This makes him the 2nd most popular UK Channel, behind youtube user panacea81 who currently has over 53,000 subscribers as of June 7th 2008.[1]. He has since posted a large range of videos on the site, including "How to be english," and "HAIR!" In addition to vlogging, he has also been known to play songs and draw comedic sketches.
