I'm back kids. Ask no questions and I'll tell you no lies, but let's just say Manila, Prison and a dead hooker are a bad mix...
Now to business...
RTE's 'How low can you go'. A show which seems to answer it's own question. Now, I'm not at all an RTE basher. I enjoy Oireacthas Report and Leargas as much as the next man. I think its docu, news and comedy output is generally very good. It's choice of imports is on the money too. But what is this? It's a poorly executed travel show with the most offensive presenters since Fred West guested on Miriam Tonight. Three humans, who would have God fearing the imminent arrival of his P45, thrash their way through exotic climes, with interjections of sub-humour and the kind of charm that made the Yorkshire Ripper a worldwide star. They drink. They bare their arses. They talk to the camera with smug self-appreciation. There's the pasty nerdy dude, whose only meaningful contribution seems to be rehashing Christmas Cracker jokes, and the exotic looking athletic chap who is so full of himself that he needed skin grafts just to fit his ego in. There's the 'camper than a ferry load of tents sailing through a sea of potpourri' fellow who seems to revel in his 'mates' screaming heterosexuality with an 'I'll get you in the end' sleazy smirk.
Seriously, it's to travel programing, humour and good old fashioned fun what Telly Bingo is to current affairs.
Anyway, back tomorrow with normal service (talking about myself, my failed relationship, and an unfortunate work do)

Does anyone else think the tall bloke in How Low can you go? looks like the psycho from the film Copycat (Serious hillbilly material, looks like a banjo sounds).
Oh no it's back. Eughh. I'm off to shoot the television.
i (a) quite enjoy the programme and (b) have a thing for the lanky pasty one with the big nose.
does that make me a bad person?
@Rosie: That's fine unless you are agorophobic and look like Sigourney Weaver.
Rosie, by the 'he who protest too loudly' rule, I guess I do too...
