3:01 😂😂😂😂😂 'I'll be honest with you it's difficult to concentrate because that's possibly the most handsome thing I've ever seen... Absolute madness; it's like a Ken doll is literally walking by the barge.'
This reminds me of a barge holiday where we managed to lose our deposit by burning a hole in the gang plank because my uncle decided to try and balance the BBQ on top of it. Utterly brilliant.
I remember flicking through cable channels late one night and came across and programme that was literally just a camera mounted onto the front of a barge as it went along a canal... for about two hours. In real time. Needless to say I recorded it although I ended up watching it in fast forward which made it slightly more exciting.
My mum is a back seat driver who moans, yet is the only one in the family with points on her license. Anyway, we were on a boat one week (Norfolk Broads holiday) and my mum was in control of the boat and got pulled over by a little police boat for going too fast on the water. We bloody love bringing that up. Shes been bollocked for speed on both road and river
My mom is a bad driver. We just didn't know it till we took drivers ed. Once we learned how to drive, being in the car with her got real scary. The ironic bit, she's always scared the car is going to crash when she's not the one behind the wheel. She was driving us to the store one time when she ran a red light to make a right turn. Me: why didn't you stop? Mom: what? It's not like the light was red. Me: it was red. It had been red for a while. Mom: well, it's not like there were any other cars. Me: there was another car! They had to slam their breaks to not hit us! They had a green light. Mom: oh, well, I guess I didn't see them That car was the oncoming traffic that was well into a left turn when she cut them off. Also, this is in the U.S., a left turn will cut across traffic, so they take longer and are very visible. Edit: she did get a ticket once, but it left all of us scratching our heads. The ticket was for going 2 miles over the limit. This is an area where the cops don't give a dam as long as you don't go more than 5 miles over the limit. This is an area where most cops will give you a warning if you nearly hit a pedestrian. This is an area where most cops will give you a warning if you drive down the wrong direction, at night, without turning on your head lights. Pretty much the only this that will get you a ticket in this area, is if you nearly hit a cop car. I read the police bulletin, is has a list of every warning and citation that the local police gives out. Every know and then, my home town hires a cop with a real stick up their ass; they don't normally last long.
As someone who's been lucky enough to grow up in a family with a share in a canal boat (we're part of a syndicate), I was absolutely dying over the lock drama. Also, people are always so friendly and willing to help each other out on the canals. I'll always remember that a few years ago we awoke one morning after we'd moored up in the middle of nowhere and the guy moored next to us who we didn't even know said he was heading to the shops several miles away in the nearest town and offered to get us anything we needed
"Trying to get friends to come narrowboating" *_Story of my fucking like, mate_* Regardless of our ages, me and mine will always love doing things in groups, loudly and slightly tipsy. Got a few regulars but I don't go as much as I like. If you ever want to try it, call Shire Cruisers in Sowerby Bridge (Calder Valley) You cross the Pennines, so it's literally mountain climbing in a boat. One week, a 100 locks. Dunno who this Josh Bloke is but he's welcome to join us.
It’s the laziest holiday imaginable, you go through lovely countryside with lots of wildlife, slow enough that you can appreciate the scenery and you can do it permanently drunk, there is nobody to nick you for drunk barging. You are also never more than 10 feet from a cup of coffee or a bacon sandwich because you carry a kitchen with you. There are also loads of nice pubs alongside canals. Best to have young teenage kids because you can get them to work the locks!🤣
It's not a barge, and it's not "barging". It's a bloody narrowboat! Canal people hate it when you call them barges. 2:00 my daughter was conceived on a narrowboat ;-)
It's quite fun and it was clearly a lovely day on the Regent Canal. Josh and Russell are very funny men in their own right, but why have broadcast/production companies decided this activity is called; "Barging"? They aren't on a 'dumb' (unpowered, uncontrolled ) empty vessel for carrying bulk cargo's or objects. They are on a 'Narrowboat' which, almost by definition, has an engine, a galley (kitchen) lounge area and bedrooms. Those people who spend any time in their lives enjoying such machines, NEVER refer to them as a barge or to the activity as; 'Barging'. It's a bit like referring to the activity of walking your dog, as 'dogging.'
A lot of sex offenders buy narrow boats. By law if they remain in a location for more than a week they must register their location. With narrow boats they can keep moving every week to avoid having to register their presence.
@@yul4206 given I was on the Canals while your parents where still in nappies, I can assure on UK Canals "barges" do not have engines - this from IRCM boat insurers - "there are vessels being used on the system (particularly classic and restored craft) that may appear to be narrowboats but, because they have no engine, need to be towed or remain static. We can apply the term “barge” or “dumb barge” to such vessels." - anything know as a barge but not on a canal has a bean too wide for the vast majority of the UK network....see how dangerous your little knowledge is?
@@paulfranklin8636 am 31 so yeah OK you don't have to be a dick about it. Why would anyone want to Learn from a dick like yourselve. They are barges out there with engines so you can't say all barges don't have them.
@@paulfranklin8636 look I can copy and paste to barge is a shoal-draft flat-bottomed boat,[1][2] built mainly for river and canal transport of bulk goods. Originally barges were towed by draft horses on an adjacent towpath. Today, barges may be self-propelled, usually with a slow-revving diesel engine and a large-diameter fixed-pitch propeller. Otherwise, "dumb barges" must be towed by tugs, or pushed by pusher boats. Compared to a towed barge, a pusher system has improved handling and is more efficient, as the pushing tug becomes "part of the unit" and it contributes to the momentum of the whole
@@yul4206 look dickhead...I fucking worked boats...you smooth brained cretin! I know fucking boats, and I know what boats are called on the UK network...now c&p what the fuck you like but do me a favour and fuck off....once you get there fuck off some more and keeping going
Josh thinks that people see him as alpha? lol sorry, but that’s hilarious. It’s great that he has confidence but that’s treading into narcissistic territory.
Russell Howard, Josh Widdicombe and James Acaster star in: 3 Men On A Barge.
It’s a series I would 100% watch! 🚣♀️
Put Jon Richardson on there too to keep it clean
Yes please
Bring james acaster fit comedian girlfriend and leave james acaster behind
@@philipmarlowe4682 she dumped him for Mr Bean. Its either the Teddy bear n mini or Owan Atkinson has something more than him.
@@MrAlex173 yes
Josh and Russell should be action heroes.
"Oh no the rope! the rope!-"
*runs over* "It's all good it's all good.
*round of applause*
I love how they're both in seriously committed relationships but both got distracted by an attractive man
I mean, they are only human. And that man was a spectacle to behold
SierRawrMaria it’s go bromance
Game recognizes game.
I love how pure the old couple giving them the applause feels
3:01 😂😂😂😂😂
'I'll be honest with you it's difficult to concentrate because that's possibly the most handsome thing I've ever seen... Absolute madness; it's like a Ken doll is literally walking by the barge.'
1:17 Love Russell's laugh. & giggle
Just when you think Josh can’t get more adorable than he already is, you see him steering a barge. 🤗😎🤗
2:25 I like how people are just casually taking pictures of them.

Was this a surreal episode of Dr Who with all the faceless people hanging around canals?

Timothy West and his wife?
No there was literally nobody on camera, just the view from the front of the boat as it went down the river.
It must have been a series. My grandparents had something similar on at Christmas, but it was a train up in the Highlands.

Have you been boating under the influence? Sorry ma'am I'm going to have to breathalyse you.
Do not let your mother fly please ...I repeat do not let her fly 😵
There's a 3mph speed limit on most of the upper Thames. You can theoretically get ticketed for swimming too fast.

I always liked Josh Widdicombe, one of my favorite guests on Q.I. and of course I enjoy watching Russell otherwise I wouldn't be here lol
Loved this! Narrowboat holidays are the best! Russell and Josh were great. I wish there was a full show of this x
I'd give anything to be bored and go barging with Josh, proper legend!
Russell spots a hottie and casually creates a bro moment...awesome!
oh it was near Queen Mary University of London :)
Not even kidding, lived on a barge once, great fun!
Russell is starting to look like a blonde shorter steven merchant
They're both from the West Country, they're probably related.
Ha
His eyes don’t quite bulge with imagined riches in the same way.
Eeeeey Russ is barging through my home town Hackney
Yeah, river lea, old ford fish Island and the regents near Vicky park! That's hackney, definitely!
I been on barging holiday weeks before. But with you two, it'll be weirdly funny
fantastic chuckles
I live the fact how in the title Josh makes Russel go barging, as if a josh is forcing him to go blinking barging!
Was waiting for a Rosie and Jim comment 😂💯 memories
These two are always confusing me about who is who I have no idea why
kaydee1959 russel is the hot one
Russell is the one with glasses, thank me later

I love that episode of Josh where he gets roped into going to a mate’s pirate themed barge birthday party.
Russell is so Bi and I live for it
You two need to do a tour! On a barrge
2:20 Pembrokeshire is an incredible place though! 🥰
Omg josh looks so weak im amazed he is able to open his eyes
What a delight
Brilliant! Too funny!🤗
I've never seen this episode of Rosie and Jim
That looks like so much fun! I would love to do that on such a beautiful day...😷✌🙂😄
This was great
So thats where the term argy-bargy came from!
Is anyone else just thinking of that episode of josh w the pirate boat

That was so good
If the boat was called onion. It would be onion bargee😂😂
I'VE ALREADY SEEN THAT
Where was this filmed? Looks nice.
I thought that was called a canal boat ?
Canal boat, barge, narrowboat... all different names for more or less the same thing :)
Love you
...i misread the title as *'banging'*
You missed out on the opportunity to eat Onion bhajis on a barge (long boat)
Was that Viccy Park?
2:00 because of the implication
Russel is probably the funniest guy in the English channel like If u agree
I've seen him live three times
josh used to go to my secondary school
The tiny Devon one ...or was that the primary?!!!
no umm he went to my secondary school in devon called south dartmoor
Simpsons is starting so I'll watch in a bit
Enjoy xD
Which episode?
@@Stuffthatsfunny1 the one that's on Channel 4
* *Insert forced conversation opinion about how the Simpsons should have ended twenty years ago and try to make people care about my opinion.* *
That's the thing about narrowboating - too many gongoozellers and too many locks.
Never have i ever been on a narrow boat
does Russell reply to fans?
Very rarely
No, because he doesn't run the channel. Pepega.
looks like ken skips leg days
Hi Friends
It's not a barge, and it's not "barging". It's a bloody narrowboat! Canal people hate it when you call them barges. 2:00 my daughter was conceived on a narrowboat ;-)
You two float my boat ⛵
I build these for a living so if you fancy one, hook us up. X

Tell em about the vom honey Joshie!
If you have sex on a boat like this, it is _before_ you die.
A lot of sex offenders buy narrow boats. By law if they remain in a location for more than a week they must register their location. With narrow boats they can keep moving every week to avoid having to register their presence.
better be on tickover past those moored boats.
I had those Sugar puffs it’s the most horrible thing ever. I threw up on a minibus and the smell for weeks 🤢
Hey it's like looking in mirror for them they look like clones
Bristol?
Whose got a tent with a foyer?
they look the same !!
