Yeoman Warder At Tower Of London, Part III of Four

[thedking987]

this guy reminds me of johnny rotten, if he never became a punk, but became a royalist instead.

[MrGarrett1911]

im trained in psychological warfare you know, i never laughed so much

[robo438]

If only my history teachers at school had this sort of humour, I might have payed attention.

[Darthbelal]

"BE QUIET! This is a palace, not a playground!" We need people like Bill in restaurants to say that to all the screaming little kids.....

[Kevelaerpolizei]

@palus666 22 years service and rank of Sergeant is require to become a member of the Yeoman Of The Guard or a member of the Yeomen Warders. They are two seperate units :)

[youtubasoarus]

If I ever make it to London i'm going to have to stop by there and listen to this man.

[Klukie1994]

pretty much every teacher I had at school..

[fmacoful]

what a powerful voice. No doubt he had served in military. ^^

[Insperato62]

lapacman26 - that attitude could explain the appalling behaviour in public of most English school kids, not to mention an egoistic inability to "shut up, listen, and learn" (masses of stuff from this guy). But, it wouldn't only be this man telling you to shut up - it would be the entire group.

[BulletFoss]

@lapacman26 Yeah and he'd bitch slap the fuck out of your disrespectful face.

[lapacman26]

@BulletFoss somehow i really dont think he would fag

[BulletFoss]

@lapacman26 He's been bitchslapping Paratroopers and Royal Marines for 20 years, I'm sure you wouldn't be a problem.

[lapacman26]

@BulletFoss would only take a phone call to have that dealt with.

[BulletFoss]

@lapacman26 You can shut up now you sad shit.

[lapacman26]

@BulletFoss oooo i have little call of duty videos on youtube because i cant set foot in the real world because i would get battered!

[BulletFoss]

@lapacman26

I was an infantry solider in the British Army, including a lengthy tour on the front line in Afghan.

If your keen enough to check out my videos, you'll see some I uploaded where we pinned down our sergeant in Afghan and shaved his tash off.

Also, search youtube for L96 Sniper Rifle, the top result features yours truly in the video.

So yeah, I'm sure I would get battered mate.

p.s. - I don't have a single CoD video, fuck-tard

[BigDaveNeg]

i love this guy!!

[Karl0010]

I am going to go to London just to see this guy.

[colwilpro]

Shame England has been sold down the river by corrupt politicians. Our ass belongs to the EU now.

[bluenose4344]

@colwilpro sorry, not such sovereign nation as England, Its merely part of the UK.

[takerdust]

do Japanese tourists get the same guys?

[cogidubnus1953]

@takerdust Yes, and so do the French and Italians...

[TehImmortus]

I lost it when he yelled at those kids

[mainface]

be quiet, yet he yells every 2 mins or so lol

[bigman40xxl]

Watched all four parts, thanks very much for posting this, it was very entertaining.

[dave5785568]

Not a zero dislike :)

[dave5785568]

@dave5785568 single*

[dogg755]

i have an uncle who left the army as an RSM. Army humour is the darkest, sickest, but funniest you will hear. I assure you this legend of a bloke is holding back... hard!

[famzii01]

'Put that on youtube'

@jec0066 is that what made u put it up :p

[JC5296]

Proud to be english :')

[supertonytitan]

Forget the PC and all that tosh - this fellas a star ! Makes you proud to be British !

[heedihoo]

Excellent. Reminds me of a slimmer John Goodman...

[devv1989]

that was really entertaining, what a cool guy, i hope that guy gets paid fucking well.

[4j2stroke]

his PC manner sounds good to me,in fact i really wanna go on his tour now,very funny :)

[larrythelookout]

watching and enjoying.

[DunnersMagrew]

"I hope you're gonna put that one on Youtube" - He doesn't know how right he was XD

[luscomator]

Thoroughly entertaining, the warder is comedy gold.

[michaellenard2]

bloody brilliant

[dcv1894]

Not a lot of people know this but this Yeoman Warder is Bill Callaghan. He has been told off by the management of the Tower for his non PC manner.

If you like Bill's style drop him a line at the Tower and let him know.

Guys like him need our support.

[stardetective29]

I saw that suit of armor! :p

[madalex1411]

@stardetective29 Me too, that codpiece is MASSIVE!

[IFoughtTheLaw100]

Genius. Watch all 4 Video's

[Zace66]

Torture is a way to keep conversation going...

This would, indeed, be the best history teacher anywhere!!!

[jec0066]

whoops, that particular comment was spoken in Part II!

[jec0066]

healthy, I meant!

[jec0066]

The videographer liked the Mel Gibson comments too. "Mel Gibson ..... should have been brought that that door and given a health slap...."

[BexLou68]

Absolutely fabulous! Haven't laughed so much in ages.....especially about history!! :) Thanks for sharing it!

[RoketSock]

i fell up the bloody tower's trip step :)

[bigbeninjax]

Like a cross between W.C.Fields and Benny Hill.

[MontiEyes]

Did you catch his name?

[huggsm47]

Now THAT is the drill voice of a CSM!!

[TheHoodedStrider]

9:07 "It's a Gift shop now."

[drankrur]

Hear that voice when he tells them to be quiet? That is a voice that would carry over the battlefield.

[Wigganator]

I learned something about the height of fortress doors today. What a good teacher. XD

[utubenasha]

"I hope you're gonna put that one on you tube"

Very good!

[javakogan]

So great!! Thank you for posting!

[PIETSJEZZZZZ]

Wonderful, thanks for sharing this, he is a class act.

[smurfette1411]

'i hope you're going to put that one on youtube'

Absolutely brilliant!! i'd love him on a tour!!

[Bluejackels]

Now would you talk while he was? :D

[impermanence100]

Psychological warfare in the form of Henry V111's cod piece. This man is hilarious.

[grichman110]

A comedy Genius who teaches while entertaining. All this from a guy who has also served Queen and Country it's what makes Britain GREAT!!!!

[24059227]

A great advert for the country and for the British Army. It's men like this who possess great character, personality, humour, intellect, recall and sheer presence that characterise all that's best about the British people. If ever history could be made fascinating and memorable here's the man to teach it. My sides are still hurting from laughter - absolutely unspeakably brilliant.

[terrikenny1]

where was this guy when I went round the Tower?  Absolutely brilliant. Thanks!

[robinsx200]

A national treasure :)

[tessa594]

Thanks so much for posting these jec0066, they've really brightened my day, and restored my faith in the existence and value of real people unconstrained by PC.

[jonbonfire75]

quality wat a top guy well funny.. im going there soon.

[rinnywee]

I want him to be my dad

[chiczoom]

Best series I have ever seen on YouTube. I have been to the Tower of London 4x and I never got Bill. But I can say all the other beefeaters are very good. Bill is exceptional.

[spongiebungie]

snappy outfit.

[LinziScot]

Thank you so much for posting this. Bill Callahan needs to have INTERnational recognition. What a genius chap - so dead pan but factual and therefore intriguing.  Come on, Bill - set up a website for your fans' ongoing personal development!!

[WelshKala]

This gentleman totally rocks - thank you

[BrianRobertLow]

Priceless, absolutely priceless I have not laughed so much for years except when the mother in law died !

Thanks for putting these videos up - jec0066 - I luv ya !

[solarcorona2006]

This is possibly the best history lesson I have ever had. That Guy is fabulous.

[wildbill118]

Happy to say Bill returned to work today and will be back on tours tomorrow!

[deannajoseph]

If only he were PM

[Fisher2006]

Fantastic Stuff.. made it onto the Millwall Website (House Of Fun)..class...

[billsmith666]

absolutely brilliant, we need more guys like those bloke

[patrickm62nov]

Cheap tack at extortionate prices!

[tommyrockon]

@patrickm62nov Hi Patrick... it's TAT a London word for cheap rubbish

[jec0066]

I hope all of you may view all four parts. I had to break up the video due to YouTube constraints on both size and length.

Our trip to London in Dec. 2010 had many highlights, but the Tour of the Tower of London and this fellow's humor was surely the peak!

[suckaniggasdick]

@jec0066 Thanks very much for these man. Greatly enjoyed!

How much did the tour cost? I'm gonna be in London next month - might have to do this!

[daddybear101]

God so much like my old Sgt Major

[roughun]

@daddybear101 Like all Sgt Majors mate!!

[mrst269]

Brilliant

[donkekeli]

Awesome.... such flawless matured wanker by English Standards ;)

[wenglishsal]

AWESOME, I have grinned, chuckled and have huge respect for this Yeoman, what a star... BRILLIANT :0)x

[gmtbrs]

Bloody English national treasure this bloke

[madorosh]

"I know you're going to put that one on YouTube". LOL

[RustiSwordz]

Ive just spent half an hour peeing myself laughing. Can we have him as our next Prime Minister...

[ndtig00]

Wow what a Yeoman Warder what a great tour.Well done Bill.

[seanandrewtamkin]

I have shared a beer with this guy, quite a few in fact. He is a very respected guy. Keep up the good work Bill.

[pigpenthegreat]

I've seen the tour led by this guy, very entertaining. Tip the man well :)

[MrCopperhead1861]

I'm going into public history at Uni, if I get to be anything at all like this guy, I've earned a paycheck. :)

[Deathjester01]

Genius man!  True love of his job and a real passion and skill!

[Fawnfire]

"Do you all see my head? Do you all see my hat? Good" This guy is my hero, he's absolutely brilliant!

[Insperato62]

@kipperwacker The man is brilliant.He said nothing that "foreigners" don't expect (and they laugh - perhaps not the Italians) even the Aussies.Yes, he was racist, bigotted, sexist but all said with a twinkle in the eyes.He made it interesting & inviting.Most importantly he spoke from the ordinary person's perspective (ie about Guy Fawkes), but I don't think for one moment he wants us to "rule the world" as he admitted we'd knicked much (including countries) at the point of a gun.

[popazz1]

This chap should come on prescription to the nation! Imagine just how much more interesting history would be in schools if there was some-1 like him teaching it. It must be quite a challenge,when you have many different foreign nationals visiting the Tower,to be understood, & unconfusing.He is a genius at what he does & worth double whatever the entrance fee is.It's said that if the ravens at the Tower ever left then England would fall.Same applies to this man.Absolutely brilliant.

[kipperwacker]

yeah - guy fawkes - 'the only honest man to enter parliament!' glad he slipped that one in. this guy is the kind of teacher every child should have. and yeah- he deserves some kind of honour. if very briton was like this we would rule the world.

[stinkychemist]

@kipperwacker Hey, I AM the kind of teacher that would be like this, if it weren't for the whinging little horrors or their bleeding heart parents - "you can't say that, it's discrimination" or "but that's picking on people who aren't here / people who can't reply / abusing your position" etc., etc.

I tried to explain how Mr Bird invented custard powder, which is flammable and therefore explosive. All I got was "Why did he make that rubbish stuff? I make proper egg custard with my mum"

[shnuggydunks]

Utterly brilliant. This man deserves another MSM for his cameo performance - irreverent, funny, engaging, superbly informed and able to put over his story in a flowing entertaining manner that an ex-military fellow tour guide immediately recognises. Unbeatable and worth his weight in gold.

[AprylZA]

"trained in psychological warfare" I have full confidence in the realm!

[HarleyDerek]

".... how many times must I tell you, it was not built as a prison, it was built as a palace"

[rogerthedodger55]

What a cool guy, i would consider it a honour to share a beer or two with him.....total respect

[TeflonUncleChev]

@rogerthedodger55 I totally agree.

[robinbirrell]

@rogerthedodger55 share? Not have?

[rogerthedodger55]

@robinbirrell Well spotted young man, What a cool guy, i would consider it an honour to have a beer or two with him.....total respect....i stand corrected

[memando]

Wish Id seen him when I was there.. hes hilarious

[gunbunny1978]

excuse me one moment.......... BE QUIET!  this is a palace, not a playground!
