Those Happy Days #2 Those Crappy Days

[Zelig]

These clowns are making me laugh with this one. I cant help but enjoy their panic and discomfort simply because it was so predictatable and avoidable but they chose to carry on with their folly.

I dont believe that theyre on their own, but also dont think theyre on the official challenge - theyve either got Jackory to organise stuff, or they are going ahead/behind the challenge people - dont think theyre being honest about it all anyway. We know they were promting Jackory, " Torch will really come in handy at night time" - no sht sherlock! And they had to collect Pete from a hostel where it was delivered, (where challengers are staying?)

They both got the shits - no sympathy.
Worzel bitten by a spider (or was it a bedbug/pubic lice)?! - no sympathy
Nanna looking terrified - so funny, no sympathy
Nanba rolling backwards in parked Pete - so funny
Even Worzel stopped giving it large for once!

Nanna, if you cant speak properly, then STFU! Its RupEES not RUPYS, its BenGALL not BenGAYLE.

The funniest bit for me was them being screwed out by a very large hungry woman in the hotel restaurant which made them leave - if you missed it, its at 14.04 and worth watching for the death stare of said woman at Nanna!

They said Petes only got one dipstick, I'd say its got three!

Dont be surprised if Worzel & Nanna are at home at Nannas parents right now as they gave up on day 2 and flew home weeks ago.

I did lost my glove I did.

Karma... I bet LTT is having a crafty little snigger to himself, as indeed he should.

 

[Shrop]

Thrilled to have just discovered this thread !! When I first came across this pair on You Tube, I honestly thought they were siblings and that Liam was the carer for his developmentally challenged sister. Their UK vanlife content was just a pointless odyssey of coffee shops and supermarket toilets. I'm also sick of the sight of Janine's dry cracked lips in close up.

 

[Tuppence]

Filming themselves hugging on the side of the road was just so pathetic. It's obvious they had to position the camera, get the right angle and then cling to each other for the dramatic footage of them worried and freezing in the dark. Mental. Then filming her crying back at her Mum's and him reaching out to say everything would be OK (her hero!). Exploitative shyte to milk sympathy (and coins no doubt) from their viewers. No doubt they are worried about what to do but seriously need to reconsider van life. It just isn't them. They use a relatives home/ hotel/b + b too often to call themselves full-time vanlifers.

 

[Pontyslapper]

fucking clickbaity cunts....

it was £50 EACH - tomorrows ferry trip is £102 for a couple.

The trip ended up costing them north of 250 by my reckoning, with them both clearly getting wankered on the ferry and getting squiffy in the tourist trap cafes - so hardly look what we got for £50.

Rapidly getting to the end of even hate watching them.

 

[EleanorRigby]

I can't imagine much more depressing than their existence tbh.
Supermarket carpark surfing. Worried about cars and knocks on the door. Going from toilet to toilet and tap to tap.
Far from having freedom they seem incredibly constrained and tied to the mundane things that everybody else does, just a bit different.

I disagree, I think their existence is more mundane than the average person. The average person does not spend the majority of their time worrying about where to do their next shit, where they're going to sleep for the night, where they can get water and gas. They are so disorganised and frankly thick that they have managed to make van life look like a complete drudgery.
No wonder the van life community think they're a couple of buffoons.

 

[Judy5cents]

Did anyone notice what was on Liam's shirt as he was driving around aimlessly so he could charge the batteries? A melting planet Earth with the words "Not Cool," which I assume is meant to show his support to end global warming. And he's wearing it as he's spewing dangerous diesel particulates into the atmosphere, making global warming worse.

Not cool, Liam.

 

[k500rjs]

Ok that's it my partner has banned me from watching them anymore, in case they give a heart attack or similar there are just pointless and a waste of my time, I'm off to watch paint dry.

 

[Martini travels]

So the neglected, abused green monstrosity has said fuck it and finally thrown in the towel ....Can't say I blame it the way Wurzel drives it !
Soooo if it was pissing oil the oil warning light would have come on first - hint here Wurzel stop driving asap and investigate ...
2nd hint - engine management light comes ( your van is saying HELP) stop driving now you fucking bellend !
3rd hint- the engine management light is now flashing , your van is warning you to fucking stop before it implodes ...
Too late ......
That 'ceased' engine may have been mitigated if you weren't such a weapons grade arrogant, useless twat Wurzel . Then there is the fake tears and incessant whining....that thing they put your van on Janine is a low loader - specialist piece of kit needed to remove a car/van/lorry that is completely fucked ! The RAC doesn't not exist solely to turn up for your benefit ...surprise surprise there may have been others ahead of you in the queue for assistance you entitled fucking snowflake .
Oh and on what planet do you think your insurance is going to pay for your breakdown recovery because you couldn't be bothered to wait for YOUR breakdown service to arrive !
Just quit now and save us all the pain ....except you won't because you earn roughly £3,000 a month from the half arsed pathetic drivel you pump out as content and you may have to actually work to fund your vanlife the same as the rest of us .

 

[Diamond Geezer]

Now look what you made me do - your side-splitting hilarious comments forced me to break my new year’s resolution not to watch anymore of this crap after just two days into the new year. I hope you’re happy.

We all know how this will end - in a crash - it’s inevitable. The fact that Pete strangely got delivered to a hostel rather than their hotel says it all - some sort of organised trip arranged by the mysteriously named “Prince”. The Jackery also just miraculously appeared as if by magic too in India. Not even a five year old would believe anymore of the Scarecrow’s stories.

 

[Tuppence]

What is the point of van life if you're reduced to kipping in a Tesco car park to save money? I understand it with people who have to live in a van and aren't doing it as a youtube lifestyle and good luck to them. But this couple's whole spiel is about travelling, seeing wonderful places, being free and 'having adventures'. What adventures? Moaning about the mud and the queing at Octoberfest, whinging about Europe in general, sitting like two sad Billy No Mates on a ferry to Rotterdam all excited that they were on 'a cruise ship' and could have a shower and shyte in some semblance of comfort, cooking the best ever goulash from packets of Tesco stuff in said supermarket's carpark and being awake and worried at 4am because of a car. It's depressing. Also one would imagine they are eco conscious because of their veganism but, no, they buy a load of old plastic Christmas tat (what happened to last year's, gone to landfill I guess) and act like excited children would on Christmas Eve (in the middle of November) over a few twinkly lights. They do my head in.

 

[ohmyreally!]

I've read from Christmas till now.

I actually watched the Xmas vlog as it came up as a suggested video.

No way was India a surprised trip.

I work in travel, you don't just book a flight to India, this has been planned or is part of a tour. There are visas, jabs, insurances etc plus you can not book a 1 way flight, you have to have a return/onward ticket. Also 99% of the time its cheaper to book a return, even if you don't use the return! How did HE do all that when he is with HER 24/7 living in a small space?

The video where they announced how much their van is going to cost to fix...£10k! HOW? Who has £10k down the back of the sofa? Knew that green monster wouldn't work out. No idea why they sold the white van they had, they could have rearrange the van to make a bed fit for him.

I've seen Courts and Meeks been mentioned on here....how fab are those two! The orange gets me abit but I love them and really enjoying their Tunisia vlogs. Their bed design is something THDs could have looked at in their own van but I get the impression that they would rather have 'new' then fix and repair. Money doesn't fix everything.

I think they would be best suited to part time vanlife - like they use to do. Have a base so Nanna has her home comforts and travel every other week for a few days or extended trip. That's what I do, minus the youtube channel haha. I couldn't do full time, plus a primary school aged son, I like my home comforts but I also love vanlife/the great outdoors. Sometimes we just head out to the countryside for a night (we live semi rural anyway), enjoy the peace and quiet then come back to reality!

Not watched THDs since they picked up the rickshaw...might have a quick skip through this weekend haha.

 

[Camperfan]

I had stopped watching them but I caved as I am quite committed to yoga practice so wanted to see what the ashram was like.
Wish I hadn't, they made me cross almost straight away, keep banging on how the fact they couldn't leave got them down - rather than just accepting that and getting in with it.
Also banging on about how after going YouTube for two years they need a break. How is a break you are still filming and editing a break?! Also it's an ashram, you would surely know that it is going to be a simple live with early mornings and quiet activity.
They have chosen to not have 9-5 jobs, the trade off is they have to film what they get up to. If you don't like it quit and get a normal job and take your 25 days annual leave like the rest of us.
Call themselves Those Happy Days but the reality is they do nothing but make faux drama and seen miserable about it.
I've had a word with myself and will not watch anymore!

 

[Jelly Bean]

Don’t really think Nana will be able to take much more of that lifestyle - she looks ready to crack up.

I wonder if her parents have been having a word with her. Basically wtf are you doing living in a fucking lorry, drifting between supermarket carparks. With Liam sitting there in his smelly hat.

 

[ohmyreally!]

I can't believe I have found a thread of THD - excited! I follow alot of vanlifers and I did follow these for a while until the LTT drama. Going to have a read back of this thread to see what you all think! I really dislike them and find them so hard to watch. BRB!

 

[Pontyslapper]

Yet another undeclared shill - this time Jackery and a side mention for Eco Tree Lithium

They are again taking the piss and squatting in Tesco's car park. Grizzling about nailling the batteries down to 25% and no chance to charge up, so they have to stump up £18 for a night in a campsite to charge the batteries. Erm, don't run high draw shit like hairdryers - Worzel blaming the lights - if you've got LEDs they pull a quite low amount. It'll be boiling the kettle and other high drain stuff that'll have done it.

I have 1 110Ah battery on our van - it has a 300W inverter to let us plug the TV and Switch in, but also has 2xfag lighters and 3 x standard USB and 3 x PD quick charge USB. I've never yet managed to knock it down even powering the TV, Switch and 4 modern top end samsung phones and a couple of power banks for several hours during an evening away.

At least we had no gopping Nanna in the shower shots today.

How the fuck do you get the wheels spinning on a flat field on mildly moist grass - with General Grabbers. He really can't drive for shit. Gentle on the clutch and ease it out.... oh no Worzel, slams it into reverse and dumps the clutch. What a fucking bellend.

I think they've run their family and friends' patience with their plugging in and drawing water. Now as mentioned in passing, they are clearly turning their attentions to small, independent cafes and the like for nicking power to charge laptops and phones etc.... SCUM!

 

[Charlie&Lulu]

Ok so I need to confess, I may have been massively hungover yesterday and in my weakened state I may have watched yesterday’s blog. Well…..what a load of rambling nonsense that was?! Worzel doesn’t say anything once, he repeats himself over and over again. Secondly, he has zero clue about market forces and how hotel prices are set does he? The clue is - if all hotels are charging £25 a night, that is the going rate, you’re not being fiddled you tight fisted dim whit.

On a final note this blocked chakra business….Liam is having the time of his life as a backpacking hippie, Janine is hating it. It doesn’t take any special spiritual enlightenment to work that one out.

Feeling very disappointed with myself for lack of willpower and feeling slightly dirty I will try my best to abstain moving forward…

 

[Tuppence]

I think they are so used to getting free or discounted meals from promoting stuff on their vegan food site that they hate parting with money for meals out.

I go back to London every year and there are loads of places in the centre where you can eat a great meal for under a tenner each and will include vegan options. Do they not research anything before heading anywhere? We had an all you can eat buffet (tacos) for under 7 pounds each at Covent Garden in August this year. Absolutely delicious. It was an early bird - between 5pm and 7pm - perfect before heading to a show, the flicks or a gig. They come across as very dim.

There are loads of free things to do in London as well - galleries, museums, exhibitions, parks, landmarks. There's free music in loads of places as well, including the Festival Hall. They could have had a shyte in grand surroundings there without even buying a coffee. They research nothing apart from park ups and often get those wrong.

When the camera is not rolling

 

[Sunshine99]

Oh the food is amazing and yes very cheap, but there are many ways of paying forward to the community’s they are visiting.

I spoke to a person who had spent time traveling in India, they said they regretted not being more generous with their money to begin with, e.g instead of paying 80p for a meal paying £1.60, you can literally give them double and it have little impact on your budget. Or giving a £10 for a scarf you like instead of pennies, and changing someone's week. He's a vile man, you can see all over his face how he loves giving as little as possible and taking as much as he can get.
