A few weeks ago I wrote about my impressions of the new James Bond film, and how the blatant product placement was getting so much that it was proving a distraction from the main plot. I illustrated this point by telling you about my riveting morning routine and the products I had used that day. One of them being a King of Shaves shaving gel.

A short while afterwards I received a very polite email from this man, asking if I had enjoyed my shave, which of course I had (as much as you can enjoy anything in the bathroom at 7:30am, whilst stood up). He then offered to send me some samples of their other excellent products to try, and, as good as his word, said goodies arrived on Saturday! Of course I am now having to shave two or three times a day, and moisturising morning, noon, and night, in order to try them all. Which is a bit of a pain, but they were free, and actually quite good, so I feel a bit bad complaining. A bit.

Anyway, this has led me to believe that I am not realising the full commercial potential of this site.

For that reason I would just like to reiterate that Mr Angry fully endorses Ferrari, Hawaii, Burton snowboards, Innocent Drinks, Gordon’s Gin and Nike running shoes.

I will be watching my mailbox with baited breath. Of course, if this doesn’t work then they are all rubbish.

And so onto other more interesting things. I am going on holiday! Again! ! I will be flying off to France on Sunday morning for another week in the Alps, hopefully with better accommodation, cuisine and time-keeping than during my last visit in January.

I have a few very nice (if somewhat miffed) people standing in for me whilst I am away, so please make them nice and welcome, as I’m sure you will. And no hitting on the girls, that is my job. You can hit on Fat Jim though (yes! Fat Jim will be making his blog debut!!). Do not tell him he is any good though or he will get ideas above his station.

Anyway, depending on Internet access I will pop in during the week, if I can be bothered.

See you all in a week!

Go and read this over at Troubled Diva - it is an excellent idea only ruined by the fact that I didn’t come up with it.
