While not (yet) a household name to rank alongside the likes of Godzilla, the Abominable Snowman, or the Marshmallow Man, Westcountry civil servant Captain “King-Kai” Caveman Kai Blankley is nonetheless a certifiable monster. Kai hits the big screen soon in the blockbuster that should “break” him in Hollywood: “Kai Slings A Girl Over His Shoulder And Carries Her Off To His Cave.” If you don’t want to know the ending look away now: Kai gets blown to bits by the US Air Force while climbing up the Eiffel Tower. Popular Indie Band “The Kaiser Chiefs” were named after him as a mark of respect. Kai’s favourite past-time is putting the Kai back in Kybosh. Kai is a flanker and a sevens specialist.

"I want my wife to have Kai's babies." - Lawrence Brown. "Marvellous, Five stars" Oliver Pool, small critic.
