Hello and welcome to LetMeBoreYouToSleep.com My name is Jason Newland and this is Let Me Bore You To Sleep. Please only listen when you can safely close your eyes. I'm still waiting on the new app that I paid for.
It cost me £100 to get this thing and it's still not ready. I did this on Thursday and it's now Monday night. Which is a bit annoying but it's not annoying, I'm not shaking my fists in anger.
It's going to be for the Deep Sleep Whisper Hypnosis Podcast. And it's going to be for the Android. So anyone that's got an Android phone or Android app will be able to download it.
So I'm just waiting for it to be ready. Another thing I've been doing, I've been working on my websites. But I have this thing where I get a little bit... I think what it is, is I've got the opposite to not focusing.
I really focus, like really proper. If I'm doing something, I really focus on it. And I can spend ages doing the same thing.
Quite thorough, quite thorough. We say thorough in here but thorough is what some people say. And I get a little bit too focused on the websites.
And then I kind of forget about making the recordings. Which is by far the most important thing to be doing. So I need, I don't know how but I need to find a balance where I'm doing both.
Because the websites are never finished. And of course the podcasts and the new recordings will never be completed either. Because I constantly need to make new stuff.
So yeah, that's the situation. So I've got six websites. I've got the jasonnewland.com All my stuff's on there.
That's all built, everything's on there. Every single episode that's available pretty much is on there. You can stream, download.
It's all organised. Categorised or whatever you want to call it. I've also got deepsleepwhisper.com Which is a Deep Sleep Whisper Hypnosis podcast.
I've got this one, letmeboydesleep.com I've also got a neighbour that likes to cough really loudly. I've got sleepwhisper, I've got, what was it? Whisper, no, sleephypnosisweekly.com Oh, someone's proper sneezing outside. Well, that'd be sniffy.
And then I've got, so that's for the Sleep Hypnosis Weekly podcast. Whatever one. I've got the Free Sleep Hypnosis podcast.
Which has all of my hypnosis sleep stuff. Including these ones as well. This is like 400 recordings on there.
All the different courses I've done. And the ongoing ones, the completed ones. Plus the long sleep sessions.
And then there's the free hypnosismp3s.com And that's another website that's got everything on it. Or will have when I've completed it. So every time I make a new recording I've got to do all the website stuff and put it on there.
So it's a bit of a juggling act. Anyway, today I'm going to, not going to donate. I'm going to donate me kidneys.
I'm going to dedicate this recording to Rihanna Greer. Not for any other reason other than she's well fit. No, no, not for any other reason.
Just, I like to sort of say hello to different people sometimes in the recording. So this is for Rihanna. So I don't know if I've said the word, the name right.
Because I've never spoken to her. And people do, they do pronounce the names differently. I'll give you an example.
When I was in London, I had a job in a call centre. It wasn't really a call centre because no one called in. It was a sales centre where I called out.
And I used to sell people mobile phone contracts. And it's, these were the, it's kind of the early, not really the early days of mobile phones. Or cell phones.
Or mobile, mobile phones. Mobile. That sounds a bit wobbly doesn't it? My head's a bit mobile-y today.
A little mobile. I think, I mean contracts were around before 2001. But it's suddenly I think it became a lot more popular to give free phones away to people if they took a contract.
And I had a job doing that. And I was actually forced to take the job by the unemployment office. Because I'd been off work ill.
I'd been, I was on unemployment for illness. And they decided that I had to go back to work. And it wasn't a case of they reduced my money.
And said that I had to go in to sign on in Cellogist. Because at the time I didn't have to sign on. Just used to get my money every two weeks.
And they decided, this is in 2001. They decided, no. No, you have to come in.
You have to prove that you are looking for work. And there was this young lad in there. I was fairly young really.
I was 30. But he was probably 24. Maybe 23, 22.
But he was short. Short. But he was really friendly.
He had this really high voice. Is kind of what you'd expect. You know when you're a kid and you hear about eunuchs.
And you imagine if someone was a eunuch they'd have a really high voice. But it's kind of not true really. I don't think.
It might be true if the eunuch becomes a eunuch before. So I don't know if eunuchism is. Because puberty still happens anyway doesn't it.
So I don't know. I'm not sure about the. Maybe I need to go and.
Maybe this is a time to pause and Google eunuchism. Eunuchs. Yeah.
Eunuchs. So I had this job. In a shop.
Not in a shop. In a call centre. But it wasn't a call centre.
But it was. Because I called. Out.
But not in. Why would I call in? But I got this job. And the reason.
Is because. A company called Reed. Which is an employment place.
They got a contract. With. The government.
Which was Labour. Government. At that time.
And this was. I think this is probably. What Blair did.
In between you know. Bombing countries. He kind of thought.
Oh why not I'll do. I'll. Get Reed.
Reed to come along. It wasn't actually a name. It wasn't a person.
Although. It might have been named after a person. I don't know.
It's hard to know isn't it. I mean it's. Probably something to Google.
I don't know really. And. Then.
Then. Then. Then.
I. I went into the job centre. Like normal. You know.
I was going to go in there. Sign on. And then.
Head off to my. Cash in hand job. Joking.
I'm joking. I went in. Because I was called in.
Because. I had an interview. With the.
Unemployment people. They do that occasionally. If you're unemployed.
They'll give you an interview. And you have to go in. Explain yourself to them.
And this. It might have been a man. It might have been a woman.
I don't recall. A. A. Exactly what happened. I don't even know.
What day it was. But I was told. That I must.
Attend. A course. A back to work.
Course. And I thought. Oh.
But. You know. I thought.
Okay. Fair enough. I went there.
And. It was actually. This whole building.
Was set out. With reed. Like they did.
Basically. Rent. And.
They rented this whole big building out. And it was big. And you go in there.
Have to go in there. Every day. And.
Apply. For jobs. But they would like.
Really kind of push. And say. We're going to send you.
For this interview. We're going to send you. For this.
We're going to. I thought. It was going to be like.
A week. Course. It was permanent.
It was basically. I had to go there. Until.
They got me a job. Well. Oh.
Well. Well. Well.
I said. Um. I just thought.
The whole idea. Is like. Ah.
It's quite a good idea. Really. For other people.
But. What about. My lions.
In the morning. I like to eat chocolate. In the afternoon.
I got me. Little. Afternoon.
Afternoon nap. As well. And.
I was younger. So. I had to.
Also. Do a few other things. But.
Then. I said. Well.
I didn't. I said. I had to do it.
So. I just went. And.
I had a little moan. On the way home. And.
The. Well. I said.
It wasn't to myself. It was to my little pet tortoise. That I used to carry around.
Everywhere. In a Tesco carrier bag. And.
I said. By the way. If you ever get a turtle.
Or a tortoise. Make sure. You know the difference.
Between a turtle. And a tortoise. Because.
When you actually. Put them into the. The cage.
Or. The. The tank.
It's good to know. The difference. Whether.
It needs water. Or not. Obviously.
Putting water. Into a cage. Is like.
An endless job. Goes. Everywhere.
And. One day. I was in there.
And. I remember. I remember this one.
Because. It was. Again.
Might have been a man. Might have been a woman. Didn't look.
But. There was this. Board.
Of things. Like jobs. And stuff.
And some of them. Looked quite interesting. Because.
After a while. It got. So boring.
Having to go there. I kind of. Would prefer.
To work. Than. Go in there.
Every day. So. I said.
Hmm. Oh. Just.
What's. You know. What's.
Available. And. At one point.
I got quite excited. Because. There was a job.
Available. To. Build.
Computers. Now. That.
Interested me. Because. During.
2000. Onwards. I was.
Proper. Into computers. Building websites.
I was. Obsessed. With it.
So. The idea. Of actually.
Building. A computer. Learning.
Everything. About that. That.
Sounded like. A dream job. And I don't think.
It was like. In some massive. Factory.
I think. It might have been. Like.
Computer repairs. Or something. Like that.
But they phoned up. And that job. Had gone.
I was like. Oh. And they said.
We're going to send you. For a different one. I said.
Well. They said. It's.
Sales job. Selling. Mobile phones.
That's what they told me. I said. Oh.
I don't fancy that. They said. You've got no choice.
I said. Okay. It sounds great then.
So. I went along. And.
They gave me the job. Honestly. Honestly.
I think. I could have walked in. With.
A fresh. Dog poo. Balancing on my head.
And they still would have given me the job. You know. They.
I was getting. It wasn't just. Commission.
So. I did get paid. A salary.
Very low salary. It was like. Ten grand a year.
Or something. Plus commission. And.
It was really. Sales job. But.
I always wanted to be. I always wanted to do sales. But not.
That type of sales. Really. And.
But. I kind of had no choice. Just to do it.
So. I did it. And.
It was in Romford. And. The.
It was quite funny. Because. The.
The young lady. Oh. It was a lady I was dealing with.
Yeah. Yeah. That's it.
She was very forceful. Very kind of. Go get.
Go get her. She kind of forced me to. Go for the interview.
And forced me to. You know. They really just.
Kept like. Following me around. It's like.
You know. Just like. I'm trying to go to the toilet.
Leave me alone. Yeah. But we've got this job.
We've got this job. Remember what you've got to do in the interview. Remember you've got to smile.
You've got to smile. Don't take your stun gun. Okay.
I'll leave it at home this time. Anyway. She took me to the.
She took me to the train station. Which was just up the road actually. It was about.
A five minute walk. And she bought me. A travel card.
For the first month. So that I could. Get to work.
That had everything covered. And. Seriously.
Everything covered. Including. I think.
£500. If I. If I still work in there after. A month.
Or whatever. I get a £500 bonus. Just weird.
Yeah. The whole set up was really. It was quite.
Very clever. The way they did it. Anyway.
I had this job. The reason I mention this. Is.
Because. There was a. A girl. They called.
Sian. S-I-A. S-I-A-N.
Sian. The reason I remember her. Is because she was the top seller.
And. She. Basically.
Did whatever she wanted to do. She would sit there. At her table.
She had make up. She would put make up on. She'd be eating.
Drinking. You know. Alcohol.
But just. You know. Basically.
She just. She made the desk. Her own.
And she did. She. Literally.
Be talking to other people. At the same time. As talking.
To. The customers. And she got.
The most. Sales. Out of anybody.
So. The management. Left her alone.
So. Her name was. Sian.
And then. My next. Sales job.
Was with Churchill. Again. Phone calls.
This time. Phone calls coming in. And.
I. Sold. Car insurance. And.
I met someone there. With the same name. But I'd only seen her on PayPal.
So. S-I-A-N. And she was one of the top sales people.
So. When I did meet her. And I said.
Oh. Hi. So.
You're. I knew what team she was in. So.
I kind of. Found out. I think she was like the only female in her team.
So. Therefore. I knew what her name was.
If that makes sense. So. I said.
Oh. You see. You're Sean.
And she said. My name is not Sean. It's.
Sian. Oh. Wow.
So. I was just like. Oh.
Okay. So. You know.
I got used to this name. Being a certain way. I'll be honest.
I've not really heard that name before. Never heard Sian before. But I'm not sure if I've ever heard Sean before either.
So that's why I'm saying it. It's Riana. It could be Riana.
Riana. Riana. Riana.
Ri. Rinana. Ri.
Riri. It could be Riri. So I don't know.
It's. I think. Riana.
it's from Scotland I think from the Facebook thing and I had a friend from Scotland in my class well not my class my my year so I kind of knew him for quite a few years it's one of my best friends he's called Neil and he it was quite weird because we're not weird but he had a really really strong Scottish accent I think he was from not Berlin BS different country isn't it Nigeria Glasgow I think it was Glasgow and or Glasgow Glasgow and he had a really really strong accent but I got to
understand most of the words that he was saying after a while the first time I went around his house I couldn't believe it because his dad answered the door and his dad was like really quite posh kind of to me he sounded English but he might yeah I'm pretty sure he was English but he might have been kind of Edinburgh but he was really like sounded English to me then I met his mum and his mum had a really strong accent and I just found it strange that he he chose to speak like his mum
rather than his dad when he was living around I thought he would have kind of more gone towards speaking more like his dad when he's around so many other people that were speaking that way but I think he's a little bit of a rebel and he was he's very proud of Scott being Scottish so I think he yeah that might have been what it is the we went in see I got a little memory of him because I got a tattoo on my arm and I got that tattoo when I was with Neil and we
went to basically we were just I think we was on the bus going to the next town I don't know why we were on the bus we well I know why we got on the bus that's why we were on the bus and we clearly decided to go somewhere so that's where we went and decided to go by bus hence being on the bus and I saw someone that I knew but he was my brother's friend my eldest brother's friend eldest older older brother he's four years older than me so it's not a lot in
it really but not when you get to be 70 like I am now and he was saying I said oh you're right then Bob that might not be his name he said yeah thanks Stewie I said no that's not my name I think he probably said mate alright mate I said yeah you alright mate because I was going through a phase where I kept saying you know what I mean after like every every word you know I mean it's like that you know I mean it's cold you know I mean I was walking you know
I mean down the street you know I mean and I tripped over you know I mean I wasn't sure why you know I mean and I don't know why I was doing that I just went through a little phase of doing it of talking and saying you know I mean and I realized that some people they it was just filling in gaps of words gaps where perhaps didn't have anything to say yeah didn't stop me talking as you can hear not having it not having anything to say doesn't stop me talking but some people do
that with swear words don't they they would like just fill in the gaps with swearing and the swearing doesn't actually make any sense because they're not angry they haven't stubbed their toe on letterbox you know they're not like oh and they're like oh bliminack and other such swear words and yeah so we're on the bus I don't know what I was talking about there and he said oh what were you two lads up to then hey what you two lads up to and I said well you know I mean just get on a bus you
know I mean I don't know what I'm doing really you know I mean we just thought we'd go into town you know I mean and he said please stop that I said stop what you know I mean he said just stop saying you know I mean you want me to stop saying you know I mean you know I mean I said yes he said yes someone said yes and but I'll leave that I'll leave and move that away because it's annoying me and she she he he he'd had a sex change and now it's a
lady and she said well I'm gonna have a tattoo done and I said yeah but I didn't ask you what you're up to but he and he said yeah but I asked you what you're up to so I figured you'd want to know what I'm up to I said no offense but I'm never interested in what anybody's ever up to and he said that's a bit rude I said it's not though it's not rude it's just honest I have a very occasionally I'm interested in somebody and I show an interest and I am interested in
what they're doing and you could probably call that love it was probably a love thing but generally I'm not that interested oh you know it's basically sometimes I meet somebody and I like them I don't know why I like them and I'm interested in what they're doing and I show an interest and I care but I don't have that general care into like an interest rather to what people doing it's just don't have that naturally inbuilt in me for some reason and he said well it's quite a quite deep conversation we're having on a bus
and I said yeah well what better place he said I don't know counseling session I said that's that's funny that's a good good one he said thanks I said it's okay he said I do try I mean I try and chuck in a few little jokes along the way I said I know I appreciate it he said yeah thanks so anyway can I just tell you about what I'm gonna do I said yeah go on then might as well he said well yeah I mean it makes a story mildly more interesting if if I get
to talk to you and tell you what I'm doing otherwise it's just me and you talking about not talking about what I'm doing yeah actually that's a good point he said well guess what I'm doing lads so I'll pretend to be excited I said what are you doing then please tell me I can't wait to hear this you know I mean and he said I'm gonna have my tattoo I'm gonna have a tattoo done and my friend Neil said to me oh that's a good idea oh well I said well I said what is and
Neil said what do you mean what is so what so where you been talking about tattoos I said that he said he's gonna go and have a tattoo I say that's a good idea and you say what is so what do you think I'm talking about when I say that's a good idea what digging for oil what what what what do you think let's join the Navy no no I just I wasn't listening I was busy I was looking down there and I just saw someone I actually might be interested in talking to it's a
bit rude I know everyone's saying I'm rude today for some reason perhaps it's because you are okay and I said well yeah let's go and get some tattoos done now I didn't actually believe I didn't mean what I was saying I got no interest in getting a tattoo at that time wasn't interested I never really have been interested in tattoos and for myself I just especially after having that one done it was painful just yeah it's just we've all got interests I like to make hypnosis audios and I suppose I'm quite interested in philosophy and
psychology and psychotherapy and do like watching telly other things and movieography and so yeah I said yeah come on then so we got off the bus I got off the bus and they call me back on saying it's not this stop I said okay bus driver said no you've got off now you gotta pay to get back on I said come on mate you know I mean I just got off and what you're gonna you know he said what I said yes I just got off the bus you know you want to do that to
me what's going on the bus driver said to me listen son if you can as you put a comprehensible sentence together I will let you back on the bus no charge I said please can I get on the back on the bus sir and he said okay and when we got to the destination so I decided just to stay on after the third time of getting off the bus long time the wrong stop I said I'd stay on and wait for them to get off and I just followed them around but I don't like following
people I like it's not that I want to be the leader of the gang and I've not wanted to be the leader of the gang since the 1999 or 98 whatever year it was but I don't want to boss people around I don't want to lead but I don't want to be led either I want to kind of do what I want to do and you can't really do what you want to do if you're in a group and everyone's saying let's go and let's go to the park and drink cider you know obviously not
not now but you know back in when I was younger but I don't want to go to the park I don't want to go drink cider at the park I want to go down to the beach and eat mushy peas no one ever wanted to do that so we went to this tattoo place and my brother's friend the the older lad he had his tattoo and if I remember correctly he was upstairs having it done Andre's just woken up I texted Rihanna not texted Facebook messaged and said she said how's Andre I said oh he's
asleep now but I bet you'll wake up when I start making a recording if you can hear him in the background that's what he's just done Andre I've got him in my arms now you know what I did the other day I leant back in my black chair that's big black squeaky chair and I just leant back in it and I was listening to I listened to this recording not this recording obviously it's not been how can I listen to this every day it's not even been finished but there's a recording I listen to every
day and it's kind of a motivational thing but it's it's by a man called Earl Nightingale and it's absolutely brilliant so I've got it on my laptop and I just play it for half an hour it's I think it lasts for 32 minutes and I laid back in my chair this was two days ago and I laid back and the chair collapsed but backwards so it literally headfirst went upside down and my head smashed against the wall I mean quite hard I had a headache the wall wasn't too happy either and the whole of my
weight was basically pressing on my neck and I was trapped I suppose you could say it's been a little bit you know exaggerationally saying you're trapped yeah but I'm still out I'm still here I can't get out no I did get out eventually but took me about five to ten minutes before I could get out and all I had was me under pants on because it's fairly warm at the moment and there's no one else around I don't sit in my underpants when I've got visitors and I couldn't reach my phone to phone for help
and I don't know fire brigade or I don't know like my friend downstairs to come and help I just needed someone to pull the chair out to help but also to help me get up so that because I was a little bit worried about my neck if I'm honest because I just you know I was but there's no way to maneuver to move myself either side to get out so it's kind of stuck between this chair and the wall and I thought perhaps I should yell and shout and maybe someone will come and help you
know whether one of the neighbors or something and then I remembered that I've got like five locks on my front door so no one would be able to get in you know it's you need to it take a long time to get through that door then I thought well I've got the windows open hello Andre Andre you're the most beautiful little girl in the world and he's laying on my lap now he's just he's being quite calm actually he's kind of half half asleep half awake he's not doing anything he's just he's licking my hand
but yeah so eventually I thought it's the windows open perhaps if I call but then someone have to come up in the ladder on a ladder and open the window yeah get through the window now I've got neighbors that are slim so they probably will be able to get through that window I wouldn't if I tried to get through the window the whole thing would break guaranteed and because I'm not I'm not skinny I'm not you could say I'm possibly not slim either but I do have a new sit-up bench that I bought and it's
quite high I don't know what the right it's basically it's a sit-up bench so you're sitting it supports my legs and then I just do sit-ups so I've got that and I've not been able to use it the last couple of days because of my neck because my neck's been painful and I've had a headache and everything on my neck and I thought with doing these sit-ups it's putting strain on on my neck so I thought oh I'll have a little I'll have a little rest from that and you know what when I when I
thought to myself I'm not going to do any sit-ups today not one part of my brain disagreed with me not one atom in my being thought no no I really should do those sit-ups I was in total agreement every part of me was in total agreement not to do any sit-ups that's quite an amazing thing really it's quite a beautiful thing so my friend Neil whenever I hear the word Neil I always think of Superman too where Zod he says he says to Superman Superman Neil before Zod and Superman does and uh and he crushes
his hand something like that yeah I remember that but my friend Neil had a tattoo of Scotland I think it was the Scottish flag but I think he might have also had Scotland written underneath and he had that on his shoulder I and we were both too young to have tattoos we were 16 we weren't allowed to have tattoos till you're 18 but for some reason this person didn't seem to be bothered and I had a tattoo on my forearm of a dragon's head it's basically a do you know the Chinese festivals where they have
these big dragons and you know there's like a hundred like it looks more like it's got like a centipede because of the amount of legs human legs underneath holding the really long body and they move it from side to side and stuff like that well that's supposed to be the head of a dragon and uh yeah it's a little bit faded because I imagine when I was 16 that was quite bright but it's because uh it's a while ago it's a bit faded and yeah you know I mean so that was it that's uh that's
the whole story really but actually no I think what we did then we I went because I was no that is the story that's the whole story nothing but the story and in later years because we used to hang around I had I had probably two friends that I was that I used to spend quite a bit of time with outside of school but I also had friends in school as well and but there was Dean and Neil and I kind of had different relationships with both of them Dean was someone I just hung around
with from the age of nine probably until I left school although the last year of school I didn't I seem to kind of drift we drifted away from each other I don't really know why it might have just been puberty it sounds a bit weird but it's just there's yeah just there's different and there's a lot of kind of different you get pulled from place to place I think when you're kind of like 15 and there's girls are way more important than friends to the boys and probably it might be the same for for the
girls boys are more important than their friends just it's it's all a big exciting pool of poo that's but you know it's kind of just you know I mean it's a big whirlpool of possibilities and the only thing I was really interested in when I was at that age was doing karate so I was obsessed with martial arts and so me and Neil we used to because I had lots of different weapons and stuff like martial arts weapons like nunchucks tonfas didn't have a sword but I did buy a sword when I got my first
wages off my very first week's wages when I started working I got paid 60 pound and I went out and bought a sword samurai sword the first thing because it was something I always wanted not always you know I don't think there's any point when I was three years old just thinking I wanted a sword I didn't want a bike I wanted this sword but you know when I was that age I wanted a sword oh yeah and it just smelt and felt and oh it's lovely just everything about it was beautiful I mean the
handle alone was just oh but uh I used to have these throwing stars so I used to me and Neil we used to have this big box it uh it wasn't at the end of the garden leaning up against the tree and me and Neil which I don't know how many throwing stars I had I had a few different ones and we throw the throwing stars at this box and uh my family seemed quite okay with it for some reason but yes and I think what other thing I kind of had my little periods with
him where we'd I think Dean was so nice uh I don't mean that in a bad way I mean he was just a lovely person and uh our commonality really was when I met him he was living in foster care or he was living in he was living in a children's home uh Barnardo's and I had lived in a children's home previous for a few years up to the age of seven so I kind of related to him in that way and we both knew what it was like to live in that situation it's a
it's a different it's a uh to people that haven't lived like you know it's it's just an experience so I suppose I kind of related to him and I used to visit him because that's where he lives and I visit him there and I quite liked it there because I suppose if nothing else I got to leave I didn't have to sleep there and the person that owned it was lovely and I got I kind of got to some of his friends and you know when I was in junior school and then the home the
children's home closed down and his the man that ran it adopted him and his sister and he so he went and lived with him and sort of and his dad ran an old people's or a residential home for elderly and so my friend lives there so he's kind of he was brought up with quite a lot of responsibility so he's very uh mature I suppose really in some ways compared to me he's probably more mature then than I am now but he was a lovely lovely person and he was my best friend uh for many
years right the way up through school until probably the fifth year so from the age of nine to 15 really so that's six years but Neil we used to he used to be my I think he was kind of my naughty friend not not in a bad not on a just a bit naughty you know he's the one that I'd get drunk with and and he's the one I started he probably one of the first friends I used to go drinking with when I left school and he was much more confident than I was he
looked older he you know I still looked quite young and he was more confident more cocky more you know he's and he'd he'd go up to a into a bar or a pub and he just asked for a drink and he there was no part of him that gave off that he was underage so that was quite good we'd just go and have a drink and there was a time when he'd be on a moped and he worked on the docks and he used to we used to hang around with each other when I was
living at my dad's when I was about 17 or 16 no 17 and then he got a car so we used to drive around or he used to drive around with me in the passenger seat and so I kind of I had my first experience of driving around in the car and not really being naughty but just you know that first teenager freedom kind of thing with him and yeah that's quite good actually and then in 1990 in 1990 I was I think it was 91 I'd moved to London to pursue a stand-up comedy career
that went well and I visited I came home you know come to visit and I went and saw him and he said he asked me if I'd go traveling with him because he was leaving he was going to go to France and just travel around and I'll be honest I was tempted I was tempted but I didn't go I kind of wish I had now really because I could have just done that and gone back to London afterwards and it would have been you know a great experience but he he went anyway without me and
I think he got together with a either a German girl or French girl and I did visit his parents five years later just to see how they were and so they updated me on how he was because he wasn't living he was still abroad I think but I can't remember what they said but I think it was just his mum there and she was funny and it's she wouldn't even remember me now you know so this is like quite a long time ago but it's she was quite short that a really really strong Glasgow accent
but she was funny really funny and she didn't hold back and I don't think his dad ever really liked me but I think she thought I was all right but they were quite cool because when I moved in because I didn't have anywhere to live when I was 15 so I moved into I was yeah when I was 16 I moved into this flat above the shop that I lived the chip shop and Neil's mum and dad came and sort of gave me stuff like cutlery and cattle and they really sort of tried to help
me out which was really lovely I'll be honest I didn't probably appreciate it at the time um I do now but I don't know I think it was so like uh caught up in being 16 which was quite a while ago so that's it I think that was boring enough that was boring that was boring come on proper proper boring so I hope that the app for this sleep hypnosis we know the deep sleep whisper hypnosis will be up and running and uh the good thing I suppose stats wise the it's increased quite a lot
because there's these different ceilings that I kind of had to break through and the first one was the thousand a day and that took a little while to get through that so I was kind of stuck below and even then it was all right because it'd be sort of six seven eight six hundred a day five hundred four hundred six hundred and that's still really good going and then I hit the thousand mark and eventually I never went under the thousand so it's a thousand one hundred thousand and two thousand three hundred and it you
know it's it fluctuate but I never went under the thousand and now I've got to the point where I never I never go under two thousand it's always above two thousand downloads a day sometimes it's top end it's top heavy you know it's like three two thousand nine hundred I like it when it's top heavy because it just I want it to hit the three hundred the three thousand I want it to get higher than that I've had over ten thousand in a day downloads but that was only a couple of times but it's it's
nice to see it growing and that consistency consistency constancy to be consistent but then consistency isn't that like the texture of something like if you like let's say dough you've got two two orbs of dough and you're kind of massaging them both and you're you're kneading and kneading that's it you're kneading them I do need them and you can feel the texture but you can feel the consistency constance contis contis-tancy conti-tance consistency yeah so whether it's firm wobbly and you know the dough whatever however the dough is because I used to be a baker I
used to be a master baker when I was younger and I used to make bread I actually worked in two bakeries one was a small bakery when I was a kid I worked in a bakehouse in a restaurant and I used to work at the weekends there probably the job I ever had actually one of them and better than a paper round three cakes well they're free if no one sees you eat them and the other thing is I worked in a huge bakery when I was in my early 20s I'm talking massive you know
thousands of people working there huge 24-hour operation so there was less hands-on as far as making you know because everything was being done by machine as far as the yeah I suppose the dough the dough part you don't even got people there like kneading the dough with their hands and just holding it you know like I always used to like it when I when I worked in a bakehouse I was in my teens early teens and I just like I just always like the texture of dough like making bread I liked especially the making rolls
and just to move it around just squeeze it and just yeah I always liked that because I used to be able to do two at a time because you used to like spin them around so they were like the right size and then you put one to the tray and I used to be able to do two at a time yeah anyway I'm going to go thank you for listening thank you very very very much so much ever so much and I will speak to you again next time bye
