Look at them, the poofy pish-posh twats, the spoiled boyos, who really shouldn’t have received a camcorder from Mum for Christmas. I wonder what would the watch channels on YT be like, if any of us, the Lords, would start a channel. I guess if the likes of us would be doing it, there’d be hardly anything to complain about.
Hell, I’d be doing that, if only I wasn’t absolutely horrible on camera. I always hated recordings of myself, but that’s pretty common with introverts with a slight OCD, i.e. the likes of me. I suppose that the biggest problem with all those YouTuber bufties is that unlike us, they have no knowledge to provide their audience with.

I’d do it, but I have a face for radio.

That would result with a video seasoned with a shitload of noticeable cuts. And when that'd be ready, and I'd be happy with the result, I'd probably be 70-something and retired by then. Ahhh, well... Looks like most of us decent WIS are good with a pen/keyboard, and those who are good with a camcorder are the likes of TGV, T&H, and all that sorry lot of fruit, who know nothing about watches, yet love to fuck their audience over by pretending to know what they're talking about.

Goddamn it, Carl, if I continue to agree with you so much, I'll turn into a goddamned commie myself.

There is nothing better than a juicy literary feud. From Hemingway v. Fitzgerald to Rushdie v. le Carre, there is always plenty of capital fun in reading great writers break each other's balls. What do we have today? Archie Luxury and whatever the Urban Gentry's name is, breaking each other's balls. FFS. If either Archie or the Urban Gentry guy got hit by a bus tomorrow and got ground up in the bus's differential, I wouldn't give a shit.
