Oh yes I was hoping you would play this! I am absolutely here for a full play through and further anecdotes about how crap the UK was in the 70s
I like how the subtitles translate the English colloquialisms "That middle aisle is a right state" > "That middle aisle is a real mess". The town hall motto is a classic too - 'Fortis in Brachio, Crassus in Capite', which translated to part of that famous Yorkshire saying "Strong in the Arm (and) Thick in the Head".
24:00 - He's selling SMOKED - KIPPERS, Jingles. Come on. Even you should have caught that pun. 😅
We need more of this jingles!
Speaking of smoking in the 70s, I was really sick one time and my grandparents lived in Vancouver Washington and I stayed there while my parents were out. Now my grandparents were German and smoked, I remember laying on the plastic covered couch covered in a smoke smelled blanket smoke hazed room with smoke stained ceiling watching a western on a black and white TV.... I was so miserable...
It's made by people from Barnsley, so Barnsworth is Barnsley. If you look at the town as the bus drives in, you'll see Barnsley Town Hall on it. The bins, the bus stops, they're all the same. Brilliant game
At the risk of repeating myself...I bloody love a Jingles Sunday bonus video, the more idiosyncratic the better!
Jingles spends so much time laughing that he's missing a bunch of other sight gags in every scene.
Bloody hell your career choices make so much sense now. I'd have joined the Navy too to get away from that even if it meant the risk of the Russians lobbing a nuclear torpedo my way.
Omg, please more, this was amazing.
27:40 I hate to correct you, but we did grill toast not so long ago on a festival. A whole loaf even. But as a festival guide pointed out to us, we perhaps should have removed the plastic packaging first....
I really enjoy seeing jingles go on nostalgic rants hope to see more of it it’s like a grandpa I never had lol
11:34 "Mums got me back on the mercury again!" My grandfather passed away a few months ago. While we were going through his house and cleaning, we found a tincture bottle: "Mercurochrome" - an antiseptic, Merobromin, was marketed as Mercurochrome, and this particular version of the medicine contained mercury. It has not been legally sold in the US since 1998. It was also banned in Brazil, Germany, and France - but is still sold in most other countries.
Hearing the laughs from you on this is a treat.
I thought I’m gonna skip this video, but the commentary is just gold. Gave me insights on how 80s England was like.
I'd say Billy Connolly the most internationally famous role was Il Duce from The Boondock Saints since it's a cult classic movie. He also plays a minor role (sergant) in The Last Samurai but he has there only few minutes of screen time.
The loading screen looks like it might have been Yorkshire. I saw a Reliant Robin on the extreme left, almost out of shot.
Not only do we get to watch Jingles play a game, we get a history lesson in 1970s England.
Man, you really were ahead of time in the north of England. Solitaire, on a computer? In colour! Well, you could get the Apple II with a really, really expensive gfx card in 1977 and Atari released their 800 in 1979. Maybe there were some colour workstations available, so I guess it would be possible. However, Solitaire were not released on a computer until 1990 with Windows 3.0. Anway, being slightly older than Jin gles we saw a fair share of weird British TV programmes back in the 70s.
