I Went To Brazil...

...and all you got was this lousy blog post! Count yourselves lucky.

Where to start? Well firstly, this has been the best World Cup in living memory. To put that into context, I started remembering World Cup's around 1998. On the horizon are some massive semis, the hardest of which is probably Brazil's. Given how far each team has 'cum' though, they'll all be looking at their respective 'drawers' with a big grin etched across their faces.

That's enough rubbish cock innuendos for one day!

I spent two weeks in Ceará, the self-proclaimed 'County Durham of Brazil'. It's nickname concerns the geographical location rather than any regional dialect. To be fair, I understood more of what was being said here than the last time I visited the birthplace of modern English mustard in the North East of England. I even learnt a new phrase, escovar os dentes. No idea why people kept shouting it at me though.

Upon my voyage I was accompanied by two other guys. To protect them from such real dangers as online phishing and celebrity paedophiles, I've altered their names in this post to Nollie & Bobbie. On reflection it's bit of a redundant act, as after this paragraph I don't mention them again.

We spent our days in the capital, Fortaleza, and also found time to head up the coast to both Cumbucu and Jericoacoara. If this were a travel blog I'd be singing the praises of all of these places right now, but it isn't...so I'm not.

Rather than bore you with reams of holiday snaps, I've included a link for you here to browse at your own leisure. The below makes it in though, as through sheer luck we managed to stumble across the one spot on Earth where the sun's light creates an almost mythical path across the ocean.

Totally tropical

Of course, it wouldn't be a hastily thrown together blog post about Brazil if I didn't mention the ladies and my word, some were definite Wawaweewa's. For those unversed in Kazakh, or unfamiliar with the film Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, the Wawaweewa is:
  • Wawaweewa = part time supermodel/full time regular model/Argentinian waitress (delete as applicable)
  • Wawawee = you've got the brains, you've even got the looks, but your odour's slightly offputting
  • Wawa = potential Wawawee, were it not for the missing limb/overactive bladder/weeping eye 
  • Wa = wouldn't touch with a barge poll (if I had a barge poll) for fear of infecting the barge poll
Thankfully, everyone seemed to be having a lovely time though.

How did you fair with the ladies I hear you ask (despite the fact I've already pre-written this?) Well, put it this way, the hottest woman I locked lips with turned out to be a man... Anyway, I'd say the whole experience has made me a more laid back and thoughtful person. 

'Was it all plain sailing?' asks somebody else, from somewhere. Well, actually, no. I suffered Caipirinha induced nightmares during the trip, such as being kidnapped by a cleverly disguised Harry Enfield & Paul Whitehouse, and losing my job over an affair I had with former kids TV presenter Josie d'Arby. Before and after photos clearly show the toll these episodes had:


It's a minor miracle that nothing was lost during the holiday, except for a small slice of dignity and all of our luggage on the way home (both of which are true.) I've also caught the travelling bug, by which I mean the bug to travel and not HIV/Aids, which if I'm being totally frank, I've not been checked for in a while.

I thought I'd sign off this blog post with a game of Spot the Difference, mainly because I've not done so before and I've two similar looking photos. There's no prizes so feel free to ignore. Legally I should point out that one of the faces has been altered, again to protect the individual concerned from nonces:

Calling All Office Fans

    Who's been to the Coventry Conference? Ah yes, the fictional Coventry Conference, co-ordinated by the equally fictional Eric Hitchmough . A man whom I've never fictionally met, or even seen, yet know so much about. From his little withered hand, the wanking claw , to his signature catchphrase, ' I don't agree with that in the workplace !' Eric is... and that is what I want.    If I've lost you, I can only assume you're not quite the fan of The Office that I called for in the title of this post, or I'm not the writer that I think I am! Allow me to explain...    T he Office is the single greatest sitcom of all time, sure, so it makes sense for it's legion of fans to have a social outlet to congregate and quote the show to their heart's content. The Facebook group ' Do You Not Know Who ERIC HITCHMOUGH Is' ,  DYNKWEHI , provides such a platform.    With it's mix of quality quoting, imaginative imagery and creative commenting,...

By Failing To Google, You're Preparing To Fail

   In this post, I'll be discussing a unique and inspired sitcom idea that I had with my good friend, and South America travel companion, James.    The idea was conceived in the midst of a hellish 43 hour bus ride between Ecuador and Peru. Could we, two middle class fuddy-duddies, born and raised on separate sides of the Watford Gap, compose a piece about the second coming of Christ? Of course we could... The Plot Manchester, 1994* Following the demise of the Madchester scene, Chris Turley and Tony Digest, perennial party people, attempt to go cold turkey. Tony vigorously sticks to his abstinence, terrified of the repercussions of Mary, his girlfriend. Chris, however, struggles and it's not long until he's bouncing off the walls again in The Haçienda . With clarity restored (and coinciding with the much-anticipated release of The Stone Roses  Second Coming album), Tony begins to notice strange and mysterious similarities between Chris's lif...

London Actually

   London has literally been around forever. With a multitude of sights, sounds, smells and tastes, there's something for everyone. In the past month, I myself have begun to scratch the surface on weekends. Come forth and let me share my experiences. Or, if you want to know what it's really like, watch Love Actually .    My first jaunt was to a cinema so secret, it's called Secret Cinema . The date was Sunday 5th March, the film Moulin Rouge . For those unfamiliar with the concept, you while away an evening in a purpose built set, combining live action performances with a screening of the film in question. Nothing's secret really, as the film and location are provided beforehand. Presumably, this is so people aren't left wandering the streets, wondering what they've signed up for.    Photos are strictly forbidden, but I'd describe my venture to late 19th century Montmartre as boozy, magical and slightly embarrassing, when one of the actors tried to make...
