OFF THE VINE: A red hot chilli Peter?

<p>An era came to an end in Hong Kong last month, when feisty PR </p><p>supremo Peter Randall finally left the Hong Kong Tourist Association to </p><p>kick-start his own consultancy, which Vine has unreliably been told is </p><p>called "PR + ALL". </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>Anyway, a little bird at the HKTA's PR department kindly sent us a </p><p>couple of photographs of Peter at his finest, demonstrating that which </p><p>he apparently does best - i.e. stand around topless stuffing fresh </p><p>chillis into his gob. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>The photo on the left was taken at the farewell bash the HKTA threw for </p><p>young Peter, where the chilli afficionado was presented with the largest </p><p>variety of chilli products that anyone has ever seen in one place at one </p><p>time. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>Peter, you see, eats NOTHING unless chilli of some sort has been added </p><p>to it, which would explain some of his more fiery responses to probing </p><p>questions from the press about the performance of the HKTA. Now, before </p><p>the Official Peter Randall Fanclub writes in to complain about the </p><p>paltry size of the photo published on this august page, allow us to </p><p>explain. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>Having had the opportunity to examine the photograph in question at </p><p>close hand with a magnifying glass, Vine decided that in the name of </p><p>decency and decorum that our faithful readers be spared too much detail. </p><p>But we'll send happily the pic on to anyone who really, really wants it. </p><p><BR><BR> </p>
