A big thankyou to everyone that has sent me such kind regards. I had no idea my channel was so well received. Regarding my health, sadly I will not get better, it can only go in one direction from here. On a lighter note, an odd thing has happened. Since announcing my channel closure over 100 new people have subscribed to my channel!! very odd!!
Thank you for all the education on electronics over the years, Michael. A part of you will always be in my home. I bought the over engineered Quad 405 clone power amp you assembled and it is still working extremely well. God bless. Cheers.
Thank you for taking the time over the past few years, it has been a pleasure and informative to watch. Best of luck for the future and I wish you the best for the future. Please leave the channel up so we can refer back to this content. Again, thank you for taking the time to produce these over the past few years.
Dear Michael, I am so sorry to hear of health issues. I really appreciated all your content and your honest approach. Thanks for all of the interesting videos you have posted on the channel. I would like to wish you all the best with your health and thanks again.
Thank you Mr.Beeny for the time you invested into imparting and sharing the deep knowledge with us. I think there arent many folks like you who in the real sense analyze, share and opine around gear thats appealing to the the DIY community. I for one will miss you and your videos. Be well, i wish you the best always. Love from India.
Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge! At a time when many are too happy to leave the hard stuff to Asia, your candid approach to teaching some of it was a beacon of light.
Thank you Mr. Beeny for all the time and effort you have invested in your channel. As a beginner in electronic's, I appreciate your teaching style and explanation's, and I have chosen products based on your recommendations. Best Wishes from the island of Guam
Dear Michael, I am so sorry to see you go. Although I am a relatively experienced repairman and diy-er (not at your level yet, but I am getting there !) I must say I got both educated and inspired by your videos, to continue being involved with audio electronics. As others pointed out, I enjoyed your honesty, your detailed information, but also your sense of humor in your videos. I do hope you will change your mind and continue being with us. I wish you the best of luck with your health, together with a big "THANK YOU" for your contribution to our community.
It's hard to put a thumbs up for this video, because I enjoy seeing your videos so much, it's hard to hear this will be the last. Best of health to you. Thank you for the videos.
I enjoyed watching your videos, and I learned a lot from you. You put all necessary things on such a simple way without fancy overtechnical talk. You said just what it needs to be said. I hope your health gets better and you get bored after some time and bless us with more of videos :)
I'm Shocked. Such a nice guy. Thank you for taking time out to teach us all and showing us your hobby. I've enjoyed watching your videos. I'm sure your videos will be watched for a long time. Many thanks and all the very best and health to you. Tony
Thank you for the videos Michael. After watching many of them, I've just started to build my own L12/2 amplifier and home brew pre-amp. Wishing you the very best for the future.
As an older person myself, I have also developed an inhibiting medical issue over the last month. Like others here, I've enjoyed your lighter presentation style of some very technical stuff. Keep well and take care, Beamer.
Dear Michael Many thanks for your many good videos, it has been interesting to follow them, and never mind that there have been a few slips along the way, you have always corrected them with text on the screen. You have done a lot to tell about fake components. I didn't even realize that the problem was so big with chips and capacitors. Hope your health holds up and you have many more good years! Have a very Happy New Year, don't hold back if you feel like making even a few videos. Thanks again!
It's really sad to see you go! You taught me alot about the 5532s and also how to modify them for better sound! Thank you for your contributions and analysis of many class D amplifiers, and showing what they actually put out and their shortcomings. It's sad to see that this is your last video but you have contributed a lot to my knowledge and to the audio community, I really hope you can keep these videos up and allow your hard work to continue to educate future viewers as they are very helpful to many people. I wish you the best in your health and future!
I’ve truly enjoyed your videos and personality. You’ve provided enjoyment and education. I’ll miss watching you. I’m sorry about your health issues but I wish you the best of luck sir. Thank you
I must add my great sadness to everyone else's at this possibly being your last video. I have very much enjoyed watching your videos and continue to re-watch a number of them. You have an excellent way of explaining things and a great presentation style. Please keep in touch and I hope that your health improves greatly in the new year. As an earlier posting said, relax and enjoy life. Very best wishes and warmest greetings from California.
You have been a great teacher and I have learned and gained much knowledge from you and your videos. God bless you and wish you the best in the future! Much love and respect from a loyal viewer from Texas.
Dear Michael, Sorry to hear you're stopping the channel for the reasons you mentioned. I've followed you for a few years and always enjoyed your way of working, explaining and the result. I hope your health will get better again and I wish you all the best and thank you for the many hours of pleasure you gave me. With best regards, Bert Straathof, Leiden, The Netherlands.
I discovered this channel today and on the same day I learned of its end. The important thing is that here you have demonstrated your love for audio and your willingness to help. My thanks, greetings and best wishes from Ouro Preto, MG, Brazil.
Sorry you have only just discovered my channel today and been greeted by channel closing news. At least my back catalog will still be available to you and everyone.
Thank you for the years of informative videos, Michael. I've learned an awful lot from you and it's greatly appreciated. Best wishes for your health and happiness in 2023, for both you and your wife. Kind regards, Raj (UK)
I’ve loved your videos Michael. Plus thanks for your insight into my Cambridge A100 power amp. I wish you and your family all the best going forward. I’d shake your hand but I live in the uk.
Your channel was very entertaining and informative. Sorry to hear you are having health issues. Prayers for you and your family for a favorable outcome and many more years of enjoying retired life.
Michael, you have done some excellent videos over the years and I'm going to miss your content and your dry sense of humour. I will pray for you my friend. Be happy with your wife (and family?). Thank you for your knowledge, time and effort You will be missed.
Thanks Michael for all of the interesting videos you have posted on the channel, it is so sad to see it coming to an end but you must have your reasons for that. I would like to wish you and family a happy 2023 and thanks again. Regards Dave Fletcher.
So sorry to hear you are closing down due to health. I hope you're ok. Ive only just stumbled upon your channel today after seeing your PCB holder video. I hope you manage to get your health issues resolved. Best wishes x
Hope your health gets better. Wish you all the best! I've watched a lot of your videos and have been inspired to build a few of them myself, and a few still not built, but in the pipe to be made when all parts are sourced. Please don't erase your channel, there's not much as good and satisfying to watch as your builds and your good sense of humor and knowledge. Kind regards Henrik from Sweden.
Hi Michael, I've enjoyed your videos - thank you for the time you've put into them. I wish you all the best with your health. Cheers, Vintage Radio Steve

Back in 2012, Mike, and his co-star, took a trip on the Pukemiro Bush Tramway on location in New Zealand, where they documented the train line and ancient NZR steam crane. If you look closely , you can see a Dashing young lad in all his vigor and glory he brought to the Digital cinema of the time. His very first amplifier test was that of the TPA-3123, starting a long chain of videos on the subject.

We must come to the end of our review of this wonderful Filmographer. -------------- ------------------- Today, December 30, 2022. Mr. Beeny has decided to take focus on his health & from his rigors of the demanding film schedule he has been keeping pace with since the first time he entered the film and Audio / Electronic production industry. Though I am quite saddened by this news, I have still not come to terms with this. As a highly regarded ranking Member of the most infamous Internet Basket weaving forum, (Otherwise known as the Armpit of the internet) , I am with great displeasure and sadness hearing the news of his works to no longer adorn us, & leaving the UA-cam Community VOD service sometime in the future. I am actually in tears hearing this news. And I am in less than jolly spirits on such a festive coming of a New Year only hours away. I will miss his Wonderful voice and pace. And his filmography style is a lost art in today's moviescape; Second to none I would say. In, Referendum: ____And in quite British fashion? Micheal Benny, ( like the trains in London) , has the WORST TIMING IMAGINABLE of ANY BRITISH MAN on Earth! * Though this may be this reviewer's opinion, I assure you this is indeed, A FACT. OF ALL THE TIME you could drop this bomb on us Mr. Beeny, YOU HAD TO DO THIS NOW? Oh Bother… I guess Life moves at the speed of time. And time waits for no man. I hope this serves as a reminder to us all to enjoy the people we love and be a part of their lives as much as we can. I still have hope that this may not be his last video. But all I can do is hope. I don’t like seeing people go Mr. Beeny. Not at all. But I understand. And I am forever grateful you shared your life and experiences with it all. It made the world a better place sir. It really did. And I Thank you humbly. One of your Biggest Fans. The Infamous, iMickey503 😇 PS. If you ever need anything Mr. Beeny, please reach out and ask. Its no trouble or bother at all.
Well, what can I say, is that me you are talking about?? It's not often you can read your obituary before you are dead!! I'm really humbled by your effort in compiling this. Thank you so much. I think I need a cuppa T after reading this.
Thank for so many interesting videos. Like a few people, I suspect, I ended up on this channel after seeing some of your work on trademe. Thank you Michael. Best wishes with your health.
Thanks... let me tell you that YOUR videos were very informative to know the intricate of this kind of equipment and it shows that you are a very knowledge person, I'm sure that we will miss your videos... be well and thanks again.
Thanks Michael, i really liked your video's, your experience and your pace. I even built some of youre pre amps. Hope you are doing well and stay well.
I'm sorry to hear that your health is not good, Michael. I have always enjoyed your videos and your honest approach on quality or not of some of the products you received. Some of the products were truly bad and gave us a chuckle. Daz
I am very sorry to hear this. I really enjoyed Benny's recordings. Benny's channel is one of only a few I follow. His pleasant style, great knowledge and the gloom he exhibits were a joy to watch. I welcome him in the hope that he will change his mind.
Hello Michael, I just discovered your channel, looking for inputs on the TPA3255 and got very sad to know you are closing the channel down. Anyway, thank you for all the time and money you put on it and be sure your love for all this transpires on your videos. Hope your health is better and, please, let us know from time to time if everything is ok. Cheers. Mauricio from Brasil.
Thank you for your kind thought, I really appreciate them. No plans at present but I would like to think one day in the future I might pop out the odd video. We shall see! Once again, thank you Mauricio.
@Michael Beany. Your videos are amazing. I only subscribed just two days ago. I am saddened to hear you will no longer be contributing. You are a wealth of information and I will continue consuming your videos. Thank you for your amazing contribution to the audiophile world!!
@@MichaelBeeny So far they have all been very much worth my time 👍😀. Thanks again for all of your vids and your time. Creating videos and running a channel is extremely time consuming with the payoff usually being the great feeling of knowing your helping others. Cheers to all the years and dedication.
@@MichaelBeeny Only one or two? ;) It's really hard to point out a single one which isn't. But I take your comment on this as another example of how big loss myself and other viewers will suffer if your channel goes down. Anyway, wishing you all the best with your health. Best regards from far away (Poland).
I really enjoyed your channel, it's simple approach, the product reviews, the mods and there's always something I'm interested in watching. The highlights are countless, many include all the witty observations but your knowledge is the real showstopper. Best wishes for 2023 and thank you from Sydney.
I wish you well sir, my apologies for watching your videos and enjoying your channel for almost a full year and only just now, after getting this video in my feed, have i realized that i forgot to subscribe. Thank you for the very informative and entertaining videos and channel. I found you when I discovered amplifier modules and started planning my own entertainment reciever from various modules available on the internet. Audio and electronics have been hobbies of mine for the majority of my life. I'm hoping to have another 40 years in me so i hope that the knowlwedge that the information and inspiration I've garnered from this channel will live on after you've left us will return a small amount of the blessings you've given me to yourself. Thank you again and god's speed good sir!
Thank you very much for all of your videos! It's really sad to see you go. Stay safe and keep healthty for all of us, will ya. Thank you! I really do hope you can teach some of us noobs in electronics to use the measuring equipments like you have. But I can understand if you would like to enjoy more of your free time. Sorry for my poor English since I'm not a native speaker. I wish you all the best.
@Michael Beany thank you so much for making your videos, very sad knowing that this is the last. please do leave your videos up so my self and others can refer back to them in the future. take care all the best
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and views on the state of electronics, the video contains so many of of your nuggets of knowledge 😊 Your proper method of RMS measurements and amplifier reviews were useful for my audio amp journey. I found your videos when looking for tda 3255 amp knowledge. Request to please not throw away your precious equipment and amps, they can be sold off or donated to a nearby school
Sorry to see you go, Mike. I have learned a lot and enjoyed your videos tremendously. I especially appreciate your hands-on, zero-BS practical approach which helped me through several DIY projects. Thank you very much! Wishing you happiness and health for 2023 and beyond :)
All your videos are very informative. It is indeed a pleasure to watch your videos. You shared every minute details of amplifier making which will be a treasure for all viewers. Inspired by your videos, presently I am building an amplifier using LJM L12/2 Board. We are definitely going to miss you. All the best and you are and will be my inspiration always.
I am very sorry to hear this. I just discovered your channel. I wish you well and heal. please do not delete your material. it is very helpful. please don't throw anything away. if you can donate your devices. I would proudly give it a place in my home.
Don't worry Demian, I will not be throwing away anything of value. Only odd bits of stuff I have blown up, damaged, or stuff that SHOULD in the rubbish bin.
Hi Michael, Sad to see your excellent channel closing. But more important is your health. I wish well for the new year and the future. Thank you for all your hard work in putting out your videos for our enjoyment. Good luck Good health and THANK you. Regards. Geoff.
I wish you all the best and I thank you for all your videos, you left admirable legacy here. I just found your channel thats to your op amp video about fake op amps, I will be watching more, your legacy lives on no matter what happens. On another note, you look quite good, like you still have some good miles left, whatever they told you, do not give up on yourself. And believe me, I am not holding back words, if on first glance you looked like you're about to kick it, I would've told you. But you just don't look like it.
Sad to hear about closing of your channel.i got a recommendation of your channel just a few days ago. I found some important information. I subscribed to it. #Love from India🇮🇳
A big thankyou to everyone that has sent me such kind regards. I had no idea my channel was so well received. Regarding my health, sadly I will not get better, it can only go in one direction from here. On a lighter note, an odd thing has happened. Since announcing my channel closure over 100 new people have subscribed to my channel!! very odd!!
Maybe UA-cam is not ready to say goodbye to you totally. Maybe you could just talk about kit parts with you building and testing
@@matt4days I have a number of videos I have never posted, might re edit a couple of these later and post, who knows!!
Thank you for all the education on electronics over the years, Michael. A part of you will always be in my home. I bought the over engineered Quad 405 clone power amp you assembled and it is still working extremely well. God bless. Cheers.
Still working !!! wow lol. Don't want a few more amplifiers, do you??
@@MichaelBeeny Well, now that you mention it, I will take that Accuphase 3850 preamp clone off you, just name your price.
Thank you for taking the time over the past few years, it has been a pleasure and informative to watch. Best of luck for the future and I wish you the best for the future. Please leave the channel up so we can refer back to this content. Again, thank you for taking the time to produce these over the past few years.

*Bad Timing* is a 1980's British film directed by Nicolas Roeg and starring Art Garfunkel, Theresa Russell, Harvey Keitel, and Denholm Elliott. Today's showing will include the remake of _Bad Timing_ , starring the distinguished Gentleman & documentarian _Michael Beeny_ . Showcasing the lovely TDA-7293 in Kit form.
The remake of Bad Timing, while quite cheerful & pleasant overall, has a Mellon collie to it that is difficult for this reviewer to understand.
In his 10 year run on UA-cam, Mike has had such great hits as the TPA-3255, and his very first video, The pre-opening of the 6 screen UCI cinema at Port Solent. Expertly Filmed back in 2000 by Mike Beeny, the Chief technical engineer at that time.
With musical score provided by JOHN WILLIAMS.
Back in 2012, Mike, and his co-star, took a trip on the Pukemiro Bush Tramway on location in New Zealand, where they documented the train line and ancient NZR steam crane. If you look closely , you can see a Dashing young lad in all his vigor and glory he brought to the Digital cinema of the time.
His very first amplifier test was that of the TPA-3123, starting a long chain of videos on the subject.
Back in 2015 Mr. Beeny showed the world how AJAX could be used to clean car headlights for just a few cents. The video was well received and garnered well over 180,000 views.
Also that year, Mike released a vintage treasure _38_ years in the making:

In the video, Mike stops by to see a projector unit in the city of Pampanga.
The movie ends with a fade out to a 747 Jumbo airliner going to its next port of call.
1998: 24 years ago, Mike & his wife took there first flight from Manchester (UK) to KL Malaysia, In Business class On the upper deck of a 747. Staying at the Pan Pacific Hotel. Part of the airport complex.

But alas. We must come to the end of our review of this wonderful Filmographer.
--------------
-------------------
Today, December 30, 2022. Mr. Beeny has decided to take focus on his health & from his rigors of the demanding film schedule he has been keeping pace with since the first time he entered the film and Audio / Electronic production industry.
Though I am quite saddened by this news, I have still not come to terms with this.
As a highly regarded ranking Member of the most infamous Internet Basket weaving forum, (Otherwise known as the Armpit of the internet) , I am with great displeasure and sadness hearing the news of his works to no longer adorn us, & leaving the UA-cam Community VOD service sometime in the future.
I am actually in tears hearing this news. And I am in less than jolly spirits on such a festive coming of a New Year only hours away.
I will miss his Wonderful voice and pace. And his filmography style is a lost art in today's moviescape; Second to none I would say.
In, Referendum:
____And in quite British fashion? Micheal Benny, ( like the trains in London) , has the WORST TIMING IMAGINABLE of ANY BRITISH MAN on Earth! *
Though this may be this reviewer's opinion, I assure you this is indeed, A FACT.
OF ALL THE TIME you could drop this bomb on us Mr. Beeny, YOU HAD TO DO THIS NOW?
Oh Bother…
I guess Life moves at the speed of time. And time waits for no man.
I hope this serves as a reminder to us all to enjoy the people we love and be a part of their lives as much as we can.
I still have hope that this may not be his last video. But all I can do is hope.
I don’t like seeing people go Mr. Beeny. Not at all.
But I understand.
And I am forever grateful you shared your life and experiences with it all.
It made the world a better place sir. It really did. And I Thank you humbly.
One of your Biggest Fans.

PS. If you ever need anything Mr. Beeny, please reach out and ask. Its no trouble or bother at all.
Well, what can I say, is that me you are talking about?? It's not often you can read your obituary before you are dead!! I'm really humbled by your effort in compiling this. Thank you so much. I think I need a cuppa T after reading this.
Very SAD. I have enjoyed your honesty and knowledge. I wish you well.
Thank you, sir!!!👍
Style, grace, knowledge and humor. I cannot ask for more.
Keep well and take care.
Thank you for your kind words, much appreciated.
Thank you for the content through the years. Take care and all the best Michael
Sad to see you go, wishing you all the best.
Thank for so many interesting videos. Like a few people, I suspect, I ended up on this channel after seeing some of your work on trademe. Thank you Michael. Best wishes with your health.
May you always stay in good health. I was thinking today to start my channel and watched this video. You are a brave man thanks for making the videos.
Hello Michael, I will miss your informative, detailed and revealing videos. I wish you a good recovery and all the best.
Thanks... let me tell you that YOUR videos were very informative to know the intricate of this kind of equipment and it shows that you are a very knowledge person, I'm sure that we will miss your videos... be well and thanks again.
Sad news Michael. Enjoyed all your videos. I wish you all the health you need in the coming years! Thanks for all your time!
Thanks Michael, i really liked your video's, your experience and your pace. I even built some of youre pre amps. Hope you are doing well and stay well.
Thank you, Sai, much appreciated.
I'm sorry to hear that your health is not good, Michael. I have always enjoyed your videos and your honest approach on quality or not of some of the products you received. Some of the products were truly bad and gave us a chuckle. Daz
Thank you, Darren, May I suggest to everyone to give Darrens channel a look, lots of vintage stuff and the odd bit of audio. I like it.
I am very sorry to hear this. I really enjoyed Benny's recordings. Benny's channel is one of only a few I follow. His pleasant style, great knowledge and the gloom he exhibits were a joy to watch. I welcome him in the hope that he will change his mind.
Thank you...all the best 👌
Hello Michael, I just discovered your channel, looking for inputs on the TPA3255 and got very sad to know you are closing the channel down. Anyway, thank you for all the time and money you put on it and be sure your love for all this transpires on your videos. Hope your health is better and, please, let us know from time to time if everything is ok. Cheers. Mauricio from Brasil.
Thank you for your kind thought, I really appreciate them. No plans at present but I would like to think one day in the future I might pop out the odd video. We shall see! Once again, thank you Mauricio.
Thank you for the information and entertainment that you have shared.
@Michael Beany. Your videos are amazing. I only subscribed just two days ago. I am saddened to hear you will no longer be contributing. You are a wealth of information and I will continue consuming your videos. Thank you for your amazing contribution to the audiophile world!!
Only 2 days ago, that very bad timing. Still, you have over 5 years of back videos to catch up on. One or two of them are really quite good!
@@MichaelBeeny So far they have all been very much worth my time 👍😀. Thanks again for all of your vids and your time. Creating videos and running a channel is extremely time consuming with the payoff usually being the great feeling of knowing your helping others. Cheers to all the years and dedication.
@@MichaelBeeny Only one or two? ;) It's really hard to point out a single one which isn't. But I take your comment on this as another example of how big loss myself and other viewers will suffer if your channel goes down. Anyway, wishing you all the best with your health. Best regards from far away (Poland).
I really enjoyed your channel, it's simple approach, the product reviews, the mods and there's always something I'm interested in watching.
The highlights are countless, many include all the witty observations but your knowledge is the real showstopper. Best wishes for 2023 and thank you from Sydney.
Sorry to see this time come. Best wishes.
Ur doing well on this channel Sir! Get well soon! God we'll give u more blessings to sustain Ur needs!
Sorry to hear of health issues, really appreciated your content up until now. Wishing you well for 2023.
I wish you well sir, my apologies for watching your videos and enjoying your channel for almost a full year and only just now, after getting this video in my feed, have i realized that i forgot to subscribe. Thank you for the very informative and entertaining videos and channel. I found you when I discovered amplifier modules and started planning my own entertainment reciever from various modules available on the internet. Audio and electronics have been hobbies of mine for the majority of my life. I'm hoping to have another 40 years in me so i hope that the knowlwedge that the information and inspiration I've garnered from this channel will live on after you've left us will return a small amount of the blessings you've given me to yourself. Thank you again and god's speed good sir!
Thank you very much for all of your videos!
It's really sad to see you go. Stay safe and keep healthty for all of us, will ya. Thank you!
I really do hope you can teach some of us noobs in electronics to use the measuring equipments like you have. But I can understand if you would like to enjoy more of your free time.
Sorry for my poor English since I'm not a native speaker. I wish you all the best.
I understand you 100% your English is just fine, thank you.
Farewell Michael, best wishes. Thanks for the videos you made
I'm back, lots of videos to catch up on.

Health issues are not the funnier things to deal with. I wish you a swift recovery from France.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world. We appreciate you. Hope you are well
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and views on the state of electronics, the video contains so many of of your nuggets of knowledge 😊
Your proper method of RMS measurements and amplifier reviews were useful for my audio amp journey. I found your videos when looking for tda 3255 amp knowledge.
Request to please not throw away your precious equipment and amps, they can be sold off or donated to a nearby school
Don't worry, I'm only throwing away stuff that I have blown or just not worth saving.
Thanks for the great content. Happy New Year!
Gonna Miss you and your videos
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and work
Sorry to see you go, Mike. I have learned a lot and enjoyed your videos tremendously. I especially appreciate your hands-on, zero-BS practical approach which helped me through several DIY projects. Thank you very much! Wishing you happiness and health for 2023 and beyond :)
Thank you, Barr, for your kind words, much appreciated.
All your videos are very informative. It is indeed a pleasure to watch your videos. You shared every minute details of amplifier making which will be a treasure for all viewers. Inspired by your videos, presently I am building an amplifier using LJM L12/2 Board. We are definitely going to miss you. All the best and you are and will be my inspiration always.
Thank you, kind Sir, I really appreciate your words. Good luck with the L12/2. I'm sure you will love them.
really enjoyed your channel. Best of luck to you.
I am very sorry to hear this. I just discovered your channel. I wish you well and heal. please do not delete your material. it is very helpful. please don't throw anything away. if you can donate your devices. I would proudly give it a place in my home.
Don't worry Demian, I will not be throwing away anything of value. Only odd bits of stuff I have blown up, damaged, or stuff that SHOULD in the rubbish bin.
@@MichaelBeeny Thank you very much Michael...You'll be dearly missed.
Acabo de descubrir tu canal, y lamento esta noticia, deseo de corazón que se mejore aunque no sigan los videos, agradecido por la información.
Gracias por sus amables palabras, muy apreciadas.

Thank you Michael, best wished for you.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and sharing with us.
Wish you well, and take care.
I wish you all the best and I thank you for all your videos, you left admirable legacy here.
I just found your channel thats to your op amp video about fake op amps, I will be watching more, your legacy lives on no matter what happens.
On another note, you look quite good, like you still have some good miles left, whatever they told you, do not give up on yourself.
And believe me, I am not holding back words, if on first glance you looked like you're about to kick it, I would've told you.
But you just don't look like it.
Thank you, kind sir, it's all done with mirrors and skillful video editing.
Sad to hear about closing of your channel.i got a recommendation of your channel just a few days ago.
I found some important information.
I subscribed to it.
