Paul is off today – he’s gone to surf the Severn Bore (and it’s his birthday).
So I figured I’d take over Paularoid duties while he’s away.

This is his old Beemer 1502. I think he may have taken this on the day he bought it.

A while back we gave some of our Earth Tax to Colin McPherson and this is a film about what he did with it.

A film by Liverpool-based photojournalist Colin McPherson in which he explores the frontline in the battle between environmentalists and those determined to decimate Brazil’s Amazonian rain forest.

Thanks Colin

Catalogue Returns

Upstairs they’re sorting catalogues. These are the piles ↑

As you can see “gone away” pile is the biggest. It’s for people who don’t live where we think they live. We thought we had it pretty nailed… So if you’re not getting your catalogue because you’ve moved or if you have any other catalogue mailing anomalies. Then drop an email to mydetails@howies.co.uk

NB: All the catalogues are getting sent to our shops for a second try (we sticker over the original address).

New T-shirt of the Week

This weeks T-shirt of the Week is ‘Boredom’.

 
YouTube is not always the answer
Twitter is not always the answer
Facebook is not always the answer
Ebay is not always the answer
and you can Google all you want
but can’t find yourself there

 
Kill your boredom, head for the hills.

(available in white or white)

Today will see us get to 60,000 visits on the website.

not bad for a tent that is meant to hold 80 people.

I know we are getting lots of emails about how to get hold of tickets for this years set of talks.

if you are a private individual you will have to pay. 

if you are a business you will have to pay a bit more.

if you are a really big business you will have to pay a bit more again.

this money will help to pay for the event to take place and students to attend for free.

we have only 40 places for sale.

they go on sale at 9am on May 1st.
