This is the best day EVER!
A while back, I did my GCSE English oral presentation. I did it on Cillit Bang of all things, and got an A*. Werhey!

I dutifully wrote off the Barry Scott himself to inform him of this ace news, and the following arrived in the mail today..

"Dear Sir,

I was delighted to hear your comments. Both the Cillit Bang marketing team and myself are always interested in and indeed, value feedback from our consumers, even more so when the feedback is so positive. It makes all the effort in developing our products and marketing so worthwhile.

I have passed on details of your talk to my colleagues in Marketing for their information, and thank you for the time and truouble you have taken to demonstrate Cillit Bang to your friends.

Please find enclosed a signed photograph and some coupons which I hope you will be able to use.

Your sincerely,
Nicola Povey
Consumer Relations, Reckitt Benckiser."

Best. Letter. Ever.

it's made my day better
but today is a different day.

I think the clock is ticking here on a GCSE sponsored by some brand or other...I vote 2008 will be the inaurural year of the Cambridge Examination Board Unilever Home Economics GCSE or something X - (

I did my talk on how George Bush is actually a monkey.
It went down well. People have been telling me I should be a stand up comedian.

anyone who says "people say I should be a stand up comedian"
is being mocked by their fake friends. Loser.

Bush the monkey
We've trained our 18 month old daughter to make monkey noises whenever George W Bush appears on TV. I'm not sure whether or not this constitutes early political awareness or child abuse.

Apart from being the man in the Cillit Bang adverts, which I haven't seen.
