BG soon to be richest man in UK

[Drain Bamaged]

The monocle and Hawaiian shirt maybe but seriously! I really don’t think that someone that free-felled onto the top of Mount Everest in a wheelchair, swam the Amazon smeared in Sheep’s blood and went to a Rangers home game wearing a Celtic shirt would ever be seen dead in camouflaged speedos regardless of how much they were paying him.

The man may be an idiot and moronic at times but i'll be damned if he's a complete and utter scoper.

What's wrong with Hawaiian shirts?

I see no proof hes gonna be the richest man in the UK anywhere on the thread. I highly highly doubt that. No chance in fact. Wouldnt even make the sunday times rich list IMO. Probably nowhere near.....

Hmmm.. Makes me think this would probably be a good time for him to retire and go and enjoy all his fortune... Somewhere that's not the UK and preferably has no international media broadcasting capabilities...

Damn it Dave! You've ruined this thread for me now! LOL!

I've now had to start a 'Just Giving' page and a BCUK Disasters Emergency Committee thread entitled 'please give generously- Bear Grylls early retirement fund'

He probably makes most of us look poor but, richest man in the country. Nah...

Enter the pedant... richest man in the UK is Len Blavatnik and Bear is far far behind him... but I have to agree with the sentiment behind the original post. If he could say to himself that he's earned enough maybe we wouldn't be looking at his face on our screens much longer.

Being unfair as I think he's a nice chap... just that he does some stupid stuff and given his position its perhaps a bit irresponsible. But what he has, he's earned... just not the way I'd choose to earn it.

Stupid stuff is good.

Whoever got anywhere doing sensible stuff?

he could have washed his face before the photo shoot .

Last thing I saw was him making a bunch of 'celebrities' **** in bottles and drink it. For that alone, all sins are forgiven

 

[Toddy]

Does anyone else think he minds them of Damian Day in Drop the Dead Donkey ?

Hehe! Yes, very much so, and not just facialy either. Could be brothers in action in my head.

I'll second that vote ... bloke seems like he's up for a good laugh and bugger me if he can make cash whilst doing it why not!

As regards the tat... At least it'll be hard to loose if you put it down in the undergrowth and most of us will need an improvised hammer at some point or another.

A hammer isn't supposed to break when you hit something with it though, even an improvised one!

He might have shown even less and endorsed a Blaser!

the Daily Mail will have a field day with this

its all fun until someone looses an eye....

Can see the headline now...

Bear Grylls Ate My Eyeball

OK, here goes.
IMHO he is an utter prat, going caving in Wilsons/Long churn in ordinary clothes and with no helmet and a hand held torch on mainstream TV. Hilarious, really very good, just thank your lucky stars it isnt your kids who will try to emulate him or you that will be called to rescue them.
As for the comments about avalanches on the footage of him climbing (next to a big fat rope hanging down the face) I shall restrain myself.
As the face of scouting or outdoors adventure or whatever surely there is some responsibility to model good safe practice ?
how many of the parents here would want their kids mountain biking, abseiling and caving without a helmet ?
End of rant, getting my coat.
