David Trent - Funny Man

David Trent has the best blog on the internet... well... when he writes on it. He is a good friend and one of the funniest men I have ever met, a father, stand-up comedian and primary school teacher...he is a funny beardy man.

He draws pictures on post-it notes on his blog sometimes. I like that. It's nice and they are fun.







Have a look at his blog...

Harrington's Video Diary # 1

Hello interweb, Harrington here.

It's that time again, with another snow day, comes another Tropical video diary. This video features me, Luke, snow, some posh kids, and the streets of Fulham. Me and Luke, rather spontaneously organised a snowball fight over facebook. He ran a few streets to my house, and the fun began (i fucked him up.) After this, we took such a snowy opportunity to film my video diary. As we were walking, we came under siege by some Italian/Russian kids. Only one of them was up for it, the other walked away and the other one, as we returned snowball fire, shouted "No, don't throw that at me, it was him! I don't care if it's snow, it hurts." We felt sorry for the young Polish child, and left them be. But it was as we were filming part of the diary that we came under attack once more, this time by some kids on private property. They were lobbing snowballs over the big black electronic gate, but the moment another resident of the private estate opened it up, we charged in to throw a few back. It was only after this, we realised that the gate had closed behind us, and we were not only trespassing, but we were trapped in with 5/6 odd energetic 14 year olds.

Anyway, at one point one of the kids shouted "hit the camera!" And they were successful, which somehow lost us half of the pretty hilarious battle footage. However, we've dragged together the rest just for you.

Namaste, and enjoy.

Just Incase you missed it...The Race

This video was the first proper release from TropicalTV, it is a sort of trailer/sneak preview as to what you can expect from the full fledged tropicaltv output. In the meantime, make we will release diaries, and silly little things. But we have 4 new videos up throughout the next couple of weeks, one of which is a music video. Thats all I'm saying. So this has been up to watch for a good few weeks now as we were building the site, but just incase you missed it...here it is to watch.

I obviously didn't win, but what you don't see in this video is that I predicted I would finish a tight 3rd. So in a way I did win. Yes I'm the winner.

Keep it real kids, and get running again, to many fat kids about these days, whatever happened to racing your friends? I suppose it just went out with Pokemon. Shame really.

Metronomy - A Thing For You

This is up there as one of the best videos of the year so far, Metronomy are well and truely back, the track is really good, and the video really is the shit. Big up Metronomy!


Sick right? The Hawaiin shirts are doing alot for me.

Tropical Snowstorm

Me and Harrington decided to take advantage of the snowy conditions today, in taking advantage we had a good few snow fights with total strangers, all of which were under the consenting age, don't worry we didn't touch them. But anyway, we captured bits and bobs of the snowfights and stuff on camera, so that will be put together as Harringtons first Diary entry. Check back later tonight for that! Here are some snaps from the day homies.







Keep check back at the blog! Lots of updates, lots happening. And we are funny.

The Sunny Night Sky

Hey, Bunchy here.

Just a short first blog post from me, regarding the weather. I write this now, @ nearly half 2 in the morning, with no lights on in my room. Why? Because the light from the night sky is doing the business for me. I tried to take pictures, but I don't actually own a digital camera. I have my phone camera, my mum's phone camera, and a few old throw-away cameras. The latter is obviously out of the question and the quality of the phone images were too poor to upload. So I will just have to describe it to you.

Midnight is supposed to be the darkest time of the day, but today over many parts of the UK, particularly England and even more particularly, London, had some serious snowfall. It was on and off for the past 48 hours but really started going this evening at about 7pm or so. It continued to fall, and started to settle and a look outside my window now shows a good 4 or 5 inches of snow and it's still falling. But the strange thing about this night ladies and gentleman, is not the snowfalls, but the colour of the sky. It's like day, I mean to say that, any other day I would pull back my curtains to see nothing, pitch black. But tonight, I can see everything, it's practically sunny, a bright yellow sky. It's really surreal. It could easily be about 3pm, but it's not quite 3am.

I do however, have a theory which might interest you (but also, might not). My theory is, because there is such heavy snowfall, the capital is practically covered in snow. All of London's streelights have yellow bulbs. Perhaps the streelights everywhere are reflecting off of the white snow, and lighting up the night sky?

Your thoughts on this strange blog post?
