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.

Of course,there's climbing Everest too....

Thank you Pacific:)

Oh, yes, Everest, and that boat thing. His book was really interesting about the boat. ( seriously) it was a bit boaty and I don't care much for boats, but the perseverance and human endurance was good, imo.

zebra Gordon Buchanan is all mine, do you hear?
Just saying.....

Everest? Everyone and their dog has climbed Everest now. I've climbed it five times myself. Blindfolded. It's the new Snowdon.

My dh is in love with Gordon Buchanan. Although even he started laughing when GB told us for the eightieth time that he was worried about the wolves.

BG - I can't decide if I like him or not, but I find him strangely watchable. (Like Channing Tatum. I watched the American BG/CT episode on YouTube on my phone.) And when I saw his book in Waterstones I immediately turned to the photo section to check for naked pictures.

"Better drink my own urine" is a common response to any minor hiccup in our house. And my son's school had a meme page on Facebook, one of which was "left my water bottle in [the farthest away building]: better drink my own urine" which amused me no end.

I can't believe he was giving parenting advice.

I mean who would take parenting advice from someone who chooses to drink their own wee?

I would quite enjoy a go on Mike Rowe. AFTER he had been decontaminated.

Let's not forget 'enema on a raft'.

New F&B colour?

Specifically mixed to blend with 'Urine The Jungle Now'.

I heard it was only the mid stream of urine that's ok to drink, so he interrupt himself mid flow to put a container their or just piss all over his hands? Hmm
