Call me Uncle Bobby Bali baby, Uncle Bobby Bali – 23 of us heading to Bali on Thursday. Someone’s 30th birthday. All the lads are going, plus a few ladies.

So.

To be honest I think you’re mad to let me and Finchy on the bleedin’ telly. We’re like Morecambe and Wise when we’re together. No, not Morecambe and Wise, because there’s no straight man, there’s no dead wood. I’m more sort of character based, and he’s more of a gag man. I do gags as well. But we’re good together, by now. We sort of read each other’s minds – we’ll be doing a bit of schtick and we’ll just start cracking up, and people watching will go ‘Why’s that funny?’ and we tell them why and they go ‘Oh yeah, yeah, you are the best.’ It’s their opinion.

friday night lights

Currently digging on Friday Night Lights.

It gets good reviews over at Metacritic, e.g. at the Washington Post:

Extraordinary in just about every conceivable way — but especially in the quality of its cast.

All about American footy, but you don’t have to be into American footy to enjoy it. Apparently it’s a spot on portrayal of small town America and high school football.

In HMV in HK, the box set is going for $239. 16 hours for $239, that’s a 0.249 per min! That looks good on the DVD Box Set Value Graph.

Talking of graphs and nerds.

walkalator

Soooooooo, the van we hired broke down, and we didn’t make it to Tagaytay. After waiting for two hours for the guy’s friend to arrive, I could no longer be bothered. Instead, we went shopping. Well, wandering around malls and supermarkets.

They love a bit of Spam:

Not what’s in this, I think it’s just some sort of mushroom shit:

Yes yes, I know.

To get from the supermarket to the car park, you had to take the Walkalator! It was a pretty steep slope and I was thinking how it was a recipe for disaster …. However, it’s magnetised. Awesome.

From the wiki:

Vulcan point, which lies within Crater Lake, is the world’s largest island in a lake on an island in a lake on an island.

Got to see that.

So, I’ve got my new camerae in my new camerae bag … ehhhh heeee. Kiss my bad self, cha’mone!

Umm, staying at Private Dancer Doris’s house. Last time I met her sister and brother, this time, erm, her two kids. Call me Tito Shaky.

What? No flashing lights?

I actually was hoping for a cross between the Touch and the Classic. i.e. a Touch with 160GB. Now I’m gonna have to buy both.

iPod Touch. iPod Classic. iPod ‘wide-boy’ nano.

Gutted I missed this this morning. I wondered why loads of people were lined up along the harbour in Comedy Town.
