Chris is in Strictly Come Dancing UK at the moment. He’s dancing with Dianne, she’s Australian and his dancing and her excellent teaching they are doing brilliantly. The way they dance together you would believe Chris wasn’t blind 👍🏻😁🏴
Chris is currently astounding the Nation on Strictly , he's clever and adaptable and has a wealth of funny stories , mainly from the perspective of a blind person - but not all and he's a naturally funny guy . WILTY is always a goodie when he's on .
Definitely recommend their BAFTAs award presentation as said elsewhere, also the original Chris McCausland stories from his first episode about meeting the deaf neighbour! He's currently dancing on Strictly come Dancing, the UKs equivalent of Dancing with the Stars.
Sounds like a sinkhole or the cellar just collapsed? Either way, Chris always surprises me with how funny his stories are. And he's not above using his blindness to embarrass other contestants which can get very funny.
Love your reactions and WILTY is hard to beat. Try this one please :) Justin - David Mitchell’s ping pong pal? Olivia Colman’s neighbour? Aston’s shocked shopper?
He probably fell down the Stranger Things hole, you'd need one heck of a ladder to get down there! Cheers guys! And yes! more of your own WILTY if you have recorded more!
@@22Phantasm Yes and would I have said Strictly Come Dancing, they wouldn't have had a clue WTF I was talking about, but as they are Yanks they might understand Dancing With the Stars!
I worked in a maintenance workshop and one day the cement floor, in the corner of the workshop, collapsed revealing an extremely deep chasm. Apparently there was an underground stream running under the workshop floor, about 30 or 40 feet below the floor.. The maintenance workshop was part of a flourmill. The flourmill was six stories high, the highest building in the area, and it was struck by lightning. The lightning blew a huge chunk of the roof wall off. It landed next to our workshop with an almighty crash which made us all jump with shock. It was at this point, after both of these happened, I decided to change employers. I hated the thought that either God or the devil was offended by our factory. (This last is a lie. I didn't leave. I just said it for effect. I carried on working there for another twenty years).
Whilst I learnt Latin, German and French at school, but can speak none of them beyond a few phrases, , if I was asked to read out their alphabet, which differs from the English one, in the corresponding language then I'd have no idea. You don't know why he was trying so hard to make it sound as if it wasn't real ? Did you really say that ?
Calling emergency service from a landline gives the address, if it's from a mobile they can either use GPS or triangulation from cell towers, so I'm not sure this would be that much of a concern?
@@botticellirejectbotticelli2668 As I said even many years ago, a land line has a registered address and a mobile connects via cell towers, and therefore can be triangulated. Why does time make that any different?
@@daveofyorkshire301 Yes, but (possibly) not having all that automated means it might actually take longer to get the address that way than by telling it over the phone, even if you have to go outside andread the name of the street... by spelling each letter one by one... which a foreign person spelled out for you... Well, maybe not, but, in the moment, they were already doing it, so...
@@jeanackle Do you think the network companies haven't had the technology and ability from the beginning? The position of each tower and the signal strength and quality enables simple triangulation. Mathematically that's just a basic calculation that in guessing has been available from the start to aid in identifying technical faults. If they do, what makes you think the authorities and emergency services didn't have access?
@@daveofyorkshire301 Short answer: Bureacracy. The calculation is basic IF they jave the data available at an instant. We currently do. I could text you my current coordinates right now, from my phone, no need to contact anyone for that. I definitely couldn't 20 years ago. You seem to presume the emergency services have permanent and immediate access to the data from all phone companies. I don't actually know, but I very much doubt it. Many services often need permission fo be given to you to access data, even if it would make sense for them to have them. As an example, here in Portugal, if you need to force entry into a house where someone in distress can not open the door themselves, typically it's the Firefighters who do that, BUT only with the permission of the Police. The Police themselves are not given permission to force entry themselves, without suspicion of crime. So, both need to be there. It makes no sense, but that's how it is. On the technical side of things, over 15 years ago, I was a door to door salesman of communication services (phone, cable TV, etc) and I met a couple who had a "landline" phone, which was really a mobile phone, which was locked to operate only within the confines of their home. This was done by triangulation via the towers that transmited the signals. But this area they lived on was rather remte, and the towers were spread apart by quite a large distance. So, in fact, they walked all over town with their "landline" phone (with a much lower tarif than with a "proper" mobile phone). This would not happen in the (considerably larger) town I lived in, because there, there were more towers, and they were much closer together (to deal with the larger amount of traffic). TL,DR: Currently, giving your location from your phone is trivial. 20 years ago, bureaucracy, poorer technical structures, data collection and transmission, even (possibly) ignorance from the emergency services staff, might have made the person telling the address a much easier, and quicker, way to convey the information.
This sadly is what the uk has come to - giving comedy slots to undeserving people because of their disability, race, or gender. This guy's stand-up is appalling!
Yeah, it's all I see these days. I mean, for fu*ks sake, everywhere I look all I see are the sightless trying to be funny and the deaf not getting it. It's just wokeism gone mad, I'd say, if I had the power of speech. I'll let you get back to the Daily Mail, now.

Yes, Chris and his deaf neighbour is definitely the next one to watch! Gold!
Chris is currently astounding the Nation on Strictly , he's clever and adaptable and has a wealth of funny stories , mainly from the perspective of a blind person - but not all and he's a naturally funny guy . WILTY is always a goodie when he's on .
It's baffling what he does on Strictly.
It's well worth watching Chris McCausland and Lee Mack presenting a BAFTA award. Very funny.
Definitely recommend their BAFTAs award presentation as said elsewhere, also the original Chris McCausland stories from his first episode about meeting the deaf neighbour! He's currently dancing on Strictly come Dancing, the UKs equivalent of Dancing with the Stars.
He is brilliant and each week use one of my free, three votes online for him.
Chris is killing it on the british show, syrictly come dancing. He's amazing
"I don't know why he was tyring so hard to make it seem like it wasn't real"
You remember the premise of the game, right?
I have seen Chris live and he is one of few comedians who has actually made me laugh out loud and will see him perform again next year.
Chris has also been on 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown and did very well, in addition to being funny.
Seen Chris in the Liverpool philharmonic last year, very funny doing stand up
Chris has been on a couple times and he's always good
he talked in a recent Rob Brydon podcast about it. It was the first panel show that would invite him and it opened a lot of (TV) doors.

Lee and Chris are starring in a Xmas film this year called ‘bad tidings’
You must watch his neighbour story!
I loved this story so much when I first heard it. Very Good Reactions.
He probably fell down the Stranger Things hole, you'd need one heck of a ladder to get down there!
Cheers guys! And yes! more of your own WILTY if you have recorded more!
Chris is now on Dancing With the Stars paired with Australian born Dianne Buswell, and they are doing amazing.
I hoped he wouldn't get the sympathy votes/scores, but he doesn't need them!
It's called 'Strictly Come Dancing'. The yanks copied the format but called it 'Dancing With the Stars.' Be accurate and show respect.

He's blind, he couldn't see what the hole was for.
We get that. That wasn’t what we were saying. We were just curious if anyone had ever told him eventually
I can’t understand if she didn’t speak English how did she know that sounds the letters made?
I can understand her writing, the letters on his hand
You two have the sense of humour of a housebrick
