why not flaunt it instead of a) pretending that we're as young as we used to be and b) being embarrassed that we're not?

"If you are going to talk all the way through the quiet songs why don't you **** off to the bar!".

What I really wanted to say at the Go-Betweens Shepherd's Bush Empire gig, instead of the rather feeble "some of us are trying to listen to the music here...thanks very much, that would be great."

how about: Sentences with life

"It's only Word, and Word is all I have..."

"Hope I get old before I die".

Whatever Happened To My Rock 'n Roll?

Morrissey is a bedwetter

It's so fine, it's sunshine

"I'm sitting next to Chrissie Hynde, and I've ordered the Foie Gras."

"A good vet would have this up and about in 10 minutes."

"Whipping Post"

"The Word - We know where is Beatles Band."

What about "Let's Ballad"?
