Task number: 84.
Sell all your junk on ebay & make a profit.
Date: 29th March 2012.
Location: Hilversum, Netherlands.
Attendees: NA
A difficult task, given that there wasn't that much to sell in the end. You'd think that moving house, I'd have all sorts of stuff to get rid of.
I put a number of items up for sale, but only One sold.
Funnily enough it was a book by a man who is probably most recently famous for his ridiculous antics on film involving something very similar to the Bloody book.
Karl Pilkington's latest series "An idiot abroad Two" follows him trying various peoples ideas of life experiences from a bucket list. I won't give too much away because if you haven't seen it yet, I strongly advise that you do, but the basic point of the show is for Karl to experience the ultimate bucket list. This is a list compiled by the shows other Two stars Ricky Gervais & Stephan Merchant & based on most peoples dream to do before they die. He can select any activity from the list, but Ricky & Stephan ensure that each One is as entertaining as possible by dropping in a few unexpected surprises. Pilkington is a self confessed creature of comfort & clearly hates doing any of the tasks, which makes it all the more funny.
You get to know Karl & his "unique" personality through this & the previous series & this book is a clear reflection, full of anecdotes & & observations of his childhood & early life.
A rather mundane task in the end, it must be said, but completed, none the less. I got this as a Christmas present, so the 3.25 pounds I sold it for still means a profit!
