Annie came down to Canterbury for the evening so after meeting at the station we took a walk into town for a spot of shopping and a visit to the (fairly) new M&S Bakery - They sell the nicest apple crumble cake in there! Later on after faffing around with iPod Touches for a bit we had a walk down to the Bangkok House for some lovely Thai food - All the usual stuff really: Thai fishcakes, Pad Thai noodles, Red Thai curry, Jasmine rice, Satay chicken and beef... It was great! Later on, I introduced Annie to the funny little quiz game thing in the Two Sawyers wher you have a remote control on the table which you use to answer questions appearing on TV screens around the pub. It's nice in the Two Sawyers - Very chilled out and almost entirely lit by candle alone...

Week Six: Send a Card - Save the Planet
@ Friday, 02. May, 2008 – 13:47:36

These clowns were at it again this week, coming up with ideas for a new occasion to be marked with the giving of a card. Alpha, led by Michael Sophocles, decided to go with a National Singles' Day on 13th February - Send a card to that special person the day before Valentine's day just to remind them they're single - Terrible.
Renaissance, lead by Kevin Shaw, got behind Jenny Celerier's idea of an environmental week when people are expected to send cards to each other with little sermons on how to be green inside them... Crock of shit, if you ask me. Surely, even the country's best performing imbecele would not send a card to somebody containing a naff message about trying to save the rain forests. Kevin thought it was a great idea and decided to pitch it to leading high street greetings card retailers himself. He sounded like Flash Gordon going on about saving the planet! To make matters worse, once it became clear in the boardroom that this whole idea was awful from the outset, and doomed to failure, the muppet didn't even bring the person whose idea it was back into the boardroom. Needless to say, he got his marching orders... One village has their idiot back.

I love this series by Graham Rawle - they used to be published in The Guardian and Observer but I don't think I've seen them for a while...
Here's his website anyway: http://www.grahamrawle.com/
