Your Second Challenge – Banzai 2006 Ugandan Stylee

Welcome to Banzai 2006 my friends! In respect of my former days with Mr Andru Keel at the Forest Hill Community Church massive, Banzai returns, and this time with a Ugandan flavour.

The first challenge is to guess how many people can fit into the taxi in the photo and then travel at dangerous speed for a distance of 1.5 miles without being stopped by the police and without anyone dying! There are no options in this challenge, you just have to guess a figure.

The answer will come next time with an explanation of where everyone sat. The lucky contestant with the correct answer will win one of the things that will feature in the next Banzai challenge so do tune in next time!

(P.S. the number can include up to 2 children but no more, the rest being adults, oh, and no midgets!)

Settling in to Life with the Boys

Despite the crazily early starts I’m settling in to life at the new boys home. The only main problem that we have is a family of rats! Last night I walked into the kitchen to discover the fat mama climbing the wall and disappearing through a hole. Rats that climb walls – hmmm… they must be crazy mutant rats with special powers.

Also, after being so excited about having a flushing loo we discovered that it struggles to flush anything solid! That means there can be special presents waiting for you if the previous resident was too lazy to sort it out and this leads to a need of “mashing” with the loo brush! I can hear the groans of disgust from here so I’ll stop there on that one!

The 2 photos are of the house warming party we had last week and also of my lovely room. Now I’ve got all my photos up I’m feeling right at home!

FISHLIPS!!!

Those of you who know me well will know that the term “fishlips” is a favourite of mine. Many times I have searched for a graphic illustration of this fabulous phrase and after years of struggling to find one that does it justice, I feel that with this photo my quest can finally end!!

(By the way, the woman is Natalie, Duncan and Mary’s cook, don’t ask me what the fish was called, we munched it before it had a chance to tell us! I saved its lips, ready as a prize for your second challenge which will come next time…)

Table manners?? Ha...Don’t be silly!

Well, I’m into my first week as “daddy”. I’ll be honest, much as I’m enjoying it, I’m absolutely knackered!! This is mainly because of the early morning starts at 5:50am to get the boys up and make them breakfast, then pack them off to school! Can you imagine, me, Tim Crow getting up in the hour of 5!!!! Anyway, other then the early starts it’s great to be with the boys.

I’m doing my responsible bit, setting up cleaning rotas, helping with homework and even the odd bed time story! Then of course I’ve been teaching them the art of table manners “RABU style” as this photo demonstrates!!
