      I absolutely agree. I watched a RUclipsr who has some kind of management and he was told how to do his thumbnail pics (as you described) as he would get more views. He was shocked to find it was true so he now does this, but he did apologise to original subscribers as hates it himself. Just shows he's only in it for the money.
      Please stay as our lovely, nice and normal Brian (even with 26k subscribers)

    Thank you for the drive, shopping, lunch, coffee and chat Brian! I enjoyed all of it! Due to watching channels like Dan's, yours and a couple of others where people commit DIY, I decided to fix my clothes washing machine... After a week of walking by, doing a few things, gathering courage and finally committing to buying the part and installing it, I fixed it!! It's running in the background as I write. Quite a feeling of satisfaction, although it was touch and go for a while. Thank you for the inspiration! Oh, I found out it's quite comforting to talk to ones self during those moments. Completely relate. (I don't have the excuse of invisible friends who are watching me!) Your light will serve its purpose in quiet beauty. Congrats!

After mixing and lifting all that concrete a week off is well deserved.
