Bear grylls Ribs
I see Bear has brought out a range of ribs based on Madera ribs. They look quite good but I dread to think of the price.

Oh I don't know Billy I think that it would look quite dandy with a 30mm anti Brummie gun fitted on the bow.
Mr T keeps telling us that he's not a brummie!! but he sure sounds like one to me

Some of his brands might be a bit stupid but when you look at what he has done for charity and his work for Scouting in the UK you've got to give him credit.

Its his brand and public image which annoys me. I'm sure he's a spiffing chap in person and that hes done lots of tremendous stuff for charity (though I'm not aware of what that might be), but if I see one more picture along the lines of 'Bear looking ruggedly into the middle distance', or 'Bear jumping off/over somthing', or 'Bear wading through water looking rugged' Im going to barf.

Oh dear, I like Bear.......never met him though. The fact that he's "Head Scout" is cool, children need this sort of iconography rather than rappers and street/urban/gangsta trash.
The video with it's "dramatic" soundtrack is naff, the logo ( with it's BUGATTI EB rip-off ) is lame and the claims are pants. They have their own "a" in-house design ( sic ). Doesn't every boat designer?
Sorry, but I wouldn't even entertain a BG boat just because of all this naffness.
They may actually be good, like an Escort Cosworth, Evoque or a Rolex. Damned if I'd be seen near any one of them. Hunter wellies have gone that way. Is having a second home in Cornwall with a Land Rover going that way too?

Actually, some rappers with street/urban/gangsta stuff do put a good message across, so I take some of that back.

I am great admirer of Bear Grylls. No one can deny he has done some fantastic things and been in some tough situations. I have only seen him across a car park at Southampton Drystack on one occasion, but he seems to me to be a guy with great intelligence, experience and a lovely family.
Unless I am wrong the RN made him an honorary Lt Cdr so they must thing he's a good chap too?
What is there to hate I ask myself?

Hate is a strong word, I'd struggle to find a reason to hate Bear.

No reason to hate someone that has done so much for charity and inspired so many young people. I have met him twice and so have my scouts and to see how he has inspired young people is brilliant
