Haha! You know me well Josh! So glad I have been doing good lately! Except when it comes to Monty Python sketches... for some reason I always pick short ones 😅

Mandy Cane Lane
2024-08-30 04:32:55 +0000 UTCI think I did pretty well 😎
Mandy Cane Lane
2024-08-30 04:30:11 +0000 UTCI have come so far! I too was once a wee lass that struggled with the Bolton accent, but with hard work and dedication... any dialect is understandable! 🙌🏻
Mandy Cane Lane
2024-08-30 04:23:50 +0000 UTCHaha! Glad this is a fun choice! 🤗🤗🤗
Mandy Cane Lane
2024-08-30 04:18:47 +0000 UTCSee? That is why I didn't get it... I thought it was just about shoes.... Like if I order a blue shirt and recieve a pink one, I am gonna be pissed. Thank you for informing me Mr 44
Mandy Cane Lane
2024-08-30 04:17:57 +0000 UTCAwww!!!! 💙💙💙 Thank you! So glad this turned out to be a good choice!
Mandy Cane Lane
2024-08-30 04:16:15 +0000 UTCI know absolutely nothing about Taylor Swift's love life or any other aspects, but I am glad you approve the show!
Mandy Cane Lane
2024-08-30 04:15:23 +0000 UTCOh snap! Did not catch on with the name. thank you!
Mandy Cane Lane
2024-08-30 04:12:03 +0000 UTCOh! 🤣
Mandy Cane Lane
2024-08-30 04:10:29 +0000 UTCVery odd! And LOL! Why was he speaking so close to Peter?? xD
Mandy Cane Lane
2024-08-30 04:08:58 +0000 UTCI understood everything I think!! I am growing! 🥳
Mandy Cane Lane
2024-08-30 04:06:18 +0000 UTCYay, I have been doing things right! 🥳🥳
Mandy Cane Lane
2024-08-30 04:05:53 +0000 UTCHahaha! Well, I do what I can! At least the accent are no issue, could you imagine? 🤣
Mandy Cane Lane
2024-08-30 02:38:35 +0000 UTCLol, in Argy stealing power from lamposts or neighbors happens ALL THE TIME! And yes, I have heard this about the Argentinian accent, but that is when they speak Spanish I think. They actually sound rather silly when they speak English. Not very sexy 🤣🤣
Mandy Cane Lane
2024-08-30 02:25:10 +0000 UTCI had to google him to know who we were talking about. Only his face sticks in my mind for some reason. Haha! It is funny how fame come about sometimes. I will pay more attention to his performances!
Mandy Cane Lane
2024-08-30 02:21:58 +0000 UTCPatreon' chat interaction is the best is it? Ray Von is Neil Fitzmaurice and his claim to fame is that he co-wrote Phoenix Nights with Peter Kay. He may have been In The Peep Show (never watched/liked it back in the day), but he was also in an episode of The Office where he is the guy getting interviewed by David Brent for the job in the Warehouse and Brent along with Gareth are intrigued into why he knows so much about dwarfs.... Pheonix Nights came before The Office and The Peep Show, so, this was his claim to fame to to speak and he got work off the back of this. He's actually one of the best actors in the show imho.

2024-08-28 21:49:01 +0000 UTCThank Allah* for that! I thought I had been banned for life when the notification email didn't come through at 14:00 (or 2 PM as an American would say). Unless, maybe we are both banned for life? Is that possible? What have you done recently that would warrant that? If anyone else can't see Taskmaster, please reply here so that we can get some idea of how many people have been banned for life. *PBUH

2024-08-27 13:39:05 +0000 UTCNo taskmaster Tuesday?
Joshyboiiiiii
2024-08-27 13:01:19 +0000 UTCIt amazes me how true to life a lot of this stuff is. 🤣. Ubiquitous working mens clubs. 🤣 The clientele as old as the plaster. The proverbial ineptitude when it comes to music (especially for northerners like me! 🤗) using the ever-recycled tunes from the 1960s-80s in our thick accents which, btw, you did very well to understand Mandy 🤗. Speaking of: apparently Argentinian regularly gets voted one of the "sexiest" accents in the world so I'm still eager to hear you have a go. 😎🤪 Spot on as well with the gypsy wiring up lampposts for power, seen that happen loads especially in Castleford. Hahaha. Happy bank holiday Monday!

2024-08-26 14:57:19 +0000 UTCits so mandy that you'd have no trouble with the accents but when you do miss a thing or two its just because you're zoned out LMAO 2 great series starting at the same time thanks yo

2024-08-25 22:56:53 +0000 UTCI'm so glad you're watching this. I'll be honest even though they're years apart, watching Car Share first will help you a lot with the accents and the humour x

2024-08-25 22:03:18 +0000 UTCHey Mandy! The plastic boy he was rubbing was a donation box for the spastic society (Not a pc term anymore). They used to be everywhere in the UK. This video just reminded me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2Q4l0z0VMw 🤣🤣

2024-08-25 22:02:32 +0000 UTCThe show starts off slow but does get funnier, and yes Peter plays mutiple characters, he almost always used to play multiple characters.

2024-08-25 21:51:24 +0000 UTC16:55 that is Peter Kay's nan on the right

2024-08-25 21:46:45 +0000 UTCInteresting choice. It’s never been one of my favourites, but I respect its popularity. I’m impressed with how many things you picked up on. It’s a shame someone spoiled that scene you talked about at the start, it’s much funnier if it’s unexpected. Did you understand why it was called the Phoenix Club? His last club burned down. Phoenix rising from the ashes etc.

2024-08-25 18:27:17 +0000 UTCLegend is a bit of a stretch lol, he’s just another annoying TV presenter.
Julian T
2024-08-25 17:23:00 +0000 UTCIsn't that just one of those things that people write in comment sections? It's not actually true, is it?
Jeffrey44
2024-08-25 16:47:45 +0000 UTCOh Mandy, a very important thing to know about this show. Most of the audience in the club are not in on the joke. They have no idea a sitcom is being filmed. Their reactions are genuine. Also, most of the episodes feature an act being auditioned, during the credits. Those acts are also real local acts.
Tony Mingoia
2024-08-25 16:14:00 +0000 UTCSo its a real place?
Carl-Fredrik L
2024-08-25 15:57:55 +0000 UTCPaddy in the show is played by Paddy McGuinness, who's a UK TV Legend at this point, being in various Peter Kay shows, hosting reality and competition shows and being a host on Top Gear for a few years after Clarkson, Hammond and May left.
SquaredSpekz
2024-08-25 15:43:06 +0000 UTCThis is fun! The singer in the folk band is a respected British actor. He's the father of 'bad boy' Matty Healy who has dated Taylor Swift a few times.
John George
2024-08-25 15:34:45 +0000 UTCYay Mandy! Another great choice. Most of the humour is very British in this one, a lot of it specifically a Northern English brand of humour, and sometimes even specifically Bolton humour. But you're experienced enough by now that I'm sure you'll pick up on it. It's a kind of humorous, self-deprecating (which is a very Bolton thing) love-letter to Northern "working men's clubs", and it's Peter Kay's finest work in my opinion. So happy you're doing this. You're brightening our lives Mandy. I honestly can't imagine the world without you. 🤗
Tony Mingoia
2024-08-25 15:28:06 +0000 UTCThe song was about the gentleman (actor Tim Healy) receiving Holy Communion shoes that his Father had worked hard to pay for. To his and his Father's surprise, when the shoes arrived, they were black instead of white as he had asked for. In the song, we heard how his Father blew a bloody fuse and they decided, quite rightly, to send them back. Although this song could be seen as being about shoes, it could also be seen as being about immigrants, which also come in black and white varieties.

2024-08-25 15:19:39 +0000 UTCI remember a certain song about the Falklands, but I shan't share it as it could offend. Do you remember it?

2024-08-25 14:47:43 +0000 UTCGreat show! Another fun few weeks ahead with our queen of the ‘lovely humans of Earth!’ 😂
Roger Hurst
2024-08-25 14:41:05 +0000 UTCDid you spot the bit where the two bouncers were debating which of them would climb the ladder? Paddy suggested it should be Max (Kay) but Max said he will not climb the ladder. When Paddy asked him why, Max replied "Two words... Falklands" He was implying that he fought and was injured in the 1982 Falklands War. This is amusing because, if we assume Max is a similar age to Peter Kay, he would have been about 9 during the Falklands War. Also, Falklands is one word. Don't mention the war! Sorry that people keep mentioning the war, first in Peep Show and now this. You did start it though.
Jeffrey44
2024-08-25 14:38:03 +0000 UTCAlso, I have watched Peep Show (2003) and Phoenix Nights (2001) both multiple times. It was only two months ago that I realized Ray Von was Jeff. It took you about two seconds.🤣

2024-08-25 14:34:49 +0000 UTCMy first job when I was 16 was a glass collector at the local social club ‘The Legion’ and it was pretty much the same as the Phoenix Club 😂
Jonathan Davies
2024-08-25 14:19:39 +0000 UTCWe’re all proud of Mandy’s ability to understand the Bolton accent! There’s large parts of the rest of the UK that struggle more than Mandy is with thick northern accents 😂 and YES Ray Von is the guy from peep show who tries to steal Sophie from Mark great spot! 💪
Jonathan Davies
2024-08-25 14:17:17 +0000 UTCI used to walk my dog past the Phoenix club when I lived in Farnworth. My mum also knew Dave Spikey when she was a Nurse at Bolton Hospital, he worked in the blood lab.
Stuart
2024-08-25 14:01:24 +0000 UTCOhhh ive been wanting to watch this myself for ages but never got around to it, can't wait to see you struggling to understand the accents and the slang
Remi
2024-08-25 13:24:20 +0000 UTCIt put him on the map with a pin planted in Bolton, England. This is a show for Northern English men only, it's not suitable for American women living in Argentina.
Jeffrey44
2024-08-25 13:15:40 +0000 UTCYea Mandy! I’m going to believe my constantly bringing up Phoenix nights has made you chose this 😂 you won’t be disappointed 🙏 this show is what put Peter Kay on the map
Jonathan Davies
2024-08-25 13:07:51 +0000 UTCYeah too late oh well 😂
Joshyboiiiiii
2024-08-25 13:03:31 +0000 UTCBrilliant! Thank Youuuu! 🤗 There are still hundreds of these social clubs, traditional "working men's clubs", all over the country being ran exactly like this by members of the local community. It's more accurate than you might think. 😆 Another excellent choice.
Muggins
2024-08-25 13:03:00 +0000 UTCBrilliant I love this show. This will be fun

2024-08-25 13:00:58 +0000 UTCNo way, I did not expect this!!🤣🤗 This is a brilliant show that just gets better and better as it goes on. I am so happy you are doing this you have no idea.😊 The club itself is a real club https://iili.io/dX8b6PV.jpg I will leave you with this: The Proclaimers - I'm Gonna Be 500 Miles - Feat Brian Potter and Andy Pipkin - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-5uWXoThP8 Thank you, Mandy. 🤗🤗
