Through
that miracle of modern communication – the AA grapevine (no! not
that ONE!)
– faster even than a speeding bullet we've learned that not
everybody in East Kent is a happy Easter bunny! It would seem that
our dear old friend Harry K (he who hails from across
the pond and has an absolutely appalling dress sense – yeah! that
one!) went into a bit of rant in Birchington (a rather nice little
hamlet in East Kent although the smell of cabbages from the nearby
fields is sometimes rather overwhelming) recently. His usually
STRONG message of recovery (or at least he thinks so) was somewhat
overshadowed by an almost – dare we say – unhealthy preoccupation
with yours truly! Apparently the aacultwatch site was mentioned from
time to time with our hero appearing somewhat aggrieved at our less
than complimentary coverage of his activities in these heathen lands.
Now we would never describe Harry as being a shrinking violet.
Indeed the fellow seems to be more than happy to grab the limelight
at every opportunity. For some years now he has made it is his holy
mission to carry THE message to any hapless native who has the
misfortune to cross his path. Harry hails from that particular
fundamentalist school of thought (although it is doubtful any real
thinking takes place!) falling under the umbrella of the Primary Purpose gang with his group
even listed in its directory (ie. an outside affiliation). The group
goes by the name of …. wait for it! … WAIT FOR IT! …..Herne Bay
Big Book Salvation (Wednesday)! Ta ra! … Oh dear! How embarrassing!
But never mind..... we all suffer from a bit of grandiosity from time
to time! Now you're going to have to bear with us on this one. Does
ranting fall under the category of having a RESENTMENT? And what
do the recovery experts tell us we MUST do if we have a resentment?
Well we seem to recall it usually involves WRITING IT DOWN IN YOUR
STEP 10, SPEAKING TO YOUR SPONSOR ABOUT IT THEN GETTING ON YOUR
KNEES and PRAYING FOR THE RESENTMENT TO BE REMOVED … or something
along those lines....?? Still if Harry wants to have a good old
fashioned rant then we quite understand. And of course it's all
publicity for us isn't it! We're not complaining. But the funny
thing is we'd almost forgotten about Harry. Thanks for the reminder!

PS You can also catch Harry K performing with his sidekick Harry A (another pompous windbag!) at the Westgate-on-Sea Sunday meeting (see our Cult Where to Find) where they do a kind of double act. Can be quite entertaining if you find Sundays too boring and you need a laugh.....
