00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:23.599
I'll be tomorrow fifty five years old, fifty five, fifty
10
00:01:24.760 --> 00:01:29.120
fifty five, even if you say a quick least it
11
00:01:29.319 --> 00:01:35.439
sounds old, yep, fifty five. As I got my hand
12
00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:39.920
on top of my head, really feeling the temperature difference
13
00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:47.280
in my ball spot. It's weird, and like, h I wonder,
14
00:01:47.359 --> 00:01:49.159
I'm not sure if I wonder if I have any
15
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:55.640
hair by the time I'm sixty five. So yeah, So
16
00:01:55.719 --> 00:02:00.359
it's my brother was born well now clearly was born
17
00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:04.680
the day before my birthday when I was I turned eight.
18
00:02:05.079 --> 00:02:09.960
So basically he was born the day before my eighth birthday.
19
00:02:11.879 --> 00:02:19.960
And I remember that quite clearly. Yeah, so I'll tell
20
00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:26.960
you about that in a minute. Oh yeah, I got
21
00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:34.639
uncle sausages funeral on Thursday at nine thirty, So that's
22
00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:38.639
going to be a weird one. But I do still
23
00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:41.360
intend to do a Q and A Friday This Friday.
24
00:02:41.639 --> 00:02:49.520
I need to post a question thing on faith book.
25
00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:53.360
I had a lot of questions last time last Friday,
26
00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:57.960
lots and lots of questions. So I'm gonna if I remember,
27
00:02:58.039 --> 00:03:01.960
I will post that. I could do it now while
28
00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:04.159
I'm thinking about No, I can't because there's no Internet
29
00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:13.080
on my phone because I always put it onto Yeah,
30
00:03:13.240 --> 00:03:21.319
I put it onto what's it called airplane mode, so
31
00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:24.719
I don't get disturbed by all the millions of phone
32
00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:33.479
calls that I get on a daily basis me. So yeah,
33
00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:37.639
I'll do that after this. So it's bank Collored in
34
00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:47.039
Monday here in the British Isles of the UK England Commonwealth,
35
00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:55.960
and it's a nice day outside. It's really nice, little
36
00:03:56.039 --> 00:04:00.520
bit of wind which is good. It's fairly hot there,
37
00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:11.039
very sunny. What he took Vinnie out earlier about seven
38
00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:16.920
o'clock ish, and of course he barked at a couple
39
00:04:16.920 --> 00:04:21.959
of dogs like he does. I missed the old days
40
00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:25.360
when he was really like when he was ten months
41
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:28.839
old and I first got him he was happy to
42
00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:33.040
see every single dog excited. He just wanted to run
43
00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:37.720
up to them and be friends. He's not like that anymore.
44
00:04:39.319 --> 00:04:42.879
He's got the dogs that he's friends with, and anyone
45
00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:50.120
new he's not particularly interested in, and especially the big dogs.
46
00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:56.680
He doesn't like big dogs or generally black dogs. But
47
00:04:56.759 --> 00:04:58.639
he's got a couple of black dog friends, so he's
48
00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:04.600
not completely racist, but he's definitely you know, he's got
49
00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:07.560
a thing about sheep dogs, what they called colliers or
50
00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:11.040
whatever they're called. Yet one of his good friends is
51
00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:21.040
a collier's. I can't figure him out, really, So not
52
00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:24.079
a big fan of him doing it anytime, but not
53
00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:28.160
early in the morning or late at night. Just not
54
00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:34.079
not really, don't even really enjoy that. It's because some
55
00:05:34.120 --> 00:05:38.319
people like he did it. Yesterday we turned a corner
56
00:05:38.360 --> 00:05:40.920
and there was someone there of a dog, and did
57
00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:43.680
he's barking, And both the people the dog would give
58
00:05:43.720 --> 00:05:47.600
me funny looks like he's just a dog. He's barking.
59
00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:54.120
That's what dogs do, man. But you know, I could
60
00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:58.959
be responsible for him up to a limit. You know,
61
00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:02.279
he's on a lead. He can't do any mischief, but
62
00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:05.040
as far as barking, he's going to do that. He's
63
00:06:05.079 --> 00:06:07.959
a dog, that's what you know. I can't stop him
64
00:06:07.959 --> 00:06:12.879
from barking. I try and stop him, and I'm usually
65
00:06:12.920 --> 00:06:17.439
able to calm him down. But ultimately, if he decides
66
00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:20.920
to start barking, which I think is kind of automatic behavior,
67
00:06:21.639 --> 00:06:24.759
he doesn't plan it. He's not got a little alarm
68
00:06:24.839 --> 00:06:29.040
goes off on his on his watch that tells him
69
00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:34.120
all time to bark. No, it's just an automatic response
70
00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:41.800
to outside stimuli. I'm guessing I don't know where he is.
71
00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:46.319
He's on the floor somewhere. He came in licking his lips.
72
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:49.439
So I've got some food, got some water, or change
73
00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:51.959
his waterever because he was in a bedroom with his
74
00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:55.240
water and his food did not touch his food f
75
00:06:55.279 --> 00:06:57.879
him last night. So I've given him some new food.
76
00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:02.920
Put it out. I haven't got anywhere near it, and
77
00:07:02.959 --> 00:07:04.240
I think he's just done a big fart.
78
00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:10.040
Wit.
79
00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:13.480
No, it wasn't me, it was him. If it was me,
80
00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:17.079
it was a silent one. But normally even if it's silent,
81
00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:24.399
you know, still feel the air bad. So, yeah, it's
82
00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:28.199
another week, another week in August. It's the last week
83
00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:33.160
of August. I do believe so what we've got twenty
84
00:07:33.240 --> 00:07:42.879
six tomorrow, just Tuesday, my birthday, fifty five, twenty seventh, Wednesday,
85
00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:53.040
twenty third on Thursday, twenty third, Wow, twenty six, twenty seven, Wednesday,
86
00:07:53.680 --> 00:08:01.519
twenty eighth, Thursday, twenty ninth, Friday, thirtieth, Saturday day, very
87
00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:06.680
first Sunday, and the first of September will be next
88
00:08:06.720 --> 00:08:15.879
Monday in a week's time. So, yeah, that was a
89
00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:18.600
bit pointless, really, wasn't. I just reading out the numbers
90
00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:24.480
of the days. The weird thing is, I just really
91
00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:33.240
enjoyed doing it, and I don't know why I do know. Yeah,
92
00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:39.720
I haven't really done much today, although it's still fairly early.
93
00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:45.080
It's only eleven twenty five in the morning. I mean recently,
94
00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:47.799
I have been doing recordings a little bit earlier than this,
95
00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:55.240
but it's been relatively quite outside. So I thought, ah,
96
00:08:55.720 --> 00:08:58.840
maybe i'll make a recording. There's not much screaming and
97
00:08:58.919 --> 00:09:04.279
shouting and you know, ding dongs going on out there.
98
00:09:05.759 --> 00:09:13.200
Plus one two three, four, one two four out of
99
00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:15.840
six of the flats in this building are empty at
100
00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:22.320
the moment today. Anyway, one's on holiday. I think one's
101
00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:24.399
gone away for the weekend or so. I don't know.
102
00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:27.080
I haven't seen them because I put some black bags
103
00:09:27.080 --> 00:09:29.759
out there out the front for them. There's a little
104
00:09:29.799 --> 00:09:32.000
gift and they haven't brought it in, so I guess
105
00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:37.320
they're not around. And then yeah, one downstairs on a holiday,
106
00:09:38.240 --> 00:09:40.360
and then they have two flats that are empty anyway,
107
00:09:40.759 --> 00:09:47.039
So there's only me and downstairs that they're here today.
108
00:09:47.799 --> 00:09:56.440
So pitt quiet and I don't make much noise. Generally,
109
00:09:56.879 --> 00:10:03.840
I'm fairly fairly peaceful neighbor. I would, I would, I think,
110
00:10:04.000 --> 00:10:10.720
I hope. So I have asked intermittently my neighbor downstairs
111
00:10:10.759 --> 00:10:14.120
just to make sure that I'm being quiet enough, because
112
00:10:14.159 --> 00:10:15.759
I don't, you know, I don't want to be one
113
00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:20.720
of those noisy neighbors. That's almost like my worst scenario.
114
00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:28.600
Just yeah, other than having a really noisy neighbors, that's
115
00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:38.960
that's up higher than that, you know. So hmmm, yeah,
116
00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:40.960
the weakerheads looking.
117
00:10:43.559 --> 00:10:43.720
Well.
118
00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:46.360
I don't really do anything on my birthday anymore.
119
00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:46.840
I used to.
120
00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:54.799
I used to celebrate my birthday every single year, not
121
00:10:55.000 --> 00:11:01.559
as in like having a birthday celebration party or anything
122
00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:04.320
like that. I'm talking about as an adult. When I
123
00:11:04.360 --> 00:11:07.600
was a kid, I used to have parties. I think, yeah,
124
00:11:07.799 --> 00:11:13.600
pretty much. But as an adult, most of the time
125
00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:17.879
when I was in London, I would take the day
126
00:11:17.919 --> 00:11:21.879
off on my birthday, I'd go up to the West
127
00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:30.159
End and just chill out. I'll become I suppose, like
128
00:11:30.240 --> 00:11:34.960
a tourist for the day and I'd go and eat out,
129
00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:38.120
and I'd go and I'd be on my own every
130
00:11:38.159 --> 00:11:42.559
single time, and I'd just, you know, just go to
131
00:11:42.600 --> 00:11:46.879
the West End. I would look around, go into the bookshops,
132
00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:53.600
maybe buy a book, go and get McDonald's. I saw
133
00:11:54.080 --> 00:11:57.080
her an advert or saw an advert on TV for McDonald's.
134
00:11:57.679 --> 00:12:03.039
And now they're using the term Mackie d for McDonald's,
135
00:12:04.480 --> 00:12:09.960
which just shows you how how slow companies are to
136
00:12:10.200 --> 00:12:13.600
use because I heard that term when I like twenty
137
00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:17.600
five years ago, people talk about mcy d's. So now
138
00:12:17.759 --> 00:12:22.320
McDonald's just realized that people use that term. I personally
139
00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:29.639
don't use that term because it's McDonald's. I did the
140
00:12:29.679 --> 00:12:32.919
idea of actually making a cute name for something that's
141
00:12:32.960 --> 00:12:37.919
so harmful for me, you know, I mean McDonald's, Okay.
142
00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:40.759
I used to like McDonald's used to be a treat.
143
00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:45.799
Now it's I would have I would go to McDonald's
144
00:12:45.840 --> 00:12:48.639
if there was nothing else to eat, it would be
145
00:12:48.679 --> 00:12:53.759
a last resort. I think i'd even choose a sausage
146
00:12:53.879 --> 00:13:03.519
roll over McDonald's meal. Generally, Yeah, it's if I'm in
147
00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:05.960
the middle of somewhere and I've got no other food.
148
00:13:06.600 --> 00:13:13.360
I'll go to McDonald's only if there's McDonald's there, because
149
00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:14.519
otherwise I wouldn't be able.
150
00:13:14.440 --> 00:13:16.159
To go, could I. No.
151
00:13:19.440 --> 00:13:22.200
Oh, So.
152
00:13:24.399 --> 00:13:33.159
My birthday, my birthday, my birthday, My my birthday, my birthday,
153
00:13:33.519 --> 00:13:42.480
my birthday, Oh fifty five? How many birthdays I can remember?
154
00:13:44.919 --> 00:13:54.120
I can't remember last year. Well, birthdays stand out in
155
00:13:54.320 --> 00:14:02.600
my life. Okay. The first birthday I call was when
156
00:14:02.639 --> 00:14:07.240
I was living in Newcastle in a children's home and
157
00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:10.000
I come down. I've told this story before, but I
158
00:14:10.080 --> 00:14:15.399
come downstairs because my birthday was always during the summer
159
00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:21.399
holidays when I was at school, so right from being
160
00:14:21.600 --> 00:14:23.360
I don't know when I first went to school. I
161
00:14:23.399 --> 00:14:27.120
don't know what age I was, but I never had
162
00:14:27.159 --> 00:14:31.919
to do anything on my birthday until I started working,
163
00:14:34.360 --> 00:14:36.720
and then when I got to my twenties, I kind
164
00:14:36.720 --> 00:14:43.919
of decided I'm not working on my birthday anymore. So yeah,
165
00:14:44.120 --> 00:14:47.840
my first birthday recollection because I didn't know what my
166
00:14:47.879 --> 00:14:51.399
birthday was. I didn't know how old I was back then,
167
00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:56.679
so I guessed and I was probably about five. And
168
00:14:57.519 --> 00:15:02.600
I come downstairs. I'm late, must have slept in or something.
169
00:15:03.240 --> 00:15:10.960
I go into the canteen because the the Children's Home
170
00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:14.759
in Newcastle was a lot better than the Children's Home
171
00:15:14.759 --> 00:15:19.720
in South End where I ended up. It was it
172
00:15:19.799 --> 00:15:24.159
was just nicer though. The place was nicer and as
173
00:15:24.200 --> 00:15:27.879
far as brighter and where we ate it was like
174
00:15:27.919 --> 00:15:31.600
a conservatory thing and I don't know, it was just
175
00:15:31.639 --> 00:15:35.000
a nicer and it was all surrounded by fields and
176
00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:40.840
you know the play area, big play field was swings
177
00:15:40.960 --> 00:15:48.480
and stuff. Yeah. Anyway, I so I come down and
178
00:15:48.639 --> 00:15:53.600
I'm sitting at the table and someone says, oh, happy birthday.
179
00:15:54.399 --> 00:15:58.279
I said, okay, I had no idea it was my birthday.
180
00:15:59.120 --> 00:16:02.399
Neither did they. I mean, obviously I did, because that
181
00:16:02.519 --> 00:16:06.320
just said happy birthday, and because I know I had
182
00:16:06.320 --> 00:16:08.919
that conversation with him. I said, how do you that's
183
00:16:08.960 --> 00:16:13.440
my birthday? And she said I didn't. I said, well,
184
00:16:13.440 --> 00:16:15.480
you just told me happy birthday. How can you say
185
00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:20.200
happy birthday if you didn't know it's my birthday? She said, well,
186
00:16:20.240 --> 00:16:22.960
I could just be making it up, and I could
187
00:16:23.000 --> 00:16:26.600
say happy birthday to anyone at any time, you know.
188
00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:29.559
But I said, what are you you making up? And
189
00:16:29.639 --> 00:16:34.000
she said no, I'm not. I said, okay, well, how
190
00:16:34.039 --> 00:16:36.600
come how do you know it's my birthday? Then she
191
00:16:36.720 --> 00:16:41.480
said because your mom came around. I said really, I said, yeah,
192
00:16:41.960 --> 00:16:46.639
your mom turned up. I said, okay, where is she? No,
193
00:16:46.799 --> 00:16:52.039
she didn't stop. Okay, she didn't stop.
194
00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:52.960
She did.
195
00:16:53.000 --> 00:16:54.080
Why didn't you wake me up?
196
00:16:55.080 --> 00:16:55.240
Oh?
197
00:16:55.320 --> 00:16:59.559
She couldn't stop. Okay. So I said, okay, a lot
198
00:16:59.600 --> 00:17:04.559
back then, and I said all right, And she said
199
00:17:04.680 --> 00:17:07.160
then the lady said, well, she left you a present.
200
00:17:07.759 --> 00:17:11.400
I said, I know, really, and she gave it to me.
201
00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:13.640
It was a box of more teasers, like one of
202
00:17:13.640 --> 00:17:17.599
the bigger boxes. And I love not what I love
203
00:17:17.640 --> 00:17:22.960
more teasers still do. So oh and that was it.
204
00:17:23.240 --> 00:17:27.440
That was my birthday, and that's her first birthday. I
205
00:17:27.559 --> 00:17:34.400
remember having really known of what her birthday was. Now
206
00:17:37.559 --> 00:17:40.119
the next time I had a birthday, I couldn't tell you.
207
00:17:40.480 --> 00:17:41.960
I mean, I know it was a year later, but
208
00:17:42.960 --> 00:17:48.440
I couldn't tell you. I don't remember a specific celebration
209
00:17:48.920 --> 00:18:02.319
of any particular birthday year probably until I was eight,
210
00:18:02.960 --> 00:18:07.559
So I remember that birthday. So we'd been living we
211
00:18:07.799 --> 00:18:12.960
just moved into, not just moved in. But I haven't
212
00:18:12.960 --> 00:18:16.640
been long. We've been living in this house which was
213
00:18:16.680 --> 00:18:19.799
a new build on a council estate, which my nana
214
00:18:19.839 --> 00:18:24.759
Grande moved into as well. Once we moved out in
215
00:18:27.880 --> 00:18:33.599
I don't know, nineteen eighty eight or summer time. Yeah,
216
00:18:33.839 --> 00:18:36.359
just in time. Yeah, it's probably just in time for
217
00:18:36.400 --> 00:18:41.559
me to move into. We moved into a new house
218
00:18:41.599 --> 00:18:51.359
and I started a new school in September. So yeah,
219
00:18:51.359 --> 00:18:59.000
that's it. Yeah, that's right. So the day before my
220
00:18:59.160 --> 00:19:06.680
eighth birthday, the twenty fifth, which is today, I don't
221
00:19:06.680 --> 00:19:16.680
even know how many years ago, forty something, forty three, no,
222
00:19:17.599 --> 00:19:21.880
forty seven years ago. So my little brother is now
223
00:19:21.960 --> 00:19:27.880
forty seven, he's getting old and he so forty seven
224
00:19:27.960 --> 00:19:36.400
years ago today I was see in our house we
225
00:19:36.480 --> 00:19:40.000
had and I don't know why, and it's really it
226
00:19:40.079 --> 00:19:42.160
caused problems for my name as well. As she fell
227
00:19:42.240 --> 00:19:46.400
down these steps that I fell down, and they put
228
00:19:46.440 --> 00:19:48.599
a ramp up in the end, my dad and whatever.
229
00:19:50.319 --> 00:19:55.440
It was ridiculous, like these big steps and each step
230
00:19:55.559 --> 00:19:58.680
was pretty much as high up up to my knee
231
00:19:58.920 --> 00:20:00.720
when I was only two inches tall at the time,
232
00:20:00.759 --> 00:20:05.759
but still big steps to get into the back door.
233
00:20:08.759 --> 00:20:11.640
And it's I think it's because the house was kind
234
00:20:11.640 --> 00:20:14.880
of on a bit of a slope and the ground
235
00:20:14.920 --> 00:20:17.880
hadn't settled yet because it was on a new bit
236
00:20:17.960 --> 00:20:21.000
of land. Why not a new bit of land and
237
00:20:21.200 --> 00:20:24.960
land's probably been there for millions of years, But depending
238
00:20:25.000 --> 00:20:35.559
on which book you read. And I I fell downstairs
239
00:20:36.759 --> 00:20:41.160
that my stepmom was heavily pregnant. I mean, the fact
