I visited Quarr Abbey the other day and I saw a monk cooking chips. Are you a Fryer ? I quipped . No ! he replied I am a Chip Monk .....the old ones are not necessarily the best 🤪
The fruit came first. Before its import from Europe (Spain and Portugal) the colour was considered a shade of red. This is why Robins are known as "Redbrest" even though their feathers are clearly orange. When the fruit came along we took the name, naranja, anglicised it, then gradually things that colour were described with its name.
I really enjoyed this video. Thank you, Marek! The Pitt artists pens are great. And lemon marmalade sounds delicious. And the abbey was beautiful and Martin Simon is a silly. And you need a blue emoji. And in the 80s my primary school mate had short hair but a very, long, thin braid down his back.
I've always assumed Quarr was pronounced as 'Cor' (ideally in the manner of Bernard Breslaw each time he saw Babs Windsor). I remember Graham from school days, good to see him after so many years! Well done for surviving a Martin Simon walk and not meeting any psychopathic cows.
The popular haircut for a while when I was at school was the 'wedge', sort of medium length hair undercut with a number 3 razor then cut in a bowl shape. I had it cos Nigel Jemson had one, playing for Nottingham Forest. What a time to be alive...
So sorry about the passing of your friend. Oh blimey, we all immediately recognised the starting off point and end of your walk. We had a meal in The Sloop Inn before getting our Ferry on our last day. We had a carvery which was nice but their veggie option was questionable-I just got two extra yorkshire puddings. Haha!
Excellent taste in pens there, Graham! I have them in black and sepia and I think they're probably the best pens I've ever bought. I must have had the sepia ones for at least 15 years, and they're still going strong!
I want to hear more fruit based questions from Graham. This whole episode was worth it just for the medieval jam at the end. I thank you both for the funnies
Cracking walk that one Marek. Nice to meet Graham too. Firestone Copse looks amazing. We're holidaying in St Helens again next year, so that'll be on our list of places to visit. I left School in 1987, so the Mullet hair cut was around then. I remember the 'Side-Burns' had to be trimmed to be above the ears. 😳 I seem to remember some lads used to have the back of their hair made curly. Never really understood that one. 😄 Quarr Abbey is beautiful. We try & go each time we come to the isle. We always use the Cafe, & always make a purchase in the shop as a sign of respect & gratefulness for free entry. That Sunglasses Marek is a nasty piece of work. Don't let him bully you. Tell him to 'Sod Off'. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😃👍 Take it easy Cool Dude. Love your channel.
My favourite place to chill with a coffee & the piggies🐷🐖. But I've not been to Firestone Copse so will put that on the list to do as the trees look amazing. Rod Stewart haircuts all round.✂ Made my boyfriend have one. Only Bananaman (love him💛) is allowed to slip on Banana skins. Never heard such a wonderful rendition of Greensleeves in my life.🎵 Loving the keyrings. In all the times I've been to the Abbey I have NEVER once bumped into a Monk (true). Where are they hiding? Are they really there?x J x
@@cdwc The Mystery of the Disappearing Monk continues.... I went on line to get a keyring & they had all gone. The elusive Monk Marek has gone into hiding with the Quarr Abbey ones. Drat. x J x
Really enjoy your videos mate, have you any plans to do some walks up north in the future? Lake district and Yorkshire Dale's in particular have some beauties 😁
Lots of trees on this walk. Never been to Quarr Abbey but looks worth a visit. Was at the sloop for dinner a couple of weeks back. Nice to see new Marek key-rings. Are there going to be any Christmas Marek.
Great watch again Marek .. Graham's questions were colourful too .. The Isle of wight sure is nice looking countryside .. With hair long and scruffy and dodging any and every demand request to "get that hair cut" .. In my mind a cool dude hair-do .. The girls used to smile at me or were they laughing Thank You Marek for this Smile on me Dial .
I also was not sure what they were all called. But then I noticed a smiley face to the right as you're writing in the comment box. If you hit the smiley face they all pop up.
🎸 Bowie's Ziggy Stardust ⚡barnet was popular with the Cool Dudes my Sch 😎. Today this would be considered extreme 😂. Your art work is fabulous 🎨🖌️ Staying 😎👍🏻 Dudes.
It looked like a very pleasant walk despite its dodgy origins. I asked our new Lord and Mistress ChatGPT which came first, the colour orange or the fruit. She says it's the fruit which has been cultivated for thousands of years, starting in S.E. Asia. Narenj was the word in Arabic, then pomme d'orenge in French...then one thing led to another. Tell Graham to do his own research next time. Honestly!
@@cdwc If you do decide to go for the final battle option it needs to be at the Reichenbach Falls, or whatever the equivalent is on the Isle of Wight. May be the Mouth of Hell in Blackgang Chine.
Lynx must have made millions in the late eighties early nineties. My parents bought me an aftershave called ‘Mandate’ when I was about 12. I saved it for special occasions - school discos. I didn’t need to shave until I was about 17. Ha.
Haircuts when I was in school were all either juggalo or jersey shore style. Lol Tiny little braids all over the head(but not in like the traditional way, like they call them spider dreads and they purposely try to make them look like spider legs) or a now classic long on one side short on the other, uhhh let's see...the pompadour was just coming back as I left school. The jersey shore hair is literally like, the 60s beehive but slightly smaller, usually with a head band or something and then long otherwise. One of my least favourite hair styles.
I can't believe you let sunglasses Marek do the end of the walk summary! He was very well behaved though I must admit. Or...did you just borrow his sunglasses...?
The haircuts that were popular when I was at school was shoulder length long hair like the heavy metal rockers have, but my step dad hated it and said I looked like a girl, those were the rebellious days
I’m so sorry for your loss Marek. This might bring a small amount of cheer to you, I have come up with a great money making idea for you. Cool Dude keyring with a bushranger outfit on. Sales will be mental! Mental! And apparently I do know the orange answer. Because an orange was invented by the Chinese. Cross of a mandarin and pomelo. So perhaps the colour orange was called mandarin. Then they invented the orange and decided not to call it a Manpom.
@@cdwc maybe the question Graham asked should have been how does the mandarin feel about the orange stealing it’s colour. Pretty pissed off I would think!
Martin Simons is still alive. Hes 93. I wonder if hes aware of your channel? Please please please try and make contact and do an interview or something 😂
Bowl cuts, curtains and new romantic hair styles were popular when I was at school. I settled on a crew cut in 1992 and have kept it ever since. Graham seems like a decent bloke. Nice one cool dudes
I cut my hair short when I was 22 and it never grew back. I am still on my second pair of clippers in 25 years. Total haircut cost £40 (plus electricity)
It was a dream come true meeting Sunglasses Marek, what a guy, what a legend
Much better than excellent dudes walking channel.
I visited Quarr Abbey the other day and I saw a monk cooking chips. Are you a Fryer ? I quipped . No ! he replied I am a Chip Monk .....the old ones are not necessarily the best 🤪
LOL :)
This is a great bad joke. (I knew Michael White would like it)
😂 made me chuckle that did..... and it made me want chips 😮😂

That sounds like a bad hair cut. The worst is probably the rats tail you see on old men who are trying to preserve their long hair.
@@cdwcperhaps they're wizards, pathetic ones
It's the journey not the destination. Thanks for being a cool dude and sharing your journeys.

Graham has spent all his years since school practicing Greensleeves on his guitar.
@@cdwc I think Henry VIII would be very impressed with his magnificent effort.
What a gorgeous walk, and from Martin "Walker Killer" Simon!
He must have had an off day. Ha.

Had a latté today from Drew’s Brew’s..........a very tasty beverage. NIce one 👍
Excellent. It is great to support Drew!
Inspirational take on Green Sleeves, actually makes me feel quite emotional.
We have just been booked for Last Night of the Proms 2024
@@cdwc with such a rare talent as yours it would be waisted if you didn't!

You have convinced me to get some of the sepia ones.
You should get a badge for completing Martin Simons book, "I survived Walk! the Isle of Wight"
It should be a gold medal.
I want to hear more fruit based questions from Graham. This whole episode was worth it just for the medieval jam at the end. I thank you both for the funnies
He should do a spin off channel.
Wow! Why does your rendition of green sleeves remind me of that old tv program crossroads 🤔 weird ✌👍
It sounded like Benny on guitar.
@@cdwc lol in his benny hat
also.....big fan of curly haired Marek!
Previously in Old English, the colour orange had been called yellow-red (“geoluhread”).
This is an excellent fact cool dude
I was born in the sixties I've seen every haircut ever but the punks were cool 😎
Punk hair cuts were excellent.
What a lovely walk - the woods were so lovely and not scary in the slightest!
You had to be there.
Orange came from a Spanish word "naranja", which in itself, has its origins in Sanskrit. The colour orange was, subsequently named after the fruit.
Naranja has a much better sound. Maybe as its a bit like ‘Ninja’.
Done that walk, lucky with the mud!

I would love to go at some point. Fingers crossed I will get some more members to fund bigger trips. The price of Air BnBs has gone through the roof.
Quarr Abbey is one of my favourite places especially the ruins of the old abbey, did you see he four legged oak tree?
As always, lovely to see the outdoor painting! I might do some this weekend with the nice weather…
I think it is one of the most relaxing things you can do. Look forward to seeing what you paint cool dude.
😊

There will be some more Xmas ones but unlike the shops they won’t be out for a couple of months.
I’ll add it to Jan’s Christmas list 🤫
I had liberty spikes in high school. I used Elmer’s glue to ensure rigidity.
I will have to Google that haircut

Cool my dood
I had a mullet...
I also got chased from Quarr Abbey by the monks for scrumping from their orchard... They all had monk cut hair styles.
I wish I could see a monk run.
@@cdwc if you go scrumping there, you'll see them run....
Holy sow, surely.
Ha. I can’t be lightning quick all the time.
Wootton yay, so close to my family home
Got a week off soon, so look forward to trying this walk and frequenting Cool Dude Drew's establishment
I had an iced cappuccino it was very good.

Marek have you considered writing a novel about your epic conflict with Martin Simon, culminating with a fatal battle at the end of the final walk?
I don’t want to promote Martin Simon anymore than necessary.
@@cdwc If you do decide to go for the final battle option it needs to be at the Reichenbach Falls, or whatever the equivalent is on the Isle of Wight. May be the Mouth of Hell in Blackgang Chine.
All the lads at school had curtain haircuts and most likely caused the hole in the ozone layer with over use of Lynx Africa 😂
Lynx must have made millions in the late eighties early nineties. My parents bought me an aftershave called ‘Mandate’ when I was about 12. I saved it for special occasions - school discos. I didn’t need to shave until I was about 17. Ha.
