#937 Last Xmas Let me bore you to sleep (Jason Newland) (16th December 2022)

Hello and welcome to Let Me Bore You to Sleep. Hello. Please only listen when you can.

Safely close your eyes. And my website is jasonnewland.com Hehehehe Well, it is the 16th of December. The 16th of December, 2022.

Can you really believe? Blimey. End of the year already. End of the year.

Another, what is it? 16... 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30. So another two weeks. Another two weeks until the end of the year.

Wow. Wow! So what's your year been like? It's been a weird year. Every year is a weird year really.

Not in a negative way. Every year is just weird. It's just been weird.

It's been a weird news year. Especially lately. It's got very strange lately.

For those that don't know. I don't normally talk about the news. As you know, if you listen regularly.

But, in the UK. In England. What's this? What? Berlin's Giant Aquadom Hotel.

Aquarium. Containing 1,500 fish. Has exploded.

Sebastian, what have you been up to again? He's always up to something new. Naughty boy, what are you doing? That's just, wow, blimey. That's headline news.

What? So yeah, there's... At the moment. There's a lot of... I was seeing stuff I didn't even know about. There's a lot of strikes going on.

A lot of strikes. In England. At the moment.

How many strikes? In the UK. At the moment. So let's have a little look.

So... I remember back in... The late 70s. Early 80s. Strikes going on.

Now, the biggest one I remember was... The two that I really remember. The first one was the coal strikes. And I didn't really understand.

I was just a kid, you know, I was a kid. I didn't... I used to see the news, but I didn't... I wasn't really watching the news. It was just on... I didn't necessarily understand.

I didn't understand the politics. I still don't really. I mean, I know a little bit about it, but... Because... I didn't live through it.

You know, as far as I wasn't involved in it. I was just a little kid when it all happened. And... I know a little bit about it because... I used to have a friend who was a miner.

I don't mean he was like five years old. He was an actual miner. He worked in the mines.

And he still did that in the 90s. Early 90s. So... I... You know, he worked... He lived in a coal mining town.

Up in Nottingham. So, you know, I kind of got to know a little bit about the history. A little bit.

But I remember the strikes on there. And there was big news on the telly. And all this horrible stuff that happened there.

But the other strikes I remember... That probably had more of an effect locally to where I lived. Like immediately, in a sense. Was the dustbin strikes.

So the dust... The... The refuge collectors. Or something like that went on strike. And there was loads of rubbish left.

I don't remember what year that was. Dustbin strike. Was it the 70s or was it the 80s? Dustbin strike.

Dustbin strike. I think it was the 70s. Was it 1975? No.

Surely it happened later than that. I mean, that's in Glasgow. But there was a lot of rubbish out.

So maybe it was that early. I mean, I was only 5 years old. In 1975.

I'm surprised I remember that. But I'm pretty sure they also went on strike later on. When I was a little bit older.

So I... Those are the kind of the only two that I really remember. Although we used to have a lot of power cuts as well. And this was late 70s, early 80s.

Power cuts were quite frequent. I remember that. I'm not sure why that was.

I'm not sure and I don't know what caused all that stuff. But at the moment, there is... Rail workers were on strike. It says there's some 417,000 working days were lost to strikes in October.

And UK's... Not just the railway, but just basically all over. So we had the biggest... October was the biggest month of striking in UK history. According to the internet.

The internet! And the railway strike, maritime and transport union have gone on strike. The nurses have been on strike. I think it was yesterday.

Border guards were on strike at the airports. Ambulance drivers have been on strike. We also had teachers.

Didn't we have teachers on strike as well? Who else was on strike? The postal service. They've been on strike. It's kind of been big.

There's been a lot of striking. I don't know if it happens in other countries. I guess it does.

But we do have strikes and stuff. The railway strikes. That's not the first time that's happened.

It's been happening for years on and off. I don't remember nurses going on strike before. I remember the fire department.

Fire men and women going on strike. I remember that a few years back. Post office or the postal workers.

I'm pretty sure I remember them being on strike in the past. Teachers, yep, they've been on strike in the past. It seems that everyone, they've all kind of been going on strike around the same kind of time.

The last couple of months. And it's just a bit strange if I'm honest. It's just a... It's weird.

Weird times. Weird times. And I don't really understand it all.

I don't... You get one thing. I hear one thing and then the next minute I hear an expert on the other side and they make sense. Then I hear an expert on the opposing side and they make sense.

And it's like, OK. Both sides of the argument actually make sense. They can't both be right.

Maybe they are. I don't know. That's why I have no opinion either way.

Because what's the point in opinions? I just hope everyone gets what they want. I like the idea of everyone being a winner. You know? That's my kind of ideal solution.

Everyone coming away a winner. However unrealistic that might be. But... Hmm... Weird.

Weird, weird, weird, weird, weird times. The old electricity, gas, all that stuff. It's just all strange.

But I won't harp on that because I'm sure some people listen to this to get away from that kind of stuff. I don't normally talk about the news and things like that. But... I just... It's just been a weird year.

But if we do a... We could do like a little top up. Maybe the coming month. Over the next couple of weeks.

Do a rounding up of 2022. From my perspective. And also maybe from... You know.

World, news, sports perspective. I don't know. Music perspective maybe.

I'm so out of touch with music. I really am. Really, really out of touch.

I mean, top hits. 2022. Okay.

Any UK. I mean... You know. I really... Officially 40 biggest... So this is the official charts.

These are the 40 biggest hits. Now... Guaranteed I won't know a lot of them. Wow.

This is interesting. I'm going to turn this down. I just heard a bit of a weird sound.

In the singles. The official singles charts. Last Christmas is number one.

I hope it gets to number one. Like stays at number one for Christmas. I'd love that.

Last Christmas. I gave you my heart. The very next day.

You gave it away. Okay. Where's the hits then? Huh? Right.

Official top 40 biggest songs of 2022 so far. As it was. Harry Styles.

I know who he is. But I don't know the song. Biggest song of the year.

I don't even know it. Peru. Fireboy, DML and Ed Sheeran.

Don't know that song. Bad Habits. Ed Sheeran.

Don't know that song. Go by Cat Burns. Don't know that song.

Shivers. Ed Sheeran. Don't know that.

Running up that hill. Kate Bush. Yeah.

From 1977. Didn't know she'd re-released it. Heat waves.

Glass animals. Where are they now? No. We don't talk about Bruno.

Nope. 17 going under. Nope.

Make me feel good. Nope. Starlight.

Cold Heart. Cold Heart. Elton John and John and Dua Lipa.

Afraid to feel. Where do you go. I don't know any of these songs.

Easy on me. Okay. It's the first one I know.

Easy on me by Adele. Yep. That was number 20 in the whole year.

Wow. So one song. Literally, I only know one song out of the top 40 for the whole year.

No, two. Running up that hill. But I don't know how that's number six in the charts.

For the whole year. Did they do like a new version of it? Honestly, I don't know. I could research it.

I could look it up. But I can't be bothered. There's another song called Down Under.

But I'm guessing it's not going to be the Men at Work version. Or another version of that one. I mean.

Blimey. So yeah. It's kind of strange.

I don't. I'm so behind. You know what I used to do? What I used to do when I was younger.

Most things happened when I was younger. I used to. And the last time I did this was probably.

Like regularly. Was probably. 2000.

2013. Every Sunday. Afternoon at four o'clock.

There'd be the chart show on the radio. It lasts for three hours, I think. Four to seven.

And they'd basically count down the top 40 hits. Of the week. And it was a mixture of sales.

Online sales. And streaming. Now.

I don't even know if you're able to buy CDs anymore. I don't know. But streaming.

Of course. You know. I think it's mainly just streaming these days.

Spotify. And Apple Music. And.

You can buy. You can buy. Music.

Of course. Online as well. I'm pretty sure still.

As well as streaming. So. I used to listen.

Every Sunday. Just to keep myself up to date. With.

You know. The latest music. Because I didn't want to be.

I just didn't want to be one of those people that. Is. Just.

Out of touch. Completely out of touch with music. Especially as.

I've always loved music. You know. Since I was a kid.

Always. Always loved music. All types.

I'm not. You know. I'm not a big.

Heavy metal fan. I'm not a big country and western fan. Country music fan.

But I like those genres. I like certain songs. And certain.

Performers. You know. It's.

I like different types of music. You know. It doesn't matter if it's.

From Buddy Holly. All the way through to. Elvis Presley.

Bill Haley and the Conets. I think I'm stuck in the 60s. And the 50s.

But I like all kinds of. I like music from the 80s. Because that was my.

Childhood time. You know. From the age of 10 to 20.

I think the music. You know. I would say the music.

Between. I was influenced by music in the late 70s. Because I was.

You know. Seven. Eight.

Nine. Ten. But I would say between 10 and 20.

The music had more of an influence. For those 10 years. Very.

Very in touch with what's going on. But even. Even in the 90s.

I. You know. I was listening to the radio. All day at work.

So all the latest. Songs. Charts.

And everything would be playing. So I'd get to hear all that stuff. So.

I was up to date. With what was going on. Mainly the.

The hits. The ones that they kept pushing. And kept pushing the same songs.

You know. Replaying the same stuff over and over again. But I was definitely in touch.

With what was going on. With popular music anyway. Not.

You know. Not like nightclub stuff. Or.

Underground stuff. Things like that I wouldn't know about. And then in the 2000s.

Well in the late 90s. I was doing like DJing. As a hobby.

And. So I was playing all the latest music. And so I had to be more in touch.

With what was going on. And what was in the charts. You know.

Also dance music and stuff. So I was very into that. I was very.

Not knowledgeable. But I knew what was around. And.

I know how to put on a very. A very. Cohesive.

Cohesive. Wedding disco. Or an 80s disco.

I could put on a very good 80s disco. But I do. Or a you know.

A head night disco. So I definitely know how to. Even now I could do it.

I just need the songs. If I just have a choice of songs. Of anything.

I could play the right songs. To get people dancing. Not an up to date crowd.

But. You know. Like a. We don't care what we listen to.

We just want to listen to something. That's old and memorable. Like Gloria Gaynor.

Or. Come on Eileen. Wham.

Or. You know. Those kinds of things.

So. It's to be fair. It's not completely.

It's not very hard really. To put it together. But I knew.

I knew what worked. I got to. Got to figure it out.

Which ones were the best. Which ones always got people on their feet. And.

Yeah. But I. Somewhere along the line. And I think it was about 2001.

Really. 2002. 2003.

2004. 2005. 2006.

2007. I kind of lost. I lost.

My. Grip on. Not completely.

Like now I'm completely lost my grip on. Not reality. But on the music.

What's going on in music. But. During that time.

I probably. You know. I'd go.

I wouldn't listen to music. So much. You know.

I'd. I had things I like to listen to. There's certain albums I would buy.

And. You know. I would listen to music.

But I've always. You know. Certain things I like.

And I'd listen to it over and over again. And I know that. There's some amazing songs.

That I missed out on. And some that I've heard since. And I thought.

Wow. I remember I heard this song. It was in a pub.

And this was. Probably about 2007. 2007.

Yeah. Early 2007. I was sitting in a pub.

And I'd go in there. And I'd have about four pints of lager. And then I'd go home.

I'd just sit in there for a couple of hours. And I was listening to this song. And I thought.

This is brilliant. This is such a brilliant song. And I said.

Oh. This. This.

How come this wasn't a hit? And the person. I think behind the bar. Or someone I was sitting next to.

Or whatever. Said. It was.

It was the biggest hit last year. It was the biggest song of the year. It was like.

Oh. OK. I've never heard it before.

And I was like. Oh. OK.

So it is. You know. I kind of missed out a little bit.

And I do realise that. When I do look. And open up.

And I just open my mind up. And listen to some music. New music.

That I've not heard before. Sometimes I really. Just really like.

The new stuff. The new. A new artist.

So I'm not stuck. Where. I can only listen to.

Certain music. You know. I remember.

Years ago. My friend's. Stepdad.

Said to me. Oh. You only listen to.

Songs from the 60s. Because no good songs were written. After the 60s.

And this was in the mid 90s. Like. Yeah.

OK. Right. So two and a half decades.

Nothing. Not one good song. And he just like.

No. Nothing after the 60s. And I've heard people.

Even online. I've seen what they've written. Say that.

Nothing. Since the 70s. Nothing good's been written.

Since the 70s. Or some people say. In the 80s.

Was the best. Decade. Some people say.

In the 80s. Was the worst decade. Now.

80s. I would say. The first half.

Of the 80s. Was pretty good. Second half of the 80s.

Wasn't so. You know. I don't know.

There was a lot of. In the UK. Stock Aitken and Waterman.

Kind of took over. I don't know if you've heard of them. They.

They took over the music industry. I mean. Oh yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Of course they took it.

No. They literally. They ruled the charts.

In the UK. In the 80s. Now.

You're probably thinking. Aitken and Waterman. You're probably thinking.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

He's just making stuff up again. Well. Really.

You really. Yeah. Yeah.

Okay. Here we go. Right.

Here's a list of songs produced by Stock Aitken and Waterman. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11.

1555. 1556. 1557.

1559. 1500.

another hundred maybe 150 songs added on I can't be bothered to add them all up in fact why doesn't it just surely it should say it was top why doesn't it just tell me oh people list of songs that over a hundred top 40 hits in the UK alone so others you know didn't get in the top 40 but over a hundred top 40 hits it's pretty you know they they really did it was the takeover they took over and and what they did is it was all pop mainly pop stuff but they also they

took in about 1986 was 85 Neighbors a TV soap from Australia called Neighbors arrived on the TV and it became popular and so did Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan the two main well kind of the main stars really of the show and Kylie Minogue got given she won a it was she got given a record contract so she already had hits in Australia before she even came to the UK I think locomotion locomotive or ever do the locomotion did it did it did it do to be now come on baby do the locomotion and in

any new to me now yeah and then Jason Donovan he started making hits and then a few a few of the stars from there and then the stars from Home and Away and it was just huge and then to be fair 89 87 was yeah and then I think probably it did that I'm not sure the timeline is but Rick Astley was their biggest act like worldwide he's got to be the biggest because he's he's too many broken hearts in the world no what was it what did Rick Astley sing hold me in your arms

yeah he did sing that but was it never gonna give you up never gonna let you down that one it was I think by far their biggest worldwide hit because it was huge in America as well was a big worldwide so Rick Astley was their biggest one but they also had Hazel Dean Sonia Sanita yeah loads and loads and loads so look at some of the acts this is the assembly line blimey and you okay right so some of these are actually really good songs and I didn't know at the time people didn't really know

Stockachin and Waterman you know they did they weren't famous at this point the acts were but they weren't but the you spin me around dead or alive you spin me round round baby round round like a record me me me me me me so that was that was a big hit that was a good song Mel and Kim respectable respectable that was a huge hit so that was again never heard of Stockachin and Waterman even though that was 1987 when they you know it's really Rick Astley Rick Astley was kind of the break the break

in yeah let it be fairy aid a cover for the 70s Beatles okay so did that that's good but then I should be so lucky Carly Minogue I should be so lucky lucky lucky lucky 1987 then especially for you Carly Minogue and Jason Donovan then too many broken hearts by Jason Donovan hand on your heart Carly Minogue and then very crusty mercy and didn't oh didn't the soldier soldier stars have huge hits in the 90s and they were Stockachin weren't they no maybe I'm wrong soldier soldier soldier soldier soldier it was a TV show Robson

so yeah this what you might know you might know Jerome Patrick Flynn he was in the game of thrones and he was what did he I know he character he played he was one of the like stars he was in it from right from the beginning pretty much it's weird because he kind of hasn't he was brawn 36 episodes but he's great character in that brawn it was like a gun for hire but not a gun a sword for hire oh wow he was in that as well blimey that's weird because Ian Glen there was

this TV show right that I watched and it was 1988 and I remember watching it the first time it came out was on ITV I was 17 and it's called the fear and there's another TV show called the fear and it's different different show absolutely brilliant I just remember loving it loving it loving it loving it loving it like that and then never saw it again it's almost like they just they showed it and it was done they never re-showed it now I found it online I think it might be on YouTube or somewhere because

I've been waiting to see it and I'm like no I want to see it's you know looking through 17 year old eyes compared to the 97 year old eyes I've got now and I thought just be nice just to see how different it would be Vinnie's over there snoring the proper snore you know my little puppy Vinnie's got his eyes they're open but they're closed at the same time I know he's snoring because there's noises going on and he'd normally react to them but he's not hearing them maybe you're listening to me just not sending

him to sleep but this TV show was good really really loved it and it was according to this five episodes yeah I think it was on a Sunday night but I might have that wrong what I didn't know is the person who played it in Glen in Glen is someone that a lot of you will know from yeah Game of Thrones so Jorah Mormont so Jorah Mormont 52 episodes thought what I did not recognize him at all I'll be honest with you he looks nothing like him you can kind of see it but he's now

61 1987 what he was what 26 27 28 26 so you know it's a lot a lot of difference Wow 26 87 97 2007 2017 89 and 22 on to send Wow 87 nicer it's over six years Wow so yeah it's it's soldier soldier that's that's what I was trying to look for wasn't it I was looking for soldier soldier okay London's burning he's snoring he's got part of his eyes open but they're moving side to side he's either dreaming or he needs to be I need to get an exorcist he's in REM not the

band Wow lean ahead he's lean ahead oh so he was in now they're gonna talk about his music he was on a TV show called soldier soldier and you're so in London's burning okay he was in London's burning I don't remember it but then what he did oh it wasn't it was Simon Cowell it wasn't Stock Aitken and Waterman it was Simon Cowell so him and his other and is the other actor green where is Robson green who is in soldier soldier very popular TV show they did a few songs that went straight to number

one first one was unchained melody see I remember the one up on the roof up on the roof doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo weird is it on his pages Wikipedia page you're not mentioning it really they're briefly talking about it but that was by far the biggest thing that he did like in this country you know they were number one for seven weeks on the UK charts with unchained melody sold more than a million copies the best-selling single of 1995 they're two further number one singles I believe and what becomes of the broken heart but they did up on

the roof as well they did up on the roof I remember that why not mentioning that for them why did I mention that I remember oh it's no link to their music which is weird so Robson green songs I need to know I can't help it I'm sorry Robson Green song releases.

So Robson and Jerome. Robson's full official chart history. That's what I want to see.

See. Singles. Three UK number ones.

Three UK top 10s. Three UK top 40s. Three UK top 75s.

Ah, that's where I created it wrong. They released three songs. That's why they're three.

They all went to number one. Why didn't they do any more? I think they must have just not wanted to. Wow.

So Unchained Melody was the 20th of May 1995. Number one for seven weeks. I Believe was the 11th of November 1995.

But it was also Up on the Roof. I remember the Up on the Roof. I like that song.

I also like I Believe. Isn't it interesting though, because it's got the, I mean, I don't know, is this American or English? Because it's got 2005. Oh no, it must be 20.

Yeah. No, because sometimes the dates are different, aren't they? So in England, we put the day, and then the month, and then the year. I know that some other countries put the month, then the day, then the day.

So today's date is the 16th of December. So here, 16-12-2022. Instead of 12-16-2022.

So if you put 12-16, I'm going to think it's a 12th. So I can see it's not the 16th month. So I can see, okay.

But if you put 10th of the 10th 2022, I don't know if that's the month or the date. I don't know why we can't all just do the same thing. But it's, I understand the reason.

I never did understand the reason for it, but I do now because if you've got a database, it all fits better in that order. I just, you know, yeah, it just works better that way. And so anyway, the 20th, the 9th of the 11th 1996.

So they went a whole year, but they didn't make any records. And that went to number one as well. They must have had two albums then surely.

They had three albums. So why did they have, that's weird. Isn't it weird, right? Okay.

The first album, Robson and Jerome, Robson and Jerome, 25th of November, 95, went to number one, seven weeks. The album was at number one, 46 weeks in the charts. The second album was 96 in November, take two.

That's called number one and weeks at number one for two weeks. And I had 18 weeks in the charts. And then a year later in November, 1997, I'm guessing aiming for the Christmas audience, I suppose.

Happy days, the best of Robson and Jerome. They released three singles. How can you have a best of singles? Three singles, four, if you include the up on the roof, you know, B side, but back then all album, all singles had B sides, I think.

Up on the roof, do, do, do, do, do. I love that song. I do.

I really do. Wow. That's a little bit cheeky though, isn't it? The best of, when they had three hits.

Yeah, three huge hits. I mean, yeah, if you get to number one, to be at number one for seven weeks for your very first song, is amazing, isn't it? Yeah. I like them.

And it was all kind of, I don't want to say cheesy, but light, but needed. Very much needed. You know, it's just a bit of light entertainment.

It was nice. They were popular and maybe they stopped doing it because they wanted to concentrate on their acting careers and I'm sure they made a nice little bit of cash, but I reckon they could have continued. I mean, if every, if you have three songs and each one goes to number one, then your next two songs, they could have at least get in the top 10, aren't they? They should do.

Don't you think? I mean, you could probably release Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star and it'll still get probably in the top 10, top 15. Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star. Maybe not.

Maybe I'm just being silly, but that was a Simon Cowell thing. So that might have been where they, where he made his break. Like in the charts, maybe he got his, that might have been his first huge.

Robson Jerome were a musical duo comprised of actors, Robson, Go Lightly Green. That really is, no, that's not a real name, is it? Go Lightly. Born in Hexham in December 18th, 1964.

And Jerome Patrick Flynn born in Bromley, March 16th, 1963. The duo were unexpected stars of the Souljar, Souljar, which they appeared in during the early nineties. During the episode of the show, the duo performed a cover of Unchained Melody as the Unrighteous Brothers and public demand led up to, oh yeah, public demand led to up and coming music mogul Simon Cowell to hassle the then reluctant duo into recording it for release.

Robson, this is what it says here, the OfficialCharts.com website. Jerome and, oh no, Robson and Jerome eventually relented and the song became the second highest, no, the second biggest selling single of the decade. The whole of the nineties, the second biggest selling.

Robson and Jerome Mania was a brief but intense 18 months which ended in 1996 when the pair of them snubbed Cowell's offer of three million for a third album. They fled pop and went back to acting, but they did release a third album, didn't they, eh? That's weird though, it's got three albums here. Albums, albums, three UK top four, okay yeah, that hit number 20, so they just released the best, he, Simon, released the best.

I say Simon because we're bestest buddies, yep.

I'll tell you a similar thing happened to, oh what's his name, there was a TV show called A Viddy Same Pat and basically, in the show, this is my memory, I'm gonna have to check it, but my memory is, I'll tell you what the show was, it was basically, and this was in the 80s, early 80s, 90s, yeah 80s, and there was a bunch of builders, brickies, bricklayers or whatever, and they were in Germany on a building site, living there and working, and it was just following their antics, there was one, two, there was Pat

who was an ex-wrestler, a huge man, him, there was Jimmy Nail, okay another really, really tall, what's his name, Timothy Spall, and they all went on to be really big stars in their own name, like, you know, their own TV shows, different things, loads of different things, Timothy Spall, I think he's been nominated for Oscars and things, and yeah, there's about five or six of them, anyway, and this was in my middle teenage years, and Jimmy Nail who played, I don't know the name of his character, he sung a song, very similar to in Soldier,

Soldier, you know, where they sung a song and suddenly people saying, can you release that song, well Jimmy Nail sung a song, I'm pretty sure is Love Don't Live Here Anymore, that's my memory, and then he is a similar situation, I can't remember, I'll have to just check, to be honest with you, I'll have to check how it happened, but then he went and had a singing career, so let's have a look, Jimmy, I feel the same Pat, he also was in Spender, and Tele Music, why are they doing this, they're talking about his songs

from the 90s, what about the 80s songs, annoys me sometimes, television, music, discography, okay, Take It Or Leave It, Jimmy Nail discography, Take It Or Leave It, 1986, what about singles, Love Don't Live Here Anymore, hello, thank you very much, I Take A Little Bow, 1985, it was number three in the UK, number five in Ireland, and New Zealand, 28, a little sweet, little cute yawn, and so yeah, Love Don't Live Here Anymore, you abandoned me, don't live here anymore, and that was 1985, and then he released another song, 1986, that got to number 112,

so I guess he took a rest, then in 1992, Ain't No Doubt, he released that, went to number one in the UK, went to number one in Ireland, and yeah, it was a good hit, and then, Ain't No Doubt, Only Love Can Be Beautiful, Crocodile Shoes, was the other song that he had a hit with, got to number four in the UK, Crocodile Shoes, Crocodile Shoes, Crocodile Shoes, Crocodile Shoes, Crocodile Shoes, Crocodile Shoes, nothing, it went something like that, and I've not done it justice, he was, Jimmy Nail was actually at a gig that I

did, it's weird isn't it, I wasn't at his gig, he was at my gig, but it was at an art gallery, opening some kind of art exhibition, and for some reason, they put on stand-up comedy, and my friend was booked to go on, but it was just a free spot, she wasn't getting paid, and she asked, she didn't feel very well, I was going just to watch her, and she asked me if I'd go on instead of her, she didn't feel very well, so I did, didn't go particularly well, no one was listening, very loud

and everything, but Jimmy Nail was literally head and shoulders above everybody, thanks for that noise there Vinnie, that's lovely, brilliant, he's, I don't know, he's not mentioning his height, because obviously we don't, it probably gets fed up with hearing about it, but he's really, really tall, probably getting on to seven foot, and, but I was, I was, I was a fan of his actually, right away from, I view the same pet, I loved Spender, I used to watch that, that was a TV show he was in, yeah, Danny Films, they did bring back, I view

the same pet, in 2002 and in 2004, and that was good as well, so 40 episodes all in all, and he was in the TV show Crocodile Shoes, I don't remember, I would have watched it, because I was a fan of his, so I definitely would have watched it, Spender 1991 to 93, great show, it's a really good show, he's, yeah, so I've not really reviewed 2022 if I really, I'll gradually do it throughout the rest of the month, but right now I've got this little doggie here that wants to go for a walk, so

I'm going to have to take him out, you want to go for walks, yeah, make a little squeaky noise, gonna make a noise for me, yeah, all right, I'm gonna go, thank you for listening, remember to be kind to yourself, because you deserve to be happy, be gentle with yourself, and I'll speak, did you hear that, oh, oh, I'll speak to you tomorrow, bye.
