I really like your pen & ink work! And your videos, as well.

@cdwc 5 месяцев назад

Thanks cool dude

@lisaperry345 Год назад

Hello Marek, great vid as always and I've finally got the chance to comment on this.🙂 Oooh if I could go back and give myself some wise words I'd say, "stop worrying about your weight(it is a huge waste of time and money), use that time and money to have fun and don't be in too much of a rush to settle down."

@cdwc Год назад

Excellent advice cool dude.

@alisoncrocker9919 Год назад

Thank you for paying homage to pigeons. If I could go back in time I would definitely tell myself to buy that house back in 1988 which cost just £30,000 instead of changing my mind!!!!!! 😮

@cdwc Год назад

'Buy the house quick!" you probably still have 25 seconds left after that.

@princeandrew5430 Год назад

Piegons musy be getting bad if they beat me to top spot for ‘London’s biggest horror’

@cdwc Год назад

You were in Woking that day.

@chumon1992 Год назад

My bit of advice would be to not worry so much over what other people think, just be who you are and for every person who doesn't like you, there will always be someone who does. So don't faff around with some shit friends just because you're scared of losing them. I guess, get some good friends. Your bit of advice is really good too. And I can definitely hear improvement in your piano(almost misspelled it as paino XD), keep it up! It's sounding better every ep!

@cupcakecontent2226 Год назад

Great spooky video

@cdwc Год назад

Thanks cool dude.

@writingratty Год назад

I travelled back from next week to tell myself to donate a little extra this month! Thank you cool dude, and happy Halloween!

@cdwc Год назад

That is very kind of you. Thanks cool dude. Only some of it will go on strawberry laces.

@bluecraig99 Год назад

I was thinking that there would be no red faced Marek this episode as no bus to catch. And then you had to exit the cemetery pronto!!

@cdwc Год назад

It was a half beetroot day.

@tobiepedroz1321 Год назад

I love the history you bring to your walks, so thank you for teaching an old dog new tricks.

@cdwc Год назад

Thanks cool dude. I loved this story. Even though it is a pretty big stretch of the imagination.

@jenniferburk7965 Год назад

I wish I could send a list of things not to waste my money on back to my young self. Imagine the power of that time machine if it had weeping angels!

@cdwc Год назад

But it is better to waste money on stuff when you are young than when you are older and things are more expensive. Saying that I wish I had bought a house in 2000 when you could get one without a deposit.

@grayfreeman Год назад

WOW! That was fascinating! I love weird stuff, but I've never heard of any of that before. The tomb is clearly a Type 40 time capsule and the door is obviously covered with Galifreyan script. There, mystery solved.

@munkeypants1 Год назад

We were staying near this location at the weekend and I took the opportunity of checking out this v.spooky mausoleum. It’s a very interesting location to visit, although the view of Stamford Bridge next door does distract a bit from the atmos. The cafe at the entrance is nice too

@cdwc Год назад

I had a coffee there too cool dude. It is a bit busier than most cemeteries, but I loved the bit around the time machine.

@JohnBone Год назад

Go back to the morning of a friend's wedding. Tell myself "During a prayer when it's pin-drop quiet in the cavernous echo chamber of a church, while sat on a 30-foot long wooden pew/acoustic resonator, do NOT do the fart you are convinced will be short and silent."

@cdwc Год назад

You should have blamed it on Jesus.

@Gez-C Год назад

Nice one cool dude! The only person who is great at time machines is Dr Emmett Brown and a Delorean car

@cdwc Год назад

@squalloogal Год назад

This feels like a Doctor Who & The Master episode.

@cdwc Год назад

Maybe I should be the next Doctor Who.

@squalloogal Год назад

That was an Ooky Spooky good time. Thanks Marek. 😊

@EmyGrant Год назад

Hello Marek! Thank for the historical video walking Brompton Cemetery /London Walks 💯We enjoyed and again you are the Best storyteller & Lov 💞& Tkank'u for giving us wonderful moments, We travel virtually next to you 💯 Daniela & Arpy from Transilvania

@cdwc Год назад

Hi Daniela and Arpy. Hope you are doing well. Fingers crossed the rain will stop soon so we can get out walking again.

@stevesmith3990 Год назад

The time travel idea would cause a paradox.

@cdwc Год назад

Don't ruin the fantasy.

@EatKnuckleFritz Год назад

If I had 30sec back in time then it would be to Andover in 1996 and the best kebab I ever ate. I'm easily pleased. Anyway, nice one Marek... stay cool 👍🏻 Klangbury Town over and out.... 🎖️🇬🇧

@judybee Год назад

Happy Halloween Marek! 🎃Oh my, the spooks are defo out today...yet another comment disappeared into thin air, which will miraculously re-appear suddenly again I suspect making me look like a real plonker! Just in case it DOESN'T materialise through the mists of time, just wanted to say great vid for Halloween around Brompton. Cemeteries are amazing places to walk around for some peace & quiet & wildlife We know the tour guide for Highgate Cemetery! She loves it up there. If I stepped back in time for 30 seconds I think I would probably say ''Be Of The Moment''. 🌠 x J x

@cdwc Год назад

I don't know why your comments keep disappearing. It is very strange. I agree about Highgate Cemetery. I used to live not far from there, and it was an excellent place to visit. Also very good advice cool dude.

@judybee Год назад

@@cdwc Checked in to see if it was still up! Had lots of emojis in the last one, maybe that's why it vanished again! So being the rebel that I am... here's the whole range of them!! .... oh and an extra sausage cos that's my fave

@samdimmock2240 Год назад

I feed the pigeons,I sometimes feed the squirrels too,it gives me an enormous sense of well-being,then I’m happy for the rest of the day 😁 Great video cool dude 👍🏻

Ha. Blur are responsible for all the vermin in London.

@TravellingTorunn Год назад

This was very interesting! I have made a note on Google Maps. Must go there and see for myself some time 😊

@cdwc Год назад

Definitely worth a visit cool dude.

He got onto the bench at one point. What an a**hole.

@mattentwistle70 Год назад

I think I would go back in time to tell myself that my bad decision to have a bowl-cut hairstyle would invoke hilarity when looking at family photos 40+ years later. Great vid, history and narrative as usual

@cdwc Год назад

I had the bowl hair cut too. It was my Mum's decision.

@steveharris5017 Год назад

My advice would be - garlic bread is not the future, strawberry laces are.

@cdwc Год назад

Very wise.

@cookster1001 Год назад

Nice one cool dude! An excellent explore. I love your walking videos but also like it when you do something a bit off piste. Enjoyed the Beatrix Potter facts and The Tardis/Time Machines. From your previous video I was glad to see you’re a fan of scarred for life. I’m working my way through the 70s programmes on RU-vid too. The Tomorrow People is jaw dropping in the sense of some of the things they covered in the name of kids entertainment

@cdwc Год назад

I started watching the Tomorrow People, also Sapphire and Steel. They didn't dumb anything down back then, the difference when you watch something made recently is brutal.

@BeautifulBadandBizarre Год назад

That’s so ‘cool’ dude! 😂 always love your videos - my great grandparents are buried in Brompton Cemetery!

@cdwc Год назад

Wow. It is such a wonderful place. I loved the bit around the Chapel and the colonnade.

@BeautifulBadandBizarre Год назад

@@cdwc there are some spectacular monuments/art and architecture in the London cemeteries! As well as all that history! Thanks again - fab video!

@SweetNigeyB Год назад

I’d love to see more historical videos from you - a wonderful alternative to the equally wonderful hiking videos. If I could go back in time I’d tell my teenage self to not be afraid of asking for advice. Unfortunately I was an arrogant teenager who thought he knew all the answers. I did not. My life would be a lot different now.

@cdwc Год назад

I don't think any teenager listens to adults. It is odd that at that age you think you are an adult and you know everything. I still know barely anything and I'm 46. Hopefully I will do some more factual videos. There are proper historians who are better at that stuff than me though, nonsense is always my favourite.

@SweetNigeyB Год назад

@@cdwc You can do historical videos with nonsense. I have faith in you.

@matthewmulvale5747 Год назад

Great episode Marek, really enjoyed that. 😃👍 Really interesting & a slightly spooky feel to this one. What an amazing & intriguing theory. I would go back & tell my younger self to listen more at School. That way I might get a better, more enjoyable & better paid job. ☹️ Also, don't get caught in the loop of the 9 to 5, & follow your dream. Too late now. 😢 Ooh, hang on .... That's 2 sentences ! 😳

@cdwc Год назад

You can always follow you dream as a hobby. A lot of the time dreams then become work and not your dreams any more.

@travelbuzz1 Год назад

Thanks for today's graveyard fun. However, I think you're barking up the wrong tree, Cool Dude. Surely any time machine device in Brompton Cemetery would involve a folding bike, travelling into the night sky, ET-style? 🚲🌕

@cdwc Год назад

I would love it if they were all on Brompton bikes in ET.

@infidelcastro5129 Год назад

Super cool video, cool dude. The mausoleum looks like (and apparently serves a similar purpose to) the one in John Carter - a criminally underrated movie based on the Edgar Rice Burroughs novels. I wonder if he got the inspiration for the story from there.. or vice versa…

@cdwc Год назад

I have not seen John Carter. Probably because I was swayed by the reviews.

@jackspring7709 Год назад

@thekentishpilgrim Год назад

The rat bird is omnipresent, we're too late! Anyway, I enjoyed this walk and the story of the time machine. You must find a way inside there Number 1! I hear there is a stargate inside and riches beyond your wildest dreams!

@cdwc Год назад

I would go inside and tell myself to get the stamp for the Augustine Camino at that pub.

@anthonyhatter196 Год назад

Top facts about cemetery symbols, I had no idea. Right, in 30 seconds, advice would simply be 'train as a plumber', as we all need them. And maybe 'turn the heating down' as I'm a dad, after all. CD-123

@cdwc Год назад

I had no idea about the symbols either. That was an excellent information board.

@AlexAgey Год назад

Best regards from Germany. 🙏😀 very cool video! What I don't understand is why it hasn't been opened for 120 years and how is it even possible that there are no plans for it and no key? are there still living relatives or who is responsible for this mausoleum?

@cdwc Год назад

I am afraid I can't answer these questions cool dude. There were no answers to it in the research I did. Maybe someone who works at the cemetery knows. I doubt there are still living relatives as I don't think her daughters married.

@-aquariuscyclingadventures2325 Год назад

When I saw the word Brompton, bicycles immediately sprung to mind. A great video with fascinating facts about graveyard symbols & also the curiousity surrounding Hannahs Egyptian style Mausoleum. My advice to myself if I were to go back in time would be to "listen carefully to my intuition as it would prove to be invaluable" 👻

@cdwc Год назад

Thanks cool dude. I have never been on a Brompton bike and I always worry about them folding in as I cycled along.

@cdwc Год назад

It is well worth a visit. Very atmospheric. I might try and visit some of the others. I have been to Highgate, Nunhead and Kensal Green.

@garrymartin6474 Год назад

That was very quiet Marek, especially during the Prize Draw , even with everything turned up to maximum I could barely hear you

@cdwc Год назад

That is a good note cool dude. I had the mic on my lapel rather than on strap underneath my chin as it was giving feedback and I turned the decibels down. I will turn all the levels up for the next one. Thanks cool dude.

That squirrel was probably eaten by a rabbit as soon as you turned your back on it. And the pigeon.
