I feel like we all have had experiences like this, maybe not to this extreme though, LOL! They found a way to make such simple, mundane topics so freakin' fun!

Hiya Mandy,
Jeez, Manuel went through three different jackets in quick succession early on in this episode - red, black then white, thatโs so extra ๐
Basil: โJust my way of getting through the day my dear. The Samaritans were engagedโ
The Samaritans are a free 24/7 help line for people going through tough times in their life, they offer a safe place for you to talk about your troubles without judgement, theyโre just there to listen.
My mam dressed me in a vest during the winter months under my school shirt in primary school, not a string vest though, just a plain white cotton one.
Ta Mandy

Indeed! I'm sure the net tank-top was there for comic effect. I believe the gaps are to trap air and hence be warmer in winter than a normal cotton under-shirt, but as I say, very obsolete and an object of hilarity even back then. ๐๐พ

You have such a keen eye for detail. All the times I've watch these and I've never noticed Basil grinning before he was hit, or the boom mike.
And when you realised what you said about 'one of those'.... haha that was gold! :)
This was such a good watch with you reacting to it. Thanks!

I think Mandy has got the wrong idea there Josh. If you twat someone you headbutt them

Josh Read

Let's just say she wouldn't be coming back. Or most likely we'd be getting sacked ๐
Joshyboiiiiii
2024-06-28 23:26:10 +0000 UTC
Welp, not sure EXACTLY what you meant, but from what I know of the word "twat her" definitely paints a picture ๐

If that was at work I'd have paid a female colleagues to twat her one or at least throw her through a glass winda

Lmao Bob! And I honestly have no idea what men wear or don't under their shirts but I was very surprised to see a net tank top ๐

Thank you! My family seems to be relapsing a bit.. ๐ฌ it got quite cold here. I am still doing great though so fingers crossed it is over for me ๐ค๐ป. Also yes I have had to deal with some very rude people before at work, but luckily I am really good at it and totally keep my cool. I am proud of that. ๐

The Mrs Richards clip in her room complaining about her room and the one in the office with Basil pretending to talk, you should be able to get those 2 scenes on YouTube

That moment you said people that suck and then realised how that could be taken .. funnier than anything in the episode.

Hi Mandy! I was born the year this came out, but I do remember as a child in the 80s that any time an adult referred to "one of those" with a disapproving sneer, they invariably meant a "member of the LGBTQ+ community" as it wasn't known. Less enlightened, less tolerant times.
As far as the "wife-beater" goes, we just call it a vest, it is extremely uncommon now, but in my experience, men born in the first half of the 20th century very often wore them, and perhaps still do. I believe my dad still does for example. It's usually accompanied by stained Y-fronts and socks with holes worn through the toes. It's not the best look.

That bitch at the start Mrs Richards is literally my grandmother the most stuck up entitled coffin dodger you could think of, if I was Polly I would have put the cash register through her head after the first time she interrupted me
Remi

That's not "what happens when you lie" - that's what happens when you are Basil. ๐
The string vest (as it is called in the UK) that Basil is wearing under his shirt is not common. Not now at least, a bit more so 45 years ago when this was made, but never what you would call a fashion item! Men in the UK do not normally wear anything under a shirt - though I notice it still seems quite common in the US for some reason.

I've certainly missed your laughter Mandy ๐.the way youn quickly moved on was skillfully done indeed ๐ I've certainly delt with rude people like that before ๐ค have you ever had anyone rude you had to deal with at the theatre? It's certainly nice to see that you are feeling better again ๐ are your family better too?
Josh Read
2024-06-27 17:32:03 +0000 UTC
Worst part is there are loads of people who are actually like that, you just can't do right for doing wrong. ๐ Nicely handled tho. When they mentioned fighting I wondered: I bet Mandy's had at least one proper cat fight. All these stories she has, must be one of a scrap somewhere ๐คฃ
Anyone else noticed whenever Mandy reacts to sarcasm or sass she wiggles her nose at the camera with a smarmy smile? (18:45) I like that little mannrrism. ๐คฃ
