a trip in rural Ireland?

I mean, come on, ffs.

Surely the biggest challenge is getting enough footage without walkers in it?

Obviously should have changed my name to "MrsRayMears" there but I can't be arsed.

cornsilk · 04/07/2009 22:07

Who is this Ray Mears bloke?

SecretNinjaChipmunk · 04/07/2009 22:07

are ray mears and mr tumble related? i think justin may be his younger brother......

cornsilk · 04/07/2009 22:08

How would Mr Tumble fare in Expat's survival show?

muffle · 04/07/2009 22:08

Oh harsh!

expatinscotland · 04/07/2009 22:09

Mr. Tumble wouldn't even make it to first base.

Yuk.

Nor Ray Mears.

Just a bit too podgy guys.

I know some gals like a teddy bear to cuddle, my best friend's like that, but it's really not my thing.

SecretNinjaChipmunk · 04/07/2009 22:13

teddy bears in safari suits don't do it for me either. i'm going to throw a new name into the ring: bruce parry. now i would shag him quite happily. and i believe he's hung like a donkey!

SecretNinjaChipmunk · 04/07/2009 22:14

'scuse me but i think my wine may be kicking in and dp is away on a stag do tonight, ho hum....sorry getting a bit carried away here

muffle · 04/07/2009 22:16

Look!

rugged and lovely

show-off

Buddleja · 04/07/2009 22:17

Mr Tumble makes me want to smash the tv to bits

I've no idea who Ray Mears is - or Bruce Parry

Off to google

muffle · 04/07/2009 22:18

whereas I really can't see what he's doing here

(much as I rate him)

SecretNinjaChipmunk · 04/07/2009 22:18

you just caused me to spit a mouthful of wine onto my keyboard as i snorted with laughter. the bear picture just says it all. i think maybe he has too much testosterone?

cornsilk · 04/07/2009 22:18

Neither of them do anything for me.

BCNS · 04/07/2009 22:21

LOl I love to watch old bear.. just so I can think " I don't get it".. I mean surely if he can set a fire to cook bit of the very thoughtful sheep who had only just died along the path he was walking.. then he could have popped the heart in his little mug thing and cooked that too.. rather than just having a token raw nibble.

and anyway.. he reminds me of my exH.. flipping fire starting block on his keyring and w*nker trouser and walking boots for a moning out shopping in a very middle class surrey town.. FFS!

LMAO

SecretNinjaChipmunk · 04/07/2009 22:21

brucey baby

Buddleja · 04/07/2009 22:21

Why is he eating a zebra? Does he think he's a lion?

BCNS · 04/07/2009 22:24

now your talking brucey baby actually puts himself through pain.. and he sorts lots of dodgey tribal concoctions(sp) and gets high! LOL

muffle · 04/07/2009 22:24

Ooh no, ninja... he looks like prince charles!

Well I'm keeping Ray then since none of you want him.

expatinscotland · 04/07/2009 22:26

Oh no! Bruce Perry looks like he'd give you some nasty disease or bum parasite.

Eeeewww.

cornsilk · 04/07/2009 22:27

Imagine the lot of them together. Along with Donal Mcintyre and Gordon Ramsay. It'd be like Lord of the Flies.

expatinscotland · 04/07/2009 22:29

PMSL, cornsilk!

cornsilk · 04/07/2009 22:30

They'd have Mr Tumble on a spit on the first night.

SecretNinjaChipmunk · 04/07/2009 22:32

surely bear would have to have it raw? poor mr tumble! at least ray cooks his food!

BCNS · 04/07/2009 22:32

bear would be sat away from the group with his own "special fire".. gnawing at something dead yet not cooked.. gordon would be swearing at ray who was weaving a plate and knives and forks out of treebark.. and brucey boy would be smoking a local but legat leaf that got him totally off his trolley.. whilst he tapped a tribal tattoo into Mcintyres arm!

SecretNinjaChipmunk · 04/07/2009 22:34

i so want to be there
