Whoops
Almost let Summer go by without sending you our news, gossip and
random freebies. Imagine.
But panic over, here we are. Some bicycles. A baby. And even some VIP
tickets.
Hope you've had a fun Summer (sorry - so Northern Hemisphere),
and thanks for reading...
It's official...
After Simon Jackson's triumph in the Tour de France étape (spot the
sexy shirt, left), we decided to sponsor the "Tour of Britain".
Yes, we are the official drinks supplier. Fancy that.
The riders start a week on Tuesday (29th August) in Glasgow, and get
to London on Sunday 3rd.
We'll be there giving out Firefly at four of the finishes.
So come along and say hi and grab a free drink... (and squeal as 96
cyclists fly past, of course.)
LIVERPOOL (Town Hall) - Wednesday 30th August, Finish at about 2.40pm
SHEFFIELD (Pinstone St.) - Thursday 31st August, about 2.45pm.
BIRMINGHAM (Millenium Point) - Friday 1st September, about 1.30pm
LONDON (St. James' Park) - Sunday 3rd Sept, about 4pm.
WIN VIP TICKETS.
We'd really to know what kind of drinks you'd like. And as a bribe,
we're giving away a pair of VIP tickets for each city.
(And if you don't want the tickets, we'd still love to get your views
- it'll only take 5 minutes. Thanks.)
Eco-marketing
Our cycling samplers have taken Firefly to every corner of the capital
this Summer. Well, nearly.
We met 40,000 people, including 53 Policemen and 3 members of MI5 (we
know who you are).
We picked up some fashion tips. Parasols are back, apparently.
And we had all sorts of celebs shamelessly taking advantage of us for
self publicity...
A few lessons we learnt along the way:
1. Trailers hurt when they fall on your toe.
2. London has some surprisingly steep hills.
3. 4 out of 6 labradors prefer Chill out.
Yachtie tottie
When you've got the biggest yacht in the world, and still don't feel
fulfilled, you could, like Microsoftie Paul Allen, fill the yacht with
Firefly.
Or just build an even bigger yacht
OK, he's doing both...
(Thanks to Triveshan for smuggling these pics through the Microsoft
Firewall)
Talent spotting
Thank you Krittiya, Lohne, Amy and Sam for these lovely recent pics.
Right now we need a funny Chill out picture.
It's for a special edition bottle to support the Samaritans'
"Stress Down day" in February.
So if you spy an amusing and unstressed moment, please click the link
below to send it to us.
(Other images always welcome too...)
A new little person...
News just in.
Jess, our "employee number 1" has just had a baby.
Isla, a dainty 9 pounds 5 ounces, was born last Friday.
Aah.
Apparently Love Potion had nothing to do with it...
And some big ones...
Caroline is rather glam, and we quite like the look of her
mystery boyfriend.
Sjoerd is a Dutchman
He thinks we English are so funny. Except when we pronounce his name
wrong.
We're getting there. Rest assured.
And that's quite enough from us, surely - even if the boss is on
holiday...
Oh, except that we just sold our 3 millionth bottle. Hooray!
Thank you if you bought it;-)
Thanks for keeping in touch, and all the best,
Harry, Marcus, Jess, Kate, Luiz, Imogen, Caroline & Sjoerd.
