This fellah is brilliant. It’s like sitting down with your grandad and listening to stories.

YouTube, the popular online video site, has an unexpected star–a septuagenarian British widower–whose soft-spoken, humble manner has won the hearts of users of the youth-dominated Web site.

Peter posted his first video on YouTube about a week ago, under the user name geriatric1927, which refers to the year of his birth. He called it “first try.”

In the clip, which starts with “geriatric gripes and grumbles” and some blues music, Peter tells how he became addicted to YouTube.

“It’s a fascinating place to go to see all the wonderful videos that you young people have produced so I thought I would have a go at doing one myself,” he says, sitting against a backdrop of floral wallpaper and family photographs.

“What I hope I will be able to do is to just to bitch and grumble about life in general from the perspective of an old person who has been there and done that and hopefully you will respond in some way by your comments.”

Fancy a new laptop bag? Awful.
