The world needs more people like you 👍

I never usually comment but I watch you all the time, you are so genuine I just wish there were more people like you! And of course the lovely Helen, keep on keeping on. I am an artist and was going to start my own KZfaq channel but at 79 I don’t think people want to see this old face 😂😂😂

I haven't watched this yet but very concerned for you mate. Why do you feel you have to put things out you don't want to? Don't be pressured into anything mate. Should all be your choice and you alone. I heard of other people making themselves ill over this. Remember its always YOU first my friend. Look after yourself buddy, much love!

Look mate, before I even watch this vlog - you do not have to answer to anyone for anything. Just keep doing what you 2 do - it means a lot to some of us. Oh you are on one today - you could be me lol. Lynx Africa ya daft lad.

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

I'm a road sweeper in a car park and I regularly get rubbish from mcds dumped as well as full nappies!!!!!!

haters are only the ones that can not do what you do so carry on doing what you do you and helen are great together

Lynx Africa! Thank you, so, so very much for all you do and say, you are the perfect antidote to all the negativity, mistrust, and criticism which unfortunately draws a mind-bogglingly huge audience, please keep on reminding us that the world is full of decent, warm, lovely people.

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 .

That’s what I love about Amatuer Radio, No Politics, No Religion, No Insightment. We all love your channel because there’s none of that stuff. Good honest banter and chat, with lovely travel blogs. You are who you are and we’ve met you both.

Don't use any of these social media websites such as twitter, cant be bothered 😂 I totally agree with you James. A good moan does you good !! I like to make my own mind up ❤

James- about your son- 19 is very young, give him time. Keep your heart open & if possible, let him know you're open to connecting whenever he's ready. He will get it, even if it's not obvious or takes time. ❤

Love your rants can't beat a good old rant .An absolute brilliant Vlog James as always 😁

Thanks for the shout out - glad it was interrupted by a motorcycle 😂

Love your honesty about your life ,100k subs won't be long 👍

Absolutely brilliant mate loved every second keep up the good work. Nowt like a rant my friend. Love your channel.❤

Ignore the haters you will always get them in real life or online so long as you dont hate yourself or people that care about you that's all that matters

Hi. Im a 70 year old lady. I have 2 sons. And they have turned against me ,only because i have different beliefs than them. My heart is broken. Im totally alone. Feel worthless. Love your vlogs though.❤❤

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!

Thank you for sharing with us James 👍

Awww love you're vlogs James you and Helen make a lovely couple ❤

1hr 22mins. You really are treating us (my favourite videos are your talking ones)

I love your rants keep doing your own stuff when your out and about coz we love watching all your videos and love when it’s you and Helen keep doing what your doing x

Enjoyed your latest, my wife and myself enjoy watching your trips out and banter, keep it up and we'll keep on tuning in James. Take care mate! Lynx africa

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.

OMG I'm only at 3.58 and its cracking me up :) You wait till your nearly 70! Brilliant... now I'll continue to watch the rest.

The going the gym is definitely doing you good. I can see your triceps showing proud.💪 Keep happy. Absolutely loved hearing your stories. Take care 👍

Very entertaining, James! 👏👏 Helen with her: ‘Ooohh, look at this’! Very funny! Your blogs are always alternately funny and sad! A good balanced content even when just discussing things in your life!

Well done for being so open about everything 🙂

Sorry about your son, sounds like his mum has a lot to do with this, hope it works out in the end!❤️❤️

Lynx Africa ftw! I like the principal of Stoicism. I think I share the philosophy, as I always say there's no point worrying about something, until there's actually something to worry about. Great video James, very honest and open and I hope you and your son can reconnect.

Lynx Africa! Thanks for the rambling and insights, so interesting to hear more about your background and fascinating employment history. You give off a strong aura of contentment and inner confidence, which has clearly been earned and acquired from your many life experiences. This was a lot like sitting in a pub and chatting with a good friend, only thing missing was a good beer! Keep up the great content and thank you again for sharing so many things that are close to your heart.

Great stuff. Keep it up. Just been to Alnwick, Berwick and Newcastle. Great places to visit.

Great Video James You and Helen are the best LYNX AFRICA 😂

I’m proud to be from Sheffield although I left when I was 17 and have now lived in Manchester 54 years! I find you two most interesting and I’m hooked! Me and the other half have a campervan and taking me back to Eden Camp was fun, we had a great day there@ few years ago!

Great vlog mate , love your rants and enjoyed a snap shot of your life ! Chins up and keep them coming ! Lynx Africa all day long !!

Lynx Africa😂 brilliant as usual pal.

I’ve watched a few of your vlogs,very good,you come across very genuine. I still can’t believe people make a living from this,it’s totally bizarre.

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 😂😂

Great video and show of real resilience James, inspiring and fair play to you

Ranting is an age thing its normal to have a rant

I have a Spanish son now 20 lives in Madrid , if I could have known the future I would have spent 10p that night in Ibiza 21 years ago 😁😎

Loved your career history . So honest and from the heart . You’re a top bloke , completely authentic 😊

Lynx Africa! A very informative video, showing how you started out, went to dizzying heights, fell from grace and then found a happy middle. Keep going James, you'll soon have your own TV series!

100% with you on the gym thing. Young lads in my gym spend more time looking in the mirror or on their phones than working out, does my head in, that and the entitled that load up machines and dont unload when finished 😡

Your school reports sound better than mine. I hated school, although I did pretty well, my geography teacher wrote "Sets himself a low standard and fails to achieve it". Still proud of that one and I got a C, which was my lowest grade, so up yours Mr Irwin 🤣

Lynx Africa! Great content James! Love the stoicism and it is something I have always been interested in and like the way you've incorporated it into your life. When I watch you I think of this - Epictetus said, 'The chief task in life is simply this: to identify and separate matters so that I can say clearly to myself which are externals not under my control, and which have to do with the choices I actually control.' Keep up the great work James and Helen 😊

You are a good man with a big heart don’t stop saying what you think.lynx Africa

We need you. Get in there, tell them and acct on it. Flex. Be the real the real truth.

My old man thinks he’s aged well,he should wear his glasses more!! 😂😂 Lynx Africa 😉

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

Bloody ell mate that was stoick! Lynx Africa all day long Keep doing what you are doing mate all the best from a scouse bro!

I gotta hand it to you James that's a very good photo of you with hair......

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 😁😎

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.

very interesting watch mate. love your attitude, you have lived numerous lives, have a great attitude, all the best for the future

I agree with everything you said at the beginning of your video. Unfortunately this country is becoming a lawless society and nobody gives a damn. "Lynx Africa"

The magic word is bollox Lynx 😂😂😂😂😂 Seeee theeeee

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. 👍

I love you and Helen and your vlogs. You make me and my partner laugh. Keep doing what you do xx

James I don’t know how anyone could hate you i think your ever so funny even when your having a rant/moan, but I’m a Yorkshire lass so I get you 💙 Lynx Africa

We love Benidorm and the old Town Tapas bars Oliver’s bar Pig and Whistle many others

Lynx Africa James lovely vlog you opened up about a lot of personal stuff which takes a lot to do. Have watched all your vlogs and love them all. ❤️

Great rant James, keep it up, agree with everything you said. ❤

Would you say you were more of a Minstrel than an M n M? Videos a Treet James. Love a good moan, and a cavalier attitude 😉

0:33 People that park in disabled bays? What have the disabled done to you mate? 😂

Lynx Africa. I watched the whole thing and enjoy your ramblings from time to time along with the travel videos. It’s like listening to a friend. I hope that one day you can have a good relationship with all the people in your life especially your son.

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.

Mark im in Beni now sounds like you both need a holiday bruv. Not downplaying your justified rant btw but you worry about the shit you can change but not the shit you cant.

If you need some help being a parking vigilante let me know.

Thanks for replying to my question about your dreams for the future. Your reply brought a tear to my eye. I hope your hopes and wishes come true x P.S. Lynx Africa.

This is great James, love your honesty. A brilliant rant and you are so right about everything you say❤ If you go anywhere near Bournemouth when you are down south, highly recommend the Russell Coates museum on the sea front its outstanding, like stepping back in time.

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.

Really enjoyed your rant at the start and like you I’m sick of politics that’s why we’re voting Reform.

Lynx Africa, hi James I absolutely love your channel and have watched every single one of your videos, all the best to you and Helen, keep up the good work from a fellow Barnsley lad 👍🏻

'I just normally wipe my knives and forks on a wet wipe' haaha this tickled me, just brilliant, 🤣🤣 🤣 loving all the videos I'm catching up with 🍻 Lynx Africa 😜

You have to vote Reform if you want this country to change for the better

Lynx Africa. Keep on doing what you do. We love it! Ken and Bridget

Hi James I did watch the vlog all the way through and To prove it. Linx Africa. 😊 Really enjoyed it thank you. Plus you mentioned my comment about you 10 years ago. It’s good to talk, you kept me company for an hour plus. 🥰 looking forward to your next one. Take care. ❤

Hi James just watched your video, I was feeling a bit down today but this cheered my up no end, love all your videos but this one was one of your best, thank you so much a lot of it hit home to me thank you for being so honest, love you and Helen. O and Lynx Africa 😅thanks again.

Lynx Africa ! Great ramble James and I agree 100% with you.

Love your channel, you so remind me of my son you could do a double act , your mannerisms and a lot of your beliefs too , just honest and true keep going James love to watch your blogs .

We love all your videos James, and thank you for not going the route of 'negative/click/rage bait' like a lot of stuff found online these days. Some of those fake personas/characters can absolutely bring short-term gains, but it's down-to-earth people like yourself which eventually prevail in the long run. 🙏 And speaking of your vids, me and my dad have been to Brid loads of times over the years, but we never knew about the old town until seeing your video. Next time we go, we're gonna visit/discover those old pubs and spend a whole day there like you mentioned ❤ I'll make sure to pack my Lynx Africa gift set too! 😂

So true. What is the point of raking over the past. We don’t get enough time to do things we love and makes us happy. I’m sure not going to waste my precious time looking over the past that you cannot even change ❤

Loved this waffling video! Lynx Africa! You make me smile!

Lynx Africa. I enjoy your vlogs. This gave your subscribers a bit of an insight into who you are. Keep up the good work.

How funny you are talking about Otley, we are going soon, & to The Black Bull, it’s where the mother-in-law lives. Great vid as usual, can’t wait to see yr next Spanish adventure. Lucy xx

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.

Lynx Africa! Myself and hubby absolutely love watching you guys. ❤

Totally agree with you James!! I'll look forward to the calling out, hope you film them too!

Well lynx Africa enjoyed your chatty video . Learnt a lot about your life and the wisdom you’ve gained along the way. All the best 🎉

Absolutely love this mate. Proper putting yourself out there. Glad you love my Beautiful city of Liverpool. We do have Great pubs. 😊

I love your rants, sometimes i need a soap box in Liverpool to rant on haha. love you and Helen would love to bump into you sometime keep going never miss any of your blogs Bren

Lynx Africa. James, my partner and I visited Liverpool this weekend and went to the majority of places you went to in your flog. Thanks!

Just listened to your comments about your son. I am in exactly the same position as you. Ive not seen my daughter for the last 5 years and don’t know what I’ve done wrong. I’ve also got a grandson that I doubt I’ll ever see. Chin up pal great videos, our weekly viewing especially with your videos with Helen, she reminds me so much of my Mrs 😊

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

Love you both, linkafrica. Good luck for the future.

Thanks for the honesty, can tell you are a trustworthy person... a rarity theses days. Looking forward to USA vlogs and anywhere else you go, entertaining and pure escapism . Cheers 👍

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 !

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