  • I love you Grandad! <3

  • I admire you as an older fella ;-) for putting up with all the jargon, and the technology, alot of older people would have scarpered. all thanks to mike!

  • in lay mans terms a T ONE (t-1) is a fast net connection with lots of support for bandwidth.. as for bandwidth problem, its like trying to the same of drivers that would be on a motorway / highway onto a single track road. so no wonder they had problems =) . I'm not trying to be patronising incase i get replies, just not everyone is interested in the mechanics of how the net works, it either works or don't for most ppl =)

  • Grandad Peter is one of the BEST people on YouTube! all the idiot kids who comeon here and disrespect him should be sentenced to MANDATORY mister rogers episode sessions lasting 3-6 months of 18 hour days in front of a television showing nothing but Mister Rogers, and only bread and water rations.

  • Hey Peter,

    The world will calm down about you soon enough (I sure hope so!) and you can have your life back. Don't give up! You are important as a "internet-grandpa" and as a SIGN of nowadays. Greetings form Estonia! Kristin

  • puke, when you're old enough to lose the desire to refer to yourself as pukemaster, you may earn a little respect for your elders. and have some interest in what those of us with more experience have to say. you know, educational. good luck with that.

  • 1. Respect your elders

    2. Most people enjoy hearing stories of older times from wise people

    3. Peter has an amazing talent of telling stories of his life

  • Dude...get a life myan! Learn to respect ur elders n sometyms if u have an open mind u can actually learn sumin n GROW UP!

  • Keep up the great work and you're website looks wonderful!!! Love it!!

    Best regards, Mara from Chicago, IL USA

  • You are the best!

  • Hi Peter,

    I wish you well with the web site,

    Best Regards,

    Drew.

  • Dear,dear Peter, You have become a legend in your own time!! What a wonderful thing to happen to someone of your age. Since I am very close to your age,(73), it just goes to show that our generation has much to offer to our young friends. I love what you have done. Love and xxxxxxx's  Your friend from Ohio, Geri

  • That was needlessly technical information aimed at you. He could of done a better job at explaining it simpler. But the basics are that you're getting so many visitors to your website that professional computers and high-end equipment is needed to deal with the sheer volume of people visiting!!

  • Thanks for the update re: your website. It's not surprising it crashed considering the enormous amount of your fans. The technical side of websites are probably a mystery to most of us but until yours is up and running we still have you here to enjoy. Keep up the good work Peter. Love from Texas.

  • Hmmm... this is not the first time my comment on one of your videos has been eaten(?) - I know you aren't censoring Mr. Peter - because of haters "jonathanmyman" comments listed.

  • This guy was in my local newspaper!

  • Check out "Youtube video awards" Hurry!

  • Keep getting it Peter.

  • I just love you to pieces Peter - don't let these ugly comments hurt you. You are dear in MY heart. xoxo

  • Tell Mike to take it easy. All in good time.

    ...and to those who would post hurtful things, there is help available, you know you want help. Don't be afraid to get it.

  • I think it is wonderful that the response to your new site crashed the servers! Let that be a testament to youtube's popularity. Can't wait for the next installment.

  • If I ever see this old man on the street, i will mug him. Shut up old man, and give me your wallet. If he was waiting for a bus, I would push him into the street and laugh when he got run over, lol

  • I hope someone pushes you in the street and mugs you when you're old. And I hope you lose control of your bowels and bladder and have to wear diapers.

  • how does somebody like you sleep at night?!

    leave a harmless old man alone

  • I was wondering the same thing. He is obviously full of the devil to talk to this sweet man this way.

    I love you Peter!

  • that is extremely rude of you.

  • you gotta be under 16 years old

  • if you don't want to listen to him talk, don't click on his videos! is that so difficult? I guess it could be for a violent little child like you....

  • jetsonic, 255ping, jmb5623; don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya! I think I hear your mother calling...

  • I don't think that I can sit through 79 years of this...

  • great!

  • Holy crap you crashed the servers! Hahahahaha. Kewl!

  • ACK! When did you come back?! I've got a heap of stuff to catch up on now. *LOL*

  • boring

  • U ROCK!

  • Hello Peter, I don't belive I have posted a responce to your videos before. I wanted to say that I enjoy listening to your telling it all series. It realy helps to hear history from someone who lived it.

    Thanks.

  • what website. I really don't understand what is going on.

  • and u just wasted ur time watching and posting that ^^^ sir, you are the coolest! keep making these videos :D

  • I cant believe this old man is number 2 most subscribed. Unbelieveable, amazing. The world is completely insane. I would rather watch bark grow on a tree than listen to this foolish old man. This old man had his time back in his day, why is he clogging up Youtube wasting everyones time and space and bandwidth? Anyone over the age of 50 should not be allowed on Youtube!!!

  • jetsonic, no wonder you have zero zero rating, you do not have a single vid contribution, as to "clogging up Youtube" geratric1927 has introduced thousands of new members and inspired hundreds to share their vids. Now lets see how you can better that, put your vids where your mouth is!

  • in the rash heat of youth one might think they know it all and have the arrogance of self-importance but true wisdom come with age and arrogance gets replaced by mortality and then one is left with a unique perspective of the true journey of life and the realization that it is not the destination that counts but the steps of the journey. xx

  • fyi YOU JUST GAVE GODADDY.COM A TON OF FREE PUBLICITY W/ THIS VID.

  • Thanks Peter:)

  • that was in reply to johnathanmyman btw, lol too slow obviously

  • they may not be illegal pete hun but they are very very immoral. Keep up your blogs all the best of health to you and your family.

  • Haha Peter! That's awesome, you've had so many website hits you ran out of bandwidth. Woah!

  • Yeah definetely, if the website is too much to deal with, these youtube transmissions are more than sufficient for the fans :)

  • Peter, don't forget to ask yourself the question "is this still fun"? or "Am I enjoying this"? Because if the answer is "no" then you do not have to keep this up. The web site idea, though well meaning, seems like an added complication and stress. And takes away from the youtube community. I think you look a little stressed in your last 2 videos. Please consider easing up and just sticking with this simple youtube format. Take care of yourself.

  • I agree with sddogtrainer. Peter, make this fun and not work. Love you.

  • I could not have stated this better!

    Thanks sddogtrainer!

    Peter! Listening to you read that "techno garb" was actually kind of funny, (TO ME ANYWAY..!)but not why I come to listen to you!

    Take it easy Peter!

  • Your website idea looks really cool I enjoyed my visit, and hope to go back soon. Thanx

  • Could this be made up like lonelygirl? Is peter a british actor just reading a script? we have been fooled before you just don't know what to believe.

  • Trust that people are sincere, until there's sufficient evidence to think otherwise.

  • If Peter was a fake, he would have appeared on TV and made a lot of dosh and bought the Macintosh computer he said he wanted. He is a lonely widower who loves communicating. We are the benefactors from this.

  • Love your Videos. I came across it from another account and was very happy with your videos. I live the stories and have gone back and watched all of your videos.

  • Here's hoping all this website drama and YouTune excitement is not stressing you out entirely. It comes from people responding to your warmth and genuine sincerity, and the memories you graciously share! It will work out -- take the time you need. We're on your side! Ta!

  • lol how r u still alive lolz?

  • omg i'm so gald about u doin this video cos when it said 'acount suspended i though it ment mine lol not urs. I was about 2 start a big argument with u but now u posted this video i'm happy :) ty

  • Peter but yuo did not answer my question

  • This web site takes control out of your hands Peter and is no longer just you vlogging us. You are getting away from your original concept and you might as well appear on the BBC, it would be a whole lot more dignified. Now you are getting involved with flash programs, causing yourself stress and totally getting away from your original concept. You obviously have serious heart problems by the panic alarm around your neck. Please take care....

  • Peter.

    One thing.

    Make a "Donate" button.

  • As long as we still get your vlogs on Youtube there should be nothing to worry about.

  • very understandable

  • Peter :-Power is finally going to your head.

  • Good Luck to you and Mike. Looking forward to another story.

  • Hey Peter, if you need help with the website, I know there's plenty of us out here who can help you and Mike get this set up and/or running. We love you, and I know that all of us *fans* of you do try to support all you do. I also know that go daddy should sponsor you - it's great advertising for them. If they don't, let us know and we'll see if we can find someone who will. *hugs from Germany* ~Rose

  • What's with the audio lately, Peter? Quality isn't as good. Anywho, I wanted to ask if you liked soccer, and if you do, what's your favorite Premiership team?

  • Thanks Peter. Look forward to viewing your site. :-)

  • cheers for the info..

  • Instead of naming your video's "telling it all ##", give them a subject. That way people can decide if there intersted in the topic before they click the video. You'll most likly get more views.

  • you're right! that's what i've been thinking too....

  • Too many hits,very cool! All good things are worth the wait, so we will wait until the site is up again! It just means, we love you so much Peter! Have a Beautiful Day! ~Martha

  • so, jetsonic, why does the responsibility for being no. 2 subscribed fall on peter's shoulders? he just makes the videos...he can't help how many subscriptions he gets. why does that make the world 'mad' if they decide to like something other than what you like? and why does this mean peter deserves to be mugged? that's a disgraceful thing to say.

  • You're an idiot, if I ever see you walking the street I'm going to smear orange marmalade all over you and stake you to a fire ant hill.

  • jetsonic; people like you are what is wrong with this world

  • shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...sleeping

  • I posted a video response, but real quick reply here. It SHOULD all be fixed real soon, may mean a rebuild of the site (very sorry) but we'll have dedicated hosting now. Growing pains is all it really is. Thanks SO MUCH for all your love to Peter!

  • Yo go peter. I hope things work out, I noticed that you now have a wiki page as well.

  • Cool

  • TOOMANY HITS ON THE WEBSITE LOL! wow thats awesome

  • IMPORTANT: PLEASE DO NOT EMAIL PETER OR ME! I AM AWARE THAT ASKGERIATRIC.COM IS DOWN! I do not know WHY it is down but I have called the hosting company (it's still 6am there so they aren't in) and told them to get on this FAST! It WILL be back, at the latest, by tomorrow morning, if I have to move to a different hosting company to do it. If that happens it'll mean I have to rebuild the site from scratch but I'm more than willing to do that if need be. Please be patient. Thanks, Mike.

  • No problem Mike - best of luck and look forward to the new site soon.

    SPAMMERS AND REGULAR COMMENTERS: Please allow the notice about Peter's website to stay on the first page of comments for at least a few hours. I've received over 2000 emails since 7:30am, it's 11:30 and I have got to get some sleep here. PLEASE!!!

  • Aww! I love u!! You rick!!

    Kepp them coming!!!

  • Keep us posted on the site ^_^

    Love,

    Shlie

  • We're with you Peter. Carry on, mate!

  • I think you should find someone that is more websavy, cost shouldnt be that "huge" as implied.

  • Hang in there both of ya. Most of us are familiar with the glitches and obstacles of the web. I'll be patiently looking forward to seeing the site when it's up and running smoothly.

  • How cool is that you broke the server! thats because everyone loves you Peter! If you had a paypal I would donate too so you could have a nice website.

    Regards~Brett

  • Hi Peter, thanks very much for the explanation, we really appreciate the fact you've taken time to explain the reasons as to why your website is down.

    We'll be patient...we're your friends.

  • Dear Peter: We all love to watch your videos and you have taught us so much about flexibility and not being afraid to learn something new at any age. Perhaps taking on new challenges is what makes you so special. I will look forward to the new web address when it gets going. Thanks so much.

  • Alright! S'bout time you're a director Peter :P

    Looking forward to the 10+ minutes of videos.

  • ok AWESOME vid

  • Hi Peter :)

    My first ever comment on your videos! But i have been watching them for weeks :)

    Why dont you set up the forum on proboards? Then set up a website and have it link to the forum? That way you dont use as much bandwidth on one server?

  • Listen. You don't have to have your own video hosting. Just have a simple site of text and have links to your youtube videos. You could almost do it your self with notepad, or even something like myspace.com.

  • keep up the great work old man peter.

  • Dear Peter,

    Take all the time you both need. Thinking about you and Mike and I can't wait to hear another story. I would also be willing to donate to a PayPal account.

    We are all here for you!

    Love,

    TraceyDanine

  • I'd donate a bit if you had a paypal. :+)

  • How much storage and bandwidth do you anticipate that you will need?

    I may be able to do something...

  • I'm happy to contribute financially for the site costs as well

  • Yay your a director now

  • I'd help pay too - I agree with the PayPal account to help pay for the web site. Sorry to hear Mike isn't well! Take care both of you - we love you both!

  • why can we not post a video response to you Peter Yor are great. You broke the server. We love you. Keep the videos coming to us. They are fun and educational too

    Mathproblems

  • Translation please?

  • Congrats on the Director account Peter. Thanks for keeping us updated on the Website situation and I look forward to its return.

  • Bringing down the server might well have been a start-phenomenon, as "everybody" wanted to go have a look-see. I would think that the load will eaven out when people get used to the site being there.

    Thanks, as always, Peter

  • What website??

  • too big for them to handle huh? hope to see a new website up.

  • thanks for the update peter, i tried to log in today at the website but it was down so i went to mikes youtube profile and there was a comment he had put that said that it was down and not to worry as he knew about it...

    hope it gets up soon :)

  • Hi Peter

    Welcom back, hope the website are back son :)

  • we will patiently wait ...don't worry yourself or Mike ,lots of other things to do whilst you lot get it together. What alot of new vocabulary coming our way...fun.

    Do you every watch QI with the wonderful Stephen Fry? Take care.love char

  • sneeky now youre a director!

  • awsdoem!1\

  • kpoool keep them pumping!

  • Yes Peter, if you think it appropriate, many of us would be happy to pitch in to help with expenses. Think about a donation button on your site using PayPal. Your videos are certainly worth a few bob and I would be happy to help when I am able!

  • God bless you both Peter

  • Hi Grandpa Peter, think of the suggestion of a PayPal account. It's only a few pence/cent for the lots of people who would help.

  • Finaly got your director account well desevered

  • He must have just applied for it. I got mine approved in about 12 hours. Just thought I'd mention that so people don't feel it's a difficult proceedure and are discouraged from applying.

  • I was referring to my Directors account.

  • Good luck with it Peter. Something similar happened to me a couple of years ago, when I first put up a page mocking David Hasselhoff (in an affectionate way). Thousands of people tried to view it at once and it pushed my bandwidth up. Needless to say, that will never happen again.

  • I have just noticed you have a directors account nice going :)

    bringing down a server a pretty nice acheivment as well

  • I've watched this video three times and I never noticed it till I read your comment LOL --- ROCK ON PETER!

  • I have no idea why but I always click and watch your vids as quick as I can.

  • wow :D hi peter im loving the videos

    i have just spent a day catching up with all your videos all this malarky is silly

  • Such a sweetie!

  • Peter = King of the Internet

  • You'll have to become a TV star to help pay for your own website Peter!

  • thx for the update dude.

    if you want a free forum you could try clidev! or invisionfree or others.
