I think It’s now only fair to list Pouty‘s achievements also. As we know he has a different skill set but still brings just as much to the party….
1. CAMERA MAN - we must commend him. After all these slogs his standard of camerawork is just the same as it ever was……!! The way he wizzes the camera round like the exorcist on acid on a supposed room/camera tour whilst simultaneously shaking his hairy paw in front of the screen, describing a cupboard thingy or a something or other is remarkable. Repeat this for town tours. He shows us a statue of somebody or other and a church thingy. Theme parks. No idea who these characters are, never heard of that film, and the latest gem, when wandering round in the midst of the queens jubilee, the streets festooned with bunting and union flags ; he shows us a knitted scene on a post box with a lady holding a corgi surrounded by all things patriotic ( don’t you just love Britain) and speculates it could be Mary Poppins!!! Genius
. But why would he want to actually show us the town or theme park with a coherent explanation, when he can zoom In on Prick’s head as it zips through the crowds half a mile ahead. Why linger on a menu for his faithful followers to actually read what’s on it, when he can show us yet more shots of shared offerings, Prick‘s eye bags and his own gurning features. Leading me to……
2. EDITOR - now we see some real expertise, you can guarantee he always shows his partners bullying best side, camera lingering on that 2nd blue moon glass ,then moving to his own lime and soda or some drink or other
. Lovingly leaving in Prick’s eye bags, bruises and general angry demeanour, whilst subtlety photoshopping his own face like a sneaky smiling assassin. Leaving in every minute of Prick‘s cringeworthy non cooking skills, every burnt offering, every bit of wrong information, showing all his ‘unique’ knife skills. Yep it’s all there.
3. WORK ETHIC- where do I start with this one, I’m guessing a good couple of hours before pouty! The way he flits round T’ lodge with a J -cloth, flicking here and there whilst dancing round the worktops, achieving nothing,all the ‘cleaning up after Nick‘ , the hours he spends at that ironing board, teeth gritted, ironing every crease out of all the shirts they are taking on their latest adventure. Alas, it is all for nothing as they both only seem to need a couple of tee shirts where ever their travels take them🥹. No wonder he is exhausted and can’t finish sweeping the patio for their guests, and don’t forget he has all that editing to do, there are just not enough hours in the day!!
4. LINGUIST- I could listen to him all day, his knowledge and command of the English language is like nothing I have seen before in any vlogger
. The way all the mis pronunciations roll off his tongue, so easily, and not forgetting it is all on purpose! This of course only adds to the comedic value of the slog. Amazing! Imagine my delight when I learnt he was being sponsored to learn to speak incorrectly in another language, bravo Speakly, bravo, an inspired choice. We only got a tantalising glimpse of his new skills last time in France, a muttered mercy and a self conscious Bonjour. I am sure he will learn quickly and next time he ventures across the channel he will be almost fluent. It will be deux, pardon I mean un toasted tea cake a La currant and lune bleue s‘il vous plait galore! Let’s hope he tries a conversation with a particularly angry Frenchman, causes offence with his mangled franglais, which earns him La punch to the kidneys and a couple of nuits in L’ hospital
5. DRESS SENSE - just like the other half of the dastardly duo, he dresses with the panache of someone double his age!! From the way he wears his Lonsdale socks and vans to the baseball cap (which makes him look spookily like rain man )for a sedate drive in James. He doesn’t ever look a day over 60
6. SOCIAL SKILLS- Pouty likes nothing better than being amongst people, whether it is meet ups with ‘us friends’ outings with family, or caravan park meet ups , he loves them all. A social butterfly he flits between his fans with no hint of awkwardness at all. His favourite times though are the precious times as a foursome with their special friends Mark and Hannah
. I am sure they are a lovely couple, though they hide it so well!! The tragic twosome come across as boring, monosyllabic chavs, who dump their kids at the drop of a hat to hang onto the shed scammers coat tails in the hope sharing their ‘fame’. Anyway I certainly believe they are a foursome made in heaven, and I look forward to more vlogs of freebies, particularly where a meal in a nice restaurant is involved and they show us their real selves……
I’m done now I promise . I’ll get my coat
