  • WHY ARENT U PART OF THE PARTNERSHIP! u deserve to be! i really wish u were. u deserve to get compensation for the hours of entertainment u provide us. and youtube gets money from you! so really ur jsut getting ur FAIRSHARE. its all part of the package! u post great stuff on youtube, and you have subscribers, and so you SHOULD get money from youtube at the very least.

  • I appreciate your honesty, you're a good guy.

  • It wasn't your day was it? I don't know how you handle all this and have an ordinary life too. I miss your fireside chats a lot and look forward to you coming back. All the best to you. Denis.

  • Just don't let it take up your time if you don't want it to. If you don't want to do something or deal with them, just don't get back to them, they'll take the hint.

  • How do you package the most popular YouTuber, encapsulate what geriatric1927 'is' to someone unfamiliar with YouTube.

    Good Luck lol! I am immeasurably grateful for his 'unpackagable quality'.

  • And this is his outta control story/day! Stirred never Shaken... Don't confuse with Stiff upper lip.. Well done, spot on, sir!

  • I love the way you handle everything. Its truly an honour just to have you on youtube.

  • u shud be a part of the youtube partnership

  • AWESOME, can't wait to meet Paul and Sue. Wish you could stow away and come to SouthTube. Hugs Peter! We share the same anniversary on YouTube and you were the first person to whom I subscribed! HUGS, Marty :)

  • I love u geriatric1927

  • It sounds like you are getting very experienced at managing the media and maybe at some stage you might give us some tips.

  • You are a strong spirited man. You remind me of my father. He is 75 now, and cant sit still. I will have to watch all of your stuff.

  • You're a lovely man. We're blessed to be able to share a bit of your life. Thank you Peter.

  • we are blessed to have you tell your stories on video. back in the day you couldent do this.

  • I Never complain about anything that has a(Spam)switch, Wonderful Video, 1927 I feel you are speaking from your heart as well as your head. 1935

  • I LOVE YOU GERIATRIC!

  • Peter, you're a good ol' fart. We need more like you.

  • Keep on keeping on, Peter ;)

  • Ur Kool For Being Old Just Kiddin:)

  • Peter, justa note. I am...on the cusp I suppose of senior citizenhood (and for some I already am) and happily I got to retire from my job a little early and am planning my second life :-) You are surely an inspiration and a great example of how great that second life can be :-)

  • I love older guys who like bikes!

  • lol its been out 4 days and already has an honor

  • You rock! :)

  • Hello Peter

    It's good to here from you. the way you are handling the media is good. You are allowing your knowledge and wisdom to be used- to comment on media and electronics- in a positive way. Its always interesting to here your opinions.

    Thanks and God Bless :-)

  • good video =D

  • Hi Peter, Sounds like you can handle those newpaper and tv bloaks even though they can be like flies at a picnic sometimes. :) As always, you are an inspiration. love, pi

  • You rock! :D

  • Sounds like you were pushed into something you really didnt wanna do! Surely reporters should have know-how to just using the mic on the camera and recording the interview audio only!

  • Sounds like you guys had to get real creative. Nice to see your doing great.

  • To me, the galling thing is that the BBC could afford to courier the game out and so could surely have couriered out a finger drive to put the video on (yes, a second courier). Hey, they could have given Peter an email to send it to. Posting the video was unnecessary. I imagine the reporter told himself that this was a thrill for Peter and his friends, as opposed to wasting their time. Maybe complaining to BBC would be in order.

  • it sounds like the media puts a lot of pressure on you, it must be awfully difficult. nevertheless, you are an inspiration and I love your videos :)

  • Excuse me, sir, but there was rumors going around youtube that you had died..

  • paul1967 is as retarded as beebee890

  • Either way my beef wasn't with geriatric1927 afterall he has a great name. I wish him all the best i can only hope that one day i will be lucky enough to be an old man myself.

  • You. Are. Awesome!

  • go peter =D the best youtuber =D wish i had a grandad like him hehehehe =D

    Grtz Bill

  • Go, Peter!  I think you're a very wise man. Thank you for being so inspiring....

    Cheers,

    Becky

  • Hello peter

  • I haved yah. Keep up strong. I love listening to your stories and all that you share with us. Much Life and Love to you.

  • To Peter, having a life is going out drinking, disco dancing, and "hanging out with friends" on a regular basis: experiences that truly broaden the intellect and deepen the soul and humanity of any person. Yes, time should be spent on animalistic activies rather than pensive and insightful personal enrichment. Petey is my new role model.

  • PeteyP1983 ...why don't you tell us your life and rambilings then?

  • For the record I said I thought the guy seemed very nice. I just thought it was rather creepy thats all. Anything he has said that i have heard and i must admit i haven't heard much, are things you should learn on your own nothing to impressive.

  • Peter,

    Nothing to do with this video - did you see the Panorama program on YouTube being used to post 'happy slapping' videos? I was shocked and dissapointed by Google's response. How about starting up a YouTube community watch campaign to have these odious videos 'flagged as inappropriate' and driven off this site. I agree with freedom of speech, but these videos can only perpetuate an evil. Good men must stand up.

  • wtf is the matter to with you people. I personally think this guy is nice old man, but why in the world would you people want to keep up with this guys life and rambilings??? You all need to get a life!!!!!

  • Booooo you need to get more of a life for telling others to get a life lol ;p

  • Absolutely right. The most cringe worthy comment I saw in reply to one of his videos was "ooh I lubs your fideos peter, it encourages me to tlk to my Mum more who is 76". I mean wtf? You people should be talking to your own people anyway, not sitting behind PC screens thinking that everyone online is your friends, because NO ONE online is your friend. So many weak willed, emotional wrecks online, no wonder paedos love the internet.

  • mgturbo1300........what on earth is WRONG with you??....you have the cheek to keep on to us about what WE are doing on here.....why don't you just go off and mind your own bloody business instead of keep coming back and commenting on the same videos.....GOD you must have a really boring life....and you talk about US.....I give up!!

  • He's a Carcass on a scooter.

  • would you like to view my videos? please check my Zeitgeist trailer... cheers dude, I'm not spam btw :)

  • Its funny how he said Hello Youtubers lol nice great guy i really like hes video keep it up man.~1~

    Tavio and people please subscribe to my Page if you could i do magictricks lol your going to love it Thanks~1~ Tavio

  • Hey Pete. How is the weather out there? What about property? I was thinking of investing out that way. I wanted to get some property out in the country. You know of any nice farms for sale in your area?

  • He was telling us how expensive property is there:-)

  • Property is a lot more expensive than your United States. Especially as the Pound is so strong against the Dollar, and has been for donkeys years. Peter wouldn't know about buying property anyway, he inherited his place from his rich parents.

  • No he didn't.....what do YOU know.....have you met him and had conversations with him?

  • we know when he BOUGHT it and how much he PAID for it

  • tell them to get lost, you've done your fare share...take it easy mate.

  • dont you get annoyed by the media? btw peter how are you able to maintain your house since you cant walk very well? thats a big responsiblity especially when an elderly man lives alone and has no one to help him

  • Chin up mate. I suggest you use your headset mic as the external mic gives off a loud high pitched whine.

  • There's no high pitched whine coming my end:-)

  • Turn up your volume and use headphones. People have commented about the same issue before. I am not complaining, merely suggesting a way to improve videos. Cheers.

  • I HAVE got headphones on:-)

  • Love you Peter!!

  • YOU ARE SUCH A GREAT PERSON !

  • As always Peter, happy to visit your channel.

  • Thanks for explaining all that, Peter. I had wondered when I watched positivesue's video exactly why she was taping you talkingon the phone. Now I know!

  • That's why I hadn't even bothered getting him central on the camera as I knew it wasn't going to be needed. If I had thought earlier I could have just had the cap over the lens!:-)

  • you are great, but the zimmers are just sad.

  • you look great!

  • Suggestion: When the media call, ask them to tell you in advance what they want to talk about, before they come for the interview. That way you can be somewhat prepared. At minimum, they should be able to tell you, generally, what they want to discuss. If it is software that you have not seen, you could tell them to ship it to you a few days in advance, so that you have time to evaluate it. This is the type of courtesy that any reputable media should offer you.

  • Not only software, but any product - games, music, toys, etc.

  • Great response to Paul's lovely video. You have made some fantastic friendships here on youtube. There's an old saying in Scotland, Lang may yer lum reek! Which basically means long life and prosperity with friends. All the best Peter.

  • I adore you Peter!

  • I'm sure Paul like the rest of us, if we were with you we would support and protect you as best we could. Love you Peter.

  • "Protect you". You are joking right?

  • Peace to you, Peter! Hope all is well with you & your loved ones. Please take care & look forward to your next update!

    If I ever get up the nerve to cross the Big Pond, I'd like to give you a hug!

    (fish & chips sound great! LOL!)

  • you're looking very well! nice shirt!

  • How do you start doing interviews in the first place?

  • Hi Peter take care and don't let anyone take over your life. Enjoy yourself and yes please continue on your grandad story telling. BTW how is your family taking all this new life style that you have acquired with youtube, bbc and others?

  • u rock man ur the best

  • I think Paul1967uk must have taken your sweater.  I will call the police and alert the media.

  • Great video once again. I'm looking forward to your next "telling it all"-videos! And don't forget to use your headset for a better sound ;-)

    Greetings from Germany!

  • How far do you Sue and Paul live from each other grandad...?

  • I think I'm about 190 miles from Grandad

  • You are looking well grandad, you've lost some weight, so it seems. Hope you are not overdoing it. Seems you have a very busy and eventful life. Please take Care. x

  • You are the only true "CELEB" on YouTube! Truly an inspiration to young and old alike. I miss the regular videos since you dont have the time now,but still,I am very happy that it has made your life a much fuller and,hopefully,happier time. Take care Peter.

  • can't say that you has no job....you has a lot.

  • Mr.Peter i got only one thing to say: i wish you could be my grandfather!

  • Trouble with the organisations is that it's their day job, any time taken is just office hours to them, I wonder if they would be so willing to give up their free time like Peter?

  • Very nice explination as to what it is like to be involved in the aspect of things that you are. We hold you in the highest regards for all that you do and the reasons that you choose to do them. If we ever make it to the UK we would be so glad to meet you! Hugs!

  • One of the good thing with the internet and sites like youtube is that it could connect a lot of old and alone elderly people.

    My swedish grandma as I said who became 98 had no trouble watching the tv everyday.

    However I think it would have been better if her last 5 years would have been to talk with people when she was alone instead of just watching the Tele.

    Ofc it was her life not mine,and when your above 95 you deserve to decie how you wanna live ;)

  • Geriatric1927 your only 80 years old.

    My moms grandma became 98 years old.

    She was very nice however she got mad when I took apples from her appletrees.

    Weird lady.

  • :0) Peter

  • Your a true gentleman.

    Much respect and admiration for your forbearance:)

  • Your a great guy for doing all these videos Peter and you should always keep it at your own discretion as far what to do with your time. I'm sure dealing with all these media guys has got to be tiring. Have a good day :)

  • Sorry to hear that Pete. Hopefully you won't be too busy next time someone visits.

  • Why did you even bother with "the interview" if you had visitors? Really....

    Then again, why do you bother with media at any time unless very applicable and something you want to do? I'd recommend you be very very selective with respect to media and only if you want to participate.

  • It just didn't go according to plan. If they had been more 'organised' if would only have been a few minutes out of the day...which would have been fine. Considering it was the BBC you would think they would have known EXACTLY how to get the best quality recording in the first place! As Peter explained in this video, he is quite capable of saying NO if he really wanted to.

  • I say you people are lucky to have any media interest anyway (if thats what rocks your boat). Get what you're given and stop complaining tbh.

  • and YOU stop complaining about US

  • Great video response Peter :)

    -Josh

  • Thank you for letting us know. You are such a gracious man. I just wanted you to know that watching your very first video is what gave me the courage to finally post one of myself. Love you so much! Kathie

  • Great video Peter. No worries about the day not going as planned...we will make up for it NEXT time:-)

  • Isn't the game called "Brain Age"? Or am I thinking of another game?

  • You are the best, geriatric1927! You should have to deal with the stresses of the media at your time of life. You should be able to relax and unwind but you just take it in your stride and never complain. I really admire you for that and will continue to watch your oh-so-great vdeos!

  • great stuff Peter....

  • I don't think there's a Nintendo game called Brain Drain. I think you're either referring to Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training or Brain Age :)

  • Yea it does take i lot of you life but your doing i great job your helping i lot of people on you tube like me you have helped me to see i lot of stuff do keep it up!

  • Someone half your age would struggle with the amount of media pressure you seem to come under. I'm sure it gets difficult at times. But I think it's all worth it because you're putting out a positive message about the value of older people.

  • you handle things so well Peter and always seem so calm about it too, its inspiring (: cant wait for some more of you stories too (:

    -anna

  • Peter, I'd imaging the media attention is annoying and unwanted at times. On the other hand does it keep your body and mind more active in a positive way, or is it just a drain?

  • i like.

  • People tend to talk and want to know about people they know. And being in the media makes many feel they know you! Or they want to know you....Just the way it is...And really it is best that it is that way.

  • kool vid man

  • First comment!

    Great job!

  • Not quite!

  • Well, the guy above me wasn't there when I first watched it XD

  • great video :)
