  • I hope you continue to be blessed with good health and you can do this for a really long time. You certainly have had many adventures Peter.

    Lauren:)

  • Thanks for the words of inspiration, grandad.

  • You're simply wonderful, Peter :)

  • Certainly I can't call you grandad because you're three years younger than my own father, but my seventeen old daughter surely can. Both of us were among your first fans. Thanks for all the good moments you have given us. Take care. We love you. Blessings from your peruvian friends.

  • Congratulations Peter! I havent really watched any of your videos recently, however its great to see that youre still at it and keep up the good spirit. You've come a long way and I hope you continue for as long as possible. Your persistence is admirable and I look up to you. Thanks.

  • you dont bore me to death peter!

  • ... from no. 1 in the world you only can go down...

    lol Peter... well said... putting your critics off-site with a smile ;)

    I enjoyed this video as much as I enjoyed all the others!

  • Grandadddddd :)

  • we love you Peter !!!

  • :):):) Go on, Peter!

  • You are a brilliant phenomenon and a wonderful person.

  • My Grandad died,you are fine in what you do Sir,you are everyones Grandad! We all adore you Sir.

  • Just checking and sure enough, a blog from 'Grandad.' Brilliant!

  • I remember you were a little bit reserved about all of the attention you were getting when you first started posting. It's been interesting to see how well you've adapted to the attention and not let it change who you are and what you do. It's been a real pleasure to watch and listen to you.

  • I just love listening to your stories. I would love nothing more than to curl up in a chair with a cup of tea and a blanket and spend some time with you Peter. You are just WONDERFUL! SMileyD

  • You are a Great Man! We all LOVE YOU dearly!

  • God Bless you Peter!

  • What a lovely video.

    Was a great pleasure to meet you.

    You are 1 in a million, keep uploading the videos, as you can see from the replies, you are still very popular.

    Anything u need help with or a friend to chat with you know where I am.

    The letters you receive telling you how you have changed peoples lives or give them hope from dire situations is much more rewarding than the viewing figures.

    May it long continue.

  • always a pleasure to watch you peter! keep up the good work.

  • i enjoyed this thank you

  • I must admit that I can't keep up with all your video blogs but I enjoy them when I can sit down and catch up.

    Viewing figures are irrelevant. This isn't a competition, as you say you already know that you have a following and no-one can keep those very high figures you were getting for ever.

    Funny how some people find joy in pointing that out. I'm sure those posters have had a huge following as well. lol

    Anyway I love coming to YouTube and seeing that you have new video blogs. :)

  • I'm always happy to see you!! You're such a wonderful perosn!

  • Coolio:P

  • Pleasure watching you always, Peter. I'm not watching every one of your vids, but on occassions I watch one of them and it's always memorable and a pleasure.

  • We never want you to leave!

  • Thanks Peter. Thanks for sayin'. Stick around then- we've gotten used to you; you've so much more to say!!

  • Peter,

    May I wish you very good health and many more years of YouTube videos.

    Always enjoy them.

  • I love you man! I never had a grandad. They both died long before I was born. I love seeing you on here.

  • I've nothing but love for you, sir!

  • I remember 3 years ago calling you "grandad of youtube" I don't have a grandfather anymore, so you're very interesting.

  • Grandad is a very nice word for a dear person. It's associated to many nice feelings and childhood memories. At least for me.

  • C'mon, God, keep this guy around a few more decades!

  • ooh, and I'm in NZ now and I've seen you on the TV in the telecom ads alot. :D

  • viewing figures are not accurate, true. it just means that it's received as much hits, it doesn't mean that the video was watched from start to finish that many times.

    i recall many times clicking onto a video thinking it's something worth watching only to find out it's utter crap.

    but your videos are great to watch; i never had a chance to really get to know my granddads, so it gives me a good feeling hearing your warm grandfathery voice. :D there's much wisdom there.

  • someone get peter a clipon mic

  • I love watching each and every one of your videos Peter. Thank you so much for continuing to share your life with us. I hope you have gotten as much enjoyment making as we have watching.

  • I've been watching for years now. I can't even believe it when I looks back at your old videos and see the dates next to them.

    Suffice it to say, I'll be here for as long as you continue making videos. :)

  • Really nice video. Please keep them coming. I always watch when I have the time and they are among my favourites.

  • Thank you for this heart warming video Peter, youtube would not be the same with out you.

  • Thank you for continuing to share with us on YouTube! No video is too long, and I have never been bored by your tales.

    Happy cooking!

  • ANother Cracker, Peter

  • Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us Peter. It really is comforting watching you talk about your life. :) You do very much remind me of my late grandad.

  • who really cares about viewing figures? if a person reaches and touches just dozen people then they should be thrilled. who cares who was or is number one. in the end it matters not. it's a frickin blog. plus fame is relative. if you ever had aspirations of fame and fortune i think that was unrealistic. people who are entertainers become rich. you are a very nice man who is easy to listen to. and you should be proud of what you have done here sir.

  • YOU ARE STILL NUMBER ONE!!! ALWAYS WILL BE. (I do not often use capital letters) XXOO :O) What did you think of Zeitgeist? Did you see the movie(s)?

  • I will watch you for as long as your here Peter...I enjoy watching you..you have such a calming voice...I do think you have become the worlds granddad for so many people around the world...keep doing what your doing..: O )

  • Peter your videos are as enjoyable now as they were when I first began watching you almost 3 yrs ago. Thank you for taking the time to keep on doing what you're doing - we all love you :)

    Kxx

  • As long as you enjoy it who cares what other folk say, I think your brill, Keep it up!

  • ur awsome

  • Keep on doing what you're doing !

  • I love you XD

  • The ads in New Zealand did more than advertise telecom it also brought viewers like myself to you ( which im very happy about ). All i can say is keep going with your videos more people like them that dislike them and they are in no way boring.

  • I love hearing all of your stories. I have done, since your very first video.

    Come to think of it, I might see if that is on your profile page and watch it again.... :-)

  • You be mega cool. I still be here.

  • Not boring at all!!!! Love all of your videos!

  • (YAWN) Yeesh, will you just be quiet already, you're boring everyone to death with all your views and five star ratings and television appearances, I mean you'd think by now you'd recognize that everyone is bored. :) hehehehe.

    Hugs,

    Michael

  • best everrrrrrr

  • I love your voice, its very calming and nice to listen too.

  • He is calming, isn't he?

  • He really is

  • i enjoy listening to your stories they do not bore me

  • I'm so happy you've shared so much with so many people, and will continue to do so as more people discover your videos over time. You are a wonderful person and I wish you the best.

  • Oh Peter, why must we hear from the nay sayers. There are so many many sad miserable people out there.

    You are a god sent.

  • I agree, you're never boring to me. I enjoy listening to you and watching your videos. It's been a pleasure.

  • Peter, you'll always be my favorite Grandad. And you deserve all of this fame because you're such a kind man. All the best, Al

  • Awesome.

  • Peter, all you need to remember is that your video's are going to be watched for years to come. I'm afraid you are part of the early(ish) history of the internet and (with maybe a bit more of an insight for the future than most) I have a strong suspicion these recordings will be studied within my lifetime. WS, OU.

  • I love having someone with a little, well, experience on Youtube. We have a lot fewer opportunities to hear some words of wisdom from our elders these days so you are providing a real service to your viewers.

  • You are not boring at all!

    One thing that is great about your videos is that you are able to talk in one constant clip and still keep my intrest. Many YouTubers use all kinds of editing to make their videos interesting, you don't have to do any of that :P

  • Great video.

    "Grandad" of the internet seems like a very honourable title to me :)

    The internet is such a vast place that having any kind of title is quite an accomplishment.

  • P.S. try Basmati rice, it tastes much better than ordinary rice.

  • What a wonderfull experience YouTube has been for you , Peter. It has given you a second life, much better than putting your feet up with your metaphorical pipe and slippers. But you have given so much inspiration to others. Because you had the guts to put yourself on what was seen as a teen forum, you have inspired many more older people to have a go. I also think your early fame helped to promote YouTube and make it as big as it is today.

  • Here here.

  • Yeah right on, at the risk of them banning my account..good old Y.T need to divvy up and show this guy some way serious Coinage! CAN-DO!

  • GrandDad, thank you for being on YouTube. I really enjoy your vids and look forward to seeing new vids by you. Please keep it up!!!!!

  • Goodness Peter you are not boring!Thank you for your time and sharing your wonderful life with us.

  • Peter, the one accusation that could never be thrown at you is that your videos or yourself are boring. On the contrary, they're informative, witty, arty and fun!

    You have done so much with your life with more still to come. I for one can't wait until the next video.

  • Peter I've alway held to the dream that goodness and decency would in the end be rewarded and cherished. I think you're a wonderful example of this!

  • God Bless You Peter. ^^

    Wonderfull Story as per usual.

    You're My Internet Grandad (: You're Awesome!! ♥

  • Great to hear from you peter, have a nice day :)

  • you are wonderful and while I can't speak for everybody you certainly don't bore me.

  • I hear the queen of jordain rania is a sweet person. I am happy for you met her.

  • May you live forever, Sir Peter.

  • Like you - I watch 'em - but don't always comment -

    BUT when someone says something so-o outrageous as you just said - about numbers going down & boring people....

    YOU DON'T BORE ME!!!

    May you be on YouTube as long as you so desire & may you live a long & healthy life...

    Much love & respect from California :)

  • Wonderful story! Thanks for sharing!

  • Stick around tiz a pleasure to watch.

    I would personally like to hear more about your biking days and perhaps for you to share you knowledge of the technology. Its not often you get to hear it all from a bloke that lived the good years of british bikes... and somebody with such a vast knowledge of the gear

  • Ive been watching your videos for years peter, i've loved everyone of them

  • Thank's Peter.

  • you never bore me i enjoy watching your videos

  • Peter I've been watching for over a year and a half. Thank you so much for your wisdom and pleasant videos. I've always enjoyed them, and I will watch as long as you continue to post!

  • Great video :)

  • Such an inspiring story. The numbers may go down but I think your influence only increases.

  • Granddad!!

  • I can just imagine people who don't know geriatric1927 see this video and say to themselves:

    "What a poor old man. He must have lost his mind. Television shows from across the world? Music contracts? Silly old bugger probably does'nt even know he's spinning stories".

    If only they knew, huh?

  • You're a dear Peter, and its been a joy to know you here at YT. I always smile when I see you've a new vid up. God bless

  • Gee, your volume is a tad low. Always happy to watch your vids.

  • I always love it when I see a new video by you, Peter. You are such an awesome person.

  • Peter I like you and your vids!

  • Your awesome!

  • great video peter, you are great at what you do, please keep it up.

  • Haha 'you can only go down' that made me laugh Grandad, you are so lovely. Keep making your wonderful videos :)

  • another brilliant video peter!

    your video's always put me in a good mood!

  • i don't have a granddad, so you will have to do. Keep on making vids, they're great.

  • Lets hope your health holds up and keep posting your videos no matter how "rambling" you think they are.You are more busy with all of this in you retirement than when you were working in your day job.Keep it up.

  • "because i must bore you to tears" haha, you are the most adorable person i know! i love listening to your voice, it comforts me for some reason.

    and what a pity you didn't come to switzerland! but i live in switz so i know what you meant when you said it was too expensive :/

    anyway, have an amazing day!

  • Your videos always makes me smile :) so thank you Peter.

  • nice to hear from you via your videos.

    ~holly in u.s

  • What a lovely video Peter:)

  • Love you, Peter!!

  • Peter,

    I really enjoyed this particular video - very touching.

    I subscribed to you & and your channel almost 2 years ago and I have been humbled by your curiosity for joining YouTube and the Internet community in general; seeing as you are the "Grandad" of the Internet.

    I always look forward to hearing and seeing you - makes me smile.

    With Kind Regards,

  • Hello to Peter from Costa Rica

  • Love the videos ! ! -Glad your making them

  • Me too :]

  • Always enjoyed your video. Keep it coming, and thanks!!!

  • I always look forward to your videos Peter.

  • Awesome, Keep it up we'll be watching.

  • Always love your videos... popularity isn't everything. At least your views are from people who actually appriciated your videos.

    All the best from Belgium

  • I am sitting here wondering. What would your wife think of all of this? How would this have played out if she were still alive?

    Do you have a picture of her... I'm not sure I've seen any. PS we have the Brits from Arbroath here visiting this week. I put a Scottish Flag on the front of the house when they are around. I'll get a picture later and send along.

  • Cool man!

    But to bad your not that popular anymore :(

  • Rock on!

  • Has it been 3 years already? Wow, time goes by fast... Hope to see you here for a long long time :-)

  • You could NEVER bore me, 'Grandad'...

    you seem like the sweetest and most

    sincere person I've seen on YouTube.

    I'm so thrilled for all the opportunities you've been given, especially in your golden years. You are loved by many...and

    to hell with viewer stats...who needs 'em!!!

    All the best to you, sweetie,and looking forward to seeing you on here for MANY years to come!

    Hugs, my dear....Sheri~

  • Actually, Peter, I'm beginning to gain interest. I used to be impatient like a lot of people are. It's not their fault, though. In today's world there is a certain need for quickness. Your videos are some of those I look forward to the most nowadays.

    Much Respect from Denmark.

  • Hello, Peter.

    it is almost 5 a.m. here. I am making buttons for an art center that I volunteer for. I am watch your video as I work

    You met the queen of Jordan? I am intrigued by her and her desire to modernize her country. She is sending a great message to the region.

  • You hardly bore anyone, I dare say:) Nice to hear about everything your YouTube-experience has been giving you!

  • Paul, I love you. Your videos are great and bring me many happy and joyful moments.

  • I look forward to each of your videos. They are a pleasure to listen to. Thank you.

  • What a nice video this is. Yes, mentioning you Grandad, it is a good feeling I think, that you give people, familiar like a granddad.

    I don't have grandchildren, but found one here, haha... just one of my friends called me that once, haha... so now I have one too!!! Finally!

    I hope you will stay here for a very very long time in good health!

    Roeleke :-)

  • very funny, RyanGFair...not.

  • I love how he calls the media, "meteor".

  • yep, and don't forget "Chin-er" (China)

  • great video but when did you upload this? its five in the morning here.GO TO BED!!(just kidding )

    i dont believe i've ever commented on one of your videos , though I have watched them all and you where and still are a breath of fresh air compared to other vloggers here , to me anyways keep it up.

    seriously though ...GO TO BED!!(

  • he lives in the uk lol

  • It's 11:30 in the morning where he lives.

  • ye but HERE it's  11:50. When he posted the vid it was about 8/9 in the morning.

  • I'm glad you are here to share your stories and thoughs. People like me really like to know things from people with life experience and who see things as they happened, which is also a nice thing as we come from two different nations as well so there is even more of a perspective difference for us to learn from.

  • Indeed keep up the good work and would love to see a few more "Geriatric Cooking" videos I love them!

  • I agree, misterbearbe...LOVE the cooking vids. : ]

  • geriatric, you are the best. views dont make a video. your videos are great. keep doing your thing. i hope you will be well enough to do them forever.

  • Great stuff

  • People who really love and respect you still watch your video's, I havn't missed a single one, and yes I do view alot of them more than once, so viewing figures are not an accurate account of how many people have seen them, your'e still NUMBER ONE to me.xxx

  • i say keep up the good work.

    alot of us learn from you .

    as my grand father used to say you can learn alot from an older person:)
