+Simply Paul Posted February 6, 2005 Author Share Posted February 6, 2005 Want to hear something funny? I emailed everyone that I'd contacted by mail to say the date had been changed - but forgot to call my brother or dad (they don't have mail and I'd phoned them in the week to tell them it was going to be on) to say it's next weekend... I got two angry and disappointed phone calls this afternoon, lol! Oh well. Let's hope there's no more schedule changes. SP Link to comment
+Cryptik Souls Crew Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 They don't say what the video diary is going to be about until pretty much the last minute. Thats because they like to change it right at the last minute Link to comment

Deego Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 10 mins they wont be able to get enough of SP look out for the Simply Paul show coming to bbc1 soon Link to comment
+kbootb Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 The one thing that's for certain, the whole diary will be shorter than the average time we spend once we get to the location rooting around trying to find it. So will it be cuts to make it look like it only takes a few seconds to find or are they going to speed it up like Benny Hill? (Mental image of SP scuttling around on fast forward?) Link to comment
+Simply Paul Posted February 7, 2005 Author Share Posted February 7, 2005 So will it be cuts to make it look like it only takes a few seconds to find or are they going to speed it up like Benny Hill? (Mental image of SP scuttling around on fast forward?) One strides, one does not scuttle! Oddly enough I do have a speeded up video clip of me with the Benny Hill theme music playing, but it's a whole other story... My bet is for 4:04, which is 1/60th of what I filmed. Deego, the programme isn't going to be called The Simply Paul Show any more, it's going to be 'Cacher Watch' and Bill Oddie will be fronting it. SP Link to comment

+Simply Paul Posted February 11, 2005 Author Share Posted February 11, 2005 Just a bump to keep this fresh in peoples minds. I've had no email to say there's been any more changes of plan, so I expect everyone to be pointed at a TV set on Sunday. The show's on from 11.30 - 12.30 and 'my bit' is due about 11.55. As time goes on I'm getting more worried I'll look an arse on it. Maybe I'll make caching look like a sport for sad mad people. If I do, please forgive me. *I* know we're not sad and/or mad. Well, not all of us. SP Link to comment
nobby.nobbs Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 can't see what mileage they'll get by editing it to make us look silly. so unless you recorded loads of junk, not likely, then should be good. what's the prize for getting the length of time right? video will be set can't wait.

+Simply Paul Posted February 13, 2005 Author Share Posted February 13, 2005 All set. Coffee on standby. TV tuned in and ready to rock and roll Hope to see some (but not all - I've not got that much room) at my 'All Round To My Place' cache event later! SP Link to comment
+Kouros Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 Hm... looks like I picked just the right time to revisit the forums after a hiatus. Oddly enough I had something of a stronger desire to ensure that I didn't miss this episode more than others. Weird, that. Link to comment
+Stuey Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 Excellent! Loved the jumper gag at the end, hehe! Very good Paul! Link to comment

+Kouros Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 (edited) And can I be the first to say that "It's a jumper, not an anorak" should be a slogan of some sort? Well done Paul! EDIT: Right... how many of us dashed back to the computers as soon as the article finished? Edited February 13, 2005 by Kouros Link to comment

+The Wombles Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 Good article Paul, just watched it. Came over well and didn't sound geeky in the process. It'll be interesting to see if we get new cachers as a result. Link to comment

Dave from Glanton Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 Nice one. I guess that quite a lot of footage got edited to within an inch of its life, but it made a good advert for the sport. Link to comment

+The Klever Boys Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 Recorded it to DVD and just replayed it and Paul's bit was on for 3min 30secs (3min 48sec, if you include the bit with John Craven at the start and end). Minstrelcat is right about the beard too Link to comment
+lordelph Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 Now available! Simply Paul "it's not an anorak" merchandise! This was really for fun, but if anyone is daft enough to buy one, I'll donate the $2-$3 cafepress markup to a charidee of Paul's choosing! Link to comment

I was just waiting to see SP climb the tree to reteive Roman Roast Dinner, well my kids did. Link to comment
+Haggis Hunter Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 Well D ne Paul, You blended in so well, that the cows didn't move a muscle, as you went past I enjoyed watching it, obviously took a few days to make as your beard kept coming and going, I also noticed that the anorak you were wearing at the beginning had dissapeared for your finishing comments Link to comment
+John Stead Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 Oh B***** - I thought it started at 12.30. Now I'll have to wait for it on the big screen! Wouldn't mind so much but I set the recorder up last week when I was away, but today I was home! Link to comment

+The Prawn of Happiness Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 Wonderful spot for geocaching! Thanks Simply Paul!! And in honour of our new favourite geocaching slogan, we've just purchased a Simply Paul jersey that LordElph has created in record time. We've also got the diary on DVD and we'll try to get it into a pc format as soon as we can. Link to comment
