Bank Holidays - The Revenge.

Hello.

It's May. And that means there are two bank holidays.

May is also the month when the real idiots come out to play.

It is just coming up to the end of the 4th day of the month and already I have had to explain to TWO separate people how the sun works, the benefits of using the reverse gear rather than attempting to circumnavigate the globe in order to line up a caravan and was forced to take part in the following conversation:

camper: Why Can't I get on your free Wi-fi?

me: Have you logged on using the password with your laptop?

camper: I don't have a laptop.

(you can already guess where this gem of sketch is going...)

me: Oh okay, is it a tablet or a phone then?

camper: No I don't have any of those. I'm using my TV.

me: ....... no........

This happened.

I know there are some people out there who do not understand the internet and that is fine, we are all different. But who in their right mind thinks that they can the bloody internet on a crappy little 12 inch TV they bought on the cheap from Tesco?

But that's people for you.

In other news, I will soon be performing another film review and Interviewing a proper celebrity.

I will leave you guessing who it might be in the comments but as a clue it is one of the most famous names in music and I was lucky enough to grab a quick chat with him...... or her, it could be a her.

More on that later in the month.

Stay tuned or stay ignorant.

  1. Wow ... at least tell me they were about 80 years old. That's the only possible excuse I could think of for thinking that you could access the internet through a tv.

    1. He was in his 50's so he really should have known better. They will all be gone tomorrow and I can relax for a bit. Bingo tonight, it's my last chance to snatch a few quid from their grubby hands. (cue evil laugh) Mwa- hahahaha.

  3. You can access the Internet through a TV, if it's a new Smart TV of course. I wouldn't expect that kind of functionality on a small TV at a campsite though.

    As for the celebrity, is it George Formby?

    1. Well out on the George Formby guess i'm afraid.

      The only thing I can get through the TV is my foot whenever Jamie Oliver is on. I can't stand the man.... he owes me a new TV.

  5. Sorry I am a bit late Mr H I have been gorilla gardening, they get everywhere huge hairy lumps are just a damn nuisance. Anyway you may have solved my internet problem I was having with my cheap Tesco tele, I will return it tomorrow and demand a refund.

    I am trying to think of a celeb but my mind has gone blank, but I do know it will not be Jamie Oliver so that is one dealt with. Believe it or not and this is very true indeed as in it really happened today someone told me I looked like John Lennon before he was born. Someone else who sniggered said that they meant I should be put in a cell.
