Holiday news: Vietnam for Christmas

Its been a busy few weeks which have mainly consisted of stripping horrid lime/disabled car green paint the past house owners had. Slightly gutted we missed out on a surprise Pirate Paul's Disco Dungeon special guest of one half of the Filthy Dukes.
A couple of nice highlights over the past few weeks were snowboarding at Xscape in Milton Keynes and finally mastering my technique without falling over. I'm desperate to update my 10 year old boots and bindings now.
But the best highlight is booking our next big holiday which will be cycling in Vietnam! We'll actually be taking it over Christmas and New Year flying out a few days after my birthday. We're using a company called Exodus and including their Cambodia extension to see Angkor Wat (see pic) and Phnom Penh. We'll be using rented cycles even though they allow you to bring your own and for about a week we'll be cycling between 60 and 90 kilometres a day!
Ignoring the presenters, the Top Gear Vietnam special gives you an idea of the beauty (and city traffic chaos) of the country.

The Mighty Boosh new live show review

Image
Thanks to my Modwolves fan club connections I managed to win exclusive tickets to see the brand new live show from the Mighty Boosh on Saturday. After our (unsuccessful) Thames boat ride we made our way over to 3 Mills TV studios in Bromley on Bow. If you don't want to know what's in the new live show then you'd best not read this as it will spoil the surprise. However if you want to know a summary of how it went then I'll say now, the performance was slightly worrying with only a week to go. There's a lot more mini-sketches and no real story compared to the previous tour. There's some great gags, some surprises but if it wasn't for their natural talent and personality the show would be slightly disappointing. Hopefully they'll put in some practice, improve the sketches that didn't quite work and maybe even come up with some new ideas. So, if you really don't want to know what happens in the show stop reading now, you have been warned. Mighty Boo...
