Last night there was a show on tv, one of those ratty reality ones

snotty western (in this case Australian) families go and spend some
time living with the locals in 3rd World conditions in Indonesia/
Africa.

A young Australian lad was trying to teach the local African tribesmen
how to play cricket.
'this is the bat, this is the ball, I bowl it to you, you then try to
hit it'.

'Why?'

was the response.

Priceless.
Well, I thought so.

I don't know how I recorded the first show, possibly by mistake but I
ended up just watching it anyway. It's been the only reality show I've
had any interest in whatsoever.

Looks like it has promise but I've yet to watch the last two weeks. It
only has promise because they picked complete morons who thought
they were going to be sunning themselves in an exotic location,
enjoying 5 star luxury, not living among tribes in remote locations
and living by their laws.

I'm sure I'll bore of it pretty quickly, particularly if the girls
continue to throw tanties, but I'll certainly seek out that scene.

Cheers,
Rod.
