When I was a teenager the family stayed in a hotel in Newquay one summer, right next door to a club. And all I can say is at 11pm every night we heard Bernard Manning sing sodding 'Blue Spanish Eyes'. Didn't make me laugh! :lol:

He was a very funny and witty bloke however he was a bigoted racist which overshadowed his act. If he had removed all the race and xenophobia stuff from his act he would have been spoken off with similar fondness to someone like Les Dawson.

As much as I'd like to agree with this, he was such a tosser, I can't even think he'd be as highly regarded as Les Dawson.
That said, there's a lot of the older generation who think he's funny.
Especially round here (Manchester)

I however, think he's a kernt.

Very funny bloke, there was a time and a place for his humour and it has passed

He was funny. Whether it was the timing, the look on his face, the jokes he just amde me laugh.

Chubby Brown on the other hand is just abysmal. ie he doesn't make me laugh.

Maybe I don't see the world as it is but I didn't see Bernard as a nasty racist man even though the evidence appears to be the contary.

My mate's wife was from near the Embassy club and used to go to Bernard Manning's Roller Disco which would have been a great name for a band or a HMHB song.

Shame that time and place ever existed, but I totally agree that it's passed

You are a fanny though
 
Two old maids on a beach, streaker ran past, one had a stroke, the other one couldn't reach.

'Seriously folks, I didn't mean that. My grandfather died at Auschwitz' - crowd goes quite - 'very sad. He fell out of the machine gun tower'.

Man says to his wife: 'Pack your bags, I've won the Lottery.' She says: 'What should I pack? Something light, something warm? Where are we going?' He says: 'We're going nowhere. Just pack your bags and fuck off.

There's two fellas running down the road "help! help! a lions escaped"
A passerby said "which way did it go?"
One of the fellas says "you stupid ****, you don't think we're fuckin chasing it do ya????"

"I see they've found Donald Campbell's body - it came out of a tap in Huddersfield!"

Racist? Bigoted? Unpleasant? No, just a keen and very funny observer of human life.
 
Strange how the two most blue & racist comedians British ever produced are staunch Catholics

Chubby Brown & Bernard manning :lol:
