101 Challenges:

Location: Bali - Indonesia

Details: When we see a single person that seems sad or lonely we'll dedicate 24 hours to becoming that person's best friend and soul mate! We'll eat with them, dance with them, walk, talk and dine with them... sharing the moonlight together and enjoying the sunrise as one (or three)

Outcome: Oh my goodness gracious us, what a disaster. We thought we were being clever by inviting the loneliest person in the world out to join us and be made to feel loved. We also decided to do this for a few weeks and not just a day. Instead he went home in tears and plaster.

Rather than search all over Asia for a lonely person which we had not came across yet we diced to invite our littlest brother Lyle over from Scotland.

He jumped on a plane and landed a few days later in Bali and us being great brothers were there to meet him with a loving sign.

The first few days started well as we gave him party after party night. It was during one of these party nights that Lyle's ego was to soar to great heights. He was party animal number one, the main man of the Bali clubbing scene or so he thought. His belief was based on how many ladies were at his side, laughing at his every joke and telling him how handsome he was. We are sure at one point he did even shout “who's the Man, I said who's the effin man?”.

We could not let his ego get any bigger and decided to tell him he was in fact surrounded by ladies of the night. He said “What? Vampires?” After we explained, Lyle's ego took a nosedive and he backed off, informing his party “you’ll nae get money outta me hen”. 

We knew we had to give this boy a good time and so decided to take him surfing. He hated it from the word go but we told him to persevere. He did, although he wished he didn’t. On about day 4 of surfing Lee smashed right into him when both tried to catch the same wave. Lee being older and wiser bailed (yeah we know surfer terms dude) just before the collision and Lyle did not. This resulted in two broken fingers and Lyle not feeling loved at all.

This unloving feeling would only grow on the subsequent visit to the hospital. As in all hospitals you have to wait to be seen. After we (Lee and Lindsay - Lyle wasn't in the mood to partake) had weighed ourselves, tested our eye sight using the eye chart and tasted all the coffees in the free coffee machine, we got bored; we were so bored that despite our concerns for our littlest brother we decided to leave him there and go for a pint. We think this is where the Loving You challenge may have technically failed.

Despite his broken fingers and being told he would be in plaster for 6 weeks Lyle still tried to enjoy himself. He was even game enough to climb a volcano with his arm in plaster and wearing flip flops, that boy has a death wish.
