Dear Bingo,
Your Rappin is shit.

I might start an alternative service as he's not doing the postcards. You send me a photo of someone and I put their head in an alternative photo

Making books is boring

Posted by Mr Bingo

So it's been 43 days since my last update. For some reason, five of you impatient cunts have demanded (via the comments section) an update. Although this only represents 0.13% of the entire backing population, I have caved in under the pressure. So, Julien, James, Richard, Tim and Simon, this is for you.

I have a feeling that half of you think I've fucked off with the money and I'm sipping cocktails on the beach. I wish I had done that, but I haven't, I'm actually making a fucking book.

To be honest there isn't much to say. I've adopted the stance which people DON'T do enough on Twitter, which is that if there is nothing of importance/interest happening, say nothing. I am making a book. On the whole, making a book is not interesting. Today I spent 11 hours 'artworking' images and getting them all perfect and ready for print. Darren spoke to some people in Italy about paper and grain direction, and batch converted some PSDs from RGB to CMYK. It's not interesting and I don't need to tell you. I mean what else d'you want to know? D'you want to know what I had for fucking breakfast? I'm not Harry cunting Styles.

Anyway, it's hard writing this stuff. There's certain expectations for it to be good. I'm not talking about the majority of you 3,751 basic twats, it's the fact that Louis Theroux reads this shit you know? Imagine when you go to your pointless little job and you type your pointless little sentences into your computer all day, imagine doing that but with the added pressure that Louis will be reading all of that and fucking judging you. It's utterly HORRENDOUS.

I guess what you want to hear is that the book is coming together and it's going to print very soon and all the things I promised are going to happen. Nothing has changed, the book is still going to be as fucking great as I originally claimed. The rewards are slowly starting to happen. I've trolled a few people, I've been on a couple of Wetherspoons dates, I got shitfaced on a train (Kings Lynn if you're asking) (Yes it was fucking great, if you're asking) and I've done the first 'Fuck you and fuck your company'. As soon as the book goes to print, reward fulfilment season (is that a thing?) will be in full swing. So thank you for your patience on that bit, I will be telling you all to fuck off in some sort of way soon.

Oh yeah, I'm putting together the final benefactor list over the next couple of days. If you haven't answered your survey yet, please do it now. Otherwise I'll be basing your benefactor name on whatever name is attached to your kick-starter account.

I'll probably do another update in a few weeks with a photo of me in some fucking printers in Italy, looking at a machine or something.

Bye for now,

Mr Bingo

is that a sex act involving a bottle of chardonnay?

oh ok, I thought you'd boot me out afterwards. Full english and a cup of tea please

I didn't receive that one, unfortunately. But a friend did and I keep trying to steal it. Mine had a massive tit on it. I love your new avatar @mrinvisible.

The fucking book is being made
Publié par Mr Bingo
Yes that's right, the book is being made as I type this.
If you can’t be fucked with a load of reading and you don’t care when your stuff arrives, just read this paragraph. I will be closing the ability to edit your delivery address on Wednesday 21st October. So from that point onwards, you won’t be able to ammend your address. If you have moved house or work since you backed the kickstarter, make sure you make the address change in the next week. Thankyou.
The book is currently in production and it’s looking fucking nice. Darren and myself popped over to Italy last week and saw the thing being printed in a small industrial estate surrounded by snowcapped mountains. As promised in the Kickstarter campaign, we did get it printed by a specialist high end fine art book printers who gave us a very bespoke service with a lot of care and attention. We saw 12 tonnes of very expensive paper (170gsm Munken Polar Rough Crisp White if you’re interested) going through a Heidelberg Speedmaster press and coming out the other end with a load of swear words and cocks on. Every artwork was meticulously studied and compared with proofs to make sure all the colours and everything are fucking bang on. There’s also a section of blue paper in the back of the book just for the fucking sake of spending extra money on it and making it more special. The book has cold glue, lay flat binding. I’ve no idea what that fucking means but apparently it’s a good thing. The ‘up yours’ bookmark is also in production in the UK and it's looking nice!

So, when should you expect your fucking rewards? Most of them were promised to be delivered in October, but in the spirit of almost all kickstarter projects, I am behind on my delivery schedule by a few weeks. But that’s normal right? That’s crowdfunding, it’s a bit unpredictable and things don’t always go exactly as planned. The main problem (ok it’s a very good problem I realise) is that I sold a lot more stuff than I expected to. This means a lot more rewards to deliver and a lot more books to print. My promise is that wherever you are in the world, you will recieve your reward by Christmas. Hopefully most of you will receive it in November.

Thanks for your patience, fun things will be coming through your postboxes soon!

This has nothing to do with my book but I saw it in the factory and thought it looked fucking cool.
