Hello and welcome to LetMeBoreYouToSleep.com and jasonnewland.com. My name is Jason Newland, this is Let Me Bore You To Sleep. Please only listen when you can safely close your eyes. Hope you're well, excuse me, I'm tired, I'm tired and I'm hurting, I'm tired, bloody my back, oh and I keep moaning about my back, but my back, bloody hell, bloody hell, you know what, I'm not allowed to swear is it, yeah it is, it really is, all you do is bloody swear, so hey, hope you're well, etc, etc, I'm just, this will be my last recording of the day.
It's been a busy day, lots and lots and lots and lots of stuff, doing lots of stuff, lots of things and I went to the garage earlier, all I was getting was just a couple of chocolate bars pretty much, just you know, I went out more for the walk, just to get out and I'd forgotten me wallet, can you believe it, I forgot me wallet, now being a human being as I am, I like to blame, I like to try to attribute blame to things like that, you know, I have to blame, I'm very, there's
a stupid side of me, has to have a blame, needs to be a blame, blame and I blame the coronavirus situation because for about two years I couldn't really use cash, no one seemed to accept cash, so I've been using me card, paying by card, I went out without me wallet, I didn't have any cash either because I'm used to just not using cash, it's just, you know what I mean, if my back continues the way it is, I will be seeking medical attention, it's getting a little bit, that was a message from our sponsor,
if I'm gonna have a little, you know, check to see that, what's going on really, I've got a message from Ben Dover, hi Jason just checked out your new website and linked it to my Apple podcast account but it didn't show up in Google, had to manually put it in my browser, just checked out your new website and linked it to my Apple podcast account, how did you link it to your Apple podcast account, the website is just a normal website, perhaps I didn't, I might have given a wrong impression, sorry, it is a podcast,
it's not a podcast in the same way as Apple podcast and stuff, it's just the website with the podcast on it, if that makes sense, the RSS feed is on the website so you can, which means then you can add it, so for us just go to the website, so it's just a normal website but with the podcast embedded into it, but underneath the let me bore you to sleep big banner or the big, you know, the big picture, there is the Spotify then the RSS feed, so if you click on your RSS feed and
I think if you just copy the address in the address box, you can then search for it I think or you can add it to your podcast app, but if you listen on Apple podcasts you don't need to do anything, just continue doing that I think, so it's not, yeah, I'm a little bit confused here, you have to manually put in the website address to use it, it's like any other website, if you think about the jasonnewland.com website, it's just exactly the same process, so let me bore you to sleep.com, however, all that's on there
is the podcast for that, for this podcast, I'm not, I think I'm, I'm not even sure if I'm making sense to myself, but yeah, all it is is just the podcast, so all the latest episodes of the podcast are on there, but if you're listening on another podcast anyway, you may not need to even go on to the let me bore you to sleep.com, however, I am planning to add a bit more stuff on there, a bit more, maybe community stuff, a bit more contact, you know, make myself a bit more contactable, because there is
a contact form on there, and maybe try, because there's so many recordings, 700 and, blimey, I don't even know how many, nearly 750, if not more, episodes of this podcast, what I was thinking of doing is trying to organise them, you know, like one to a hundred, you know, into hundreds or fifties even, so that you could find what you're looking for quite
easy, however, if you just put in search podcast, and put in 99, and click return, and oh, that's interesting, it doesn't come up, it will come up, but no, it's not coming up, that's a bit rubbish, 699 comes up, 599, 499, 399, 299, 199, but not 99, isn't that strange, what if I put the asterisk or whatever before, if I put in 98, no, it's the same there, so the search bar isn't very good actually, not with numbers, but if you remember a particular podcast that you remember the title of, and you think, oh, where
is it, what number was it, and it's called, let's say if you want to look for a podcast with Andre in the title, which I mentioned there are a few, so click in, there are, yeah, there are a few, blimey, well, probably not all the ones, but these are the ones that are coming up, number 696, 660, Jason Chats, 659, 614, 585, 543, 532, 518, 506, 478, 437, they're the numbers of the podcast that have Andre in the title, and then you've got 7, Jason's bedtime story, Andre the Ferret discovers unconditional love, oh, blimey, I
think, maybe that, I'm thinking, maybe it's time to do Andre stories, not about, you know, not about my life with him, but maybe start writing some little stories about him, you know, and perhaps having them as the Jason's bedtime story time, or, you know, just doing adventures of Andre, and just make some silly stuff up, like how I do, you know, be a little bit absurd, occasionally, very, very, very, very mildly, almost unintentionally, vaguely humorous, very, very mildly humorous, you won't notice it, but it'll be a tiny little dash of humor somewhere along the way,
478, blimey, 20th of August last year, Andre is very manipulative, and then 24th of June last year, Andre's vet visit, so that really was unwell the first time, number 518, Andre thinks he is a flying monkey, number 506, Andre is on the naughty step, and the rest, I don't know, yeah, there you go, what if I put in a word ferret, put in a word ferret, naughty ferret, taking a dog and a ferret for a walk at the same time is a right mare, that's number 505, that's interesting, 473, I was awoken by, I mentioned
that was Andre trying to eat my toes, if I remember, that was back in 13th of August 2020, blimey, blimineck, so yeah, Ben, basically, I think I might have given the wrong impression about this website, it's not, I mean it is a podcast, but it's not a podcast, it's a website of a podcast embedded into it, so it's not a podcast in the same way that, I mean it's just using the RSS feed the same as Apple does, the same as Stitcher, Spotify, Google Podcasts, because my home, my podcast home is Spreaker, and that's where
the RSS feed comes from, so that's where everything is housed, and then the RSS feed which is the link to all, it opens up all the episodes and everything, that, I share that with the different podcast directories and apps, that's kind of how it works, but the website, it's, I mean I don't know, was it even worth even doing the website in a way, I don't know, but it seemed like a good idea at the time, I can't believe it, it's someone local yeah, they're trying to sell a bin for £35, I mean come on,
if you've got something, it's a one year old bin, oh it's a square sensor bin with motion sensing technology, I don't care if it has boobs, you cannot sell it, a bin that's been used for a year is a stinky smelly bin, if you don't want it anymore, give it away, but I think that about anything, don't sell anything, give it away, ok some things, you know if you're a car, you might not be able to afford to just give your car away, but if it's a household thing, and you don't want to use it
anymore, it's no use to you, or it's an unwanted gift, or you've just, you're not going to use it anymore because you've replaced it, just give it away, give it to someone, give it to a charity shop, it's like let's skim every single little bit of money out we can, £35, retails online for £65, I mean, really, it's a one year, they're saying it's a year old, so if it was as new, if it was still in the same packaging, which would mean that, yeah fair enough, retailed at £65 instead of £35, it's still in
it's packaging, it's new, you wouldn't put we bought it, it's a year old because we bought it a year ago and it's still in the box, no, they've been using it for a year, using it for a whole year, no longer needed following kitchen remodel, really, I mean what's next, are they going to be putting toilet paper that they don't need anymore, reused, it was used here but they don't need it anymore, we've, you know, and there's a video, there's a video here showing motion sensor working on request, just give it away to someone, if
you don't want it anymore, give it away, blimey, wow, this is brilliant, this is the best thing I've seen in my life, ok, this is brilliant, this is someone with the same kind of sense of humour as me, he's seen all this rubbish that's put on the thing, people trying to sell stuff and still giving it away, so he's put corner sofa, £93, details, condition, used, like new, lovely corner sofa, we'll need a few sprays of Febreze, there's a picture, basically rooms, a hoarder room, full of junk and dirt and crap and the sofas in
the corner of the room covered in rubbish, it's funny, that is actually funny, the thing is, no one's commented, not one comment, how can there not be a comment, that is brilliant, in fact I need to share this, I need to share it, how can I share, share to a page, share to a page, that's it, right, ok, so if I put in, I've got to share, if you're on my Facebook page, have a just check, I'm going to share this picture, share to a page, brilliant, absolutely brilliant, hopefully it will have their name on
there so they can see, I will do that when you actually click on it, click, it will come to them, good, absolutely wonderful, I can't believe, imagine if you do click buy, ok you can't actually, you can't pay for it, have a check it out, that's made my day, I'm so happy with that, it's very funny, I think it's because it's so, these buy and sell it things like on Facebook, just, come on, stop selling crap, just, you know, if you've got something that you don't need anymore, I give stuff away, I never, I don't
sell anything, I don't even sell my own, my own product, do I, my product or my drug dealer now, I don't even sell my recordings, I give them away, I give everything away, you know, if you're going to get a new city and you've got an old city that you don't need anymore, give it away, if you can't give it away, fly dump it, it's the right way to do it, isn't it, just dump it in a field or something, isn't it, that's the right thing to do, isn't it, or dump it in the middle
of a motorway and it will give the activist something to sit on, because I haven't seen anything or heard anything about other countries having this and, you know, environmental activism is worldwide, isn't it, so I can't imagine we're the only country that has those kinds of activities occurring, but there was this woman, I saw this thing, like last, in the past, the police didn't do anything, but recently, for some reason, this recent spate of them doing it, the police have been moving them or asking them to move and now think it's illegal to do it,
they've changed the laws, but what has been happening, drivers have been getting out of their cars and dragging these activists out of the road, which is brilliant, I love it, they're not hurting them, they're not, no one's, well, I don't know, but I've not seen any attacks or anything, which I'm surprised about, because people are very heated, and the weird thing about it is the activists always seem to be either women or very quite elderly men, you don't have any, like, young, 25 year old, big old strong men there as activists, because it would be
a different situation, wouldn't it, well, all my back's hurting, you wouldn't be able to drag them, you know, out of the road, but today's one was different, because I saw a video on YouTube, and this woman in a car, she was going, getting very, very angry, very angry indeed she was, and she was threatening the people, get out, get out of the road, my child is 11 years old and needs to get to school, the relevancy of her child's age, I couldn't figure that one out, he's 11 years old, he has to get to school,
I mean, if she'd have said, my child has to get to school, was anybody in the world going to ask her how old was her child, was anyone interested, I guess they really thought, well, school age, I guess, you know, does it make a difference if the child's 11, is that a significant age, I don't know, but she got out of the car and she was so angry, and there's these two women, and they look, these women look brain dead, that's what's weird, and the men, not just the women, the men, they look almost like
they've turned their brains off, and they're just, because, let's face it, sitting on a motorway, just sitting down in a motorway is probably one of the dumbest things you could ever do, like, for safety reasons, it's just the dumbest thing, isn't it, it's very, to just sit in front of a lorry, you know, there's a chance the lorry won't see you, even if they're moving slowly, there's a chance, it's very dangerous, very dangerous, so they almost, they've clearly switched their brains off, as they were sort of sitting there, and these two women, another thing that
surprised me, usually, all the ones I've seen, most of the ones I've seen have been quite elderly, like, maybe my age, maybe older even, like in their 70s, 60s, 70s, 80s even, the day I saw there was a woman, she couldn't have been more than in her probably 30s, and that so surprised me, just because I hadn't seen, I guess I just got used to a certain group of people, I generalised, like a human does, and then, these two women, okay, they're sitting in front of this big old car, it's a big proper, I don't
know, it's not a caravan, a 4x4 thing, you know, it's a big old thing, and she gets back in the car, and she starts to drive forward, I just, I mean, she easily could have seriously injured these two women, or killed them, I mean, you know, an inch could have killed them, and they sat there, they were so dumb, that they still sat there, a car, I mean, there are people out there that will run you over, if you sit in front of them, you know, it's only a matter of time, if they keep doing
this, they're just going to pick the wrong car to sit in front of, and the car, they will, the person will just run them over, I probably know people that would do that, so, not everybody will stop their car, and you know, no one really wants to see that happen, in the heat of the moment, perhaps some people will say, yeah, run them over, but you know, in reality, in like cold, logical, you know, get in touch with some kind of humanity, no one wants to see anyone really get hurt, but they really risked their
lives, because that car, big old car was moving forward, and the looks on their faces, was again, the dumbest looks I think I've seen on anyone, almost like, I don't know what to do now, I'm just going to continue sitting there, picking a fight with a truck, with a huge car, you can't win, it's too big, it's too strong, and like, honestly, one inch, and it could have broke their spine, their neck, and killed them or anything, could have like really just, for what, it's, it's, I don't know, I'm not surprised more people haven't actually
been run over, like literally run over, because of this, last year, they, and it was a different group of activists, but environmental, I think the word, the last bit of that word is probably correct, environmental, not enviro, and they were blocking off parts of London, bridges and stuff like that, now I'm just surprised that people weren't chucked off that bridge, you know, I'm surprised that some of the drivers didn't get out of their lorries or their cars, pick them up and chuck them over the bridge, but a lot of them didn't do anything, they just
sat there, didn't do nothing, because they said they wouldn't get in trouble, now, I wonder if the, I know it wouldn't happen, but if the, I mean Preeti Patel would love to put this law forward, just saying, you're allowed to run them over, if someone stands in front of your car on a motorway, but to be fair, if you're in a lorry, going on a motorway, I don't know, doing 60, and someone drives in front of you, if someone runs out in front of you, purposefully, to stop your lorry, if you swerve, you're likely to
cause more damage, you know, causing a pile up, multiple injuries, all kinds of stuff, if not, you know, worse probably, so, you're probably better off just to keep driving, not keep driving, but to stop, but to not swerve, because if you swerve, you're going to be knocking other cars into the line of traffic, on the other side of the motorway, coming forward, carnage, absolute carnage, because someone decides they want to, I wonder if they want to be on telly, I imagine they're able to converse, I don't know, they just had a real, you know that
dumb look in someone's eyes, when they're like really, I have that dumb look on me a lot of the time, I try to explain to me things, calculus, origami, relationships, things like that, I just struggle with, and you know, it's like, oh, what do you mean, is that, I don't know, it's almost just, I don't know, there's something weird about that, seeing a car, pushing these two ladies, I noticed all the men got out of the way, I don't know what that's about, no one jumped in front of the car, to join the women, they
were on their own, and this car was moving forward, and how nothing bad happened after that, let's face it, they probably, a lot of these activists are probably related, or if not related, very good friends, so you just witness someone potentially running over your wife or your husband or your friend, how do they not react, and you know, remove that person from where they're sitting, in their driving seat, and chuck them off a bridge or something.
Got to think about being chucked off bridges today, it's my new thing, it's a safe distance for water, so no one gets hurt, and everyone has arm bands and parachutes first as well, you know, it's all safe, this is safe stuff.
There's this, a man and a woman, I've seen them so many times on video, I think they look like brother and sister that got married, I imagine, and they both look like they're in their 70s, maybe even 80s, you know, and both got the same kind of bodies, it's just skinny, they look fairly tall, maybe, you know, probably taller than me, but very skinny, weak looking, and just keep walking and sitting in the road, and people drag them out, and they just, they drop their body to the floor as soon as they get dragged, sort
of make it harder to be dragged, it's got to hurt them when they're pulled onto the pavement, that's concrete, that's got to hurt their shoulders and their neck, and then they just walk back into the road and sit down again, what is in it for those old people doing this, because the environment disaster is not even going to affect them, maybe more if they've got grandchildren, so, what does it matter what happens after you're dead, to other people, it's up to them, they've got to deal with that, says the man that has no children or
grandchildren, I don't understand the concept of caring about anyone really, I don't know, just that, being a parent, being a grandparent, I don't get it, it doesn't register with me, I don't, you can't understand what it's like to play Scrabble with a polar bear unless you've done it, same as being a grandparent, just, you know, I mean my dad, you know, he's the best grandparent there is, not as good as everyone else is of course, because everyone thinks that probably, don't they, but he's just, he's a much better grandparent than he was a dad, a
parent, for some reason that, all the niceness is there for grandkids, that unlimited amount of love is just there, especially for my niece, he's like she's his world, weird, well not just weird, it's just weird to me, I can't get my head around it, I don't understand, why do you like her, why don't you like me dad, why do you like her more, they're not even blood related either, it's like step-niece, step-granddaughter, I'm relating blood, I've got half your DNA dad, give me some money, give me, give me, I always say to him, look, why
don't you, if you're going to leave me money in your will, why don't you just give me the money now, so you can enjoy watching me waste it in front of your eyes, didn't sway him, he didn't seem to, I thought it was a good argument, I don't know where I went wrong with that one, so anyway Ben, I got a little bit sidetracked by the whole activists, I think there's something, I'm not saying there's something wrong with activists, but I'm sure that they've done some great things over the years, and maybe my whole life
would be different if it hadn't been for previous activists in the past, who paved the way for a better life for me, however, I'm not sure, because I'm not a woman, I'm not black, I'm not gay, so there's a lot of activism on that, I can vote, so I didn't need any issues with people voting, didn't need help with that, what other things, so what activism has actually helped me, I'm not sure, honestly, I don't know, I suppose I'm not an animal, well that's negotiable, but yeah, so I don't know if any activists have actually
been of use to me, some would argue, well the environment, yeah, probably not really going to have too much effect on me, we've got to do this by 2050, so what are we now, I'll be 80 by then, I don't know, I mean, I think part of me is, you know this big guilt trip on people, that the government and the charities, the activists, whatever, try and put on people, I don't know, like a dolphin, it's been, they show a dolphin that's died because of plastic carrier bag or something, so now we have to pay,
what, 10 pence for a carrier bag, that's if the supermarket feels like giving us one, I can honestly say, I have never once, not even once, not even for a joke, not even to impress a lady, have I ever dumped a carrier bag or any plastic into the ocean, I've never done it, I've never done it ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, I've never dumped cans into the ocean, I've never dumped bottles into the ocean, I've never dumped anything into the ocean, so there, therefore, I ain't going to take that crap of being blamed for all
that stuff in the ocean, because I'm not, I didn't do it, the people to blame for that are the people that dumped it in the ocean, I know that's controversial, oh, no, no, logic, I can't understand logic, now we've got to go through emotion, emotion, emotion, what about the dolphin, what about the tadpoles, oh, you know, it's horrible that stuff's happening, but you know what, I ain't responsible because I've never done it, pick me up on stuff that I've done, I've never dropped, the only thing I've ever dropped in the ocean is a poo, and
that's been me own poo, and everybody's done that at some point in their life, you know, everyone, of course, not everyone actually goes to the ocean, to the beach, specifically to drop one in the ocean, but you know, it's, not everybody gets a ferry, just so they could do a poo in the sea, I'm saying, you know, that's the only thing I've ever dropped in the ocean, so if everybody was like me, wouldn't the world be perfect, that's what I'm saying, like most people have never dropped anything in the ocean, the blame is not upon
the people, the blame is upon the companies that dumped the rubbish at sea, simple as that, very simple, but what about all the stuff that's flushed away, and in your toilet, well I don't flush away rubbish either, again, I use toilets for what they're supposed to be used for, I don't use them so I can send messages in a bottle to someone else, you know, in another country, via the sewers, you know, into the sea and hopefully someone will pick it up, oh, what's that, you know, it's just, like I want to do a message
in a bottle and they open it up and all they're looking, they look at the letter, at the little message, it says, I'm watching you, it's like, ah, who is this person, oh, I don't know, it's like we've got to take responsibility, if you buy something, then you're responsible for what the producers of that product do to the environment, no, if it ain't available to buy, um, um, um, oh, wait a minute, let me think, let me, I'm not going to buy it, bing, if it isn't available to buy, you won't buy it, oh, ooh,
ooh, ooh, can't grasp that one, I ain't going to buy stuff that ain't available, you know, there was years ago, because of the furry people, the anti-fur people, and because of the, er, basically giving people a guilt trip and just being extremely hostile towards people that wear fur, fake fur, or is it faux fur, whatever, became more popular, and the more popular fake fur became, the less popular real fur became, and this company got in trouble with the activists, or got in trouble with the government as well, by selling real fur as fake, as like
the opposite of what you'd expect, because there was so much, so many real fur coats that would just sit in there in factories, that they were selling it, so these manufacturers were selling it to shops as fake fur, because that's the only way they could get rid of them and actually make any money, so those people walking around with fake fur coats on, so they thought, feeling superior to the rest of us, when actually it was real fur, now the other argument is, and it was like, wow, so that $90 they might have spent for
that coat, 5 years ago, might have cost them 2 or 3 grand, but now the, it's, isn't it, it's weird, I mean I don't see the point, we needed fur coats in the past, the days before we had an alternative, now we have an alternative, we don't need fur coats, but environmentally, that's where the environmentalists and the vegan activists and stuff, anti-fur, I guess that's where they would collide, because using real fur is more environmentally friendly than producing material from plastic and all other kinds of things that has to be produced in factories and all
these dyes and all this stuff, and all the pollution that comes from those factories, but with a fur coat, it's way more natural, it's, it's, I love that, I love the idea that these really angry people will get angry at each other, because like, oh, we don't know what to do, because like, oh, they just want to be angry at something don't they, I think sometimes, some people, I've got a friend like that, she just has to be angry, has to find something to be angry at, I've got more than one friend like that actually,
gotta be angry, gotta blame someone, gotta be angry at something, I have got a few friends like that, and I'm so chilled, I'm really not really an angry person, I like to make fun of things, I'd rather mock something than get all, what's the point, what's the point in getting, there's no point, what does it really matter, you know, there's enough people in the world to make those changes happen, and they're doing so, all these environmentalists, like, oh, we're not doing anything, we're not doing enough, well, you're messing up pleasure in life, you environmentalists, they've
messed up so much of the little pleasures in life, so, yeah, I'm not a big fan of them really, they've now got a new law coming in, which is going to cost households, household owners, thousands of pounds to change the boilers, and it's 15 years away, but after 15 years, these boilers won't be allowed, the boilers they've got, and they'll have to buy these expensive, you know, energy-saving, environmentally-friendly things, in only a few years' time, you won't be able to buy gas cars, you know, they're aiming to electric cars, and I think you'll be able
to have a hybrid, one that has both, but you won't be able to have just a petrol car, so, all these little things they're bringing in, bit by bit, but it's the little things that really take away the pleasure, carrier bags, yeah, I did say the word pleasure and carrier bags in the same sentence, OK, maybe that's not the right word, but, I get deliveries, when I can, I get deliveries from the supermarket, no carrier bags, they come in these baskets, these brown, smelly baskets, and all the stuff's just loose in there, it's all got
packaging on it, you know, I don't really buy loose vegetables and stuff, so it's all, you know, covered, but the fact is, there's maybe, sometimes 30 objects, like little objects, just in one basket, no, I'm not an octopus, what the hell, how the hell am I supposed to get that from my, from the hallway, into my flat, without making like 100 journeys, I say, give me bags, charge me, no, I just won't give bags, because they're scared of upsetting the environmentalists, well, I don't chuck away carrier bags, I use them, which luckily, I've got some,
and what I do when I get a delivery, I use those carrier bags, and fill them up, and it takes a while, before, when they used to deliver in carrier bags, you'd be like, that's something to grab hold of, pick them up, and then a delivery person would be gone, it'd be done in, I don't know, a quarter of the time, now, especially with my back, which is why I get a delivery, because my back's a bit of a problem, bending over and stuff, well, all I'm doing is bending over, continuously, I mean, things like
that, they make it harder, they're making it harder, it's harder for older people as well, they're taking away the little, everyone needs a little bit of help, I just, cardboard straws, that was like a yawn and a sneeze at the same time, if you've ever been to McDonald's in the last year or whatever, cardboard straws, disgusting, absolutely disgusting, feels horrible, it's like scraping your nails down a blackboard, honestly, it's horrible, cardboard against your teeth, urgh, environmental, I mean, I don't know, it's just, it's little, tiny little luxuries, like that, that I didn't even know I
liked, I didn't realise that I enjoyed being able to suck on a straw and have a nice milkshake without my teeth cringing and itching, but no, took that away, seeing on the beach, I've been able to look out, now with all these windmill, wind farm things, ugly, ugly, ugly, ugly, ugly, ugly, ugly, they're not nice to look at, they're huge and they take up, they ruin the scenery, scenery's gone, scenery destroyed, if you went to Thailand and suddenly all these windmills were on there, you wouldn't want to go out, this is disgusting, it's a beautiful
beach, the scenery's beautiful, you've ruined it man, you've ruined it, urgh, you've ruined it, see, you just go urgh, urgh, why, there's no need, well there is a need but, what other things have ruined, urgh, the stuff you get for cleaning, or anything basically, whether it's deodorant, whether it's toilet cleaner, washing up liquid, that environmental stuff is absolutely rubbish, it's rubbish, rubbish, it's pointless, there's just no point having it, if you're going to stick something down the toilet, you need it to be really strong, you know, just proper strong stuff, the stuff you get, I
don't know what they call it, but it's just really, really weak rubbish, if you're washing up liquid, you're lucky if you can get any kind of a foam going at all, honestly, you pour it into a bowl and it just looks at you, it just lays there looking at you like it's just floating on the dead sea, it's just like, yeah, what do you want, all I want you is to be washing up liquid and be slippery and soapy and bubbly and to be active so I can wash up the dishes, no man, we're just
going to lay here, like we do in the motorway, we just lay there, that's what we're good for, that's what we're good at, we just lay there, we don't actually want to do anything, we're just going to lay here man, like okay, can't you just help me wash up this dish, I need to eat, I need this dish to be clean so I can have that, no man, sorry, it goes against our values, see, we're doing everything, we're just sitting here lying down, that's what we do, you know, please do something, like you pour this
stuff down the toilet, honestly, I don't even pray but now if I, when I use that stuff I pray, please clean something, get rid of some of the germs, please, and I'm pretty sure that I clean more germs just urinating into the toilet than using the environmental friendly toilet, toilet cleaner, honestly, I don't believe that, I just, I mean, I think, we as a country, and some countries are doing pretty good, you know, but there's other countries that aren't, like China doesn't care, they just do not care, India pretty much do not care, but how
can you tell a country like India that's, it's not actually, it's not a poor country at all, it's just most of the people, a hell of a lot of people living there are very, very poor, and will not care about recycling when they haven't got enough food, or, you know, to feed their family, but what are they going to care about recycling, you know, you need to be in quite a comfortable position to be able to then focus your energy on something like that, I know some people, oh yeah, but it's important, you know, it
gives us, it looks after the children, and the children are our future, the only future the children have for me is when I'm old, for them to be wiping my bum and dressing me and feeding me, that's it, that's the only, that's the only use children now will be when I'm older, they'll be in their 20s or 30s, not all of them, but some of them, as carers, and I'll be there being cared for, that's another use to me, la la la la la la la, one day your child is going to be looking after
me, feeding me, feeding me, feeding me, never know, I want to be financially independent so that I can just choose who I have doing that personal care for me, yep, I won't say any more than that, but I'll be, yeah, I'm, yeah, I'm going to choose, it is someone that I want, mind you, isn't that the reason to get married, isn't it, so that you've got someone to just waste years of their life looking after you, and there's a, yeah, that's got to age a person, isn't it, being a carer for someone, it's got to
age them, like really, like, I've seen people that are carers, and they lose their partner, and you can see there's almost a sense of elation, just that it's over, they're horrified, and you know, they're, they're bereaved and all that stuff, but there's this part of them like, just like, wow, it's over, and it's just like, wow, and no one's allowed to admit that, are they, no one's allowed to just, it's like, but why, it makes sense, of course you're going to have a degree of relief, you know, we're not allowed to say that, no, I've
had all the bereavement I'm going to have, really, I mean, my nan died, and Andre died, and that was it, there's no one else that's, I suppose, if my dad passed away, that'd be difficult, but the two most important people are gone, I don't know if I've got it in me to bereave anymore, having that, I've used it all up, I've used all my bereavement up, all my tears are dried, and I, I left them in a cup, I'm trying to think of a rhyme, I'm going to, yeah, I'm going to start up some poems,
I used to write poems when I was a kid, seriously I did, and they weren't all awful, some of them were quite funny, so I might, if I had them, I'd read them to you, because I think you might, I don't know what you might, but you might like them, that's why I do wish, all the stuff that I, where I've been creative in my life, I wish I still had all that stuff, like when I was a kid, and I was writing poems, and writing songs, and attempting to write books, you know, stories and
stuff, all the drawings of spaceships and designs, and all that kind of stuff that I used to do when I was little, even drawings of birds and paintings that were awful, I'd like to be able to, I wish I still had that stuff, and then all my diaries, and all my journals, and all the jokes that I wrote, and you know, all the times I was on stage, and to have a video recording of every single performance, you know, I don't, there's no way of having that, but even then there wasn't really, because I didn't
have the money to pay for it, I didn't have the money to pay for a video recorder, but just how amazing that would be, just to have all that stuff, and I could look at it and think, well, it'd be good to have a look at that and think, yeah, I have progressed, but I don't know, I don't know if I have though, I'm not sure, anyway, I want to go, because it's getting late, so, if you are activists, I think you're brilliant, keep up the good work, I'm just teasing man, I'm just teasing, right,
remember to be kind to yourself, because you deserve to be happy, do something nice for yourself, that doesn't involve sitting on a motorway, okay, lots of love, bye.
