I posted a little while ago about how Amy Winehouse had gone up in my estimations when she was pictured carrying a Euro 2008 sticker album for her husband. There have been developments on the sticker front.
A colleague, keen to recreate the playground swapsies in the workplace, emailed one of the 'Wizards' at Merlin, who make the official Premier League sticker collection, to find out when we can expect the launch given that the big kick-off for 2008-2009 is but a few days away.
He got a reply this morning, too, from the same 'Wizard' email address. They're scheduled for later this year. Probably November apparently. They seem very relaxed about it, the wizards. And this particular wizard signed off as Audrey. Which is my gran's name, so I'm not dissing it. It's just a bit of the sort of name you might expect a wizard in Monty Python to have. Because it would be funny, because it's not a wizard's name.
I'm hopeful the stickers will be out before November and before we go off the idea. I reckon we'll get a few people interested, and there's the chance of emailing the whole group with any special 'needs' before lunch break, when a meeting will be convened in the corner of the playground. I'm thinking of plotting my own progress on this site. A bit like this, but better. Although not as in depth as this. And surrounded by interesting stuff about football but not stickers.
You get the idea.
