Moving out of the city backfires... #MichaelMcIntyre #Countryside #RoyalVariety Website: www.michaelmci... Facebook: / themichaelmcintyre Twitter: @McInTweet
"It became my dream after she told me about it, everyday for 10 years" 🤣 Super true though, my mr is planning a road trip around the country in a camper van this summer. My idea that he 1st hated 😍😊
Once a kitchen salesman came to our lovely country cottage and he was terrified looking out the window - 'because of all the trees out there.' I have no idea what he thought they were going to do.
‘We have Suicidal pigeon in London’..😂😂 ‘You might pass the phone to the burglar: how did you find the place...’😂😂😂😂 ‘What concerns me in this very moment is: I think there is another man in the house..’😂😂😂😂😂 So funny😂😂😂😂
I grew up in Utah so that was a pretty rural state, and I can confirm that these things were true, I remember something that happened when I was really young, basically this was still when I lived in the trailer park, and sometimes I would camp outside with Henry. So one night we were sitting outside and we had a long day of camping together so we set up the tents and got in our sleeping bags, and I swear that I was sound asleep, like out cold, when I was woken up by a noise that sounded like “Eeeeeeeaaaaaaaahhhhh!Eeeeeeeee-e-e-e-ahhhh!” That is literally what I heard, and I swear that as soon as the sound came I could hear Henry screaming, he was normally a tough guy, but he screamed like a little girl on that night. I was also scared so we bolted out of there and left all our stuff. Also I found out that this sound matches a coyote call, so I think that was the animal I heard.
...And garlands in your hair, and lambs, and maypoles, and angelic children singing Greensleeves. Reality: meth heads in your garage stealing the copper tubing from your beer fridge.
You're just taking a lovely quiet country stroll - and a pheasant bursts out of the bushes sounding like a football rattle on a megaphone. Gets me every time.
I lived in the country all my life can confirm. I blame part of it for my fear of the dark. We do lock our doors, I check several times to be sure, since my family literally lives in the middle of the woods. No others houses in sight.
I grew up in rural Wiltshire and I loved the nighttime sounds. Only downside was the army training area was near our village and you’d hear them shelling and firing during the summer nights so it drowned out the nature.
I live in a rural part of Gloucestershire and would never go to bed without locking my door. If someone did break in at night i dread to think about how long it would take for the police to get here. My Nan who also lives rural had her house broken in to a while ago and it took almost 5 hours for police to arrive.
My dog passed away in September. Apparently, word spread in the neighborhood. (I live near a lake and woods.) So NOW all kinds of animals are coming into my backyard at night. I've had cats fighting. I had something killing something else. Birds making a "CAW!! CAW!!" sound right outside my bedroom window. Dear God, it rattles the nerves, sending me and my cats on edge.
Oh my gosh - this was reminding me of Suffolk as well, especially my first time there - my at-the-time fiance's parents lived in Suffolk (near Ed Sheeran's place), now that is 'real country' - and I had to stay there with them for a few winter months while fiance was setting up business elsewhere. I'm from the city, and I will NEVER forget the nights there - the first time I went outside at night, I had the fright of my life! Michael is NOT exaggerating about it haha - and that's what makes it so funny - it's the shared experience of that.. you really can't see anything... I was SO freaked out. (I live in Brighton now too BTW - and I was warned beforehand about the seagulls - but far worse for us is not so much 'mental people's weird noises as drunk students, and drunk other people, walking past talking loudly or shouting, every single night and well into morning...."SHUT UP!!". Hot summer nights when you have to have the windows open are the worst!
It became my dream when she told me about it everyday for 10 years lol 😂 Also the bit about pigeons made me laugh everytime I see one in the city I think of this 😂
I moved back recently after growing up in the (Australian) countryside and after screaming at the sound of some bird or other one night recently...I now understand what he means.
Once I was in the south of London and a group of friends and me came across a fox around 9:30 pm. He sat down in the middle of the road and looked at us as if deciding which of us to eat first 🦊. He didn’t disappear after a second...
Hahaha if I got married I’d be the one answering the sounds in the middle of the night... why? Because I’m always down to swing at something to get rid of some tense energies. Lmao!
I live in London in MUSWELL hill where Micheal lives just a bit further down and I hear foxes chickens ,roosters and allsorts .My neighbour actually has a mini farm in her back garden! . All the local foxes 🦊 come and scream at our back fence . They used to get in our garden and play on my kids slide! But they kept chewing up my children’s dinosaurs so we had to block them off. Now they cry to get in lol 😂 I can’t win.
As the end of the 70's I lived with my sister and parents in the country house Michael later bought, for a year! At the time it was owned by famous architect Norman Foster (You may have heard of Gherkin?). Before Michael it was also owned by Robbie Williams at one stage but I was there first - so stick it to the man Michael and Robbie! ;) ;) ;) P.S. Can't remember much about it! being only about 3 or 4!
If you live down a long winding and hidden pot holes lane/track road in the depths of Wales surrounded by farmland ( and bulls or young cows have on numerous occasions decided to invade the garden) you will know this scenario is indeed true! Sometimes you cannot see the hand in front of your face at night. The howling wind makes all manner of squeaking or thumping noises...rats invade the loft, or mice under the kitchen cabinets. Foxes and badgers and sweet bunny rabbits invade the veg patch ...once a cute looking squirrel ate holes in 3 wheelie bins and food recycling bins....roads get iced up in winter or the road turns into a river after a night of heavy rain. Bats fly around everywhere in the evening twilight and cluster flies hibernate and the come alive and invade the skylight windows we've had 2 burst pipes because mice ate through the pipe insulation in the loft. A lot of the uk is very rural or remote...it's not all lovely picturesque villages and country pubs. Trees are constantly being blown over onto the roads...huge ones! Noises are definitely scary if you are a towny and not used to it. But I wouldn't swap it now...you learn to live with nature.
Scary thing is with night and day for me is what I think I see I'm blind so unclassified what the difference is I obviously don't see th difference it's day now I think ???
Night shift Animals and Giving directions..SO TRUE,Plus I swear I leave my normal sweet cats outside,by night time it's like WTF is that noise, what are those things outside...the night shift cats lol.. you give directions by puddles,and where the local cop ate his sandwiches earlier :D and Yes the Sun goes down COMPLETELY LOL
Oh boy, he should visit Tasmania, they call them tasmanian devils because of the sounds they make at night. Early settlers thought it was demons making the noise 😂
Laughter is the best medicine they say so keep finding more funnies & we all wish you the speediest recovery. Unless you broke your leg while you were the temporary man of Michaels house 🤭😬. The I would say don’t do that again.
Hi, Storm! Couldn't resist a response to your plight... If your bed has a broken leg, stack some books under it. HA! YES! You see what I did, there? All right, I apologise. I'm really most dreadfully sorry. That was a flippant, facetious, and unhelpful thing for me to have said. I'm ashamed. Deeply, deeply ashamed... I was wrong to suggest using books go support your bed's broken leg. Old VHS boxes are way better. ;-)
The answer to the Google question of "what animal sounds like a child screaming in the woods" is a fox. I often wake up in the night thinking a woman is being attacked or a baby is screaming and when I wake up a little more I'm like "oh yeah, it's the foxes".... I live in the city but have a tiny woodland path behind my house. 😂
@@JNYC-gb1pp yeah they do too don't they! Haha but yeah the foxes sound like crying babies or screaming ladies. It's terrifying when you get woken up to that noise at like 2am cause while your still sleepy your worrying about a poor lady out there and what to do... Takes a few seconds to realise its the animals 😂
2:24 Russell Howard: Well God upsets me, he could have selected ANY noise for the Fox to make when it makes love and that's what he went with?! Raa! Raa! Russell Howard (God impression): Well I think I absolutely nailed that one.
