00:00:00.720 --> 00:00:07.960
Hello, and welcome to Jasonnewland dot com. My name's Jason Newland.

2
00:00:09.160 --> 00:00:13.599
This is let Me Buoy You to Sleep Sunday Edition.

3
00:00:14.720 --> 00:00:19.480
It's the Sunday Is it Sunday? Vinny Some I'm sitting

4
00:00:19.559 --> 00:00:25.000
down on my chair crowded up to my little boy. Here,

5
00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:32.560
my little Vinnie Vinny Minilli. Hey, he hasn't had his

6
00:00:32.759 --> 00:00:40.880
dinner yet. We was having a proper punch up earlier.

7
00:00:41.439 --> 00:00:44.799
He was buying my feet while the straps on my

8
00:00:47.479 --> 00:00:56.280
on my pink crocs, bless him, and he was growling

9
00:00:56.320 --> 00:01:01.200
and everything. He was loving it. It's very aggressive, very aggressive.

10
00:01:03.679 --> 00:01:08.719
So I've just had a little bit to eat and

11
00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:16.280
we're gonna make this recording. Then I'm gonna go to bed. Yeah,

12
00:01:16.439 --> 00:01:23.519
I'm just gonna chill out. I made a recording earlier.

13
00:01:24.719 --> 00:01:29.079
It was yeah, I did it in bed. I was

14
00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:35.000
in bed in bed. That was weird. I han't done

15
00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:41.439
one of them for a long time. I'm quite enjoying

16
00:01:41.519 --> 00:01:44.640
not sitting at the desk though, because I have to

17
00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:49.959
do that for the editing, and I'm not loving looking

18
00:01:49.959 --> 00:01:53.560
at computer screen anymore, not for long periods of time.

19
00:01:54.640 --> 00:01:59.560
I think it's nice to just take a break from that.

20
00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:05.079
So when I do a recording, because you know, I

21
00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:07.959
never used to well, no, when I first started doing

22
00:02:07.959 --> 00:02:12.520
this let me boy to sleep recordings, I used to

23
00:02:12.599 --> 00:02:16.080
be in my black chair in the corner over there.

24
00:02:18.759 --> 00:02:29.439
I never had any equipment wide equipment. I mean, you know,

25
00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:35.159
as far as I was recording it, but I never

26
00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:37.439
had a laptop on my I was never looking at

27
00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:42.159
a laptop or looking at a phone or anything like that,

28
00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:49.599
as far as I remember, I'd just be reclined and

29
00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:55.039
try not to move too much because that chair really

30
00:02:55.199 --> 00:03:02.120
squeaked a heck of a lot. So did I say,

31
00:03:02.199 --> 00:03:10.199
only listen when you can safely close your eyes. Also,

32
00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:16.520
my website's Jasonnewland dot com. All my recordings are on there.

33
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:20.520
All the latest recordings are on the first page. When

34
00:03:20.520 --> 00:03:24.360
you go there, you can download them, you can stream them.

35
00:03:24.439 --> 00:03:28.280
You can even change the speed that you listen to them.

36
00:03:28.520 --> 00:03:32.479
So if I'm if I'm talking too fast, you can

37
00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:36.800
slow it down. I wonder how many people actually do that.

38
00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:49.159
You can also fast forward and stuff. What else? O.

39
00:03:49.400 --> 00:03:57.599
My Facebook group is Jason Newland's Boring Group. Well that

40
00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:01.840
I've lost two members, I mean I'm lost two people

41
00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:07.960
have either left the group, or come off of Facebook.

42
00:04:09.240 --> 00:04:13.159
I'm not sure. So if you are listening and you've

43
00:04:13.240 --> 00:04:18.680
left Facebook because I don't know, maybe I farted too

44
00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:25.920
much of something, I do apologize. But if you'd like

45
00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:31.160
to join, you're welcome. There's a link on my website

46
00:04:31.480 --> 00:04:36.160
directly to the Facebook group. He is a private group,

47
00:04:36.279 --> 00:04:38.759
but you're welcome to join, and you will be accepted

48
00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:42.079
as long as I don't know you in real life.

49
00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:46.800
Because I don't have real people, real people. I don't

50
00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:55.040
have family or friends on my Facebook group. That has

51
00:04:55.079 --> 00:04:57.519
annoyed a few people over the years, but it's fine.

52
00:04:58.439 --> 00:05:00.639
I'll try and explain it. I don't they have family

53
00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:06.639
or friends on Facebook full stop. You know if someone yeah,

54
00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:11.199
I just I did in the past, you know, in

55
00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:16.480
the early days, it's like because it was exciting, Facebook,

56
00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:21.839
Facebook me on Facebook. You like email? Remember on emails,

57
00:05:22.040 --> 00:05:29.439
I'll email you or texting or texture, Wow, someone's going

58
00:05:29.519 --> 00:05:33.319
to text me. Do you remember you get your first

59
00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:39.319
mobile phone and that very first text of the old

60
00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:42.240
d d D D D d d D whatever it

61
00:05:42.319 --> 00:05:49.399
used to be. It's like, wow, I'm popular. People really

62
00:05:49.639 --> 00:06:00.839
like me. They're sending me text is can't remember? Pretty

63
00:06:00.920 --> 00:06:05.959
like the nineties, late nineties, early two thousands, probably more

64
00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:12.800
than the nineties, the amount we'd hear in public did

65
00:06:12.839 --> 00:06:17.560
do do? Did? Did? Did? Or whatever the like texts

66
00:06:17.720 --> 00:06:25.120
coming through constantly, and that ping noise did did did? Did? Did?

67
00:06:25.399 --> 00:06:29.800
Or Sometimes there'll be different sounds. It's like, come on,

68
00:06:33.319 --> 00:06:38.319
stop it stop. It don't seem to hear it so much,

69
00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:41.720
But then I'm not around humans, so I guess it

70
00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:47.199
might still be going on by. Yeah. Never really enjoyed it.

71
00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:50.439
I didn't even like hearing it myself on my own phone.

72
00:06:51.800 --> 00:06:58.360
As soon as the vibration option was available, I remember

73
00:06:58.879 --> 00:07:03.680
what was in a shop, in the mobile shop, and

74
00:07:03.720 --> 00:07:06.360
I got a new phone and they said I also

75
00:07:06.519 --> 00:07:14.319
has this new version has the option to vibrate, and

76
00:07:14.399 --> 00:07:17.639
I was very excited. Got a bit of a funny

77
00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:20.959
look from some of the staff. Why are you so

78
00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:24.839
excited about this really small phone that could fit in

79
00:07:24.959 --> 00:07:28.839
type places and it vibrates? Said no, I don't. It's

80
00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:33.120
not that. I just I don't want it going b B.

81
00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:41.000
I'd rather just vibrate wherever I put it and let

82
00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:42.759
me know in my pocket, I mean, and let me

83
00:07:42.839 --> 00:07:49.360
know just that way. That's a much nicer way, even

84
00:07:49.399 --> 00:07:52.839
though I got my eyes closed and I can visualize

85
00:07:53.879 --> 00:07:59.800
that silver phone I used to have. Oh, I like

86
00:07:59.879 --> 00:08:07.639
that little phone A two thousand and four I think

87
00:08:07.879 --> 00:08:14.920
maybe two thousand and three, two thousand and four. Yeah,

88
00:08:17.199 --> 00:08:23.439
those was the days. My very first bobar phone was

89
00:08:25.759 --> 00:08:32.080
I think I got it in nineteen ninety either right

90
00:08:32.159 --> 00:08:38.960
near the end of ninety seven or early early nineteen

91
00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:46.879
ninety eight. It had an aerial on it, that's how

92
00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:51.759
old it was. And it was no then, but I

93
00:08:51.840 --> 00:08:56.399
had an aeriel. There was no I mean, this screen

94
00:08:56.799 --> 00:09:00.799
was kind of basic. I don't think. I'm not even

95
00:09:00.799 --> 00:09:07.399
sure if texts existed back then. It was phone calls.

96
00:09:08.720 --> 00:09:20.480
There was no vibrations on the phone nose. Yeah, I

97
00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:24.720
don't think there was text then, and definitely not email.

98
00:09:25.080 --> 00:09:31.320
I mean email existed, that was, you know, via computer,

99
00:09:36.879 --> 00:09:40.639
and I remember when text came in or you can

100
00:09:40.679 --> 00:09:52.399
send messages SMS. SMS what's that stand for Small Messaging service? Wow?

101
00:09:53.120 --> 00:09:58.360
Because it's on the phone, so there's small messages. I'm

102
00:09:58.399 --> 00:10:01.679
pretty sure, I am I might be making this up.

103
00:10:02.480 --> 00:10:05.960
Pretty sure. There was a limit to the characters you

104
00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:11.600
could send a bit like Twitter when Twitter came out,

105
00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:14.919
and you could only you could write like three words

106
00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:23.200
something like that. But let's not talk about Twitter. Ah.

107
00:10:27.960 --> 00:10:29.679
I used to be on Twitter. I used to have

108
00:10:29.759 --> 00:10:33.759
a I used to post all my stuff on there,

109
00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:40.120
just the same as I did on Facebook and anywhere

110
00:10:40.120 --> 00:10:44.440
else that was available. But I just I don't know.

111
00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:49.320
I lost my account on Twitter. I've got locked out.

112
00:10:49.399 --> 00:10:53.360
I don't know. I just forgot what my password was,

113
00:10:53.480 --> 00:10:57.679
forgot what my email address was. Then I opened another one,

114
00:10:58.039 --> 00:11:03.759
and then I just I'm still on there, but it's

115
00:11:03.799 --> 00:11:08.960
just that hasn't been a post done in about five years,

116
00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:20.480
six years, because I can't get into the account. Do

117
00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:22.279
you know what my Space? I used to have about

118
00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:29.399
fifty thousand, over fifty thousand friends on there. I just

119
00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:35.600
wanted to tell someone I just remembered because every now

120
00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:40.720
and I want to talk about I'm talk about my Space.

121
00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:45.480
And maybe I'm just trying to keep the memory alive

122
00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:54.960
of MySpace because I think there's maybe a lot of people, firstly,

123
00:11:55.039 --> 00:11:59.120
don't know what my Space is, don't realize that they

124
00:11:59.120 --> 00:12:02.000
were there. You know, if it wasn't for my Space,

125
00:12:02.120 --> 00:12:09.639
Facebook wouldn't exist. My Space was the first popular social

126
00:12:09.679 --> 00:12:24.679
networking site, so popular, and then my Space that was

127
00:12:24.840 --> 00:12:32.759
very strong Star Trek. He wasn't it dead Dead? I

128
00:12:32.960 --> 00:12:45.320
turned into a Western soundtrack. Eha. I remember when I

129
00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:49.720
was a kid, I used to we used to dress

130
00:12:49.799 --> 00:12:57.080
up as cowboys and Indians. I liked being a cowboy

131
00:12:57.120 --> 00:13:00.559
because at the guns, but I liked being in because

132
00:13:00.600 --> 00:13:06.799
of the head the head gear and stuff like that.

133
00:13:07.960 --> 00:13:12.639
Now I realized the term Indian isn't used anymore, but

134
00:13:12.720 --> 00:13:18.080
it was then so that that was the term of

135
00:13:18.120 --> 00:13:22.480
the game, Cowboys and Indians, just as cops and robbers,

136
00:13:24.600 --> 00:13:30.559
you know. Or if there was if there was an enemy,

137
00:13:30.799 --> 00:13:33.399
like if you were playing a football match and you

138
00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:37.279
were England, the other team would be Germany because there'd

139
00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:41.200
be the you know, they'd be the enemy because Germany.

140
00:13:42.279 --> 00:13:45.279
We had like an ongoing thing with Germany in football.

141
00:13:45.360 --> 00:13:52.559
For I say we I'm not into football. Germany had

142
00:13:52.600 --> 00:14:00.759
just been They're just really good footballers. They're just every

143
00:14:00.799 --> 00:14:06.879
country is good at football, especially compared to me. What

144
00:14:07.080 --> 00:14:12.559
I did once score a hat trick, and I remember those.

145
00:14:12.759 --> 00:14:17.600
I think I broke all the records at school for

146
00:14:17.679 --> 00:14:23.159
the most home for the most home goals in one match.

147
00:14:25.519 --> 00:14:30.360
In my case, it was three. So if someone had

148
00:14:30.399 --> 00:14:34.200
told me that, you change sides halfway through, then I

149
00:14:34.200 --> 00:14:38.080
would have knew, you know, I didn't know. I was

150
00:14:38.120 --> 00:14:41.759
too busy spinning around until I got dizzy, pretending I

151
00:14:41.799 --> 00:14:46.440
was wonder woman, and then I'd just fall over and

152
00:14:46.480 --> 00:14:50.360
then wanted might stop. You know, I was no longer

153
00:14:50.600 --> 00:14:54.600
like dizzy. I'd get up and I'd spin around again,

154
00:14:55.759 --> 00:15:07.879
sometimes the opposite direction. So I wasn't always not always

155
00:15:07.919 --> 00:15:22.639
aware of the changes on the football pitch, because it's

156
00:15:22.679 --> 00:15:27.360
not like we were all We weren't wearing different costumes.

157
00:15:28.399 --> 00:15:30.919
Everyone was wearing the same stuff, you know, the same

158
00:15:31.480 --> 00:15:35.919
colored shirts, the same colored shorts. So it can be

159
00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:40.080
a bit confusing. You know, in a like professional or

160
00:15:40.279 --> 00:15:45.039
proper football match, you know there's blue shirts and yellow shirts.

161
00:15:45.080 --> 00:15:49.840
That like makes it a little bit easier, and it's

162
00:15:49.879 --> 00:15:52.600
the same team. You know, you've got your same your

163
00:15:52.720 --> 00:16:00.519
team players. But at school, it's it's like everyone stressed

164
00:16:00.519 --> 00:16:03.360
the same. How am I supposed to remember who's on

165
00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:09.679
one side? Especially as that side changed every time we played,

166
00:16:09.919 --> 00:16:14.080
so every every week or every twice a week, it

167
00:16:14.120 --> 00:16:17.120
would change, so it's like I don't know who on

168
00:16:17.320 --> 00:16:24.639
who's on my side? I was always chosen last, and

169
00:16:24.679 --> 00:16:27.639
that's the thing I didn't really enjoy. Well it's not

170
00:16:28.159 --> 00:16:29.919
it's not the top thing, but it's one of the

171
00:16:29.919 --> 00:16:35.440
things I didn't really enjoy about. You know, going to

172
00:16:35.440 --> 00:16:45.519
school is that whole. The pe teacher or gym teacher,

173
00:16:45.559 --> 00:16:48.480
whatever you want to call him, he always like chose

174
00:16:48.559 --> 00:16:51.919
two of the like the top boys, his favorite or

175
00:16:52.159 --> 00:16:57.399
his favorites. Yeah, and then say to them, you're the

176
00:16:57.440 --> 00:17:00.639
team leader. Now you choose who you want in your

177
00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:04.920
football team, or in your hockey team, or in your

178
00:17:04.960 --> 00:17:11.759
basketball team. There's an others sports was I don't mean

179
00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:15.119
in the world, but that we played. That's I ever

180
00:17:15.160 --> 00:17:20.319
played rugby, cricket, played cricket, but I think I only

181
00:17:20.319 --> 00:17:23.319
played cricket junior school. But that didn't work out well

182
00:17:25.640 --> 00:17:33.440
because they learn quite early on that if you check

183
00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:39.039
a ball at me, well basically, don't check a ball

184
00:17:39.119 --> 00:17:40.880
at me if I've got a piece of wood in

185
00:17:40.920 --> 00:17:46.960
my hand, because if that ball hits me, I'm coming

186
00:17:47.039 --> 00:17:51.160
for you. And that is what I was like. Unfortunately,

187
00:17:51.839 --> 00:17:55.319
so I got banned from cricket in junior school because

188
00:17:55.359 --> 00:18:00.200
someone chucked a ball hit me in the knee. I

189
00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:03.319
was all padded up and everything with the with the

190
00:18:03.400 --> 00:18:06.599
bat hit me in the knee, but hit me in

191
00:18:06.640 --> 00:18:09.480
the wrong knee, so I think you only have if

192
00:18:09.599 --> 00:18:16.279
only had one pad on her. And they were laughing,

193
00:18:19.839 --> 00:18:30.039
and I thought that almost hurt more. And I looked

194
00:18:30.079 --> 00:18:34.640
down at my knee and and I looked down at

195
00:18:34.720 --> 00:18:40.839
the big, large cricket bat, which is probably as big

196
00:18:40.880 --> 00:18:46.400
as I was. And yeah, so I was not allowed

197
00:18:46.400 --> 00:18:52.359
to play cricket again. And then in high school we

198
00:18:52.400 --> 00:19:00.039
had hockey. And in hockey, as in football, there's a

199
00:19:00.039 --> 00:19:03.079
lot of fowling. And by that I don't mean like

200
00:19:03.160 --> 00:19:05.920
pulling on the pitch. What I mean is there's a

201
00:19:05.960 --> 00:19:13.799
lot of in football kicking and pushing stuff. But in hockey,

202
00:19:14.039 --> 00:19:17.920
even though again we've all padded up for some reason,

203
00:19:18.839 --> 00:19:21.519
hitting each other in his shins seemed to be acceptable

204
00:19:23.480 --> 00:19:29.039
but not to me. And it didn't make sense. Or

205
00:19:29.119 --> 00:19:33.640
to hit the ball at my face. Why would they

206
00:19:33.680 --> 00:19:37.920
do that? So I'm thinking it's got to be a

207
00:19:37.960 --> 00:19:41.359
bit silly to do that when I have this big

208
00:19:41.559 --> 00:19:45.000
bit of wood in my hand. So yeah, I was

209
00:19:45.119 --> 00:19:50.400
chasing people. So I got banned band from playing hockey.

210
00:19:52.279 --> 00:19:57.799
I remember saying like why why, pe teacher, mister Jim teacher,

211
00:19:57.839 --> 00:20:02.200
why why are you banning me? He says, because of

212
00:20:02.240 --> 00:20:05.680
what you did. I said, I didn't do anything. He said,

213
00:20:05.720 --> 00:20:09.480
you literally chased someone around the field for half an

214
00:20:09.519 --> 00:20:19.119
hour waving the hockey stick. I said, yeah, that's what

215
00:20:19.160 --> 00:20:23.400
you're supposed to do, isn't it. I said, yeah, when

216
00:20:23.400 --> 00:20:25.200
you're on the field, you're not supposed to chase them

217
00:20:25.200 --> 00:20:31.200
out of the school like, well, just sportsmanship. He said,

218
00:20:31.200 --> 00:20:35.400
you followed him home. You're banging on the window of

219
00:20:35.519 --> 00:20:44.400
his home. That's not on. It's not that I didn't

220
00:20:44.519 --> 00:20:56.559
like cheetahs. It's just I just didn't like people. Yeah, fowls,

221
00:20:56.799 --> 00:21:01.359
I didn't they gain. I'm not talking about poo on

222
00:21:01.480 --> 00:21:05.599
the pitch, I said when I said, I'm not talking

223
00:21:05.640 --> 00:21:07.319
about it. I've just talked about it twice, but I'm

224
00:21:07.319 --> 00:21:09.799
not literally talking about it, as in, let's have a

225
00:21:09.799 --> 00:21:14.400
big conversation. No, no, but fouling. Can you know a

226
00:21:14.440 --> 00:21:17.640
dog foul? Dog foul in on the graph? So well,

227
00:21:17.680 --> 00:21:24.519
that's a that's like an English word for poop, poop, poop.

228
00:21:25.880 --> 00:21:30.200
But yeah, I'm not talking like that. I think the

229
00:21:30.240 --> 00:21:32.720
most annoying thing though, with football, because I never got

230
00:21:32.759 --> 00:21:37.079
banned from football because that was the last sport. There

231
00:21:37.119 --> 00:21:41.880
was nothing else. They tried me with everything else. Basketball

232
00:21:42.240 --> 00:21:46.680
that was pointless. I mean, I was just so sure

233
00:21:49.440 --> 00:21:55.200
it was everybody was. I was pretty much. They got

234
00:21:55.200 --> 00:21:58.519
a point in high school where I came up to

235
00:21:58.599 --> 00:22:02.480
pretty much the chef of most of the other lads,

236
00:22:02.720 --> 00:22:06.880
the other boys in my ear, I came up to

237
00:22:06.960 --> 00:22:12.279
their chest. I was so short, so I was there's

238
00:22:12.279 --> 00:22:15.640
a lot of like adults really, so you know, they'd

239
00:22:15.920 --> 00:22:21.200
gone through the change, gone through the initial many pause

240
00:22:21.240 --> 00:22:26.960
the boys go through when they're twelve thirteen, and turned

241
00:22:27.359 --> 00:22:32.559
turned into little were wolves. And I was still a

242
00:22:32.599 --> 00:22:36.799
little boy. Really. I was still just talking with my

243
00:22:36.920 --> 00:22:48.319
high pitched voice, like now really and yeah I do. Yeah.

244
00:22:48.759 --> 00:22:51.200
I didn't care when everyone else was a kid. But

245
00:22:51.240 --> 00:22:56.039
then when they started like getting well, turning into men. Really,

246
00:22:56.680 --> 00:22:59.720
that's when I didn't really like it. Didn't didn't, you know,

247
00:23:01.319 --> 00:23:05.039
because I was still a kid, so I couldn't physically

248
00:23:05.079 --> 00:23:08.440
match them, not that I could match them before because

249
00:23:08.440 --> 00:23:12.319
I was tiny. But it's a little bit is a

250
00:23:12.359 --> 00:23:16.119
different energy, you know, it's a different a different kind

251
00:23:16.160 --> 00:23:20.519
of strength. You know, when someone's now, when someone's a

252
00:23:20.559 --> 00:23:27.720
man compared to a child, there's a different strength and

253
00:23:27.759 --> 00:23:30.119
they could run faster and I couldn't catch them with

254
00:23:30.200 --> 00:23:38.079
my hockey stick. No, I didn't tennis. I was only

255
00:23:38.240 --> 00:23:44.839
good at tennis against one person. And it was weird

256
00:23:44.920 --> 00:23:48.519
because no one else would play me at tennis because

257
00:23:48.519 --> 00:23:53.319
I wasn't very good. By a friend who would play me,

258
00:23:54.799 --> 00:23:59.759
but he was awful, And I was frustrating because as

259
00:23:59.799 --> 00:24:03.519
I now, I know what it feels like to play myself,

260
00:24:04.759 --> 00:24:06.119
and now I know what it feels like for other

261
00:24:06.200 --> 00:24:09.720
people because I'm not very good. I wasn't very good

262
00:24:09.720 --> 00:24:17.160
at tennis. He was worse than me. I don't know

263
00:24:17.200 --> 00:24:22.200
if he was just doing it as a joke. It

264
00:24:22.359 --> 00:24:29.359
could be just as a little giggle, but it's frustrating.

265
00:24:29.400 --> 00:24:32.400
So I just hit the ball onto the roof and

266
00:24:32.440 --> 00:24:36.799
walked off. I mean, our relationship was starting to crumble

267
00:24:36.839 --> 00:24:48.480
a little bit at that point. Yeah, it's weird, but yeah,

268
00:24:48.799 --> 00:24:53.359
cops and robbers used to play that. You know, would

269
00:24:53.359 --> 00:24:58.279
wear a mask, so basically cops and robbers. One would

270
00:24:58.279 --> 00:25:06.599
be causing trouble bullying people and the other person would

271
00:25:06.599 --> 00:25:16.039
be a robber. So yeah, it was we didn't have

272
00:25:16.119 --> 00:25:23.799
to wear a big striped onesie with a mask, and

273
00:25:23.880 --> 00:25:28.079
for some reason, some French hat didn't have to do that.

274
00:25:28.359 --> 00:25:32.640
You know there's French hats. Actually that's not Maybe I

275
00:25:32.720 --> 00:25:38.359
was getting muddled up between my artists. Do you know

276
00:25:38.400 --> 00:25:44.799
that my artists in France with the white makeup and

277
00:25:45.960 --> 00:25:50.680
the French hat. I can't remember what it's called off

278
00:25:50.720 --> 00:25:56.880
the Oh what was it called beret? No, but I

279
00:25:56.960 --> 00:25:58.839
don't think it was a beret. Maybe it was a

280
00:25:58.839 --> 00:26:07.160
beret and the big boots or white, but stripes down

281
00:26:07.200 --> 00:26:15.240
the top, maybe down the whole thing, and then a

282
00:26:15.279 --> 00:26:28.759
mask a little bit like sorrow sorrow. See, that's really

283
00:26:28.920 --> 00:26:33.400
skillful to be able to do that. Yeah, whenever he

284
00:26:33.519 --> 00:26:38.880
fought anyone sorrow, he was left a Z on their chest,

285
00:26:40.000 --> 00:26:44.920
but never come never injured their chest, but managed to

286
00:26:44.960 --> 00:26:49.519
do it. So it ripped open their their top just

287
00:26:49.799 --> 00:27:01.039
in the shape of a z. That's phenomenal, that is, though,

288
00:27:01.039 --> 00:27:05.200
isn't it. I Mean, it's like, that's skillful to be

289
00:27:05.200 --> 00:27:10.599
able to do that and not cause any injury. Is

290
00:27:11.599 --> 00:27:15.400
that's a skill that I'll well, it's not a skill

291
00:27:15.440 --> 00:27:21.519
I ever wanted, but it's just skillful. I always kind

292
00:27:21.519 --> 00:27:23.839
of thought that i'd be quite cool to be a fencer.

293
00:27:24.920 --> 00:27:26.519
I remember saying to my dad, would like to be

294
00:27:26.559 --> 00:27:33.480
a fencer. But you know, I don't think he really

295
00:27:33.559 --> 00:27:38.039
understood what I meant. I was thinking he's going to

296
00:27:38.119 --> 00:27:41.480
go out and buy me a sword and maybe a

297
00:27:41.559 --> 00:27:51.240
nice mask. They brought me some varnish for a fence. Uh,

298
00:27:54.759 --> 00:27:57.279
what's that stuff he used to Is it varnish? There's

299
00:27:57.319 --> 00:28:03.640
another thing, isn't there? Stick? Like really stinks. We've got

300
00:28:03.680 --> 00:28:09.039
a varnished defense. You don't have to Yeah, it needs doing. Yeah,

301
00:28:09.839 --> 00:28:12.799
we don't have to do it, though, do it? Who

302
00:28:12.880 --> 00:28:17.799
needs doing? My windows need cleaning, but they're not being cleaned.

303
00:28:18.640 --> 00:28:23.680
My carpet needs vacuuming, it's not getting very vacuumed. My

304
00:28:23.799 --> 00:28:28.000
underpants need changing. That's when my dad just walks out

305
00:28:28.000 --> 00:28:33.480
of the room. It's like, one day we'll finish, finish

306
00:28:33.519 --> 00:28:41.839
a conversation the amount of Christmases that he's walked out. So, yeah,

307
00:28:42.480 --> 00:28:46.960
I suppose using the term cowboys and Indians, that's what

308
00:28:47.039 --> 00:28:50.480
it was called back then. But back then we didn't

309
00:28:50.519 --> 00:29:00.440
we didn't have education about the indigenous people of different entries.

310
00:29:01.319 --> 00:29:08.839
That history wasn't really taught at the time. The thing is,

311
00:29:08.880 --> 00:29:10.640
it's going to be hard for a lot of people.

312
00:29:11.240 --> 00:29:22.000
Anyone I reckon under the age of fifty or forty five.

313
00:29:23.279 --> 00:29:31.680
Won't realize how much Western stuff there was on television,

314
00:29:33.720 --> 00:29:36.319
you know, And this is stuff from the fifties and

315
00:29:36.359 --> 00:29:40.279
the sixties and the seventies. It was still being shown

316
00:29:40.559 --> 00:29:47.720
constantly in the early eighties Western movies, TV shows based

317
00:29:47.759 --> 00:29:51.680
on the West. Even Kung Fu was based on the

318
00:29:51.680 --> 00:30:03.319
Western Eraklin Eastwood movies and all those old movies from

319
00:30:03.359 --> 00:30:09.559
the sixties like Paint My Wagon. I was bored and

320
00:30:09.880 --> 00:30:14.200
stole you know, Lee Marvin and Doc Dallis. Clinton is

321
00:30:14.240 --> 00:30:19.119
but as well, wasn't it. I think I've got a

322
00:30:19.240 --> 00:30:22.480
flyes attack and they stop it. It's got a little

323
00:30:22.480 --> 00:30:29.960
hockey stick, and what should I said? Where's my hockey stick?

324
00:30:31.839 --> 00:30:34.079
Hockey sticks are quite good because I've got a nice grip.

325
00:30:35.640 --> 00:30:43.119
So I remember this is how bad it was. I

326
00:30:43.160 --> 00:30:46.920
was always picked last. So when we were queuing up,

327
00:30:47.519 --> 00:30:55.200
I didn't like I didn't like that system. I really

328
00:30:55.240 --> 00:31:01.200
didn't like the system. It's it seemed to me almost

329
00:31:01.240 --> 00:31:06.720
like a former bullion like to just or humiliation. You know,

330
00:31:06.720 --> 00:31:10.680
it's definitely humiliation because the teacher just seemed to be

331
00:31:10.960 --> 00:31:13.200
you just sit back, sit in a chair, start smoking

332
00:31:13.200 --> 00:31:19.440
a cigar, you know, eating truffles, giggling. He just found

333
00:31:19.480 --> 00:31:25.920
it hilarious just watching us all squirm. And then it

334
00:31:25.960 --> 00:31:28.880
got down to like the last maybe three or four people,

335
00:31:29.279 --> 00:31:32.519
and neither of the leaders or the boys that were

336
00:31:32.519 --> 00:31:35.480
in charge of the teens, neither of them wanted to

337
00:31:35.599 --> 00:31:41.960
pick any of the ones that were left. We were like,

338
00:31:45.000 --> 00:31:49.000
I don't like a roast dinner. And always left was

339
00:31:49.440 --> 00:31:54.799
some cabbage. We were the cabbage and maybe some of

340
00:31:54.880 --> 00:31:57.559
the fat off the beef, you know, the stuff that

341
00:31:57.599 --> 00:32:00.240
no one wants to actually eat. That's what was left.

342
00:32:02.160 --> 00:32:05.920
Perhaps a dead fly in the gravy. That's that's what

343
00:32:06.079 --> 00:32:08.319
I was. I was the I was the fly in

344
00:32:08.440 --> 00:32:14.799
the gravy. I was like, oh, it didn't really do

345
00:32:15.079 --> 00:32:22.680
myself esteem much good if I'm honest. I remember I

346
00:32:22.799 --> 00:32:30.839
was the amount of times I was chosen last. It

347
00:32:31.000 --> 00:32:34.559
was this is just Stanish for football, and I was

348
00:32:34.640 --> 00:32:39.559
chosen last. I wasn't was it football? Was it basketball? No,

349
00:32:39.599 --> 00:32:43.880
it's football, and I was chosen last. I was like,

350
00:32:45.200 --> 00:32:46.920
I went to the teacher, I said, look, this is

351
00:32:46.960 --> 00:32:50.640
just ridiculous. He said, what are you talking about, Jewson?

352
00:32:51.279 --> 00:32:56.680
I said, because everyone did an impression of different strokes.

353
00:32:56.680 --> 00:33:00.359
Back then, we talked about Thomas were talking about Bob

354
00:33:00.839 --> 00:33:03.799
like everyone did it. You know, different strikes with such

355
00:33:03.799 --> 00:33:06.559
a huge show, even though I don't think it was

356
00:33:06.599 --> 00:33:09.119
even on I think I don't know if it was

357
00:33:09.160 --> 00:33:11.200
on in the early eighties. I know it was on

358
00:33:11.319 --> 00:33:16.799
in the late seventies. Defense Role to Brule the World.

359
00:33:18.079 --> 00:33:25.079
More Commindy, Do do Do Do Do Do Do Do?

360
00:33:25.079 --> 00:33:29.319
Do Do Do Do? That's the wrong tune. I loved

361
00:33:29.359 --> 00:33:33.319
more Commindy. The thing about it with more Comindy is

362
00:33:36.480 --> 00:33:43.039
I think with a lot of firm sitcoms, TV shows, rarely,

363
00:33:43.839 --> 00:33:54.359
in my humble opinion, do replacement characters or new characters

364
00:33:55.160 --> 00:33:59.359
improved the show. So there was a TV show called

365
00:33:59.400 --> 00:34:08.079
Bread and they replaced two of the main characters. Aveline

366
00:34:08.239 --> 00:34:12.480
was one of the main people, and she left and

367
00:34:12.480 --> 00:34:14.840
they got another person in and it wasn't the same

368
00:34:14.920 --> 00:34:21.440
because the first one was just so good. She know,

369
00:34:21.639 --> 00:34:25.239
she was one of the more memorable characters in the show.

370
00:34:25.920 --> 00:34:29.639
They were all memorable, but she was. I say that

371
00:34:29.719 --> 00:34:58.239
I can't remember them. I remember one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, yeah, nine, Yes,

372
00:34:58.320 --> 00:35:03.480
I remember quite a few of them. But when they

373
00:35:03.639 --> 00:35:07.880
changed the characters, it didn't improve it. Or with Minder.

374
00:35:08.599 --> 00:35:16.199
When Terry left, they got in Arthur Day's nephew. I

375
00:35:16.239 --> 00:35:23.920
still watched it because I'm I'm loyal to a TV show,

376
00:35:24.360 --> 00:35:26.400
you know, especially when I was younger. It's very loyal.

377
00:35:26.880 --> 00:35:30.199
If I watch a TV show, I watched it every

378
00:35:30.280 --> 00:35:34.800
single week, every episode, regardless of what they did, I'd

379
00:35:34.880 --> 00:35:40.679
keep watching it. Not so loyal these days, perhaps, but

380
00:35:40.719 --> 00:35:46.199
back then I was. And I can't really remember too

381
00:35:46.320 --> 00:35:50.519
many times when the new characters have improved the show.

382
00:35:51.039 --> 00:35:55.000
With Minder, it it really didn't. It was fresh, you know,

383
00:35:55.039 --> 00:36:02.199
it's different, but it wasn't the same because Terry and

384
00:36:02.360 --> 00:36:09.239
Arthur Daily were a double act. You know that that

385
00:36:10.079 --> 00:36:13.920
this is mind of It's a It's a really famous

386
00:36:13.960 --> 00:36:19.199
TV show for the eighties really, I suppose, and maybe

387
00:36:19.280 --> 00:36:28.840
nineties as well. But yeah, it lost it lost something.

388
00:36:29.639 --> 00:36:36.440
It lost Terry. So yeah, but then a couple of

389
00:36:36.480 --> 00:36:47.199
American shows managed to do it, and one of those

390
00:36:47.440 --> 00:36:58.360
was Cheers because when Diane Diane left the show, and

391
00:36:58.440 --> 00:37:04.199
I was a huge years fan, like really massive, I'd

392
00:37:04.280 --> 00:37:09.239
watch it every Friday, and I didn't really know what

393
00:37:09.320 --> 00:37:12.440
they're going to do. How are they gonna how can

394
00:37:12.480 --> 00:37:17.400
they replace her? They didn't replace her. They did kind

395
00:37:17.440 --> 00:37:22.840
of got a new female lead character or co co lead,

396
00:37:24.800 --> 00:37:29.559
and Kirse the Alli was brilliant, but just in a

397
00:37:29.599 --> 00:37:37.840
different way. Just so yeah, she's literally I've never seen

398
00:37:37.880 --> 00:37:41.119
anyone that can cry well, I haven't met people who

399
00:37:41.119 --> 00:37:46.119
can cry easily, but like just it was so funny

400
00:37:46.199 --> 00:37:51.800
to start crying just out of nowhere. And Kirsty Allie

401
00:37:51.920 --> 00:37:54.800
was great, and I think it was quite good because

402
00:37:55.360 --> 00:38:03.239
her and Sam's Rebecca, wasn't it so Rebecca and Sam.

403
00:38:03.480 --> 00:38:08.000
It wasn't really about them. I know, there was a

404
00:38:08.039 --> 00:38:10.719
little bit of a thing, wasn't there. But it wasn't

405
00:38:10.760 --> 00:38:16.199
really about them. It was more about her and wanting

406
00:38:16.280 --> 00:38:23.559
to be with whoever whatever high flyer boss there was

407
00:38:24.400 --> 00:38:28.239
that had taken over the bar or that was. She

408
00:38:28.320 --> 00:38:34.920
wanted to be a billionaire, so that was, yeah, that

409
00:38:35.000 --> 00:38:41.679
was I like that. I can't think of the other

410
00:38:41.719 --> 00:38:43.960
one now because it's gone out of my head because

411
00:38:45.039 --> 00:38:52.360
I was talking so much about other stuff. Whatever replacement, Oh,

412
00:38:52.480 --> 00:38:57.679
more Commindy, now more Commindy. There wasn't a replacement, but

413
00:38:57.760 --> 00:39:03.960
there was an addition which I think actually improved the show.

414
00:39:04.760 --> 00:39:10.000
I love the show anyway, But when Mork and Mindy

415
00:39:10.039 --> 00:39:18.960
had a baby Mirth and he was grown a fully

416
00:39:19.000 --> 00:39:24.440
grown adult, like a man in his sixties or whatever,

417
00:39:25.039 --> 00:39:29.239
fifties or sixties, fifties. I don't know how old he

418
00:39:29.400 --> 00:39:33.559
was when he did that show, probably fifties, forties, fifties.

419
00:39:36.440 --> 00:39:43.199
So funny like he was to me, even though I

420
00:39:43.280 --> 00:39:47.800
was a massive Robin Williams fan, massive Walk and Mindy

421
00:39:49.000 --> 00:39:54.440
Mark nan Nan who loved that, but Mirth was just hilarious.

422
00:39:55.800 --> 00:39:58.400
I didn't realize at the time because a kid didn't

423
00:39:58.440 --> 00:40:06.599
know he was a very famous comedian. Mirth and these

424
00:40:06.719 --> 00:40:10.559
name's gone out of my head. It was never in

425
00:40:10.599 --> 00:40:13.719
my head. But he's for those of no years, I

426
00:40:13.760 --> 00:40:19.760
don't know what I mean. He was known for telling

427
00:40:20.159 --> 00:40:26.400
stories and he, yeah, was very very famous in America,

428
00:40:30.320 --> 00:40:39.280
and that it was just perfect. At that part. I

429
00:40:39.320 --> 00:40:41.360
was going to say that probably no one else could

430
00:40:41.360 --> 00:40:44.079
have really done it, But that's one of those things.

431
00:40:44.119 --> 00:40:46.760
It's like it's easy to say that, isn't it, But

432
00:40:46.880 --> 00:40:50.119
in reality, loads of people probably could have done it.

433
00:40:50.599 --> 00:40:56.280
They just would have been different. I mean, it's like saying, oh,

434
00:40:56.880 --> 00:41:01.760
no one else could have really pulled off the I'm

435
00:41:01.760 --> 00:41:08.000
trying to think, let's say the Rocky movies. Oh, no

436
00:41:08.039 --> 00:41:12.400
one could have done that. So Lester Stallone he made

437
00:41:12.440 --> 00:41:15.679
those his own and yeah he did. I mean, yeah,

438
00:41:15.840 --> 00:41:18.559
there was no doubt in that one. But the idea

439
00:41:18.559 --> 00:41:22.119
that no one else could have played the character because

440
00:41:22.440 --> 00:41:27.519
initially the production company didn't want him to play the character,

441
00:41:27.559 --> 00:41:32.920
did they. They wanted another actor to do it. It would

442
00:41:32.960 --> 00:41:35.400
have been different, but it still might have been hugely

443
00:41:35.440 --> 00:41:42.320
successful because the story was great. So imagine, I don't

444
00:41:42.320 --> 00:41:48.159
know someone like pee Herman or you know, some some

445
00:41:49.119 --> 00:41:54.880
Steve Martin or someone who was famous around that in

446
00:41:54.920 --> 00:41:59.400
the eighties, seventies or whatever. I don't know. I'm trying

447
00:41:59.440 --> 00:42:05.559
to think of so mentioned pee Wee Herman. I'm just

448
00:42:05.599 --> 00:42:09.480
thinking of him shouting at Adrian with his squeaky voice

449
00:42:12.000 --> 00:42:15.480
made me laugh. I don't. I tried to watch his

450
00:42:15.679 --> 00:42:20.360
TV show and it was a little bit. I don't know.

451
00:42:20.679 --> 00:42:24.119
I liked the pe Wee Herman. Is it the p

452
00:42:24.280 --> 00:42:28.679
we Herman loses his bicycle or something, and just the

453
00:42:28.719 --> 00:42:31.039
way he talks and the shouts and and talks and

454
00:42:33.440 --> 00:42:41.199
very funny, very funny character. It wasn't really a huge

455
00:42:41.239 --> 00:42:47.519
star in the UK, I don't. I don't recall ever

456
00:42:47.679 --> 00:42:54.000
seeing Pee Wee Herman, the PV. Herman Show on television

457
00:42:54.000 --> 00:42:59.599
in this country, and I was a definite like TV.

458
00:42:59.679 --> 00:43:03.280
Adding really when I was a kid, I mean I

459
00:43:03.320 --> 00:43:08.119
didn't Yeah, I didn't stay up till late in the

460
00:43:08.159 --> 00:43:13.239
early eighties. I didn't start staying up till late on

461
00:43:13.280 --> 00:43:18.280
our weeknight or school night until I got my own TV.

462
00:43:19.519 --> 00:43:21.239
So I had a black and white TV when I

463
00:43:21.280 --> 00:43:26.960
was about fourteen, and that's when I started watching late

464
00:43:27.079 --> 00:43:36.679
night Telly All. It was. It was among the most

465
00:43:36.760 --> 00:43:43.280
exciting time of my life because for the first time

466
00:43:46.320 --> 00:43:59.199
in privacy, I had complete control of a television. You know,

467
00:43:59.519 --> 00:44:03.480
I used to go into the living room after school.

468
00:44:04.920 --> 00:44:09.280
I'd watch Grange Hill and often I wouldn't be bothered

469
00:44:09.639 --> 00:44:12.360
because both my brothers were older they didn't watch it.

470
00:44:12.519 --> 00:44:15.559
They didn't watch that show. My little brother was too young,

471
00:44:15.639 --> 00:44:18.639
so he didn't watch it. So, you know, sometimes I'd

472
00:44:18.679 --> 00:44:22.119
have a nice hour where I could just watch TV

473
00:44:22.239 --> 00:44:29.480
on my own. But if one of my older brothers

474
00:44:29.480 --> 00:44:31.760
came in they decided they wanted to watch something else,

475
00:44:32.079 --> 00:44:40.119
they just turn the TV over. Or any minute I

476
00:44:40.119 --> 00:44:42.880
could be called in to do something, you know, maybe

477
00:44:42.880 --> 00:44:46.440
it's dinner time or you know something like that, so

478
00:44:46.639 --> 00:44:49.679
I could be disturbed. But when I was in my

479
00:44:49.679 --> 00:44:54.760
bedroom upstairs, right at the top of the house, oh

480
00:44:54.880 --> 00:44:58.159
it's lovely. I have all the lights off. What I

481
00:44:58.199 --> 00:45:01.480
had had one light, I'd had that off, had the

482
00:45:01.559 --> 00:45:10.119
TV flickering away, And I started discovering what happened after

483
00:45:10.199 --> 00:45:16.119
bedtime because I didn't know during the week I was

484
00:45:16.159 --> 00:45:20.119
in bed at I don't know, eight thirty nine at

485
00:45:20.119 --> 00:45:25.760
that time. I'm not sure what the time, probably nine maybe,

486
00:45:26.159 --> 00:45:28.400
but you know, it was earlier when I was younger,

487
00:45:29.800 --> 00:45:34.480
apart from the weekends, so Saturday, I think maybe Friday night,

488
00:45:34.719 --> 00:45:39.840
Saturday we could But even then, because I had early

489
00:45:39.920 --> 00:45:46.000
morning paper rounds working in the yeah, in the bakery,

490
00:45:48.039 --> 00:45:50.119
I'd have to get up at like five in the morning,

491
00:45:50.679 --> 00:45:54.039
so I wasn't I wasn't staying up late at the weekends.

492
00:45:56.519 --> 00:46:05.280
But on a school night, regardless of what time I

493
00:46:05.320 --> 00:46:10.360
had to get up in the morning, because I wasn't

494
00:46:10.360 --> 00:46:13.199
going to watch it. I thought, well, I got a TV. Brilliant.

495
00:46:13.800 --> 00:46:17.599
I never have to leave my room again. Then I thought,

496
00:46:17.719 --> 00:46:21.079
I'm going to have to eat. Why can't we have

497
00:46:21.159 --> 00:46:25.599
one of those lazy waiters is what they call them?

498
00:46:25.840 --> 00:46:31.039
Where the food can be sent up. I did mention

499
00:46:31.159 --> 00:46:34.840
to my step mom, said, if I just if you

500
00:46:35.079 --> 00:46:39.039
keep twenty percent of my pocket money, can you just

501
00:46:39.079 --> 00:46:43.559
deliver my food to my door, to my bedroom room service?

502
00:46:44.480 --> 00:46:50.239
And she laughed. The amount of times has she laughed

503
00:46:50.239 --> 00:46:52.360
at stuff I said. When I was actually being serious,

504
00:46:53.039 --> 00:46:56.599
it's amazing. She probably thought I was quite a funny kid.

505
00:46:56.639 --> 00:46:59.760
But I was actually being like, no, really, well, you

506
00:46:59.840 --> 00:47:06.400
just deliver my food to my door because I didn't

507
00:47:06.400 --> 00:47:09.719
want to leave because I had my television. That's all

508
00:47:09.760 --> 00:47:18.840
I needed. Television, my books, a little tape recorder to

509
00:47:18.920 --> 00:47:30.239
listen to music or radio. For that little period. I mean,

510
00:47:30.280 --> 00:47:33.159
I must have been doing karate as well, so there

511
00:47:33.199 --> 00:47:40.320
was more going on. But something magical happened, because I

512
00:47:40.320 --> 00:47:46.440
remember thinking for years, what happens when I go to

513
00:47:46.440 --> 00:47:54.320
sleep a half eight in the evening? What happens? Because

514
00:47:54.760 --> 00:48:01.760
I hear things. There's people downstairs love laughing my fat

515
00:48:02.079 --> 00:48:04.360
Because as I said, my brothers were a lot older,

516
00:48:05.559 --> 00:48:07.480
the parents were a lot older, and they'd be up

517
00:48:07.519 --> 00:48:12.440
to ten eleven or whatever, and I think, what are

518
00:48:12.480 --> 00:48:16.480
they watching? Sounds like they're watching television, but what is it?

519
00:48:19.239 --> 00:48:23.559
Sometimes they go downstairs and pretend to need a drink,

520
00:48:25.599 --> 00:48:31.960
and I'd pop in and I'd see like maybe thirty

521
00:48:32.039 --> 00:48:39.079
seconds of an episode of Kojak, and I'd be thinking, Wow,

522
00:48:41.400 --> 00:48:45.960
spend the next week walking around saying who loves your baby?

523
00:48:46.599 --> 00:48:50.239
That's going to be lost on most people. Is she

524
00:48:50.400 --> 00:48:57.719
talking about? He loved sucking and lollipops. That's what he

525
00:48:57.800 --> 00:49:01.159
was famous for, being bored and sucking lollybops and saying,

526
00:49:01.559 --> 00:49:17.119
who loves your baby? Grace screen presence, Oh, Kojak, very memorable, memorable,

527
00:49:18.039 --> 00:49:25.039
memorable voice. What of the things that I see on

528
00:49:25.119 --> 00:49:30.440
the Telly Show? There was another show that I wasn't

529
00:49:30.480 --> 00:49:34.320
allowed to watch, Well, shows that were on that I

530
00:49:34.320 --> 00:49:42.199
didn't get to see, maybe shows that I've never seen

531
00:49:43.039 --> 00:49:48.800
because they were on too late. The ten o'clock news.

532
00:49:49.760 --> 00:49:54.440
I sometimes thought to myself, But what happens on that news?

533
00:49:56.079 --> 00:50:03.039
Is it different from the six o'clock news. What if

534
00:50:03.119 --> 00:50:09.519
something's happened I don't know about it, space invasion or

535
00:50:09.519 --> 00:50:18.280
something like that, not the game. But so I remember

536
00:50:18.320 --> 00:50:26.400
the the first night of having my own television, and

537
00:50:26.519 --> 00:50:28.960
I sat down on my bed and I looked at it.

538
00:50:29.199 --> 00:50:32.119
Didn't turn it on you, I just looked at it.

539
00:50:34.639 --> 00:50:40.119
I just let it all just soak in my own television,

540
00:50:41.119 --> 00:50:52.960
my own television, and I can choose to watch any

541
00:50:53.199 --> 00:51:02.119
channel I want, as long as it's BBC one, BBC two,

542
00:51:02.440 --> 00:51:06.639
ITV and channel four because that's why we had four channels.

543
00:51:07.800 --> 00:51:10.360
It doesn't seem particularly exciting if you break it down

544
00:51:10.440 --> 00:51:14.960
like that, but I can watch all four. I can

545
00:51:15.039 --> 00:51:23.360
watch all four channels. Wow. There was no remote control.

546
00:51:23.519 --> 00:51:26.159
It was an old black and white one with a

547
00:51:26.239 --> 00:51:29.519
knob that you had to turn in order to turn

548
00:51:29.559 --> 00:51:32.440
it on, and then another one, so I think it

549
00:51:32.480 --> 00:51:35.639
was I think, I think about if you turn it, no,

550
00:51:36.079 --> 00:51:37.559
you have to put it out to turn it on,

551
00:51:38.840 --> 00:51:41.320
turn it for the volume. And then there was another

552
00:51:41.400 --> 00:51:47.440
dial around it which would tune the television into the

553
00:51:47.519 --> 00:51:54.159
different channels, which is kind of weird, that whole thing.

554
00:51:54.320 --> 00:51:57.639
So it was it was an aerial and you kind

555
00:51:57.639 --> 00:52:00.960
of it was a lucky dip really to see where

556
00:52:00.960 --> 00:52:07.559
everyone might work, which is, you know, it's only four channels.

557
00:52:09.800 --> 00:52:13.480
But it was so exciting the first time I sat

558
00:52:13.559 --> 00:52:16.519
down and I was about to watch the news at ten,

559
00:52:18.559 --> 00:52:21.960
What is this secret thing? What are they going to

560
00:52:22.000 --> 00:52:26.320
be talking about? Is that the same as the news

561
00:52:26.320 --> 00:52:30.000
at six? Six o'clock news, ten o'clock news. It's the same,

562
00:52:31.079 --> 00:52:34.119
like what I mean, not every day, I mean, but

563
00:52:34.360 --> 00:52:38.039
like you know, it's just repeated pretty much the same stuff.

564
00:52:39.800 --> 00:52:51.039
Very disappointed, and I started delving. I started some research.

565
00:52:53.719 --> 00:52:59.079
The thing is I didn't have a TV guide. There

566
00:52:59.159 --> 00:53:05.800
was a TV guide downstairs, but it was surrounded by

567
00:53:05.920 --> 00:53:10.519
humans watching television, and I was in bed and I

568
00:53:10.559 --> 00:53:14.199
was supposed to be asleep, so I couldn't go down

569
00:53:14.239 --> 00:53:23.519
there because they might notice me, so I thought, so

570
00:53:23.559 --> 00:53:28.000
I had to pretty much. I guess it's the equivalent

571
00:53:28.360 --> 00:53:36.599
of surfing the internet. I don't know if anyone uses

572
00:53:36.639 --> 00:53:42.440
that term surfing the internet anymore, like Cowboys and Indians

573
00:53:42.519 --> 00:53:45.039
is not used anymore. That's why I would never use it.

574
00:53:48.559 --> 00:53:52.280
I think the thing that annoyed me most about getting

575
00:53:52.320 --> 00:53:58.920
picked last is there was this one time. It's not

576
00:53:58.960 --> 00:54:03.079
even a joke. It's time the kid in a wheelchair

577
00:54:03.159 --> 00:54:09.599
was picked before me. It's not as serious as seriously happened,

578
00:54:09.599 --> 00:54:18.599
as like, it's just no respect. I've got no respect.

579
00:54:20.679 --> 00:54:23.519
He was in a wheelchair because of his weight, basically

580
00:54:23.679 --> 00:54:28.119
had a glangular thing. Really nice bloke, and I really

581
00:54:28.159 --> 00:54:34.960
talked to him. I used to say hello to him,

582
00:54:35.199 --> 00:54:40.599
because I thought, you know, no one's talking to him,

583
00:54:40.679 --> 00:54:45.400
and just just like because he looks a bit different.

584
00:54:46.000 --> 00:54:48.000
I know what it's like. I've always looked a little

585
00:54:48.000 --> 00:54:54.079
bit different. Really, I've just been too good looking. That's

586
00:54:54.079 --> 00:54:58.079
one of the problems I've had over the years, too attractive.

587
00:55:01.159 --> 00:55:03.960
And I remember us talking to him and said, all right,

588
00:55:04.639 --> 00:55:07.760
and he said to me, why are you Why are

589
00:55:07.840 --> 00:55:10.920
you talking to me? I said, what do you mean?

590
00:55:11.079 --> 00:55:13.760
He said, why are you talking? Do you keep saying

591
00:55:13.800 --> 00:55:18.840
helone and asking me how I am? I said, I

592
00:55:18.920 --> 00:55:22.840
don't know, just I don't really know what to say

593
00:55:22.840 --> 00:55:28.320
to him. And he said, it's just really weird. I

594
00:55:28.360 --> 00:55:31.480
said why. He said, well, there is I don't know

595
00:55:31.480 --> 00:55:34.480
how many people in this year, how many people in

596
00:55:34.519 --> 00:55:40.400
this school, hundreds of people in this school. Right, Nobody

597
00:55:40.440 --> 00:55:51.119
talks to me, but you do. And I said, okay,

598
00:55:51.880 --> 00:55:54.920
I said, well why why why do you look so sad?

599
00:55:54.960 --> 00:55:57.880
He said, because you're You're the last person I want

600
00:55:57.920 --> 00:55:59.920
to talk to. Why do Why do I get stuck

601
00:56:00.960 --> 00:56:03.519
all those other people and they get stuck with you.

602
00:56:05.519 --> 00:56:07.719
I mean, if you not noticed, Jory, even more unpopular

603
00:56:07.800 --> 00:56:12.280
than me, you get picked last. And I thought that's

604
00:56:12.280 --> 00:56:16.519
a bit ungrateful. I just offered to eat half of

605
00:56:16.519 --> 00:56:22.079
his sandwich. But no, some people just don't appreciate anything.

606
00:56:25.519 --> 00:56:30.440
There was this one girl, and just shows you how wrong,

607
00:56:31.599 --> 00:56:37.760
how wrong to judge someone from the things. I was

608
00:56:37.840 --> 00:56:40.280
judging her from years and years and years of being

609
00:56:40.280 --> 00:56:43.159
in a classroom with her. So it wasn't like judging

610
00:56:43.199 --> 00:56:47.360
her from appearance or judging her from meeting her once

611
00:56:47.480 --> 00:56:51.599
or twice. I literally was in a classroom with her

612
00:56:52.639 --> 00:56:59.760
multiple times a week for four years, and I was

613
00:56:59.760 --> 00:57:03.000
all so in the dances class with her for about

614
00:57:03.119 --> 00:57:06.360
six months or a year. So yeah, I knew her,

615
00:57:07.079 --> 00:57:14.519
but I knew her as an observed her. She would

616
00:57:14.519 --> 00:57:18.119
not talk to anybody, she would not talk to a teacher,

617
00:57:18.559 --> 00:57:24.159
she would not do any work. She refused. Sometimes she'd

618
00:57:24.159 --> 00:57:27.480
have her tantrum and leave, but generally she would not

619
00:57:27.599 --> 00:57:34.519
do anything. And in the last year of school, we

620
00:57:34.519 --> 00:57:40.559
were all given wasn't work experience, because I had work

621
00:57:40.599 --> 00:57:43.679
experience in a building firm, but this was a separate thing.

622
00:57:44.280 --> 00:57:48.679
It is part of some lesson and schools full of

623
00:57:48.679 --> 00:57:53.199
those things and it lessens. So I was sent to

624
00:57:53.280 --> 00:57:58.159
this nursery like a children's not not with plants, but

625
00:57:58.239 --> 00:58:03.679
a children's place where the kids go at nursery school.

626
00:58:03.920 --> 00:58:12.079
So I was sent there on a Friday afternoon, I

627
00:58:12.119 --> 00:58:22.000
think it was, or maybe yeah, Friday afternoon, and I

628
00:58:22.039 --> 00:58:25.719
got picked to go with her or she got picked

629
00:58:25.760 --> 00:58:31.599
to go with me, one of them. And I was like, ah,

630
00:58:32.360 --> 00:58:34.360
I don't know who was more disappointed me or her

631
00:58:35.719 --> 00:58:38.559
it was, you know, I think we both. I just

632
00:58:38.599 --> 00:58:40.679
thought she was a weirdo and she probably thought I

633
00:58:40.719 --> 00:58:47.719
was a weirdo. And it's really strange because we had

634
00:58:47.760 --> 00:58:51.639
to walk why. I think they were just making fun

635
00:58:51.639 --> 00:58:56.039
of us, because I only did they send us together knowing

636
00:58:56.079 --> 00:59:00.360
that we never ever talked, never had a conversation in

637
00:59:00.559 --> 00:59:06.559
four years, knowing that she was probably the most difficult

638
00:59:06.599 --> 00:59:11.159
person in the classroom in the whole year. Maybe I

639
00:59:11.199 --> 00:59:13.719
was the most annoying. So that's what I did it.

640
00:59:16.719 --> 00:59:19.599
And we had to walk to the other side of town.

641
00:59:20.039 --> 00:59:23.960
I'm not even exaggerating. It was a good hour walk

642
00:59:24.480 --> 00:59:31.599
to get to this place, Okay, from school. Our walk

643
00:59:31.679 --> 00:59:38.280
there and by the same back, I suppose, and we

644
00:59:38.360 --> 00:59:42.800
started walking than the first time, and we were just

645
00:59:42.840 --> 00:59:46.639
walking separate. I was trying to get ahead of her,

646
00:59:46.679 --> 00:59:53.360
but she was taller than me. It turned out we

647
00:59:53.440 --> 01:00:05.159
became best friends, but only during that listen how weird.

648
01:00:05.679 --> 01:00:11.000
We would chat and laugh, mess about, you know, just

649
01:00:11.119 --> 01:00:15.360
really have a good time. As we walked there and

650
01:00:15.480 --> 01:00:19.239
on our way back where we were there, it was

651
01:00:19.320 --> 01:00:24.920
like fun. But as soon as we got close to

652
01:00:24.960 --> 01:00:27.800
the school, that was it. She stopped talking to me

653
01:00:28.159 --> 01:00:39.320
and ignored me until the next Friday. It was like,

654
01:00:39.639 --> 01:00:49.280
this is strange, because it's almost she had this. I

655
01:00:49.280 --> 01:00:52.639
think she was just pretending to be awkward because she

656
01:00:52.760 --> 01:01:06.800
was really nice, actually very funny and good company. It

657
01:01:07.000 --> 01:01:15.719
was yeah, very very strange. And I don't know. I

658
01:01:15.760 --> 01:01:18.639
don't know what she thought of me. She probably I

659
01:01:18.639 --> 01:01:20.840
don't know what anyone. I really don't know what anyone's

660
01:01:20.840 --> 01:01:28.320
ever thought about me. Really, I can't read minds. That's

661
01:01:28.360 --> 01:01:30.960
what a lot of people say that this. You can't.

662
01:01:31.000 --> 01:01:33.280
You can't read minds. He thinks he can, but you can't.

663
01:01:35.119 --> 01:01:37.320
The amount of people I've met that seem to know

664
01:01:37.920 --> 01:01:40.239
that if they think they know what other people are thinking,

665
01:01:41.599 --> 01:01:52.159
and they don't, they really don't, Okay, And I think

666
01:01:52.159 --> 01:01:53.800
it's a good thing that we don't know what each

667
01:01:53.840 --> 01:02:01.559
other are thinking. BlimE me, I can't think of any

668
01:02:01.559 --> 01:02:09.079
other TV shows that where there's been a change in characters.

669
01:02:11.199 --> 01:02:16.239
Probably The Cosby Show when they brought in because remember,

670
01:02:17.119 --> 01:02:22.760
is it Haley. Who was Claire Haley, the little girl

671
01:02:24.599 --> 01:02:28.639
who was hilarious when The Cosby Show first came out,

672
01:02:30.280 --> 01:02:33.840
and then she got old and they brought in another

673
01:02:33.840 --> 01:02:38.320
little girl. I don't know if it was someone they

674
01:02:38.360 --> 01:02:41.760
adopted or maybe it's one of their kids' daughters or something,

675
01:02:42.920 --> 01:02:48.639
and then she was really funny, So that was not Claire,

676
01:02:48.840 --> 01:03:00.800
because Claire is his wife, Claire. I can't remember Hayley.

677
01:03:04.719 --> 01:03:10.519
It's Huxtable. I know that's a surname. I don't even

678
01:03:10.559 --> 01:03:25.400
remember what his name was in it, Doctor Huxtable. There

679
01:03:25.519 --> 01:03:30.000
was a weird TV show right and this was in

680
01:03:30.360 --> 01:03:34.559
in the early eighties called Blake seven. Blake was only

681
01:03:34.639 --> 01:03:37.679
in the very first series and then he wasn't in

682
01:03:37.719 --> 01:03:43.119
it anymore. I think they messed up a little bit

683
01:03:43.159 --> 01:03:46.159
with the title of that, didn't they It wasn't in

684
01:03:46.199 --> 01:03:50.159
it now. I don't think he knew he wasn't going

685
01:03:50.199 --> 01:03:52.280
to be in it, because it was clearly the start

686
01:03:52.320 --> 01:03:56.159
of the show, because they called it Blake seven because

687
01:03:56.159 --> 01:03:59.800
there was seven people with Blake or there might have

688
01:03:59.800 --> 01:04:06.679
been six people with Blake, and Blake made the seventh. Well,

689
01:04:06.719 --> 01:04:08.480
I guess he would have made the first because he

690
01:04:08.639 --> 01:04:21.599
was the leader. M Goodies and Baddies used to be

691
01:04:21.719 --> 01:04:27.119
kind of another kind of game, you know, because there

692
01:04:27.159 --> 01:04:30.320
was a lot of that. There's a lot of cop

693
01:04:30.400 --> 01:04:35.679
shows on TV, like CHIPS. I remember riding about on

694
01:04:35.719 --> 01:04:41.159
my on my bike and thinking I was in Chips.

695
01:04:42.119 --> 01:04:48.199
I was a police motorbike person and what he used

696
01:04:48.239 --> 01:04:50.360
to do. I wasn't the only one who did this.

697
01:04:52.360 --> 01:04:58.480
We used to cut up a plastic what's it called

698
01:04:58.880 --> 01:05:04.199
that fairy liquid and then attach it with pegs to

699
01:05:04.320 --> 01:05:07.920
the spokes so it clicked when the wiel went round.

700
01:05:09.400 --> 01:05:15.480
That was us turning our little bikes into powerful motorbikes.

701
01:05:20.079 --> 01:05:23.079
Apparently I didn't look so good. I'd look better if

702
01:05:23.119 --> 01:05:28.960
I hadn't got stabilizers, which is a bit rude. I

703
01:05:29.000 --> 01:05:33.159
think all bikes should have stabilizers so that when you

704
01:05:33.360 --> 01:05:36.519
just get off it, it stays standing up. That makes sense,

705
01:05:38.039 --> 01:05:40.760
it does, don't it. And all these bikes that have

706
01:05:43.840 --> 01:05:48.599
the crossbar or not the crossbar as a crowbar. You

707
01:05:48.679 --> 01:05:50.719
know that bit where you have to put your leg

708
01:05:50.760 --> 01:05:56.840
over on a man's bike because the female bikes, they're

709
01:05:56.880 --> 01:05:59.639
still officially called men's and females bikes. If you're looking

710
01:06:00.880 --> 01:06:03.039
look in the shops there, they're there. I checked this

711
01:06:03.079 --> 01:06:05.039
out the other day, so I'm not going to get

712
01:06:05.039 --> 01:06:10.480
in trouble. Yeah, but you said cowboys and Indians. I said, no,

713
01:06:10.599 --> 01:06:13.000
I'm not saying that's the correct term. It's just what

714
01:06:13.199 --> 01:06:16.360
That's what it was called back then. So you know,

715
01:06:16.440 --> 01:06:20.079
I'm not trying to cause offense or anything. When that case,

716
01:06:20.159 --> 01:06:24.280
why do you keep mentioning it? I don't know. I

717
01:06:24.360 --> 01:06:32.239
realized I said it enough thought, ah, or I can't

718
01:06:32.360 --> 01:06:35.079
be backtrack. You could have just edited it out and

719
01:06:35.159 --> 01:06:38.639
just carried on. I said, I know that's the thing.

720
01:06:38.840 --> 01:06:41.880
You're right. I could just edit it out, but it's

721
01:06:41.880 --> 01:06:43.920
going to be impossible now because I've mentioned it too

722
01:06:43.960 --> 01:06:47.320
many times and it won't make sense unless I leave

723
01:06:47.360 --> 01:06:54.119
it in the original time. Ah. I think this is

724
01:06:54.159 --> 01:06:58.119
what they called first world problems. I don't know. I'm

725
01:06:58.119 --> 01:07:02.360
not into that whole first, second, fifth, fourth world or whatever.

726
01:07:03.599 --> 01:07:12.079
Come on, So a bit of equality TV. Two TV

727
01:07:12.199 --> 01:07:19.760
shows that I remember like for that period that i'd

728
01:07:19.800 --> 01:07:25.800
firstly never see before and also became my two favoritist

729
01:07:25.920 --> 01:07:30.639
programs in the whole world. But it was a secret,

730
01:07:30.920 --> 01:07:35.519
It's my little secret, because I wasn't supposed to be

731
01:07:35.559 --> 01:07:41.440
watching it. I was supposed to be asleep. They must

732
01:07:41.440 --> 01:07:46.400
have known. You don't give a fourteen year old a

733
01:07:46.519 --> 01:07:51.119
television in his bedroom and expect him to go to sleep.

734
01:07:53.239 --> 01:07:56.360
I don't mean not ever, but you know, generally i'd

735
01:07:56.480 --> 01:08:01.239
leave it on all night. Oh and the two TV

736
01:08:01.320 --> 01:08:04.599
shows that I really remember from those or three now

737
01:08:04.639 --> 01:08:07.960
I've got another one I remember, but the ones at night,

738
01:08:08.079 --> 01:08:11.719
late at night or at a time when I should

739
01:08:11.719 --> 01:08:19.560
have been in bed, Cheers, which I suppose maybe that

740
01:08:19.600 --> 01:08:35.960
was on a Friday night at nine. And Mesh, not Mesh, Mesh, Mesh,

741
01:08:36.359 --> 01:08:41.720
the medical drama that was Mesh, wasn't it, Or Mesh

742
01:08:41.880 --> 01:08:53.159
make Smash Mesh. Yeah it's Mesh, Yeah Mesh. So yeah,

743
01:08:53.960 --> 01:08:56.760
medical Army something. Yes, So I used to watch that.

744
01:08:57.439 --> 01:09:02.560
I loved them, Hawkeye and Clinger and all those people

745
01:09:03.840 --> 01:09:13.399
loved it. And watching Cheers that was when Dian was

746
01:09:13.439 --> 01:09:18.439
in Cheers, because you know, I watched Cheers all the

747
01:09:18.479 --> 01:09:24.600
way through until the last episode, which was in the

748
01:09:24.640 --> 01:09:28.399
early nineties, so went after quite a while, didn't it.

749
01:09:28.439 --> 01:09:33.000
Was it the early nineties or l eighties. I can't

750
01:09:33.039 --> 01:09:38.039
completely remember, but I think I started watching Cheers quite

751
01:09:38.119 --> 01:09:41.960
early on, because I think it was it started about

752
01:09:42.000 --> 01:09:47.159
eighty four roughly, so I must have watched it, although

753
01:09:48.560 --> 01:09:52.600
at that time might still be the case. But at

754
01:09:52.680 --> 01:10:03.920
that time England or the UK were always about quite

755
01:10:03.920 --> 01:10:08.800
a few months behind America with the TV shows. It's

756
01:10:08.840 --> 01:10:12.840
a weird one because what we would get, I say,

757
01:10:12.880 --> 01:10:17.880
there'd be sitcoms or like a really famous show that

758
01:10:17.920 --> 01:10:20.880
we watched here that was American that was big in

759
01:10:20.920 --> 01:10:24.520
America as well, we would get the Christmas episodes during

760
01:10:24.560 --> 01:10:32.119
the summer. Is this ridiculous? It was? I mean it

761
01:10:32.199 --> 01:10:35.319
might It might have been the same for America getting

762
01:10:35.520 --> 01:10:41.800
the Christmas British shows in the summer, you know, because

763
01:10:41.960 --> 01:10:45.560
there was there was a lag, a time lag of

764
01:10:47.039 --> 01:10:52.960
quite a few months. That might have changed. Now, I

765
01:10:53.039 --> 01:10:58.560
know with the streaming services there's there's not a lot

766
01:10:58.560 --> 01:11:04.760
of difference in time Now usually the release date would

767
01:11:04.800 --> 01:11:08.279
be the same date in England as well as being

768
01:11:08.520 --> 01:11:12.479
in America or Canada or Australia. They kind of have

769
01:11:12.600 --> 01:11:20.680
the same release date quite often. Yeah, But Cheers and

770
01:11:20.800 --> 01:11:27.960
Mash those was the two shows that I really remember

771
01:11:28.039 --> 01:11:34.960
watching and just being like wow. So Mesh was on

772
01:11:35.159 --> 01:11:38.640
BBC two. Still sounds like it's the wrong name for

773
01:11:38.680 --> 01:11:41.880
the TV show, but it is the right name. It

774
01:11:41.960 --> 01:11:51.560
just sounds weird. And Cheers was on Channel four. There

775
01:11:51.600 --> 01:11:54.600
was another show I used to like to watch where

776
01:11:54.600 --> 01:11:58.039
it's boxing. There's a boxing show on as well, but

777
01:11:58.079 --> 01:12:01.079
I'm pretty sure that used to be in the evening,

778
01:12:01.199 --> 01:12:09.359
but I might be wrong. Yeah, once I had that television,

779
01:12:09.399 --> 01:12:13.680
I didn't need to go downstairs to watch TV. It

780
01:12:13.760 --> 01:12:16.800
just didn't seem any point. Even though it was a

781
01:12:16.840 --> 01:12:22.359
big colored TV and all that stuff. I kind of

782
01:12:22.720 --> 01:12:29.039
rather just watch my black and white TV on my own.

783
01:12:30.479 --> 01:12:33.680
I've always preferred. I've just preferred watching TV on my

784
01:12:33.760 --> 01:12:39.520
own generally. I mean, I like doing it with Vinnie,

785
01:12:39.760 --> 01:12:47.039
providing he doesn't bark. But you know, I think it'd

786
01:12:47.079 --> 01:12:52.000
be different if I was im if I was in

787
01:12:52.039 --> 01:12:56.520
a room with someone that was enjoying what I was enjoying.

788
01:12:57.199 --> 01:13:03.319
So someone that loved boxing or someone that loves I

789
01:13:03.359 --> 01:13:05.479
don't know, kind of movies or the kind of box

790
01:13:05.520 --> 01:13:18.880
sets that I like. Yeah, I think i'd be quite comfortable. Yeah,

791
01:13:19.520 --> 01:13:26.760
I don't know, really, I wonder how long I've been

792
01:13:26.800 --> 01:13:34.199
talking for. I really don't know. It's dark out there now,

793
01:13:37.039 --> 01:13:50.159
not that long seventy four minutes. I just want to

794
01:13:50.239 --> 01:13:53.039
check because I'm going to be going to bed soon.

795
01:13:53.680 --> 01:13:57.760
I don't know what time it is. There's half ten,

796
01:13:59.039 --> 01:14:02.720
so it's time him to go to bed, pretty much,

797
01:14:05.000 --> 01:14:09.720
and what I would do. Hopefully this has been bored

798
01:14:09.880 --> 01:14:17.039
enough to send you off to sleepy land. I will

799
01:14:17.239 --> 01:14:20.399
edit this first thing in the morning and upload it.

800
01:14:22.279 --> 01:14:29.920
Hopefully there won't be too much editing necessary, hopefully, And

801
01:14:30.000 --> 01:14:33.399
then he's been very quiet. I think he's proper deep

802
01:14:33.439 --> 01:14:38.119
into a sleep. I know that if I go to

803
01:14:38.159 --> 01:14:41.239
get up, he'll growl at me. If he's asleep, I'm

804
01:14:41.239 --> 01:14:48.199
not being disturbed when he's when he's bye byes. This

805
01:14:48.239 --> 01:14:59.199
would be quite nice because I'm not any not had

806
01:14:59.239 --> 01:15:06.079
any distractions, no one at the door, know nothing out

807
01:15:06.119 --> 01:15:11.279
in the guard and not been looking at a computer screen,

808
01:15:12.800 --> 01:15:17.760
not been looking at my phone, having had the light on,

809
01:15:19.520 --> 01:15:29.720
just relaxing and chatting about who knows what, I'm black

810
01:15:29.760 --> 01:15:35.359
and white TV. Maybe I don't know. I'm not sure

811
01:15:35.800 --> 01:15:42.880
how I got to this subject, but I love that

812
01:15:43.039 --> 01:15:50.840
TV really did. I'm not really sure what happened to it?

813
01:15:57.239 --> 01:16:13.600
Hm hmm. I spent most of my most of the

814
01:16:13.760 --> 01:16:22.359
nineties watching black and white TVs, or at least the

815
01:16:22.359 --> 01:16:28.000
first half of the nineties and then the first part

816
01:16:28.079 --> 01:16:31.640
of the two thousands as well, watching black and white TVs,

817
01:16:34.840 --> 01:16:38.560
which is there was no reason for it. Not really.

818
01:16:43.560 --> 01:16:45.800
I think I had a or did I. I might

819
01:16:45.800 --> 01:16:48.880
have had a colored TV. Surely, why did I have

820
01:16:48.880 --> 01:16:54.680
a black and white TV? Maybe I did. No, I

821
01:16:54.760 --> 01:17:04.239
must have had a colored TV in the nineties. Now,

822
01:17:04.279 --> 01:17:06.640
that would have been impossible to I wouldn't have wanted

823
01:17:06.680 --> 01:17:10.000
to watch stuff on there on a black and white tea.

824
01:17:10.039 --> 01:17:12.000
It must have fair. It was a portable TV. It

825
01:17:12.079 --> 01:17:16.680
must have been color. I liked to think it was.

826
01:17:20.760 --> 01:17:23.239
But in two thousand and one, I had a black

827
01:17:23.239 --> 01:17:32.279
and white portable TV for a year or two. I

828
01:17:32.319 --> 01:17:36.039
could have got I had enough money coming in. I

829
01:17:36.079 --> 01:17:42.680
could have bought biggest TV. I just didn't. Just didn't.

830
01:17:42.760 --> 01:17:46.960
I don't know why I just watched this black and

831
01:17:47.000 --> 01:17:55.800
white TV. I don't know why. I really don't. Very strange.

832
01:17:57.239 --> 01:18:12.000
I was working full time, I was doing fairly well. Yeah, yeah,

833
01:18:12.079 --> 01:18:15.840
I don't know why. This is one of those weird,

834
01:18:16.560 --> 01:18:26.760
weird things. Really weird questions. I remember, I've got a

835
01:18:26.880 --> 01:18:32.520
portable TV with a built in video or no DVD

836
01:18:32.680 --> 01:18:41.800
player in two thousand and four, DVD player or video player?

837
01:18:50.960 --> 01:18:54.640
That is the question in that What was it dv

838
01:18:55.239 --> 01:19:01.800
DVD player or video player. I'm pretty sure I was

839
01:19:01.880 --> 01:19:11.479
still getting videos. I think it might have been a

840
01:19:11.560 --> 01:19:15.079
video player because I used to go to Blockbusters and

841
01:19:15.079 --> 01:19:18.119
I was pretty much the only person left that was

842
01:19:18.119 --> 01:19:24.279
renting videos. Most of the places in the every it's

843
01:19:24.359 --> 01:19:29.800
mainly DVDs, and I was. I just would not. I wouldn't.

844
01:19:29.840 --> 01:19:33.640
I just wouldn't. I didn't want to. I wanted videos.

845
01:19:35.079 --> 01:19:40.000
That's what I was used to, even though hardly anyone

846
01:19:40.000 --> 01:19:43.279
in the world used them anymore, not in this country anyway,

847
01:19:44.359 --> 01:19:49.560
in the two thousands, not for years, but I was,

848
01:19:58.359 --> 01:20:01.960
And now DVDs aren't even here used anymore already, so

849
01:20:02.000 --> 01:20:15.079
it seems to be streaming streaming. I used to have

850
01:20:15.199 --> 01:20:19.079
loads of DVDs. I had loads of videos when I

851
01:20:19.119 --> 01:20:24.640
was when I was living at the YMCA. Yeah, I

852
01:20:24.640 --> 01:20:27.279
did have a colored TV because I had a video player,

853
01:20:28.000 --> 01:20:35.079
and I had loads of videos, loads. I'd buy them.

854
01:20:35.079 --> 01:20:40.920
Not didn't go to Blockbusters. I bought the videos and

855
01:20:41.159 --> 01:20:46.720
I'd buy loads, and one day I thought, I'm going

856
01:20:46.800 --> 01:20:49.720
to get rid of these. So what I did is

857
01:20:49.760 --> 01:20:56.920
I donated them to the YMCA homeless place, so they

858
01:20:56.920 --> 01:20:59.800
had like videos to watch and stuff. There's loads of

859
01:21:00.079 --> 01:21:05.680
today videos. I had a pretty pretty good collection. Actually,

860
01:21:09.960 --> 01:21:13.279
I don't know why. Why didn't I just yeah, why

861
01:21:13.279 --> 01:21:17.439
didn't I just go to Blockbusters? It was literally at

862
01:21:17.439 --> 01:21:24.680
the end of the road. Maybe I couldn't. Maybe I

863
01:21:24.680 --> 01:21:30.119
didn't know. Maybe I didn't Yeah, I don't know. I

864
01:21:30.159 --> 01:21:31.880
can't really say I didn't know where it was because

865
01:21:31.880 --> 01:21:33.439
I had to walk past it every day to go

866
01:21:33.520 --> 01:21:37.520
to work. I knew where it was, but it was

867
01:21:37.560 --> 01:21:46.119
across the roads, and maybe I just couldn't be bothered across. Oh.

868
01:21:46.720 --> 01:21:50.520
The thing is, back then, I remember standing in Virgin

869
01:21:51.319 --> 01:21:59.680
as even Virgin or HMV and I'd be upstairs in

870
01:21:59.720 --> 01:22:06.479
the video department looking for something to spend my money on,

871
01:22:09.800 --> 01:22:12.640
and I'd be there till close in time. I just

872
01:22:13.000 --> 01:22:18.800
couldn't decide what to buy. And part of the reason

873
01:22:18.800 --> 01:22:22.079
I when in late is because there's less people around

874
01:22:22.159 --> 01:22:25.159
at that time. It just meant I could have more

875
01:22:25.159 --> 01:22:28.920
of a fiddle, you know, like have a little go

876
01:22:29.079 --> 01:22:32.199
through this stuff and look at all the covers and the

877
01:22:32.319 --> 01:22:36.199
backs of the covers, and without having to move away

878
01:22:36.359 --> 01:22:42.000
whenever someone because as there's that kind of protocol, isn't there.

879
01:22:43.159 --> 01:22:47.239
If you're standing somewhere look at something and someone sort

880
01:22:47.279 --> 01:22:51.680
of moved towards you, it's almost it's time to move

881
01:22:51.760 --> 01:22:57.960
away to let them go there. Well, you don't have

882
01:22:58.000 --> 01:23:03.520
to do that, there's no one around. It's yeah, I've

883
01:23:03.520 --> 01:23:06.479
done that myself. She's like, someone's standing there and I've

884
01:23:06.560 --> 01:23:10.199
kind of moved towards them and they've moved away. I

885
01:23:10.239 --> 01:23:14.880
remember saying to the a friend who worked beyond the

886
01:23:15.000 --> 01:23:19.159
counter at HMV, and I said, I mentioned it to him.

887
01:23:19.439 --> 01:23:23.640
I said, it's amazing that technique. It's like human nature.

888
01:23:24.399 --> 01:23:29.640
You you walk up towards someone and they just move away.

889
01:23:29.720 --> 01:23:32.279
So and they they're so polite and they let you

890
01:23:32.359 --> 01:23:35.479
look at the stuff. And he said, that's not the reason,

891
01:23:35.520 --> 01:23:44.399
it's because you stink that what he laughed. Have a bath?

892
01:23:45.680 --> 01:23:54.159
I did at some point. I think Phinnages did a burb.

893
01:23:59.319 --> 01:24:03.359
So I'm going to go, can it go? So thank

894
01:24:03.399 --> 01:24:09.399
you for listening. Remember to be kind to yourself because

895
01:24:09.439 --> 01:24:13.640
you do deserve to be happy, and also be gentle

896
01:24:13.680 --> 01:24:26.359
with yourself. You deserve to feel safe. Lots of love, Bye,
