So last night, Liam Neeson and Bongo from U2 invade my front room and start snapping their fingers at me to tell me that people are starving, and that if I wear a white wristband, this will stop.
I forget instantly about it, but at the newsagents this morning, I notice a selection of these charity wristbands for sale on the counter. They are all different colours, and I ask the man if these are the makepovertyhistory wristbands. He regrets that no, they are not. He has anti-bullying, and anti-racism, but not anti-poverty. In a snap decision, I elect that I am more bothered about poverty than I am about bullying or racism, so I leave the shop with only a newspaper under my arm.
However, I am suggestible, so I have now ordered one online. Once this wristband arrives through my letterbox, I assume that all poverty in the world will stop. I will let you know when this happens.

And what do you do with the tonnes of plastic that wont degrade for 60 squillion years? Someone should be making avocado-oiled Hemp bracelets woven by old dogs with no teeth in Pakistan. Much more biodegradable and therefore better all round.
