Oh dear Mr Mears

Just seen the latest Go Compare ad with RM netting the GC Singing Guy.

For shame

I applaud the bloke, having two jobs ... getting out there and working to keep him and his family fed, and housed. It may not of been the full series on TV that he was after, but good on him for finding something to tide him over :rolleyes: :)

RM always comes across to me as being a bit too serious and lacking in humour - so maybe he has a light hearted side after all.

Good luck to anybody that can get paid for not doing very much (apart from bankers, professional footballers etc.......)

He'll have earned himself a good £20k or so for that advert. Good on him.

sent from my Jelly Bean'd galaxy nexus.
Seriously? Is that how much money is in that stuff? Geez. I'm in the wrong line of work. But really, you're joking right?

I say good on him. Milk it Ray.

he won't get that.... oh no, firstly there's his basic studio fee, may not be too much.. but then there is the use fee (commonly called repeat fee), and this is paid for every showing...and it varies by channel. the bigger the viewer numbers per channel the higher the fee.... and all laid down by union. so by the time your peed off listening to the ad.. somebody can have pocketed quite a tidy sum.

Go for it Ray!

He did one a couple of years ago for the Post Office but I don't think it aired.

mears, d'ye mind? i'm talking to the bear! awesome!

to be fair, mr mears has always had a wry dry sense of humour. i was gobsmacked watching him feeding ewan macgregor hot chocolate in an aluminium mug!!! that's madness!!! then it transpired that it was a rather unpleasant practical joke. well harsh, but, kind of funny. :)

cheers, and.

Ray knows his stuff, has no need to prove anything to anyone and only laughs when there's something naturally worth laughing at. Sounds like good bush company to me.

I see that from 9 dvd's and worldwide recognition of his bushcraft knowledge and training the army that you may be in the minority on that one!:)

i pride myself in being as boring as i possibly can be, but RM believe me he ain't boring, i take it you've only seen him in his adverts Expat? Or your not actually interested in the facets of the Bushcraft tree. Boring...sheesh.
