Pretty intense Japanese lessons

Just for laughs before I get back into some proper Japanese stuff, I came across this set of videos on YouTube! Yes, as I already told you guys, I am addicted to the darn site!
This young lady named Emily teaches some Japanese lessons in a cheesy set of ‘lessons’. To be honest I [...]

Skins

I have had 4oD on my computer for some time now but have rarely used it. I think the last time I properly used it was to watch Big Brother clips in the summer. For those of you that don’t know, 4oD is the service from Channel 4 that lets you watch TV [...]

Just look at the pic above..  The woman is ’sunbathing’ where?  Is that supposed to be a beach?  YIKES!  Glass bottles and [...]

Delivery blues

Since I became addicted to YouTube, I have been trawling through a few vids and came across this one I liked! It’s about a guy who used a whole day waiting to get a parcel from a courier which didn’t turn up!
The reason I like it is because it’s full of energy and he [...]

Dinner in the sky

Is it just me, or are these people absolutely MAD!
They are having dinner in the sky! Suspended from a crane at heights of up to 160ft! I am not exactly scared of heights (since I like to travel and get on a plane all the time). But, when it comes to hanging from a [...]
