[@dougzirkle5951]

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

[@cdwc]

Thanks cool dude

[@pauledwards6987]

Very good stuff, one thing to point out though.. the ‘Time Machine’ Mausoleum key is not lost. It’s on the inside of the door and completely visible!!! Strange but true. The builders must have exited through the roof. Weird huh??!

[@freeleonardpeltier4148]

Or perhaps someone went in,& didn’t come out…yet!

[@munkeypants1]

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]

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]

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]

You should have blamed it on Jesus.

[@tobiepedroz1321]

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

[@cdwc]

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

[@princeandrew5430]

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

[@cdwc]

You were in Woking that day.

[@alisoncrocker9919]

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]

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

[@EmyGrant]

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]

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

[@nataliebsketching]

I love your illustration of the genuine time machine, both beautiful and spooky

[@cdwc]

Thank you. It took me absolutely ages. Ha.

[@squalloogal]

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

[@cookster1001]

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 KZbin too. The Tomorrow People is jaw dropping in the sense of some of the things they covered in the name of kids entertainment

[@cdwc]

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.

[@michaelwhite8031]

Lucky you got out and there were no dead ends !

[@cdwc]

This joke makes me wish I was six feet under.

[@michaelwhite8031]

We would miss you lol :)

[@mattentwistle70]

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]

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

[@squalloogal]

This feels like a Doctor Who & The Master episode.

[@cdwc]

Maybe I should be the next Doctor Who.

[@JohnLvideos]

If I could go back in time I would tell my previous self what the Lottery numbers will be

[@samdimmock2240trains]

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 👍🏻

[@cdwc]

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

[@BeautifulBadandBizarre]

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

[@cdwc]

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

[@BeautifulBadandBizarre]

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

[@TravellingTorunn]

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

[@cdwc]

Definitely worth a visit cool dude.

[@infidelcastro5129]

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]

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

[@jackspring7709]

Citizen smith!

[@squalloogal]

The pigeon queen 🤣 *humming Feed The Birds, tuppence a bag*

[@AlexAgey]

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]

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.

[@cupcakecontent2226]

Great spooky video

[@cdwc]

Thanks cool dude.

[@lisaperry345]

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]

Excellent advice cool dude.

[@nightheron5892]

Lottery numbers!

[@judybee]

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]

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]

@@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

[@-aquariuscyclingadventures2325]

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]

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

[@-aquariuscyclingadventures2325]

@@cdwc Ha! That would certainly make me laugh seeing this but dangerous aswell, of course!🚴😄

[@thekentishpilgrim]

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]

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

[@matthewmulvale5747]

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]

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

[@bluecraig99]

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]

It was a half beetroot day.

[@chumon1992]

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!

[@stevesmith3990]

The time travel idea would cause a paradox.

[@cdwc]

Don't ruin the fantasy.

[@grayfreeman]

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.

[@anthonyhatter196]

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]

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

[@sfsunday74]

Did you give yourself a point for the bee by the door of the time machine?

[@cdwc]

Ha, no, it is a wasp unfortunately.

[@sfsunday74]

@@cdwc I couldn't see very well (mostly because I hadn't had much coffee yet)

🎃👻Happy Halloween Merek 💀🦇

Yoooooooooouuuuuuu toooooooooo. That was supposed to sound like a ghost.

[@davidm3569]

@@cdwc whooooooo........howwwwwwlll....Grrrrrrrrrrrr.........said Mr Werewolf. 🐺

[@travelbuzz1]

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]

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

[@Gez-C]

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

[@cdwc]

One of the greatest films of all time.

[@jacquettabanana]

Thanks for another great video cool dude. I'd have too much to say in those 30 secs & end up rambling shit no doubt so no point 😅🤣

[@cdwc]

I expect if I met myself the 30 seconds would be explaining I was from the future and not to be scared, then I would disappear.

[@jacquettabanana]

@@cdwc exactly 😆

[@squalloogal]

I can’t bid. Like the recent merch, there’s no option for sending to Australia.

[@cdwc]

I put it UK only as it is too expensive to send and the jumpers were too big to post. I am sorry cool dude.

[@garrymartin6474]

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

[@cdwc]

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.

[@moonooze6171]

That squirrel did seem arrogant.

[@cdwc]

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

[@jenniferburk7965]

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]

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.

[@squalloogal]

If I could time travel I’d give myself the lotto numbers.

[@infidelcastro5129]

Last week’s? 😂

[@nancyq5821]

Wouldn’t it be cool if the walls leading down to the catacombs were made of skulls?!

[@johnharker1888]

Greetings o cool one, Great spooky Halloween episode you didn't disappoint . I will definitely be visiting Brompton cemetery thats right up my ally !! Apart from the whole lotto thing I would tell myself, Don't hero worship people who don't really care about you . Stay cool

[@cdwc]

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.

[@eatknucklefritz]

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.... 🎖️🇬🇧

[@cdwc]

You haven't tried strawberry laces yet.

[@eatknucklefritz]

@@cdwc They don't taste that good with a healthy dollop of Ring O Fire chili sauce. But I do like them 👍🏻

[@steveharris5017]

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

[@cdwc]

Very wise.

[@Niac022]

I can't answer your question of the day because it would be a sad answer but nice video and a quick question for you. Do you enjoy cemetery walks?

[@cdwc]

I like the peace and quiet of cemeteries.

[@Vurtonable]

I am an extremely independent cool dude. Guess what I got sent in the mail today by my MIL. A) 1 pkt strawberry laces, B) 3 pkt strawberry laces, C) An Elephant. Guess wisely. Also… Look at those lovely pigeons & squirrels trying to befriend you, does your bitterness to these kind animals know any bounds!

[@cdwc]

I can't believe I have to do strawberry lace challenges. I guess C) an elephant.

[@Vurtonable]

@@cdwc Correct... No wait… The answer was A) 1 Pkt Strawberry Laces. Which given you told me they come in pkts of 3’s has left me concerned about my MIL’s intentions.

[@vimfuego13]

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

[@archiejane8522]

they could open it if they wanted they possibly already have the time machine /teleporter top secret government

[@twistedbrokenthings3501]

Unlock the secrets of infinity, to jump between the very fabric of time. Powers beyond the reach of the Gods ....*loses key* ...How British.

[@cdwc]

Ha, an excellent point cool dude.

[@ChrisNolan-c5q]

magnificent and mysterious structure and great story ,but seriously a time machine !!!,sorry to be a bore but when this is eventually opened all that will be found will be coffins and a lot of dust ,(sorry)
