You should target Australia ...Since the CEO of Woolworths ( A giant food chain here in Australia) has just had to stand down for price gouging....You may enjoy exploring that angle as it is a global, post pandemic supermarket scam. I'm ex pat Geordie...still happy to help out a southerner though lol. Anyway...keep it up mate. Also subscribed now. I lost my tank after a 48 hour power cut here...I replaced with 16 Guppies ..14 of them died within a week regards water PH difference between the pet shop and home...2 survived....I am now overwhelmed with baby Guppies 🤣...I call the two original Guppies who survived Adam and Eve😂.....Next time I get to the UK I'll shout you a few pints ...You're a good bloke and a pleasure to listen to.
Oz still has a Woolies? Come to think of it I heard a rumour there was to be a comeback here. Oh livebearers, they're like rabbits... my previous Acaras had a litter, but I think she lost interest and ate them all before I could get them out of there! Thanks for the kind words!
Ah man, I hope you keep going in some format or other. Classic children's annuals maybe? Blue Peter etc? Yes, it's books, but loads of people had/remember them, and enough were printed that they must be cheap to pick up.
Oddly enough I was just in a charity shop that had a load of old Bunty annuals, but I just couldn't bring myself, they'd have looked at me all weird. Though someone pointed out really how dark some of those girl comics of the time used to get. I do have a couple of Fleetway annuals on the shelves here. Up and at 'em, Ginger!
On the views front, I restarted my channel again after scrapping it last May and I think the views are about the same, but I have been doing livestreams, which tend the rack up more views that the average videos. Whilst I subscribed due to the book content, if you did branch out to other things, I’d watch as I know you’d make it entertaining. I’ve been reading Wilbur Smith since I was kid (I’m now in my 30s) and he’s really good. He hit the right formula for his books early on and stuck to it for years. His some stuff from the last 20 years isn’t as good, particularly the cowritten books, but before that you can pick up any of them and have something enjoyable to read. Shout at the Devil is really good and the film adaptation gets the spirit of the book on screen. When mentioned African Queen, they are similar and I’ve always wonder if Smith was inspired by it as I remember him saying in an interview once that C. S. Forester, who the novel, was one of his favourite writers as a child.
Thanks for the encouraging words - it's possible another algorithm tweak at their end might push things back the right way again, but that can take months (or about a year, as it was last time). I might well give SATD a go, I just have a few on the go at the moment, it's in the stack!
Hi Bert. For all its worth here i am watching a guy in a badly lit room, who i guess reviews books? for some reason youtube put you in my suggestions, so you are on the front page here, despite me never having watched a book review. So there is really no reason why i should be here, other than i do watch a lot of random stuff and yours may be as random as they come. having seen this "episode" im not sure it is something i will be longing for to see the next one, its not bad and its not good, its just suddenly there, and lets be honest there are millions of you, who wants my attention and wievs. But hey atleast youtube must have had some kind of plan sending me here like i guess they had a plan taking awy your wievs????? If you enjoy making videos, keep it up, i dont thinkl you should do it for any other reasons at this moment.
It's all about the mischief of the algorithm gods... I don't know what I've done on this one that's suddenly sending it around to new people, while my 'top performers' have died a miserable death! But thanks for watching anyhow
U were in my recommendation today. Never seen u before
For some reason the algorithm is being nice with this one - it's almost as if someone over at YT is trying to mess with my head!

Woolworths here is a different company. It threw me when I first arrived in Aus. Here, Woolworths is one of the two major grocery outlets.

Bert could reinvent himself as a right wing commentator or conspiracy theorist?
Love the Live Skull shirt.
Bit of an overpopulated field at the moment! That said, there's a conspiracy-related novel I keep meaning to get round to...

unironically, I like the sainsbury's beef currys.
The last one I had was quite comforting!
10, 000 Rupiah is yours if you do a review of The Ipcress File by Len Deighton. The film is good but doesn't make much sense.
I read the novel recently, but in such a disjointed manner (IE on tube journeys) that I'm not sure I got it... will have to revisit!
putting up a lot of stuff to do with the 2020 usa election and the blm riots ive been shadowbanned since
my views are in single numbers now i just started a new channel and its getting no views must be because of my ip address
