So Long, Farewell, Auf Wiedersehen Fussball

This is a hat. A sombrero to be precise.
This is Anita, our office manager. She didn’t want her picture taken, so I had to use this illustration from Keith Roberts’ 1970 book of the same name.
This is Anita (the real one) reaching into the hat…
…and pulling out a name. (Exciting this, isn’t it?)
Congratulations Joao Pereira.
You’re welcome to drop by any time to pick up your table football game.
But bearing in mind Joao lives in Portugal, we took the liberty of pulling a second name out of the hat.
Anneka was the next name out, so should Joao not be able to pick up the game, Anneka’s next in line. Joao - the choice is yours.

Karl, are you a bond villain?

..And Anita could be a bond girl with that picture.

How did you guess? I’m aka Karl Stromberg, so if any of you want a room in my underwater world when my weapons of armageddon hit, just let me know. I’ll pull some strings.

Come on Joao - we’re not holding it forever. You have until Friday to claim your prize, or it’s heading to Anneka…

Can i have it if Anneka doesn’t want it…?
January 16th, 2008 at 10:51 am
Yes you can Karl. But only if you use the magic word.

Has the table gone yet? I really want it!! Can I have it yet?

No it hasn’t Anneka - it’s all yours. I tried to email you to come and pick it up, but maybe got the wrong email address. Feel free to email me to arrange for collection. s.griffin@lovecreative.com

Listen. Do not have an opinion while you listen because frankly, your opinion doesn?t hold much water outside of Your Universe. Just listen. Listen until their brain has been twisted like a dripping towel and what they have to say is all over the floor.
