Long Way Down – 1 – 5


Long Way Down is a television series, book and DVD documenting a motorcycle journey undertaken by Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman, on which they rode south through 18 countries from John o’ Groats in Scotland to Cape Agulhas in South Africa via Europe and Africa in 2007. It is a follow-up to the Long Way Round trip of 2004, when the pair rode east from London to New York via Eurasia and North America.

    @CommonRaven here here - its true

    Why is bomb such a “drop-everything-and-go-batshit” word in airports? Do you not think that terrorists planning on blowing up an airport or plane would have the sense to use a code word so as to not have to actually say the word “bomb”?

  5. CommonRaven says:

    Fuck airports.  They get to hold you hostage when they know damn good and well you aren’t a threat, some cunt just wanted to throw her fat ass weight around after being a bitch and not getting cowtowed to.

    Worthless fucking shitheads, the lot of them. They don’t keep us safe, WE keep us safe.

    I really appreciate the relationship that Ewan has with his mum and dad. They seem like great parents.

    @scatcat1994 Ewen’s bro is a ex RAF tornado pilot. And probably alot fitter than you.

    At 7:54 I thought that Ewan had eaten had a few too many sausages but then I realised it was just his fat brother.

  17. ItsyBitsyChelly says:

    Don’t you all just love Charlie’s wife? I mean, compared to SOME. She is so sweet and understanding.

  18. Wolesus says:

    what the song 5:10 ?
    tell me plz !

  19. edmedmoped says:

    Claudio is a player.

  20. arsch89 says:

    Whats the song from 6:10 to 6:45 ???

  21. EMEJTIAJ says:

    What’s the song name in 8:25 when they leave Evan’s home?

  22. bsmithhammer says:

    I guess it has entertainment value, but good god, could they have made this trip any more logistically-complicated or gear-intensive? Much of the ‘drama’ involved in this series results from the ridiculous amount of stuff and staff that were involved in this (and the Ewan’s wife is just ridiculous….). Believe it or not, people have ridden motorcycles around the world without anywhere near this amount of unnecessary junk, and without an entire team of help and support vehicles.
