To think Bear Grylls is a smug-faced arse?

And that his real name is probably Julian. Or Terry.

Just had to switch channels after hearing him talk about 'journeys' for the 73rd time in one show.

What channel was it?

Yes, but his 'food' always makes my dinners look marvellous.

"In a survival situation" is now an oft quoted phrase in this house when faced with adversity, like, say, not being able to find the 2nd school shoe.
'What would Bear Grylls do?' - compared to sleeping inside a camel carcass, being forced by your unreasonable mother to put your school jacket on seems bearable somehow.

And yes, I know what you mean, YouBloodyWoman…..

He's a cock.

He's like Disney Ray Mears. The smug go-back-to-a-hotel so and so.

ThatBloodyWoman · 20/02/2015 22:36

Oh thank you Sparkling !

ThatBloodyWoman · 20/02/2015 22:38

Oh but I'd go for Bear rather than Ray any day of the week.

ThatBloodyWoman · 20/02/2015 22:39

Or every day of the week...

I'll shut up now.
I'm drooling onto my tablet.

Sexyhouseslippers · 20/02/2015 23:02

Found that prog last night.
Not enough Bear for me,(ie he kept his kit on) but I don't think he suits the tough guy role he's having to take on,particularly.
Having said that,I'm hooked now as I really enjoyed the show overall especially that Fox woman and the funny guy (not very good with celebrities generally,can you tell....)
Les Stroud is a pretty cool survival expert imo.Ray Mears kind of cooled on me (probably undeserved) when I read Ffyona Campbells book about her walk across Africa.
