Telling it all 34

[brian09876543]

I'm watching all your videos chronologically. You're Granddad sounds interesting.  Cheers Peter

[Linkmaster45]

"if you don't take some risks in life you might as well be dead anyways..." brilliant sir.

[marsz510]

Great Story!

[Gorguruga]

A very touching story, have you got any written works online available for download?

[beansyumyum]

you're a bit of a legend maaan

loving the story btw

[badgerrr6]

did you dye your hair purple?!?!

[RIVKAdict]

You're like the grandad I never had. :)

You tell such great stories.

[MortalStrikes]

Loved it, great story.

[Tessietots]

That was wonderful Granddad,

[Akyrumunios]

I lost my granddad recently. That's almost exactly what happen in my case. As always you have my respect and love.

[orafferty83]

great story i really loved this one ...and once again much love from Ontario Canada

[lilmspimpz]

This was an amazing story. Thanks for sharing.

[genmama1955]

I have heard you read a few of your stories, and I have enjoyed each one of them. Please keep on reading them!

[michaud535]

What an amazing story! Thank you for doing these videos!

[w4kwd]

Good for you Peter...I loved both of my grandfathers...and was damn lucky to have had as much time with them as I did. I cherish all of my memories of them.

[WhatAboutJazz]

Holy shit! That was intense. Thanks Peter.

[AkanAkanAkan]

Bach's Concerto, the story--it reminds me of the church I was raised in. The minister at our church is retired now and the communion has more or less evaporated into the city, but--I still remember.

Thank you, Peter. We're listening--and happily.

[Ethergirl]

What a great story! Your grandfather sounds like a wonderful person. And the music in the background was perfect to set the scene.

[stevencolborne]

absolutely brilliant, thank you friend x

[socalRooster]

I like that story.I never new my grandad I was too small @ the time he passed when I was 5 so thank you for sharing that with me

[SexySicily45]

Good stories dude!!! check out my profile!!

[lublyannaline]

Now that was a great story. You are so real. I've been won over, and I've only seen two of your videos. Time to subscribe!

[ayebraine]

this is a good story. I would read it printed with great pleasure, even deprived of the joy of hearing it read out loud with your soft voice. Surely these writing classes didn't go to waste.

BTW, maybe it would be interesting for you to know that I'm from Russia, and I try to convince my friend (who is a girl planning on living in Canada) to use your "grumbles" to study English, in part because of your beautifully clean and literary language.

Thank you!

[grindintimes1]

I thought that was very awesome an interesting magnificent

[zzarnticolz]

Are you gay?

"Who the hell cares, if you don't take some risks in life you might as well be dead anyway." --Geriatric1927

A pearl of wisdom.

[KyreiSenza]

Adding the music in the background truely and honestly gave it exactly what it needed for maximum impact. The story was great, and I was as intrigued and captivated by your story as I ever have been. Great job Peter.

[PhoenixesRose]

He he he - LOVE the story Peter - reminds me of when I got in trouble as a teenager for taking a pack of cards to my grandfather's visitation. We had 10 of my cousins and I all playing euchre (grandpa's fav card game) in the back room and got scolded something fierce. Personally, I think he was with us playing and laughing instead of with the grownups sobbing....Thanks!

[annathy]

Peter - as always, a wonderful story. I love to hear you read. I am behind a bit on your blog, but I'm still with you. Happy Christmas! Odelia - Columbus, Ohio, USA

[nontheroad]

"If you don't take some risks in life, you might as well be dead anyway."

You sir, are an utter marvel on youtube. Much respect to you.

[DevilDante27]

I loved this video! :)

[WERTY317]

Probably your best vid yet. The piece you wrote years ago is very courageous and quite true in my book. I lost a son two years ago, and his mother and I went with a "celebration of life" type remembrance instead of having a preacher. Took a little heat on that from a good friend of mine. Not his call. The son did not believe in invisible people directing his life and he would not approve of them directing his death.

[CelticCatnip]

You are adorable! Keep it up! :)

[sladelma]

honestly, you're pathetic, sidding.

[MrsJaggy]

that was a great story :o)

[niomikiller13]

I love elders. Your awesome.

[duckyOman]

you're awesome!!! :) be my grandpa please? :D

[hamishsmall]

That TICLer is a real tic, Ono a TIC would have more brains. Peter keep up your great stories and ignor TIC's like the fool TICLer.

[boarprod]

Whatever old man..

[jcmo04]

Thanks for the story and your time. Not many of us are lucky enough to have living grandparents to share experiences and stories with us.

[aspencrest]

Excellent reading/story! Thank you for sharing it!

[MrNishi]

Nice one Peter, watching this makes me wish i spent more time with my grandfather, sadly he's gone now so your the next best thing.

[BaronVonCarter]

Bravo!!

[greenhornet123]

Thanks Peter

[tricktocry]

This video was absolutely... inspiring. I'm 14 years old and I've never wanted to go and write a story for hours before. In fact, that's what I'm about to go do now! Your story was amazing. I loved the moral, and the grandson. I wish you were my grandpa. =)

[Yeagarn]

I Love this mate! Keep 'em Comming :) You Are My New Hero :P

[Jenko06]

keep producing these videos please i love them

[PipsyPea]

A great story with so much truth about the hypocrisy of such situations.

[Misspoison76]

[dc258]

[proudyke]

And you think this is a bad thing? The world needs more of love and sentiments and caring. Please Peter, carry on.

[wigeto]

goddamit 34 die already

[JaydeSabbath]

You first, sweetie. ;) You could learn a thing or two if you pay attention. Because I'm going to laugh so hard when you get old and some young idiot just as ignorant as you pops off at the jaws and tells you to die.

[BrianJunglist]

holy shit u r fucken hardcore

[vallywoodlily]

Another good one Peter .please keep up the story's .I enjoy them and always walk with something new to think about .

[KathyLewis]

I'm proud that you ventured on the Quad's in the Dairy. A Youngster might have broken bones also. The point is we're never to old.... So many people stop themselves from living. LIVE LIVE LIVE to the fullest. Age doesnt matter. Thanks Love Kathy

[killert00thbrush]

Its great that you can put you life story up here and get all this feedback on it. Keep up the awesome work my friend.

[MysterEy1]

Another awesome one. Loaded with real info and stories.

[skootfairy]

that is a really good story. high quality work!

[nadgeneger]

I love you for what you're doing. It's really awsome that there are some senior people out there who accept the new modern stuff like computers and internet. Thank you for doing this :) Nice story

[natjanel]

I loved your story. It so well expressed the grief and anger a young teenager felt at the death of his beloved grandfather.

[Venus50]

Wow, Peter! Almost 9,000 views! If I had something on youtube, I'd be excited if I got a couple hundred views. I still don't get stars to rate this one; it gets five stars though. Love the story by the way!

[kereru]

ooooh that story brought a tear to my eye!

[manypaws]

The world is truly a better place because of you being in it. Thank you for what you do and thank you for being you! Thanks for crossing paths with us for if you had not none of us would have had the honor of fate letting our paths cross.

[JakSelGirl]

Thanks so much, Peter -- another great posting! It's so great to be able to listen to your interesting stories across the Atlantic. Each post is a new adventure!

Keep it up!

We love you!

xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

[astounded]

another great video Peter :)

[Lagwagon555]

OMG ROFELZ!!!

[desertgirl64]

Wonderful story!

[ebie58]

Another great story, Peter..How clever...I enjoyed the story seeing you in my mind's eye, plus I was thinking that by giving an idea or word (such as things purple) a wonderful story can be told..That's one of the things I love about being human.

[cobain93]

rwally awsome story. i was just about to click off but then u started reading and i had to watch. your really awsome. keep it up.

[SpelRizn]

I love the quote, "I bet god wouldn't mind if I wore my Yamaha jacket" very funny!

[ranitaguiri]

Definatly one of the best, ...so far. Very entertaining and touching story Peter. Keep up the good work. Thank you.

[Bocca202]

You have a lot of years of life experience. Over the years people are changing and that happens silently. Young people generally do not recognize that. That is why your stories about past and your view on changes now are so interesting. Thanks. Inga

[04043764]

Inga, it seems as though you are interested in a similar subject to that of a project i am doing on 'geriatric1927'.

[04043764]

Do you think that younger people like to watch Peter's videos for a different reason than older people?

It seems to me that he intends his videos to be a kind of friendship connection but some younger people see him as more of a grandfather figure/substitute. Whereas, others like to relax to his videos. I think again this is not quite what Peter intends when recording his blogs etc.

I would be interested in YOUR thoughts on this subject.

Barnaby.

[w00dy911]

Sir, it was your videos that inspired me to start telling my own stories on Youtube. And anything that i have learnt about storytelling over the last couple of months, I owe to you. You are a true inspiration to thousands. Thank you and god bless.

[kazimann]

You're a legend!

[Bocca202]

Hello, again! Can you tell more about visiting health facilities, doctors. I'm sure you have an opinion about them.Thanks. Inga

[Bocca202]

Hello, again! Can you tell more about visiting health facilities, doctors. I'm sure you have an opinion about them.Thanks. Inga

[leeker729]

You just get better all the time.  As a once-upon-a-time cleric, we deserve that.

[Bocca202]

I was cheking out what wikopedia had to say about youtube, so I found there your name mentioned. That is how I came across your videos. Quet interesting. I wonder what an avarege retired person's life looks like in England, because you are trying to do something else than people your age? May be you could tell more about that because retired people in different countries spent their life differently. Thanks. Inga

[phlebas38]

Another great vid Peter, thanks again.

David, New Zealand

[TrianaE]

Another great story! I love it when you read, Peter! Every vlog of yours is a treasure. Lots of love to you!

[DrunkinIrishman]

"it you don't take risks you might aswell be dead anyway"...So true peter. I simply love your stories Thank You

[adriana365]

storytelling - a disappearing art.

and much of it hinges on vocabulary rather than a retelling of the emotion - ie. - "and i was like 'whoa, dude'", rather than "i was scared to death, we were on two wheels rather than on the four" - learn, vloggers, learn.

you are a treasure, pete

[gatebee]

Way to go Peter, age is but a number. Living life to the fullist is most essential. Love your writing and reading. Keep it coming.

[sorryumbrella]

I love your stories. :D

[jetsett193]

[alienfrog64]

I loved this story It is wonderfully written and read.

[Cassandrobp]

Very nice video Peter, great stoty-telling! As you spoke like a priest... fantastic! Keep going on, Pete! Gábor, Budapest

[hanserd]

Great work Peter!

Keep them coming. You have great writing skills!

I look forward to seeing you again :)

[solorguy]

That was great peter! Really enjoyed that! Whish you had worn the jacket, but loved the purple hair.

[dclews]

Thanks Pete. Really enjoyed the story. Maybe you'll be a serious contender for 'Jackanory' on the Beeb!

[motherfunky1]

Idependent and non conformist... if only more people were like that :)

[trees75094]

Quite wonderful!

[KHFan]

I love listening to you...don't stop anytime soon.

[mzmarple]

You old rebel you....loved the story...you always leave us wanting more...

[sirachman]

Hello Peter,

This is my first time commenting on one of your videos but certainly not the first time for me to view. I just wanted to let you know that I greatly enjoyed your story, I wish that I could know you in person, and I will look forward to hearing more from you.

To good health!,

~Adam

[faintstarlite]

That was a great story. You're quite a talented writer and having a bit of background music was a nice effect for the church scene.

[kricert]

Hey Peter that was great, I really enjoyed this story!

[bechvid]

keep up the good work ;) great =)

[thebuddahman]

[Tahllulah]

Oh, so glad to have one of your lovely stories!

[badhands22]

thanks again geriatric1927

[MusicManInSC]

Ah, what a treat to hear from my good pal, J. Bach! I noticed he started his prelude just about at the right time in the story. Clever, that guy...and the fella reading his narrative is not doing too bad a job either.

Thom

[marianthe06]

still enjoying your vids, thanks :)

[sjbiars]

Yet another great video, Peter.

[Jinxie228]

[DevilDante27]

I love your story. You read very well. Your videos are all so amazing and I enjoy watching them every time! You've become like a granddad to me!

Love,

Shlie

[mymoonsavedme]

Great story with fantastic moral value.

[psykulor]

His stories are great, but frankly I just go to these things to hear him say "Hello YouTubehs."

[angelsbettylou]

that was a really great story and beautifully written

[captnemoo]

nice I loved it

[pumice535]

[hbip97]

Hi, im just new to watch your clips in Youtube after i read one of the articles about Youtube that mentioned about the clip yourself in time magazine lately. After I saw your clips in Youtube, well...haha, i think you are a cool grandpa,

[Mikel4321]

I wish you were my grandad, or even my dad. You rock Peter don't let anything get you down dude, we love you loads! - Mike (Geriatric1927 fan)

[wednesdayborn1014]

[Krypo]

[imjustthatonegirl]

Wonderful story! I love your videos!

You are without a doubt, the coolest Old person I've ever "known" (it does seem like I know you).

[swamprat500]

I think that is part of your charm Peter.

[AuntLissa53]

I loved the rebelious streak - our time goes by too fast. THX xoxoxoxo

[mysterymac38]

usually i dont listen to your stories all the way through. but that one was pretty good. what grade did the instructer give you?

[Indykat10]

I just spent 4 days and 2 hours of tape in NY videotaping my grandfather's stories. I wish I could share them with you but you should know that this post of yours brought tears to my eyes... thank you.

[OneBlazeOfGloryGlory]

Great video once again, you never fail to keep me interested. :)

[N4TH4NJ4Y]

nice story

[wednesdayborn1014]

"if u don't take risks in life, u may as well be dead!" ~geriatric1927

well said!!! i found someone on youtube older than u and i thought u would like to watch his videos. he is a ww2 veteran and is 94 years old. his screenname is gingeronymous on youtube. his daughter helps him to upload the videos and it is her screenname.

[nienna67]

Hot diggity dog! Another great story! I always love listening to you and your stories are quite evocative. You make it easy to "see" the people and surroundings and easy to empathize with how your characters are feeling.

Do you read many books? Who is your favorite author?

thanks again!

nienna from oregon usa

[bugs091]

Thanks for continuing to share your story. I always look forward to your messages.

[jmw2147]

I loved that story! You are great :)

[brainhell]

More good fiction! Thanks!

[brignoni68]

That's an excellent story Peter. Thank you. Sounds like you were writing about me until the end. I don't think I'd have had the cajones to do that.

[Bernie1927]

Hi Peter: What a wonderful way to 'not' get into religion and yet to convey your true feelings. I too did the same thing in a novel I wrote. Really enjoyed this one. Keep it up !!

[rlepine]

How wonderful. It brought tears to my eyes. Thanks again Peter.

[andymooseman]

Excellent. Purple prose indeed :)

[carolperez]

thank you so much. I would have liked to have had a granddad like that. I must admit that when I listen to your vids I turn them up and clean my kitchen (where the computer is) They're wonderful. like mantras.

[fehquig]

Wonderful story! It made me cry and it made me smile. What more could

I ask for? Peter, you're accomplished and truly eloquent...

[Granni001]

Bravo, Peter! Another wonderful story!  I hope we'll continue to hear them.

[mimiraffo]

As usual, wonderful Peter, keep it up!

Maria

[Eddette]

You have a new fan Peter! You are fabulous! I miss my own grandpa so much.

[daligoddess2006]

That was such a good story! You're a very talented writer! I think you should give us more of your writings!

[Shandy64]

Herding animals on a quad-bike sounds so much fun!!! You took a risk and didn't regret it : ) I loved your 'purple' story. Was it true?

[tlg847]

How is it possible that after all these videos you continue to amaze me? You'd think I'd be used to one being better than the last by now...

Anyone interested in seeing how iconoclasts might age without bitterness simply must watch your videos. That was just wonderful.

[StevenJeNova]

Thank you! Nice story indeed. A rebel in the heart. The only way to be.

[Toxicweed]

I think you will out live us all peter

[SickForTheCure]

nice story

[karooze]

A great story, well written & read. Very enjoyable :)

[IslandHermit]

Once again, a lovely story. You really do have a talent there, Peter.

[mattd28]

thanks Peter, nice story :)

[liquidribs]

Wonderful!!! Sir Peter!!! carry on please!! i always wait for your next post :P . maybe you could tell us what you did during christmas

[MashiarasDream]

That was just wonderful. Thank you for sharing with us.

[labritz]

see. you see who the real friends are after a while. they know not what they do i guess. off on another cool new thing.

[TracyInsomiac]

Thank you. You made my night.

[abbyroadme]

I loved the story Peter. Thanks for sharing it.

[well3howdy3doo]

great video as always peter.always captivating,always brimming with depth,always peter thanks!

cheers,

<:+)

[visiyesthatone]

Excellent story. Well delivered.

[littletroll]

Loved your story Peter! Each one you've read has made me feel as though I were right there in the story.

[AirTygir]

Peter, how could somebody NOT enjoy your reading?

They would have to be insane! You're the greatest ever!

Thank you for being an inspiration to me.

[louisthebest]

that story was excellent!! im subscribing!

[Fi5hB8]

Lol, that was awesome man - good on you!

[GreenEyedBanana]

I love your narrorating!

[martybird57]

I'm really glad I didn't switch off. Wonderful story. More please!

[Brendino99]

Amazing

[mclaren122]

this is good lisening at 03 at night. just home from trip to town.

[gittso84]

I always look forward to your next video

[iseehaters]

keep up the good work, and be safe..

[Proteus6666]

That story should definitely be published. I particularly liked your dig at organized religion. I think it's all nonsense. A majority of people over here (the U.S.) still believe in talking snakes and virgin births. Most Europeans seem to have outgrown such fairy tales.

[coralgarden]

"Well, he's not in the position to say." I laughed too hard at this and had to hear that part again.

Did you really dye your hair or was it just part of the writing assignmnent?

[louyee01]

From rebel to another...Nice one Peter.

[dabeisyin]

thank you so much, that was so touching.
