Are folk serious about Bernard Manning?

 

Fuck me is it 1981?

Just because society has changed (and mainly for the worst) doesn't mean it suddenly isn't funny.

 

I do accept it isn't as relevant in today's world of "political correctness overload".

 

You can't tell me that Benny Hill and Dick Emery aren't funny surely?

 

Also used to like Russ Abbott and Freddie Star.

Remember buying Poetic Off-Licence after just picking it up in a bookshop when in London. I was gutted when i found out i'd discovered him too late to see him perform live. Exhausted everything on Youtube, it's all brilliant. Proper talent.

You can tell you live in the land that time forgot pal.

 

You'll get the rave scene in a bit.

The Fosters 'Afternoon Delights' shorts Vic and Bob did almost as a throwaway are funnier that most comedians finest moments. Dr Shakamoto and Mostly Haunted are genius. As are the rock and rollers doing 50's dancing in the precinct and talking about fried chicken.

Absolutely

 

I still piss my sides at that Dr Shakamoto one

 

In fact i am going to watch it again now

Away from "work", Bernard Manning was a proper nice bloke.

Used to enjoy my Thursday afternoon brew with him.

I always thought that It was strange Bernard Manning had such a racist, anti Semitic act when he himself had a piggy little Jewish face. Which I suppose is a racist and anti Semitic thing to say.
