Aww mate what you said re your son really resonates with me . I have 2 daughters who I haven’t seen in 3 years. This was after having court order and several times at family court . Had a massive impact on my health . It has absolutely broken my heart and does every single day. Classic case of parental alienation 😢 Thankyou for talking about this James . Love your channel mate

That’s so very sad to read …( from a mum of two wonderful daughters whose father decided to cut them out of his life when they were teenagers) Just because they told him they didn’t like his new girlfriend, like teens would !! I’ve never understood it and will never forgive him for hurting them when they needed him most!!!

The haters should just move on and leave. Plenty of other people to watch. They strike me as lonely shits, who build themselves up by bringing others down. I love your channel .

We all love Hull buddy, very insightful video, raw and honest, top top work.

WOW! I don`t think i have ever sat and watched such a long video as this just listening to a random bloke go on about nothing in particular. The fact is, i found it engrossing, rather like a ``stand-up`` comedian with a serious side. As for LYNX AFRICA, i`m not really a fan (personal choice) ha ha. Talking about quotes, here`s one that i fully experienced a few years back. IF YOU NEED TO FIND OUT HOW MUCH YOU LOVE SOMEBODY, THEN DO NOT JUDGE BY HOW YOU FEEL WHEN YOU ARE TOGETHER BUT JUDGE BY HOW YOU FEEL WHEN YOU ARE APART. None of us knows how much we will miss someone until that someone is no longer there. So enjoyable to spend nearly one and a half hours with you James and i feel an affinity with you because your values and views on life are very similar to mine so keep up this great entertainment and see you in the next one.

That reminded me of me and my mate where riding our motorbikes up the dales and a man had closed a road off with his car I asked him what was wrong he said there's been a motorcycle accident and the lads laying in the road I said how long his he 17 foot , so we rode through, he was just laid there in the road , I said what's wrong with y , he said nothing, I said we'll get up then 😁😎

Lynx Africa. Keep on keeping it real James. I love listening to life stories. It’s a journey. Me and partner have been through very similar things. Kids struggles with exes. Variety of jobs. I was having a bit of a panic about our soon house move and mort for next 22 yrs at 44. My partner said “ what you worrying for , we ain’t gonna be here in 40 years” I’m normally very positive but we are getting older. I love the stoicism quotes. My partners a mental health nurse and said these quotes would be good to pass on. Also we are born again Christians at Pentecostal church your welcome to come along when at a loose end one Sunday The pastor has a massive utube following worldwide. Oh and we are kind 😂😂

Re parking on the zig zags outside school. I was enraged by the very same issue 30+ years ago. One very lazy woman parked every day on the zig zags. I knocked her car window one day and tried to engage her in conversation about it. She ignored me. I contacted the police re her constant disregard for childrens’ safety. I was told by the officer that I was at risk of being charged with breach of the peace! You couldn’t make it up! Love your comment “6 stone wet through!” Keep being you James. You’re a diamond!

Can't believe you are still on Lynx Africa ! Java all the way man James. Great to see your vids, down to earth honesty, and pleased you like Newcastle.

When I stopped going to my Church, an evangelical one, I was asked of cause by others in the Church why ?. My basic answer was that I had never met so many racist, homophobic self righteous people in my life in that church and could not be around them. I am a Christian but do not care or condemn others of other religious beliefs or sexual orientation. Cannot stand being around those type of people.

As a Christian, I fully agree !!. Many of our Christian friends have abandoned the Churches, because of the negative behaviour and beliefs that bring shame to us. We still believe, wholeheartedly in Jesus. We always will, but that is more reason not to attend these Churches. They give us all a bad name! We tend to meet at each others homes , to worship, and share laughs and meals. Jesus had no bias, neither should we

Absolutely, as a Christian friend said to me, " I would guess if Jesus walked into a Church today he would probably be turning over the tables as he did to the tax collectors in the temple" . Meeting for a meal on Sunday with a few Christian Friends is what has given me faith again. No judgments of others, no nasty words, just love and respect all.

Hey James & Helen, I fell across your channel a couple of months ago and I love your content (I subscribed today btw!). So I thought I'd drop you a message. Just really like your Yorkshire straight talking and honesty - although I'm a bit conflicted with my Mum being from Yorkshire and my Dad being from Lancashire. Mum always wins! I was born in Cheshire (not posh Cheshire) so I'm somewhere in-between. Keep it up. Big love.

Lynx Africa 😊 Love your channel James, rants and all, thanks James

Lynx Africa - ive just watched while eating a pizza James. Personally I love hearing stories or advice from people with life experience such as yourself. As you say, these 20 year old kids don't know anything yet. I'd rather listen to you for an hour coz it's clear you've been round the block a bit. Hearing about you previous jobs was interesting. Thanks for your efforts. Jon.

Keep doing what you are doing James, genuinely enjoy your videos. Looking forward to seeing your holiday vlogs with Helen. Liked your raw honesty in the Q&A, family struggles are never easy and they certainly don't get any easier with age. USA trip and then maybe a Lynx Africa trip after that. 👍

Fantastic and fascinating Q&A James. One KZreadr id genuinely go for a beer with and have some deep conversations.

To have a dream is a path to follow! Lynx Africa. Keep up the good work , to make someone smile is a kind thing to do !
