Mountains and molehills.

Folded:

  • Doug Stanhope (currently speaking the truth and being highly amusing in the process on Newswipe)
  • Lebowski Fest (if you live in LA you have to go. They’re even holding a celebration of ‘What Have You’)
  • New trailer for Toy Story 3 (guaranteed to put you in a good mood. Full length greatness out 18th June)
  • Stylo by Gorillaz (back to the 80’s, for anyone who was actually alive then)
  • Bed socks (best invention since long johns. Sexy too)

Creased:

  • Dentists (there’s a reason we all hate going, it’s because they hurt us with the contents of David Cronenberg’s ‘at home surgery’ kit, that’s why)
  • ‘AS’ (stands for Allocated Seating. Means your trip to the cinema is about to be ruined by a tall guy with an extremely fat head)
  • Gypsy weddings (not classy. Colourful though)
  • Coach Trip (…returns for no reason whatsoever. The again if you’re at home in the day and not thumbing through the employment papers it might pass a few minutes of self loathing)
  • Putting off getting your hair cut (…to avoid talking to someone you wouldn’t normally engage if they set up camp in your front room)

But what of the other berks you met out there: The beer-bellied, tattooed chap wearing Union Flags anywhere possible, drinking in English pubs and eating English food. While in France. Or the perma-drunks, slurring their complaints at the waiter, while not even bothering to learn a single word of Spanish? Or the wife-swapping tapas eaters that didn’t notice their daughter had been abducted? What if you had the power to make them bugger off back home and stop spoiling your week away from reality?

This is the premise behind Channel 4′s Coach Trip, a reality show that follows a handful of couples on a free holiday around Europe.
