GTIR : Would it surprise you to know the chap is a teacher ?

Typical.

Anyone attempting that with little mechanical knowledge, or sympathy, is a fool.

His kids have more insight than their parents. Cute kids.


Next week fat people go to Africa and eat orphans.

I'll give credit to the parents for wanting to show their children what life is like in Africa but, people as stupid as this couple really should stick to theme-parks.

My feelings too, putting your 3 kids in harms way like that. Then I thought about it and they actually did it, saved for it and put the plan in action. Another thing the Landcruiser had a flat rear when it was being towed away, could that have been the cause apart from the dumbass satnav driving aid?

Yep, fairplay for actually doing it but alarm bells rang for me when they planned to be reliant on the satnav. Africa just doesn't work like that.

I thought it was good that they showed this episode though because it suggested to me that it's not enough to just go and do it, you really have to think. Also, if you're taking kids, you should have at least a basic understanding of the places you're going to. They'd probably have been fine as a couple.

i watched an episode of this late last night, the one with the mum who takes her daughter on a poverty tour. she does nothing but tell the world she want to dump her fiance [despite her punching wayyy above her weight] and leave her job and then comes home 6mths early because she got tired and went straight back to the job she now missed. i have no idea what became of the relationship as i stopped caring.

last night was one of very few occasions these days where i have watched tv. good god i wanted to punch her repeatedly in the face. a complete and utter waste of tits.
