T-shirt printing

Just wondering if anybody knew anywhere that offers good quality, cheap clothing printing in small runs (i.e 1 or 2 items), t-shirts, polo shirts and the like.

Basically I have been looking for some good summer t-shirts for ages but have come up trumps and, being one of those arty sorts, thought I would design my own. I've tried those iron on transfers before but the results are limited- have tried the screen-printing mesh stuff that you print onto but they were just a waste of time. I've bought a screen-printing kit off EBAY but the instuctions are a bit offputting and theres the hassle of where to set it up, totally blacking out a room for exposure issues etc etc... Basically Im a lazy git and would rather send my designs off and get someone else to do the hard work!

I've had a search on here as I've no doubt that this question has been asked before but didn't come up with anything so no flaming please!

Ah yeah - that's the "screen-printing mesh stuff that you print onto" stuff I was trying to explain about and couldn't remember the name of. My results were shit- exposing something in the british sun is random to say the least.
