    He was a lovely man, a compassionate man, a man who loved people of all races and creeds, who did'nt have a bad word to say about anybody.

    God bless you Bernard may you rest in peace..








    you FAT BASTARD;)

    I heard the news on Radio 4 this morning and suddenly birds started singing and the Sun came out.

    Somehow the world feels just a little nicer with him gone.

    A picture of innocence & subtleness.

    As he once said before in BrassEye (Drugs Episode):
    "Cake is a made-up drug. It's not made from plants, it's made from chemicals.........by.........sick bastards."

    Farewell you fat fùck

    Who told this joke:

    "I was watching the telly... all those people in Africa living in mud huts... walking miles to the nearest stream to get water... why bother? Just move your mud huts nearer the river... easy..."

    That's right, Ricky Gervais.

    But he was being ironic, right? :rolleyes:

    By the way I have no time at all for Manning, his day and his way of looking at life is dying out, thank god.

    Ok BM was fat lads. However is the reason here for the abuse ye are giving him because we (irish) were the subject of his 'jokes'.

    But that's the thing though, if you're clever and ironic you say whatever you want about Blacks, Asians, Jews, Women, Gays, Disabled people, etc.
    Hell, ya might even get a bunch of awards too. :rolleyes:

    A black man, a Pakastani and a Jew were in a nightclub - what a good example of an integrated community.

    nope im not slagging the guy.......i taught he was funny, he made me laugh don't care what the pc brigade think...

    "I'm glad I'm not bisexual; I couldn't stand being rejected by men as well as women"

    Richard Branson was asked to take over Manchester City football team. He said, "I couldn't do that. I couldn't have Virgin on the shirts of a team that gets F****D every week!"

    His Irish jokes were hilarious, I think the hurling of abuse at him had a lot to do with jealousy. He's in Heaven now, The Big Embassy in The Sky, makin' em laugh. My own favourite joke was the one he told about the dyslexsic Irish stonecutter. ' E she were thin '

    May he rest in peace.

    First of I heard of his death was a txt message 5 minutes ago. It said:

    Bernard Manning has died at the age of 76. Doctors have described his condition as 'satisfactory'.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 16,397 ✭✭✭✭Degsy


    I had his death on an accumalator in the bookies with Patrick Keilty and Tommy Teirnan.

    Eh, but that's a joke about "why bother walking". It's not a joke based on race at all.

    Ah, Bernard Righton - what a superb character.

    (Ah, Bernard Manning - what a scumbag.)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,831 ✭✭✭Slow Motion


    Well at least he finally did something his critics will approve of !

    I don't get that joke?

    The guy wasn't all that famous, he only appears to the working men's club sort of person, just like that other racist, sexist moron Jim Davidson.

    I'm guessing its only the punchline, to which we were all supposed to respond with "Ah yeah, ****ing brilliant that one". But no...

    Anyway, Bernard Manning. Who?

    here's another BM beaut....


    A bloke is at the supermarket checkout. On the conveyer belt he's got one sausage,
    one rasher of bacon, one bread roll, one egg, one tomato etc.

    The bird on the checkout looks at him and says: "Ooh, you must be a single man."

    Bloke thinks he's in and says: "Why, how can you tell?"

    "Because you're an ugly c*nt."

    It wasn't a joke, it was more the punchline which many of his fans would be familiar. It's my own personal favourite joke, it's not great, not brillant just funny. He appeals to me and I've never set foot in a Working man's club in my life. I thought he was funny. Jim Davidson, Chubby Brown etc don't appeal to me at all.

    Bernard Righton, by the way. Brilliant.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 2,985 ✭✭✭philstar


    another BM belter...:D

    An ugly c*nt of a man walks into his local pub with a big grin on his face.

    "What are you so happy about?" Asks the barman.

    "Well, I'll tell you," replies the ugly man. "You know, I live by the
    railway. Well, on my way home last night, I noticed a young woman tied to
    the tracks, like in the movies. I, of course, went and cut her free and took
    her back to my place. Anyway, to make a long story short, I scored big time!
    We made love all night, all over the house. We did everything, me on top,
    sometimes her on top, every position imaginable!"

    "Fantastic!" exclaimed the barman. "You lucky guy. Was she pretty?"
    .
    .
    F**K knows!!......Never found the head.

    very funny guy, RIP


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,488 ✭✭✭tampopo


    I've always found Ricky Gervais to be incredibly UNfunny.

    the "e she were thin" was from a much longer different joke, well, the version I heard it anyway, Yorkshire based, not Cheshire based.

    anyway, my 2p worth
