The Wit & Wisdom of Manly Bear

The Baron of the Bovey Basin, the King of Kingsteignton, the Knight of Newton Abbott: Manly Bear

In 2009 I began documenting the Wit & Wisdom of Manly Bear and published a Bearism every day through the year.

He was positive we wouldn't get 365 quotes out of him. Some 400 gems of his Wit & Wisdom later - Manly Bear has once again been proven wrong.

The Wit & Wisdom of Manly Bear is no longer updated daily, but quotes from the back-catalogue are still freely available. And the choicest Bearisms will still be updated through 2010.

Recent Bearisms:

I did what I could with a used snot rag and a couple of wet wipes 

My car is smeared with butter - especially on the outside 

Took me 12 hours to fly to the Maldives then I was sat tanning the guns with a coconut in my hand 

I’m not multi-cultural, I’m pure Devon pudding me 

I hate Cluedo - always too taxing for my brain. I was more of a Hungry Hippo man 

At the end of the day, I'm only play-acting 

I was an honourary Brownie once 

I've given away too much of my jolliness 

I know I do do it. Just flag it up. 

It's the whole bouncy castle thing all over again
