a star studded cast

A real, human superhero, taking his top secret codename from the stories of Bond, Q (featured below in his alternative form ~ we put the mess in messiah, the heat in your fire) is possibly our most important ally. His business card reads: 'provider of rare services' and he is certainly that, and more.. he's a co-founder of the outstanding groupDown2Earth which supports social and ecological projects worldwide. Might Green Pea and Down2Earth work together in the future? If so, who's M ? Moneypenny? What about Bond? These are important questions and we need answers!

Anyway, to give you an idea of his superhuman abilities, Q (aka Prasanth) is currently making solar panels for the latest instalment of the author, Dan 'Idler' Kieran's latest project. P&Q being one of 3 intrepid members of Dan's brave, and soon-to-be-famous pilgrimage west (ahhh, to the dreamy land of Avalon, I'm coming over all Arthurian just thinking about it) presumably as part of the quest for that Holy Grail of politics, the future vision for our skeptic Isle, Kingdom of Albion! You can catch this project as it unfurls at: 'Three Men in a Float.' :-)

But to go back to the delightful P&Q (pictured here, fuzzily with Dan at D's recent wedding), he is multitalented, at home making (delicious) potato curry, or dressed as Kim Basinger (guys, got a picture?), fixing electric stuff, building stage sets, doing photoshop, VJ-ing or, seamlessly, carrying out professional photographic assignments. Truly a provider of rare services Pras, from Tamil Nadu South India is, quite simply, a lovely lovely person, and genius, all rolled into one.

Anyway, to introduce you to some more of the extended Green Pea gang, here's a picture of Dan's son Wilf sitting proudly behind the wheel of said Milk Float, nicknamed 'The Mighty One' as it awaits Prasanth's transformative work. Wilf will obviously be a key man in the future enlightened civilisation we are now, even as we speak, struggling to make reality (we are all of us on the Majesty's Secret Service..) so it behoves me to introduce him. Billy Bragg's immortal lines come to mind: "I am the milkman of human kindness, I will leave an extra pint"

So, as they embark on their 'Seige Perilous' of Arthurian legend: May the Farce Be With 'Em, with those 3 floaters as they venture West for their media shower.. full of good ideas and another book in the pipeline.
