I pride myself in being kind to others, although at times in my life people have taken my kindness for weakness and taken advantage. That being said… with age comes wisdom so now I can see through the fog more clearly. This was a nice Vlog Darren, hope all is well you seemed a bit out of salts. Have an absolutely amazing trip I hope the wind blows you in lots of happy directions and the sun engulfs you with warmth and peacefulness. Ride safe ❤
@@DarrenJohn I’m so sorry to hear that. I know it’s easy for me to say, but breath and then learn. You know this but it’s good you know you are supported. I always say new friends are silver. Old friends are gold. it’s always hard to find Gold in friendships and relationships. Sorry if I sound like I’m going on. But in my working life I was trained to listen, if that makes sense?
@@benj597 thank you. I get so frustrated when things happen like that. I can’t change the world and make it all fluffy. But we are here for such a short time we have to be kinder to each other. I often want to reach out but I don’t want to come across creepy either 🫣
Brilliant and so true . I work for NHS and your life can change with the blink of an eye . A smile and kind gesture will always lift people’s spirits . Have a good day 😊
Couldn't agree more with everything you said and you are a true gentleman and anyone who really knows you knows that. Being kind doesn't cost a thing. Everyone should be spreading kindnes and love not nastiness or negativity. I also agree that we only get one life so we should all enjoy it the full. Glad to see Daisy is all good to go for the big trip. Definitely a trip of a lifetime. Just keep being your amazing true self and the rest will follow. Love your channel and the content you share with all of us. You really are the best in the business. 💙💕
Couldn’t of put it better myself 🙂 he’s one them people you can tell very quickly what you see is what you get 👍 knew he’d pick daisy 😉 for the trip despite the vote heavily favouring the Harley just for his attachment for it he’s shown 🏍️
@@wayneb932 Exactly! Darren has always been a very open and honest person with his reviews and just in general, whilst at the same time has never been nasty or rude to establishments he's eaten in or to people so it's clear he is one of the good ones. I too had a feeling Daisy may win in the end. I'm really looking forward to this amazing road trip. It really is a trip of a lifetime. I know Darren will do amazing things with filming and music to really bring all of us along on the epic journey.
@@ThePensta81 Definitely I notice small things like that too. We’re both smart then 🏍️ 🤓😂 . Yeah the trip will be a great experience for him and for us to watch too. Hope you have a great day ☀️ I know it’s early morning there
@@wayneb932 Yes clearly both clever cookies and a great judge of character 🤓 Yes almost time to get up for work but secretly hoping today goes quickly 😂 I hope you have a lovely evening. 😊
You made me think there Darren I won't make any more negative comments about that man any more I will respect your comment Darren.what a kind man you are 🙏👍
Darrens right some content creators block negative comments. I hope it doesn't rain much on your bike journey to tenerife. Sorry was that a bad example of negativity. 😁 Lol.
You're so right. You never know what's behind someone's smile, or miserable face. Just be as kind and generous as you can. It's a good philosophy to live by. Thank you for another cracking vid.
Great review Darren, going back to a place speaks volumes, cooked just as i like it and generous portions to, i also enjoy your taste in music. Keep Safe 😊
Daz you are a true guy. No fancy crap like the “others” your raw and your genuine. Always be kind. I emailed you months ago saying I struggle with my mental health and you took time to reply and encourage me to be happy. You can see in your eyes your down and your upset inside about something. Remember buddy we all love you and we are all behind you. Smile mate please x
Can see your emotions in your eyes whilst you say all of this DJ. Fully get you and totally agree. And I want to thank you for this channel. It brings me more joy than you can ever imagine. I am especially thankful to you for going to Blackheath (SE London). I know it's a trek for you - but I am grateful. Much love my friend and stay safe and well.
"It's nice to be nice" , well said darren. Small acts of kindness doesn't cost a thing and goes a long way in this day and age. 😊 Great vlog and another nice looking breakfast , nice to see you back with daisy duke. See you on the next one 👍🏍
Morning Darren from Ireland my great London cabbie mate lost is wife last year he’s rekindled his love for biking I showed him your blog on the bikers place up at Shoreditch he immediately said what a lovely bloke Darren is I said yes very much
I had a horrific upbringing as a child.... My nickname at the time was Cheshire cat and smiler. Even now I'm dimps because I smile a lot. I can see pain behind your eyes sweet. That doesn't make you weak.. It makes you a strong man. There's a very wise saying.. "there's much pain behind a smile" and it's so true. Keep being you and giving as you gain more joy. Thank you for all you do and for this super video again and I so hope you enjoy your road trip which I and so many will be following. Have a super eve sweet xx
Ive said this on Lee's channel and I'm going to say it here on Darrens too. I follow both and respect both Lee and DJ very much. I don't know whats happened and to be quite honest, i don't want to as its no one elses business but Darren and Lee's. I've seen a certain other channel that keeps popping up on my feed that i don't and won't subscribe to who seem to like stirring things up and making it worse than what it already is. I like and respect both DJ and Lee very much and I'll continue to follow, support and subscribe to both as they helped many of us viewers through this past horrendous couple of years. One thing i won't ask is what happened or why. Its not fair on either so please stop asking them out of respect. I'd love to see both sort out their differences and make up. Start of the year i fell out big time with a close friend of mine that got to the point where it seemed irrepairable. However, one evening we spoke to each other on the phone, had a heart to heart, and cleared the air. We met up, had a beer together, and now we're back on real good terrms again. I hope this happens with 2 of my favourite vloggers, but if it doesn't then we should all move on and respect their decisions. At the end of the day we are all here to enjoy the content they give us. Both are great in their own different ways. This was another great video Darren and the breakfast looked great. Never seen celery in bubble though 😂. Great heartwarming words at the start and end also mate. Thanks as always for the videos buddy and keep up the great work👍👍
Wish you all the best with your up and coming trip, I am looking forward to the vlogs, stay true to yourself Darren as life is to sort and it is always good to be kind to yourself and others x x 🥰🥰🥓🥓🍳🍳🍞🍞
Heartfelt messages on this vlog Darren. Sounds as if the death of a friend has been difficult. My kind thoughts are headed your way. And your trip, anxious to hear the best of your experiences. Be safe, enjoy every minute. Kindness is, indeed, the simplest act we can do each day.
Life is too short Darren, your vlogs are off the charts especially for people like me who have family in London, you open up so many great opportunities whilst on a visit to our great capital. And sometimes the greatest reaction to negativity is to not react. A class act and a true gent.
I always get value from your videos and always give a like. I'm looking forward to your road trip DJ, but I'm also sad about the situation with yourself and Lee, you were a great double act and I found your channel via his. Hopefully you can both sort it out and feature together once more. 🙏🤝
Well said DJ. Upfront, honest and forthright instead of passive aggression from “other vloggers” on their recent upload. Shame, as I do enjoy the content from both of you. Hope everything irons itself out soon 👍
..totally agree - I don’t watch much Andrew & Laura anymore but the amount of personal abuse they get on different platforms is abhorrent & lots come from people siding with him from when they went their own way & I have never seen them publicly dis him. Now he’s played a similar game with DJ & ‘here we go again’. As the saying goes about ‘great power & responsibility’ he knows coded messages like that will make a good number of his 100k subs seek vengeance & he should be reprimanded imo. The guys a 50+ grandad for gods sake & he’s knows he’s baiting people to be his attack dogs on a popular public platform - it’s disgusting & shows 0️⃣%class! Stay strong DJ, I’m not a fan of London or bikes 🫢, but I relate to your presenting style & I know what it’s like to feel shafted by people I let into my life & trusted.
Totally agree Darren. We are here for a good time not a long time and it's nice to be nice. It costs nothing to be nice. Treat people how you would like to be treated yourself.
Jealousy makes a person tell the worst lies about you. The best thing you can do is smile and move on. The TRUE people will stand by you, you know who they are DJ.
There comes a point in your life when you realize who really matters, who never did, and who always will. Let him crack on, liars always get found out. Having been subjected to his ignorance in Feb 21 when his channel could have gone two ways, I find him full of verbal diarrhoea tbh. I'm no longer a subscriber.
H i DJ. Hope people learn to just enjoy and love the time they have on this earth. Anything else is so unimportant. Great to see Daisy, I love Ducatis xxxxxxx
Long time subscriber. Enjoy the (usually) laid back nature of your vlogs, and watch as many as I can. You’ll continue to have my support - really not interested in the external nonsense ! 👍
Very reflective there DJ. Hope nothing is troubling you. Agree completely with the sentiment as well. Bikes aint my thing but i agree Daisy is a thing of beauty. As was that breakfast - looked great. Enjoy the prep for your trip.
Really looking forward to your road trip. Love your videos and i think you've come away from this unfortunate situation alot better than a certain person🇮🇪👍
Traditionally bubble and squeak was the Sunday meal left overs mixed with potatoes and fried (so could contain almost any ingredient) , served as a meal the following day and not as a side for some other meal. Agreed over dinning Al Fresco.....it makes whatever your eating taste twice as nice whatever the weather. You're a biker and love the outdoors food and travel....can't wait for the road trip mate 👍 Life is a short, warm moment And death is a long cold rest. You get your chance to try in the twinkling of an eye.......as someone famous once sang.
Love the laid back vibe of your vlogs DJ - nice to not have someone screaming at the camera 😉 Been subscribed for a while and you’ve introduced me to some real hidden gems of cafes and Indian restaurants in London. Keep doing what you’re doing mate.
It is definitely better to be kind than being a nasty negative vibe merchant,totally agree with you Darren and that breakfast looks bang on the button,keep safe and well as always.
Thank you Darren, looking forward to seeing your road trip. Was very impressed with the way you handled your bike safely through the London traffic, a true professional. I hope you can rise above your hurts and continue bringing a freshness to your Chanel. A variety of topics alleviates the boredom, particularly enjoyed your ivy blogs and museum tour.
Great looking breakfast, the bubble was very green I have to say. Looking forward to your road trip vlogs. Your are right about being kind, it costs nothing and your vlogs have certainly been a tonic when times haven’t been so great.
Top stuff, DJ! Great opening remarks. It only seemed like yesterday that your channel was at 5k subscribers, and a belated congratulations on surpassing 20k subscribers from me... and here's to many more! 👍 Always best to spread positivity - which you do in spades with your channel. Keep up the great work! A compliment costs nothing, but can mean the World to the recipient... and on compliments... that bacon looked bloody lovely. That's a 10/10 fry-up that. More expensive that the one closer to the Oval ('The Oval Cafe', that's called, from memory), but looks better.
Yeh...I did notice the dig. Uncalled for and you are right...is nice to be nice. I really enjoy your varied videos with great photography. You need to show us how you actually do the filming.
Hey DJ. thanks so much for a great vlog. Nice words too mate...always be true to yourself and enjoy each day....and as you say be nice!! Looking forward to your road trip to Tenerife. Always enjoy your videos
Traditionally it`s left over potatoes and vegetables in bubble. So it can be anything really...and that is the origin of bubble. In the 19th Century it would have had meat as an ingredient as well, but that stopped when rationing came in during WWII.
Really fun, nice video. You and Daisy really have the traffic sorted. The breakfast looked great except the celery but hey, the rest of it looked amazing. LOL. You answered the question I was thinking at the start of the video, at the start of the video. Daisy does it for you. Got it. Sitting up in heavy traffic is a good place to be too. You see everything. That 360 cam is simply amazing. Have a great day, Mr. John.
Some of us like the finer things in life, whether that’s food, motorbikes, hotels or holiday experiences. We don’t all have to be Jack-the-Lad on a budget. That’s why I like your channel Darren 👍
Back at Mary’s cafe love it as I’ve said before used to park my lorry outside it back in the 80’s always great dig rolls yummy 😋 Cheers Darren loving the memories 👍🏻👍🏻
From New Zealand DJ. Love the videos. Love it that you don't score them and just say it's great or not. Good relaxing stuff DJ. Music might need a bit of work but lol. Jealous of the bikes mate.🍛👍
Hey DJ, You’re OK, Oh Daisy Duke, Yes she’s a beaut, Ride her all the way. I appreciate the positive message and vibes. “Off the charts” as per the usual pal. 🙏❤️.x
Enjoyed this video DJ not an area of London I’m familiar with , Again breakfast looked value for money: I truly like your work life balance looking forward to your trip 👍❤️
DJ: On a separate note, thank you for putting up the price of the meal. Appreciated. 👍 Like yourself, I always favour quality over price (within reason); however, the price shouldn't be overlooked. Another great upload.
Good evening Darren. How are you today? A lovely movie of a Lovely and very Kind Gentleman riding his Beautiful machine through the streets of London. Your movies are Pure Joy Darren. Hope your Motorbike tour goes really well and safe arrival in Tenerife. 😁😁😁😁👍👍👍👍👍👍
Your definatly cool as "nice" on that bike, she's a beaut alright, breakfast very tasty, and your sentiments sum up something that's easy to do, just be nice.
So perfectly said Datren. You're such a gent and as I always say, it cost nothing to be nice. Keep being you and keep bringing us all the fab vlogs. 🥰🌞🥰Xxx
It’s nice to do an act of kindness , I can’t understand why anyone would want to be nasty instead of being kind , it was handy to have the cafe so close while Daisy was having a service, eight hours on a bike per day will be hard on you Darren, have a safe journey
Enjoyed the vlog you just keep raising the bar. 👍And for a minute there i was half expecting Daisy duke not to start out of jelousy because of the Harley.😁 Nice one. 👍🤘
Nice sentiment as always Darren. Also good to see you back on the Ducati. Kind of surprised that you arent doing the trip on the Harley though for comfort reasons ;-)
