Just stumbled on your reactions and you two are such an energetic couple with a fresh outlook, good to see the UK making people outside of country laugh so much. Micky Flanagan is such fun, and has a great way of telling his stories. If you are ever looking for a female UK comedian to react too, Sarah Millican can always make me laugh.

This couple are simply fantastic, they are not afraid to offend those "righteous" people who think that they are "The guardians of Free Speech" and think that they are omnipotent. They accept things for what they are. Not only that, but they laugh at how ridiculous some of this "Free Speech" is. Their postings on You Tube are a source of merriement to we who want a bit of a laugh about just how ridiculous all this PC nonsense has become. I hope that they never change, and keep that fabulous sense of humour that they have.

I did the Freddie Laker Skytrain to San Francisco what a trip. Coming back there were only about 20 of us. So the cabin staff said we have to get through all this wine. I fell off the plane.

It makes me laugh when I see how funny you are finding Micky Flannigan, just like when I first heard these stand up gigs when he first did them, It’s great that you see this is a British trait to have fun sometimes it’s quite cruel but observations of what other people say or do that can be hilarious and bonds us as people when we don’t take ourselves too seriously you both are becoming honourary Brits.

Micky uses a lot of 'cockney rhyming' slang which unless you are familiar with it, it can be confusing. He said the word Barnet when he was talking about the mans hair (Barnet fair = hair) and he also said syrup (syrup of figs = wig). It was a way victorian criminals communicated so the police couldn't understand them. I love the way you are starting to learn all the English phrases and the way we say them 😁
@busking62927 ай бұрын
What must be REALLY confusing is when you have rhyming slang for rhyming slang,this stuff can't be taught, e.g--arse='bottle and glarse'(yes,I know) shortened to 'bottle'='aristotle' shortened to 'aris' which is strangely similar to 'arse',the misspelling or distorting words to suit the rhyme is all part of the fun and some of it is really funny,there are a few sketches on YT with the 2 Ronnies and Smith &Jones that highlight it and in one case make it incomprehensible even to most 'cockneys'.

Some of the words he used are very tricky for non-British people to understand. He was using Cockney rhyming slang; for 'wig' he used 'syrup' (which rhymes with Syrup of Figs, a British laxative) and 'barnet' for hair (Barnet Fair, a horse-fair that was held in a place in London called Barnet). He also used 'nut' for head, which is not rhyming slang but is commonly used in the East End of London. I once heard a Londoner say "Who left that Richard in the loo?" ('turd' rhyming with King Richard The Third).

Barnet and Syrup are what we call cockney rhyming slang. Words that rhyme with another word and are used as a substitute. For example, Barnet Fair = Hair. Syrup of Fig = Wig. So when he says "you lot are going collude in the fact, I've still got a Barnet" he means I've still got hair. "Also when he says "have a look at the Geezer's wig, have a look at the syrup".

How to know you are with friends in the UK is to not be offended by being insulted and having the skill to drop an insult in return. Often leading to a tennis match of insults until someone trips over their words and loses the insult match, followed by a loud Aaaaagh as a winning insult to prove insult superiority.
