I live in Guernsey in the Channel Islands which is situated in the English Channel, just south west of Cherbourg, France. We are British but not part of the UK, we are part of the British Commonwealth. We have our own government, taxes and laws.
I make my videos about stuff that happens here and can be seen here in Guernsey and the other Channel Islands covering various subjects.
Sometimes funny,
Sometimes cool,
Sometimes serious.

what happenend to the music this video used to have different music?
I think they gave me a copyright strike and I was told to change it.
@@MrBooojangles do you know what the original music is I would love to find it i loved it and wanted to come back and see if i find the original
amazing. the little girl crossing the road in front of the tram brings the sceen into sharp focus, like she is breaking out from the ranks of orderly perambulation to tell us something through the expanse of time.
I think I found your song. It's Clowning Around, written by Jason Mayo and Thomas Ingleby
Ah OK wow. I never knew that. I just Googled it. This was the tape I had and it says their names on it. Thanks. www.discogs.com/release/3058746-Unknown-Artist-Music-Effects
@@MrBooojangles I really don't have 100% conformation that it is indeed it as I don't have audio, but everything lines up. I commented on a video of one of the writer's youtube channels, maybe I'll get some conformation there. But I'm 99% sure we got it.
Edit: Misread! It seems like it's solved!
My mum and dad bought in Ealing in about 1947. It was named the Queen of the suburbs, but diversity has ruined it. Become like the Wild wild East.
This brings back some memories, we still had the Broyt D600W faceloader. We run a LiuGong 950 now.

I'm writing from the future (2024). This is helping to find a missing plane 10 years ago, the NH370 flight vanished in 2014. Now the science and some smart people are using the small interference on WSPR originated by aircraft. Those old WSPR logs are been used to find interference and give a clue of NH370 place of crash. Amazing.
Wow. Good to hear. Hope they can find it now.
Used to offload sand there, and recover and launch the hydrofoils from the M&G slip ready for the season. Great memories.
This ship looks like it was styled by Pininfarina. I still don't get why they chose not to equip it with a normal smoke stack. Diesel exhaust is carcinogenic.
Diversity :))
The chopper isn't spinning though...
No, but if you read the description, you will see why.
I thought this was going to be a real siren test but NOPE WHYYY!??
If you read the description, you will see that they stopped testing it here and were only going to text people. So I couldn't record the sound any more. Thanks for watching it. 🙂
Wow ! Do you still use
It only just died on us this year. The motor burnt out and although they are easily replaced, it was the washing bowl has a pin sized hole where some rust is. We are looking at a new twin tub though. 😁
@@MrBooojangles have you scraped this one or would you be willing to sell/give? as i need parts for mine
@@MrBooojanglesthe spin hose on mine as broken and the bearings sadly
I have the same sawbench Do you know the correct belts as mine need replacing as the wrong ones are currently on there Regards john
Ah cool. I needed new belts too at one point. I didn't know the exact size, but I took one to my local garden machinery dealer and repair shop. He measured the belt and gave me three from their parts. They are probably the same as on some ride on mowers I'd guess. I presume when you say yours are wrong, you mean they are too slack, or loose. If I was you, I'd see if you can work out how much slack is in them. Probably would have to cut one and pull it tight over the pulley wheels to measure that difference. Then go to a local garden machinery shop. A tractor dealer might have them too. Then say you want belts that are x amount smaller. I'm sure they would have something. Sorry I can't really say what size they were, as it was quite a number of years ago now.
Thanks for the reply The belts look to small for the pulley, I have the main shaft off with the pulley so I can take to the belt place to measure wedge, Run string around the pulled to get inside length measurement, Is your saw bench still doing a good turn? Regards john
@user-zh2hr4tn7y ah I see. No I've not had much tree wood to cut, so it's been left in a corner now and will need some welding repairs to make it usable again. I ended up finding lots of timber from demolition sites that I was allowed to take and now we have a large enough space inside to store some of it, we use mitre saws now. I did get a few complaints from neighbours about the noise with the bench saw when I used it for too long.
like el sonido es de siren head en 1966 martes 31 de octubre
I'll send you some bondo & some gaffa tape.. i think it's still salvageable....may need someone who can weld... 😆
i litterely saw this from a car
Never stay in the darkness.
Can you make a video about excuses for being late to school?
Sound like England different
And I thought a mast and sails need a lot of maintenance..

Amazing photos!
Thanks. 🙂
@@MrBooojangles So sad she was sold, the new one will never live up to her legacy

What camera?
Panasonic DMC-FZ45 bridge camera.
Worked on these for a year in 2002, ended up as a deckhand, often alone having a cigarette at the back of the ship, lower deck. Always struck me that if you slipped off that thing it would be out of sight within 3 minutes, you'd be fucked they were big yet as fast as a jet ski.
I can quite imagine that. As a passenger I often looked at the water being forced out there and thought you'd be dead if you fell in there and I guess even if you survived being forced away at a great speed of knots from the water jets, then you wouldn't survive being pulled under and drowning in the swirling water and under current caused by its wake.
@MrBooojangles yeah, there really was a huge amount of power there, it was mesmerising to watch those huge jets of water eh?! That thing did 50 knots if I recall, for a vessel that size that's pretty quick. Let's say you fell off the back on account of a large swell and nobody realised for half an hour, that's now 25 miles between you and the ship!! They could do with some kind of proximity alarm for crew, as a deckhand you'd regularly head down alone to check on the cars in rough weather. Thanks for uploading mate, it's nice to take a trip down memory lane now, and then!
@@robroy488 well yes you're right. Maybe they could of done with some CCTV cameras at the back to watch for anyone falling overboard. These days Condor have got two different fast ferries, but they are slower then the Condor Express and Condor Vitesse and won't go in such big wave heights and always breaking down. It's all a poor ferry service now to what it was. No problem. Thanks for watching. 🙂
Whereabouts in Guernsey are the sirens located? Thank you 😊
What's the name of this song?
What's the name of the music?
No proper name. All I know is it was called Holiday. It was on a free moods music audio tape that was with an old camera magazine. Other songs were called comedy, seaside, children, horror, drama, etc, etc.
On the market... my next vessel. Destination... Antarctica.
This one is fair dinkum, although I'm not sure if they still have it displayed. On the Redland Bay water bus services in Queensland, Australia , they have a sign up the front of the cabin that says "UNCONTROLLED CHILDREN WILL BE SOLD AS SLAVES". It was there when I first went on them in 2002 and they were there when I last went on them a few years ago
I think it was a bad idea to take down the air raid sirens across the UK. I know the Emergency Alerts texts are launched now, but they only work when you're in a 4G or 5G area. If there ever is a war again we can't just rely on them because not everyone has a smartphone and not all parts of the country have 4G or 5G, we'd need air raid sirens so that everyone would be warned.
Absolutely agree. Even if they have this smartphone alert, they should have kept the sirens for those people that don't have phones or even have them turned off at the time of a real emergency or it's gone flat. It's the same here in Guernsey, like I put in the description. I bet it's all about saving money and not about saving everyone's lives. Governments always make the worst decisions on these things.
Do you have any archive footage of the hydrofoils and Herm Trident III please?
No sorry. I was only a young kid when they were around, LOL. The only thing I probably got them on is postcards.
@@MrBooojangles Thanks anyway, worth a try!
Ilove the sign outside the church witch read, "To the person who stole our portable a/c unit, hang onto it it gets "hot" where your going!"
Nice video Mr Booojangles Unfortunately Lagan got away with regering their tractors in southern Ireland despite the fact they were delivered to Guernsey new strait from the dealership unregistered. when any other company or private vehicle has to be registered in Guernsey with in three weeks if it is to be imported for the long term use in the island. They were here for more than two years. Lagan had very few locally registered vehicles in use in their large fleet of locally based Vehicles on the island .
I was told they used red diesel as well, though I never found out for sure.
@@GuernseyDayne it wouldn't surprise me
Yeah I noticed they got away with using Irish reg numbers when here. Shows it's one rule for us and another rule for others with our States.
I sent you a message on Facebook Shaun.
@@MrBooojangles Hi Mate yes I'm looking at it now thanks
MrBoojangles's voice makes me chill. So relaxing
Thanks. 😉
Ok I won’t feed the alligators 🤓 🍗🐊 AAAAAAAA
Good to siren 1:12
THEY WILL HEAR THIS A LOT IN HEBDEN BRIDGE AND TODMORDEN WHEN THE RIVERS RISE FLOOD WARNING SIRENS
its all different now i go there
Yeah and a different building too. 🙂
@@MrBooojangles did u have mr sweeney
@@Imogenï no Mr. Vivian was the worst teacher we had when I was there. He really was like Hitler. 😁
Nice! Jersey Bean here, can’t say I’m not jealous 😀 🍻
LOL. This was definately a rare moment for one of these to land and to reverse down the runway was ultra rare and impressive. Definately not something I would have wanted to miss. Do they land in Jersey when they fly over you down there?
@@MrBooojangles I’ve never know one to, but we get the Atlas from Brize Norton every now and then doing approaches, which is fun because we’re right on the flight line 🙂👌 🍻
@@KumaBean ahh cool.
Haha Nice one mate keep them coming🤣🤪😜
Thanks mate, will do. 😂 As I say in my description some are funny, some are serious. But even I don't always know what I'm going to put up next. 😂
oh dear, how sad, nevermind
Mad as a box of frogs!
😂😂😂
Savage 😁
😂
Thanks for the vid! I just came here because ZZ177 has just done 5 go arounds and now on final for a 6th attempt!
Yeah I managed to hear two of the passes very loud as they came over our house. It's always cool to see them and the other aircraft from Brize Norton. 🙂
@@MrBooojangles after the 7th attempt I have to go with they was doing touch and goes, then it flew off to Exeter, lovely plane and sound! 🤩
@@airspeed_alive I know they do instrument training when they come here too. The airport normally puts it on social media posts and a friend works up there. He was the one that actually tipped me off that the one on this video was going to reverse down the runway, or I would never have gone to see it. 😁
Oh good God All might i to wake up to that sound
What's wrong with the last sign saying: 'Wrong Way, Go Back'?
This ship was good, Stunk of diesel though, either outside on deck or inside, Proper stunk either way
