    Heebeegeebees

    What sends a shiver down your spine?

    We've been watched that Bear Grylls: Born Survivor series, where Bear puts himself in a ridiculous situation, then show you how to survive.

    Some of that is giving me the heebeegeebies.

    THIS gives me the heebeegeebies.

    (don't worry, it's not revolting in a conventional sense.)

      The funny thing about goths is that there is a really really thin line between super cool and looking like a spanner.

        I've casually watched a couple of the new series of Bear Grylls while doing stuff on my computer, and it really is the stupidest programme of all time. He's not showing anyone how to survive. He's having a bite of raw crab or beetle larva or whatever, then spitting it out and moving on. He's explaining how likely to cause a nasty disease doing something is, then doing it for no good reason. At least with Ray Mears there's a sense that he's teaching useful survival tips, even if it's not my cup of tea. But Bear Grylls is the sort of thing that would fall foul of the old obscenity laws. It's sole purpose is fabricated titillation - it's danger and disgust porn.

          Injections, dislocations, broken bones (particularly where the skin is broken) and I simply can't even look at operations.

          I suppose you'd call it squeamishness, but it's not like it makes me feel sick at all. It's just like a kind of terror - like that I used to get when I was afraid of heights, as a kid. I'm over that now, fortunately - the Clifton Suspension Bridge sorted me out, on a school trip!

            I'm with GY on Bear Grylls - he is ridiculous.

            One I watched the other night had him being stung in the eye by a bee then tormenting a snake. If you were in that situation, you would stamp as much as you could while running away from the snake, as they don't chase you.

            This twat was edging closer to it complaining that his face was swelling up so he couldn't see that well.

            Shit programme.

              But he needed the snake for it's skin to pee in.

                That doesn't exactly refute the "ridiculous" argument.
