Escape from Bridgend
Bridgend - a nightmare as ever. Wet, barren, and full of traffic lights and roadworks - this is not a big town, but it just doesn't want to let you out, even in the night when there's no-one about.

999 calls
Переглядів 96 тис.17 років тому
Recently, a British police force, in an effort to stem the rediculous flow of pathetic non-emergency calls to the 999 service (much like America's 911, or Europes 112), released a selection of some of the calls people have made. These are those calls. It would appear that there are some pretty stupid and mindless people out there... every needless call to the emergency services could be costing...
Jasper Carrot Bantam Cock

Performed during his "Beat the Carrott" show, this is Jasper Carrot's cover of Jake Thackray's "Bantam Cock". "He was a grand upstanding bantam cock So brisk and stiff and spry With springy step and jaunty plume And a purposeful look in his eye In his little black blinking eye I took him to the coop and I introduced him To my seventeen wide-eyed hens He tupped and he tupped as a hero should And...
Good old gaspa carrot. 😅😊😊
Anyone who has kept Bantams knows this is not too far from the truth.
3:00 He gave me a wink and a terrible grin, the way that rapists do. 😆🤣😆
Keneficks, Kenefeakes etc, in Ireland surname supposed to come from here, a long, long time ago.
I literally had no idea Jasper Carrot played guitar.
Hahaha! I've never heard this one from Jasper. Brilliant 8-))...
I always loved Jasper Carrot. 😆. I loved his story about being in Hong Kong.... 😆
Wikki wikki
I do tent to change the line to "As perverts do...". Not sure even that's ok anymore.
Carrot makes this song come to life, I watched the Jake Thackary version, because I prefer origionsls, but Jasper really did make this his own.
It’s the body language that makes it so funny!
Quite a few comics started off in folk clubs. Jasper Carrott and Billy Connolly to name just two
Now you've got UA-cam you can simply watch Jake Thackray
Omg, I'd forgotten how hysterical this is.
I've just been looking & Listening to Jake Thakaray, I have to admit, Jasper Carrot can sing a lot better than Jake!
I myself never Considered Jake Thakaray to be a Singer, but, to be fair to him, he got away with it!
Thank you Jasper, just spent the last few hours listening to Jake Thackray music on You tube, a fellow Tyke i had not heard of, mind the 80s were spent supping Whitbreads and listening to Fred Wedlock
I love this song. It's on the Carrott In Notts LP that also includes Bastity Chelt and Hava Nagila. A classic album. One of his best I would say.
He's actually a great guitarist.
Excellent, always loved this song.
Carrot introduced me to Thackray. For many years only one of the two has been a mainstay of my listening. Not that Jasper will mind.
2020. Here for laughs.
Killed it :(
Such a funny man, he can make me laugh anytime. Love him xx
Just for a laught, I watched this video
An absolutely GHASTLY parody of Thackray. Carrott should be ashamed (and tupped repeatedly).
This is definitely not a song I would have expected jasper Carrot to cover.
"Little black BLINKING eye" not laughing eye...
As an american hearing 999 is weird. but i guess it's probably just as weird in the UK hearing 911.
Jasper what can I say. Your such a FUNNY SOD!!! I loved watching him all those years ago in the 70's & he's NOT LOST IT after all these years ( calmed well down since been on Golden Balls which is a load of rubbish anyway) But, at his age he has to aswell as been on daytime TV. THANK GOODNESS FOR UA-cam! 😂😁😁😁😂👍👍👍👍👍.
PISH!
I might dial 999 to see if they know where my remote control is
Brummies are the best
Heard him do this on Carrott in Notts, best version that appears to be unattainable x
+Steven Prestidge Me too! And remember - 'What's 'e TEEM???'?
I've got that album as well.
I have that album as well. Who could forget The Bantam Cock. Absolute genius.
This rambling version is an insult to Jake Thackray but goes a long way to explain what made Jake Thackray so special.
true, agree.
With all due respect to Jake Thackray, I have to say Jasper Carrot's version is better because the criteria of how to make a judgment with a song like this, is the comical effect. A bit like how some jokes are funnier than others by the way you tell them.
I don’t think this version is bad. It’s treating the song as a complete joke as opposed to Thackray’s elegant, humorous, poetic chanson. I enjoyed watching this as a “what if Thackray was just a musical comedian” alternative universe but I do wish to go and listen to the original , superior now. No hate to this carrot dude tho.
John Hyland that’s where I disagree John, we shouldn’t be judging on comic effect. If so then yes Carrot sure. But no. Thackray wrote chansons. Some of which happened to be funny but they were first and foremost beautiful, often rural, exquisitely constructed chansons. The delivery by carrot really breaks the rhythm for me. What I love about Thackray’s delivery is it’s very matter of fact, the humorous bits (if any in the chanson) come out of nowhere, and it’s whole-heartedly sincere (not to mention his unique guitar playing). He was ever so charming, likeable, and talented beyond belief. I’d really recommend checking out his work as a whole.
It's probably unfair to compare the two - and Carrot does well enough to be sure. But for myself I prefer Jake's version: wry, tender, humane, angry, self-deprecating. Jasper Carrot is a funny man, but Jake Thackray was a poet.
I have to say, this is better than the original, but it is also better than the crap we have been spoon fed from The X-Factor!
This guy looks like he could be an older brother of poker author Puggy Neutron.
I feel sorry for the old women as she may have an illness but the rest of them are complete idiots and need a charging as someone could be dying and they are stopping them getting through.
There you have it: The world is NEVER short of idiots!
nice to see Huntington in there
How stupid r these people
The elderly lady is obviously suffering from dementia or something similar, stop being nasty people!
care in the community
I had to phone 999 after my Hamster spontaniously combusted last week...they rebuked me severley, threw the phone down on me and blocked my number....sadly my Hamster combusted on the forecourt of a petrol station which completely gutted the station, a main road interjunction, 28 houses, closed the motorway for three hours and stopped hi speed trains on the london to Leeds line for three days.....Poor Hammy!!!!!
OK I kinda like Jasper Carrot again now after that horrible sitcom he did. His Jake impression is pretty good!
I accidentally dialed 999 from my mobile phone last night. So I set my house on fire so I wouldn't look stupid.
nice bantam cock, is pretty good
Love this song. As much as I love Jake Thackray, Carrot does bring this song to the masses, and does it well. RIP Jake.
I think it’s in the facial expression/movement… as well as inflection etc
I wonder if jake got to see jaspers performance
Think that lady has some sort of dementia or anxiety related condition bless her. She sounds very agitated / fretful but unsure herself about why or what she’s trying to do. :(
Time Team recently did a dig and found traces of the medieval village, the cobbled street. Was amazing to watch the programme!!
ceri barnes Z
I hope she got to the to him
Yes; it would serve him right!
I was in the ambulance service and we got called out for cut fingers, headaches, back ache and once because her cat looked a bit poorly!
