I nearly spat my Tea out when the Bongo's kicked in at the end!
Your next video should have a spaced out Harry Metcalfe, sat in the back, playing the bongos.
planning burning man 2019 whilst wearing a caftan and smoking a blunt,with a rolled up razzle magazine in his hand!!!
Honestly as a petrol head I think it's an independent film makers dream...or Amazon....if i can help in anyway writing it i am up for it!!
I think you found your intro music with the bongos there lads.
I may have imagined your piss-countdown in the style of the Thunderbirds opening...
The bus rarely (if ever) went into Cockeyne Hatley, which is why the little bus shelter is away from the village on the road to Potton & Wrestlingworth. I used to drive a bus out there late at night and nobody ever used to get on or off.
In Cockayne Hatley churchyard there is a memorial to the crew of a Liberator that crashed nearby, I it is shaped like a wing tip or propellor blade.
Next video needs to be Richard driving with Jonny on the Bongo's ... Hectic Busy Chaos 😂
alfa scozia Stunning idea
In a Mazda Bongo
Great Saab spotting guys, as a child I harassed my dad to get a 9000 CSE anniversary 2.3t instead of a Lexus. Best car ever, although the Carlson looked the dogs danglies. Can never buy a green car either, grandmother once read the tea leaves and said she saw a crashed green car. 2hrs later dad turned up with just a steering wheel for his British racing green mgb he had just binned!
This channel is criminally underrated :D
Jason Milner Yes. YES
Yeah, 2 Saab's are never enough. Guaranteed that there is a 99 Turbo in that garage...
Loved it 😂
HORSES!
Thanks Johnny. Since watching this I have been unable to piss without counting in... Not just that, I count in the style of the Manfred Mann and end up do, do doing my way through the song as I piss. So yea, thanks for that.
Love the "Fetch Rich" written on your hand! 😂
Wow, two Saab 9000's !. Ive got a 9000 Aero 2.3T. Tuned to stage 2+ 310BHP. Awesome cars.
There’s this Gloria Estefan ballad that has slow bongos. At least in the intro.
You forgot not crossing on the stairs 😂.
Ps - necessary bongos
I was wondering what I was going to have for breakfast and then you mentioned omelette........thank you
The shoes on a table superstition came out of the old tradition of laying a dead person out on the dining room/kitchen table wearing their Sunday best for people to pay their respects before the funeral, it was the only time there would be shoes on the table (being worn by the corpse) hence putting shoes on the table was inviting death upon the wearer. My mother also says green cars are unlucky too.
You need to see the Bill Bailey skit on the soundtrack to the 70s crime drama. Think it was in the guide to the orchestra he did.
5:50 I have no idea what a "cheeky omelette" is, but it sounds like a stage name for an adult film star.
Or a position.
Interesting trip there lads to Bongo Bongo Land.
Loving the SAAB banter
My home town has a busker who plays the bongos, I kid you not.
Do you live in Truro by any chance? Truro has a Bongo playing busker, who has no discernible rhythm whatsoever.
So apparently, you should never put new
shoes on a table as it is symbolises death of a family member. Many years ago, when a miner passed away, his shoes would be placed on a table and this is often how his family would find out about his death. Due to this, people started to believe that putting shoes on a table was tempting fate. My grandmother was fond(?) of that one, and it took until today for me to know why...
Magpies mate for life, so a sole magpie has lost their mate and is therefore unlucky - that's how I have always heard that one. Saluting them? God knows...
Someone also has a superstition that it is bad luck to watch a Smith & Sniff vid without ensuring at least one dislike - the strangest of them all...
I love this show "Car Brits"
But you was in Gamlingay last week 🤔and the house with the tidy front lawn was my friends when at school they had a swimming pool and the scrambler was how we used to entertain ourselves over in the big smoke of Wrestlingworth next door
Alex West Seriously?!
Not enough flute in popular music. There's loads in the Avengers though.
I absolutely count myself in at the toilet. Sometimes, when I poop I pretend I'm pulling a lever that opens the trap door and drops it.
well I guess the trap door method is similar to my bombs away method .....hehe damn it we are all weirdos lol
I used to enjoy going to the toilet at work and calculating how much I just earned sitting on the works throne, a pound a time, minimum wage was tiny back then (I'm self employed now, paying myself for a crap isn't as much fun)
I'm not superstitious: it brings bad luck.
Never play cards on a Sunday!
hey its Jonny Smiff & Adrian Monk!
Ninja bongo fury, you can't beat it, so to speak. :)
I moved to Cambridgeshire a couple of years ago and the overtakes into oncoming traffic that happens on these roads is not alright! 1:32 Even worse at 1:53 there is oncoming traffic, what are you doing?!
If I see a magpie I always look around for another one because I don't want that bad luck, luckily they are social birds who rarely act alone.
That was a naturally intense, but not hectic, outro.
Needs more bongos
I used to work in gamlingay, in the 90s, I lived in biggleswade for a while, flat so it is, as flat as a flat thing, but flatter.
Logic is the sword that destroys superstition!
But only if you receive the sword from a damp woman emerging from a lake.
Shoe on the table comes from not putting any shoes on the table, in the past if you put your dirty shoes on the table, dirt and bacteria made people unwell. So then someone thought it was unlucky to have shoes on the table, they didn't know it was because of bacteria and germs, they just put it down to luck
My mum does not no new shoes on tables thing.
Amazing banter. Loved it.
I am not superstitious but I am completely with Richard here when it comes to having to get somewhere before something happens or before some time runs out, and similar things, but then I have autism to blame for it. You can definitely train yourself out of most of them though.
HA! The walk under ladders thing to check reactions; Yup! Me too :D.
I do like that strange place. I'd build a house there.
Fascinated by that overtake technique, thinking perhaps it comes from the smaller engines. Can any Brits fill me in?
Which one, and what fascinated you? Helpful brit to the rescue, just want (and possibly need) some context in order to assist
Snowy I’m guessing he meant the one at 1:50 ish where Jonny didn’t cross over the white lines onto the opposite carriageway where there was an oncoming car. As a Brit, I thought it was a little bit odd, too.
@@emmajacobs5575 I wondered if that was the one. Rare that you get roads over here with anywhere near enough width. Am guessing that the other car nestled in to give him the space.
@@Snowy-666 Yes I'm from Australia and wasn't even sure where to start, so different were those couple compared to what I'm used to. Maybe it's unanswerable, just a vibe 🙂 Thanks for being helpful!
@@emmajacobs5575 I agree. I thought it was bad etiquette. He started to pull out to pass the car with another car clearly coming the other direction. For an instant, 3 cars occupied a two lane road at the same space & time! He was lucky the white oncoming car was far enough over (or kindly moved over) to let them pass. I think it was an overly risky move. However, perhaps the Alpine, is very narrow? It looks it. Perhaps you don't even notice it passing its so fast. Just a blur. I wouldn't have passed at that moment.
What can I say, just look at my profile picture :-) . Having said that, the Alpine is pretty pretty!!
0:54 - Jonny can we have words about your UK wildlife knowledge...?!
Chuck Cuthbert I’m a massive wildlife fan. One day I hope to appear on Country File.
@@TheLateBrakeShow this needs to happen
I had all sorts of magpie rituals up until my mid 30s, the one day thought fuck 'em. You are not important to me. It was a couple of weeks later before I realised I wasn't doing any ritualistic nonsense anymore. It can be done.
You wink at a single Magpie, you heathens!
DivideBYZero69 whoever told you that one is having you on
Bongos ...and flutes.
Superstition ain't the way
PARDON?...WHAT?......
Guys, I hate to nag since your videos are great and I will definitely add a nicer comment separately, but the super high pitched screeching sound of the Olfi makes watching this for people with good ears (and speakers) really hard. I don't mind, at all, fixing your sound for you if you want to keep using the same audio setup, but please consider doing something about it. It's torture for some of us :).
Didn't even notice it till I read this comment, now can't unhear it 🙃
@@jameskntt sorry! You can't hear it on most phones and it's definitely outside the reach of many ears, but not all.
Here's a fun one: look up "first air of autumn" by Drive By Truckers...
Funny thing is, it's really noticeable here but other videos where people complain of it I can't hear it.
@@richardharrold9736 it's more obvious in some videos than in others. I think it depends on the viewer's ears whether it can be heard in the less obvious cases.
No video would be complete without someone whinging about sound in some way🙄🙄🙄🙄 just watch the video and get over yourselves or don’t watch it. Simples!
Really gratuitous bongo outro.
