Darlo's World

So I officially have a new place in Leeds which means I can crack on with my Japanese studying; something that’s been close to impossible most of the time here in Shropshire. Today me and Simon took the first lot of things over to my new house, aswell as set up the gas, lecky and water.

After freaking out Simon in the cellar (that does sound pretty bad doesn’t it) when we were looking for the gas and electric meters, we headed to Swedish superstore Ikea where he stunned me with this line.

I feel like we are in America being in this Ikea.

After getting back home I tuned into good old Mock the Week (on Dave) where of all the jokes, one of Hugh Dennis’s one liners really stood out.

These Korean meatballs really are the dogs’ bollocks.

So while sitting at home faffing about, randomly on the telly pops the Mr Bean cartoon. Not really paying too much attention to it as I was killing time googling pointlessly random sentances such as “Mike’s reading a menu” and “Screw you Webber”, something grabs my attention in the distance. It was Japanese … but it was in Bean-style.

In a particular episode called “Gadget Kid”, Mr Bean meets a (somewhat) stereotypical Japanese boy at a museum, with neither of them speaking each others language. So folks I present to you (because not much else has happened lately worth blogging about (aka still looking for a house in Leeds)) the episode via youtube.
