My Heroes – Where Are They?

Posted on by

Whatever happened to the Heroes….

Do you have Heroes?
No not the chocolates,
Or the album by David Bowie,
Heroes as in people you look up to, want to emulate,
Role models of how to conduct yourself.

My hero as a nipper was Muhammad Ali,
A black Muslim.

Then I added Evel Knievel .
The Montana stunt rider who broke his bones for our entertainment.

Then came John Noakes,
Northern, game little fucker, funny, outdoors with Shep,
He had it sussed.

Then as a teenager Johnny Rotten, sarcastic, determined, sneering, original.

Then…….nowt.

No more heroes anymore,
Indeed!
No one inspired me
No one impressed me
No one shook the world
All useless!

A man should have Heroes.
A target to strive for,

I’m gonna be heavyweight champion of the world

I’m gonna jump 10 double decker buses

    • Cheers DKC,
      No mate.
      I only use ISAC!
      Probably a relativešŸ˜€

  2. Good nom Miserable!

    Heroes of yesteryear have been replaced with social media influencers, illiterate rappers and cunts off shite like Love Island, usually peddling some kind of victimhood to make them seem more interesting and relatable. Bland sterile puppets who all look and sound the same.

  3. My hero is Captain Bligh of the HMS Bounty, a man who I always thought was more sinned against than sinning.

    The more I see wankers like the flannel bloomered old virgins from Care for Calais, the Labour nancy boys, Dominic Grieve (more or less the same thing) Kweer “integrity” Starmer , shady used car salesman lookelikee Ed Davey, Jeremy Cunt – the more I think the Captain’s remedy was the best – a good and extended thrashing from the highest yard arm in the British Navy.

  4. My hero was Hiroo Onoda…even though I detest Japs. I think it was his sheer obstinacy that appealed. He refused to surrender when The War ended and spent the best part of the next 30 years hiding in the jungle taking pot-shots at villagers and interfering busybodies.
    Hard not to admire such an unreasonable,mental Cunt.

  5. Very well done indeed MNC.

    I concur,any role models or heroes are from a bygone age.

    A couple of mine would be Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery and also the original volunteers who formed the Special Air Service.

    Looking for anyone now to inspire seems a bit like rooting through a skip behind a kebab house in Bradford.

    Super.

    • And Orde Wingate – can you imagine anyone doing that now? How have we become such a fucking useless nation from then?

  7. Morning Mis, morning all.

    I think the state we have got into now where someone hears a hurty word, has an attack of the vapours and then sues successfully for their hurt feelings is the logical conclusion to the constantly growing risk aversion in society. Not sure if there’s any fix short of the whole sclerotic game grinding to a standstill.
    But chin up, there’s hope. Have you seen the rate those guys are getting round the TT course ?

    • And, alas, the rate at which the TT course is going through guys…5 dead already this year alone.
      Thank fuck the Isle of Man is self-governing as there simply isn’t any way to make the races safer.

      • TtCE@ – Check out Guy Martin crashing in a fireball at the TT and his subsequent hospital bed interview – the word “hero” definitely springs to mind!
        Lost a mate at the TT – that place is built on the bones of the bravest.

  8. Brigadier General REH Dyer, Edward Colston and sootie Efunroye Tinubu . Smuts, Bomber Harris and JK Rowling.

  9. From Porridge with Ronnie Barker : you have to look for little Victories. So we may be struggling to find heroes these days, but you can raise a glass to someone like Elton Musk when he pisses off the wokies by trying to buy twitter.

  13. Lilly Mong for her tireless defense of minorities and exposing the evils of racist Britain.

    Only joking.

    Churchill, Einstein and Orwell.

    Churchill for having the courage of his convictions and for fighting back when everyone else was telling him to appease Hitler and negotiate a deal.

    Einstein for his remarkable intellect and his fearlessness in promoting a theory which everyone else regarded as madness because it flew in the face of all accepted scientific knowledge and even basic common sense.

    Orwell for his defense of freedom and refusing to kowtow to the trendy communist shibboleths of his day.

    Will we see their like again? No sign of it at present.

    • Einstein also deserves our respect for having Miss Monroe hanging off the end of his cockšŸ‘

  14. Wrote a song about exactly this subject,45 years ago now !.Wonder if Our Price have any copies left .

  15. Some crackers on herešŸ‘
    A lot of military ones understandably.

    Another one of mine was that farmer who refuses to move for the M63,
    Slott hall farm, and the motorway goes round him šŸ˜

    Stubborn, stands up to the establishment, etc

    I picked my lad up once from Hull university and we argued about it.

    I was for the farmer standing up for himself
    My lad said he was a idiot standing in the way of progress.

    It became quite heated!
    I had to calm my breathing before I threw the smarmy little know-it-all out on the Moors…

  16. Simon West
    Chris Bonington
    Niki Lauda
    Maggie Thatcher
    William Wilberforce

    …These are some of my heroes for one reason or another. But of course these days a definition of a “hero” is some 2nd rate footballer who played 10 minutes for Blackpool and telling the world “I am gay. Ain’t I brave!?”

  17. Keith Floyd and Eric Cantona. Both mad and didnā€™t/donā€™t give a fuck.
    Perfect role models.

  18. T.E Lawrence. Not only for his exploits against the filthy fucking Turks. He went on to help develop a fast rescue boat for airmen who ditched. He never got to see it in action but saved a lot of lives. Still one on the south coast.

    Max woosnam. All round sportsman back in the day. Tennis, cricket, football and more at the highest level and a bit of a celeb. Charlie Chaplin fancied himself as a bit of a table tennis champ and challenged him to a game. Max beat him using a butter knife and short arse Charlie got the right hump so max slung him in the swimming pool.
    He went on to be the chairman of ICI.
    Well worth reading his book

  21. Just to add that most of the names here are true legends. Not some deliveroo cunt bringing nappies

  22. Admiral Lord Nelson
    Elizabeth The First
    Bomber Harris
    Boudicca
    Good nom šŸ‘

    • JTC@ – Afternoon JTC – the entire garrison at Rourkes Drift – those fuzzy wuzzies didn’t like it up ’em! šŸ˜€šŸ‘ā˜ 
      As every good Englishman knows, the only way to deal with uppity foreigners is by introducing them to the business end of a well honed bayonet!

  23. Fred Dibnah – Balls of steel and as Northern as they come.
    (Not that it made me want to climb 200 ft chimneys with just rickety ladders and a flat cap)

    Special mention for John Noakes climbing to the top of Nelson’s column on Blue Peter back in the day.

    Fuck that.

    • And not once during that heroic ascent did Noakes give us his views on structural racism, the evils of Whitey or Brexit. Truly the golden age of BBC childrenā€™s television.

  24. Dr/Pastor Martin Ssempa is a modern day hero (‘Gays, dey eat da poo poo.”)

  25. Heroes tend to be for young people, and I’m sure the young people of today have plenty, but they’d be the sort of cunts who make the average ISACer’s piss boil over, so I won’t cite any examples as I wouldn’t want to be responsible for dangerously raising the collective blood pressure so early on a Sunday morning. When I was young most of my heroes were probably considered cunts by my parents.

  26. Phillip Schofield is the epitome of the modern day hero.

    I can see it now in a thousand years time.

    “Phillip the Brave”

    “Sir Phillip”

  27. There’s plenty to choose from, till recently.

    That yank who got stuck rock climbing and cut his own arm off with a penknife (Aaron Ralston)

    That woman who ran to save her dog and punched a bear in the face,

    People are capable of selfless acts of incredible bravery,
    Can overcome incredible odds to stand triumphant and shout “FUCK YOU!!’
    At the world.

    Just dont see it as much?

  28. Heroā€™s are everywhere MNC, donā€™t you watch the News FFS!

    NHS has 1/2 million of them donā€™t you know.

    According to Al-BBESTAN people manning food banks are heroā€™s too.

    Have you been living under a stone!

  29. There’s a modern day hero, who’s stood up to Stoltenberg & Biden and all the other corrupt warmongers in NATO. You’ll see it differently when the dust settles and it becomes obvious to all of us, presently deluded by western propaganda.

  30. Oliver Cromwell
    Sir Ranulph Feinnes
    Bobby Moore
    Clint Eastwood
    The unknown ā€œtank protesterā€ at Tianamen square
    Joe Satriani
    Numerous cancer surgeons
    People prepared to publicly question ā€œthe narrativeā€

    Lots of heroes šŸ‘
