The Tsunami Army and the Wind Turbine Watch

Yep, that is a damn clever title. While watching the charity cricket game yesterday (Asian XI vs World XI), we christened ourselves the 'Tsunami Army'. Brilliant - of course some were appalled at my lack of pc-ness. But it was all for a good cause.

I even came up with some excellent merchandise we could sell. Not just your usual t-shirt or cap though, no. Clever, useful stuff like for instance, Tsunami Army lifejackets, rubber rings, armbands, and flare guns. And given that the only thing that seems to have survived the tsunami is palm trees, we will adopt the coconut as our official food and mascot.

It was suggested that if we had turned up to the game in our official merchandise gear that we may have had trouble convincing authorities to let us in and that some of the ideas are in slightly poor taste. Hmmmm... they haven't heard about my celebration idea - it goes like this, everytime we get a wicket, one of us runs at the others with hands held aloft going wooosh, wooosh, then the others all run away, then fall down, and roll for a while going 'gurgle, gurgle'.....whaddya think?

In other news - today I invented the Wind Turbine Watch. We were out for lunch with Blair and he had a solar powered Pulsar watch and in the spirit of oneupmanship I decided that perhaps a wind turbine watch would be just as technologically cool and environmentally friendly, with the added bonus of a spinning propellor to mesmerise you. I drew a picture - I think its a goer and expect someone to contact me soon with interest in producing them. If you dear reader are an Asian industrial magnate with lots of dosh and very excited by the Wind Turbine Watch and would like to produce it but are slightly worried by my slightly warped view of the recent tsunami, please be assured that for your sake and our business interests I can be 'as nice as pie' when it comes to natural disasters.
