We were Vikings: Lloyds TSB Pub Rally 2007

[omihouseparty]

c'è ne di gente malata ahahaha

[13smilinggirls]

just moved new area

wanting new friends 9X

[theemrod]

What were you this year? Our team was the Wurzels.

[21stCenturyCat]

we were the Beard Leaders and went around with the Cheer Leaders. Expect a video in the next few days.

[theemrod]

Good stuff - I saw you then. Did you see/hear us? Last year I made the ostrich costumes with the jockeys on top. Took me two months, all from scratch and we came 73rd! No justice!

[21stCenturyCat]

wow that is harsh from last year, I think we came 2nd or 3rd but then again, we did carry the viking boat around with us all night (not that I can take any credit for making it).

And it was a funny one this year, I'm pretty sure I saw you guys but because there were different routes and not one cross over pub I get the the feeling there were a lot of costumes I didn't see.

[AngryPirateProd]

Yay vikings!

[21stCenturyCat]

ha-argggggggh! oh, that's pirates... ;)

[1966Nicole1966]

hahaha this is great:)

[21stCenturyCat]

thanks and thanks for the subscription :)

[KurtGnu]

Ha ha ha.. seems like you had your fair share of raping and pillaging.. :D

[21stCenturyCat]

it was indeed a good night to be a viking! :)

[kissnyuszi]

Was this kind of like the British equivalent of an annual American civil war re-enactment? Blokes getting together outdoors, in costume, maybe falling over and then going for a drink? Hehe.

[21stCenturyCat]

ha ha, yeah something like that ;)

[KurtGnu]

Well, I'm of viking blood, and there's nothing wrong with the traditions of old.. but these days we do not rape.. we settle for tickling them with featherdusters instead.. :P

[21stCenturyCat]

this is indeed the 21stCenury, tickling seems perfectly reasonable to me :)

[KurtGnu]

I think the women prefer it.. as do the monks in the local monasteries.. :)

[highheadjester]

LOLOL drinkin, fighting and wenches!! ~HiGH HeaD JeSTeR~

[21stCenturyCat]

it was indeed a good day :)

[JeremiahSilk]

Awesome vid matey!!!

[21stCenturyCat]

thanks, just wish I had some photos of you from the night... ;)

[morfeene2]

Could you send some of those "Healing Wenches" over here, my boy? - thanks

[21stCenturyCat]

ha ha, I'll see what I can do ;)

[SavannahLioness]

that was a little too strange for me :|

[21stCenturyCat]

take my word for it, it was fun fun fun! :)

[TamHickey67]

looks like bloody good fun to me and a great way of raising the profile of the charity too. Well done mate. You each deserved a princess.

[21stCenturyCat]

a good time was had by all, the princesses were a bonus ;)

[Minniver]

Great cause :) Glad MrFunny talked you into it :)

[21stCenturyCat]

Mr Funny this, Mt Funny that, it's all I hear from you these days! ;)

[SilverStarFilms]

That was a good'un. :)

[21stCenturyCat]

yep and how could a night like that have been anything but fun :)

[Blizzeekitty]

A Princess Leia! Wooooo!

[21stCenturyCat]

yep, that was most defintely a highlight :)

[PrincessDiana161]

This was mad funny, it was like watching a Saturday night on 86th street in Brooklyn....only without the big hair and gold chains lol

[21stCenturyCat]

ha ha thanks, I'm hoping to go to NYC next year so maybe I'll check out 86th street, I'll even bring my Viking outfit ;)

[LadySeneca]

LOL That's hawt. Wait.. green smurfs? haha May I ask where you got the name of "Pape & Rillage"? There is a specific reason I ask. ;)

[LadySeneca]

OMG! This is the first time ever I have not received a reply from 21stCC. WTH is going on here!! I think I've entered the twilight zone. Oh I know. You saved them all for samsarajade. I see how it is! :P

[MrFunny1972]

Hello LadySeneca, as 21st CC still hasn't replied I will answer this. I devised the name 'Pape & Rillage'. May I ask what your specific reason for asking was?

[21stCenturyCat]

sorry Michelle, following the johnreagannumber1 video saying how great this channel I can no longer enter into personal correspondence with the fans. Apparently now that I've broken the 250 sub mark that's how it works, my apologies.

[21stCenturyCat]

ok, the real reason, I am actually shocked and I do apologise. I'd been busy doing the johnreagan response video and hadn't realised (or had forgotten) that I'd not replied to all of the comments on this page and certainly wouldn't have intentionally not responded to you, one of my YT favs :)

Mr F came up with the name and personally I wasn't too happy with it. Now that I've responded twice are we ok again? ;)

[anakin1814]

BRILLIANT!!!! SO many good bits in this one....By Odin's beard. You don't like "Smurfs", the princess, etc, etc. This is the best video slide show i've ever seen!!! AWESOME!

[21stCenturyCat]

so did you get the other Star Wars reference in the video...

[anakin1814]

Hmmmm...other than the princess? and "we needed help" ...i don't think so....

[21stCenturyCat]

outwitting you re Star Wars is "All too easy" 01:27 although there is a chance I have misquoted Star Wars...

[anakin1814]

Ah yes...now i see it. You have SO many good bits in this video, that i forget about half of them when i comment! And thanks to the 500 character limit, i can't do a running commentary about all of the things i love about each video!

[LizaJane77]

How much fun!! This was a good video..even if Mr F was in it :P

[21stCenturyCat]

yep, there's no getting away from that guy! ;)

[TomsterMusic]

Wow! That was simply amazing! I've had strange dreams like this! But it really happened?! Grooovy! I absolutely loved the viking boat! It was like, a cross between vikings and Flinstones! Haha! Anywaaayy... that was awesommmeee!!!

5 stars! And 3 wenches!

Rock onnn!

♫ ToM! ♪

[21stCenturyCat]

you're absolutely right, that boat was "Flintstones-tastic!" :)

[payit4ward]

They werent Smurfs...Smurfs are BLUE ffs!!! They were OOmpah LOOmpahs!!!You really must work on identifying ethnic/little people minorities 21stCenturyCat!lol

Billy...

[21stCenturyCat]

I'm sorry but I know smurfs when I see them... ;0

[samsarajade]

clearly UmpaLumpas, accept you got it wrong. . . twice! ":0, now lets see if you can accept criticism! lol!

[21stCenturyCat]

hmmm, or could this be 'another' intentional 21CC mistake like the time I got Bono mixed up with Boneo, Toronto mixed up with Seattle and Portuguese Ronaldo mixed up with Brazilian Ronaldo... I'll let you decide ;)

[SeaHawkSpring]

I wanted to go... ;<

[21stCenturyCat]

it was a lot of fun :)

[skyvid07]

i want a point

[21stCenturyCat]

ha ha well there was plenty to go around that night :)

[JazzyLemmon]

now that looks like FUN!!!

[21stCenturyCat]

it WAS fun! :)

[SportyMusician]

LOL Funny! I guess its in a vikings blood to Kill, Drink, Hit on women, Drink, And KILL SOME MORE! lol. I should know....IM Scottish ;)

[21stCenturyCat]

yep, all part of normal day for your average Viking ;)

[silverscreamgrl]

From the looks of the beer consumation alone, I'd guess your crew single handedly raised the 10,000 pounds ;) fun times!

[21stCenturyCat]

ha ha, we were just doing our bit for charity and if that means drinking lots of beer and having fun then so be it ;)

[silverscreamgrl]

Yeah, it's a shame the things you gotta do for charity ;)

[samsarajade]

So the REAL reason for the beards is to catch the beer spilt down your faces when trying to down pints too quickly!? lol

I must say, those 'healing wenches' were. . . noticeable! And you got to meet Princess Leah! WOW!!!

Looks like a whole lot of fun, and with a good result in the charity money thingy too! :D

[21stCenturyCat]

it's so funny that you should say that about the beard, because that's almost identical to a comment I make in the upcoming bloopers/behind the scnenes video of this one :)

And yes, it was a whole lof of fun and I just had to ask the Princess Leia for a photo the minute I saw her :)

[samsarajade]

My mis-spelling of her name noted ;) lol!

[21stCenturyCat]

well I didn't want to point it out but consider this your Star Wars lesson for the day ;)

[samsarajade]

hehehe geek ;) lol!

[TasteLikePoison]

Haha!! Those pictures are funny!!^^ I like how you tell us the story xD

[21stCenturyCat]

I was thinking of just explaining the story with titles but hoped that doing the narration added something a little extra :)

[bw123]

"Pape and Rillage" - classic 21cc!

[21stCenturyCat]

ha ha thanks although I didn't come up with the name, in fact I think I was even against the idea of us going as Vikings but it really couldn't have gone any better :)

[21stCenturyCat]

Mr Funny has just pointed out (and I didn't even know this) that he came up with the name.

"Mr Funny, consider the record set straight" ;)

[spricket24]

WOW!

[21stCenturyCat]

ha ha and here's a true story, I was about to reply and say "is this a real message or from a spambot" but then realised I was getting my Spricket's mixed up with my Lisa's... ;)

and here's an odd thing, although I sub to you none of your videos show in my subscription list, I thought you'd gone all quiet and then I saw your recent bulletin - great vid btw :)

[kenrg]

Today is a good day to drink. Er, I mean vlog. Whatever.

Looks like much fun was had, much beer was consumed, and it was all for a good cause. Excellent!

[21stCenturyCat]

much fun was had and it was for charity so all in all, a great combination. Roll on next year! :)

[MrFunny1972]

Hilarious! 5 stars, straight into my Favourites, and no criticism! Perfection indeed. How many cuts were used downing that pint? lol

[21stCenturyCat]

that will all be explained in a later video but essentially my attempts to drink beer with it pouring down my face went very, very wrong hence all the cuts

[Sh4zor]

Looks like fun... you can never go wrong with a vid that involves ale and women...

[21stCenturyCat]

Agreed!

[stukeck]

Great vid compadre.... You didn't take the vid cam too? Looks like a big crowd...

Pappy mumbled it...

[21stCenturyCat]

I did think about taking the cam but I knew it would have stood little chance of making it through the whole evening. And I didn't take any of these pictures either (I'm just the editor) so I got to enjoy the evening :)

[ajdpadbury]

Haha, probably your funniest video ever! Loved the narration too, a good way of presenting a slide show with the before and after video, inspired. btw I am sure you can really down a pint, maybe you cut it up for comedy effect? Whatever, I give it FIVE!

[21stCenturyCat]

wow thanks! that is praise indeed! :)

After my recent videos Mr Funny gave me some 'constructive criticism' so I did my best to make this one as quick as possible with 'no filler', I was going to explain why I cut the 'downing the pint' section up but it would have added another minute so I thought let's keep this one short and snappy. All I'll say is, look out for the bloopers video coming soon when all will be explained re the pint;)

[Evilspartacus]

Great pics mmmmm healing wench's lol : )

[21stCenturyCat]

of course what would be ideal is a 'wench' that can heal, serve beer and also dance ;)
