Product Placement (Warning! Contains product placement!)

Sexual intercourse can sometimes lead to closer acquaintance.

Thus starts my novel Blonde Lotus, a bunch of copies of which I came over at G.O.D. yesterday. I’m only mentioning it here because (I want to sell lots) and because the books bore the singularly non-intriguing sticker:

“Warning! Contains train journeys and sex in Hong Kong!”

Well that’ll have people beating each other back while stampeding for the till.

Still, my new book is coming out soon so it would be good to clear the shelves of Blonde Lotus, which is a bit like this blog but with a story line and no acronyms, abbreviations, numbers or facial hair.

But lots of dudes, (plonkers and beautiful ones, boring and interesting ones, with and without clothes) sex, philosophy, the truth about relationships and life in general, how to learn languages by sleeping one’s way to the top, and yes, some train journeys. But only in China and Russia! And Mongolia.

Most of all the book is a kind of ode to China, or the China of the late 80s and early 90’s at least.

Actually now that I think about it there are a lot of Dating Tips For Plonkers in it as well. Oh yeah.

 

You can buy it from www.havenbooksonline.com, G.O.D or bookshops, or straight from me. Sales! Saaaaaaales! If you buy 2000 copies I will have made more than $HK 300 out of it.

Save The World Single-Handedly III: The humble fan

I think it safe to say that airconditioning, that machine which allows Hong Kong people to live under the illusion that

1. Their living room/local mall/bank/restaurant is actually Arnheim Land and

2.  the air coming out of their units is actually clean,

is one of the biggest polluters in Hong Kong, right up there with cars and keeping the government in clover.

But you can single-handedly fix that by sending your airconditioning units to China where I believe they are eager to receive scrap metal, and investing in this nifty little desk fan from G.O.D. instead.

Apart from packing an air- punch that can blow a herd of elephants out of the Mariana Trench, it is also stylish in a film noir sort of way and very reasonably priced.

Reduce your electricity bill by 85%, save the earth, improve the stylishness of your home and reduce the income of greedy local polluter CLP in one go! Talk about win bloody win.
