Wrapped Up

How do I love you, well, let me see
I love you like a lyric loves a melody
Baby, completely wrapped up in you

How do I need you, well, can't you tell?
I need you like a penny needs a wishing well
Baby, completely wrapped up in you

Every now and then
When the world that we're living in's crazy
You gladly hold me and carry me through

No one in the world's ever done what you do for me
And I'd be sad and lonely
If there were no you

How do I love you, well, count the ways
There ain't no number high enough to end this phrase
Baby, completely wrapped up in you

Baa baa ba ba ba ba baa baa baa
Ba ba ba baa ba
Baa baa ba ba ba ba baa baa baa
Ba ba ba baa ba

Every now and then
When the world that we're living in's crazy
You gladly hold me and carry me through

No one in the world's ever done what you do for me
And I'd be sad and lonely
If there were no you

How do I love you, well, don't you know?
I love you 'bout as deep as any love can grow
Baby, completely wrapped up in you
Baby, completely wrapped up in you

Strand London



Strand, often called the Strand, is a street in the City of Westminster, London, England. The street is just over three-quarters of a mile long. It currently starts at Trafalgar Square and runs east to join Fleet Street at Temple Bar, which marks the boundary of the City of London at this point, though its historical length has been longer than this. At the east end of the street are two old churches, St Mary-le-Strand and St Clement Danes which are now, owing to road-widening, situated on islands in the middle of the road. 

The length of road from St Mary's church eastwards up to St Clement's was widened in 1900 and subsumes the former Holywell Street which forked from the Strand and ran parallel with it to the north. The Strand marks the southern boundary of Covent Garden. Two tube stations were once named Strand: the former Piccadilly line Strand tube station, now called Aldwych but no longer in use, and the former "Strand tube station" on the Northern Line now part of Charing Cross tube station. "Strand Bridge" was also the name given to Waterloo Bridge during construction, it was renamed for its official opening on the second anniversary of the victory.

Dog


The domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris), is a subspecies of the gray wolf (Canis lupus), a member of the Canidae family of the mammilian order Carnivora. The term "domestic dog" is generally used for both domesticated and feral varieties. The dog may have been the first animal to be domesticated, and has been the most widely kept working, hunting, and companion animal in human history. The word "dog" may also mean the male of a canine species, as opposed to the word "bitch" for the female of the species.

The present lineage of dogs was domesticated from gray wolves about 15,000 years ago. Remains of domesticated dogs have been found in Siberia and Belgium from about 33,000 years ago. None of these early domestication lineages seem to have survived the Last Glacial Maximum. Although mDNA suggest a split between dogs and wolves around 100,000 years ago no specimens predate 33,000 years ago that are clearly morphologically domesticated dog.

Dogs' value to early human hunter-gatherers led to them quickly becoming ubiquitous across world cultures. Dogs perform many roles for people, such as hunting, herding, pulling loads, protection, assisting police and military, companionship, and, more recently, aiding handicapped individuals. This impact on human society has given them the nickname "Man's Best Friend" in the Western world. In some cultures, dogs are also source of meat. In 2001, there were estimated to be 400 million dogs in the world.

Mayor Ken Livingstone

"Finally, I wish to speak directly to those who came to London today to take life.

I know that you personally do not fear giving up your own life in order to take others – that is why you are so dangerous. But I know you fear that you may fail in your long-term objective to destroy our free society and I can show you why you will fail.

In the days that follow look at our airports, look at our sea ports and look at our railway stations and, even after your cowardly attack, you will see that people from the rest of Britain, people from around the world will arrive in London to become Londoners and to fulfill their dreams and achieve their potential.

They choose to come to London, as so many have come before because they come to be free, they come to live the life they choose, they come to be able to be themselves. They flee you because you tell them how they should live. They don’t want that and nothing you do, however many of us you kill, will stop that flight to our city where freedom is strong and where people can live in harmony with one another. Whatever you do, however many you kill, you will fail."

One must be proud to have such a mayor. I surely would.

About me



There's not much to say. I am a 30-something freelance graphic designer, and I live in a city in Italy where you have probably been (if you have been to Italy, of course). It has no sea, no Coliseum and no leaning tower. You guess it.

My "real" works are somehow better than the designs that are on this page. But they also take me much more time and cost a bit more money. If you are really curious, you can see some of them here.

Disclaimer


The designs used on the t-shirts are an artistic interpretation derived from the London Underground "roundel" logo, originally designed by Edward Johnston back in 1916.

The original London Underground "roundel" logo is the sole property of Transport for London, which is not associated to, nor endorses this project in any way.

Kudos to

All those who have bought or are going to buy a t-shirt, (including you, right?).
All the people who came here (including you) following a link somewhere and took the extra time to publish a link on their site, weblog, whatever.
All the people on Flickr who have appreciated so much the designs. They started it all.
All the friends who I have pestered in the last days to publish a link to this site, particularly the guys and girls from the d-night design crew.

And too many more to mention, including my coffee machine who has never let me down and I pray it never will.
