Life in my 80th year

[rcriddell]

still enjoy your videos.

[0811232k]

It's nothing to do with ur age Peter! It's to do with your great knowledge and experiences that everyone likes! and your charm in telling stories! xoxoxoxox

[blueterrior]

i hope i'm as wonderful as you are when i'm 80

[Ronniedasmoker]

respect sir

[homer424]

If I lived in England I'd come hang out with you! My favorite thing is to sit and have lunch with my grandmother(she is 83-I care for her full time) or go with her to the senior center and play cards with her friends. It may be "corny" to some but I love it.

[joel8577]

close friends its the internet man come on you dont really know them like a little kid sayin that i got a friend in u.s.a but you dont really you never seen them why dont you go out and not say on you computer allllll day and go out you dont have to reply to everyones messages

[joel8577]

traffic is bad in most places :S

[megansspark]

lol about the pretty girl. I think your fame is deserved, because you are a nice man. But isn't it strange days when someone reaching our for friendship makes such a media stir? I hope others of all ages follow the example. Nice song too

[funeralmonkey]

It's not just because of your age. It is because of your genuine heart and your perspective that makes people drawn to you. You are doing everyone a service by lending your voice to us.

[joel8577]

lol

[Ptenle]

did you ever learn to respect your elders? i guess if we all are lucky you wont live to half of 80.

[thomasbobs16]

what the hell is wrong with you??

[Mikel4321]

It's not because of your age. It was because of the amount of visitors you were getting. The age thing just added a spin to their stories.

[dorothyolive]

Hi Peter, I had to let you know that because of the beautiful song at the end of this vid, yesterday I went out and bought a Nina Simone CD. I have been listening to that song thru this vid and thought it might be easier to pop in my own CD. Thanks for introducing me to Ms. Simone's music. Love to you, Dorothy ps the song sounds especially moving while I'm cruising in my car.

[driscollnh]

You are a brave, honest person to permit your admirers to have such a candid peek into your everyday life--medications, electric scooter, non-house cleaning, details about your 1957 bungalow, and the whole works. You have a gift for conveying volumes in just a few words. Your English enunciation is "perfect," and I wish mine were as good as yours is. Are you, by any chance, a believer in and follower of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ?

[justwant2bhappy]

You are such a nice sweet guy. I love what you are doing.

[cvjucla3]

You deserve all of the attention, sir.

[gibbsy13]

wow, for some reason i cant stop watching ur vids

[ceribrock90]

aww.. you're so sweet. will you check out my videos please. see what you think! thanks. xx

[ZombiesAteMyParents]

I love all your videos :]

its great to have you on youtube x.

[kyleinak2]

i dont know what makes me keep listening to you but it's something...

[saveyourself2006]

you really remind me of my grandad (who died from heart attack) but anyway you really are the voice of your generation like Jessums62 said you're so interesting to listen to!

keep on rocking!

[eyoup]

you are very nice and sweet oldman ty for video

[Jessums62]

You are so interesting to listen to; You make me really proud that you are so open; You seem like such a kind man. Keep it up.

[Chris22391]

So cool! God bless

[Purrrsuasive1]

I love that your shirt n sweater match the wallpaper. Can I adopt you?

[56kmodem]

I think it's a shame you are so inundated by youtube correspondence it has come to be "work" (your word). I hope you find ways to cut back just to take care of yourself better and enjoy life more.

Best Wishes to You.

[Kuenstlerin]

You are inspiring man! KEEP ON!

[bluhlabluh]

hero

[chazzaisalegend]

You're really interesting to listen to :-)

[RoofFiddler]

YOu are wonderful. You don't even know what an asset videos like this are to this site. 15 year old girls dancing to pop music doesn't stay entertaining forever. Stuff like this is pure gold. Gold.

Keep doing this.

[pokelarp]

I think what you have accomplished is amazing. You are truly and insporition to people who tend to give up when they get older. what you have done is to inspire people too keep on keeping on. I will look forward to your future vidios

[united121]

i have great respect for you, and totally agree with the last comment. you have a wonderful ability that you should not put to waste.

[nictheartist]

Peter, you are wonderful, and you could use your voice to speak out for those of your generation who can't express themselves via the internet - or in any other way, for that matter. In a sense, you are doing this already,just by communicating with the world. All the best, and take care

[altalomajb2]

Marry ME instead of txorizo!!!!

[txorizo]

MARRY ME!

[stephzy]

I respect you,Your amazing :D x

[mgturbo1300]

Anyway, why does the fact that he is old make him inspirational? We all gonna get old. People treat this geezer like he is a kid, praising him up just for telling run of the mill stories, in the same way you praise up a baby when its taking its first steps. I don't put anyone on a pedestal. I speak as I find.

[msb12i]

You are a good invader of you tube!I really like your video's!Your theory about the dust is correct btw ;) There are many people who are young and fit enough to do anything and sit in from of the computer. I think that in 25 years allot of older people will use the computer as a form of entertainment or just to keep busy.

Keep up the good work!

PS: Sorry 4 my english but I speak dutch.

[fattymattywatty]

My Dad always said he would write a book about his life one day. If youtube had been around 25 years ago he would still be around in a way. Keep up the good work geriatric1927. People will still be watching in 25 years I'm sure.peace.matt.

[fatkebab]

You are a wonderful, sincere and generous man. Thank you sharing

[orafferty83]

i love you videos and please keep them comming..and to all leaving rude messages it is our responsibility as a younger generation to look after our elders for if it wasnt for them we would not have life

[Master1mind]

if u don't like the video why do u still watch it??

[mgturbo1300]

"AxaRox (5 days ago) marked as spam

old guy, u rock!!!!! "

I agree. Old guy, you cock!!!!!

[mgturbo1300]

" chrisb1996 (3 weeks ago) marked as spam

hey i have a question! when u get old dose ur penis shrivel up and flake off? "

Hahaha!

[meleborn123]

shut up mgturbo. hes inspirational, and hes BRILLIANT!!!

[mgturbo1300]

Nah, people who fought in the World Wars are inspirational. Look at Les Lokens videos to see what I mean. Personally, I don't find stories from rich middle class people from rural Britain playing around on Motorbikes during the war inspirational.

[meleborn123]

ok i agree wif ya there but still i think hes grest lol

[mgturbo1300]

Cool.  Just my opinion you know. Takes all sorts I guess. :-)

[meleborn123]

I respect that

[DirectedMan]

Don't call him old.

[DasiOfDevi]

Thank God for people like you. I admire your candid nature and sincerity. Please keep posting. I love Quentin Crisp, so hearing that quote was a treat! :) Thank you for your insights.

[AxaRox]

old guy, u rock!!!!!

[MrWicked15]

HEEEEYYY!! this really inspires me to actually post my own videos about life - i have a habit of writing them on paper or sharing them with people. Thanks for the inspiration! Peace always granpa.

[moonlightromance]

it's like having an online replacement grandad

[ollz13]

There is an almost 80 year old trying to describe to you how it is to live at that age and all you can say is eat balls, your so rude.

[tehjamesnz]

Not many older people seem to talk about their perspectives as openly as you have done. Thanks a lot for the insight.

I can only hope that when I'm older, I'll be able to retain my independence and 'functionality' as well as you've done. I'm also hoping that if I live to be 80 or older I'll have a little less media attention than you have had at said age..

Well, best of luck with the media, youtube, and everything else and thanks for sharing a little bit of your experience with us all.

[jonnystalkerfan]

need those pants low old man?

[redtail1970]

Sometimes I forget to be thankful every morning that my brain and arms and legs are working and I really should be. Thanks for the reminder.

[Craig2368]

You should charge for interviews....money money money

[custer1968]

HA HA HA ! All men turn stupid in front of a beautiful girl! Really honest of you to admit it though (as if they didn't know it!)

[IrishNickO]

Fantastic video, lad. Good for you for keeping your independence, and even tradition. Cheers to you, sir.

[supersubcriber]

good work

[bkelaries]

I love the sound of your voice,its very comforting.

[Anchy2006]

And i hope that i can call myself your friend. You are a great man!

[EmCSpiteri]

I must admit that I live in England as well. I have spent many years in the City of London after serving in the Royal Navy. Now, that I am 71, I spend most of my time on the computer. I hope that I will hear/listen many more of your videos.

[KOLMAI]

I'd like to stories about his girlfriends back in the 1940s

[Cmontermini]

God Bless you man, I hope I'm as hip as you when I'm 80 years of age. Keep it up with your "YouTube work" :)

[LIVERLADD]

You are quite the sage :) I know you wouldn`t like that title but i think it is appropriate. Keep the good work up Peter your videos are great.

[JamalKunnas]

Hey.. good work man... Please don't let these peoples comments get you down... They are really dumb... I wish you could remove comments on youtube!

[TawpDawg123]

show some fucking respect all you knobs who are trying to make fun of this elderly dude

[gambit1337]

You are amazing!!

[calicoskies1616]

Dude!! You are AMAZING!! A true inspiration! Keep up the great work!

[reiparm2121]

show some respect

[myXChemIcalxexeCutiO]

That question was completely inappropriate and, to be honest, completely wrong. Show some respect for your elders.

[BunnyUK]

My grandmother was 80 in January this year, she's still looking after herself, doing her own shopping, and she likes the internet too! So it just proves that your calendar age - doesn't really matter - it's who you are inside that counts, and it's that which people respond to! Peace.

[HarrisonMilburn]

did u fight in WWII

[tharitjeucool777]

i love your videos it makes me smile all the time

[xMISSheartbreak]

[beanzie141]

[denisemc]

You are an absolutely lovely person! I just discovered your videos and they are brilliant! It's so refreshing to have someone with insight on YouTube, instead of the usual old tripe.

[C0SM1CDUD3]

Keep on truckin' bro!

[wildfemalelol]

My daughter and i both think your a lovely man and love watching your "tubes" hehehhehehe God bless and keep well~Laura and Hope/UK XX

[ross27h]

you're such a nice man. keep making videos, they make us happy. :)

[JunaidMD]

I hope to come back 10 years from now, and show my children your regular updates. Keep it up sir.

[DookinFerret]

I love watching your videos, you don't look a day over 60! Please continue to make videos, you are a breath of fresh air to this website community. :) xoxo

[MacSpoon]

Man, you're such an inspiration. It's great to know what it's like when you're old. I sometimes think "What the hell will I look like when I'm an old timer?". You give me an idea ha ha! Thanks for all your videos, I enjoy them very much. Take care and keep well.

[doomfan1]

how healthy are you? Jezz... you look like old.

[gizakiss]

you have come to terms with your lot very well. take care.

[AngelinaAkaAngie]

I think your videos are amazing. And you're a wonderful inspiring man :) Thanks for all the stories and entertainment

[kalenen]

I have no idea why i really watched this movie but somehow u get my attention wich is hard to do since i get bored EXTREMELY fast.

Ty. was interesting

[rptrus]

A charming gentle spirit

[creativevanescence]

aw.. i love you!! keep this up.... your vids make me smile :) love xxx

[Hoojakapiff]

keep the dream alive big man

[ibleedbeats]

I am and have been in love with Nina Simone. I literally get goosebumps every time I listen to her. She had such an incredibly large soul. A contemporary singer that I feel embodies this same presence is Jill Scott. She is amazing as well (but no Nina).

[zozogorgeous]

I LOVE Nina Simone, my absolute favorite musician since I was about 12 yrs old. Peter you are so young at heart, that I don't think you'll ever have to worry about moving to a 'home'

You're in your prime, each and every day, also at the age of 80! Well Done

[hedgehogman06]

i don't believe that you are 80. You're lying. I would say you are 59,60

[porcelainsp]

I think your videos are amazing. And you're a wonderful inspiring man :) Thanks for all the stories and entertainment

[cherokeefran]

This gentleman makes me look forward to my 67th year! Life Can Be Good at 8 or 80! Thanks for sharing

old and fiesty - ROUGH & TOUGH & HARD TO BLUFF!

[DesiluTrek]

i have watched many of your videos but this is my first reply. i laughed out loud about your reaction to the BBC producer. nice to know you still have libido at 80!

as a member of the Depression-WWII generation you have my enormous respect. my father, a german holocaust refugee, would have been 82 this sunday. i am of an age where the adults of my youth are fading from the scene and it is enormously difficult.

all the best to you.

john - sterling, virginia (washington suburb)

[asm7775]

My great-grandmother will be 93 in October, so I actually think you are quite young! ha! Hugs!

[llspeedy]

You are a legend! this is my first video ive seen from you and i will be seeing many more

[Tubetastik]

You make me laugh! I am amazed at your internet savvy and I salute you! Keep on rockin ole timer, you are one of the few elderly of my Papa'a time who deserve all the respect in the world for what you have done for our country XXX

[granniejanie]

As always, you're a joy to watch. Mr. Bashful with the BBC, but I so understand. I have several friends turning 80 next month and they as fun to listen to and reminisce with as you. Love watching you and please continue.

[jgmdpa]

=] awesome

[xxhippychickenxx]

you remind me of my grandad i lost few years ago :o)

[xxhippychickenxx]

this is what you tube is all about!

[itschriscrocker]

I admire you, just know that.

[lsandoz]

I am glad to find this channel. You now have a subscriber from the American South. Thanks for doing what you are doing.

[soulpatrol2007]

wow you're really 80? You don't look a day over 40, and such a positive modern spirit, we all truely love you, you're an example to us all, I only wish I can be the same way when I'm 80. Love you!!!

[realeyez12]

This is really, really, really interesting!!! BTW IT'S 3.6% SO ACCEPT IT!!!

[ajsbsp]

it's nice to see a mature perspective, rather than all the stupid 13 year olds making videos.

[PhilippinesVideos]

Wow :D

[CHOWMEINGASM]

Also, MY SISTER HAS THAT ET! It wouldn't shut up. It used to freak me out hahah

[UnholyShitHead]

Stop saying mean things to this fellow

[inneruki]

go and get ur pension check and stop making gay videos

[CHOWMEINGASM]

Shut up and show some respect

[Stasia526]

Is that ET in the background? I love ET

[zzarnticolz]

If you watch all his videos you will see our friend playing with his ET and having a good laugh.

[SickForTheCure]

noob

[lizrenemonrue]

Your like the grandfather I never had. (smiles)

[CoAdY195]

Did you fight in WW2?

If so Your a god,if not you just plane rock

[Cheesylemon]

An amazing man, and to boot you were mentioned on TV a few months ago, they were talking about youtube and all the video blogging and you was used as a quick example.

[Iain1962]

You didn't choose that music because it's coincidentally the theme for the BBC's Film series did you?

Beautifully dry as usual.

[TLAGT]

I can't imagine facing the reality that death is certain within the next 15 years or so. I hope that as I age, life will condition me to accept that fate, peacefully.

[jefejefejefe]

lol ppl who can talk to themself that long are crazy

[smileqt2000]

People who write crazy---is crazy. This man, is amazing, 80 years old (pardon 79) and is able to do this. Good Job! I'll listen to your stuff more often.

[flamingblackdice]

Wow your house is as old as my car. I can't imagine growing that old. My generation is the first generation to have a shorter life span than that of their parents (Thanx McD's and all other processed junkfood. I still remember those happy meals they were awesome! I wonder what chicken McNuggets were made out of back then before they were made of chicken...)

[CoAdY195]

note:thay dont say Mc Chicken nuggetsm, just nuggets...makes you think wtf are in them?

its like 50% chicken its the monster of food!

its all on the movie super size me

[nannyone]

I'm as old as your house, oh my!! I was born in England and now reside in Canada. You remind me of my grandad. Thanks for the memories!!!

[MiissNatx]

Your great :)

[sublime95]

I wish my grandparents knew how to post videos and all this. I feel so young. You've had so much more experience in your life. I can't imagine living as an 80 year old man. I still have 62 years till then.

[papermatepluma1]

you're awesome--I can't even get my grandparents to use e-mail..:]

[andrew9876543212]

akkraka shut up

[Gheryando]

i wanna be like him in 60 years

[tryalowcarbdiet]

Are you still sexually active?

[turnermedman]

idiot

[versafan]

peter, very lovely video... reminds me on what my nan did when she as alive... except she was terrified of computers and you are leap years ahead of where she was... god bless... :)

[mistydavis]

I understand your a widow, but I believe you should wear your wedding ring. :) Great inspiration

[mabey222]

Well done I hope I am as bright as you when i get to 80.

keep up the good work.

[georgiaqt998]

love the video's where abouts in england do you live?

[mymoonsavedme]

I've almost forgotten why I love hearing your stories. You're almost a great idol and have great views. I'm looking foreward to hearing more.

[mistresspav]

thank you for posting and for such great energy and hope :)

hope you live long.

(loved the Nina Simone end)

[tootsiedear]

i can't tell you how much i enjoy your videos. you are such a precious part of the youtube/online community. thank you so much for all that you do.

[sxylv4]

I am 83 femail have just been shown your video by my 17 year old grandaughter. I am now going to visit your web site whenever possible, Good luck and good health to you.

[Akkraka]

83? you'd think you would have found the time to learn to spell in all those years.

[mmaennle]

Again, a very interesting video. Thank you very much, Peter! I enjoyed your video very much.

[darrencain22]

I like your videos, i think there intresting. Thanks, and keep putting videos up.

[lilmasochist]

hey i dont think u should be a widower u have a lot to offer, my pop was 70 when he remarried. think about it. hes happy now and im happy for him :)
