September 2007: Kuala Lumpur and Bali with the "family"

A long arranged holiday of the "family" in celebration of Jackie's 40th birthday. I was asked if I would like to join, and so was born "The Add On" / "Dodgy Uncle Mike".

Participants were:

• Jackie (aka "Judith Chalmers" / tour guide / "control freak" / "The Director")
• Tracy (aka "The Smiter" / "she who takes photos of toilets")
• Dave (aka "Dad")
• Libby (aka "Mum")
• Taff (aka "Uncle" / "Bobby" / "Wobert" / "David Bellamy")
• Lin (aka "Aunty", "Lindie")
• Mike (aka "The Add On" / "Dodgy Uncle Mike" / "Rex Hunt", and the one who always seemed to get the blame for everyone's hangovers, tiredness, lateness, illness - but do I get any sympathy?)

Also a certain set of movie sketches (who's idea was it to give Jackie a camcorder for her birthday?), the highlights of which include:

• Judith Chalmers' travelogues
• David Bellamy's wildlife documentaries
• Panorama-style hidden camera stalking. These include the quite brilliant ideas of: stalking the victim from in front of him; and doing "silent stalking" with a commentary! But the director can never stop talking so not really a surprise.
• "Cutting Shapes" in an "if you are ever in KL, this is a real cool club" club
• "Buddha eating a Chinese meal"
• The hotel band singing "Who The **** Is Alice?"
• and culminating in the dark, drunken "I Need A ****" sketch

All cheques for the movie to be addressed to B. R. Ibery, Alton.

Enjoy.
