Fabulous

We need more people like this around. Good solid moral base and an even, respectful way of approaching things. My utmost respect goes to this man and I applaud him for what he's doing.

Don't underestimate your old folks, they have so much to say but are (in my opinion) ignored a bit too often.

I'd never heard of this chap untill now but I must say I found what he had to say about his life was quite interesting.
It's also fantastic to see someone of the older generation taking interest in the latest trends and actually taking the time to do something like this.

Listening to him is quite relaxing.

I like motocycles and likes the blues.....i'd wish i had a grandpa like him..

I discovered him on Saturday and I think he's really good to watch.

I've got some Werther's Original at the ready for his next video

My grandad was a cool grandad, he would surf the net looking for cheap tickets and theatre layouts for all the west end shows etc (he told me about nakednews.com from a computer mag he brought), infact he was the person that got me into computers. He knew all the dirty rugby songs, and lermicks.
Out of respect to him everytime I have a whisky (scotch) I have an abbot ale with it. Damn I miss the old boy, god rest Jack.

what does this guy actually talk about o.O

Sim0n · 16th Aug 2006, 02:38

His like story, nothing more, nothing less. So far he's talked about his education, being drafted into World War 2, coming out of the war, and starting his working life, meeting his wife, having kids. etc..etc..
