8
00:00:53.600 --> 00:01:00.759
boring objects. Now, Vinnie's on the floor at the moment, chew.

9
00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:05.959
I've put some food out for him and he's not

10
00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:08.439
touched it because it's not the food that he likes.

11
00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:13.000
You could argue, well, would you eat food you didn't like?

12
00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:24.159
It's a fair enough argument, but he used to like it. Well,

13
00:01:24.200 --> 00:01:27.239
if you've never gone off food, you liked everything, you

14
00:01:27.319 --> 00:01:29.400
always liked every single food I've ever had, You're never

15
00:01:29.640 --> 00:01:32.280
eating something then got fed up with it? All right, okay,

16
00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:36.319
blind me calm down. Yeah, there have been things that

17
00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:44.680
I've overeaten. There was this biscuits once. Biscuits is going

18
00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:50.959
to be the subject today, by the way, biscuits. I'm

19
00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:53.159
I was gonna say I'm scraping a barrel, but I'm

20
00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:58.400
scrape I'm scraping the biscuit tin for this one. Biscuits?

21
00:01:58.840 --> 00:02:04.200
How can I talk for an hour about biscuits. If

22
00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:11.800
anyone can do it, I can do it. I suppose biscuits. Well,

23
00:02:11.879 --> 00:02:14.879
the memory I just had was I used to visit

24
00:02:14.919 --> 00:02:18.879
my men. This is when she was alive, and the

25
00:02:18.879 --> 00:02:23.280
best time to visit people, I find. And she had these,

26
00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:28.520
Oh man, they were so nice. They were because in

27
00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:33.439
the early days before she kind of lost her mobility,

28
00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:39.800
she used to be making cakes. Are such nice cakes,

29
00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:45.120
especially the rock cakes. All the bestest rock cakes I've

30
00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:51.159
ever had in my life, still to this day. And

31
00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:54.879
they were just perfect, even if, to be fair, even

32
00:02:54.919 --> 00:02:59.360
if they were sometimes a bit burnt, it didn't matter.

33
00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:04.599
They were just effect. There were my Nanny Newland's block cakes.

34
00:03:05.199 --> 00:03:08.319
They were just however they were. I want to say burn,

35
00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:10.080
you know, because sometimes if you leave them in the

36
00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:13.080
oven a little bit too long. We know what burn means.

37
00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:19.240
Am I going to have this? Are you going to

38
00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:30.000
be argumented in the whole recording? Maybe right? Vinnie started barking,

39
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:34.719
there was a dog in the distance, well somewhere. I mean,

40
00:03:34.759 --> 00:03:39.280
what is distance and what is close? Talk about distancing

41
00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:45.680
close and I was in the park earlier, and I

42
00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:49.400
thought I saw a couple of dopeman's running towards me

43
00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:56.080
off the lead. So I was like, oh, but I

44
00:03:56.120 --> 00:03:58.840
got it wrong because I didn't have my glasses on.

45
00:03:58.919 --> 00:04:01.479
I just forgot to take my asses with me. And

46
00:04:01.639 --> 00:04:03.360
I realized I looked down at which is a couple

47
00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:06.960
of chill I was chill I was was actually about

48
00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:13.080
two inches from my feet. They look exactly like they

49
00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:24.160
look the same as nobleman. Anyway, there's a few unfriendly

50
00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:30.680
dog walkers. There's like the friendly ones and then there's

51
00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:35.319
the ones that just almost don't want to interact, which

52
00:04:35.319 --> 00:04:38.920
is up to them, I know, but I've made the

53
00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:45.040
effort to be friendly if I can. Ah, I don't know.

54
00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:49.000
There's just some some dog walkers I like, they kind

55
00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:51.680
of pull the dog away from me, even I understand

56
00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:54.040
if it's a dangerous dog or you know, if it's

57
00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:56.160
a dangerous dogwise and not on a muzzle would beat

58
00:04:56.240 --> 00:05:01.560
my question. But h strange, the strange old world. The

59
00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:08.959
dog dogg in and so this dog, I don't know

60
00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:12.639
then he was he wasn't just barking, he was howling

61
00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:16.920
like a wolf. You know, his his his face looking

62
00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:22.920
up to the sky. Oh oh, which he doesn't do

63
00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:27.360
very often. So it was very much kind of a

64
00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:28.360
pack call.

65
00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:30.560
He was.

66
00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:33.319
It's definitely it was. There's something kind of communication going

67
00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:39.879
on there. I would say I had to shut him

68
00:05:39.959 --> 00:05:43.240
up because the neighbor downstairs is probably asleep, and I

69
00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:49.360
want to disturb in the neighbors, especially as tomorrow the

70
00:05:49.399 --> 00:05:57.600
building works begins. Bom bom, bom. Yeah. My neighbour opposite

71
00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:03.360
has his bathroom. It was bathroom is going to be rebuilt,

72
00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:12.399
so it's going to be noise noise, noise noise for

73
00:06:14.279 --> 00:06:17.040
it'll probably be full on for about a week while

74
00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:20.720
the rest of this week Tuesday to Friday, and then

75
00:06:23.480 --> 00:06:26.000
it will reduce a little bit after that. The first

76
00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:28.160
bit is I seem to dig up the concrete. I

77
00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:32.439
think digging up the bath is a proper like shakes

78
00:06:32.519 --> 00:06:35.360
the whole building. I'm not going to be able to

79
00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:42.279
make a recording when they're here, So I was thinking,

80
00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:50.560
maybe try and do the recordings today while it's relatively quiet.

81
00:06:51.959 --> 00:06:57.879
I mean, I was thinking, actually early on, I should

82
00:06:57.879 --> 00:07:02.000
make the most of it being quiet and relax. Maybe

83
00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:04.199
watch a couple of movies, you know, just have like

84
00:07:04.480 --> 00:07:12.399
a relaxing day where there's not noise, because guarantee what

85
00:07:12.600 --> 00:07:16.879
happens when there's noise in one flat, another neighbor would

86
00:07:16.920 --> 00:07:19.800
turn music on to cover up that noise for them,

87
00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:22.639
and then another neighbor would turn up to cover up

88
00:07:22.720 --> 00:07:26.000
the noise of that music, and before you know it,

89
00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:35.120
it's like noisy, really noisy, and it's yeah, it's just

90
00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:39.920
human nature to do that. I mean, the most I

91
00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:44.639
would do is I put my headphones on so I

92
00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:49.040
can kind of block out the noise with my headphones.

93
00:07:49.319 --> 00:07:51.519
But it limits me to what I can do. I mean,

94
00:07:51.560 --> 00:07:53.439
I could listen to music, or I could watch TV

95
00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:59.600
and stuff, watch a movie. I'll probably just take this

96
00:07:59.639 --> 00:08:03.240
one out for a few long longer. Wall really said

97
00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:08.040
the word longer journeys tomorrow in it, so I can

98
00:08:08.120 --> 00:08:14.439
Tuesday and Wednesday will be the Tuesday, Wednesday third, the next.

99
00:08:14.519 --> 00:08:17.480
The rest of this week will be the most amount

100
00:08:17.519 --> 00:08:23.480
of disruption orderitory wise. But then there's a lot of

101
00:08:23.519 --> 00:08:25.879
doors slamming there, coming and going, and you know, so

102
00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:31.519
that that agitates the old Vinst here, So I guess

103
00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:34.879
he'll be doing a bit of barking. So what I'll

104
00:08:34.879 --> 00:08:39.080
try and do is when they do get here. What

105
00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:41.879
I like to do. If there's builders coming into the building,

106
00:08:42.919 --> 00:08:45.679
I try and introduce Viny to them so then he

107
00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:49.039
knows who they are. Once he's met them, he doesn't

108
00:08:49.080 --> 00:08:52.440
seem so bothered. But if someone comes in and out

109
00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:55.200
of the building continuously and he hasn't seen them and

110
00:08:55.279 --> 00:08:57.720
he doesn't know who they are, it seems to irritate

111
00:08:57.799 --> 00:09:02.879
him a bit, don't it. What are you sniffing there for?

112
00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:07.519
There's nothing there? Trust me, well there is, but it's nothing,

113
00:09:07.759 --> 00:09:18.440
nothing interesting. Wow. Yeah, So my name got these biscuits.

114
00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:20.519
I can't eve remember what they were called, but there

115
00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:25.519
is super delicious. And she'd make a cup of tea,

116
00:09:28.799 --> 00:09:30.320
like you know, I want to go around. She'd make

117
00:09:30.360 --> 00:09:32.320
a cup of tea. Sometimes i'd do it for you know,

118
00:09:34.159 --> 00:09:37.200
especially when she lived in a sheld accommodation. I'd make

119
00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:41.919
a cup of tea for her. I remember saying, I

120
00:09:41.919 --> 00:09:43.720
remember the first time I made her a cup of tea.

121
00:09:44.480 --> 00:09:46.240
Which is going to sound weird, but I think the

122
00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:48.200
first time I ever made my name a cup of tea,

123
00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:53.559
I was in my forties. She always did it, you know,

124
00:09:54.159 --> 00:10:01.960
And I remember saying, how many sugars non six? Said

125
00:10:02.159 --> 00:10:08.360
six sugars of the tea, and being being British, being

126
00:10:08.440 --> 00:10:11.399
English or whatever I had, I had no choice but

127
00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:15.240
to say, oh, would you like some tea with your sugar?

128
00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:21.679
Because you know all English people say that, and we

129
00:10:21.759 --> 00:10:26.679
find it hilarious every time we say it. Yes, we do, Yes,

130
00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:33.759
we do vy yes. Starting another one is like when

131
00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:36.240
someone say f in hell, I won't say the actual

132
00:10:36.279 --> 00:10:39.440
word f in hell. And the comeback for that, being

133
00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:44.799
English is I hope so there's no TV there. It's

134
00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:49.080
what did I say? I heard radio DJA the other

135
00:10:49.159 --> 00:10:55.559
day moaning about pigeons. Now, if you follow me, you

136
00:10:55.639 --> 00:10:57.840
know that I'm a pigeon lover. Horace is one of

137
00:10:57.840 --> 00:11:00.679
my best friends. And here's a pigeon's been visiting me

138
00:11:00.759 --> 00:11:07.360
for ten years. It's weird. He looks younger now but

139
00:11:08.039 --> 00:11:11.639
and there's different color. But you know, Horace like I

140
00:11:11.759 --> 00:11:15.440
love pigeons. I always have done, even as a little

141
00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:21.480
kid going to Trafalgar Square. That was to this DJ.

142
00:11:21.759 --> 00:11:27.720
This radio presenter was moaning about pigeons and he lives

143
00:11:27.720 --> 00:11:31.480
in London and he was saying, it's so good now

144
00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:37.279
that they the government or the London mayor at the time,

145
00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:45.000
managed to get rid of those people selling I don't know,

146
00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:51.440
pigeons seed to the tourists in order to stop encouraging

147
00:11:51.440 --> 00:11:54.600
because I made it illegal to try and get rid

148
00:11:54.639 --> 00:12:00.320
of the pigeons from Trafalgar Square. What did they think

149
00:12:00.399 --> 00:12:07.240
Trafalgar Square was famous for around the world, those big statues?

150
00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:13.519
Maybe the pigeons. Yeah, as an experience, the statues don't

151
00:12:13.559 --> 00:12:18.360
do anything. They just stand there and yeah, they mean something.

152
00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:20.519
I don't know what they are, but they mean something

153
00:12:21.080 --> 00:12:26.559
to people that are into that stuff historically. I mean,

154
00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:35.440
is it's church. I don't even know what statues are

155
00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:39.000
in Trafalgar Square to be honest with you. I know

156
00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:41.720
there's a lion. There's a lion. Isn't there a big

157
00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:46.240
golden lion or silver lion or something like that? And

158
00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:51.360
I mean they are impressive, especially when you're a little kid, like, Wow,

159
00:12:51.440 --> 00:12:54.480
they're huge. How did they manage to fit them on

160
00:12:54.559 --> 00:12:58.399
their God, whoever lifted that must have been super strong.

161
00:12:58.879 --> 00:13:05.120
Perhaps it was super a man, that's what. Well, that's

162
00:13:05.159 --> 00:13:06.799
what my brothers were saying. I said, nope, it's a

163
00:13:06.799 --> 00:13:09.720
wonder Woman because I was obsessed with Wonder Woman backman,

164
00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:16.159
and I just you know, like actually what do people

165
00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:19.120
take pictures of You can't take picture of you. I

166
00:13:19.200 --> 00:13:24.320
suppose if you're if you're far enough away from the statue,

167
00:13:24.360 --> 00:13:26.039
you can get a picture of you with the statue

168
00:13:26.039 --> 00:13:29.000
in the background. I guess, like the Eiffel Tower and

169
00:13:29.039 --> 00:13:31.639
things like that, which is just up the road, I think,

170
00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:36.480
I think that's in Leicester Square. And but what do

171
00:13:36.519 --> 00:13:39.519
people go home with when they've been to Like what

172
00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:43.159
back in those days, in the seventies, an the eighties maybe,

173
00:13:43.639 --> 00:13:48.600
and probably decades before that, people took photographs of their

174
00:13:48.600 --> 00:13:53.200
holiday to London. There would be at least one photograph

175
00:13:53.200 --> 00:13:59.759
of them covered in pigeons. That's what Trevalger Square was

176
00:13:59.799 --> 00:14:04.879
fair as far the pigeons, they got rid of it.

177
00:14:04.879 --> 00:14:12.639
They got rid of the pigeons, and I can't seem

178
00:14:12.759 --> 00:14:15.440
to let it go. It's weird. I didn't realize it

179
00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:19.279
affected me so much. I love the pigeons. One of

180
00:14:19.360 --> 00:14:28.240
my happiest memories as a child was apart from being

181
00:14:28.279 --> 00:14:34.639
on a rough Harris show, which was kind of that's

182
00:14:34.679 --> 00:14:38.600
a whole different What are you doing, you're attacking me.

183
00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:43.559
I'm talking of Billy there, not Roal. Hey, it's the pit. Yeah,

184
00:14:43.600 --> 00:14:45.320
I was on a Rough Harry Show. That wasn't a

185
00:14:45.360 --> 00:14:47.919
joke because seriously, was on a Rough Harry Show when

186
00:14:47.960 --> 00:14:51.879
I was about ten, nine or ten, and it was

187
00:14:51.960 --> 00:14:56.720
one of the best days of my life, genuinely. And

188
00:14:56.799 --> 00:15:03.320
I would say there's thousands and thousands and thousands of

189
00:15:03.399 --> 00:15:06.480
other kids that would also say the same. Maybe not

190
00:15:06.519 --> 00:15:08.399
the best day of their life, but it was an

191
00:15:08.440 --> 00:15:13.879
amazing experience for most people that did it, because it

192
00:15:14.039 --> 00:15:18.320
was just I loved it. I got to see Keith

193
00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:23.639
Keith Harris with awful and cuddles, and I got to

194
00:15:23.679 --> 00:15:26.200
see Dollar, who were really big at the time as well.

195
00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:29.159
They were a group. I can't remember what song they sung.

196
00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:38.399
You can do something like that anyway. I've talked about

197
00:15:38.399 --> 00:15:41.120
that before, but that that is just you know. But

198
00:15:41.240 --> 00:15:45.200
one of the experiences I really enjoyed was it was

199
00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:47.720
in the children's home and it's a little period between

200
00:15:49.879 --> 00:15:52.240
moving in with my dad and his new wife, and

201
00:15:53.159 --> 00:15:56.559
so it was in South End. We're going to move in.

202
00:15:57.320 --> 00:15:58.679
I don't think we even knew we were going to

203
00:15:58.720 --> 00:16:03.279
move in, but we were visible in every weekend to

204
00:16:04.279 --> 00:16:05.799
I guess for them to get to know us and

205
00:16:05.879 --> 00:16:08.240
us to get to know them, and to see whether

206
00:16:08.360 --> 00:16:10.879
or not they wanted to. You know, it was a process.

207
00:16:10.919 --> 00:16:13.799
It wasn't just like here's your kids who haven't seen

208
00:16:13.840 --> 00:16:16.279
them for five years, take them. It was there was

209
00:16:16.279 --> 00:16:20.759
a process to it. And even then, this was like

210
00:16:20.840 --> 00:16:27.559
nineteen seventy seven. So we'd go every weekend and then

211
00:16:27.639 --> 00:16:37.080
one weekend our auntie picked us up and she said, oh,

212
00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:39.200
you're going to come and stare with me in London

213
00:16:39.799 --> 00:16:45.039
because the step mum's unwell, she's got I don't know

214
00:16:45.320 --> 00:16:49.480
measles or mumps or something like that. I said, what

215
00:16:49.519 --> 00:16:53.200
you're talking about Willis, which is weird because I've never

216
00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:55.879
seen different strokes at that point, because what hadn't been

217
00:16:55.919 --> 00:17:01.039
on didn't come on till last seventy nine. I'm wondering

218
00:17:01.039 --> 00:17:02.919
maybe they copied me because I used to say that

219
00:17:02.960 --> 00:17:06.279
all the time. We're talking about Williss, even when I

220
00:17:06.319 --> 00:17:12.720
was like five. I could be owed some money royalties

221
00:17:15.200 --> 00:17:18.119
And she said, my name is not Willis, called me Auntie.

222
00:17:19.279 --> 00:17:20.839
I said, I don't know if I've really known you

223
00:17:20.880 --> 00:17:23.880
long enough to call your auntie. How do I know

224
00:17:23.920 --> 00:17:27.880
you're really my auntie? You know you you just turn

225
00:17:28.000 --> 00:17:31.279
up out of the blue. I've met you a couple

226
00:17:31.319 --> 00:17:34.880
of times, submittedly, because you know, because there was that

227
00:17:34.920 --> 00:17:38.000
whole thing, you know, when we went around it was

228
00:17:38.079 --> 00:17:44.799
like I felt like I was in a zoo when

229
00:17:44.799 --> 00:17:47.519
we went to visit my dad, when he come and

230
00:17:47.519 --> 00:17:49.799
picked us up, took us back to where he lived

231
00:17:49.799 --> 00:17:53.200
with his wife and his wife's mum. They lived in

232
00:17:53.599 --> 00:17:58.039
her house, and all these people came along, like and

233
00:17:58.160 --> 00:18:02.240
his uncles and aunts and people I've never seen before.

234
00:18:02.640 --> 00:18:09.440
Like I'm your uncle. Really, I'm your uncle as well.

235
00:18:10.599 --> 00:18:18.200
Really I'm your auntie really, like you know, it's like

236
00:18:18.960 --> 00:18:22.839
I'm your uncle. Oh okay, and I will show your auntie.

237
00:18:23.440 --> 00:18:30.400
Really I'm your cousin, huh, Like like ten cousins, five

238
00:18:30.480 --> 00:18:35.119
uncles and aunt's ten cousins, nanny and granddad and another

239
00:18:35.240 --> 00:18:40.880
nanny like suit away too many people. So I didn't

240
00:18:40.880 --> 00:18:47.119
remember her. But that weekend was one of the best

241
00:18:47.160 --> 00:18:50.799
weekends ever. So she picked us up, took us to London.

242
00:18:52.759 --> 00:18:56.599
London's not far from the South End. It seemed a

243
00:18:56.599 --> 00:18:59.160
long way when you were a little kid to be

244
00:18:59.400 --> 00:19:01.039
I don't even know if we was in a car.

245
00:19:01.200 --> 00:19:04.000
She might just might have gone on a train because

246
00:19:04.000 --> 00:19:08.480
there was a train directly to Liverpool Street from South End. Victoria.

247
00:19:10.759 --> 00:19:15.680
I made the journey many times as an adult. Yeah,

248
00:19:15.720 --> 00:19:20.920
I used to. I used to visit South End. South

249
00:19:21.000 --> 00:19:22.759
End used to be a place that I would go

250
00:19:22.839 --> 00:19:29.079
to when I fenceed a day out, like a kind

251
00:19:29.119 --> 00:19:36.960
of I think I took. Yeah, I took two different

252
00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:40.960
girlfriends there, or I went on two different dates maybe

253
00:19:41.039 --> 00:19:44.680
more to South End when I was living in London,

254
00:19:45.599 --> 00:19:48.319
and just like, let's go for a walk. Let's let's

255
00:19:48.319 --> 00:19:51.599
go for a walk. Let's go to South End, get

256
00:19:51.640 --> 00:19:54.079
on a train. It's like forty five minutes or whatever

257
00:19:54.160 --> 00:19:58.000
on a train, maybe an hour, I don't know, and

258
00:19:58.200 --> 00:20:02.000
then would be there South End Beach, have a nice

259
00:20:02.039 --> 00:20:05.119
walk and go on to the pier. That's a that's

260
00:20:05.160 --> 00:20:07.839
a journey in itself, just to walk up along the pier.

261
00:20:09.240 --> 00:20:14.400
Candy floss, fish and chips. Maybe not candy flop, well

262
00:20:14.440 --> 00:20:22.720
I suppose they did have candy floss, ice creams. Just

263
00:20:22.839 --> 00:20:25.000
what anything you want really is just like anywhere else.

264
00:20:26.759 --> 00:20:31.319
And it was a nice day out. It wasn't far away,

265
00:20:31.799 --> 00:20:36.640
but it was totally different from being in London, you know,

266
00:20:36.799 --> 00:20:39.799
being near the sea. I mean, South End is not

267
00:20:39.880 --> 00:20:45.400
the nearest sea if you're in London. I think there's

268
00:20:45.599 --> 00:20:49.359
closer sea. I think Harriage is closer. I'm not sure,

269
00:20:50.039 --> 00:20:53.240
but you've got bill A Ricky. I don't know if

270
00:20:53.279 --> 00:20:56.240
that's the Isle of Dogs. I suppose there's a sea there.

271
00:20:56.400 --> 00:21:02.799
Maybe I wonder whether as a sea when you've got

272
00:21:02.799 --> 00:21:19.599
the Thames which leads to the sea mm hmmm from it. Yeah,

273
00:21:19.920 --> 00:21:23.319
I don't know. So we Yeah, the South Ender's where

274
00:21:23.319 --> 00:21:28.880
I used to go, but to this day in London,

275
00:21:28.920 --> 00:21:34.240
it was lovely, lovely, lovely, she remembered. Went to South

276
00:21:34.400 --> 00:21:43.319
End with a Spanish female that I met. Was it

277
00:21:43.519 --> 00:21:51.119
uh Strafford? Strafford train station? I saw her and I

278
00:21:51.160 --> 00:21:54.599
thought I'd like to talk to us, so I went

279
00:21:54.680 --> 00:21:57.799
up to her. I just say, excuse me, sorry, could

280
00:21:57.799 --> 00:22:02.240
you tell me you did me? And I asked you

281
00:22:02.240 --> 00:22:06.759
a question that I knew the answer to because I

282
00:22:06.759 --> 00:22:08.880
just wanted to talk to her, and I ended up

283
00:22:09.079 --> 00:22:12.880
She gave me a telephone number, a name, and her address.

284
00:22:12.920 --> 00:22:16.000
She wrote it down on the pieces of paper. What

285
00:22:16.119 --> 00:22:20.400
did you have it already written down? Was just randomly

286
00:22:20.440 --> 00:22:25.160
giving it out to men? Possibly anyway? So we went out.

287
00:22:25.279 --> 00:22:27.799
We talked on the phone a few days in a row,

288
00:22:29.000 --> 00:22:33.440
and then I kind of fell for her really she

289
00:22:33.559 --> 00:22:35.559
was just I just like really liked her a lot.

290
00:22:36.559 --> 00:22:41.720
And we went out to South End for the day

291
00:22:44.000 --> 00:22:46.039
and there was a couple of Because you know when

292
00:22:46.079 --> 00:22:49.400
you're when you were abroad, you can hear your own

293
00:22:49.480 --> 00:22:54.160
language being spoken knya, Like it's just one of those things.

294
00:22:55.119 --> 00:23:00.440
I remember when I was in Belgium. There was we

295
00:23:00.480 --> 00:23:04.599
were walking down the street in Belgium and I was

296
00:23:04.640 --> 00:23:07.480
with like three or four people from work. This is

297
00:23:07.480 --> 00:23:11.240
when I was about eighteen, and we were walking down

298
00:23:11.240 --> 00:23:17.400
this busy road and suddenly one of my work colleagues shouted.

299
00:23:17.039 --> 00:23:25.200
Out, English, you're English over this crowd and the other

300
00:23:25.599 --> 00:23:29.559
there was another little group of men and English.

301
00:23:29.640 --> 00:23:34.359
Your English got so excited to meet another English but

302
00:23:34.559 --> 00:23:40.240
speaking person. I mean we'd only been there for about

303
00:23:40.319 --> 00:23:44.880
ten minutes, and how much can you miss the fact

304
00:23:44.920 --> 00:23:49.079
that he was with four other people that also spoke English.

305
00:23:49.200 --> 00:23:53.279
Why would he miss being around English speaking people so much?

306
00:23:55.960 --> 00:23:59.519
I didn't understand it. I couldn't really get it. But

307
00:23:59.559 --> 00:24:02.720
it was because they were jumping up and down, hugging

308
00:24:02.720 --> 00:24:03.119
each other.

309
00:24:04.319 --> 00:24:04.759
It was.

310
00:24:06.200 --> 00:24:15.039
Very erotic, it was. It was kind of strange. So anyway,

311
00:24:15.200 --> 00:24:19.240
I was, yeah, we were walking me in this what

312
00:24:19.279 --> 00:24:28.880
was her name, Martyr, Moditor, Moditor. We're walking down the Yeah,

313
00:24:28.920 --> 00:24:39.440
we walked on the pier and suddenly she noticed a

314
00:24:39.440 --> 00:24:45.480
couple of Spanish men and they noticed her and they

315
00:24:45.519 --> 00:24:49.240
started talking in But I couldn't really understand what they

316
00:24:49.240 --> 00:24:51.720
were saying in some kind of language, different language to English.

317
00:24:52.799 --> 00:24:59.400
And even though it's in a different language, I can,

318
00:24:59.759 --> 00:25:03.480
I could. I knew what they were saying. It was weird.

319
00:25:05.359 --> 00:25:07.440
And I asked her and she told me, she said, yeah,

320
00:25:07.440 --> 00:25:12.079
I was right. So what I could see and there

321
00:25:12.200 --> 00:25:15.759
was you know, they were not speaking English. They were

322
00:25:15.799 --> 00:25:21.039
basically mocking me. And they said, I was at your

323
00:25:21.039 --> 00:25:29.119
boyfriend and she said no, but it wasn't no, no

324
00:25:29.440 --> 00:25:32.200
like that. Yeah, bearing in mind that we kind of

325
00:25:32.240 --> 00:25:39.359
were dating ish kind of, and I knew, even in

326
00:25:39.400 --> 00:25:45.119
another language, it's the same energy, it's the same looks,

327
00:25:45.240 --> 00:25:49.599
it's the same it was the same tone of voice.

328
00:25:51.640 --> 00:26:02.240
And yeah, it was a bit awkward after that. Yeah,

329
00:26:02.359 --> 00:26:04.039
I've don't know if that was before or after I

330
00:26:04.160 --> 00:26:08.160
visited her at her home because she invited me around. Yeah,

331
00:26:08.160 --> 00:26:10.519
I think it was. It was before she invited me

332
00:26:10.559 --> 00:26:15.119
around to her place because she was a nanny or

333
00:26:15.759 --> 00:26:20.359
her all pair air pair she had. She was an

334
00:26:20.359 --> 00:26:28.200
no pair and she was nineteen I was, what twenty three,

335
00:26:28.440 --> 00:26:32.400
and she had dark where She's Spanish and so she

336
00:26:32.440 --> 00:26:38.119
had dark hair and brown eyes. But I'm guessing the

337
00:26:38.119 --> 00:26:40.880
majority of people in Spain have probably got dark hair

338
00:26:40.920 --> 00:26:44.319
and brown eyes, because that's the Spanish look, isn't it.

339
00:26:46.200 --> 00:26:47.680
Did you know that most people in the world have

340
00:26:47.720 --> 00:26:53.599
got brown eyes? Blue eyes is an anomaly? Did you

341
00:26:53.640 --> 00:26:57.319
know that? I just thought that blue eyes because I

342
00:26:57.359 --> 00:27:00.920
got blue eyes. I just thought it's just most people

343
00:27:00.920 --> 00:27:05.039
would have blue eyes, but they haven't. Apparently apparently not

344
00:27:05.160 --> 00:27:14.880
everyone looks like me. I don't understand. So she's yeah,

345
00:27:14.960 --> 00:27:18.960
I really liked her. I really fancied her, But I

346
00:27:19.000 --> 00:27:21.000
really liked her. I did get on really I got

347
00:27:21.039 --> 00:27:23.839
on well with her on the phone, even though there

348
00:27:23.960 --> 00:27:30.799
was communication in English was really good, but my Spanish

349
00:27:30.960 --> 00:27:41.920
was zero. She taught me a few words see signor

350
00:27:46.000 --> 00:27:48.240
a cappella. I think that's Spanish, isn't it?

351
00:27:53.039 --> 00:27:53.359
Was it?

352
00:27:55.319 --> 00:28:02.880
Yeah? Yeah, Elle? If you say L before you any sentence,

353
00:28:02.920 --> 00:28:08.839
I think that helps L Hello, no, not l honcho?

354
00:28:09.519 --> 00:28:14.440
No Hello? What's the oh? I know the word for

355
00:28:14.519 --> 00:28:32.519
hello in Spain? Hello, Hello, Hello, Madora he I don't know.

356
00:28:34.640 --> 00:28:38.240
I've never been great with languages. I did, I neede.

357
00:28:38.759 --> 00:28:43.640
I learned a few words in Thai. I learned a

358
00:28:43.799 --> 00:28:51.359
few words in Bulgaria, but that was just because I

359
00:28:51.400 --> 00:28:57.759
was talking to females at the time that I wanted to.

360
00:28:59.200 --> 00:29:03.200
I guess community I found at very early age. Probably

361
00:29:03.279 --> 00:29:11.160
it was probably with the Spanish lady that sometimes having

362
00:29:11.160 --> 00:29:21.640
a different language can be useful for communication or useful

363
00:29:21.720 --> 00:29:25.119
for like the beginning of a relationship, because learning each

364
00:29:25.119 --> 00:29:30.119
other's words. And I also figured out after years and

365
00:29:30.160 --> 00:29:32.240
years and years, the reason I got on so well

366
00:29:32.279 --> 00:29:35.240
with foreign women is because it took them longer to

367
00:29:35.319 --> 00:29:40.279
realize what I was really like. They thought I was

368
00:29:40.400 --> 00:29:42.880
nice for much longer than people that have met me

369
00:29:43.000 --> 00:29:46.119
that knew what I was saying. Once I realized what

370
00:29:46.160 --> 00:29:48.480
I was saying, they didn't necessarily like me so much.

371
00:29:49.759 --> 00:29:58.480
I'm joking kind of. I did upset someone in Thailand,

372
00:29:59.480 --> 00:30:02.880
a waitress, didn't mean to, genuinely did not mean to.

373
00:30:05.279 --> 00:30:11.960
It turned out I was trying to communicate with her, well,

374
00:30:11.960 --> 00:30:16.759
she was trying to communicate with me, and I was

375
00:30:16.799 --> 00:30:21.799
getting it wrong. So there was all these posters around

376
00:30:22.720 --> 00:30:28.400
for this, like some kind of swim where a bikini

377
00:30:29.680 --> 00:30:35.599
beauty contest, a bikini pageant. There was posters all over

378
00:30:35.640 --> 00:30:37.279
this place. It was just a bar. It was like

379
00:30:37.319 --> 00:30:43.480
a normal bar restaurant, so Hooters, but it was still

380
00:30:43.640 --> 00:30:48.960
you know, they have food and stuff and I like it.

381
00:30:49.000 --> 00:30:51.960
I've never been I've never been into I like American

382
00:30:52.039 --> 00:30:55.200
bars and that. It was just like an opportunity to

383
00:30:55.279 --> 00:31:02.119
go there every day. And there wasn't anything weird. It's

384
00:31:02.160 --> 00:31:06.319
just a normal you know. It was a family place.

385
00:31:06.359 --> 00:31:08.920
You could take your kids and stuff. I didn't have

386
00:31:08.920 --> 00:31:13.880
any kids to take, but if I had, I wouldn't wouldn't. Yeah,

387
00:31:14.000 --> 00:31:17.400
I mean, it's not holidays if you've got kids with you.

388
00:31:20.400 --> 00:31:23.680
How is that a holiday? A holiday is when the

389
00:31:23.759 --> 00:31:27.880
kids are the other side of the world. Surely maybe not.

390
00:31:28.319 --> 00:31:33.319
Maybe I've got it wrong. I used to know someone

391
00:31:33.400 --> 00:31:37.319
and said, if the idea of that, it's not a

392
00:31:37.359 --> 00:31:41.119
decent holiday, if it's not a proper holiday, if when

393
00:31:41.160 --> 00:31:48.720
you get home, it's only a proper holiday if you

394
00:31:48.759 --> 00:31:51.119
get home and you need a holiday. So if you

395
00:31:51.160 --> 00:31:55.200
completely exhaust yourself, then it's a proper holiday. You've had.

396
00:31:55.319 --> 00:31:59.920
It's like, No, that's the opposite to what I'm thinking of,

397
00:32:01.160 --> 00:32:06.680
you know, because you like to go skiing and windsurfing

398
00:32:06.839 --> 00:32:15.119
and probably mounting climbing and pothole in and deep sea

399
00:32:15.319 --> 00:32:26.119
dive in, swimming with sharks, you know, all the things

400
00:32:26.160 --> 00:32:29.519
that I wouldn't want to do. And it's got nothing

401
00:32:29.559 --> 00:32:31.640
to do with lack of fitness, because you know, I'm

402
00:32:31.680 --> 00:32:36.519
not as fit as I used to be. It's I

403
00:32:36.519 --> 00:32:41.079
don't think. I think my mounting mountain climbing days are

404
00:32:41.119 --> 00:32:45.480
possibly behind me, but they were never in front of

405
00:32:45.519 --> 00:32:49.319
me either. I've never wanted to jump out of a plane.

406
00:32:49.599 --> 00:32:52.799
I've never wanted to go down a pothole and start

407
00:32:52.920 --> 00:32:56.039
Not a pothole, is it potholing? I didn't want to

408
00:32:56.079 --> 00:33:00.160
go down like find a crack in the earth and

409
00:33:00.240 --> 00:33:06.000
let's see where this leads. No, no, it's like, no,

410
00:33:06.160 --> 00:33:12.359
that's just I'm not not not interested in that. You know, Oh,

411
00:33:12.599 --> 00:33:18.400
let's go down to the bottom of the ocean. No. No,

412
00:33:18.480 --> 00:33:23.079
I never never wanted to do that. That's that's a

413
00:33:23.119 --> 00:33:26.799
that's a deal breaker. I used to be in love

414
00:33:26.839 --> 00:33:34.880
with this this female that really really really liked her

415
00:33:34.880 --> 00:33:37.519
a lot. She didn't really know I existed, but she

416
00:33:37.640 --> 00:33:41.400
I really liked her, and I got talking to her.

417
00:33:41.559 --> 00:33:44.359
I finally got managed to build up the courage to

418
00:33:44.440 --> 00:33:48.640
say alone. And this is when I was a prison

419
00:33:48.680 --> 00:33:53.119
guard in at women's prison. So eventually, you know, this

420
00:33:53.279 --> 00:33:57.759
is so I don't know, I've got talking. I think

421
00:33:57.759 --> 00:34:01.079
it's like what you're doing, you're right, she said, Oh,

422
00:34:01.200 --> 00:34:02.880
I think I said to see you next week, old woman.

423
00:34:02.920 --> 00:34:07.880
Holiday next week? Okay. Normally, if someone told me they're

424
00:34:07.880 --> 00:34:10.880
on holiday next week, I I, oh, why are you

425
00:34:10.960 --> 00:34:15.400
telling me? What use is that information? How am I

426
00:34:15.440 --> 00:34:17.880
gonna How is that going to benefit me knowing you're

427
00:34:17.880 --> 00:34:21.159
on holiday next week? Which could be a bit attitudinal.

428
00:34:21.440 --> 00:34:24.000
I've gotta work on that. Maybe when I was younger,

429
00:34:24.039 --> 00:34:26.320
that is, you know, that's when I was like five

430
00:34:26.400 --> 00:34:30.599
or six, stinking thinking I did when I was five

431
00:34:30.679 --> 00:34:40.480
or six, just like, yeah, Christmas, Look Jason, look where

432
00:34:40.480 --> 00:34:44.960
your brother's bought me for Christmas. It's a it's uh

433
00:34:45.239 --> 00:34:48.239
like I never heard the end of the rest of

434
00:34:48.239 --> 00:34:51.159
it because I switched off. It's like, why do I

435
00:34:51.239 --> 00:34:55.679
care what is brought for you for Christmas? I don't

436
00:34:55.719 --> 00:34:57.599
even care what I bought you. I don't care about

437
00:34:57.639 --> 00:34:59.719
what I bought you for Christmas. I am only interesting

438
00:34:59.760 --> 00:35:05.320
what I get for Christmas. Christmas is about receiving, not giving,

439
00:35:07.159 --> 00:35:12.280
and any kid that says the opposite is lying. It's

440
00:35:12.280 --> 00:35:18.239
about receiving presents. How many kids do you think go

441
00:35:18.320 --> 00:35:22.360
to sleep Christmas Eve and they can't get like, ma,

442
00:35:22.800 --> 00:35:25.119
I can't get to sleep, I can't get to sleep,

443
00:35:25.119 --> 00:35:28.519
and their parents going, what is it? Little JJ, I

444
00:35:28.559 --> 00:35:31.719
can't get to sleep? Daddy and mama, Dad and mama?

445
00:35:32.320 --> 00:35:35.000
Why is it? Why can't you get to sleep? Is

446
00:35:35.039 --> 00:35:37.599
it because Father Christmas? And yeah? Is it because of

447
00:35:37.679 --> 00:35:41.840
Christmas morning tomorrow? Yeah? He said, Well, what is it

448
00:35:41.880 --> 00:35:45.599
that's keeping you awake? He said, I just can't. I can't.

449
00:35:45.960 --> 00:35:49.960
I can't sleep because I'm so worried and excited about

450
00:35:50.280 --> 00:35:52.519
whether or not you'll like the presence I bought you

451
00:35:52.880 --> 00:36:00.199
for Christmas. That conversation has never happened, not once. I

452
00:36:00.280 --> 00:36:04.000
guarantee you that. But I'm just, I just I just

453
00:36:04.039 --> 00:36:09.639
want you to be happy. Any kid cares. What they

454
00:36:09.679 --> 00:36:12.559
want is to be happy. My right my big tom

455
00:36:12.639 --> 00:36:16.360
or right foot just seesed up. Thankfully, I don't need

456
00:36:16.400 --> 00:36:19.719
to use it very often, so it's okay. Oh that

457
00:36:19.840 --> 00:36:24.559
was weird. I stretched. It doesn't normally get any stir

458
00:36:24.719 --> 00:36:28.480
wretching I'm only joking, by the way. When they'd say things,

459
00:36:30.559 --> 00:36:37.519
it wasn't really did really like get stiff. I got

460
00:36:38.360 --> 00:36:41.360
one of my legs seizes up sometimes the calf muscle,

461
00:36:42.239 --> 00:36:47.159
and it changes my mood. I was on a date

462
00:36:47.199 --> 00:36:51.000
with someone and I was in here and it was

463
00:36:51.039 --> 00:36:55.440
going quite well. Well, she hadn't left, so I always

464
00:36:55.480 --> 00:37:03.280
take that as a positive sign. And I've been sitting down.

465
00:37:03.320 --> 00:37:05.519
So I just stood up and stretched my legs. I

466
00:37:05.719 --> 00:37:07.960
just I don't know, you know, we kind of probably

467
00:37:08.320 --> 00:37:13.760
got onto my toes and my left calf crempt up,

468
00:37:15.840 --> 00:37:20.199
and she was like, are you okay? Like girlfrey, I

469
00:37:20.239 --> 00:37:25.119
wasn't quite that bad, but it was like, oh, that

470
00:37:25.519 --> 00:37:30.679
was not pleasant. She said, draw into message and said no,

471
00:37:31.719 --> 00:37:34.760
and she did. I said, oh okay, so that helped.

472
00:37:35.840 --> 00:37:39.239
She says that bet I said yeah, and I said,

473
00:37:39.239 --> 00:37:42.039
I just got to go and get something like, ohh,

474
00:37:42.199 --> 00:37:45.960
I've cramped up again. What your calf are going? No,

475
00:37:46.039 --> 00:37:55.159
it's me grhyin No, I made that up. So the pigeons,

476
00:37:55.760 --> 00:37:58.000
I just like the pigeons. What's this got to do

477
00:37:58.039 --> 00:38:06.119
for biscuits? I've got to talk biscuits. But I can't

478
00:38:06.280 --> 00:38:11.239
even remember where I was going with that. I don't

479
00:38:11.239 --> 00:38:18.360
know if I was going anywhere, really, but I remember her.

480
00:38:18.440 --> 00:38:27.480
She was nice. I was what ninety four time? She

481
00:38:27.639 --> 00:38:34.039
was so lovely. I forgot I had a girlfriend. No,

482
00:38:34.760 --> 00:38:46.360
I didn't forget, so I I yeah, biscuits. These biscuits

483
00:38:46.360 --> 00:38:49.159
at my nan had. They were lovely and I'd have

484
00:38:49.239 --> 00:38:52.440
them every single time I visited her. I can't remember

485
00:38:52.440 --> 00:38:55.119
the name of them, but they're really nice. They're nice

486
00:38:55.239 --> 00:38:59.440
with all without tea. I mean, you can dip them

487
00:39:00.519 --> 00:39:06.360
or not dip them. Never double dip. One dips enough

488
00:39:07.840 --> 00:39:14.320
otherwise it would break. And I don't know what it is.

489
00:39:14.440 --> 00:39:18.079
Once Once a biscuit's broken into the tea, I mean

490
00:39:18.159 --> 00:39:22.039
some some do float on the top, but some don't.

491
00:39:22.119 --> 00:39:25.920
Some will just sink down to the bottom. And it's

492
00:39:25.920 --> 00:39:31.480
almost I feel like the tea is contaminated. I don't

493
00:39:31.480 --> 00:39:37.440
want to drink the tea anymore unless I get spoon

494
00:39:37.480 --> 00:39:41.079
and I get the biscuit out. But the weird thing

495
00:39:41.119 --> 00:39:43.519
about it, even though I feel like the tea is contaminated,

496
00:39:43.800 --> 00:39:45.880
I don't want to drink the tea when you get

497
00:39:45.880 --> 00:39:47.719
the biscuit out of spoon, I want to eat the

498
00:39:47.719 --> 00:39:52.719
biscuit It's weird, isn't it. It's like I don't want

499
00:39:52.719 --> 00:39:55.760
to drink that water from that from that river because

500
00:39:55.760 --> 00:39:59.559
it's waste at the bottom, and then getting the waste

501
00:39:59.599 --> 00:40:09.159
out and just munching on it. No, weird, weird. Other biscuits.

502
00:40:09.360 --> 00:40:13.800
I think my favorite biscuits are probably plain old digestives

503
00:40:15.920 --> 00:40:25.840
Mcvitti's digestives and I like rich tea as well. They're

504
00:40:25.880 --> 00:40:29.239
the two best biscuits for dipping into tea. I think,

505
00:40:30.440 --> 00:40:37.239
in my opinion, the thing is you've got to really,

506
00:40:37.599 --> 00:40:40.079
I mean, that's why we're trained in I don't know.

507
00:40:40.199 --> 00:40:41.960
If you're not in England, you might not know this,

508
00:40:42.119 --> 00:40:46.519
but in England we actually have classes at school for

509
00:40:47.119 --> 00:40:52.320
biscuit dipping and it's called biscuit dipping. That's just the class.

510
00:40:52.360 --> 00:40:56.119
It's called biscuit dipping. What you're doing where you've got

511
00:40:56.119 --> 00:41:00.880
to go? I've got maths? Oh where you biscuit? Okay,

512
00:41:01.239 --> 00:41:04.800
just give you an example. And you might think you

513
00:41:04.880 --> 00:41:06.599
might be in a country. So what do you mean maths?

514
00:41:07.400 --> 00:41:10.679
Don't you need math? No maths, that's the correct way.

515
00:41:11.199 --> 00:41:19.639
It's not mathematic. It's mathematics. Maths is short for mathematics,

516
00:41:20.800 --> 00:41:25.920
not mathematic there's no such thing as mathematic. It's mathematics.

517
00:41:27.280 --> 00:41:29.559
I'm just you know. It's all about helping, isn't it.

518
00:41:30.400 --> 00:41:37.480
And so we have these classes at schools in every

519
00:41:37.559 --> 00:41:41.239
year right away from like infant school all the way

520
00:41:41.320 --> 00:41:44.199
up to high school. By the time you get to

521
00:41:44.239 --> 00:41:47.639
leave school at sixteen maybe eighteen, dependent on when you leave,

522
00:41:48.639 --> 00:41:54.599
you almost become a master of biscuit dipping. It's not

523
00:41:54.679 --> 00:41:57.400
just tea. You have to learn coffee. The problem of

524
00:41:57.400 --> 00:42:00.599
coffee is it tends to hold the heat a little

525
00:42:00.639 --> 00:42:07.079
bit longer unless you put lots of milk in. Tea

526
00:42:07.239 --> 00:42:09.719
tends to calm down. We become experts on tea and

527
00:42:09.760 --> 00:42:13.400
coffee as well, the temperatures, how to make a cup

528
00:42:13.440 --> 00:42:19.639
of tea. See, the problem is, though, there's a little

529
00:42:19.639 --> 00:42:24.079
bit it's become a little bit like a religion tea

530
00:42:24.119 --> 00:42:28.599
making in this country. So you know, you've got kind

531
00:42:28.639 --> 00:42:35.880
of the Catholics, the Protestants, the different Anglo Anglican churches

532
00:42:35.920 --> 00:42:40.119
and different kinds of Christianity ish stuff. It's a little

533
00:42:40.119 --> 00:42:45.480
bit like that with tea making. So there's people that

534
00:42:47.639 --> 00:42:53.440
put the milk in before the water, before the hot water,

535
00:42:54.519 --> 00:42:58.480
and those people put the milk in after the hot water.

536
00:42:59.280 --> 00:43:03.400
So it's very much a controversial thing. Once a year

537
00:43:03.440 --> 00:43:06.679
people have go on rallies so they they will dress

538
00:43:06.760 --> 00:43:15.719
up as biscuits. It's just very, very very strange.

539
00:43:12.119 --> 00:43:12.199
And.

540
00:43:14.199 --> 00:43:17.440
For some reason they decided to take the rich tea

541
00:43:17.719 --> 00:43:21.840
and digestive. They're kind of taking those two even though

542
00:43:21.840 --> 00:43:27.800
it's not really about biscuits, not really, but you know,

543
00:43:27.840 --> 00:43:31.079
they've kind of taken on because milk they have the

544
00:43:31.079 --> 00:43:35.760
white like the the what's it called the rich tea

545
00:43:35.800 --> 00:43:39.599
because they're kind of much paler than a digestive biscuit.

546
00:43:40.239 --> 00:43:44.320
So they're the ones that light the milk in first.

547
00:43:45.599 --> 00:43:48.559
Digestives are now classes the ones that light the milk

548
00:43:48.599 --> 00:43:53.400
in afterwards. So I'm a digestive because you know, you

549
00:43:53.519 --> 00:43:56.519
put the water in for me. They put the water

550
00:43:56.559 --> 00:44:01.440
in with a tea bag and then add the milk.

551
00:44:02.199 --> 00:44:08.320
So it's just some people, do you know you can't

552
00:44:08.360 --> 00:44:10.760
put the milk in first because the hot water school

553
00:44:10.960 --> 00:44:15.880
is the milk. I've never heard milk scream once. Oh

554
00:44:17.039 --> 00:44:20.360
it's never, So I don't know where they come up

555
00:44:20.360 --> 00:44:24.880
with that stuff. I don't even know would people even

556
00:44:25.000 --> 00:44:28.079
notice if you did a blind test and you gave

557
00:44:28.119 --> 00:44:31.280
someone a cup of tea, because I've made cups of

558
00:44:31.280 --> 00:44:34.000
two people and I've never once had them say, wait

559
00:44:34.039 --> 00:44:37.880
a minute, did you put the milk in first or

560
00:44:38.440 --> 00:44:43.119
the opposite? You know, Plus, I like to do whatever

561
00:44:44.639 --> 00:44:46.800
they I like to do the opposite to what people say.

562
00:44:46.920 --> 00:44:49.760
When I was younger, not now, but when I was younger.

563
00:44:49.800 --> 00:44:54.159
So someone said, oh, make sure you put the milk

564
00:44:54.159 --> 00:44:56.880
in before the tea bag and the hot water. I

565
00:44:56.920 --> 00:45:00.000
would do the opposite, and they never knew they could

566
00:45:00.119 --> 00:45:06.119
tell the difference, so I just there was one time,

567
00:45:06.199 --> 00:45:08.880
though I did it, I gave them the wrong cup,

568
00:45:09.079 --> 00:45:10.679
so I ended up with the one with the milk

569
00:45:10.760 --> 00:45:13.320
in before the tea bag. It was disgusting. I was

570
00:45:13.400 --> 00:45:19.639
so angry, and I didn't know the time, but once

571
00:45:19.679 --> 00:45:24.199
I realized it tasted the same at the time, but

572
00:45:24.280 --> 00:45:27.599
once I realized it tasted horrible. It was a week later.

573
00:45:30.960 --> 00:45:40.039
Dear Jason, these are boring mondays. I used to like

574
00:45:40.119 --> 00:45:43.639
them because you'd focus on a subject, but it seemed

575
00:45:43.639 --> 00:45:47.360
to have lost your way a little bit. The recent

576
00:45:47.440 --> 00:45:53.199
one where you talked about biscuits and scorched milk and

577
00:45:55.159 --> 00:46:06.679
a Spanish girlfriend and teammaking classes. Biscuit dip in. It's

578
00:46:06.840 --> 00:46:12.519
just just go gone in a weird direction. Please, can

579
00:46:12.559 --> 00:46:18.800
you talk about tires next week? It's okay, I don't know.

580
00:46:23.400 --> 00:46:27.960
I'm still not an expert, though A biscuit dip in

581
00:46:29.719 --> 00:46:40.760
occasionally if I'm distracted. Okay, So let's remember there was, Yeah,

582
00:46:41.039 --> 00:46:44.920
I had this part time job. No I was. I

583
00:46:44.960 --> 00:46:51.119
was in a bank and I was I think I

584
00:46:51.159 --> 00:46:52.960
was trying to get a loan or something, and they

585
00:46:53.000 --> 00:46:55.960
gave me a cup of tea and at biscuit I

586
00:46:55.960 --> 00:46:58.559
couldn't believe it was this is good. So I'm there

587
00:46:58.960 --> 00:47:02.800
at one of those tables opposite the bank. Wasn't the

588
00:47:02.800 --> 00:47:05.119
bank manager, but someone that worked in the bank, and

589
00:47:05.159 --> 00:47:07.239
then there was the big counter over the other side,

590
00:47:07.280 --> 00:47:10.599
and there's a few other tables dotted around. So I'm

591
00:47:10.599 --> 00:47:16.519
just having a cup of tea and the bank gets robbed.

592
00:47:16.639 --> 00:47:19.079
So these bank robbers come in and shouting and stuff.

593
00:47:22.000 --> 00:47:26.159
So that distracted me because I was trying to dip

594
00:47:26.239 --> 00:47:29.079
my biscuit in, but I left it in too far,

595
00:47:29.320 --> 00:47:35.679
too too long, and it broke. Now that nearly ruined

596
00:47:35.679 --> 00:47:42.599
my day. And all I remember is them shouting, get

597
00:47:42.599 --> 00:47:44.960
down on the floor, get down on the floor, don't

598
00:47:45.000 --> 00:47:50.679
look at us, don't stop stop dunking your biscuit and

599
00:47:50.719 --> 00:47:51.159
your tea.

600
00:47:52.199 --> 00:47:52.599
It's like.

601
00:47:55.280 --> 00:47:58.800
What else am I supposed to do? Because as an

602
00:47:58.880 --> 00:48:05.519
english person, there's there's a saying in England, once you

603
00:48:05.760 --> 00:48:11.920
start dipping that that's it. So once you start to

604
00:48:11.960 --> 00:48:16.840
dip a biscuit in your tea, that's what you're going

605
00:48:16.920 --> 00:48:23.159
to do. Because the whole process starts with the thought

606
00:48:23.840 --> 00:48:28.880
of dipping the biscuit in the cup of tea. It's

607
00:48:28.920 --> 00:48:31.519
not just like we don't do it any old hour,

608
00:48:33.360 --> 00:48:36.280
you know, especially if you've been trained from the age

609
00:48:36.280 --> 00:48:39.800
of two how to dip biscuits in tea, because you've

610
00:48:39.800 --> 00:48:44.559
been trained at school like we are. And by the way,

611
00:48:44.599 --> 00:48:47.800
if you ever get into if if you're in another

612
00:48:47.840 --> 00:48:51.800
country and you want to, you know, show off your

613
00:48:52.599 --> 00:48:55.960
knowledge of other countries, this is something you could tell people.

614
00:48:57.000 --> 00:49:03.599
They'll be they'll be fascinated and impressed. Probably in fact,

615
00:49:04.599 --> 00:49:06.800
they may if it's a crowd of people that may

616
00:49:06.840 --> 00:49:09.880
actually lift you above their shoulders and parade you around

617
00:49:09.920 --> 00:49:17.719
the streets, singing your name loudly. So it's possible. Anything's possible,

618
00:49:17.760 --> 00:49:25.360
I suppose. And once you have the idea I'm going

619
00:49:25.400 --> 00:49:29.480
to I want to dip a biscuit in the tea,

620
00:49:30.679 --> 00:49:32.719
And it wasn't there to start with. But you know,

621
00:49:32.760 --> 00:49:36.239
I had the cup of tea and I thought I

622
00:49:36.239 --> 00:49:40.280
wish I had some biscuits. That's another thing. Normally English

623
00:49:40.360 --> 00:49:44.440
people carry around biscuits and we keep them in our

624
00:49:44.559 --> 00:49:48.199
socks before we say oh that's grim. No, they're in

625
00:49:48.239 --> 00:49:53.679
a packet. You know they're not. You know, it's not

626
00:49:53.800 --> 00:49:59.000
the whole big, massive, long packet of biscuits. These are

627
00:49:59.079 --> 00:50:04.039
smaller packets, so you might get maybe three biscuits or

628
00:50:04.559 --> 00:50:08.440
two biscuits maybe, so they fit inside the socks quite easily.

629
00:50:10.079 --> 00:50:17.039
And so generally every english Person would have at least

630
00:50:17.119 --> 00:50:21.880
one packet of biscuits in their socks. Now depends how

631
00:50:21.880 --> 00:50:24.679
long you're going to be out for. If you just

632
00:50:25.360 --> 00:50:31.239
if you're just popping around a neighbor's house, then you

633
00:50:31.440 --> 00:50:35.159
just like one one packet of one packet of biscuits

634
00:50:35.199 --> 00:50:42.599
and your socks is normally enough. And it depends because

635
00:50:42.960 --> 00:50:48.440
generally if you go around a neighbor's house, they the

636
00:50:48.559 --> 00:50:50.960
rule is in this country, if you visit a neighbor

637
00:50:51.519 --> 00:50:57.000
or friend or family, whoever it is, the visitor gets well, okay,

638
00:50:57.079 --> 00:50:59.360
the host, that say, the person who owns the place.

639
00:51:00.119 --> 00:51:04.920
The visitor gets given biscuits and gets to choose what

640
00:51:05.000 --> 00:51:09.440
biscuits they want. So this is an English thing. This

641
00:51:09.559 --> 00:51:12.199
is just this happens haven't here for centuries, I think,

642
00:51:13.519 --> 00:51:18.920
and so basically what happens, just in case you didn't

643
00:51:18.920 --> 00:51:24.199
know this in every English home there is if you

644
00:51:24.320 --> 00:51:28.960
go into the front door, every English home has a

645
00:51:29.079 --> 00:51:37.840
room full of biscuits, every single type of biscuits. And

646
00:51:37.880 --> 00:51:40.400
you could say, well, not all biscuits can be dunked.

647
00:51:41.000 --> 00:51:44.280
They can. If that's the thing. If you're not trained

648
00:51:45.360 --> 00:51:50.519
like we are, you might struggle to dip a soggy

649
00:51:50.559 --> 00:51:54.599
biscuit into the tea. It might not work for you.

650
00:51:56.360 --> 00:51:59.599
But even something like a jaffa cake, there's an art

651
00:52:00.679 --> 00:52:03.760
to doing a jaffa cake and not leaving any chocolate

652
00:52:04.760 --> 00:52:09.039
in tea. Or you can do it where you just

653
00:52:09.159 --> 00:52:12.760
leave a little love heart on the top of the tee. See,

654
00:52:13.360 --> 00:52:19.679
there's so much art connected to this. It's it's hard

655
00:52:19.719 --> 00:52:22.639
to explain. I realized it's it might this might be

656
00:52:22.760 --> 00:52:25.320
new to you. You might not have known this about

657
00:52:25.360 --> 00:52:33.480
English people, but it's it's a I started to think

658
00:52:33.519 --> 00:52:35.519
about this, you know, because I might be the only

659
00:52:35.599 --> 00:52:41.719
English person you ever listened to as far as a podcast,

660
00:52:42.239 --> 00:52:47.480
or you may not know any English people and your English,

661
00:52:47.760 --> 00:52:53.199
your your knowledge of England might come from television or

662
00:52:53.199 --> 00:52:56.239
from movies. And of course some of that's true, you know,

663
00:52:57.199 --> 00:53:02.320
but things like downtown Abbey, m it's that's not real.

664
00:53:03.559 --> 00:53:05.679
It's real, but I mean there are people that used

665
00:53:05.719 --> 00:53:09.039
to live like that, but it's not the general thing.

666
00:53:10.039 --> 00:53:15.199
What I'm telling you is what everybody does. So it's

667
00:53:15.280 --> 00:53:21.280
it's worth knowing that before you come here, and you

668
00:53:21.320 --> 00:53:26.280
could you can you can sound very, very knowledgeable when

669
00:53:26.320 --> 00:53:31.119
you tell people about this stuff, when you tell your

670
00:53:31.119 --> 00:53:36.639
friends and family, maybe over Christmas dinner, like did you

671
00:53:37.039 --> 00:53:43.800
know that in England every home has a room specifically

672
00:53:43.840 --> 00:53:49.840
for biscuits? See, they wouldn't know that until you told them.

673
00:53:49.920 --> 00:53:52.639
So I guess maybe I can tell you some other

674
00:53:52.679 --> 00:53:55.840
stuff about England at another time. This is just going

675
00:53:55.920 --> 00:53:58.920
to be the first I did a weird no you

676
00:53:58.960 --> 00:53:59.320
hear that?

677
00:53:59.719 --> 00:53:59.920
This is.

678
00:54:02.079 --> 00:54:11.199
So yeah, the little piggy in my throat, so in

679
00:54:11.239 --> 00:54:14.400
the biscuit it's called the bikie room. Okay that I

680
00:54:14.480 --> 00:54:17.280
should tell you that we don't call them biscuits. Here

681
00:54:17.280 --> 00:54:22.559
we call them bikies. It's just genuine. It's like it's

682
00:54:22.599 --> 00:54:27.360
just short for biscuits. Biki got time for cuppa cup

683
00:54:27.360 --> 00:54:30.480
of teas coppa got time for a cuppa and a bikie,

684
00:54:31.079 --> 00:54:33.920
So that's two different things. Have you got time for copper?

685
00:54:36.559 --> 00:54:42.360
Sometimes that just means well, you used to have a

686
00:54:42.440 --> 00:54:46.920
quick cup of tea, drink it and leave. But if

687
00:54:46.920 --> 00:54:49.199
someone says that I have you've got time for a cuppa

688
00:54:49.599 --> 00:54:53.480
and a bikie, what that means is they like you

689
00:54:54.400 --> 00:54:56.239
and they'd like to spend more time with you and

690
00:54:56.280 --> 00:54:59.599
get to know you better. It's kind of like an

691
00:54:59.679 --> 00:55:03.760
English chat up date, a chat up line in a way,

692
00:55:04.000 --> 00:55:12.880
but it's very subtle. So if you're it happens quite

693
00:55:13.039 --> 00:55:14.920
you know, if you literally someone says to you you

694
00:55:14.920 --> 00:55:18.599
would like her. If you're in a coffee place in

695
00:55:18.920 --> 00:55:23.079
the UK or in England and you order a coffee

696
00:55:23.599 --> 00:55:26.880
and they say, would you like some biscuits, that means

697
00:55:26.920 --> 00:55:31.079
one hundred that they're in love with you. So it's

698
00:55:31.119 --> 00:55:35.480
worth just this this information, worth knowing that they're basically

699
00:55:35.760 --> 00:55:40.960
you know, they love you, and that's it really is.

700
00:55:41.199 --> 00:55:46.360
I think it's quite handy to have this knowledge. But

701
00:55:46.360 --> 00:55:51.519
if someone invites you around, or you visit, by the way,

702
00:55:51.519 --> 00:55:54.639
if you visit and if you if they don't invite

703
00:55:54.679 --> 00:56:01.880
you and you just visit, then you don't get to

704
00:56:01.960 --> 00:56:08.599
choose what biscuits you want. They get to choose, But

705
00:56:08.679 --> 00:56:14.400
if they invite you, you get to choose. In fact,

706
00:56:14.440 --> 00:56:17.039
you don't even get an opportunity to go into the

707
00:56:17.079 --> 00:56:20.199
biscuit room or we call it the bickie room. But

708
00:56:20.599 --> 00:56:22.360
you don't get a chance to go into the biscuit

709
00:56:22.440 --> 00:56:27.639
room because you've not been invited. You've just made up

710
00:56:27.679 --> 00:56:29.599
your mind to knock on their door and go in

711
00:56:30.119 --> 00:56:35.519
or wait till they answer the door. Of course, in

712
00:56:35.559 --> 00:56:40.280
that situation, they can give you the horriblest biscuits that

713
00:56:40.320 --> 00:56:44.239
they want. They still have to give you biscuits, it's

714
00:56:44.280 --> 00:56:47.679
the law, but they don't have to give you the

715
00:56:47.760 --> 00:56:53.400
nice ones they can give you are because we have

716
00:56:53.519 --> 00:57:00.840
a thing here is going to shock you. Oh, this

717
00:57:00.960 --> 00:57:03.880
is this is It's going to be hard for me

718
00:57:03.920 --> 00:57:06.239
to say this out loud. I'm a little bit embarrassed

719
00:57:06.239 --> 00:57:10.960
by it. But Ven he's having a dream that he's

720
00:57:11.039 --> 00:57:19.039
dreaming out about biscuits. So we have this thing in

721
00:57:19.079 --> 00:57:22.400
this country. We have supermarkets. That's not the shocking part.

722
00:57:23.519 --> 00:57:26.800
We have supermarkets and they sell biscuits. Again, that's not

723
00:57:26.800 --> 00:57:35.400
the shocking part. The shocking part is there are amongst

724
00:57:35.679 --> 00:57:42.079
the many, many types of biscuits a thing. I'm just

725
00:57:42.159 --> 00:57:45.280
saying this out loud. Again, this is quite a secret.

726
00:57:45.360 --> 00:57:48.079
We're not supposed to share this. But hey, I suppose

727
00:57:48.079 --> 00:57:50.920
I've just broken all the rules. We have a thing

728
00:57:51.000 --> 00:57:56.880
here called home brand, and so if it's here in

729
00:57:56.920 --> 00:58:03.719
Sainsbury's Supermarketsbury's home brand biscuits. And they're still call them

730
00:58:03.719 --> 00:58:07.880
the same, like digestives or rich tea, but they're not

731
00:58:08.000 --> 00:58:13.280
really digestives and they're not really rich tea. And some

732
00:58:13.320 --> 00:58:16.559
would argue people have no sense of taste, no taste.

733
00:58:16.599 --> 00:58:21.800
Buds will argue it tastes the same, It doesn't taste

734
00:58:21.840 --> 00:58:27.760
the same, just the same way Dominoes and Pizza Gogo

735
00:58:27.960 --> 00:58:34.679
do not taste the same. Pizza Hut and pitting Dominoes don't.

736
00:58:34.679 --> 00:58:38.000
It's different things. This tastes different just because the word

737
00:58:38.079 --> 00:58:39.920
pizzas and it doesn't mean it's all going to taste

738
00:58:39.960 --> 00:58:44.039
the same. I've got on to talk about food. It

739
00:58:44.199 --> 00:58:49.039
makes me think it might be my tummy saying food

740
00:58:50.639 --> 00:58:58.360
a biscuit. So yeah, what some people do, and it's

741
00:58:58.519 --> 00:59:03.679
it's it don't have to, okay, but you have your

742
00:59:03.800 --> 00:59:11.360
right as an English citizen to provide instead of providing

743
00:59:11.480 --> 00:59:17.039
the decent biscuits, you provide the home brand biscuits for

744
00:59:17.159 --> 00:59:21.920
the cup of tea. And also you don't have to

745
00:59:22.000 --> 00:59:28.679
provide endless biscuits. I want to say endless. I mean

746
00:59:28.679 --> 00:59:31.679
they're all the same. There's no like massive biscuits. But

747
00:59:32.679 --> 00:59:36.199
although the wagon wheel used to be quite big, is

748
00:59:36.239 --> 00:59:36.880
it a biscuit?

749
00:59:37.159 --> 00:59:37.599
Is it?

750
00:59:37.639 --> 00:59:41.159
Is it like a chocolate because it is chocolate, but

751
00:59:41.199 --> 00:59:44.639
that's marshmallow inside, but also had biscuit. It's kind of

752
00:59:44.679 --> 00:59:47.159
a weird one is and it's too big to fit

753
00:59:47.199 --> 00:59:51.280
into a cup to dunke its. It's one of those

754
00:59:51.280 --> 00:59:53.800
weird things where you have to cut it in half

755
00:59:53.960 --> 00:59:57.159
first or in quarters, depending on how much you want

756
00:59:57.199 --> 01:00:02.719
to put in your mouth. And that's that's that was

757
01:00:03.079 --> 01:00:05.199
I think I've probably spent about three months of school

758
01:00:05.239 --> 01:00:07.400
just learning how to do a wagon wheel, how to

759
01:00:07.480 --> 01:00:11.039
dip one of them without ruining everything because they drip,

760
01:00:12.440 --> 01:00:17.719
really drip. That's the thing. That's why we have the

761
01:00:18.320 --> 01:00:21.719
you know, you got a cup and saucer. We don't

762
01:00:21.760 --> 01:00:24.559
really have. We don't really use saucers so much indoors.

763
01:00:26.039 --> 01:00:32.280
But that's what saucers were for, was collecting the remnants

764
01:00:32.320 --> 01:00:36.239
of the biscuit, of the tea dripping off the biscuit,

765
01:00:36.280 --> 01:00:39.119
and any kind of chocolate or biscuity bits could like

766
01:00:39.320 --> 01:00:42.400
just be kept in there so it didn't go on

767
01:00:42.400 --> 01:00:53.039
to the table or drip onto your trousers. But yeah, generally,

768
01:00:53.440 --> 01:00:55.960
I think it's it's quite nice to have something different

769
01:00:56.840 --> 01:00:59.599
from other people because you know, I know that in Japan,

770
01:00:59.679 --> 01:01:02.760
I think they have the tea ceremony, but it's very different.

771
01:01:03.239 --> 01:01:05.880
I've done a tea ceremony and put a center and

772
01:01:05.920 --> 01:01:10.519
they it's very slow. It's not something to be done

773
01:01:10.519 --> 01:01:14.480
when you're thirsty. That's all I'm saying. The tea ceremony

774
01:01:14.480 --> 01:01:19.000
isn't really about the tea. It's about mindfulness. It's about

775
01:01:20.000 --> 01:01:26.719
noticing every move that you make, every physical movement, every

776
01:01:26.920 --> 01:01:32.559
It's very slow and it's nice, very calm, but it's

777
01:01:33.880 --> 01:01:40.079
it's not really a social activity, I would argue. I'm

778
01:01:40.079 --> 01:01:43.000
trying to think of what other biscuits are liked. I

779
01:01:43.079 --> 01:01:47.000
used to have this little routine. I'm gonna say ritual, routine,

780
01:01:47.079 --> 01:01:57.639
ritual back in nineteen eighty eight, eighty eight, yeah, eighty eight,

781
01:02:00.400 --> 01:02:02.599
and I used to watch I remember I used to

782
01:02:02.639 --> 01:02:04.880
come home from work. I think this is when I

783
01:02:04.960 --> 01:02:10.440
was working at the co op on a Friday evening,

784
01:02:11.559 --> 01:02:16.920
I would watch Roseanne and Cheers. So between nine and ten,

785
01:02:18.719 --> 01:02:22.119
I couldn't tell you which one was on first, Roseanne

786
01:02:22.199 --> 01:02:24.760
or Cheers, I don't know, but they'd both be on it.

787
01:02:24.800 --> 01:02:27.920
And what I would do is I would have a

788
01:02:27.960 --> 01:02:32.440
can of coke and a packet of biscuits, and I

789
01:02:32.440 --> 01:02:37.119
would just eat the whole lot, maybe even two packs

790
01:02:37.159 --> 01:02:39.159
of biscuits, but I think it's one pack of biscuits.

791
01:02:40.000 --> 01:02:43.519
It was even fig rolls. Maybe it was two packs actually,

792
01:02:45.519 --> 01:02:49.440
but ginger nuts probably, and I would just feel bloated,

793
01:02:49.639 --> 01:02:56.159
like too much. But then when I was at the

794
01:02:56.159 --> 01:02:58.000
co op, I definitely went for a bit of a

795
01:02:58.039 --> 01:03:03.719
biscuit period. I guess a different whole weird visual. Isn't

796
01:03:03.719 --> 01:03:07.960
that biscuit period at lunch time? Not lunchtime, at break time,

797
01:03:09.079 --> 01:03:11.320
the first break of the day. When I worked in

798
01:03:11.360 --> 01:03:15.360
the co op, which was a supermarket thing, it wasn't

799
01:03:15.400 --> 01:03:21.119
a big supermarket that I worked in and two tills.

800
01:03:21.199 --> 01:03:25.800
That was it, really, I think, or three tills something

801
01:03:25.880 --> 01:03:29.239
like that. Four tills, I think, two tills on the

802
01:03:29.239 --> 01:03:30.800
main toil, and then there's a couple of other little

803
01:03:30.840 --> 01:03:42.519
tills when it was busy. Anyway, I went and I

804
01:03:42.599 --> 01:03:46.559
had this little routine when I would have my break,

805
01:03:46.679 --> 01:03:50.199
I buy a can of coke and I would buy

806
01:03:50.280 --> 01:03:54.079
some figure rolls. They were not home brand figure roles

807
01:03:54.159 --> 01:04:00.519
because they were for me. They weren't for a visitor

808
01:04:00.599 --> 01:04:04.400
that had not, let me know, you know, an unwanted visitor.

809
01:04:04.559 --> 01:04:08.000
That's the one that would get the home brand figureles.

810
01:04:08.320 --> 01:04:11.519
These were nice figure roles. And there's nothing wrong with

811
01:04:11.599 --> 01:04:19.039
home brand biscuits, you know, for other people. But you know,

812
01:04:19.320 --> 01:04:23.079
I've been raised to be a biscuits snob. That's how

813
01:04:23.079 --> 01:04:28.079
it is. So it's not my fault. It's like, you

814
01:04:28.119 --> 01:04:30.559
wouldn't blame me if I had a religious belief, if

815
01:04:30.559 --> 01:04:32.280
I was brought up to have that belief, and no

816
01:04:32.320 --> 01:04:36.920
matter how silly it might seem to everyone else, you

817
01:04:36.960 --> 01:04:39.559
can't blame me because I've been raised to believe that.

818
01:04:39.599 --> 01:04:42.840
I don't know any different, and it's almost impossible to

819
01:04:42.880 --> 01:04:46.519
believe anything different in a way, but it's just like

820
01:04:46.800 --> 01:04:50.320
that's all I know, and that's that's what I know.

821
01:04:51.079 --> 01:04:55.159
It's very hard to get someone out of that. And

822
01:04:55.199 --> 01:05:02.000
it's the same with biscuits. Biscuits are very much like religion,

823
01:05:02.119 --> 01:05:08.159
don't you know. So I used to have these fig

824
01:05:08.280 --> 01:05:14.199
rolls fig rolls, but they weren't because there's different types

825
01:05:14.239 --> 01:05:17.000
of fig roles you can get. You can get the

826
01:05:17.039 --> 01:05:19.320
ones that are like a roll, like literally they look

827
01:05:19.360 --> 01:05:21.559
a little bit like a sausage roll, really like a

828
01:05:21.599 --> 01:05:26.079
really small sausage roll. These ones weren't them. They were

829
01:05:26.360 --> 01:05:31.320
more fancy and a little bit bigger and like rolled

830
01:05:31.400 --> 01:05:36.480
over pastry. It was different. It tasted much nicer, and

831
01:05:36.519 --> 01:05:38.960
I think there was like one, two, three for about

832
01:05:39.079 --> 01:05:42.480
six in a pack, and I'd eat a whole lot

833
01:05:43.360 --> 01:05:49.960
with bican of coke. Yeah, fifteen minute break and while

834
01:05:49.960 --> 01:05:52.599
we do do that, listen to the radio in the

835
01:05:52.679 --> 01:05:56.480
staff room. The staff room was like big enough for

836
01:05:56.559 --> 01:06:01.079
two people sitting at a table and probably a coat

837
01:06:01.159 --> 01:06:04.039
rack or you know, that's it. There wasn't a lot

838
01:06:04.079 --> 01:06:10.199
of room in there. And I did that for months,

839
01:06:10.280 --> 01:06:24.280
just a nice or lovely figure roles, nice can and coke. Yeah,

840
01:06:24.280 --> 01:06:27.800
it was nice. I like that. It's weird though, because

841
01:06:27.800 --> 01:06:31.639
I closed my eyes and I can still see inside

842
01:06:31.719 --> 01:06:37.480
that shop now. I have been inside the shop over

843
01:06:37.519 --> 01:06:41.559
the years, because I've visited that town many times, hundreds

844
01:06:41.559 --> 01:06:45.119
of times since I left school, since I left the town,

845
01:06:45.400 --> 01:06:50.199
so I've been back loads of times. It's a long

846
01:06:50.320 --> 01:06:54.320
time since I went into that shop, many many years,

847
01:06:54.840 --> 01:06:58.920
so it might have changed, but I just remember how

848
01:06:58.920 --> 01:07:02.199
it used to be. So you'd go in, you'd look

849
01:07:02.239 --> 01:07:10.360
at the shop and it was next to a if

850
01:07:10.360 --> 01:07:13.559
you was facing it. They say, you like if you

851
01:07:13.679 --> 01:07:17.760
walked out of the front door of the co op

852
01:07:18.159 --> 01:07:22.719
shop supermarket and just walk backwards. Not a good idea.

853
01:07:22.840 --> 01:07:25.079
You might bang into something, but it was quite a

854
01:07:25.079 --> 01:07:31.480
big payment and you stopped and you opened your eyes.

855
01:07:31.719 --> 01:07:33.679
I mean again, why would you have a clip? Why

856
01:07:33.719 --> 01:07:35.920
would you close your eyes if you're walking backwards? But

857
01:07:35.960 --> 01:07:39.599
why would you walk backwards? Would it make any difference

858
01:07:39.639 --> 01:07:41.800
if you had your eyes open, because you can't see

859
01:07:41.880 --> 01:07:42.920
behind yourself.

860
01:07:42.599 --> 01:07:42.840
Can you?

861
01:07:44.320 --> 01:07:47.280
Less you're a pigeon. So that's what I admire about

862
01:07:47.280 --> 01:07:54.199
pigeons because they can see pretty much everywhere. They're omnipotous

863
01:07:56.360 --> 01:08:04.079
nipple nipples and to the left there was this Chinese

864
01:08:04.119 --> 01:08:08.840
takeaway and that was it. That was all I was

865
01:08:09.000 --> 01:08:13.440
on that little bit of road. So you go into

866
01:08:13.480 --> 01:08:15.519
the supermarket and on the right hand side there was

867
01:08:15.559 --> 01:08:21.079
the bit where the loryers would go into deliver. So

868
01:08:21.159 --> 01:08:23.439
you go into the entrance, it was like a double door.

869
01:08:24.039 --> 01:08:27.199
Left hand side was the counter all the way up

870
01:08:27.239 --> 01:08:30.000
on the left hand side, so it was a cigarettes,

871
01:08:30.119 --> 01:08:33.159
booze all that stuff. Yeah. I think there might have

872
01:08:33.199 --> 01:08:41.920
been two tills. Yeah, ah, and I think there was

873
01:08:42.560 --> 01:08:49.800
a conveyor belt as well on there. Why would there

874
01:08:49.880 --> 01:08:51.920
isn't now, but I think there might have been back then.

875
01:08:54.000 --> 01:09:03.520
Ah maybe anyway, so there was that. And then if

876
01:09:03.560 --> 01:09:07.159
you so you go in, turn right, there's one lane

877
01:09:07.159 --> 01:09:16.119
that goes down, then turn left. There's another lane and

878
01:09:17.399 --> 01:09:19.439
turn right and then turn left and that leads you

879
01:09:19.520 --> 01:09:22.199
to the thing. So there's a few lanes and it's

880
01:09:22.239 --> 01:09:26.279
not a large store. There's free of stuff at the bottom.

881
01:09:26.760 --> 01:09:32.439
I did like the smell of the place. It's quite

882
01:09:32.439 --> 01:09:34.880
a nice smell. You know, there's lots of groceries and

883
01:09:35.399 --> 01:09:42.760
bread and vegetables and sorry, vegetables and that you could

884
01:09:42.800 --> 01:09:52.279
feed your tor toys. Stop it. I think I just

885
01:09:52.359 --> 01:10:02.720
heard a fly. What I think, I suppose just different, Yeah,

886
01:10:02.960 --> 01:10:07.000
dairy products. The fridges were there, so I guess the

887
01:10:07.039 --> 01:10:09.880
smell of the fridges, and it was just a nice,

888
01:10:11.039 --> 01:10:15.159
general nice quite quite a nice smell. I think the

889
01:10:15.199 --> 01:10:18.239
supermarkets do smell quite nice. Actually, it's all that mixture

890
01:10:18.239 --> 01:10:22.880
of different things. Why I wasn't so keen on was

891
01:10:22.920 --> 01:10:26.479
the brown jacket I had to wear, because first of all,

892
01:10:26.520 --> 01:10:29.600
it was too tight and I was tiny back then.

893
01:10:30.439 --> 01:10:33.439
You know, I was like nine stone or something as like,

894
01:10:33.680 --> 01:10:48.039
really really slim, and wow, I'm like six six stone heavier.

895
01:10:52.520 --> 01:10:55.319
It used to be seven stone heavier. But I lost this.

896
01:10:55.600 --> 01:10:59.560
I lost this some weirds I did. I did. I did,

897
01:11:00.800 --> 01:11:03.479
and kept it off as well, which is pretty cool.

898
01:11:05.880 --> 01:11:10.880
Uh Yeah. I didn't like it to smell weird, just

899
01:11:10.920 --> 01:11:13.399
smell weird, just had a weird smell, and I thought,

900
01:11:15.159 --> 01:11:20.359
I don't want to smell weird. I'm only seventeen. Just

901
01:11:21.680 --> 01:11:24.479
I was hoping to one day get to hold someone's hand,

902
01:11:25.359 --> 01:11:28.359
you know, don't have romance. I didn't want to be

903
01:11:28.399 --> 01:11:33.159
walking around smilly. I don't know what it was. I

904
01:11:33.239 --> 01:11:35.560
think someone else had worn it before me. I took

905
01:11:35.600 --> 01:11:38.600
it home. I washed it still had a weird kind

906
01:11:38.600 --> 01:11:41.600
of smell, and eventually I was able to get a

907
01:11:41.840 --> 01:11:45.199
bigger one. So I'd much rather have something that looks

908
01:11:45.199 --> 01:11:47.399
too big on me than something that looks too small

909
01:11:47.439 --> 01:11:54.960
on me. Plus it was, yeah, it was uncomfortable. Uncomfortable,

910
01:11:58.960 --> 01:12:02.199
But then they did they did. I used to employ kids,

911
01:12:04.119 --> 01:12:07.600
like in the evenings, like part time stuff from school

912
01:12:08.199 --> 01:12:11.039
at the weekends and stuff, so I think they probably

913
01:12:11.840 --> 01:12:15.119
they had little sizes for the kids. I just happened

914
01:12:15.119 --> 01:12:24.039
to be kids sizes. Even at seventeen. Yeah, that was ye.

915
01:12:24.159 --> 01:12:25.920
I wasn't a big fan out, but it was once

916
01:12:25.960 --> 01:12:27.880
I got a Yeah, I got a bigger one, but

917
01:12:27.920 --> 01:12:29.319
it was too long for me, so I had to

918
01:12:29.399 --> 01:12:33.239
roll the sleeves up. I don't know what did you do?

919
01:12:33.520 --> 01:12:40.720
It's like it, okay, I need so I've got I've

920
01:12:40.720 --> 01:12:44.680
got a cardigan that I need to be bigger because

921
01:12:44.680 --> 01:12:50.520
of my body, but I don't have long arms, so

922
01:12:52.359 --> 01:12:57.159
it kind of covers half my hands, but the shoulders

923
01:12:57.479 --> 01:13:01.359
and the upper body feels you know, it's just weird.

924
01:13:01.600 --> 01:13:12.119
Just what those what is it taro terradactyl, tero doctyl, pterodactyl, torectible,

925
01:13:12.840 --> 01:13:15.880
You know the ones with little hands kangaroos. That's another

926
01:13:15.880 --> 01:13:18.920
one of that look at little arms and bigger body.

927
01:13:19.000 --> 01:13:22.119
Maybe that's me not quite that bad. But I don't

928
01:13:22.239 --> 01:13:29.640
have really yeah, I don't have long arms. I don't

929
01:13:29.680 --> 01:13:35.399
have like really short arms, but they're not wrong. They're

930
01:13:35.399 --> 01:13:41.800
not long enough to fit my body. Basically, my height

931
01:13:41.920 --> 01:13:45.119
is not My legs are not long enough to fit

932
01:13:45.159 --> 01:13:51.159
my body either. Come five for eight. My ideal weight

933
01:13:51.239 --> 01:13:57.640
should be like eleven and a half stone, and I'm

934
01:13:57.720 --> 01:14:04.479
not that and no eleven and a half stock. So

935
01:14:05.279 --> 01:14:09.000
even if I was twelve and a half or thirteen,

936
01:14:10.479 --> 01:14:19.399
then it's still it's overweight apparently, So my weight for

937
01:14:19.520 --> 01:14:25.159
my height is ridiculous. You know, I should be like

938
01:14:25.439 --> 01:14:29.319
seven foot tall from my height for my height for

939
01:14:29.439 --> 01:14:33.640
my weight, I should probably be about six two six

940
01:14:33.760 --> 01:14:39.640
three six five six four to be my my weight,

941
01:14:39.760 --> 01:14:46.159
I should be yeah, about six six foot five, maybe

942
01:14:46.199 --> 01:14:48.359
six three. I could get away with it at six

943
01:14:48.479 --> 01:14:55.960
three six two, you know, well set, heavy but quite tall.

944
01:14:56.000 --> 01:14:58.600
I could get I could do that, but I'm not.

945
01:14:58.720 --> 01:15:05.039
I'm stumpy and like I wouldn't look at her place

946
01:15:05.640 --> 01:15:10.880
on the new swat Snow White movie. I don't mean

947
01:15:11.000 --> 01:15:16.520
taking her place she live in have another acting job.

948
01:15:16.560 --> 01:15:21.199
After that, I watched a bit of snow White, the

949
01:15:21.239 --> 01:15:28.920
new one, and it's I'd say, it's weird, right, just

950
01:15:29.039 --> 01:15:33.800
leave her alone. That's that's that's my opinion. It's weird.

951
01:15:33.800 --> 01:15:37.199
It's just that really really went for her because she

952
01:15:37.359 --> 01:15:43.199
was just talking like a teenager. She's a teenager, or

953
01:15:43.279 --> 01:15:45.039
maybe she's in her early twenties. I don't know, but

954
01:15:45.079 --> 01:15:48.039
she just she just she was just talking away that

955
01:15:48.560 --> 01:15:53.039
she talked to, just being herself, and I really really

956
01:15:53.079 --> 01:15:58.600
went for her. It was like, leave her alone. And

957
01:15:58.640 --> 01:16:00.439
I didn't think of that in a sense of like

958
01:16:00.640 --> 01:16:02.760
a father figure, because I don't feel like a father

959
01:16:02.840 --> 01:16:09.880
figure towards a young woman, just from a you know,

960
01:16:10.039 --> 01:16:17.439
a human perspective. Leave alone. It's snow White. Don't mess

961
01:16:17.479 --> 01:16:24.520
with snow White. Show some respect for the Snowy the

962
01:16:24.640 --> 01:16:30.039
Snowy one. Do you don't think that's snow White. Did

963
01:16:30.119 --> 01:16:32.880
she have who is it? Had blonde hair in the

964
01:16:32.920 --> 01:16:35.680
Disney movies, because you'd think snow White would have blonde hair.

965
01:16:35.760 --> 01:16:39.800
I don't know why, like just blonde. I don't know,

966
01:16:39.960 --> 01:16:45.600
snow maybe because white snow is white? Who had blonde hair?

967
01:16:46.760 --> 01:16:51.039
Goldilocks suppose that makes sense withn't it Goldilocks? But then

968
01:16:51.079 --> 01:16:55.800
she'd have golden hair, not white hair or blonde hair. Rather,

969
01:16:59.800 --> 01:17:04.319
who else is there? Sleeping beauty? It's a coldielock, sleeping

970
01:17:04.399 --> 01:17:10.640
beauty Rapunzel, sir a Punzel. I don't know what color

971
01:17:10.680 --> 01:17:13.279
hair she had. She had long hair, didn't she a Punzel?

972
01:17:16.920 --> 01:17:23.439
Mm Still one of my favorites.

973
01:17:23.039 --> 01:17:28.159

976
01:17:40.560 --> 01:17:44.000
The cold doesn't bother me anyway, I see, that's the

977
01:17:44.039 --> 01:17:46.880
only let it go and the cold doesn't bother me anyway.

978
01:17:46.880 --> 01:17:50.319
It's the only only bits I remember. I liked that movie,

979
01:17:52.079 --> 01:17:54.680
Yeah I did. And what is it? The silly? That

980
01:17:54.840 --> 01:18:02.520
is it? The Snowman? He's good in that as well. Yeah,

981
01:18:03.079 --> 01:18:05.000
that's got to be the first role that he ever

982
01:18:05.079 --> 01:18:08.880
had where people weren't judging him on his appearance. Blind me.

983
01:18:09.359 --> 01:18:14.800
Leave the man alone. He can't like he's he overweight

984
01:18:14.960 --> 01:18:17.520
or like the moment you've lost a lot of weight,

985
01:18:17.800 --> 01:18:22.600
are you okay? Like leave him alone? He's a funny acts.

986
01:18:25.840 --> 01:18:29.239
I'm very in the supportive, supporting actors kind of mood

987
01:18:29.840 --> 01:18:37.600
at the moment. Yes, did you know that the It's

988
01:18:37.680 --> 01:18:45.359
not really related to biscuits, but Canelo fight against Crawford,

989
01:18:46.399 --> 01:18:50.119
which is on in September. I think it's going to

990
01:18:50.119 --> 01:18:55.600
be on Netflix. Netflix, So I signed up to Netflix

991
01:18:55.640 --> 01:18:57.840
because it's going to be free. Well it's not really free,

992
01:18:57.880 --> 01:19:00.920
but it's going to be streamed, not pay per view.

993
01:19:02.000 --> 01:19:09.840
One of the biggest fights I would say of the year, personally,

994
01:19:10.520 --> 01:19:14.600
the most exciting fights of the year. Four boxing fans,

995
01:19:15.319 --> 01:19:24.359
fourthening Canelo. It's a great fight. It would have been. Yeah,

996
01:19:24.680 --> 01:19:32.199
I mean as far as exciting fights go, boxing wise,

997
01:19:32.840 --> 01:19:39.079
I mean, you've got the the World heavyweight Championship with

998
01:19:39.439 --> 01:19:42.880
Usik and Dubois, but they've already fought before. So although

999
01:19:42.920 --> 01:19:45.439
it's exciting, it's July the nineteenth, and I'm going to

1000
01:19:45.439 --> 01:19:52.159
be watching it one hopefully, and I'm looking forward to it.

1001
01:19:53.760 --> 01:19:57.840
But they have fought before, and Canelo and Usik beating,

1002
01:20:00.399 --> 01:20:06.079
so that doesn't have the same excitement as Crawford Canelo

1003
01:20:06.840 --> 01:20:13.760
because they've never fought before, and they both they're both

1004
01:20:13.800 --> 01:20:17.880
broken records in their own way. I mean, no one,

1005
01:20:18.000 --> 01:20:23.520
there's no boxer there's no box there's no active boxer

1006
01:20:24.159 --> 01:20:31.399
around today that can match Canelo's boxing record, his professional record,

1007
01:20:31.720 --> 01:20:35.520
not about how many wins he's had, just how many

1008
01:20:36.319 --> 01:20:42.079
names he's fought, how many big names he's actually conquered,

1009
01:20:42.239 --> 01:20:45.640
whether he beat them or not. Actually, he's just fought

1010
01:20:45.960 --> 01:20:52.560
so many people and won so many titles. But then,

1011
01:20:52.680 --> 01:20:58.119
but Crawford has unified two different divisions. It's a free

1012
01:20:58.119 --> 01:21:04.159
wide world champion, and he's unified three divisions. I think,

1013
01:21:04.960 --> 01:21:08.079
or he's unified two divisions and won three world titles,

1014
01:21:08.520 --> 01:21:10.920
and he's a yeah, he's won three. I think it's

1015
01:21:11.760 --> 01:21:16.399
I think he's one world titles in three divisions, three

1016
01:21:16.399 --> 01:21:22.520
weight classes. He's unified in two weight classes. And if

1017
01:21:22.560 --> 01:21:26.359
he's fighting Canelo, who holds all the belts in the

1018
01:21:26.399 --> 01:21:29.600
super middleweight So if he wins that he will be

1019
01:21:29.640 --> 01:21:35.079
the first boxer in history to be unified in three

1020
01:21:36.479 --> 01:21:41.880
different weight divisions. Now, Canelo is already.

1021
01:21:43.199 --> 01:21:43.359
One.

1022
01:21:44.199 --> 01:21:46.319
Regardless of what anyone says, it's one of the greatest

1023
01:21:46.359 --> 01:21:53.199
boxers of our generation for what is accomplished. Just what

1024
01:21:53.279 --> 01:21:58.199
he's done is just phenomenal. And he's potentially on the slide.

1025
01:21:58.239 --> 01:22:00.319
But even on the slide, he's still beating it one

1026
01:22:02.800 --> 01:22:05.239
so they said always on a slide because he's getting old.

1027
01:22:05.359 --> 01:22:08.720
Now he's what was he thirty three or thirty four,

1028
01:22:08.960 --> 01:22:12.920
thirty five? Maybe now he's been boxing since he was fifteen,

1029
01:22:12.960 --> 01:22:18.840
I think professionally, I mean, he's been a professional fighter

1030
01:22:18.880 --> 01:22:24.920
for what twenty years. He's won so many world titles.

1031
01:22:25.680 --> 01:22:27.560
I don't know if anyone else has won as many

1032
01:22:27.760 --> 01:22:32.119
titles as him, as many divisions as him, maybe Paquio

1033
01:22:34.279 --> 01:22:42.760
May Mayweather and Pacio Pakio Paqui how I think Pakio

1034
01:22:42.880 --> 01:22:51.560
had seven different divisions, seven different weight divisions, and almost

1035
01:22:52.079 --> 01:22:56.199
I almost believe that this was just like fake news.

1036
01:22:56.880 --> 01:23:04.680
Pakio is actually coming back after year of professional boxing,

1037
01:23:05.039 --> 01:23:11.159
years of like proper you know, fighting big names and whatever,

1038
01:23:13.000 --> 01:23:16.920
and he's fighting for a world title, no warmup fights.

1039
01:23:18.119 --> 01:23:24.359
He's fighting straight away for a world title. And I

1040
01:23:24.399 --> 01:23:29.840
will watch it. But I do wonder, like, I mean,

1041
01:23:29.880 --> 01:23:33.479
he's not the first one to do that. But he's

1042
01:23:33.520 --> 01:23:35.520
been out of the ring for quite a long time.

1043
01:23:39.000 --> 01:23:46.239
You know, when sugar Yn Lenard came back to beat

1044
01:23:46.520 --> 01:23:51.039
Marvin Hagler, he'd been out of the ring for a

1045
01:23:51.079 --> 01:23:54.720
good couple of years or so. But I think many's

1046
01:23:54.760 --> 01:23:57.199
been out of the ring for five or six years.

1047
01:23:58.000 --> 01:24:02.119
He's had a couple of exhibitions fights maybe they went

1048
01:24:02.159 --> 01:24:06.520
on his record as being professional fights, but he hasn't

1049
01:24:06.560 --> 01:24:12.399
fought any boxers. I think he fought like a kickboxer,

1050
01:24:12.800 --> 01:24:15.359
but in a ring. I think it was a kickboxing

1051
01:24:15.399 --> 01:24:20.199
world champion, but it's still mootai or something. And there

1052
01:24:20.199 --> 01:24:21.920
was one fight yet when he just kept knocking to

1053
01:24:21.960 --> 01:24:24.640
blow down. So he's had a few fights like that

1054
01:24:24.720 --> 01:24:28.680
over the years, but professionally, I don't think he's fought

1055
01:24:28.760 --> 01:24:33.199
for six at least six years, maybe longer as an

1056
01:24:33.239 --> 01:24:39.800
actual contender in the world boxing scene. And he goes

1057
01:24:39.840 --> 01:24:46.159
straight into fighting for a world title and he's what

1058
01:24:46.199 --> 01:24:49.800
he's about forty four now, I think, or forty five

1059
01:24:49.960 --> 01:24:53.439
or four older, maybe even I don't know, getting onto

1060
01:24:53.439 --> 01:24:56.840
fifty I think maybe, yeah, I think he's getting on.

1061
01:24:57.560 --> 01:25:00.840
He can't be getting onto fifty, can he. He's in

1062
01:25:00.880 --> 01:25:04.760
his forties early forties, I think. But then that makes

1063
01:25:04.800 --> 01:25:07.199
me think, you know, like I hear people going on

1064
01:25:07.239 --> 01:25:10.720
about well, I can hear people, what's.

1065
01:25:10.319 --> 01:25:12.279
This got to do about you've got to go back

1066
01:25:12.279 --> 01:25:15.600
to boxing? Then what about the biscuits? We were really

1067
01:25:15.600 --> 01:25:17.880
interested in the biscuits and then you talk about boxing again.

1068
01:25:19.760 --> 01:25:21.439
I'll be honest with you, I think I've run out

1069
01:25:21.439 --> 01:25:24.560
of biscuits stories. I didn't think i'd ever say that

1070
01:25:24.560 --> 01:25:28.199
out loud as a sentence. I never thought i'd come

1071
01:25:28.199 --> 01:25:35.560
out of my mouth some of the heavyweights, you know,

1072
01:25:35.640 --> 01:25:42.159
the people talking about heavyweights or the internet again. Oh,

1073
01:25:42.720 --> 01:25:45.000
Dillian White, he's thirty eight years old.

1074
01:25:45.079 --> 01:25:50.920
Now he's you know, he's got most of the tumor.

1075
01:25:51.039 --> 01:25:54.399
Is going to be fighting him in September, and he

1076
01:25:54.479 --> 01:25:58.000
doesn't stand a chance against him because he's twenty years old.

1077
01:25:58.560 --> 01:26:03.319
And Dillian why is thirty eight? Doesn't hands down hope

1078
01:26:03.359 --> 01:26:08.479
against the young man, and then it's like everyone forgotten.

1079
01:26:08.720 --> 01:26:12.960
George Foreman, he didn't come back until it was about

1080
01:26:13.039 --> 01:26:16.520
thirty eight and he won the world title of forty

1081
01:26:16.560 --> 01:26:23.000
four or forty five, forty four forty five. He fought

1082
01:26:23.000 --> 01:26:29.199
for the world title twice before that, and against Tommy

1083
01:26:29.239 --> 01:26:36.640
Morrison and Evander Hollyfield, and eventually he did win it.

1084
01:26:38.119 --> 01:26:41.079
So he had to fight to get it. He doesn't

1085
01:26:41.119 --> 01:26:43.279
just handed it, you know, he had to. He had

1086
01:26:43.279 --> 01:26:45.960
to have loads of twenty odd fights before he got

1087
01:26:45.960 --> 01:26:49.520
a chance to fight for the world title the second

1088
01:26:49.560 --> 01:26:50.319
time round.

1089
01:26:50.720 --> 01:26:51.119
And.

1090
01:26:53.000 --> 01:27:01.199
They're writing people off who were less than forty. It's

1091
01:27:01.279 --> 01:27:05.039
just I don't know, just it seemed to have forgotten.

1092
01:27:08.439 --> 01:27:12.640
And then you've got Desic Desic Derek Isaura, who's a

1093
01:27:12.800 --> 01:27:20.079
handful for anyone. It seems really weird. Like Derek I

1094
01:27:20.119 --> 01:27:24.680
can't say his name today, Derek Chaura. He's he's been

1095
01:27:24.720 --> 01:27:28.840
winning quite a few fights lately. He's really good. He's exciting,

1096
01:27:29.159 --> 01:27:38.439
exciting to watch. And he's even forty now, he thought,

1097
01:27:40.279 --> 01:27:43.479
and Dillian why that he's he's not been very active,

1098
01:27:43.560 --> 01:27:49.960
but he's had a great career. Tyson Fury, who's some

1099
01:27:49.960 --> 01:27:53.479
people say, oh, he's not any good. Not really. Tyson

1100
01:27:53.560 --> 01:28:02.000
Fury made both of those boxes look awful. I mean really,

1101
01:28:02.039 --> 01:28:08.800
he made them both look awful. It looked effortless for him.

1102
01:28:08.960 --> 01:28:11.359
Isn't it weird thing that no matter what you do,

1103
01:28:12.760 --> 01:28:16.039
like the boxes, no matter how successful you are, and

1104
01:28:16.800 --> 01:28:19.359
the minute you lose like up now is no good.

1105
01:28:20.279 --> 01:28:23.760
It's like, Okay, who did he lose to? He lost

1106
01:28:23.800 --> 01:28:29.039
to Usick, who will possibly go down as being one

1107
01:28:29.039 --> 01:28:32.600
of the greatest heavyweights ever, one of the greatest evyweights,

1108
01:28:33.279 --> 01:28:37.399
definitely of this era. This generation the last twenty years,

1109
01:28:37.399 --> 01:28:46.680
I'd say, because I've always achieved unbeaten. At the moment, yeah,

1110
01:28:46.720 --> 01:28:52.119
I just I don't know. Can't we just get along,

1111
01:28:52.560 --> 01:28:55.960
That's all I'm saying. Let's just all have a cup

1112
01:28:55.960 --> 01:28:56.520
of tea.

1113
01:28:56.279 --> 01:28:57.880
And some biscuits.

1114
01:29:00.920 --> 01:29:04.399
So I don't know that was all weird recording. I'm

1115
01:29:04.439 --> 01:29:08.399
going to go thank you for listening, and remember to

1116
01:29:08.439 --> 01:29:12.039
be kind to yourself, because you do deserve to be happy.

1117
01:29:13.199 --> 01:29:15.920
Be gentle with yourself, because you deserve to feel safe,

1118
01:29:17.600 --> 01:29:33.640
lots of love. Aye, relax in a more deep and

1119
01:29:37.479 --> 01:29:44.840
meaningful way, maybe in a way that can not just

1120
01:29:45.159 --> 01:29:55.239
allow you to feel calmer now and throughout the time

1121
01:29:55.920 --> 01:30:04.399
we've spend together here, just relaxed at the end of

1122
01:30:04.439 --> 01:30:09.039
the recording, when it's finished, and you can enjoy that

1123
01:30:09.560 --> 01:30:26.479
sense of comfort and peace, but also I think it

1124
01:30:26.479 --> 01:30:42.279
would be nice to have those feelings of relaxation continue

1125
01:30:42.560 --> 01:30:54.399
for longer after the recording has ended, so that you

1126
01:30:54.479 --> 01:31:06.880
can still benefit from listening to my voice, maybe in

1127
01:31:06.920 --> 01:31:19.560
a few hours time, perhaps tomorrow, and then by listening regularly,

1128
01:31:22.640 --> 01:31:27.239
especially if you find like some people do and myself

1129
01:31:27.279 --> 01:31:31.880
as well. I sometimes I find one particular recording that

1130
01:31:32.079 --> 01:31:40.720
really resonates with me, and I just listen to it

1131
01:31:40.840 --> 01:31:53.680
over and over again every morning, every evening. There was

1132
01:31:53.720 --> 01:31:59.439
this recording from We're going back to about nineteen ninety nine.

1133
01:32:01.119 --> 01:32:06.239
It was it wasn't hypnosis, but it was a guided visualization,

1134
01:32:06.439 --> 01:32:08.680
so it kind of was hypnosis, really.

1135
01:32:10.800 --> 01:32:11.279
And.

1136
01:32:12.960 --> 01:32:16.279
I managed to find it again and it still has

1137
01:32:16.319 --> 01:32:21.960
the same effect on me. And part of it was

1138
01:32:25.600 --> 01:32:36.640
the person's voice relaxed me. She just felt so peaceful,

1139
01:32:38.680 --> 01:32:45.239
and I'd look forward to listening to her in the

1140
01:32:45.239 --> 01:32:55.960
morning and in the evening, and I knew before even

1141
01:32:56.720 --> 01:33:05.159
pressing the play button that since I've done that, pressed

1142
01:33:05.199 --> 01:33:13.760
the play button. This was in the days of CD

1143
01:33:13.960 --> 01:33:22.600
players pressed the play button. In fact, it might have

1144
01:33:22.680 --> 01:33:27.159
even been a tape recorder. I'd lie down on the

1145
01:33:27.199 --> 01:33:40.960
bed and then even without necessarily listening to her words

1146
01:33:43.920 --> 01:33:53.279
because I had them memorized. Really, it was as if

1147
01:33:53.319 --> 01:34:04.560
my body knew exactly what to do, and the muscles

1148
01:34:04.800 --> 01:34:26.159
just almost went into automatic relaxation, and I remember my

1149
01:34:26.359 --> 01:34:40.279
mind would slow down. Now. Now, I was listening to

1150
01:34:40.359 --> 01:34:49.560
this recording in the early days of learning hypnosis, and

1151
01:34:49.840 --> 01:34:58.720
long before I ever made any videos or audio recordings myself,

1152
01:35:00.039 --> 01:35:03.279
because I didn't start doing that till two thousand and six,

1153
01:35:10.039 --> 01:35:25.840
but I knew. I knew how helpful I found being

1154
01:35:25.880 --> 01:35:35.079
able to just let go, to have that trust in

1155
01:35:35.159 --> 01:35:45.560
the person that I'm listening to, knowing that it's going

1156
01:35:45.640 --> 01:35:56.159
to be just as relaxing, if not more so. Each

1157
01:35:56.279 --> 01:36:02.920
time you hear my voice, you may feel the same.

1158
01:36:09.239 --> 01:36:19.560
Some people have been listening to me for over a decade.

1159
01:36:24.680 --> 01:36:29.560
Maybe not solidly, obviously not twenty four hours a day,

1160
01:36:30.479 --> 01:36:37.000
but maybe people come back. Some people may be listen

1161
01:36:37.079 --> 01:36:53.640
every day. There's something that I do which you may

1162
01:36:53.760 --> 01:37:14.720
not realize by listening, is when I record these recordings. Now,

1163
01:37:14.840 --> 01:37:27.399
for example, I also am affected by the words that

1164
01:37:27.520 --> 01:37:39.680
I say. So if I set you focus on your feet,

1165
01:37:42.199 --> 01:37:49.920
notice your feet relaxing, I will be focusing on my feet.

1166
01:37:54.840 --> 01:38:12.239
I will be noticing my feet relaxing. If I said,

1167
01:38:12.359 --> 01:38:20.039
focus on your hands, and maybe notice the difference between

1168
01:38:20.079 --> 01:38:31.039
each hand, Perhaps notice the air in the room, the

1169
01:38:31.039 --> 01:38:35.680
temperature of the room. On the backs of your hands.

1170
01:38:43.479 --> 01:38:47.399
You may start to notice what almost feels like a

1171
01:38:47.520 --> 01:38:55.600
very light breeze, even though there may not be any

1172
01:38:56.000 --> 01:39:00.880
type of breeze at all where you are right now.

1173
01:39:09.079 --> 01:39:19.680
And as you become aware of your hands. I'm also

1174
01:39:20.039 --> 01:39:48.239
aware of how relaxed my hands our feeling now and

1175
01:39:48.399 --> 01:39:55.319
when it comes to potentially drifting off to sleep, which

1176
01:39:55.399 --> 01:40:09.520
may be the reason you're listening, I also feel drowsy

1177
01:40:11.760 --> 01:40:25.239
when I make these recordings. I also notice my mind drifting.

1178
01:40:33.159 --> 01:40:45.760
In fact, at times I've actually fallen asleep without even noticing,

1179
01:40:50.600 --> 01:40:59.720
and then I carry on talking. And it's only when

1180
01:41:00.119 --> 01:41:09.159
I listen back to do the editing I hear snoring,

1181
01:41:11.079 --> 01:41:18.359
and I think I don't remember snoring. I remember talking.

1182
01:41:21.439 --> 01:41:28.760
Snoring was a pick turned up. That's why I sound

1183
01:41:28.880 --> 01:41:40.119
like when I snore, I get really into the whole experience.

1184
01:41:48.039 --> 01:41:57.079
I don't know how you feel. How relaxed do you

1185
01:41:57.199 --> 01:42:08.159
feel in your feet, how relaxed you feel in your hands.

1186
01:42:23.199 --> 01:42:35.439
I have noticed more and more that the more relaxed,

1187
01:42:37.159 --> 01:42:59.720
deeper level of comfort you feel, the easier your breathing becomes,

1188
01:43:00.119 --> 01:43:16.359
almost like that additional muscle relaxation. So this allows you

1189
01:43:21.239 --> 01:43:47.880
debree easier without necessarily focusing on your breath. However, being

1190
01:43:47.920 --> 01:44:17.560
able to notice the ease in which you breathe so naturally,

1191
01:44:32.239 --> 01:45:14.920
you breeze so very easily and smoothly. Whenever I imagine my

1192
01:45:15.159 --> 01:45:31.520
breathing improving. When I've got my eyes closed, I tend

1193
01:45:31.600 --> 01:45:52.119
to visualize a beautiful field with trees and flowers producing

1194
01:45:52.239 --> 01:46:24.319
all that life giving oxygen. And it feels nice to,

1195
01:46:26.039 --> 01:46:46.560
if nothing else, just taking some time away from everything,

1196
01:46:56.319 --> 01:47:29.119
enjoying that feeling of peace, serenity with a joyful heart.

1197
01:47:54.199 --> 01:48:19.720
Time seems to just drip by, so very slowly, relaxed,

1198
01:48:25.600 --> 01:49:00.399
so deeply, peaceful, completely unattached to any thoughts. What's however,

1199
01:49:04.680 --> 01:50:07.880
in this moment, completely free, notice that your mind has

1200
01:50:07.920 --> 01:50:47.479
slowed down. Slowed down because nothing really requires your attention.

1201
01:51:03.920 --> 01:51:18.239
You can enjoy the physical sensations of allowing the stress

1202
01:51:18.560 --> 01:51:30.199
to drip out of your body, to appearing out of

1203
01:51:30.720 --> 01:52:00.119
every part of your body and being released from your brain.

1204
01:52:05.199 --> 01:52:40.439
Hung your mind slowly but surely, the muscles in your

1205
01:52:40.560 --> 01:53:32.840
legs relax rs res so very deeply, reacts so deeply,

1206
01:53:50.600 --> 01:54:00.760
and the feedings, the pleasant feelings in your arms, then shoulders,

1207
01:54:18.680 --> 01:54:43.199
deepening each part of your body further and deeper and deeper,

1208
01:54:57.720 --> 01:55:04.199
noticing mm hmm, the feelings on the back of your neck,

1209
01:55:27.359 --> 01:56:06.119
the feelings in your wrists, muscles in the front of

1210
01:56:06.199 --> 01:56:59.800
your body. I all say, feeling peaceful deeping. There's this

1211
01:57:00.119 --> 01:57:41.640
sense of peace spreads through your very cool even when

1212
01:57:41.760 --> 01:58:07.680
you focus on your mind, your mind because umus a

1213
01:58:08.479 --> 01:59:44.960
and slower, deeper, relaxing, so very slower. His stomach teast

1214
01:59:45.119 --> 02:00:27.640
fell in your stomach, your back. Notice, Notice how relaxed

1215
02:00:32.000 --> 02:01:09.960
you now feel in the hall of your back. In

1216
02:01:10.079 --> 02:01:19.119
a spy from your brain all the way down the

1217
02:01:19.159 --> 02:01:29.880
middle of your back, sending and receiving millions of messages

1218
02:01:30.600 --> 02:02:00.119
every day, deep coomfort increasing deeply relact.

1219
02:02:30.079 --> 02:02:30.399
Y me.

1220
02:03:00.960 --> 02:03:10.119
Spreading those signals down your spine or cord into air,

1221
02:03:10.520 --> 02:03:30.000
every part of your body, your shins and your calf, muscles,

1222
02:03:57.159 --> 02:04:26.640
your elbows, Feelings of peace and tranquility spreading through your body,

1223
02:04:31.640 --> 02:04:47.920
tips of your toes, to your eyes, your fingers, all

1224
02:04:47.920 --> 02:05:33.720
the way till you lower back. I'm letting her reading pace,

1225
02:05:49.520 --> 02:06:16.159
drifting mind, this wonder in a way, happy to let go,

1226
02:06:19.359 --> 02:07:20.680
let go completely, let go, so tranquil your whole body,

1227
02:07:25.000 --> 02:07:52.319
enjoying the sensor, listing God.

1228
02:07:56.840 --> 02:08:33.479
For more us.

1229
02:09:05.880 --> 02:09:52.039
Peace, enjoy the space, this space.

1230
02:09:54.520 --> 02:09:55.680
Of peace.

1231
02:09:58.800 --> 02:10:26.840
And safety. Fairy he.

1232
02:10:31.159 --> 02:11:25.079
Relaxed, discuss.

1233
02:12:01.800 --> 02:12:26.479
Letting go. Maybe we can just focus on the different

1234
02:12:26.880 --> 02:13:01.680
parts of your body, just to notice you forelhead and

1235
02:13:01.920 --> 02:14:08.359
your eyes Atu solas, noticing the sense of complete freedom,

1236
02:14:20.439 --> 02:16:11.520
absolute freedom, dress day dress day, He's fall energy paste

1237
02:16:12.039 --> 02:17:23.159
to breeze, such ease, Yeah, loose. You may have.

1238
02:17:26.760 --> 02:17:28.799
Or may not have noticed.

1239
02:17:33.079 --> 02:18:34.680
Your mind drifted, peaceful move ay even more deeply in

1240
02:18:34.840 --> 02:20:11.559
the direction of total blissful pace, blissful pace, total peace,

1241
02:20:36.239 --> 02:21:37.799
Colm so calm, letting go, peace of mind, rex body

1242
02:21:55.079 --> 02:21:57.319
so rex.

1243
02:22:05.440 --> 02:22:06.879
So relaxed.

1244
02:22:31.360 --> 02:23:04.639
A body feels almost invisible, so very relaxed and pasteful, so.

1245
02:23:12.360 --> 02:23:53.799
Ace like gods ace.

1246
02:24:12.280 --> 02:24:18.479
And you could start to notice that you are feeling

1247
02:24:18.879 --> 02:24:30.079
more relaxed, even though I've not purposely focused your mind

1248
02:24:31.079 --> 02:24:38.600
upon that sense of physical comfort that is growing within

1249
02:24:38.760 --> 02:24:47.879
you throughout your body, and your mind starts to slow down.

1250
02:24:52.840 --> 02:24:59.879
And that could be almost in recognition of I guess

1251
02:25:00.440 --> 02:25:12.879
my speech not being particularly fast, and things just generally

1252
02:25:14.600 --> 02:25:25.639
feel calmer. Just by listening to my voice, you give

1253
02:25:25.680 --> 02:25:32.600
yourself an opportunity to take a break from the day,

1254
02:25:34.760 --> 02:25:42.200
take a break from your life as it is, and

1255
02:25:42.360 --> 02:25:50.120
to give yourself a rest, giving yourself permission to take

1256
02:25:50.239 --> 02:25:55.760
some time off and to allow your body to relax

1257
02:25:57.479 --> 02:26:05.399
and allow your mind to slow down, which in turn

1258
02:26:08.040 --> 02:26:13.639
releases the tension, any stresses that you had in your body.

1259
02:26:19.639 --> 02:26:23.520
It's almost as if the parts of your body just

1260
02:26:23.799 --> 02:26:35.479
open up, allowing the negativity out and at the same

1261
02:26:35.639 --> 02:26:46.879
time replacing that negativity with positive heathing energy, which then

1262
02:26:47.079 --> 02:26:56.200
fills your body up and your mind to also starts

1263
02:26:56.399 --> 02:27:13.840
to appreciate those feelings of increasing confidence and almost uplifting feeling,

1264
02:27:15.920 --> 02:27:29.959
positive healing, an energy that spreads through your body like

1265
02:27:30.079 --> 02:27:40.319
a wave of comfort. And all this comes from just

1266
02:27:43.879 --> 02:27:52.680
allowing yourself a few minutes, maybe half an hour, however

1267
02:27:52.799 --> 02:27:57.360
long you want it to be, just rest.

1268
02:28:02.440 --> 02:28:03.399
And allow.

1269
02:28:05.600 --> 02:28:15.600
Your mind and your body to almost reset itself to

1270
02:28:16.280 --> 02:28:31.920
the settings of comfort and relaxation, calmness, which allows more

1271
02:28:32.079 --> 02:28:45.440
room for feelings of pleasure and happiness to move around

1272
02:28:45.760 --> 02:28:53.959
your body and into your mind, almost as if your

1273
02:28:54.079 --> 02:29:04.639
mind and your body are sinking together, almost mirroring each

1274
02:29:04.879 --> 02:29:18.200
other with that growing positivity and calmness. And it feels nice,

1275
02:29:20.799 --> 02:29:26.719
really does feel nice to know that you are the

1276
02:29:26.840 --> 02:29:40.239
one that has allowed yourself to feel more comfort than

1277
02:29:40.360 --> 02:29:43.000
to experience.

1278
02:29:44.719 --> 02:29:45.840
More of this.

1279
02:29:47.639 --> 02:30:02.799
Deep relaxation spreading throughout your body. And as I focus

1280
02:30:04.360 --> 02:30:10.120
on each part of your body, you can notice that

1281
02:30:10.319 --> 02:30:24.840
that part becomes even more relaxed just by focusing on it.

1282
02:30:27.399 --> 02:30:37.040
It becomes even more calm and comfortable, just by focusing.

1283
02:30:41.079 --> 02:30:46.840
And as I move down your body, starting at your head,

1284
02:30:49.559 --> 02:30:54.840
the parts that you have already focused on or continue

1285
02:30:56.200 --> 02:31:03.319
to relax deeply, and those parts that have not yet

1286
02:31:03.520 --> 02:31:16.399
focused on or just automatically release any remain intention in

1287
02:31:16.559 --> 02:31:30.799
anticipation of even more comfort about to come. Now, I'm

1288
02:31:30.799 --> 02:31:37.280
going to start by focusing on your forehead. Just being

1289
02:31:37.440 --> 02:31:46.079
aware of the feelings of your forehead and any background

1290
02:31:46.360 --> 02:31:53.440
sounds like mister Herbert's opinion, can just allow you to

1291
02:31:53.639 --> 02:32:00.879
feel even more relaxed. Just means you in the moment,

1292
02:32:04.000 --> 02:32:09.360
this isn't this isn't a sterile environment. This is the world.

1293
02:32:12.799 --> 02:32:18.840
I live in the countryside, so there's lots of nature

1294
02:32:19.399 --> 02:32:29.879
sounds around. So as you focus on your forehead, just

1295
02:32:30.159 --> 02:32:37.920
notice how it becomes even more relaxed as you focus

1296
02:32:40.239 --> 02:32:44.680
only on my voice and that part of your body.

1297
02:32:49.920 --> 02:32:58.159
Moving down to your eyes, focusing on your eyes, noticing

1298
02:33:00.639 --> 02:33:10.360
how your eyelids feel so heavy yet so light at

1299
02:33:10.399 --> 02:33:16.879
the same time, and all the muscles around your eyes

1300
02:33:17.120 --> 02:33:31.520
relaxing completely. Moving your focus down to your mouth, your lips,

1301
02:33:32.000 --> 02:33:38.920
your tongue, your teeth, your comes, the hole of your

1302
02:33:39.040 --> 02:33:54.440
mouth relaxing, calm and loose as you focus now on

1303
02:33:54.639 --> 02:34:02.200
your jaw, just the parts of your jaw ney, your mouth,

1304
02:34:03.040 --> 02:34:07.360
and your chin, but all the way up the size

1305
02:34:07.399 --> 02:34:14.239
of your face to your ears, the hole of your jaw,

1306
02:34:16.879 --> 02:34:23.959
feeding more relaxed.

1307
02:34:27.360 --> 02:34:28.120
And calm.

1308
02:34:36.319 --> 02:34:45.360
Focusing on your neck, the front of your neck and

1309
02:34:45.520 --> 02:34:58.520
your throat relaxing and loose and calm. The sides of

1310
02:34:58.639 --> 02:35:03.879
your neck, the right and left side of your neck

1311
02:35:06.799 --> 02:35:10.319
relax and please.

1312
02:35:14.040 --> 02:35:14.760
And calm.

1313
02:35:21.159 --> 02:35:27.840
And now the back of your neck. Focusing on the

1314
02:35:28.120 --> 02:35:38.559
back of your neck, letting go of any tension that

1315
02:35:38.760 --> 02:35:47.600
may have been there before, and enjoying that sense of

1316
02:35:48.639 --> 02:35:59.239
increasing comfort and release. Thing you can experience in the

1317
02:35:59.399 --> 02:36:11.639
back of your neck. Moving down your back and moving

1318
02:36:11.920 --> 02:36:16.239
either side of your spine right from the top of

1319
02:36:16.360 --> 02:36:21.840
your back all the way down to the bottom of

1320
02:36:21.959 --> 02:36:39.399
your back. Down it's your lower back. Did you move

1321
02:36:39.639 --> 02:36:47.319
up and down your spine? You can feel the muscles

1322
02:36:48.319 --> 02:37:02.040
either side of your spine relaxing even more, and as

1323
02:37:02.120 --> 02:37:09.280
those muscles relax, that sense of comfort starts to spread

1324
02:37:10.879 --> 02:37:19.200
outwards from your spine into both sides of your back.

1325
02:37:23.000 --> 02:37:26.680
The top of your back the middle and your lower back.

1326
02:37:30.239 --> 02:37:37.360
And as you scan gently and slowly up and down

1327
02:37:37.559 --> 02:37:42.600
your back, there's the muscles in the top of your

1328
02:37:42.719 --> 02:37:52.680
back relax and become looser. The muscles in the middle

1329
02:37:52.719 --> 02:38:00.479
of your back also seem to just almost divide each other,

1330
02:38:01.479 --> 02:38:17.680
separating and almost melting. And in your lower back there

1331
02:38:17.799 --> 02:38:30.440
seems to be an extra special feeling of comfort. The

1332
02:38:30.799 --> 02:38:37.120
spreads into your hips. Sit down your lower back, into

1333
02:38:37.159 --> 02:38:48.479
your hips, into the area where your cosix are, and

1334
02:38:48.600 --> 02:38:57.559
into your buttocks, and all those muscles that spread from

1335
02:38:57.600 --> 02:39:07.079
your lower back into your hip area start to melt,

1336
02:39:11.559 --> 02:39:23.840
start to reading, let go, and you know where about

1337
02:39:24.000 --> 02:39:30.000
to focus on your shoulders. Your back and your spine

1338
02:39:31.040 --> 02:39:41.319
will continue to let go, continue to relax.

1339
02:39:44.280 --> 02:39:47.799
So calmly.

1340
02:39:52.479 --> 02:39:57.440
And as you focus on your shoulders, you may notice

1341
02:39:57.879 --> 02:40:29.200
they're already feeling really loose, They're already feeding calm. I fear.

1342
02:40:33.520 --> 02:40:41.799
Those muscles then move from your neck into your shoulders

1343
02:40:48.360 --> 02:41:17.799
feel so soft and gentle, so smooth and calm, and

1344
02:41:18.000 --> 02:41:30.799
the feeling in your shoulders seems to spread deep into

1345
02:41:30.920 --> 02:41:41.319
your shoulders, a sense of relaxation, not just traveling deeply

1346
02:41:41.680 --> 02:41:58.719
into your muscles, but also relaxing the bones and moving

1347
02:41:58.799 --> 02:42:07.079
all the way to underneath your arms, relaxing a whole

1348
02:42:07.280 --> 02:42:12.239
area between the tops of your shoulders and underneath your

1349
02:42:12.440 --> 02:42:32.200
arms healing. You feel so relaxed and comfortable in your shoulders,

1350
02:42:35.760 --> 02:42:37.079
which sense that.

1351
02:42:39.319 --> 02:42:41.319
Deep healing.

1352
02:42:44.360 --> 02:43:01.840
Message into your arms. You may feel almost as if

1353
02:43:01.920 --> 02:43:03.040
your arms are.

1354
02:43:03.040 --> 02:43:03.840
Not even that.

1355
02:43:05.520 --> 02:43:22.000
Because the sun relaxed, so deeply, relaxed, so.

1356
02:43:26.200 --> 02:43:42.639
So calm, so.

1357
02:43:57.079 --> 02:44:08.200
Not feelings spreading all way down your arms to elbows,

1358
02:44:12.040 --> 02:44:28.520
including your elbows circumfort spreads.

1359
02:44:32.559 --> 02:44:33.319
Your way.

1360
02:44:35.879 --> 02:44:54.879
Into wrists, your forearments, and your wrists so heavy. It's

1361
02:44:55.000 --> 02:45:35.879
at the same time sunlight and gentle f same.

1362
02:45:38.280 --> 02:45:39.280
Now on.

1363
02:45:41.959 --> 02:46:12.000
Your hands, my hands, so.

1364
02:46:13.319 --> 02:46:36.559
Peaceful in your hands, the sense of.

1365
02:46:40.040 --> 02:46:41.879
Real pace.

1366
02:46:53.559 --> 02:47:08.040

CCLM love that deep relaxation.

1378
02:55:57.760 --> 02:56:15.200
To spread the chess, let it go.

1379
02:56:19.319 --> 02:56:20.000
Everything.

1380
02:56:31.280 --> 02:56:36.680
So I'm going to start counting down now from twenty

1381
02:56:37.040 --> 02:56:45.200
down to one. You can imagine in a way it's

1382
02:56:45.399 --> 02:56:51.520
like just walking down some steps and each step or

1383
02:56:51.680 --> 02:56:57.680
twenty steps, and each step represents a level of comfort.

1384
02:57:01.159 --> 02:57:16.520
Each step represents a deepening of that comfort and the

1385
02:57:16.719 --> 02:57:22.440
furvies you walk down those steps to a deeper and

1386
02:57:22.639 --> 02:59:18.600
more relaxed you feel. So starting with number twenty twenty, nineteen, eighteen, seven, ten,

1387
03:00:05.000 --> 03:04:11.840
sixteenhhhhhhhhh three four four two we.

1388
03:06:31.600 --> 03:11:27.799
Nohhhhhhhh eight si most unusus.

1389
03:11:07.639 --> 03:12:23.600
Six five.

1390
03:13:42.280 --> 03:15:24.440
Four stately.

1391
03:14:46.399 --> 03:18:09.280
Continu usus.

1392
03:17:20.639 --> 03:17:20.879
One.

1393
03:18:10.479 --> 03:18:11.159
And now.

1394
03:18:15.559 --> 03:18:28.159
As you focus on your eyes, we're gonna count down

1395
03:18:28.600 --> 03:18:44.360
from ten douts one, focusing just on your eyes, your eyelids,

1396
03:18:44.799 --> 03:18:53.559
the muscles around your eyes, your eye walls themselves, a

1397
03:18:53.760 --> 03:19:10.639
whole area that makes up your eye. And as we

1398
03:19:10.920 --> 03:19:20.200
count down ten down to one, whilst focusing on your eyes,

1399
03:19:26.559 --> 03:19:37.440
you'll become twice is relaxed with each number counting down

1400
03:19:41.559 --> 03:19:48.520
that you may find the on you want to do

1401
03:19:49.000 --> 03:19:57.959
is just drift off to sleep. And if that's what

1402
03:19:58.239 --> 03:20:10.760
you want, then just allow yourself to do that. Now,

1403
03:20:13.760 --> 03:20:20.360
focusing on your eyes, I'm going to begin counting down.

1404
03:20:21.639 --> 03:21:38.479
From ten down to one right now, ten nine eight.

1405
03:22:23.760 --> 03:25:53.280
Seven four.

1406
03:27:00.360 --> 03:29:53.600
Three one. So count down from ten to one ten

1407
03:29:55.559 --> 03:30:24.719
nine eight seven six five four three two one. And

1408
03:30:24.920 --> 03:30:28.280
maybe that was a bit too quick in order to relax.

1409
03:30:29.479 --> 03:30:33.719
Maybe it's a bit too fast for you to notice

1410
03:30:34.000 --> 03:30:42.079
the calming of your body, maybe even a little bit

1411
03:30:42.120 --> 03:30:46.200
of pressure. They're like, you're counted down from ten to one.

1412
03:30:46.319 --> 03:30:49.719
Would you expect me to do? Man, expect me to

1413
03:30:49.719 --> 03:30:53.719
just to go with floppy just because you're counting down.

1414
03:30:59.319 --> 03:31:02.719
I could try game, but this time I'll go a

1415
03:31:02.760 --> 03:31:10.159
bit slower this time, as you focus on the whole

1416
03:31:10.239 --> 03:31:16.479
of your body before we focus on your legs. Just

1417
03:31:16.760 --> 03:31:26.719
notice how your body does start to feel more relaxed

1418
03:31:31.479 --> 03:32:06.319
with every number that I count down ten nine at eight, seven, six,

1419
03:32:14.719 --> 03:33:23.799
five four three one, And just notice how how you

1420
03:33:23.920 --> 03:33:34.159
feel generally, how your body feels. It's not necessarily even

1421
03:33:34.239 --> 03:33:45.079
about counting down from ten to one. It's that space

1422
03:33:46.159 --> 03:34:04.600
that you have, that space between being active physically or

1423
03:34:04.680 --> 03:34:14.159
mentally to just sitting or lying down, just being there,

1424
03:34:14.879 --> 03:34:20.319
not doing anything, not saying anything, or needing to think

1425
03:34:20.440 --> 03:34:26.319
about anything. So it opens up a space, you know,

1426
03:34:26.520 --> 03:34:35.840
a bit of a space, a gap. And the more

1427
03:34:37.159 --> 03:34:40.479
I came down from ten to one, the bigger that

1428
03:34:40.680 --> 03:34:51.680
gap becomes. So there's that gap of calmness, of comfort, relaxation.

1429
03:34:57.639 --> 03:35:09.959
It's a nice feeling, and it moves those stresses or

1430
03:35:10.520 --> 03:35:24.360
discomforts physically or emotionally, moves them away. Allows you.

1431
03:35:27.079 --> 03:35:27.600
To just.

1432
03:35:30.559 --> 03:35:36.879
Slow down, someone to count the game from ten down

1433
03:35:36.920 --> 03:35:46.920
to one and notice that gap widening, the gap, And

1434
03:35:47.040 --> 03:35:51.479
as it widens, it's almost like that the stress and

1435
03:35:51.639 --> 03:36:12.440
attention falls into the gap. Give you that distance, that space.

1436
03:36:14.399 --> 03:36:19.799
Now ten.

1437
03:36:24.200 --> 03:38:21.200
Nine, eight, seven, six, five, four three one. Now, how

1438
03:38:21.280 --> 03:38:24.799
did your body feel?

1439
03:38:27.040 --> 03:38:27.200
Now?

1440
03:38:39.920 --> 03:38:52.559
Can you notice that? Do you feeling calmer, the feeling

1441
03:38:54.920 --> 03:39:22.319
more relaxed as we now focus on your legs, just

1442
03:39:22.479 --> 03:39:43.840
your legs. We're just gonna start with focusing on your thighs.

1443
03:39:58.680 --> 03:40:02.639
Of course, it's not the most exciting thing to be

1444
03:40:02.760 --> 03:40:09.959
doing because I'm sure like most of your body is

1445
03:40:10.079 --> 03:40:22.200
not a lot going on right now. Just focusing on

1446
03:40:22.360 --> 03:40:27.719
the whole of your thighs, the tops of your thighs,

1447
03:40:28.559 --> 03:40:33.879
the sides of your thighs, the bottoms of your thighs,

1448
03:40:35.360 --> 03:40:40.840
your outer thighs, and your inner thighs basically the whole

1449
03:40:40.920 --> 03:40:48.399
of your thigh that leads into your hip and it

1450
03:40:48.520 --> 03:40:59.239
goes down to your knee joints. Now, this is a

1451
03:40:59.319 --> 03:41:07.719
big area. It's a very heavy area. It's very strong,

1452
03:41:08.959 --> 03:41:13.959
probably the strongest muscles in your body or in your thighs.

1453
03:41:24.159 --> 03:41:31.840
But I don't think we perhaps give enough attention to

1454
03:41:32.079 --> 03:41:45.799
our thighs. Perhaps we don't acknowledge how important our thighs

1455
03:41:46.040 --> 03:42:05.840
are to our lives, how much they actually do for

1456
03:42:06.000 --> 03:42:19.719
us all through our lives. And it may seem to

1457
03:42:19.840 --> 03:42:25.000
sound really weird, but I think that all of our

1458
03:42:25.040 --> 03:42:35.879
body parts, especially our thighs, need some TLC, a bit

1459
03:42:35.959 --> 03:42:52.719
of love shown, a bit of acknowledgement, thank you, gratitude

1460
03:42:55.680 --> 03:43:04.719
for our thighs do for us. And I know this

1461
03:43:05.000 --> 03:43:10.920
may sound a bit strange. Maybe you think, why am

1462
03:43:10.959 --> 03:43:14.440
I shure? How should be out in the garden hugging

1463
03:43:14.520 --> 03:43:22.440
a tree or something. Well, it's hard to set a

1464
03:43:22.520 --> 03:43:26.200
microphone up on a tree. That's why I'm doing this indoors.

1465
03:43:26.239 --> 03:43:30.000
Otherwise I wouldn't be outside hugging a tree. I can't

1466
03:43:30.040 --> 03:43:31.360
see the television.

1467
03:43:30.920 --> 03:43:31.399
From the tree.

1468
03:43:38.120 --> 03:43:42.360
If you move down to your knees, gain such an

1469
03:43:42.440 --> 03:43:52.159
important part and I think we don't necessarily I'll speak

1470
03:43:52.239 --> 03:43:59.520
for myself here. I don't necessarily appreciate all that I

1471
03:43:59.719 --> 03:44:04.920
need do for me until I have a problem with

1472
03:44:05.040 --> 03:44:10.159
my knee. It's occasionally, if I ever, maybe i'll bash it,

1473
03:44:10.479 --> 03:44:16.280
or it's aching for some reason. It's then that I

1474
03:44:16.479 --> 03:44:21.959
realize how much it does. You know, the benefit of

1475
03:44:22.079 --> 03:44:29.520
being able to use my legs without any kind of

1476
03:44:29.680 --> 03:44:38.000
physical discomfort is a beautiful thing that's possibly not appreciated

1477
03:44:38.159 --> 03:44:49.200
until it's temporarily removed. You know that's comfort. But as

1478
03:44:49.200 --> 03:44:54.559
you focus on your knees, regardless of how your knees feel,

1479
03:44:57.680 --> 03:45:03.399
you can have that sense of gratitude and love to

1480
03:45:03.520 --> 03:45:16.120
your knees for all that they do for you, and

1481
03:45:16.280 --> 03:45:20.280
you can still have that attention on your thighs. Maybe

1482
03:45:20.479 --> 03:45:26.760
notice how your thighs feel. Maybe you've noticed that they

1483
03:45:27.639 --> 03:45:45.440
are relaxing more deeply as you focus now on the

1484
03:45:45.520 --> 03:45:49.920
bottoms of your legs, your shins and your calf muscles.

1485
03:45:50.440 --> 03:45:58.120
The bones between your knees and your feet incorporate, and

1486
03:45:58.200 --> 03:46:09.120
of course your ankles so important. You know, anyone that's

1487
03:46:09.200 --> 03:46:15.239
had even like the slightest sprain of an ankle knows

1488
03:46:15.520 --> 03:46:27.440
how how much we take our ankles for granted, and

1489
03:46:27.559 --> 03:46:29.879
it's kind of strange in a way when you think that.

1490
03:46:32.399 --> 03:46:36.399
You know, logically, our wrists are a lot thinner than

1491
03:46:36.520 --> 03:46:40.600
the rest of our arms, which is okay, it doesn't

1492
03:46:41.120 --> 03:46:44.159
I can't see any problem with that because we're just

1493
03:46:44.319 --> 03:46:52.040
picking stuff up. Our ankles so much thinner than the

1494
03:46:52.120 --> 03:47:02.399
rest of our legs, and from a physics perspective or

1495
03:47:02.520 --> 03:47:06.680
logical even it doesn't really make sense that all this

1496
03:47:06.959 --> 03:47:15.760
weight would ultimately be resting on your ankles then leading

1497
03:47:15.799 --> 03:47:28.719
to your feet, that thin area, thin bone. Yeah, it

1498
03:47:28.959 --> 03:47:34.799
does so much great work. Supports us, supports our body

1499
03:47:36.079 --> 03:47:46.600
for a lifetime, helps us to balance, helps.

1500
03:47:46.319 --> 03:47:46.639
You to.

1501
03:47:50.600 --> 03:47:59.799
Get around and be mobile. And there's a carved muscles.

1502
03:47:59.799 --> 03:48:07.479
Of course, when I was younger, I couldn't see the

1503
03:48:07.559 --> 03:48:13.879
pointing calf muscles. Didn't seem to do anything. Okay, if

1504
03:48:13.920 --> 03:48:17.479
I walked around on tiptoes, then my calf muscles get

1505
03:48:17.559 --> 03:48:21.280
some work. But of course that's not true. The calf

1506
03:48:21.399 --> 03:48:31.000
muscles are being used whenever we use the legs and

1507
03:48:31.159 --> 03:48:43.680
your shins there to protect your lower legs, shaped in

1508
03:48:43.760 --> 03:48:56.319
a way almost as a protector for the bone, leading

1509
03:48:57.719 --> 03:49:08.079
of course to your ankles and your feet, but we're

1510
03:49:08.120 --> 03:49:10.040
not going to focus on your feet. We're just going

1511
03:49:10.079 --> 03:49:16.440
to focus on the legs. I realize, and now that

1512
03:49:16.600 --> 03:49:21.000
I've mentioned your feet, you'll probably focusing on them anyway,

1513
03:49:21.559 --> 03:49:24.120
So maybe I should focus on your feet a little bit.

1514
03:49:28.159 --> 03:49:32.559
You can have them in your awareness the same as

1515
03:49:32.639 --> 03:49:37.000
you have your thighs in your awareness. Even though we

1516
03:49:37.120 --> 03:49:43.079
haven't been focusing on your thighs a few minutes, I've

1517
03:49:43.079 --> 03:49:54.000
been focusing on your ankles, there's still that sensation of

1518
03:49:57.200 --> 03:50:10.000
comfort in your thighs, and there's that movement of energy

1519
03:50:12.040 --> 03:50:19.079
because the thighs hold lots of different sensations. Of course,

1520
03:50:19.159 --> 03:50:23.920
there's the muscles, the big straw muscles that we have

1521
03:50:24.120 --> 03:50:37.440
in our thighs. But the skin on the outside of

1522
03:50:37.520 --> 03:50:42.840
the thighs, as in the outside of all of our body,

1523
03:50:43.639 --> 03:50:55.239
can be very sensitive, sensitive to the touch, sensitive to temperature,

1524
03:51:01.760 --> 03:51:09.319
and inside your thighs the bones, there's the muscle, there's

1525
03:51:09.360 --> 03:51:14.120
the blood, vessels, the ar trees to all this stuff

1526
03:51:14.239 --> 03:51:23.360
that's inside your thighs. I guess sometimes it'd be nice

1527
03:51:23.360 --> 03:51:27.680
if you could actually put your fingers inside your thighs

1528
03:51:28.319 --> 03:51:34.280
and message, so you can message on the outside, of course,

1529
03:51:35.079 --> 03:51:37.399
but to be able to get deep into the muscles

1530
03:51:38.280 --> 03:51:42.200
and to be able to just message inside your thighs,

1531
03:51:43.079 --> 03:51:51.520
message in the bones of your leg massage in all

1532
03:51:51.600 --> 03:52:02.360
the veins, just gently heaving your thighs, and you can

1533
03:52:02.520 --> 03:52:09.440
move down message and inside your knees. Just message in

1534
03:52:09.520 --> 03:52:16.879
those bones, but with healing fingertips, spreading that healing energy

1535
03:52:17.639 --> 03:52:27.399
deep into the choice of your knees. Of course, there's

1536
03:52:27.440 --> 03:52:31.319
the back of your your need, you know, the inside

1537
03:52:31.520 --> 03:52:37.639
crease where your need is. It's a very sensitive area.

1538
03:52:39.559 --> 03:52:44.000
Three it feels very nice when you stroke it. That

1539
03:52:44.159 --> 03:52:47.879
might be because it's an area that's not really touched

1540
03:52:48.079 --> 03:52:54.639
very often. It's almost like a hidden part, that crease

1541
03:52:56.760 --> 03:53:03.200
in your legs. It's almost like a part that has

1542
03:53:03.280 --> 03:53:14.280
a sensitivity, which is a little bit different. Of course,

1543
03:53:14.319 --> 03:53:24.840
it's protected by your legs. So you can imagine putting

1544
03:53:25.719 --> 03:53:35.559
your fingers into that crease in your legs forward in

1545
03:53:35.680 --> 03:53:39.600
between your legs. You can just message with your fingertips.

1546
03:53:40.840 --> 03:53:47.600
Imagine your fingertips going inside, massage in the muscle or tissue.

1547
03:53:52.200 --> 03:53:56.440
You can of course feel the bones of your knees

1548
03:53:57.959 --> 03:54:08.399
heading through your fingertips, and then as you go down

1549
03:54:11.280 --> 03:54:14.079
to your calf muscles and that's the part. I'd like

1550
03:54:14.159 --> 03:54:18.879
to be able to really put my fingertips deep inside

1551
03:54:19.639 --> 03:54:28.559
my calf muscles, massage in every single tissue of that muscle,

1552
03:54:30.159 --> 03:54:40.079
healing every part, and then doing the same for my shins,

1553
03:54:43.280 --> 03:54:51.479
massage in generally stroking the bones, generally stroking them, healing

1554
03:54:51.680 --> 03:54:55.799
in a loving way, because they deserve to be treated.

1555
03:54:58.840 --> 03:55:03.120
There's the precious that they are, because our legs are

1556
03:55:03.159 --> 03:55:06.959
so precious as in all the other parts of our body,

1557
03:55:09.479 --> 03:55:23.360
the more precious of any jure on the planet. When

1558
03:55:23.399 --> 03:55:31.159
you start to think about your legs in this way,

1559
03:55:35.760 --> 03:55:42.399
it can change your perspective. It might sound a bit

1560
03:55:45.479 --> 03:55:49.799
a bit silly to start with the idea of having

1561
03:55:50.680 --> 03:56:00.680
love for your legs, showing appreciation for your thighs, wanting

1562
03:56:00.840 --> 03:56:04.719
to be able to put your hands in your thighs,

1563
03:56:06.959 --> 03:56:13.319
massage the muscles and the bones, and to get your

1564
03:56:13.440 --> 03:56:21.920
fingers deep in there, releasing all tension, just to show

1565
03:56:23.840 --> 03:56:31.159
how much you care about your legs, how much you

1566
03:56:31.319 --> 03:56:39.879
care for what your legs do for you regularly, your knees,

1567
03:56:40.120 --> 03:56:52.959
your calves, your ankles, the strength of your ankles, considering

1568
03:56:53.200 --> 03:56:57.680
how thin they are compared to the rest of your legs,

1569
03:56:57.840 --> 03:57:11.479
especially your thighs. Yeah, they're so strong, so flexible, absolutely

1570
03:57:11.760 --> 03:57:23.559
amazing things. Your ankles are truly a gift because of

1571
03:57:23.639 --> 03:57:34.840
what they do for you, supporting all that weight, regardless

1572
03:57:35.000 --> 03:57:39.000
of how what weight you are, even if you only

1573
03:57:39.040 --> 03:57:43.799
eat eight stone, there's still a lot of weight for

1574
03:57:43.959 --> 03:57:53.280
these little ankles. How a lot heavier than eystone double down.

1575
03:57:56.760 --> 03:58:05.600
Yet my ankles support my body all the time. What

1576
03:58:05.799 --> 03:58:08.680
they do give off a sigh of relief when I

1577
03:58:08.799 --> 03:58:16.760
sit down. That's I've had my whole legs thick h

1578
03:58:17.399 --> 03:58:24.760
my feet feet or so go, my toes clap so happy.

1579
03:58:44.559 --> 03:58:53.760
Your legs really are amazing. I don't know there talking

1580
03:58:53.840 --> 03:58:59.879
about talking about your legs is probably possibly in my

1581
03:59:01.440 --> 03:59:08.959
most boring things you've ever heard anyone say. Possibly you're

1582
03:59:09.079 --> 03:59:15.920
boring or not. Everything I said is true. Your legs

1583
03:59:16.559 --> 03:59:36.559
are amazing. Your legs deserve not just respect, They deserve

1584
03:59:36.680 --> 03:59:49.120
to relax deeply. They deserve to take some time out

1585
03:59:49.639 --> 04:00:12.600
of the day to just let go completely. H Your

1586
04:00:12.760 --> 04:00:31.840
legs really can relax because the legs are so such

1587
04:00:31.879 --> 04:00:36.399
a most you know, very important part of your body.

1588
04:00:37.680 --> 04:00:40.280
When you relax your legs, the rest of your body

1589
04:00:40.959 --> 04:00:59.639
also naturally follows in that journey of comfort like a

1590
04:00:59.760 --> 04:01:08.079
few in my hips. My hips feel really loose, and

1591
04:01:08.280 --> 04:01:13.159
also my lower back as well. My lower back really

1592
04:01:13.920 --> 04:01:18.520
feels it feels stretched, even though I'm just sitting in

1593
04:01:18.600 --> 04:01:24.680
a chair and there's no stretching as far as I'm

1594
04:01:24.680 --> 04:01:28.159
aware that I'm doing. It's almost as if the muscles

1595
04:01:28.200 --> 04:01:33.079
are just relaxed so much that there is a natural stretch.

1596
04:01:34.559 --> 04:01:56.920
As the tension has reduced a lot. And I'm now

1597
04:01:57.040 --> 04:02:04.520
going to count down from ten down to one. You

1598
04:02:04.639 --> 04:02:33.920
can continue to fill wonderfully relaxed ten nine eight seven six, five.

1599
04:02:38.319 --> 04:02:42.479
Four three.

1600
04:02:46.239 --> 04:02:51.159
Two one.

1601
04:02:57.200 --> 04:02:57.840
Relax.

1602
04:03:05.680 --> 04:03:09.520
So I'm just going to count down from five down

1603
04:03:09.600 --> 04:03:14.040
to one. And as I countdown, if you just focus

1604
04:03:14.159 --> 04:03:22.079
on the numbers, just the numbers counting down, and notice

1605
04:03:23.000 --> 04:03:31.000
how you feel in this moment as you hear the

1606
04:03:31.120 --> 04:03:39.200
numbers counting down, knowing that those numbers counting down represent

1607
04:03:40.200 --> 04:03:49.200
you feeling calmer, not just in your body, but also

1608
04:03:51.479 --> 04:03:58.639
relaxing your mind. Just notice how you feel. There's nothing

1609
04:03:59.360 --> 04:04:04.680
to do, there's nothing to say, there's nothing to think about,

1610
04:04:07.760 --> 04:04:40.840
starting with number five, four three two.

1611
04:04:46.719 --> 04:04:46.959
One.

1612
04:04:56.399 --> 04:05:02.840
How as you notice the gradual.

1613
04:05:05.079 --> 04:05:05.639
Letting go.

1614
04:05:08.200 --> 04:05:15.280
The tension in your body, you may also begin to

1615
04:05:15.600 --> 04:05:22.879
notice and be aware of how your mind is starting

1616
04:05:23.319 --> 04:05:31.280
to slow down. This is just a natural thing that happens.

1617
04:05:33.920 --> 04:05:39.120
It's not really a special procedure. It's just natural because

1618
04:05:39.200 --> 04:05:45.079
as your body relaxes, your mind also starts to relax,

1619
04:05:46.680 --> 04:05:50.319
and the more your mind relaxes, the more your body relaxes.

1620
04:05:50.479 --> 04:06:00.959
It's just a continuous circle of relaxation. And there's that

1621
04:06:02.239 --> 04:06:10.120
calmness that comes from relative quietness. You know, even even

1622
04:06:10.159 --> 04:06:17.120
if this background sounds either your side online is still

1623
04:06:17.600 --> 04:06:22.879
going to be quite calm. You know, you haven't got

1624
04:06:22.920 --> 04:06:28.079
the television on, there's no music in the background, unless

1625
04:06:28.120 --> 04:06:35.559
you're listening to the recorded with music. Of course, you're

1626
04:06:35.719 --> 04:06:37.840
very likely not going to be sitting in a room

1627
04:06:37.879 --> 04:06:42.440
with other people. Of course you might be, but generally

1628
04:06:42.600 --> 04:06:45.760
it's more ideal if you can do this on your own,

1629
04:06:47.479 --> 04:06:57.520
so no distractions, and when you stop thinking about stuff,

1630
04:07:04.120 --> 04:07:14.399
relaxation automatically rises. A sense of comfort starts to grow,

1631
04:07:18.879 --> 04:07:25.559
and without trying to build it up into something fantastical

1632
04:07:26.000 --> 04:07:37.719
or something magical, this is just a natural process, something

1633
04:07:37.879 --> 04:07:48.840
that's easy to accomplish. In fact, it's almost the sense

1634
04:07:48.959 --> 04:07:55.760
of relaxing completely happens really when you put no effort

1635
04:07:56.120 --> 04:07:59.840
into it. It's not something that you can really fall

1636
04:08:02.719 --> 04:08:12.000
is something that happens naturally. And part of the process

1637
04:08:12.399 --> 04:08:23.600
of this recording and others is simply two allow you

1638
04:08:26.000 --> 04:08:36.840
to take advantage of this space this time, to just

1639
04:08:41.040 --> 04:08:48.600
let go, to just be here, to be in tune

1640
04:08:52.280 --> 04:09:04.680
with how you feel. Yet the intention of wanting to

1641
04:09:05.719 --> 04:09:17.040
relax deeply, that maybe even to fall asleep, depending on

1642
04:09:17.600 --> 04:09:23.959
what it is that you wish for yourself in this moment.

1643
04:09:30.959 --> 04:09:40.280
As we know, relaxing is the majority of the process

1644
04:09:40.440 --> 04:09:45.600
of falling asleep. The actual falling asleep part is the

1645
04:09:45.760 --> 04:09:53.520
tiny bit at the end. The deeper relaxed you become,

1646
04:09:57.479 --> 04:10:15.159
the easier you find yourself drifting. But you can also

1647
04:10:15.319 --> 04:10:25.360
if you choose stay focused on my voice and really

1648
04:10:25.879 --> 04:10:55.559
enjoy the process, gradually relaxing each muscle in your body

1649
04:11:00.639 --> 04:11:29.760
effortlessly and just observing the sensation of letting go completely.

1650
04:11:35.799 --> 04:11:39.840
This time, I'm going to count from six down to one.

1651
04:11:45.000 --> 04:11:48.360
You can notice your mind.

1652
04:11:50.600 --> 04:11:58.360
Calming down more with each number that you hear me

1653
04:11:58.639 --> 04:14:46.559
say naturally, four, calm, s peaceful, six, five, four, three, four,

1654
04:15:07.760 --> 04:15:17.319
being aware of how your mind has slowed right down,

1655
04:15:20.600 --> 04:15:43.959
sinking deeply into relaxation. As you focus on your mind,

1656
04:15:47.840 --> 04:15:57.120
may notice that there are some thoughts still there, maybe

1657
04:15:57.280 --> 04:16:07.040
some stubborn thoughts that for some reason perhaps need your attention.

1658
04:16:13.959 --> 04:16:15.440
That's what you can do is.

1659
04:16:20.879 --> 04:16:28.639
Send love to those thoughts. Sprinkle those thoughts.

1660
04:16:32.840 --> 04:16:33.600
With love.

1661
04:16:35.120 --> 04:16:39.319
My door petals from a flower. Just sprinkle over them,

1662
04:16:40.799 --> 04:16:47.920
petals feel good love towards those thoughts, to let those

1663
04:16:48.159 --> 04:16:54.559
thoughts know that you're not abandon the number. You just

1664
04:16:55.079 --> 04:17:05.120
need them. You require them to just calm down, slow down,

1665
04:17:07.440 --> 04:17:22.319
quiet down for now. So as you focus on those

1666
04:17:23.079 --> 04:17:27.959
remaining thoughts as we count down this time from seven

1667
04:17:28.879 --> 04:17:37.559
down to one. With each number, just imagine sprinkling those

1668
04:17:37.799 --> 04:17:57.239
flower petals of love, kindness, gratitude over those thoughts, which

1669
04:17:57.280 --> 04:18:07.479
will allow them to just not away relaxed deeply. With

1670
04:18:07.639 --> 04:18:21.840
every number, those thoughts would become more and more relaxed,

1671
04:18:27.440 --> 04:21:04.280
starting with number seven, six, five, four four. Now, notice

1672
04:21:04.520 --> 04:21:25.159
how relaxed your feeling in your body. We got to

1673
04:21:25.639 --> 04:21:39.639
focus on your hands, because the more relaxed your hands are,

1674
04:21:42.000 --> 04:22:03.680
the more relaxed your body and mind. This you focus

1675
04:22:04.000 --> 04:22:14.239
on your hands and your fingers. There's nothing needed to

1676
04:22:14.319 --> 04:22:20.040
be done. There's no clinching of fists. Or dance in

1677
04:22:20.200 --> 04:22:31.719
the fingers or anything like that. It's just noticing and

1678
04:22:32.079 --> 04:22:43.200
focusing on your hands, noticing the.

1679
04:22:43.239 --> 04:22:44.600
Early film.

1680
04:22:58.879 --> 04:23:09.319
Because the relaks your hands feel. I can't why your

1681
04:23:09.559 --> 04:23:27.680
mind feels a comforts you feel throughout your body. Jee

1682
04:23:30.159 --> 04:24:01.920
may have already noticed your mind is starting to draft.

1683
04:24:15.159 --> 04:24:29.760
Quick said, just on your hands and fingers, allowing them.

1684
04:24:30.760 --> 04:24:44.040
Cheat experience a real deepening of that relaxation in your

1685
04:24:44.239 --> 04:25:02.639
hands and fingers, more and more relaxed. With each number

1686
04:25:10.559 --> 04:25:24.319
from eight down to one. We can almost feel that healing,

1687
04:25:26.079 --> 04:25:46.440
relaxing energy spreading into your hands and fingers becoming relaxing

1688
04:25:49.559 --> 04:26:02.440
with each number you hear going down. I ate down

1689
04:26:03.239 --> 04:26:19.799
to one, to drift down, drifting again, sponsored wiz.

1690
04:26:23.840 --> 04:26:31.840
No i ate.

1691
04:27:09.479 --> 04:30:25.840
Seven, three, Just being here now, nothing to think about,

1692
04:30:27.600 --> 04:30:38.799
nothing to do, nothing to say, and everything just feels calm.

1693
04:30:43.760 --> 04:30:51.479
This is your natural state of being. This is how

1694
04:30:51.639 --> 04:30:58.200
you just normally feel when you take away all that

1695
04:30:58.680 --> 04:31:00.000
other stuff.

1696
04:31:02.079 --> 04:31:03.000
That we add.

1697
04:31:04.479 --> 04:31:07.239
And thinks like stress of worry had.

1698
04:31:10.120 --> 04:31:11.120
Over thick.

1699
04:31:13.719 --> 04:31:22.360
Some anxiety, tension generally thinking about some.

1700
04:31:24.760 --> 04:31:27.959
We take that away is what we do.

1701
04:31:28.719 --> 04:31:40.559
What we do now You left with a real sense

1702
04:31:41.159 --> 04:31:53.760
of disons which comes to you very quickly, because answerably,

1703
04:31:54.360 --> 04:32:07.600
it is just a feeling of feeling and comfort the

1704
04:32:07.760 --> 04:32:11.000
most as if you've got inside yourself and you've found

1705
04:32:11.719 --> 04:32:26.120
a special place where anything is peaceful, place Whee in

1706
04:32:26.280 --> 04:32:36.559
the film relaxed and you're actual sense of comfort the

1707
04:32:36.680 --> 04:32:46.920
place we can be here, we can accept yourself and

1708
04:32:47.360 --> 04:32:52.040
you are in the place where you are trying to

1709
04:32:54.239 --> 04:33:07.919
release anybody else, in place where you can actually not

1710
04:33:08.279 --> 04:33:13.479
just love yourself, but in some ways more importantly, you

1711
04:33:13.599 --> 04:33:30.520
can like yourself, appreciate who do you want, a sense

1712
04:33:30.639 --> 04:33:44.759
of gratitude in the air one around you. That's also

1713
04:33:44.880 --> 04:33:53.639
a place where you can actually feel the healing energy

1714
04:33:54.720 --> 04:34:08.200
soaking into your body. Healing energy soaking into your body,

1715
04:34:13.319 --> 04:34:22.720
A healing energy spreads through your veins, traveling too each

1716
04:34:24.159 --> 04:34:35.000
every single part of your body, and you start to

1717
04:34:35.159 --> 04:34:42.720
realize that actually a healing energy, it's not just entered

1718
04:34:42.759 --> 04:34:49.279
into your brain, it's become a part of your brain,

1719
04:34:54.240 --> 04:35:01.159
and the spinal fluid is now mixed with me the energy.

1720
04:35:06.159 --> 04:35:06.639
Not just.

1721
04:35:08.759 --> 04:35:15.240
Allowing you to feel so much more relaxed and healthy

1722
04:35:16.759 --> 04:35:27.560
in this moment, but also you start to realize that

1723
04:35:27.759 --> 04:35:39.000
actually what's happening now without a healing relaxing energy spreading

1724
04:35:39.400 --> 04:35:50.840
through your body. It's actually changing your life. It's actually

1725
04:35:52.159 --> 04:35:55.959
changing the way you're going to feel, not just now,

1726
04:35:57.759 --> 04:36:04.599
but tomorrow and the next day. As your health improves,

1727
04:36:08.200 --> 04:36:15.520
not just your physical health, but your mental health. Things

1728
04:36:15.919 --> 04:36:21.159
that used to bother you in the past, for some reason,

1729
04:36:22.360 --> 04:36:29.919
no longer have the effect that they used to because

1730
04:36:30.040 --> 04:36:41.680
something has changed deep within you. Maybe things that used

1731
04:36:41.759 --> 04:36:52.200
to cause you to feel anger no longer have that

1732
04:36:53.080 --> 04:37:02.200
power to control you they seem to be able to before.

1733
04:37:05.880 --> 04:37:16.680
As you realize that you're the one who decides what

1734
04:37:17.040 --> 04:37:28.720
affects you, You're the one who decides to feel relaxed

1735
04:37:29.560 --> 04:37:42.360
and can't when you choose to enjoy noticing these natural

1736
04:37:43.400 --> 04:37:56.720
developments a healing continue to grow and improve your life

1737
04:37:58.159 --> 04:38:09.959
day by day, including of course, your ability to relax

1738
04:38:10.599 --> 04:38:25.080
so much easier than sleep in it's the most natural

1739
04:38:25.319 --> 04:38:35.040
thing in the world to you because fall in the

1740
04:38:35.240 --> 04:38:42.119
sleep is something that you've done so many times.

1741
04:38:43.439 --> 04:38:49.040
In your life, and you know that you were born

1742
04:38:50.560 --> 04:38:52.319
as we all work with.

1743
04:38:52.959 --> 04:39:05.560
The ability to fall asleep naturally, more with that ability

1744
04:39:08.520 --> 04:39:22.759
to just drift off into a deep, healing sleep. Even

1745
04:39:22.840 --> 04:39:27.560
when we're kids, sometimes will fall asleep or we don't

1746
04:39:27.599 --> 04:39:33.599
even want to try to take and stay awake. Maybe

1747
04:39:33.680 --> 04:39:37.040
it's a birthday in the morning, though it's Christmas or

1748
04:39:37.880 --> 04:39:41.000
holiday or something we look forward to, don't want to

1749
04:39:41.040 --> 04:39:46.159
go to sleep. But the more we want to stay awake,

1750
04:39:48.360 --> 04:39:55.400
the more we just start to drift. And the more

1751
04:39:56.119 --> 04:40:00.959
you fight drifting. We try to stop yourself drifting asleep,

1752
04:40:03.080 --> 04:40:14.159
the depot and stronger that drifting becomes. Because we're born

1753
04:40:15.119 --> 04:40:21.000
not just with the need to relax deeply, but to

1754
04:40:21.200 --> 04:40:30.919
actually fall asleep. But it's out birth right, it's part

1755
04:40:30.919 --> 04:40:41.759
of our DNA, and sometimes as we get older in life,

1756
04:40:43.119 --> 04:40:54.759
perhaps at times we have forgotten the relaxing completely.

1757
04:40:56.520 --> 04:40:57.680
It's not only.

1758
04:40:58.880 --> 04:41:09.880
Wonderfully lessen experience, it's also really easy.

1759
04:41:21.240 --> 04:41:28.720
It's very very easy to let go because that's all

1760
04:41:28.799 --> 04:41:29.080
it is.

1761
04:41:29.279 --> 04:41:29.759
It's just.

1762
04:41:33.240 --> 04:41:44.680
Decided to let go. And when you press the play

1763
04:41:44.799 --> 04:41:55.000
button on my recordings, you have given permission from my

1764
04:41:55.279 --> 04:42:04.680
voice to reaction. When you burst that play button, you've

1765
04:42:04.759 --> 04:42:16.080
given me permission for my words to effect you in

1766
04:42:16.200 --> 04:42:32.919
a positive, only a positive way. Opening up your mind

1767
04:42:34.799 --> 04:42:45.400
to useful and healing suggestions.

1768
04:42:49.959 --> 04:42:50.599
They can have.

1769
04:42:55.159 --> 04:43:02.560
Such an amazing effect on how you feel right now

1770
04:43:07.360 --> 04:43:17.200
as well as those changes that continue long after the

1771
04:43:17.319 --> 04:43:35.959
recording ends. Those changes within you continue to flourish and grow, transforming.

1772
04:43:35.799 --> 04:43:36.720
Your life.

1773
04:43:38.639 --> 04:43:51.200
In positive, beautiful way, allowing you to move forward in

1774
04:43:51.319 --> 04:43:57.880
your life in the direction that you hu choose for yourself.

1775
04:44:07.240 --> 04:44:18.959
This feeling is feeling that you can experience of safety, comfort, harmless.

1776
04:44:26.720 --> 04:44:40.720
This feels so nice, such a healthy place to be,

1777
04:44:48.599 --> 04:45:06.639
and that positivity grows within you every day. Moving forward,

1778
04:45:10.400 --> 04:45:21.400
you're going to find that you're more relaxed physically and

1779
04:45:21.599 --> 04:45:30.279
in your mind it's more relaxed. And it's not that

1780
04:45:30.400 --> 04:45:35.919
you're thinking slower. It's just that your mind would be

1781
04:45:36.200 --> 04:45:47.959
less knocked up with unnecessary negativity because from now on,

1782
04:45:48.639 --> 04:45:52.400
your mind rejects negativity.

1783
04:45:56.400 --> 04:45:58.319
From now you're going to.

1784
04:45:58.439 --> 04:46:09.880
Start noticing when negativity arises. You can just say stop,

1785
04:46:14.959 --> 04:46:20.159
stop and the negativity.

1786
04:46:21.880 --> 04:46:24.919
Will turn around and leave your alone.

1787
04:46:32.959 --> 04:46:52.599
Stop and then negativity disappear. And as you notice that

1788
04:46:52.880 --> 04:47:00.880
you feel way on the next then you probably expected

1789
04:47:07.000 --> 04:47:16.279
given now, congratulate yourself because you're the person.

1790
04:47:16.599 --> 04:47:17.400
That has done this.

1791
04:47:19.159 --> 04:47:24.599
You are the one that has opened your mind up

1792
04:47:25.319 --> 04:47:34.200
to the simple face. You can feel more relaxed body

1793
04:47:34.919 --> 04:47:44.200
and in your mind, you've opened your mind up to

1794
04:47:46.520 --> 04:47:53.119
the birthright have been able to just or asleep easily

1795
04:47:54.159 --> 04:48:06.279
when you choose. And that's a nice feeling.

1796
04:48:07.880 --> 04:48:08.680
Don't you think.

1797
04:48:11.200 --> 04:48:11.959
It's nice?

1798
04:48:12.080 --> 04:48:12.479
Doesn't it.

1799
04:48:15.560 --> 04:48:22.400
To feel calm? Where here? The energy is spreading through

1800
04:48:22.479 --> 04:48:35.439
your body in your mind to spend time a special

1801
04:48:35.560 --> 04:48:36.840
place where.

1802
04:48:39.560 --> 04:48:43.720
Negativity can no longer get inter.

1803
04:48:49.880 --> 04:48:59.080
Negativity is bad, it's brd, it's not allowed entry, doesn't

1804
04:48:59.479 --> 04:49:03.119
