Bernard Manning the foul mouthed comedian died aged 76, he had a kidney condition. Famous in the 70's he scared people with the jokes he might tell next, sexist, racist whatever he did them all. Its ok to make fun at the expense of others as long as you are willing to make fun at yerself, I think Manning knew this, he worked through the working man's clubs in the North of England and became a British institution though not always a popular one.

I have visited BM's (as he billed it) 'World Famous Embassy Club', in Manchester, many times. Bernard was not popular in some circles, but his club was always full - of all races, colours and creeds! He wasn't a racist - he took the mickey out of everyone, and he took the mickey out of himself more than anyone else. His charity work was unparalleled, though not a lot of people knew about it.
Manning was an unfunny egotistical tosser.
Are you two related?
BAM!! I rule!
fat sparrow he was just so cuddly.
akelamalu I totally get it that a lot of people can't see past their own issues to see the funny, I commit crimes against the uptight every day.
nokia what are you trying to say?
Manning was a funny cunt. Offended everybody in equal measure. Not afraid to say whatever the fuck he wanted to. Yeah, he was too much for some people but a legendary comedian nonetheless. Not many of his kind left and it's a shame that political correctness has made sure that there won't ever be anyone else like him.
We need a sense of humour about ourselves more than ever these days, we can choose to laugh or we can choose to be miserable and over sensitive. I choose to laugh whether at my own expense or at some cunt else's.
RIP Bernard.
