Servicing A Minor Benny Hill Style

Post by pgp001 »

Stumbled across an old clip earlier this evening
Watch from 2min 20secs

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ILhVI7zUAE

The car is showing as being taxed and MOT'd still as well, wonder where it is now.

What's worrying it I used to have one of those radios the young woman is carrying.... all the rage, multi-band including aircraft communication bands if I recall correctly.

there's a few things
......only a few? There's enough in there for someone to create a 4 year degree course on Political Correctness around it.....assuming that person didn't explode first :D

Brought back some good memories, did that. A good find.

Indeed, bring back Benny Hill and Dick Emery and real humour! :D
Stuff Political Correctness and all those who try to force it down our throats where the sun don't shine!
All people need to be is polite and not racist (and not to play the racist / homophibic card every time someone says something they don't like), all this PC cr*p is just added on rubbish, putting it politely, that has had the knock on effect of killing real humour / comedy, which usually did involve a bit of rib pulling and micky taking.......
Best wishes,
Mike.

Have you not heard the latest story of snowflakery.
All the tabloid press and the other outlets that just copy n'paste (steal) the story are running with Ofcom Complaints about ITV Drama 'Des'.

it seems that with 5.9 million viewers, this drama about a 1980s serial killer featured chain smoking and dead people being discussed. This attracted 7, yes, SEVEN complaints, so the tabloids are all covering it!

Best yet for the easily offended...........My wife has just pointed out something she's read in the paper. Apparently some female Australian professor wants to re-name the 'masculine' sounding 'Adam's Apple' an 'Achilles' Heel' so that the terms can apply equally to both/all sexes.

Definitely, one for 'You couldn't make it up' folder. :D

Most women don’t have an Adam’s Apple anyway :D
No differences of opinion about Benny and co as far as Minor owners are concerned then👍.

I don't think you could get more masculine than Achilles ?
