[Misc] Bear Grylls

[Westdene Seagull]

The serial bullshitter and proven charlatan has just been on Sky News talking about "building success".

Why is this incomparable waste of space ever given airtime on tv and radio?

His actual idea of "building success" is to build an entire career out of lying.

Quite surprising that he didn't pop up at a Trump rally with Nige.

When there are so many British people who have actually achieved amazing things in the fields of mountaineering, climbing, exploration and protecting the environment, it's depressing that a complete fraud is the one who's raking in the cash.

I guess it's just an easy "go to" for news agencies because of the sly *******'s "brand". It's a shame.

Unlike you I've actually met him - at a Scouting event. He was very down to earth and great with the kids and and instilling confidence and drive into them. So what if he was in the TA SAS ? I'm sure it's tougher than anything you've done. If he inspires young people to reach for the stars then I couldn't give a toss if his programmes are 'faked'.

Feel free to list what you've done for the younger generations ? Ahhh ......

The Alpha course run by hundreds of churches across the country, is free of charge so there is no money making scam, nor is it a cult.

I apologise. As I said, I only saw similar to the OP on this which was Bear's face on massive billboards promoting something religious. So I immediately thought "SCAM!". Because that's what he does.

That's the problem with jumping to conclusions with a bias. I get that you don't like him but don't tar everything with the same brush.

As for contributions to the churches, they are entirely voluntary, there is no compulsion. St Peter's runs the Night Shelter in Brighton in conjunction with five other churches, including my own, Emmanuel Church.

Hmmm. Seeing as I was one of the best climbers in the country when I was 17 and have voluntarily worked as an accountant for my local primary school and done months of grunt work for Barnardo's you might want to rethink that post.

Tougher than anything I've done? Ha ha ha!!!! Like Shane Duffy, Google me.

I didn't say anything about his TA SAS thing btw.

I said he is a serial liar who has made a fortune from bullshit.

Of course he will come across as charismatic when he needs to. That's The whole thing that underpins the scam. You clearly fell for it.

I'm not making this about faith. That's another story. It's about the FACT that Bear Grylls is a total charlatan.

Obviously I've never met you but you come across as a complete cock on this thread while I have met BG and he came across very well. Go figure.

Happy to google you if you post your name - which I'm sure you're happy to do with an ego like that.

So you're saying you're not going to reply because you have no answer and choose to playground name call instead. Cool. That's a great look.

No, I wouldn't be interested in anything The Spectator has to say. I class it in the same way I class The Sun etc.

 

[Stat Brother]

Even his name is a lie, because they can't.

 

[LlcoolJ]

Yes but your reply didn't reply to anything I have said. All you've done is throw insults about and make yourself look like an angry five year old. To each their own though.

 

[nicko31]

I always thought he was quite a good egg. Genuine question, what he been bullshitting about?

Chief Scout since 2009

Apparently I'm drunk though.

You could call Hitler a complete shit on NSC and someone would pop up saying that their grandad meet him and he seemed like a decent bloke.

Actually that would definitely be ppf. But you know what I mean.

Never met him but I know someone who has involved in Scouting, and I've only heard good things

 

[BLOCK F]

Well, that was exciting.
Personally, I don't know much about Bear Grylls, but I gather LlcoolJ doesn't think much of him.
Who'd have guessed!

Pfft, you’ve all missed the most important question...
If Bear Grylls could grill bears, how many bears could Bear Grylls, grill?

Can I refer you to your original post when it come to insults ?
