Hello, and welcome to jasonnew Land dot com. Money is

2
00:00:09.400 --> 00:00:17.000
Jason a new Land. Please only listen when you can

3
00:00:17.039 --> 00:00:21.079
safely close your eyes. This is Q and a Friday,

4
00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:27.079
Q and a Friday, but being recorded on a Saturday.

5
00:00:29.239 --> 00:00:35.600
So should have done this yesterday, good Friday, the eighteenth

6
00:00:35.719 --> 00:00:42.359
of April twenty twenty five, but I am now doing

7
00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:48.200
it instead on Saturday. The I suppose still good Saturday.

8
00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:53.200
Maybe nineteenth of April do I'd say eighteenth April yesterday,

9
00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:58.000
nineteenth of April today, twenty twenty five at seven forty

10
00:00:58.039 --> 00:01:05.200
four am. That's more information than any of us really needed,

11
00:01:05.239 --> 00:01:10.200
isn't it? And I wear my pink crocs. I mean

12
00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:14.319
my right buttck is itchier than my left buttock. I mean,

13
00:01:14.359 --> 00:01:17.519
what what stuff do we really need to hear about? Awe,

14
00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:26.879
Okay really wants a treat, but for some reason he's gone.

15
00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:36.280
He's on a cety, happy to clean himself if I

16
00:01:36.359 --> 00:01:41.799
crink all the thing. Oh yeah, he's noticed. Do you

17
00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:52.959
want to treat chewy chicken twists with one hundred natural

18
00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:59.920
chicken breast meat promotes dental hygiene? Good boy, it's called

19
00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:07.040
and let least say what is it? He's just looking

20
00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:09.680
at me like, who cares what it says on the packet?

21
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:19.520
Just give me it a complete pet food. Okay, there

22
00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:30.120
you goo, good boy. He loves them. Basically, he loves them.

23
00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:33.240
I would say it's probably his favorite treat that he's

24
00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:37.960
had ever. Sorry about all the noise, the chairs, a

25
00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:42.159
bit clickery, clickery, it's just got that that will keep

26
00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:47.199
my occupied for about occupied. He'll keep him occupied for

27
00:02:47.319 --> 00:02:57.319
about ten minutes, I think, unlike most other treats, which

28
00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:01.960
keep him occupied for like treat treats will keep occupied

29
00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:09.080
and maybe ten seconds. You know, the ones that are edible.

30
00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:12.280
The only things that keep that last any amount of

31
00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:19.000
time is like a bone thing I'm nicking. That can

32
00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:21.439
keep him going for an hour or two? What an hour?

33
00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:27.759
Maybe an egg because he likes to break up the

34
00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:31.680
eggshell into a million pieces, so you know, that can

35
00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:41.000
keep him going for put twenty minutes. I feel like

36
00:03:41.039 --> 00:03:42.759
I want to time him now just to see how

37
00:03:42.759 --> 00:03:47.319
long it actually takes, but I won't. So I'll briefly

38
00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:50.400
tell you about what happened last night. We yesterday just

39
00:03:50.439 --> 00:04:03.240
because the reason bloody fleas. So I will tell you

40
00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:18.639
what happened yesterday because EO. But I posted yesterday on

41
00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:23.279
my Facebook group, which is Jason Newland's boring group, wasn't

42
00:04:23.319 --> 00:04:25.319
able to do Q and a Friday today due to

43
00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:28.639
some neighbor drama, but will try and do it tomorrow.

44
00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:33.519
I'm going to bed or I'm now going to bed now.

45
00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:36.759
That wasn't grammatically correct. I didn't put I wasn't able,

46
00:04:36.920 --> 00:04:42.360
just wasn't able. The English language is going downhill. The

47
00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:45.839
written English language is going downhill. And I understand why

48
00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:48.879
because there's so much stuff we don't need to really

49
00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:53.480
put in, because no one's gonna put wasn't able to

50
00:04:53.519 --> 00:04:56.160
do Q and a Friday. Is there anyone in the

51
00:04:56.160 --> 00:05:00.560
world reading that thinking who wasn't able to? Who's he

52
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:04.839
talking about? Is he talking about Vinny? Is he talking

53
00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:08.959
about the Milkman? Is he talking about I don't know.

54
00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:12.120
I'm just confused. No, it's me, obviously I'm in the

55
00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:19.920
first person, but it isn't, you know, grammatically correct. Hmmm.

56
00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:29.480
Mike wrote, I hope you update this on a drama

61
00:05:57.240 --> 00:05:59.920

64

I can't find it at Louisa welcome it says Hi Jason.

65
00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:18.040
Hi everyone. You've been my sandman for a couple of

66
00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:21.480
years now, and every single night I tell myself remember

67
00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:25.759
to join the Facebook group tomorrow, then forget the moment

68
00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:29.480
I wake up. But here I am. Lately, I've been

69
00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:32.680
really stressed. I have to leave London and move back

70
00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:37.120
to Paris. Thanks Brexit, and you've helped me unwind and

71
00:06:37.199 --> 00:06:40.399
let my mind wander. I haven't subscribed to a YouTube

72
00:06:40.439 --> 00:06:43.560
channel yet, but I will soon. But over the years

73
00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:46.199
I've built up this whole mental image of your flat,

74
00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:49.560
the windows, the guard and the setup, and I'm slightly

75
00:06:49.600 --> 00:06:54.680
scared would clash with my imagination. Are you planning to visit?

76
00:06:55.639 --> 00:06:58.759
Are you planning to move in? Don't worry, it's it.

77
00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:03.279
I'm sure. I don't know if I've actually done. I

78
00:07:03.279 --> 00:07:08.959
haven't done much videos of of the flat really. I

79
00:07:08.959 --> 00:07:11.519
did a video when I first moved in, when I

80
00:07:11.560 --> 00:07:15.399
got the carpet put in, so when I late, when

81
00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:22.079
I got the carpet laid. Yeah, I was quite pleased

82
00:07:22.120 --> 00:07:27.120
because everything was immaculate, really the whole factually only time

83
00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:33.959
ever that the flat was immaculate, and since then, because

84
00:07:33.959 --> 00:07:40.199
I moved in in April twenty fifteen, in November or

85
00:07:40.279 --> 00:07:42.240
maybe it was October, I don't know. I think about

86
00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:47.120
November time I got Andre in my little ferret, and

87
00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:50.399
from that moment on, the flat was no longer immaculate

88
00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:55.839
and hasn't been since. He destroyed the setti that I had,

89
00:07:56.079 --> 00:08:01.720
like literally ripped it to bits. He destroyed the carpet,

90
00:08:02.160 --> 00:08:05.120
He pretty much destroyed the bottoms of all the doors.

91
00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:15.680
He yeah, he made it his own. And I still

92
00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:17.519
love him to bit, so, you know, even though he's

93
00:08:17.560 --> 00:08:22.240
not around anymore. But he yeah, I mean I made

94
00:08:22.360 --> 00:08:25.240
my my impression as well. I mean, it's not like

95
00:08:25.360 --> 00:08:30.120
he's the only one. Can't blame him for everything. And

96
00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:33.639
then then a couple of years ago, I got Vinnie,

97
00:08:34.879 --> 00:08:39.360
and he's pretty much done the same, you know, ripped

98
00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:44.840
up the carpet and done. You know, just he's a

99
00:08:44.879 --> 00:08:49.519
little dog and he's he is. He keeps a place

100
00:08:49.600 --> 00:08:56.200
very messy, and it's good because I can blame him,

101
00:08:56.399 --> 00:08:59.720
even though probably most of the messes me. So I'm messy,

102
00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:04.200
a bit messy. I'm better off. I mean, I don't

103
00:09:04.360 --> 00:09:08.120
have much stuff really other than the equipment to make

104
00:09:08.120 --> 00:09:14.879
the podcast, television and some books. That's pretty much my belongings.

105
00:09:14.960 --> 00:09:18.679
I don't have lots and lots of belongings. I don't.

106
00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:31.279
So really it's I would say it's relatively tidy in here.

107
00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:33.720
Just there's stuff on the floor that I that needs

108
00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:36.320
to be picked up. These toys are all over the

109
00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:42.360
floor and the bedroom it's clothes on the bedroom floor,

110
00:09:42.399 --> 00:09:47.919
you know, things like that. So you can help tidy

111
00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:55.000
up when you move in. Right, what's next? I they

112
00:09:55.039 --> 00:10:01.159
did eat yesterday? Wow, So I admit that I was

113
00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:09.679
running behind. I wasn't really feeling it yesterday anyway. I

114
00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:13.600
spent a lot of the day in bed. The morning

115
00:10:13.720 --> 00:10:18.240
I was relaxing, but I wasn't really I didn't have

116
00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:24.799
much in a way of energy. Okay, I took a

117
00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:32.960
little one out for a wa l k and it

118
00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:35.159
was you know, it was fine, said a load to

119
00:10:35.159 --> 00:10:39.200
a couple of people. It was nice enough. Came back,

120
00:10:40.039 --> 00:10:44.519
watched a bit of Telly and really just sort of

121
00:10:44.840 --> 00:10:48.919
spent a bit of time in bed in the afternoon,

122
00:10:52.519 --> 00:10:55.840
realizing that I still hadn't done anything. Bearing in mind

123
00:10:55.840 --> 00:10:58.480
I've been making two to three recordings a day for

124
00:10:58.519 --> 00:11:02.279
the last week or so, so I having not made

125
00:11:02.320 --> 00:11:07.919
one recording, and I didn't think did I even make

126
00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:12.000
a recording Thursday? I don't think I did, So I've

127
00:11:12.039 --> 00:11:17.960
gotten right downhill. My work ethic is ridiculously bad, terrible

128
00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:25.080
if it was a job. The last recording I did

129
00:11:25.360 --> 00:11:33.360
was the seventeenth of April, so yeah, it was Thursday, Friday, Saturday.

130
00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:36.440
So I did do a recording on Thursday, but I

131
00:11:36.440 --> 00:11:45.159
did one. But Wednesday I did one two, but fit

132
00:11:45.799 --> 00:12:05.159
on Tuesday I did one two two, Monday one two three. Yeah, wow,

133
00:12:05.320 --> 00:12:10.440
Sunday I did three blind me. Okay, well you want

134
00:12:10.480 --> 00:12:16.480
another one. That's the last one that didn't last ten minutes?

135
00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:24.879
Did it? He thinks it's his food and it's not

136
00:12:24.960 --> 00:12:28.559
his food. It's not it's a tree, but he thinks

137
00:12:28.559 --> 00:12:31.919
it's his food. He didn't even eat his bottle of food.

138
00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:39.919
Like yesterday afternoon. Anyway, I get a phone call. I'm

139
00:12:39.960 --> 00:12:42.639
hearing a bit of commotion in the garden. Not my garden,

140
00:12:42.679 --> 00:12:49.559
but a garden nearby, and I don't mean what's going on.

141
00:12:49.799 --> 00:12:51.840
There's always a bit of drama around here, you know,

142
00:12:52.519 --> 00:13:00.200
people shouting and stuff like that. And then I get

143
00:13:00.200 --> 00:13:02.120
a phone. I get a phone call from my friend,

144
00:13:02.519 --> 00:13:05.960
a local neighbor. He said, can I just pop around

145
00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:10.440
and see you? I said, yeah, come around. He didn't

146
00:13:10.440 --> 00:13:13.720
seem very happy, but he came around. But his voice

147
00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:16.600
didn't seem great. So his voice is fine, but he

148
00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:20.200
didn't seem in a good mood, that's what I mean.

149
00:13:21.279 --> 00:13:23.080
So anyway, he came around. I'm not going to go

150
00:13:23.279 --> 00:13:30.399
in to specifics, but he came around and just told

151
00:13:30.399 --> 00:13:33.200
me he'd had a there's some problems he was having.

152
00:13:34.480 --> 00:13:49.159
And then later on I saw a lady outside better

153
00:13:49.159 --> 00:13:51.159
than mind. I was in the middle of watching Big Brother,

154
00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:56.799
so I had two goals yesterday catch up with Big Brother,

155
00:13:58.039 --> 00:14:00.360
so that I watched the final you know, the picture

156
00:14:00.480 --> 00:14:05.720
night live. Having caught up with it, so I'd already

157
00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:11.480
watched one episode, so it was two episodes behind, and

158
00:14:11.559 --> 00:14:14.320
I was going to watch Thursday's episode and I got

159
00:14:14.360 --> 00:14:20.159
about ten minutes into it, so there was still quite

160
00:14:20.159 --> 00:14:22.759
a bit maybe fifteen minutes. There was still quite a

161
00:14:22.759 --> 00:14:24.799
lot to go, but I paused it where my friend

162
00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:26.960
said he was going to come around my neighbor. So

163
00:14:27.000 --> 00:14:35.519
he came around, and then I fast forward a little bit.

164
00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:41.759
There was a lady outside the front of my building

165
00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:53.279
laying on the pavement, and it was like, okay, what's

166
00:14:53.360 --> 00:15:00.519
going on here? So I went into sort of she

167
00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:07.080
was unconscious at this point, but she was breathing, like

168
00:15:07.240 --> 00:15:09.200
you know, she was kind of moving around a bit,

169
00:15:10.360 --> 00:15:14.240
but there was cans of drink on the floor next

170
00:15:14.240 --> 00:15:19.559
to her, like alcoholic drinks. So I'd like, oh, okay,

171
00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:22.559
now this this, this whole this kind of surprised me

172
00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:25.720
a little bit. So I called for an ambulance. I said,

173
00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:28.960
They said, is she breathing? And said, yeah, what's her name?

174
00:15:29.039 --> 00:15:30.799
I don't know what her name is, which I didn't

175
00:15:31.759 --> 00:15:35.960
I did find out later, and I was saying, or

176
00:15:37.360 --> 00:15:39.360
do you know what's wrong with us? I said, noice,

177
00:15:39.679 --> 00:15:42.960
I've called for an ambulance. I don't we don't know.

178
00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:45.639
I just found her. She's lying on the floor on

179
00:15:45.679 --> 00:15:55.600
the pavement, and I'm just concerned that she needs medical help.

180
00:15:57.440 --> 00:16:00.519
So when I told them about the cans of alcohol,

181
00:16:01.159 --> 00:16:04.759
and I said, she does you know, I think she

182
00:16:04.879 --> 00:16:10.919
might have been drinking immediately. It's almost like they lost

183
00:16:11.000 --> 00:16:18.080
interest in the conversation, which was weird because I was

184
00:16:18.120 --> 00:16:24.200
talking to someone who literally was telling like, usually they're

185
00:16:24.279 --> 00:16:31.000
quite attentive and but they take it seriously. This bloke

186
00:16:31.360 --> 00:16:38.120
didn't seem to really be interested as soon as alcohol's involved.

187
00:16:38.159 --> 00:16:42.600
He wasn't like, oh, oh, well. And I was kind

188
00:16:42.600 --> 00:16:48.240
of surprised at that, and I said, yeah, but she's

189
00:16:48.879 --> 00:16:55.080
a vulnerable female. She's not able to protect herself. She's

190
00:16:55.120 --> 00:16:57.639
not able to really stop anyone doing anything they want

191
00:16:57.679 --> 00:17:04.880
to do right now, and no one's helping her. The

192
00:17:04.920 --> 00:17:07.640
weird things that I said this, people were starting to stop.

193
00:17:08.599 --> 00:17:12.000
It turned out she'd been out there for three hours,

194
00:17:13.359 --> 00:17:16.559
but she'd been knocking on people's doors and some of

195
00:17:16.559 --> 00:17:19.039
the neighbors were actually keep an eye out on her.

196
00:17:19.480 --> 00:17:21.519
But because she was drunk, they just didn't know what

197
00:17:21.559 --> 00:17:23.920
to do with her, you know, they didn't want to

198
00:17:24.000 --> 00:17:28.880
let her in her in their house, and she was

199
00:17:28.920 --> 00:17:34.960
given the She was given her dad's phone number to

200
00:17:35.319 --> 00:17:41.039
different neighbors and stuff, so she had that down in

201
00:17:41.039 --> 00:17:43.640
her head. This is a mobile number. She had both

202
00:17:43.640 --> 00:17:46.519
her mom and her dad's phone number lodged in her head.

203
00:17:46.599 --> 00:17:52.559
So I don't know. She don't know how drunk she

204
00:17:52.599 --> 00:17:55.440
could have been, and she was able to recall two

205
00:17:55.680 --> 00:17:59.680
mobile phone numbers. But maybe that's just how what I

206
00:17:59.720 --> 00:18:03.920
show my ignorance. Maybe I don't know. I just don't

207
00:18:03.960 --> 00:18:07.799
know how much of it was like it exaggerated. But

208
00:18:07.880 --> 00:18:11.880
at the time I didn't know she was drunk. Yeah

209
00:18:11.920 --> 00:18:16.480
she had some cans, but yeah she she she might

210
00:18:16.519 --> 00:18:19.200
have had as far as I was concerned, I didn't know.

211
00:18:19.359 --> 00:18:26.799
She might have tripped over and hurt herself. She might

212
00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:31.880
have had a seizure, she might have It's it's all

213
00:18:31.960 --> 00:18:35.200
kinds of weird things. You know. Just because someone's been

214
00:18:35.240 --> 00:18:38.759
drinking alcohol doesn't mean that they're exempt from medical attention.

215
00:18:40.079 --> 00:18:50.240
That's my opinion. So I mean, yeah, if it's self inflicted, okay,

216
00:18:50.359 --> 00:18:55.559
But lots of things are self inflicted. Someone driving really

217
00:18:55.640 --> 00:19:02.240
rubbishly and speeding, and if they have a crash, ambulance

218
00:19:02.279 --> 00:19:05.240
still come. They don't say you were speeding, I'm not

219
00:19:05.240 --> 00:19:12.200
going to help you, do They? In fact, literally literal

220
00:19:12.440 --> 00:19:17.720
self inflicted wounds get treed by an ambulance. So then

221
00:19:17.720 --> 00:19:22.720
he stopped fidgeting. Please mate, be mind me. He's not

222
00:19:22.759 --> 00:19:26.480
even eating all of that treat so I accord an ambulance.

223
00:19:26.559 --> 00:19:31.680
I had this weird conversation and they said, is she injured?

224
00:19:31.799 --> 00:19:34.640
So I said, are you injured? Because at this point

225
00:19:34.680 --> 00:19:36.480
she had her eyes open and she's not a jess.

226
00:19:37.519 --> 00:19:41.119
I said, she's not in yes. Oh, I don't know

227
00:19:41.160 --> 00:19:44.200
what we're going to do, bloke. Really, I've never had

228
00:19:44.200 --> 00:19:47.480
a conversation with someone from embudence before. They usually like

229
00:19:47.680 --> 00:19:51.559
stick to the script. It just it's almost like you

230
00:19:51.640 --> 00:19:54.720
just put the script down and went for cigarette break

231
00:19:54.759 --> 00:19:56.160
and just talking to me while I was on a

232
00:19:56.160 --> 00:19:59.960
cigarette break. Yeah, well, you know, not much we can.

233
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:04.839
What you do is ah, really, well, can you send

234
00:20:04.839 --> 00:20:09.279
the police or something? Because she's not in a good

235
00:20:09.319 --> 00:20:14.079
way and she's vulnerable, vulnerable female because I realized they're

236
00:20:14.079 --> 00:20:17.000
not that bothered about men, so maybe they'll be cared

237
00:20:17.000 --> 00:20:21.279
a bit more about women in that situation. But no,

238
00:20:23.680 --> 00:20:30.359
and it's weird, and they said, well, call call us back. Well,

239
00:20:30.359 --> 00:20:33.480
we'll call the police, but you know, whether we don't

240
00:20:33.480 --> 00:20:36.160
know if they're going to come or not, and if

241
00:20:36.160 --> 00:20:43.000
anything worse happened, and just call us back. Okay. So

242
00:20:44.279 --> 00:20:49.200
then she she's laying in the road, she's like half

243
00:20:49.279 --> 00:20:54.960
laying in the road, and I'm thinking, well, this is

244
00:20:55.039 --> 00:21:00.279
getting more dangerous now, because I mean lucky I was.

245
00:21:00.440 --> 00:21:03.880
I was standing in the road with her. I'm not

246
00:21:03.880 --> 00:21:05.359
going to push it in the road. No, I wasn't.

247
00:21:05.680 --> 00:21:07.440
I was standing in there with her to make sure

248
00:21:07.519 --> 00:21:12.720
no cars kind of ran her over because literally there

249
00:21:12.759 --> 00:21:15.880
was a car parked just in front so as a

250
00:21:16.039 --> 00:21:19.559
as a bend, so it would have been quite easy

251
00:21:19.759 --> 00:21:24.000
for a car to drive around the other car, not

252
00:21:24.119 --> 00:21:27.400
knowing that she was behind the car. You know, it

253
00:21:27.519 --> 00:21:29.319
was kind of a bit of a blind spot I

254
00:21:29.319 --> 00:21:33.599
could imagine, especially if they were driving into park and

255
00:21:33.640 --> 00:21:36.880
they could have they could have hit her potentially. So

256
00:21:37.240 --> 00:21:41.599
I stopped. I was just stood there to make sure

257
00:21:41.680 --> 00:21:47.640
no one did that. And then two neighbors parked up

258
00:21:47.720 --> 00:21:51.079
in their cars. It's quite weird. So they were kind

259
00:21:51.119 --> 00:21:53.279
of standing around, like what were you going to do?

260
00:21:54.200 --> 00:21:56.759
A bloke stopped with his dog who was another neighbor

261
00:21:56.920 --> 00:22:01.559
was walking his dog, and which I was. I was.

262
00:22:01.960 --> 00:22:05.839
I was glad to have that support, to be honest,

263
00:22:07.240 --> 00:22:08.839
I just didn't know what to do. I didn't know.

264
00:22:09.440 --> 00:22:13.279
And then so I called the police and the police

265
00:22:13.319 --> 00:22:19.640
are talking to me, and ah, so she's in the road.

266
00:22:19.720 --> 00:22:22.359
Can you not get her off the road? I said,

267
00:22:22.359 --> 00:22:27.400
I don't. I don't want to touch her. You know, she's,

268
00:22:27.640 --> 00:22:30.720
as I said before, she's a she's a female, vulnerable.

269
00:22:30.920 --> 00:22:34.920
I don't want to be grabbing her. And I understand

270
00:22:35.000 --> 00:22:37.480
if there was who was a motorway, I haven't have

271
00:22:37.559 --> 00:22:40.279
to think about it. But this is a very quiet

272
00:22:40.359 --> 00:22:43.559
road and there's no way anyone was going to hit

273
00:22:43.599 --> 00:22:47.519
her because I was stopping it. But she's like, oh,

274
00:22:48.240 --> 00:22:49.839
and she was telling me to get away from her,

275
00:22:51.079 --> 00:22:53.880
so that you know that that in itself wasn't particularly good.

276
00:22:56.240 --> 00:22:59.039
And he said, well, if you tried putting your trousers

277
00:22:59.039 --> 00:23:01.680
back on and then offering to help, And I said,

278
00:23:01.720 --> 00:23:05.720
I'm wearing trousers. What stupid? And he said, well, you

279
00:23:05.759 --> 00:23:09.079
know we can. That didn't That didn't happen. I don't

280
00:23:09.079 --> 00:23:13.279
know why I'm saying that. And she's it went weird

281
00:23:13.319 --> 00:23:20.640
after this that that wasn't the weird part. So I

282
00:23:21.079 --> 00:23:25.279
step away. She starts getting up, so she's getting up now,

283
00:23:27.039 --> 00:23:30.599
and she starts talking to someone else. She goes over

284
00:23:30.680 --> 00:23:34.920
to a car and starts trying to open a car door,

285
00:23:35.079 --> 00:23:40.440
pulling on it and hitting the car not hard, and

286
00:23:40.480 --> 00:23:42.920
I said to the police, I was just trying to

287
00:23:42.960 --> 00:23:49.000
get in a car. Now that peaked their interest. If

288
00:23:49.000 --> 00:23:53.279
it was criminal damage, they'd come to that, so her

289
00:23:53.319 --> 00:23:57.920
welfare wasn't particularly important to them. But and I don't

290
00:23:57.960 --> 00:24:00.759
know why, but I guess just because she's drink drunk

291
00:24:00.799 --> 00:24:04.839
or whatever. But the idea that she was maybe hurt

292
00:24:04.839 --> 00:24:10.279
in a car with that old criminal damage, and they

293
00:24:10.319 --> 00:24:12.720
really grabbed old of that. Also, she's trying to get

294
00:24:12.720 --> 00:24:15.519
into a car. She's doing like yeah. But I told

295
00:24:15.559 --> 00:24:18.720
her to get off and she did because it was

296
00:24:18.720 --> 00:24:20.799
a neighbor's car. So I said, can you get off?

297
00:24:21.000 --> 00:24:23.720
Actually I said it nicely, but Lee, can you leave

298
00:24:23.759 --> 00:24:25.960
that alone? And she looked at me, So that's a

299
00:24:25.960 --> 00:24:29.640
neighbor's car, Move away, and she did. I said, there's

300
00:24:29.680 --> 00:24:33.319
no damage, no damage, no harm done. You know. She

301
00:24:33.559 --> 00:24:38.559
I wanted to get arrested. I wanted to get some help. Well,

302
00:24:39.359 --> 00:24:43.319
in the meantime, I'm talking to the police for about

303
00:24:43.359 --> 00:24:45.960
ten minutes. We're not the police, but they're nine ninety nine.

304
00:24:46.759 --> 00:24:51.480
This bloke with a dog is he's actually on the

305
00:24:51.480 --> 00:24:55.359
phone because she's walked around the bushes and just she's

306
00:24:55.359 --> 00:24:59.279
falling down multiple times, and you never see a toddler

307
00:25:01.000 --> 00:25:05.160
like balancing on a toy, you know that, a toddler

308
00:25:05.200 --> 00:25:07.799
in the gardens and they're balancing on a toy and

309
00:25:07.839 --> 00:25:10.480
it's like, oh, they're going to fall, They're going to fall,

310
00:25:10.839 --> 00:25:13.319
but they don't what. It was a bit like that

311
00:25:13.400 --> 00:25:17.200
with this woman, but she actually did fall. She's going

312
00:25:17.240 --> 00:25:20.640
to fall, she's oh, yeah, she's gone, but she kept

313
00:25:20.640 --> 00:25:24.920
getting up. It's like a weeble, you know, weeble's wobble,

314
00:25:24.960 --> 00:25:27.359
but they don't fall down. I mean, she did fall down,

315
00:25:27.400 --> 00:25:32.079
but she did get up again. And I guess I'm

316
00:25:32.119 --> 00:25:41.359
the one that wobbles really anyway, she he got her telephone,

317
00:25:41.359 --> 00:25:43.480
her dad's telephone number. He's on the phone to her dad.

318
00:25:43.960 --> 00:25:45.920
He found a mom up. Mum, what didn't want to know?

319
00:25:46.680 --> 00:25:50.000
So this is this is someone that's in a I

320
00:25:50.000 --> 00:25:56.440
don't know, late thirties, possibly this this this lady maybe

321
00:25:56.440 --> 00:26:00.720
even early forties, middle thirties and early forties, I don't know,

322
00:26:00.880 --> 00:26:09.119
to be fair, and yeah, probably thirties. So I did

323
00:26:09.160 --> 00:26:12.039
see her dad, so he was he founded. My mom

324
00:26:12.079 --> 00:26:14.480
didn't want to know. He found the dad up and

325
00:26:14.519 --> 00:26:18.039
her dad said, I'm already on my way because it's

326
00:26:18.079 --> 00:26:22.839
from London, like he's ten minutes away. That's why he said,

327
00:26:22.839 --> 00:26:24.799
he's ten minutes away. How can it be ten minutes

328
00:26:24.839 --> 00:26:28.279
away from London if you just called him? What turned

329
00:26:28.319 --> 00:26:31.640
out that she'd already the neighbor across the road had

330
00:26:31.640 --> 00:26:36.079
already phoned their dad, because you'd be knocking on everyone's doors.

331
00:26:36.160 --> 00:26:41.880
I didn't know this at this point, and it was weird.

332
00:26:42.119 --> 00:26:46.480
It was just a strange situation. Prior to that, between

333
00:26:46.519 --> 00:26:54.920
the ambulance and the police phone calls, I I was

334
00:26:54.960 --> 00:27:00.319
saying to her, so where are you? I don't trying

335
00:27:00.319 --> 00:27:02.400
to sort of see if try and get her an ambulance,

336
00:27:02.519 --> 00:27:05.160
you know, sort of said to her, and she started

337
00:27:05.319 --> 00:27:09.440
swearing at me and being abusive to me verbally, wasn't

338
00:27:09.480 --> 00:27:12.359
abusive to anyone else, just me for some reason, and

339
00:27:12.519 --> 00:27:16.240
telling me to go whatever to my dad and whatever

340
00:27:16.279 --> 00:27:22.680
to my mum, and okay, you're not helping yourself here,

341
00:27:23.519 --> 00:27:29.519
you know. I was trying to help. And she said,

342
00:27:29.680 --> 00:27:31.759
I said where are you from? And said, oh, Stratford.

343
00:27:32.359 --> 00:27:34.039
I said, well, I know it Stratford. And you wouldn't

344
00:27:34.039 --> 00:27:37.759
get away with this behavior there. You know this, this

345
00:27:38.000 --> 00:27:40.960
you would not get away, You would not this is

346
00:27:41.039 --> 00:27:43.519
be a very dangerous situation for you if you did

347
00:27:43.519 --> 00:27:50.920
this in Stratford. And she's like, and I was losing

348
00:27:50.920 --> 00:27:54.640
a bit of sympathy and understand I suppose why the

349
00:27:54.680 --> 00:27:59.759
police an ambulance. They get so much hassle when they

350
00:27:59.799 --> 00:28:03.279
go just to people that were drunk, try and help

351
00:28:03.319 --> 00:28:06.240
someone that won't let you help them. So I do

352
00:28:06.400 --> 00:28:09.960
understand that. I just at the same time, I can't

353
00:28:10.000 --> 00:28:12.880
ignore someone that's lying on them on the floor, can't

354
00:28:12.920 --> 00:28:17.039
even hardly walk. She couldn't walk. That puts her in

355
00:28:17.119 --> 00:28:20.119
such a dangerous situation, which it would do if it

356
00:28:20.160 --> 00:28:21.839
was a man. It would make no difference to me

357
00:28:22.000 --> 00:28:27.240
man or woman. I can't really ignore it. I don't

358
00:28:27.279 --> 00:28:37.559
think or I can't. So it turned out so this

359
00:28:37.799 --> 00:28:46.440
was half four. I finally, after all the stuff, I

360
00:28:46.559 --> 00:28:55.640
finally got back up here. Just yeah, the police. I

361
00:28:55.640 --> 00:28:57.920
didn't realize i'd had it. Yeah, it was about ten

362
00:28:58.000 --> 00:29:01.480
past six. I was born twenty six. I was back upstairs,

363
00:29:02.720 --> 00:29:05.799
So I mean, the whole thing didn't start a half

364
00:29:05.839 --> 00:29:12.599
past four, but probably five five. I don't know. I

365
00:29:12.680 --> 00:29:15.079
lose track of the timing, so we're probably out there

366
00:29:15.079 --> 00:29:21.119
for about an hour. And I had two miscalls from

367
00:29:21.119 --> 00:29:25.200
the police that a text and the police just after

368
00:29:25.319 --> 00:29:28.799
I think it was. I can tell you, actually, what's

369
00:29:28.799 --> 00:29:30.480
this guy to do with Q and a Friday? I

370
00:29:30.519 --> 00:29:38.640
don't know this was at how weird? Doesn't give me

371
00:29:38.680 --> 00:29:43.440
a time for the Texas. I thought Texas had times

372
00:29:47.880 --> 00:29:52.319
yesterday eighteen oh three. This is the Clinical Assessment Service

373
00:29:52.319 --> 00:29:56.400
of East Anglia Ambulance Service. We have attempted to contenterate

374
00:29:56.480 --> 00:30:00.160
with fun. I've been able to be made a If

375
00:30:00.200 --> 00:30:02.960
there's been any worse than the patient's condition, please ring

376
00:30:03.039 --> 00:30:05.599
nine on nine. So I didn't have my phone switched on.

377
00:30:08.880 --> 00:30:13.359
It was on, but it wasn't on. If the volume

378
00:30:13.480 --> 00:30:15.559
wasn't on, then if it was on, I didn't hear it.

379
00:30:15.880 --> 00:30:18.440
But I think I might go on an editor mute

380
00:30:19.799 --> 00:30:21.359
just I forgot because I thought I got it on

381
00:30:21.400 --> 00:30:26.440
mute most of the time. Oh dear, I wouldn't normally

382
00:30:26.400 --> 00:30:30.079
I would. I wouldn't do that if I you know,

383
00:30:30.119 --> 00:30:31.960
I didn't purposely do that. But I got a couple

384
00:30:32.000 --> 00:30:36.799
of emails, one saying we are continuing to rage. Help.

385
00:30:37.000 --> 00:30:40.480
This was probably about half an hour later. On an

386
00:30:40.480 --> 00:30:43.079
hour later. Actually the clinician may call you back from

387
00:30:43.079 --> 00:30:46.880
a withheld number. Please keep your phone lying clear, I

388
00:30:47.000 --> 00:30:51.279
only call nine nine nine again if the patient's condition worsens. Alternatively,

389
00:30:51.759 --> 00:30:56.920
should you no longer require help, please reply cancel. So

390
00:30:57.599 --> 00:31:01.200
I just sent a cancel. I didn't I thought they

391
00:31:01.319 --> 00:31:07.200
just that was it. They weren't bothering. But it didn't

392
00:31:07.200 --> 00:31:10.400
tell me that the ambulance was still planning to come.

393
00:31:11.359 --> 00:31:15.160
But they just it wasn't a priority, which is fair enough.

394
00:31:15.200 --> 00:31:19.720
They've got their criteria, and when I called them, I

395
00:31:19.720 --> 00:31:24.359
didn't know if it's a priority or not. Unfortunately, I've

396
00:31:24.359 --> 00:31:26.960
had to call the ambulance and the police so many

397
00:31:26.960 --> 00:31:34.559
times since I've lived there, and I've been in this

398
00:31:34.680 --> 00:31:40.680
situation before with my neighbor downstairs, the one directly below me,

399
00:31:42.519 --> 00:31:48.240
and she Trina An. I say it was because she

400
00:31:48.359 --> 00:31:51.920
passed away, but she was only young. She's only in

401
00:31:52.000 --> 00:31:55.640
a little bit older than me, about a year older

402
00:31:55.640 --> 00:32:00.519
than me or something. And this was too fat. Yeah,

403
00:32:00.559 --> 00:32:05.119
twenty nineteen or twenty twenty, right at the beginning of

404
00:32:05.119 --> 00:32:10.480
the year. She basically her mom knocked on the door

405
00:32:10.519 --> 00:32:14.400
and she wasn't answering, and I heard her mum banging

406
00:32:14.440 --> 00:32:17.759
on the windows, like the bedroom windows out of the back.

407
00:32:19.119 --> 00:32:22.400
So I went downstairs because I saw this woman and

408
00:32:22.440 --> 00:32:24.799
I thought, what was going on there? I just checked

409
00:32:24.799 --> 00:32:26.960
that she was all right because it seemed like a

410
00:32:26.960 --> 00:32:29.880
weird thing to be doing. Didn't look like a thief.

411
00:32:29.880 --> 00:32:31.400
But I though, I just go and check it out.

412
00:32:32.759 --> 00:32:34.680
And I said, all right. She said, yeah, I'm trying

413
00:32:34.680 --> 00:32:37.880
to get hold of my daughter. She's in there, but

414
00:32:37.960 --> 00:32:41.079
she's not. She should be in it because she arranged

415
00:32:41.079 --> 00:32:43.279
to pick her up. I think she had a doctor's

416
00:32:43.319 --> 00:32:48.400
appointment or something. And I said, oh, okay, and then

417
00:32:48.559 --> 00:32:52.079
she she said, well, no, I can hear her. She's

418
00:32:52.119 --> 00:32:55.799
in there, but I can't see where she is. She's

419
00:32:55.839 --> 00:32:59.279
not answering the door. Well, then she goes and she

420
00:32:59.279 --> 00:33:04.359
starts talking letterbox to her and it turns out she

421
00:33:04.359 --> 00:33:06.400
owed her money and she just didn't want to pay it. No,

422
00:33:06.680 --> 00:33:11.519
that's not true. She shed collapsed. She was on the floor, collapsed,

423
00:33:12.240 --> 00:33:16.039
and she'd been like that for days apparently. So she

424
00:33:16.119 --> 00:33:18.200
was able to talk to her mum, but wasn't able

425
00:33:18.200 --> 00:33:25.559
to move right, there's no way of getting into the flat.

426
00:33:26.799 --> 00:33:30.519
I couldn't get into the flat. Well, I couldn't get

427
00:33:30.519 --> 00:33:34.079
into the flat. Luckily, I know some people that do

428
00:33:34.200 --> 00:33:37.359
know how to do stuff like that not luckily for

429
00:33:37.400 --> 00:33:40.759
the neighbors to get robbed. But yeah, I know people

430
00:33:40.759 --> 00:33:43.720
that know how to get into flats very quickly. So

431
00:33:45.960 --> 00:33:51.839
I got my my local, my local breaking service. Well

432
00:33:52.440 --> 00:33:54.359
it's really weird. I know, if I ever, if I

433
00:33:54.400 --> 00:33:58.559
ever locked myself out up properly and I can't get

434
00:33:57.880 --> 00:34:02.880
a locksmith or whatever, a ladder, that's all the need.

435
00:34:03.039 --> 00:34:05.839
A ladder. If all the windows are locked, I know

436
00:34:05.960 --> 00:34:09.159
someone can get through the windows in a like thirty seconds.

437
00:34:10.400 --> 00:34:12.719
It's just light. And they won't have to be quiet either,

438
00:34:12.840 --> 00:34:15.440
so probably even quite even quicker because I'll be with

439
00:34:15.480 --> 00:34:17.400
them if they had to do it quietly. They put

440
00:34:17.400 --> 00:34:24.280
it's like, yeah, it's strange. It's just a weird, weird situation.

441
00:34:25.079 --> 00:34:28.199
But anyway, I called it. I said, you need to

442
00:34:28.199 --> 00:34:30.000
call an ambulance, and she said, no, my daughter would

443
00:34:30.000 --> 00:34:33.599
be in a minute. She'll know what to do because

444
00:34:33.639 --> 00:34:37.039
her other door was coming. She'd called her, and I said,

445
00:34:38.320 --> 00:34:41.039
I got angry, but it was like, you need to

446
00:34:41.079 --> 00:34:44.679
call an ambulance. She's lying on the floor and she

447
00:34:44.719 --> 00:34:48.079
can't move, and that is not a good sign. I mean,

448
00:34:48.760 --> 00:34:54.360
I'm no doctor, but I can I can conclude. I

449
00:34:54.400 --> 00:34:57.760
can conclude that's not a good sign. And I was correct,

450
00:34:58.239 --> 00:35:01.400
and I wish I hadn't been correct. So I called

451
00:35:01.400 --> 00:35:04.920
an ambulance and the ambulance said, oh, forty five minutes,

452
00:35:06.800 --> 00:35:12.679
and I said what he said, Yeah, forty five minutes.

453
00:35:13.239 --> 00:35:15.159
That's it. I said, she's lying on the floor, she

454
00:35:15.199 --> 00:35:21.920
can't move. No, be forty five minutes. Now. The ambulances

455
00:35:21.920 --> 00:35:24.559
are brilliant. And I'm not saying anything about ambulances or

456
00:35:24.599 --> 00:35:27.039
at police or anything. They've always been, you know, pretty

457
00:35:27.079 --> 00:35:32.280
much been great and I'm grateful. You know, ambulance services

458
00:35:32.280 --> 00:35:36.519
saved my friend's life multiple times, and so yeah, that's

459
00:35:36.559 --> 00:35:43.800
not But I was just surprised at this. So I went,

460
00:35:44.079 --> 00:35:46.079
this is I say, this is a few years back,

461
00:35:50.039 --> 00:35:52.960
and it's never that. It's not. It's not their fault anyways.

462
00:35:53.480 --> 00:35:56.840
They can't be everywhere all at once. Even Superman can't

463
00:35:56.840 --> 00:36:00.679
be everywhere, can they can he? You know, it's like

464
00:36:00.960 --> 00:36:03.639
remember Superman and movie, the first one. I do want

465
00:36:03.639 --> 00:36:08.679
to spoil it. I mean, it's fifty years ago, and

466
00:36:08.679 --> 00:36:10.880
since it came out, is it too soon to tell

467
00:36:10.880 --> 00:36:17.960
you what happened? But I think was it Superman one?

468
00:36:18.159 --> 00:36:20.719
Was this there was I don't know if it was

469
00:36:20.760 --> 00:36:25.280
a superhero movie where there was two missiles being sent

470
00:36:25.519 --> 00:36:30.039
at the same time. Yeah, it was two. It was Superman.

471
00:36:30.800 --> 00:36:33.000
So again, if you haven't seen it, you don't want

472
00:36:33.000 --> 00:36:38.039
to spoil it. The movie that was released in nineteen

473
00:36:38.159 --> 00:36:42.280
seventy five or was it nineteen seventy seven, but it's

474
00:36:42.320 --> 00:36:46.800
you know, it's nearly fifty years ago, and Lex Lufa

475
00:36:47.360 --> 00:36:54.000
launched two nuclear missiles or two missiles like really badness,

476
00:36:54.920 --> 00:36:58.239
so Superman couldn't and there were different areas. Superman couldn't

477
00:36:58.239 --> 00:37:00.960
get to both of them, so he had to choose one.

478
00:37:02.559 --> 00:37:05.440
He got to it and got rid of it, and

479
00:37:05.480 --> 00:37:07.599
he nearly got to the second one, I do believe,

480
00:37:07.639 --> 00:37:13.039
but he didn't get there in time. And for some reason,

481
00:37:14.840 --> 00:37:16.639
I mean maybe it was just a fit the plot

482
00:37:16.679 --> 00:37:22.639
of the movie. But Lewis Lane or Lois Lois Lane,

483
00:37:23.440 --> 00:37:26.639
who was the love of his life? But was she?

484
00:37:26.760 --> 00:37:31.280
What about Lana Lane? The movie's never really dealt with

485
00:37:31.360 --> 00:37:37.480
Lana Lane. The more recent TV show did, but it

486
00:37:37.519 --> 00:37:42.440
was always like Clark Kent Loves l L Is it

487
00:37:42.519 --> 00:37:45.599
Lewis Lane or is it Lowis Lane? Or is it

488
00:37:45.679 --> 00:37:46.440
Lana Lane?

489
00:37:48.119 --> 00:37:48.440
L L?

490
00:37:50.199 --> 00:37:52.760
Who do you love Clark? I love it l l

491
00:37:55.239 --> 00:37:58.400
So it's you know, it was always that really, I

492
00:37:58.400 --> 00:38:01.960
mean in the movies it was was Lewis Lane. But yeah,

493
00:38:02.000 --> 00:38:06.920
the thing for you know, Lana Lang as well, and

494
00:38:08.920 --> 00:38:12.280
for some reason Lewis Lane love with I can't I

495
00:38:12.360 --> 00:38:21.199
can't speak like that. Olas Lane. The the other missile

496
00:38:21.239 --> 00:38:25.639
pretty much landed on her head so caused this big,

497
00:38:27.039 --> 00:38:31.400
you know, catastrophic thing or whatever in the desert. She

498
00:38:31.440 --> 00:38:34.760
happened to be there. I think he chose the other

499
00:38:34.760 --> 00:38:37.400
one was going towards the city opposed to the one

500
00:38:37.440 --> 00:38:43.360
that was going towards the desert. And he finds her

501
00:38:43.400 --> 00:38:49.400
and he's like, oh, it's Lowis Lane and she's not survived,

502
00:38:49.599 --> 00:38:56.800
and it's very sad and he cries, and he then

503
00:38:57.079 --> 00:39:00.880
flies around the world lots of times and turns back

504
00:39:00.960 --> 00:39:09.679
time and it's very good. Why am I talking about Superman? Oh? Yeah,

505
00:39:10.039 --> 00:39:14.599
you can't. The ambulance they can't be everywhere. I mean,

506
00:39:14.599 --> 00:39:16.159
there's a lot more of them of them than there

507
00:39:16.199 --> 00:39:21.719
is a Superman. But at the same time, yeah, I'm

508
00:39:21.800 --> 00:39:24.039
so grateful that we've got an ambulance service, that we've

509
00:39:24.039 --> 00:39:28.039
got in an NHS here, that we've got police service, fire service,

510
00:39:28.960 --> 00:39:35.159
and you know, I am. I'm grateful. We've got people

511
00:39:35.239 --> 00:39:41.239
to come and collect the rubbish, people that deliver the mail. Yeah,

512
00:39:41.360 --> 00:39:44.480
I am grateful for that. I don't always feel the gratitude,

513
00:39:44.519 --> 00:39:53.480
but you know, generally i'm quite I am grateful. So, yeah,

514
00:39:53.599 --> 00:39:58.000
my neighbor downstairs. I phone the police. No, I phoned

515
00:39:58.079 --> 00:40:03.719
the fires this next and I said, hello, I don't know it.

516
00:40:03.719 --> 00:40:08.599
I don't know if you can help me. My neighbors

517
00:40:08.880 --> 00:40:13.760
on the floor downstairs. She's collapsed. She can't move, but

518
00:40:13.920 --> 00:40:16.039
she's locked out. I didn't know there's anyway you can

519
00:40:17.000 --> 00:40:20.880
get into the place, you know, she's the front door

520
00:40:21.000 --> 00:40:24.239
was locked solid and we can't get in, and the

521
00:40:24.239 --> 00:40:28.639
ambulance would be here in about forty five minutes. And

522
00:40:28.800 --> 00:40:30.440
they said, what do you expect us to do it?

523
00:40:32.440 --> 00:40:39.559
And I'm like okay. And it was one of those

524
00:40:39.679 --> 00:40:41.880
like yeah, I know I need a locksmith, obviously, but

525
00:40:42.960 --> 00:40:45.239
I just thought maybe in a situation like that, they

526
00:40:45.280 --> 00:40:51.079
could come and remove the door in an emergency. It

527
00:40:51.119 --> 00:40:54.960
seemed like an emergency. It was an emergency. In fact,

528
00:40:55.800 --> 00:40:59.639
it was much more serious than realized. I just assumed

529
00:40:59.679 --> 00:41:02.920
it was, but no one else did for some reason.

530
00:41:04.880 --> 00:41:09.800
And then I called up the police, and again they said,

531
00:41:10.119 --> 00:41:12.000
what do you want us to do about it? What

532
00:41:12.119 --> 00:41:13.880
do you what do you expect us to do about it?

533
00:41:14.960 --> 00:41:16.960
I mean literally those words, which I was a little

534
00:41:17.000 --> 00:41:22.039
bit surprised about. I said, well, she's locked. We can't

535
00:41:22.039 --> 00:41:24.039
get in there. The ambulance said they're going to be

536
00:41:24.079 --> 00:41:28.400
forty five minutes, and they said, well what I said?

537
00:41:29.440 --> 00:41:31.280
I said, yeah, but I think she said a heart attack,

538
00:41:35.079 --> 00:41:40.199
and they said, oh, okay. Five minutes later the ambulance

539
00:41:40.280 --> 00:41:45.519
was here. And in that five minutes, I got my friend.

540
00:41:46.719 --> 00:41:48.880
I asked my friend to get into the flat, and

541
00:41:48.920 --> 00:41:56.039
he did. We didn't go in. He took he removed

542
00:41:56.079 --> 00:41:59.199
the window from the bathroom or the kitchen, I think

543
00:41:59.199 --> 00:42:02.599
it was the bathroom. When he removed that in seconds,

544
00:42:03.679 --> 00:42:08.559
and just as he had removed that, her sister turned up,

545
00:42:09.079 --> 00:42:16.239
who was actually able to fit through the window. And

546
00:42:16.639 --> 00:42:19.000
just as she was pretty much climbing through the window,

547
00:42:19.320 --> 00:42:24.679
the ambulance turned up. So she came in. She opened

548
00:42:24.679 --> 00:42:27.920
the door from the inside, the ambulance went in there.

549
00:42:28.119 --> 00:42:32.480
We're there for about half an hour. Took her into

550
00:42:32.519 --> 00:42:35.599
the ambulance. The ambulance put you the paradis, rather took

551
00:42:35.639 --> 00:42:39.960
her into the ambulance, and they were working on her

552
00:42:40.000 --> 00:42:42.400
in the ambulance for about an hour, maybe an hour

553
00:42:42.400 --> 00:42:46.480
and a half, and then it her that took her

554
00:42:46.519 --> 00:42:49.840
to the hospital and she died two days later. Now

555
00:42:49.840 --> 00:42:52.199
I'm not saying this is a sad story, although it

556
00:42:52.559 --> 00:42:55.239
is a sad story. The fact is she had had

557
00:42:55.239 --> 00:42:59.199
a heart attack, and she had another one in the ambulance.

558
00:43:00.559 --> 00:43:05.119
So there was part of me feeling guilty, like, am

559
00:43:05.159 --> 00:43:08.559
I lying saying that She said, ah, heart attack, But

560
00:43:08.559 --> 00:43:10.280
I didn't say she had. I said I think she's

561
00:43:10.280 --> 00:43:14.960
had when I actually did believe that, and I was right.

562
00:43:16.440 --> 00:43:19.239
I just couldn't figure any other reason why she would

563
00:43:19.280 --> 00:43:21.119
be lying on the floor for a couple of days

564
00:43:21.400 --> 00:43:27.119
unable to move unless there was something really seriously had

565
00:43:27.159 --> 00:43:32.960
happened internally outside of like a fall or something like that.

566
00:43:33.039 --> 00:43:37.719
But she apparently she wasn't injured, wasn't physically like whatever,

567
00:43:37.880 --> 00:43:41.519
She hadn't broken a hip or anything, according to her mum.

568
00:43:41.760 --> 00:43:48.519
She just couldn't move. So I, yeah, I don't even

569
00:43:48.519 --> 00:43:50.280
know why I'm talking about this. I talked about it

570
00:43:50.280 --> 00:43:52.960
when it happened, But this just gives you an idea

571
00:43:53.000 --> 00:43:57.840
the kind of stuff that happens around here. And eventually,

572
00:43:57.920 --> 00:44:02.039
yesterday this lady, she got into her a dad turned up.

573
00:44:03.519 --> 00:44:09.480
He said, right, he couldn't she wouldn't get up. He

574
00:44:09.519 --> 00:44:11.840
couldn't pick her up on his own. He called his

575
00:44:11.920 --> 00:44:18.159
wife over or his girlfriend over, and he shouted, Ory Doris,

576
00:44:18.320 --> 00:44:21.400
I don't know what her name was. Can you come here, please?

577
00:44:21.519 --> 00:44:23.440
Can you bring the camera as well so we can

578
00:44:25.079 --> 00:44:28.239
take another picture for the photo album, for the family

579
00:44:28.280 --> 00:44:31.920
photo album. And then he was going on and it's

580
00:44:32.000 --> 00:44:34.880
like he's had years of this since she was a kid.

581
00:44:35.920 --> 00:44:39.719
And he looked drained. He looked so much. I don't know.

582
00:44:40.480 --> 00:44:42.960
I got no idea what the background is behind the

583
00:44:43.000 --> 00:44:47.280
whole thing. But there was no winners, that's for sure.

584
00:44:48.639 --> 00:44:52.239
And it's weird because I felt relief as he drove off,

585
00:44:54.440 --> 00:44:57.639
but at the same time, I knew that the journey

586
00:44:57.719 --> 00:45:02.920
was nowhere near ending for him or for her, and

587
00:45:03.800 --> 00:45:06.000
you know, it was over for me. I'd kind of

588
00:45:08.239 --> 00:45:11.800
I had a degree of relief. I still wasn't quite there,

589
00:45:11.840 --> 00:45:15.320
but I was. It completely shattered me dealing with all

590
00:45:15.320 --> 00:45:20.519
the different people. So I kind of felt for him,

591
00:45:20.559 --> 00:45:24.360
but I felt for her as well, because you know,

592
00:45:26.639 --> 00:45:31.280
it's this addiction, isn't it. It's It's a horrible, horrible thing.

593
00:45:31.360 --> 00:45:33.360
And I've had to deal with it with lots of

594
00:45:33.360 --> 00:45:40.159
different people for for a long time actually, over the years,

595
00:45:41.000 --> 00:45:45.440
for good old twenty years. Really, I've dealt with my

596
00:45:45.559 --> 00:45:48.400
own issues and other people's issues. I had a little

597
00:45:48.400 --> 00:45:54.960
bit of fling with alcohol when I was younger, but yeah,

598
00:45:55.159 --> 00:45:59.360
I was very strange. And then my other name, my

599
00:45:59.400 --> 00:46:01.719
other neighbor, was it freaked out about some stuff and

600
00:46:01.760 --> 00:46:08.079
I just ended up ten to nine I think after

601
00:46:08.159 --> 00:46:12.039
taking him out, or maybe five to nine. I got

602
00:46:12.039 --> 00:46:18.400
home after sort of doing some other stuff, and that

603
00:46:18.559 --> 00:46:25.679
by the time I'd cooked some teacakes because I was hungry.

604
00:46:26.320 --> 00:46:30.719
The Big Brother Live episode was seven minutes in, so

605
00:46:30.800 --> 00:46:34.519
I couldn't watch yesterday's episode to see. I didn't even

606
00:46:34.519 --> 00:46:40.119
know who was evicted until, like I watched the sturb

607
00:46:40.199 --> 00:46:43.519
the live show. It just ruined it, you know, ruined

608
00:46:43.559 --> 00:46:46.840
the whole. I know, shouldn't all be about a TV show,

609
00:46:46.920 --> 00:46:47.679
but for me.

610
00:46:49.719 --> 00:46:58.119
This this is what I enjoy.

611
00:46:58.360 --> 00:47:01.559
So that's why I'm late doing a Q Friday. And

612
00:47:01.639 --> 00:47:03.480
it took me what an hour to tell you that,

613
00:47:06.800 --> 00:47:10.400
Oh my goodness, it really did take nearly fifty minutes

614
00:47:10.440 --> 00:47:13.119
to tell you that I'm sorry. I'm going to do

615
00:47:13.159 --> 00:47:20.400
a Q and A Friday now, BlimE me. Wow, this

616
00:47:20.480 --> 00:47:23.079
is what this is what happens. This is how things

617
00:47:23.119 --> 00:47:26.880
work here. So I sometimes go on a bit. I've

618
00:47:26.880 --> 00:47:30.400
also got YouTube channel, by the way, hat Jason Newland,

619
00:47:31.320 --> 00:47:39.199
and it's it's a weird thing because it's just weird

620
00:47:39.239 --> 00:47:44.239
because I've been uploading the latest recordings all six and yeah,

621
00:47:44.400 --> 00:47:47.239
I don't think it's really working so well. But hey,

622
00:47:48.039 --> 00:47:51.639
oh well, so questions. Do I have any questions? Well,

623
00:47:51.760 --> 00:48:03.800
yes I do. I put a like a little form

624
00:48:04.079 --> 00:48:06.440
on my website that you can fill in if you've

625
00:48:06.440 --> 00:48:10.280
got questions for Q and A Friday. And I've had

626
00:48:10.280 --> 00:48:13.079
a few people fill it in this week, so I'm

627
00:48:13.159 --> 00:48:17.760
just check in, did did did lid did lid so?

628
00:48:18.159 --> 00:48:22.760
QN A fri Day? Where is it? I saved him

629
00:48:22.760 --> 00:48:27.360
in a folder one, two, three, four, five, six questions.

630
00:48:29.400 --> 00:48:32.079
This might be the longest Q and a Friday in

631
00:48:32.119 --> 00:48:36.960
the history. By the way, I'm going to go buy order.

632
00:48:37.800 --> 00:48:41.679
If I miss any out, I will answer them next week. Okay,

633
00:48:42.119 --> 00:48:44.559
So I don't want this to be like three hours long.

634
00:48:45.719 --> 00:48:49.840
I've got things to do, so The first question is

635
00:48:49.920 --> 00:48:53.760
from Ann, if you don't mind me asking. I was

636
00:48:53.800 --> 00:49:04.320
wondering how old Andre was when he passed, and yeah, yeah,

637
00:49:04.440 --> 00:49:11.480
he was about six and a half. The reason what

638
00:49:11.639 --> 00:49:16.159
happened basically had spying injury. A little kid trod on

639
00:49:16.239 --> 00:49:20.719
him a year earlier, like stamped, probably stomped on him.

640
00:49:21.119 --> 00:49:24.719
And you know it wasn't anyone's fault. Is it was

641
00:49:24.760 --> 00:49:26.440
a little kid. It wasn't like a kid that knew

642
00:49:26.440 --> 00:49:30.480
what he was doing. Is like a little toddler really well,

643
00:49:30.719 --> 00:49:33.880
like three years old, four years old, and he just

644
00:49:34.000 --> 00:49:39.480
stomped on him. And at the time, Vinnie or Vinnie

645
00:49:39.519 --> 00:49:43.679
Andre seemed like he was just angry. I picked him

646
00:49:43.760 --> 00:49:45.400
up and he clung clung to me, but at the

647
00:49:45.400 --> 00:49:47.760
same time he wanted to have a fight with his kid.

648
00:49:49.440 --> 00:49:52.719
I thought nothing of it, really, I thought I didn't

649
00:49:52.800 --> 00:49:56.199
like it. But the mum was so but apologetic and

650
00:49:57.239 --> 00:50:00.400
basically she called me over, can you can my little

651
00:50:00.440 --> 00:50:02.880
boy have a little look sort of say loo to

652
00:50:02.920 --> 00:50:06.800
your ferret. And I've spoken to her numerous times. He's

653
00:50:06.800 --> 00:50:10.679
a very friendly person. Still speak to her husband. Don't

654
00:50:10.719 --> 00:50:13.519
see her anymore, but I see her husband regularly walking

655
00:50:13.519 --> 00:50:18.119
the dogs he's also really friendly. But the kids, we

656
00:50:18.119 --> 00:50:21.440
were just talking and the kid it happened so quick.

657
00:50:21.800 --> 00:50:23.920
I saw it in a peripheral and just see his

658
00:50:24.000 --> 00:50:29.840
leg raised and on Andre's scream. Anyway, I thought nothing

659
00:50:29.880 --> 00:50:32.480
of it. Really. She was like apologetic, like it's not

660
00:50:32.519 --> 00:50:34.960
your fault. We didn't know this was going to happen.

661
00:50:36.119 --> 00:50:42.760
And the next day Vinnie was struggling to walk. Vin

662
00:50:42.880 --> 00:50:48.039
could say Vinny Andre was struggling to walk, and he

663
00:50:48.239 --> 00:50:51.599
was basically he couldn't walk. It was limping really badly.

664
00:50:52.880 --> 00:50:58.679
And I left it a day because I thought, ah,

665
00:50:59.199 --> 00:51:01.559
see how I am. I didn't even connect the two.

666
00:51:02.760 --> 00:51:05.440
That's how slow I am. Sometimes didn't even connect it.

667
00:51:06.800 --> 00:51:10.599
And until I took him to the vets, and the

668
00:51:10.679 --> 00:51:13.199
vets said they did an X ray on his back.

669
00:51:14.239 --> 00:51:20.000
They said he's got spinal injury, like he's been trod on.

670
00:51:20.159 --> 00:51:24.079
It was like, all okay, I said, yeah, a kid

671
00:51:24.079 --> 00:51:28.159
did stomp on him, trod on him on purpose. I said, okay,

672
00:51:28.239 --> 00:51:32.519
that'll do it. And I said what now. Then he said, well,

673
00:51:34.280 --> 00:51:40.800
in these cases, quite often, especially with ferrets, I mean,

674
00:51:40.800 --> 00:51:43.000
they're prone to have this kind of thing because they're

675
00:51:43.039 --> 00:51:47.480
so bendy. If you take that flexibility away from them.

676
00:51:48.000 --> 00:51:54.079
It kind of ruins their life really because they're so

677
00:51:54.280 --> 00:51:59.360
bendy and he once you take that away, it's you know,

678
00:51:59.480 --> 00:52:03.079
quality not great. And the weird thing about it, he

679
00:52:04.280 --> 00:52:06.360
nearly parts. Unless it's going to say, I'm just talking

680
00:52:06.360 --> 00:52:11.440
about death on this one, but he nearly died with

681
00:52:11.559 --> 00:52:14.840
the anesthetic that he yet to have to have the

682
00:52:15.360 --> 00:52:18.400
the X ray because he wou he wouldn't stand still

683
00:52:18.480 --> 00:52:21.920
or sit still for a second. And I wasn't allowed

684
00:52:21.920 --> 00:52:24.760
to hold him because this is during the old mask

685
00:52:25.159 --> 00:52:31.239
covering it period, if you remember that. So I couldn't

686
00:52:31.239 --> 00:52:34.760
be in the vets, couldn't even be inside the building.

687
00:52:37.039 --> 00:52:39.480
I had to stand in the car park. I had

688
00:52:39.480 --> 00:52:43.239
to hand over the bag with him in it to

689
00:52:43.280 --> 00:52:46.239
the receptionist or to the vet who had a mask on.

690
00:52:46.320 --> 00:52:48.960
I had a mask on. I would stand outside. He

691
00:52:49.000 --> 00:52:51.119
put his long arm. I couldn't believe that long as

692
00:52:51.159 --> 00:52:54.400
im once it was about like eighteen foot long, and

693
00:52:54.440 --> 00:52:57.960
he picked it up and he took the bag in

694
00:52:58.079 --> 00:53:00.519
and I had to wait for him to I think

695
00:53:00.519 --> 00:53:03.159
he phoned me to let me know how he was

696
00:53:03.159 --> 00:53:07.280
getting on. And I had to pick him up the

697
00:53:07.400 --> 00:53:12.800
next day because he was really groggy with the whole anesthetic,

698
00:53:13.559 --> 00:53:17.280
and they didn't know what to do because he wasn't

699
00:53:17.480 --> 00:53:20.679
He was like, wasn't coming back, wasn't to be in

700
00:53:21.559 --> 00:53:25.360
fully aware. Well, in the end I came and got him,

701
00:53:25.599 --> 00:53:28.360
took him home, and it took about a day or so,

702
00:53:29.559 --> 00:53:32.440
two days I think, before he was normal again. He's

703
00:53:32.480 --> 00:53:34.480
just like just lying there, just looking at me. It

704
00:53:34.519 --> 00:53:42.199
was weird, like he was drunk or something. There wasn't

705
00:53:42.199 --> 00:53:45.559
really much they could do, but he recovered. I got

706
00:53:45.599 --> 00:53:48.239
videos of him limping around, and then a video of him.

707
00:53:49.039 --> 00:53:50.840
He still wanted to go for a walk, still wanted

708
00:53:50.920 --> 00:53:55.119
to do everything as before, And eventually he got it back.

709
00:53:55.320 --> 00:53:58.480
His leg was fine or his spine was fine, and

710
00:53:58.519 --> 00:54:03.679
his mobility was perfect, so I thought. And then a

711
00:54:03.760 --> 00:54:09.440
year later, for no reason other than just the injury,

712
00:54:10.119 --> 00:54:15.960
I guess that it got worse and he was limping again,

713
00:54:16.079 --> 00:54:22.239
and there was more war going on this time, and

714
00:54:22.280 --> 00:54:25.719
we were still in the masks the mask episode, but

715
00:54:25.800 --> 00:54:31.079
this time I was allowed inside the veterinary reception, but

716
00:54:31.320 --> 00:54:33.840
wasn't allowed to be in No I was. I was

717
00:54:33.880 --> 00:54:37.000
allowed to go in there with him, but were still

718
00:54:37.119 --> 00:54:39.199
you know, everyone had still to wear a mask and stuff.

719
00:54:39.239 --> 00:54:43.880
So this was like two thousand and one, twenty twenty one,

720
00:54:43.920 --> 00:54:50.039
I think, and he just said they had another X ray.

721
00:54:50.119 --> 00:54:55.400
He said that the spine's gone, like there was just warm.

722
00:54:55.519 --> 00:54:59.719
It was so damaged from before that it didn't heal

723
00:54:59.760 --> 00:55:03.079
proper plea, but it healed enough for him to because

724
00:55:03.119 --> 00:55:06.719
they're very determined old Ferrits are. They don't care. They

725
00:55:06.760 --> 00:55:09.320
won't let anything get in their way. But he wasn't

726
00:55:09.320 --> 00:55:12.280
eating and that's a sign that he was in pain.

727
00:55:12.400 --> 00:55:24.239
And there was no watch. Really, Yeah, so that was it.

728
00:55:24.320 --> 00:55:26.840
That's so, yeah, six and a half years ago where

729
00:55:26.840 --> 00:55:31.880
it was the end, It was like June twoy twenty

730
00:55:31.920 --> 00:55:34.280
one wasn't six and a half years ago, but I

731
00:55:34.320 --> 00:55:35.840
think it was about six and a half years when

732
00:55:35.840 --> 00:55:42.480
I got in went when he passed away. Yeah, So

733
00:55:42.519 --> 00:55:44.199
I would try and lighten it up if I can.

734
00:55:47.679 --> 00:55:51.360
This is from Maria ar Hi Jason. What's the longest

735
00:55:51.360 --> 00:55:53.960
time you ever lived in one place? Are there any

736
00:55:54.000 --> 00:55:59.559
fond childhood memories that you can recall? Thank you? Oh,

737
00:56:00.280 --> 00:56:03.280
can't think of any childhood memories. So the longest time

738
00:56:03.320 --> 00:56:08.760
I ever lived in one place is here this place.

739
00:56:09.440 --> 00:56:13.880
Never lived anywhere for ten years before the second longest

740
00:56:13.880 --> 00:56:18.039
place was I guess like the family home would call

741
00:56:18.079 --> 00:56:23.480
it that I lived for between the ages of nine

742
00:56:23.679 --> 00:56:31.320
and fifteen, So what's that tenth nine and fifteen, six,

743
00:56:31.519 --> 00:56:36.760
it's not that long as it really six years. Wow,

744
00:56:37.360 --> 00:56:40.639
it seemed like forever, but then I was young. So yeah,

745
00:56:41.000 --> 00:56:47.960
the second longest place was there was six years, and

746
00:56:48.159 --> 00:56:50.679
I did live at a couple of places for about

747
00:56:50.760 --> 00:56:55.639
four years each. When I first moved to Stratford from

748
00:56:55.760 --> 00:57:02.159
ninety one to ninety four, well three and a half years,

749
00:57:02.559 --> 00:57:04.280
so I spent three and a half years living in

750
00:57:04.320 --> 00:57:08.119
that room and there was another room in Stratford where

751
00:57:08.239 --> 00:57:17.800
I moved in. Was it probably about June to June

752
00:57:17.960 --> 00:57:27.119
nineteen ninety seven. I moved out the summer two thousand

753
00:57:27.119 --> 00:57:31.639
and one, so yeah, that's four I was there for

754
00:57:31.639 --> 00:57:38.760
about four years, evicted from there. And when I was

755
00:57:38.760 --> 00:57:41.440
at university, I stayed in a place in a room

756
00:57:43.719 --> 00:57:56.519
from November nineteen ninety no, two thousand and seven, and

757
00:57:56.559 --> 00:58:04.519
I moved out. I spelled like March two thousand and eleven,

758
00:58:05.920 --> 00:58:10.719
two thousand and eleven. Yeah, so what's that two thousand

759
00:58:10.760 --> 00:58:17.679
and seven, November two thousand and eight, two thousand and nine,

760
00:58:17.760 --> 00:58:31.320
twenty ten, So again that three years and probably three months. Yeah,

761
00:58:32.079 --> 00:58:37.079
I mean I lived at the YMSE the YMCA from

762
00:58:37.199 --> 00:58:47.599
September two thousand and one until about March two thousand

763
00:58:47.639 --> 00:58:51.079
and four. But I lived in three different studio apartments.

764
00:58:51.119 --> 00:58:55.119
There were studio flats, so I didn't stay in the

765
00:58:55.159 --> 00:58:58.000
same place, but I moved around because I just started

766
00:58:58.039 --> 00:59:02.320
trying to find someway quiet. But you know, technically in

767
00:59:02.360 --> 00:59:05.239
the same well not technically, I was literally in the

768
00:59:05.280 --> 00:59:10.119
same building. It's a very big building. From September two

769
00:59:10.119 --> 00:59:13.440
thousand and one, two thousand and two, two thousand and three.

770
00:59:17.320 --> 00:59:21.679
That's two years, and for two and a half years

771
00:59:21.679 --> 00:59:25.440
I suppose I was living there. This seemed a lot

772
00:59:25.519 --> 00:59:40.760
longer at the time. No, yes, no, blind me see.

773
00:59:40.800 --> 00:59:42.679
It was weird because if I'd have stayed there, i'd

774
00:59:42.719 --> 00:59:45.599
have got I would have been shortlisted to get a

775
00:59:45.639 --> 00:59:51.800
council flat. That's not why I moved in there. I

776
00:59:51.840 --> 00:59:53.440
moved in there because that's the only place I could

777
00:59:53.440 --> 00:59:58.039
find anywhere to live when I moved from London, because

778
00:59:58.039 --> 00:59:59.679
I had a job to start and I could not

779
00:59:59.719 --> 01:00:07.320
find anywhere get a room or anything. And they basically

780
01:00:07.719 --> 01:00:10.760
I phoned them up I had a friend say try

781
01:00:10.800 --> 01:00:13.880
to YMCA, so I did, and they said, yeah, we've

782
01:00:13.880 --> 01:00:16.000
got a place for you if you want to come

783
01:00:16.079 --> 01:00:20.559
never look tomorrow or Monday or whenever. Yeah, this is

784
01:00:20.559 --> 01:00:23.920
on I think this is on a Saturday. And I said, yeah,

785
01:00:23.960 --> 01:00:25.400
if you want to come Monday and have a look.

786
01:00:26.159 --> 01:00:34.199
Really yeah, because at the time I was staying in Yeah,

787
01:00:34.320 --> 01:00:37.000
I was staying in a bed and breakfast because I

788
01:00:37.079 --> 01:00:43.000
just started the job September I think it was the ninth.

789
01:00:44.840 --> 01:00:47.880
I think ninth September ninth, two thousand and one. It

790
01:00:47.960 --> 01:00:54.599
was a Monday, I think, and I I stayed in

791
01:00:54.639 --> 01:01:00.440
the bed and breakfast. I moved in on a Sunday,

792
01:01:01.159 --> 01:01:04.400
stayed in the bed and breakfast. I was still I

793
01:01:04.440 --> 01:01:08.920
was DJing in London, so s I had my weekend

794
01:01:09.639 --> 01:01:13.719
hobby as a DJ. I didn't want to give that up,

795
01:01:13.760 --> 01:01:18.280
but I had to. But luckily I had three weeks

796
01:01:18.280 --> 01:01:21.639
where I could still do it, and then I had

797
01:01:21.679 --> 01:01:24.159
to give it up because I was moving away. But

798
01:01:24.239 --> 01:01:27.239
at this point what I was doing is going to London,

799
01:01:28.280 --> 01:01:32.480
staying over in London, and then coming back Sunday evening.

800
01:01:34.480 --> 01:01:37.320
So I think I did two weeks in the bed

801
01:01:37.320 --> 01:01:42.480
and breakfast, but it was expensive. You know, I was

802
01:01:42.639 --> 01:01:46.920
not I didn't have I hadn't hurt that I will

803
01:01:47.079 --> 01:01:51.400
learn to speak one day. I hadn't earned any money

804
01:01:51.920 --> 01:01:58.360
yet because I've only done two weeks of work, so

805
01:01:58.920 --> 01:02:02.960
I I'm not quite sure how I got by, but

806
01:02:04.079 --> 01:02:12.239
I did stop moaning. Finny, You like, why can't the

807
01:02:12.400 --> 01:02:20.400
sounds you make make me feel nice? That like it

808
01:02:20.440 --> 01:02:25.719
winds me up because it's just like he's never never satisfied,

809
01:02:25.760 --> 01:02:30.400
don't you You're never satisfied? Well, no treat, but he

810
01:02:30.480 --> 01:02:38.079
had that whining just great to me a little bit. Sometimes.

811
01:02:38.440 --> 01:02:43.800
Come on, It's just like I wish they could talk

812
01:02:43.840 --> 01:02:49.000
so I could really know what he's talking about. And

813
01:02:49.039 --> 01:02:51.679
he's probably thinking, you know, I just want to Every

814
01:02:51.679 --> 01:02:53.440
time I go up to my daddy and I just

815
01:02:53.480 --> 01:02:55.280
want to talk about and ask him about his day,

816
01:02:55.320 --> 01:02:57.840
he sticks a treat in my mouth. I don't even

817
01:02:57.840 --> 01:02:59.599
want to treat. I don't even like him. I eat

818
01:02:59.599 --> 01:03:04.119
them just please him. I was just yeah, Okay, that's

819
01:03:04.159 --> 01:03:05.079
not likely, is it?

820
01:03:07.760 --> 01:03:07.840
So?

821
01:03:08.000 --> 01:03:11.000
Yeah, I'm trying to think, are there any fond childed

822
01:03:11.039 --> 01:03:23.320
memories that you can recall? Yeah? I'm sure there was loads.

823
01:03:25.519 --> 01:03:36.840
Recalling them is another thing. I mean, Christmases were always good,

824
01:03:37.800 --> 01:03:43.440
like during the period between the ages of seven and fourteen.

825
01:03:47.920 --> 01:03:50.800
Things when even fifteen, but things have got a bit

826
01:03:50.920 --> 01:03:57.079
stressed at home by then. But during that period Christmases

827
01:03:57.159 --> 01:04:04.039
were brilliant. So every Christmas was great pretty much when

828
01:04:04.079 --> 01:04:06.079
I was a kid at you know, between the ages

829
01:04:06.119 --> 01:04:15.119
of seven and fourteen, every Christmas and unless I'm forgetting stuff,

830
01:04:15.239 --> 01:04:19.280
but generally I don't have I was told you when

831
01:04:19.280 --> 01:04:23.440
I got a bike, that was cool because it was

832
01:04:23.480 --> 01:04:26.679
the only time I really got something. I was always

833
01:04:26.719 --> 01:04:29.639
happy what I got I got. That's the one thing

834
01:04:29.679 --> 01:04:34.719
about my parents at the time, very generous when it

835
01:04:34.760 --> 01:04:38.440
came to Christmas and birthdays and stuff like that. It

836
01:04:38.559 --> 01:04:41.320
can't be no way can they be faulted for that.

837
01:04:41.440 --> 01:04:48.039
It was so generous. I had multiple presents, loads and

838
01:04:48.119 --> 01:04:51.880
loads of loads, so it was brilliant. But only once

839
01:04:52.119 --> 01:04:55.119
did I you know that this I don't know, maybe

840
01:04:55.119 --> 01:04:57.880
it's the same four kids. There was that one present

841
01:04:59.599 --> 01:05:03.239
as a kid that you want, you want father Christmas

842
01:05:03.239 --> 01:05:07.760
to bring you and mine did. I did get that

843
01:05:07.840 --> 01:05:10.559
and it was a bike. It was a racer and

844
01:05:10.639 --> 01:05:18.280
I was probably thirteen at the time. I had a

845
01:05:18.280 --> 01:05:22.400
paper around and I just wanted I needed a bike

846
01:05:22.559 --> 01:05:25.280
to get me around because it was taking me so long.

847
01:05:26.679 --> 01:05:29.400
And I was yeah, so yeah, I got my bike

848
01:05:29.920 --> 01:05:33.480
for Christmas. It was brilliant. It's very very please, best

849
01:05:33.480 --> 01:05:41.480
present I ever had. And I'm trying to think, yeah,

850
01:05:41.559 --> 01:05:48.400
so that was always good. I used to like going

851
01:05:48.440 --> 01:05:53.119
to the library on my own. That was nice. When

852
01:05:53.159 --> 01:05:56.960
I discovered the library, the library became kind of like

853
01:05:57.000 --> 01:06:01.360
a second home for me. I just loved going in there,

854
01:06:02.159 --> 01:06:05.760
reading the books, sitting down reading the books, going through

855
01:06:05.800 --> 01:06:09.039
every single book on the shelf, having a little dip.

856
01:06:09.360 --> 01:06:11.440
You know, that sounded weird, but you know what I mean,

857
01:06:11.599 --> 01:06:15.800
I look dipping in and have a little read. There

858
01:06:15.840 --> 01:06:21.559
was up upstairs. There was this, I don't know, like

859
01:06:21.679 --> 01:06:28.760
a partition thing upstairs where there was these kind of

860
01:06:28.800 --> 01:06:32.360
like encyclopedias and there was a big tables so I

861
01:06:32.360 --> 01:06:37.079
suppose the research area maybe they would call it. And

862
01:06:37.400 --> 01:06:42.440
I went through a period when I was researching things

863
01:06:42.559 --> 01:06:46.840
that's very interested in. I don't want to say the

864
01:06:46.880 --> 01:06:49.400
occult because that sounds a bit bad, but I was

865
01:06:49.440 --> 01:06:58.920
really interested in were wolves and witches and vampires and

866
01:06:59.000 --> 01:07:03.559
all that stuff just fascinated me. I was interested in UFOs,

867
01:07:03.719 --> 01:07:08.519
and I just I'd literally go in and I would

868
01:07:08.519 --> 01:07:13.079
do my own research on a subject. So I researched

869
01:07:13.159 --> 01:07:18.159
vampires and Dracula and Fled the Impaler, and I just

870
01:07:18.760 --> 01:07:21.159
I researched that. I went through all the different books

871
01:07:21.599 --> 01:07:24.960
and I copied out they what they wrote into my

872
01:07:24.960 --> 01:07:29.320
own pads, just for me. It was not for I

873
01:07:29.320 --> 01:07:40.599
wouldn't you wouldn't find me doing homework at all, but this, Yeah,

874
01:07:40.960 --> 01:07:43.119
I was. There was no reason for it. I just

875
01:07:43.719 --> 01:07:48.480
got obsessed. So that's what I did. That was brilliant.

876
01:07:48.519 --> 01:07:53.559
I'd spent hours doing that. I'd love that, and I'd

877
01:07:53.559 --> 01:07:57.679
had mayly three or four five big massive textbooks out

878
01:07:57.679 --> 01:07:59.480
and I'd just been looking at all the different pictures

879
01:07:59.519 --> 01:08:14.760
and yeah, loved it to Yeah, absolutely loved it and reading.

880
01:08:17.720 --> 01:08:19.760
I think my favorite bit was when none of the

881
01:08:19.800 --> 01:08:22.520
family were around, when I could just be I didn't

882
01:08:22.520 --> 01:08:25.920
mind obviously if they were around, but not around me,

883
01:08:27.119 --> 01:08:32.279
so I could be left on my own quiet. One

884
01:08:32.279 --> 01:08:35.000
of my favorite things to do. And I'm thinking back

885
01:08:36.279 --> 01:08:42.000
when I was like maybe ten eleven, ten, yeah, probably

886
01:08:42.000 --> 01:08:53.520
about ten, I would lie down on my Yeah, I'd

887
01:08:53.560 --> 01:08:58.119
lie down on the bed and i'd listen to classical music.

888
01:08:58.720 --> 01:09:03.680
There was an album which was basically the a lot

889
01:09:03.680 --> 01:09:16.079
of really really big movie scores. There's what was that

890
01:09:16.159 --> 01:09:20.840
Do Do Do Do Do a million dollars? Fist full

891
01:09:20.840 --> 01:09:26.760
of million dollars or whatever, and there was the Pretty

892
01:09:26.840 --> 01:09:31.359
Star Wars and Superman. Definitely Superman because they had the

893
01:09:31.399 --> 01:09:36.840
long version where Louis Lane is actually talking in them

894
01:09:36.960 --> 01:09:41.199
in the song and it's the bit where they're singing no,

895
01:09:41.279 --> 01:09:45.640
it's a bit where they're yeah, there's a bit. There's

896
01:09:45.680 --> 01:09:49.399
some music from a Superman where she's flying with him

897
01:09:49.479 --> 01:09:52.880
or he's holding her and flying with her, and it's

898
01:09:52.880 --> 01:09:55.600
like a romantic one. And there's a song that it's

899
01:09:55.840 --> 01:09:58.279
really nice song. But anyway, I used to do that.

900
01:09:58.880 --> 01:10:01.439
I just lay down on a back listened to the

901
01:10:01.520 --> 01:10:08.920
music and relax. When I was about ten. So that

902
01:10:09.039 --> 01:10:15.760
was a nice memory. Every time I visited my uncle,

903
01:10:18.840 --> 01:10:22.640
my uncle Terry, that was a nice memory because he

904
01:10:22.720 --> 01:10:29.239
was so brilliant. It was just lovely. It was lovely.

905
01:10:29.319 --> 01:10:31.840
I mean, yeah, he had money, but that wasn't the

906
01:10:31.880 --> 01:10:36.640
reason he was lovely. He was just lovely. Best uncle

907
01:10:36.720 --> 01:10:41.560
you could wish for. So I visited him a few

908
01:10:41.640 --> 01:10:44.279
times a couple of times when I was a bit older,

909
01:10:44.319 --> 01:10:52.000
when I was in my teens, and it always treated

910
01:10:52.039 --> 01:10:55.840
me with respect, always treated me like a human, but

911
01:10:55.960 --> 01:10:58.479
didn't talk down to me. He didn't treat me like

912
01:10:58.560 --> 01:11:07.560
I was a kid, and he showed interest, and it

913
01:11:07.640 --> 01:11:12.479
was like almost like I was an equal in a way,

914
01:11:12.560 --> 01:11:15.439
in a weird way, and he was, you know, he's

915
01:11:15.479 --> 01:11:18.039
fairly well off. He was a wealthy owned his own

916
01:11:18.079 --> 01:11:21.960
shipping company. This is back in Dover, so he was,

917
01:11:22.119 --> 01:11:24.359
you know, as well off, lived in a really large

918
01:11:24.399 --> 01:11:30.319
house on the beach in deal or something. Can't deal

919
01:11:30.399 --> 01:11:34.800
with her so lovely though, And as someone said to me,

920
01:11:34.800 --> 01:11:36.520
oh yeah, it seasi to be nice if you're rich,

921
01:11:36.600 --> 01:11:41.039
Like I don't think it's that simple. It's not that

922
01:11:41.199 --> 01:11:44.920
it's a very simple way to look at it. It's

923
01:11:46.119 --> 01:11:50.960
there's nothing wrong with being wealthy. And I've met plenty

924
01:11:51.000 --> 01:11:57.399
of people that weren't so nice were now wealthy. And

925
01:11:57.479 --> 01:12:00.680
I've met lots of people that were really nice when

926
01:12:01.079 --> 01:12:07.439
they were had no money, but also met really unpleasant

927
01:12:07.439 --> 01:12:12.159
people that had no money as well. It's I think

928
01:12:12.199 --> 01:12:14.960
it's down to the personality and not what's in their

929
01:12:15.000 --> 01:12:20.039
bank account. I'm guessing that's just my personal take on it,

930
01:12:21.279 --> 01:12:25.159
but he was lovely and it can't be changed that

931
01:12:25.239 --> 01:12:30.520
those memories. And I think the fact that he left

932
01:12:30.560 --> 01:12:32.399
me left me to do what I wanted to do.

933
01:12:33.760 --> 01:12:35.359
By that, I don't mean I was left on my own,

934
01:12:35.680 --> 01:12:37.760
but he's just like if I wanted to go into

935
01:12:37.800 --> 01:12:40.760
a different room and watch movies on my own, I could,

936
01:12:42.359 --> 01:12:47.279
and that was quite nice because I didn't really get

937
01:12:47.319 --> 01:12:49.920
to do that like at home because there's so many

938
01:12:50.000 --> 01:12:56.520
of us. So I think any time my family wasn't around,

939
01:12:57.079 --> 01:13:00.920
I was kind of happier. I think it was just

940
01:13:01.079 --> 01:13:08.279
crowd too many people constantly arguing between my brothers and me,

941
01:13:08.439 --> 01:13:11.039
they'd bring me into it as well. I'd probably argue

942
01:13:11.039 --> 01:13:14.039
more with my middle brother than with my oldest brother,

943
01:13:14.600 --> 01:13:17.600
but then he would probably argue with They would argue

944
01:13:17.640 --> 01:13:22.439
amongst themselves more as well, because it's like the age,

945
01:13:22.680 --> 01:13:25.000
because there was two years between me and my middle brother,

946
01:13:25.600 --> 01:13:28.159
those two years through my middle brother and my oldest brother,

947
01:13:29.800 --> 01:13:33.159
but that four year gap meant that we weren't really

948
01:13:34.479 --> 01:13:37.520
very different in age, so we didn't have so much

949
01:13:37.560 --> 01:13:41.640
to argue about. And then my little brother was eight

950
01:13:41.680 --> 01:13:44.239
years younger than me, so no one really argued with

951
01:13:44.319 --> 01:13:49.880
him until he got to about probably five or six,

952
01:13:50.720 --> 01:13:55.319
and then yeah, it was a bit of a bit

953
01:13:55.359 --> 01:14:04.520
of a little ruffian. Yeah, so I don't what do

954
01:14:04.560 --> 01:14:09.079
I want memories? See one of my fondest memories. And

955
01:14:09.119 --> 01:14:11.680
it's going to be weird for anyone that from the

956
01:14:11.800 --> 01:14:18.960
UK that knows the person I'm mentioning. But my school,

957
01:14:21.239 --> 01:14:29.800
and I think it was nineteen seventy nine, maybe nineteen eighty.

958
01:14:30.640 --> 01:14:35.840
My school was on the Rolf Harris Show and we

959
01:14:36.000 --> 01:14:42.800
rehearsed for months before that before the filming. At the time,

960
01:14:42.920 --> 01:14:49.880
Rolf Harris was super famous in his country and it

961
01:14:50.039 --> 01:14:54.119
travel around different schools and they'd be singing and dancing

962
01:14:54.279 --> 01:14:58.840
and all that stuff. The thing is it wasn't filmed

963
01:14:58.920 --> 01:15:02.840
in the schools that their own studio that they filmed

964
01:15:02.840 --> 01:15:05.119
it in, but it was it was a school. It

965
01:15:05.239 --> 01:15:08.079
looked like a school, and it probably was a school,

966
01:15:08.119 --> 01:15:10.720
to be fair, but it was maybe they used it

967
01:15:10.800 --> 01:15:15.239
during the summertime, but then make out it was the school,

968
01:15:15.439 --> 01:15:19.279
you know, the actual school that makes sense, the school

969
01:15:19.319 --> 01:15:25.920
that they were visiting. So it wasn't just the it

970
01:15:26.119 --> 01:15:30.560
wasn't just the whole day, the traveling with all the

971
01:15:30.720 --> 01:15:34.479
kids because you know, the whole school wasn't just like

972
01:15:34.560 --> 01:15:38.319
one year, so there's probably I don't know how many

973
01:15:38.359 --> 01:15:45.760
coachfuls of kids there was. We were all The rehearsing

974
01:15:45.800 --> 01:15:49.079
bit was really fun, so there's a lot of singing,

975
01:15:49.119 --> 01:15:53.960
a lot of dancing. You know. The sixth well I

976
01:15:54.039 --> 01:15:56.319
say six maybe maybe it's three months leading up to,

977
01:15:56.479 --> 01:16:02.600
but it seemed like quite a long time. And I

978
01:16:02.640 --> 01:16:05.800
think Rolf Harris came around and saw us first at

979
01:16:05.800 --> 01:16:07.960
the school to announce that he was going to be

980
01:16:09.560 --> 01:16:12.880
having us on his show, and it was one of

981
01:16:12.880 --> 01:16:18.039
the biggest shows on Saturday night TV, early TV, and

982
01:16:18.560 --> 01:16:22.359
he did a different different school each week, so it

983
01:16:22.479 --> 01:16:26.640
was exciting. The build up was exciting, the actual event

984
01:16:26.840 --> 01:16:32.199
was brilliant. I was on Camra quite a few times

985
01:16:32.319 --> 01:16:36.640
and I said I was like nine or ten. I'm

986
01:16:36.720 --> 01:16:39.880
not sure exactly that the act exact year is even

987
01:16:39.920 --> 01:16:46.119
nineteen seventy nine or nineteen nineteen eighty. It could be

988
01:16:46.119 --> 01:16:50.439
eighty one, because i'd have been ten in eighty one. Yeah,

989
01:16:50.800 --> 01:16:52.920
maybe it was eighty one. I think it was nineteen eighty.

990
01:16:53.560 --> 01:17:00.560
I think it was brilliant, absolutely one of the best

991
01:17:00.640 --> 01:17:06.439
days of my childhood. So yeah, I mean Lolf House

992
01:17:06.600 --> 01:17:11.359
is no longer around, and to see, yeah, things didn't

993
01:17:11.359 --> 01:17:14.720
go quite so well with him and his career, but

994
01:17:16.039 --> 01:17:18.199
it doesn't take away the fact that that was one

995
01:17:18.199 --> 01:17:24.880
of the highlights of my childhood positive highlights. What else

996
01:17:25.560 --> 01:17:32.800
childed fond chartered memories that I can recall. There was

997
01:17:32.840 --> 01:17:34.720
a period when my dad was in a good mood.

998
01:17:35.920 --> 01:17:40.680
I don't quite know why, but I remember coming home

999
01:17:40.760 --> 01:17:43.479
from school. So I was a teenager at this point,

1000
01:17:43.560 --> 01:17:48.239
so I would have been probably thirteen, maybe twelve thirteen,

1001
01:17:50.199 --> 01:17:57.159
and his I don't know what it is, he went.

1002
01:17:57.359 --> 01:17:59.840
There was this little period when he was buying stuff.

1003
01:18:00.319 --> 01:18:05.079
So she bought a new computer. And even though I

1004
01:18:05.119 --> 01:18:08.760
don't have I had no interest in computers back then,

1005
01:18:11.680 --> 01:18:16.560
the fact that everyone was happy was nice. My dad

1006
01:18:16.680 --> 01:18:20.880
was excited, My brothers were excited. My middle brother was

1007
01:18:20.880 --> 01:18:24.359
more excited than anyone about the computer, and he was

1008
01:18:24.439 --> 01:18:29.880
learning to code and all kinds of stuff. But it

1009
01:18:30.000 --> 01:18:33.680
was just and yeah, it was nice because it was

1010
01:18:33.680 --> 01:18:37.840
a nice atmosphere. So that happened a few times. Those

1011
01:18:37.920 --> 01:18:47.960
kinds of things, Yeah, I did. I'm never really I

1012
01:18:48.000 --> 01:18:51.520
don't think I ever really felt like I am superstitious,

1013
01:18:52.199 --> 01:18:55.800
but I tried to do the exact same walk and

1014
01:18:55.880 --> 01:18:58.119
tried to do everything the same as I did that

1015
01:18:58.319 --> 01:19:05.159
day and on the same day of the week to

1016
01:19:05.199 --> 01:19:07.920
see if I get the same result. So I got

1017
01:19:07.960 --> 01:19:11.760
home and things were nice. It's weird. I'd be like

1018
01:19:11.800 --> 01:19:14.520
looking at the floor at which bit did I walk on?

1019
01:19:15.479 --> 01:19:19.079
How did I feel? What was I listening to? Or

1020
01:19:19.079 --> 01:19:22.079
do you know? Just really trying to focus on getting

1021
01:19:22.119 --> 01:19:25.960
into that zone of if I could get into the

1022
01:19:26.039 --> 01:19:30.720
same zone, the same mindset, feeling exactly the same way

1023
01:19:30.760 --> 01:19:34.920
as I did the day when I got home and

1024
01:19:35.000 --> 01:19:38.000
the computer was there and he was in a good

1025
01:19:38.039 --> 01:19:41.079
mood and everyone was like happy past. If I could

1026
01:19:41.119 --> 01:19:44.720
get into that, then the same would happen again, not

1027
01:19:44.800 --> 01:19:47.640
a new computer, but just it'd be the same vibe.

1028
01:19:50.760 --> 01:19:54.560
And yeah, that's that's what I used to try and do.

1029
01:20:00.000 --> 01:20:03.399
One of my happy memories. I think when I was

1030
01:20:03.399 --> 01:20:07.840
a kid, Saturday evenings was nice. Quite often we'd all

1031
01:20:07.880 --> 01:20:12.079
sit down watch TV. When I was really young, I

1032
01:20:12.079 --> 01:20:17.239
would sit Lord lay on my front watching TV. I'd

1033
01:20:17.279 --> 01:20:19.880
be on the floor. They want to go a bit older.

1034
01:20:19.920 --> 01:20:20.319
I was.

1035
01:20:22.800 --> 01:20:22.920
Well.

1036
01:20:22.960 --> 01:20:24.920
I was told I couldn't because my bomb was too big.

1037
01:20:25.039 --> 01:20:27.560
No one could see the TV. That's not true. I

1038
01:20:27.560 --> 01:20:30.840
don't know why I said it, And so we're all

1039
01:20:30.920 --> 01:20:34.840
over dressing gowns on. Would have eaten at dinner, which

1040
01:20:34.880 --> 01:20:40.279
is usually like in the evening, like a snack kind

1041
01:20:40.319 --> 01:20:43.479
of like crisps, the buffet kind of thing that would

1042
01:20:43.520 --> 01:20:49.399
have So that was nice. Then we'd watch TV or

1043
01:20:49.479 --> 01:20:56.560
like TV shows early evening and I'd probably be in

1044
01:20:56.600 --> 01:21:00.199
bed at eight or whatever time I don't know by

1045
01:21:00.239 --> 01:21:06.239
then addressing gown on get a bag of sweets, which

1046
01:21:06.319 --> 01:21:13.680
is cool. So yeah, those were nice. And then there

1047
01:21:13.760 --> 01:21:16.680
was the period when because we didn't always do it,

1048
01:21:16.720 --> 01:21:21.720
but there was appeared when we had Yeah, we used

1049
01:21:21.760 --> 01:21:26.199
to get videos, not every week, but when we did

1050
01:21:26.199 --> 01:21:29.680
get videos, we'd get like four movies maybe on a

1051
01:21:29.760 --> 01:21:32.840
Friday night, maybe Saturday night, and we'd be able to

1052
01:21:32.920 --> 01:21:34.680
keep it for the weekend and take it back on

1053
01:21:34.720 --> 01:21:38.159
the Sunday or the Monday or something like that. This

1054
01:21:38.319 --> 01:21:44.000
is like early days of the video take cossette, and

1055
01:21:45.840 --> 01:21:47.880
that used to be brilliant, going down to the video

1056
01:21:47.960 --> 01:21:54.199
shop and we'd all go down together and try and

1057
01:21:54.279 --> 01:22:02.680
choose some movies together and yeah, great, yeah, I think

1058
01:22:02.760 --> 01:22:04.560
we were allowed to take it back Monday. So what

1059
01:22:04.600 --> 01:22:07.960
we did is we took it back, so we'd rent

1060
01:22:09.199 --> 01:22:12.720
or was it Sunday afternoon, so my dad would take

1061
01:22:12.800 --> 01:22:15.520
us up there in the car and we'd get the stuff,

1062
01:22:15.760 --> 01:22:17.279
and then one of us or a couple of us

1063
01:22:17.319 --> 01:22:20.720
would walk back and take the tapes backs down the seafront.

1064
01:22:21.000 --> 01:22:30.159
It's probably about thirty forty minute walk. Unless it was Monday,

1065
01:22:30.199 --> 01:22:32.800
we had to take it back. It's not really that relevant,

1066
01:22:32.840 --> 01:22:37.359
but yeah, that was cool. That was nice. I liked that.

1067
01:22:37.600 --> 01:22:44.399
I used to look forward to that. Childhood memories. Probably

1068
01:22:44.640 --> 01:22:47.960
some of my favorite childhood memories was when I got

1069
01:22:48.039 --> 01:22:55.600
my first television. I was fourteen, and it was a

1070
01:22:55.640 --> 01:23:03.119
black and white Porboll TV, and it was the first

1071
01:23:03.479 --> 01:23:08.880
time that I had any kind of say of what

1072
01:23:08.920 --> 01:23:14.279
I watched outside of being in the living room on

1073
01:23:14.399 --> 01:23:17.000
my own, you know, because there's stuff I used to

1074
01:23:17.000 --> 01:23:18.680
be able to watch when I was a kid that

1075
01:23:18.760 --> 01:23:22.880
no one else watched, like Grange Hill. My little brother

1076
01:23:23.039 --> 01:23:26.520
was too young to watch it, and both my older

1077
01:23:26.560 --> 01:23:28.720
brothers were too old to watch it. So it was

1078
01:23:28.720 --> 01:23:31.039
a time when I had the TV to myself for

1079
01:23:31.079 --> 01:23:34.720
about an hour and a half two hours sometimes, you know,

1080
01:23:34.760 --> 01:23:40.880
when I was around about the maybe twelve Mark, I'd watch, Yeah,

1081
01:23:40.880 --> 01:23:45.119
I'd watch Grange Hill for example. My brothers were too old,

1082
01:23:45.199 --> 01:23:49.399
they like, wouldn't watch that no more. I remember watching

1083
01:23:51.079 --> 01:23:57.479
Mister Merlin. But then there was a period when when

1084
01:23:57.479 --> 01:23:59.840
my little brother was old enough, we used to watch

1085
01:24:01.039 --> 01:24:07.479
cartoons together, so things like Musket Hounds, what other ones,

1086
01:24:10.199 --> 01:24:27.479
Danger Mouse, Mighty Mouse, Scooby Doo, the Muppet Babies. So

1087
01:24:27.520 --> 01:24:29.920
this is something. I don't think my little brother even

1088
01:24:29.960 --> 01:24:34.119
remembered this, but he there was this. It was a film.

1089
01:24:34.399 --> 01:24:36.319
I sent him a birthday card with it once on it,

1090
01:24:36.399 --> 01:24:39.039
and he didn't I think he remembered how to point

1091
01:24:39.079 --> 01:24:41.760
out what it was. And it was a movie called

1092
01:24:41.920 --> 01:24:50.840
Animal Olympics, Animal Impics. He watched it over and over

1093
01:24:51.800 --> 01:24:56.720
and over and over and over and over again. I

1094
01:24:56.760 --> 01:25:02.239
mean probably hundreds of times. That is his favorite movie.

1095
01:25:03.960 --> 01:25:06.920
He just loved watching it. I'm not sure how much

1096
01:25:06.960 --> 01:25:09.840
he understood what was going on because he was little,

1097
01:25:10.000 --> 01:25:13.319
really little, but he loved watching it. And I sent

1098
01:25:13.399 --> 01:25:15.319
him a birthday card a couple of years back with

1099
01:25:16.359 --> 01:25:20.600
like an image from that, and he didn't know what

1100
01:25:20.640 --> 01:25:25.920
it was. I don't think I should tell him one day, Well,

1101
01:25:25.920 --> 01:25:28.000
he has to live, and you want another tree. Yeah,

1102
01:25:28.119 --> 01:25:34.720
that's what it is. It's all we're doing. You're just feeding, feeding, feeding,

1103
01:25:34.840 --> 01:25:40.119
feeding food food. Well, i'll put it on there. I'll

1104
01:25:40.119 --> 01:25:44.479
see if he takes up. Yeah, when he really wants something,

1105
01:25:44.760 --> 01:25:47.680
I could put it on a chandelier if like, I've

1106
01:25:47.680 --> 01:25:50.600
got a chandelier, but I could put it like high

1107
01:25:50.720 --> 01:25:54.319
up on the ceiling and still get to it. Any

1108
01:25:54.359 --> 01:25:57.199
our childhood memories, there probably are a few. Can't really

1109
01:25:57.199 --> 01:26:05.199
think of anything right now. Yeah, just a few little

1110
01:26:05.239 --> 01:26:09.279
bits every now and then. Having my appendix out, that's

1111
01:26:09.319 --> 01:26:12.640
one of the best memories of my life. That was

1112
01:26:12.680 --> 01:26:16.119
brilliant being in hospital again, I think partly because I

1113
01:26:16.159 --> 01:26:18.520
was away from the family. It was a bit of

1114
01:26:18.560 --> 01:26:24.560
peace and quiet really, and yeah, I loved that. That

1115
01:26:24.680 --> 01:26:32.840
was brilliant. Another time would be I had it by

1116
01:26:33.079 --> 01:26:39.359
in my mind just now and it's gone. Well, that

1117
01:26:39.439 --> 01:26:41.960
was weird my stomach. Oh yeah, chicken pox. I loved

1118
01:26:41.960 --> 01:26:45.640
having chicken pox because I didn't have to go to school.

1119
01:26:47.319 --> 01:26:50.439
It was brilliant and it was snowing outside, so I

1120
01:26:50.520 --> 01:26:53.840
was there. Basically, I think my oldest brother got it first.

1121
01:26:54.439 --> 01:26:56.359
We all kind of took turns getting it, so it

1122
01:26:56.399 --> 01:26:59.239
was only I think it was a point where I

1123
01:26:59.319 --> 01:27:04.720
had to stay because too many of my family had it.

1124
01:27:04.920 --> 01:27:07.439
So I got like two weeks off work, off work,

1125
01:27:07.479 --> 01:27:13.119
off school, I think because I had to be contaminated

1126
01:27:13.199 --> 01:27:17.520
or whatever they call it contained. And I did get it,

1127
01:27:17.600 --> 01:27:22.640
and it was brilliant. It was so cool to not

1128
01:27:22.760 --> 01:27:24.840
have to go to school. I mean, that's one of

1129
01:27:24.880 --> 01:27:27.880
the benefits of having the appendix out. Didn't have to

1130
01:27:27.920 --> 01:27:30.920
go to school for a couple of weeks, didn't have

1131
01:27:30.960 --> 01:27:39.920
to go to school with the older chicken pox. I

1132
01:27:40.000 --> 01:27:44.479
just remember sitting indoors, drawing and things like that. It

1133
01:27:44.560 --> 01:27:48.359
was snowing outside. Maybe a bit of music playing, I

1134
01:27:48.359 --> 01:27:50.800
don't know. There was. The whole family was in, but

1135
01:27:50.840 --> 01:27:58.720
everyone was quite chilled out. We were just enjoying, enjoying it. Yeah,

1136
01:27:58.760 --> 01:28:04.600
that was nice. Basically illness, anything involved illness, it might.

1137
01:28:04.840 --> 01:28:08.279
I wasn't ill with it. I wasn't ill with chicken pox.

1138
01:28:08.439 --> 01:28:12.439
I mean I got it. I had the blotches, bit itchy,

1139
01:28:12.560 --> 01:28:16.479
that's it. It wasn't nothing for me. That wasn't being

1140
01:28:16.560 --> 01:28:22.319
ill and appendicitis. I I didn't really have it. I

1141
01:28:22.319 --> 01:28:27.119
don't think I had appendicitis. I was trying to get

1142
01:28:27.119 --> 01:28:30.039
off off school. So I kept using the thing about

1143
01:28:30.039 --> 01:28:32.319
having a stomach ache, and I did have a stomach ache,

1144
01:28:32.399 --> 01:28:35.920
but I don't know if it was appendicitis. I think

1145
01:28:35.960 --> 01:28:39.640
it might have been grumbling appendix or something. But they

1146
01:28:39.680 --> 01:28:42.439
took it out anyway, which was a win win situation

1147
01:28:42.560 --> 01:28:48.279
for me. It was just great. I just yeah. I mean,

1148
01:28:48.319 --> 01:28:50.640
I was thinking, at this rate, I'm going to run

1149
01:28:50.640 --> 01:28:52.600
out of body parts because I was trying to work

1150
01:28:52.640 --> 01:28:55.680
out what else can I have removed to get another

1151
01:28:55.720 --> 01:28:59.760
two weeks off school? But it didn't come to that.

1152
01:29:03.039 --> 01:29:11.760
Other things. There's a few bits, and bobsessed a few

1153
01:29:11.760 --> 01:29:17.680
of them anyway. So Georgie asks, do you have a

1154
01:29:17.720 --> 01:29:21.760
hidden talent? I don't have. I don't. I don't even

1155
01:29:21.840 --> 01:29:26.079
have any on show, never mind any hidden ones. I

1156
01:29:26.079 --> 01:29:33.800
ain't got no talents. No, I don't. Yeah, I do

1157
01:29:34.119 --> 01:29:38.960
think so, I don't know. I used to think I

1158
01:29:38.960 --> 01:29:43.840
could sing, and I think I could when I was younger.

1159
01:29:44.199 --> 01:29:46.159
Maybe everything's when I was younger, really, isn't it. But

1160
01:29:46.800 --> 01:29:48.680
I used to think I could sing, and I think

1161
01:29:48.720 --> 01:29:56.920
I could now not so much. But hidden talents I

1162
01:29:56.960 --> 01:30:04.600
can be annoying. It's not so hidden, is it. No,

1163
01:30:04.720 --> 01:30:09.640
I don't think there is. I can't. No, there's nothing. Really.

1164
01:30:09.720 --> 01:30:13.159
I don't think there's anything that I can do that

1165
01:30:13.359 --> 01:30:24.800
would surprise anybody. I'm just trying to think. Mm hmmm, Vinny,

1166
01:30:24.880 --> 01:30:29.520
I can seeing my peripheral begging, begging. I tell you, you're

1167
01:30:29.479 --> 01:30:36.000
begging again. Stop begging. Do you ever see it on

1168
01:30:36.119 --> 01:30:42.560
TV or movies where they're showing someone's doing something and

1169
01:30:42.600 --> 01:30:45.520
the person, like the start of show, can't see them

1170
01:30:45.560 --> 01:30:48.800
doing it, but it's literally in their peripherals. In no

1171
01:30:48.880 --> 01:30:51.960
way you would not see that person moving around to

1172
01:30:52.079 --> 01:30:56.359
the side of you, but they don't because it's a movie.

1173
01:30:56.439 --> 01:30:59.960
It's like, wait a minute, even the actor can see

1174
01:31:00.119 --> 01:31:04.399
that person. I can see, Vinny. I'm not looking at him,

1175
01:31:04.439 --> 01:31:07.479
but I can see him moving around and doing his law.

1176
01:31:08.600 --> 01:31:11.880
I haven't eaten him for a thousand years. My daddy

1177
01:31:11.920 --> 01:31:17.359
never gives me anything, you know, not Tom Sawyer, what

1178
01:31:17.479 --> 01:31:25.359
is it? The little kid? Tom? Please, sir? Can I

1179
01:31:25.399 --> 01:31:32.239
have similer? Oliver Twist? That's it? So I looked at him.

1180
01:31:32.399 --> 01:31:35.560
As soon as I saw him, I thought, yeah, Oliver Twist, Oliver.

1181
01:31:35.600 --> 01:31:37.760
I'm gonna call you Oliver now. I'm gonna call you

1182
01:31:37.800 --> 01:31:41.000
Oliver Twist. And you've got some food on your on

1183
01:31:41.079 --> 01:31:46.800
your mouth, clean up after yourself. Ah the other day

1184
01:31:46.920 --> 01:31:49.079
and I talked about him, but I still can't believe

1185
01:31:49.119 --> 01:31:52.199
that I went out. I had a little bit of

1186
01:31:52.239 --> 01:31:56.960
chocolate and the toffee was all over my beard from

1187
01:31:57.000 --> 01:31:59.520
the bit of chocolate I had, and I went out

1188
01:32:00.119 --> 01:32:04.000
took him out. I was talking to different people. I

1189
01:32:04.039 --> 01:32:06.199
was talking to two people. When I got back as well,

1190
01:32:06.640 --> 01:32:09.199
not one punched person mentioned the fact that I had this,

1191
01:32:09.800 --> 01:32:12.560
and it was stretched out as well. It wasn't like

1192
01:32:12.800 --> 01:32:18.079
just a little bit. Why didn't anyone mention it? It

1193
01:32:18.199 --> 01:32:25.920
was just do I don't have any hidden talents? I

1194
01:32:25.960 --> 01:32:35.159
don't think I really. I used to write poems, I

1195
01:32:35.239 --> 01:32:42.720
used to write songs, but again not something I would

1196
01:32:42.720 --> 01:32:48.079
call talents. I suppose things that I wanted to do.

1197
01:32:50.720 --> 01:32:53.640
The poems were more just as an expression, to be fair,

1198
01:32:54.159 --> 01:32:57.920
the songs that was more to do with romance. I

1199
01:32:58.000 --> 01:33:02.720
was trying to be roman antick. Ye know, it's a

1200
01:33:02.800 --> 01:33:07.439
long time ago. No, I can't think of any. Maybe

1201
01:33:07.479 --> 01:33:11.119
I do, but they're hidden. They must be hidden, very

1202
01:33:11.239 --> 01:33:24.159
very well hidden, because I don't really No, I don't

1203
01:33:24.199 --> 01:33:28.720
think I have any. But then you know, if they're hidden,

1204
01:33:28.720 --> 01:33:31.000
I wouldn't know in a sense, I know you're talking

1205
01:33:31.000 --> 01:33:32.960
about I I've got any hidden talents that I kind

1206
01:33:32.960 --> 01:33:36.399
of don't tell anyone about. But I don't think I have.

1207
01:33:38.000 --> 01:33:43.039
But you know, I do believe that we're all we've

1208
01:33:43.079 --> 01:33:47.520
all got hidden talents that maybe we never find out about.

1209
01:33:48.079 --> 01:33:52.119
You know, not just just one thing, multiple things that

1210
01:33:53.399 --> 01:33:56.560
you know, I might be or you might be really

1211
01:33:56.600 --> 01:34:00.399
really good. It's something that you've never even attempted to do,

1212
01:34:00.960 --> 01:34:04.840
but because you got no interest in it yet, if

1213
01:34:04.880 --> 01:34:08.079
you did have a go at it and you realized

1214
01:34:09.439 --> 01:34:12.920
that you were naturally gifted, I'm guessing that would make

1215
01:34:12.960 --> 01:34:18.560
you interested in it. Oh Okay, I do have a talent,

1216
01:34:18.640 --> 01:34:21.560
it's not hidden so much. I am very good on

1217
01:34:21.600 --> 01:34:27.359
the phone, and I was very good at sales, but

1218
01:34:27.399 --> 01:34:31.840
I didn't enjoy it. I didn't enjoy the pressure or

1219
01:34:31.880 --> 01:34:35.520
the stress. So yeah, and I was very good at listening.

1220
01:34:36.279 --> 01:34:43.239
I'm good at listening. My job, apart from being a

1221
01:34:43.279 --> 01:34:46.199
counselor and stuff. Later on, I did have a job

1222
01:34:46.239 --> 01:34:50.479
where my whole job was listening to phone calls and

1223
01:34:50.520 --> 01:34:56.079
making sure that the people the staff calls that they

1224
01:34:56.079 --> 01:34:58.880
were doing their job properly and they were sticking to

1225
01:34:58.960 --> 01:35:04.439
the script, and you know, I had to mark these

1226
01:35:04.520 --> 01:35:08.840
calls and I was I'd say it was pretty good

1227
01:35:09.039 --> 01:35:11.479
at that, But I don't know if that's much of

1228
01:35:11.520 --> 01:35:16.199
a hidden talent. Being pedantic really, isn't it. I don't know.

1229
01:35:15.800 --> 01:35:24.640
I mean, literally, my job was being pedantic, being quite inflexible.

1230
01:35:26.119 --> 01:35:31.960
So yeah, I've got hidden talent. I'm very inflexible, but

1231
01:35:32.119 --> 01:35:38.199
that's not so hidden. I don't think. If you ask

1232
01:35:38.319 --> 01:35:40.479
me that question again in a different day, I will

1233
01:35:40.720 --> 01:35:44.479
be thinking about that. It's quite weird because Georgia. I

1234
01:35:44.479 --> 01:35:51.680
also know someone called Georgia Georgia, and I was dreaming

1235
01:35:51.720 --> 01:35:58.319
about it last night. It's really weird. It's had some

1236
01:35:58.600 --> 01:36:04.319
very very strange dreams last night. And I had this

1237
01:36:04.399 --> 01:36:09.960
conversation with this this female that I used to work with,

1238
01:36:11.159 --> 01:36:17.479
and I had this thing. I never ever dated waitresses

1239
01:36:17.640 --> 01:36:22.720
that I worked with, just basically because I kind of

1240
01:36:22.800 --> 01:36:26.520
did nearly once and it was awkward. So I thought, no,

1241
01:36:26.600 --> 01:36:32.239
I'm not doing that anymore, and because you know, I

1242
01:36:32.319 --> 01:36:35.800
got to work with them, it doesn't work out as awkward.

1243
01:36:38.600 --> 01:36:41.359
So there was this one waitress who I really liked

1244
01:36:43.199 --> 01:36:44.760
as a friend, you know, I just really liked that

1245
01:36:46.800 --> 01:36:48.880
and she started giving me some hints that maybe she

1246
01:36:49.119 --> 01:36:54.000
liked me in a more you know, my more I

1247
01:36:54.000 --> 01:36:55.840
don't know for romance is the right word, but in

1248
01:36:55.840 --> 01:37:01.399
a more physical way and sort of telling me stuff whatever.

1249
01:37:03.359 --> 01:37:08.520
And she gave me three really massive hints over time,

1250
01:37:09.720 --> 01:37:13.960
you know, three different occasions. Once she danced with me,

1251
01:37:15.520 --> 01:37:19.319
and other times she told me some things that she liked.

1252
01:37:19.760 --> 01:37:23.159
And on the third time she told me I'm not

1253
01:37:23.159 --> 01:37:25.039
going to use the words, but it was on the

1254
01:37:25.159 --> 01:37:29.319
leaving do she said, you like, I'm gonna say blank,

1255
01:37:30.199 --> 01:37:35.359
and I've got blank. I still didn't take the hint,

1256
01:37:36.760 --> 01:37:43.600
and because I was just nervous, I just didn't know.

1257
01:37:44.520 --> 01:37:46.399
I felt like I was being watched by the other

1258
01:37:46.439 --> 01:37:50.439
people in the room, and I just yeah, I didn't

1259
01:37:50.479 --> 01:37:55.560
know really what to do, so I didn't pursue. I didn't,

1260
01:37:55.880 --> 01:38:01.600
which I kind of regret. And even now our dream

1261
01:38:01.680 --> 01:38:05.760
about her really weird. I mean literally last night, but

1262
01:38:05.840 --> 01:38:11.479
over the years. It's twenty twenty four years ago, so

1263
01:38:11.560 --> 01:38:15.760
it's way too long to be and it didn't seem

1264
01:38:15.840 --> 01:38:24.000
to bother me at the time, but like this literally

1265
01:38:24.000 --> 01:38:27.880
had a I was conversing with her, explaining to us

1266
01:38:27.960 --> 01:38:31.079
or I disapologize and saying I know that you I

1267
01:38:31.079 --> 01:38:32.960
wish i'd kind of done something and we didn't.

1268
01:38:34.319 --> 01:38:34.520
You know.

1269
01:38:34.560 --> 01:38:38.920
Blh blah blah blah blah. It's weird, very weird. And

1270
01:38:40.640 --> 01:38:43.760
Hillary asked me, Okay, let's try again. Where entireland did

1271
01:38:43.760 --> 01:38:47.760
you go? I've been there many times, too many different parts.

1272
01:38:47.840 --> 01:38:50.479
Just interested where you went? So I went near bang

1273
01:38:50.560 --> 01:39:00.680
Kok bang Kok and it's yeah, I suppose I don't

1274
01:39:00.720 --> 01:39:03.920
go into great detail about where I've been. I don't

1275
01:39:03.960 --> 01:39:06.680
rejudge because that's where I went is a little bit

1276
01:39:06.680 --> 01:39:11.199
of a I think the class is some of it

1277
01:39:11.399 --> 01:39:15.199
like sex tourists, and I wasn't that. It wasn't for

1278
01:39:15.239 --> 01:39:17.680
that reason. I was just going because it's a Buddhist

1279
01:39:17.680 --> 01:39:23.079
country and I wanted I needed to get away. I

1280
01:39:23.119 --> 01:39:27.439
was talking to a friend about this. After I lost Andrea,

1281
01:39:28.520 --> 01:39:31.600
I started going back and my panic attacks came back,

1282
01:39:32.600 --> 01:39:35.600
not like the occasional one or the like the standard

1283
01:39:35.720 --> 01:39:39.640
kind of stuff that I have, but like really became

1284
01:39:39.680 --> 01:39:43.800
really bad again. And I think part of that because

1285
01:39:43.800 --> 01:39:49.640
I lost Andrea, I no longer had the emotional what

1286
01:39:49.760 --> 01:39:54.680
Vinnie gives me and what Andre gave me is emotional support.

1287
01:39:54.720 --> 01:39:58.359
I suppose really in reality, it's emotional support. It's an

1288
01:39:58.359 --> 01:40:08.640
emotional or emotional whatever. And so I was up here

1289
01:40:08.680 --> 01:40:10.760
on my own, and I was also dealing with all

1290
01:40:10.800 --> 01:40:15.720
the drama of downstairs and my neighbor and all that

1291
01:40:15.800 --> 01:40:23.760
came with that, and it got too much. So I

1292
01:40:23.840 --> 01:40:27.720
managed to go away. And I just basically chose the

1293
01:40:27.760 --> 01:40:30.800
first place because I'd done a bit of research, gone

1294
01:40:30.800 --> 01:40:34.359
on YouTube, and every time I put in Thailand there

1295
01:40:34.439 --> 01:40:41.880
was like Pattire came up and Bouquette Bangkok, those kinds

1296
01:40:41.920 --> 01:40:47.960
of areas, so I thought, yeah, I had there, That's

1297
01:40:47.960 --> 01:40:49.680
why I did. So I just went there and just

1298
01:40:50.279 --> 01:40:57.600
found somewhere to stay. And yeah, it was all right

1299
01:40:57.840 --> 01:41:01.079
the first time I went twice. The second time rainy season,

1300
01:41:01.159 --> 01:41:04.720
so that wasn't so good. At the moment they got

1301
01:41:04.760 --> 01:41:07.880
Sangrin Sangron, I think it's just come to an end

1302
01:41:07.880 --> 01:41:11.319
where there's basically two weeks of covering each other with

1303
01:41:11.399 --> 01:41:17.800
waters like a New Year thing. It's like the Thailand

1304
01:41:17.920 --> 01:41:24.800
New Year celebration Songrin song Grand or Songrin. I wouldn't

1305
01:41:24.800 --> 01:41:29.199
want to be there during that. Something I noticed about

1306
01:41:29.199 --> 01:41:34.079
myself is weird, even though I was technically on holiday.

1307
01:41:35.039 --> 01:41:39.760
The bipolar didn't stay at home. It's weird, Honestly, I

1308
01:41:39.960 --> 01:41:45.239
thought in my mind, bearing in mind that I hadn't

1309
01:41:45.399 --> 01:41:54.560
really been anywhere since two thousand and three was the

1310
01:41:54.640 --> 01:41:58.880
last time I'd really gone anywhere, like on my own holiday,

1311
01:41:59.199 --> 01:42:05.640
So that's yeah, twenty years or whatever, nearly fort I'd

1312
01:42:05.680 --> 01:42:10.199
just go away and I'd be oh so happy. And no,

1313
01:42:10.359 --> 01:42:14.399
it wasn't like that. It was there was the relief

1314
01:42:15.439 --> 01:42:18.000
of not having to deal with people that were here,

1315
01:42:18.319 --> 01:42:22.000
but then I had to deal with new people, although

1316
01:42:22.039 --> 01:42:23.800
most of those people were nice, but there was a

1317
01:42:23.840 --> 01:42:28.079
lot of It was quite It wasn't busy like it

1318
01:42:28.159 --> 01:42:32.399
normally is because of the the because it was a

1319
01:42:32.520 --> 01:42:36.479
mask wearing times. It was just after that or during

1320
01:42:36.479 --> 01:42:43.399
that period. But there's still a fair bit of people around.

1321
01:42:45.840 --> 01:42:50.279
And yeah, that's where it went. So I've met a

1322
01:42:50.359 --> 01:42:52.880
couple of people actually around here that went to Thailand

1323
01:42:53.920 --> 01:42:58.640
and they went to those parts. The thing is, there's

1324
01:42:58.680 --> 01:43:00.880
lots of islands that I could have gone. I could

1325
01:43:00.920 --> 01:43:04.560
have gone on excursions. There was a big old fairy

1326
01:43:04.800 --> 01:43:08.319
full of little little boats which I could have traveled

1327
01:43:08.359 --> 01:43:13.920
to multiple different islands. Because it is pretty much paradise,

1328
01:43:14.000 --> 01:43:20.199
isn't it out there. The thing is, once I got

1329
01:43:20.239 --> 01:43:26.119
out there, I just the first time. So I went

1330
01:43:26.159 --> 01:43:32.119
out twice. The first time I broke my rib because

1331
01:43:32.119 --> 01:43:36.239
I just had like a genuine message, like a proper

1332
01:43:36.640 --> 01:43:42.079
time message. And this bloke he just pressed on my

1333
01:43:42.199 --> 01:43:46.279
back and and all I heard was click, a really

1334
01:43:46.359 --> 01:43:51.039
loud click. He found it funny. I couldn't breathe. I

1335
01:43:51.079 --> 01:43:53.680
didn't find it quite as funny. I mean, maybe if

1336
01:43:53.680 --> 01:43:55.039
I was able to breathe, I might have been able

1337
01:43:55.119 --> 01:44:00.479
to laugh. But you know, and from and that was

1338
01:44:00.520 --> 01:44:05.119
I think the second day in So from then on

1339
01:44:05.800 --> 01:44:10.000
I was I just couldn't really do much. It didn't

1340
01:44:10.000 --> 01:44:14.359
stop me getting around, but I couldn't you know. I

1341
01:44:14.399 --> 01:44:17.720
wasn't sleeping really, I wasn't able to, you know. It

1342
01:44:17.760 --> 01:44:21.279
was just it was very uncomfortable, to the point where

1343
01:44:21.279 --> 01:44:25.680
I left early. I got an early flight back. But

1344
01:44:25.760 --> 01:44:28.800
I did manage to give food out, so that was

1345
01:44:28.840 --> 01:44:31.159
really good. I loved that bit. So I made to

1346
01:44:31.159 --> 01:44:33.439
give loads of food out to people who were hungry.

1347
01:44:34.399 --> 01:44:40.600
So the second time I went, I thought I deserve

1348
01:44:40.920 --> 01:44:45.000
on my Once my rob was held up, it started

1349
01:44:45.000 --> 01:44:48.720
getting bad again downstairs, and I thought, no more, I've

1350
01:44:48.720 --> 01:44:53.520
got to get out of here, and I had to

1351
01:44:53.520 --> 01:44:56.359
go somewhere, so I just thought, ah, to go there.

1352
01:44:56.720 --> 01:44:59.920
Just's got a flight, didn't book a hotel or anything.

1353
01:45:00.039 --> 01:45:03.000
I just like just went there, got to Bangkok and

1354
01:45:03.039 --> 01:45:09.000
decided where to go next. And I ended up in

1355
01:45:09.039 --> 01:45:12.720
a sports bar, really nice. It was full of Australians,

1356
01:45:12.800 --> 01:45:17.279
run by Australians, full of Australian customers. I was the

1357
01:45:17.319 --> 01:45:24.319
only brick there, I think, and it was really well.

1358
01:45:24.439 --> 01:45:26.239
It was a sports bar. I was aimed at all

1359
01:45:26.239 --> 01:45:29.159
the different sports. The good thing I did have boxing

1360
01:45:29.239 --> 01:45:32.000
on once, so that was one of the highlights of

1361
01:45:32.039 --> 01:45:37.399
the holiday, sitting there having me breakfast watching heavyweight boxing fight.

1362
01:45:38.399 --> 01:45:49.000
It was and uies and and Uiez and Otis Otis

1363
01:45:49.199 --> 01:45:52.399
was I forget his name, but yeah it was really

1364
01:45:52.760 --> 01:45:54.800
it was a Cuban fighter. But anyway, that was that

1365
01:45:54.880 --> 01:46:01.279
was good. So technically things are going well there. Yeah.

1366
01:46:02.039 --> 01:46:09.399
I got there just before my birthday and I had

1367
01:46:09.439 --> 01:46:12.720
a really good birthday. Went on this big pub crawl.

1368
01:46:13.680 --> 01:46:16.359
It was part of another bar and it took us

1369
01:46:16.359 --> 01:46:23.119
all around different places, different pubs and stuff. And the

1370
01:46:23.159 --> 01:46:26.119
next day I had a chest infection. I was feeling

1371
01:46:26.119 --> 01:46:29.279
ill during that day as well as it was going on,

1372
01:46:29.920 --> 01:46:33.920
and I had a chest infection that lasted about ten days,

1373
01:46:34.680 --> 01:46:39.720
so I was in bed and then I tried to

1374
01:46:39.760 --> 01:46:43.000
get a ticket early to go home, couldn't, so I

1375
01:46:43.079 --> 01:46:46.359
ended up staying there for two and a half weeks,

1376
01:46:46.399 --> 01:46:53.079
three weeks, I can't remember. And then I was well

1377
01:46:53.119 --> 01:46:57.319
for about I was probably I was still coughing a bit,

1378
01:46:57.399 --> 01:47:01.039
but I was on my way to getting better. Wasn't

1379
01:47:01.079 --> 01:47:05.560
completely healed, wasn't completely back, but I probably had a

1380
01:47:05.600 --> 01:47:09.680
couple of days of feeling better, and I had probably

1381
01:47:10.399 --> 01:47:13.279
four days of being able to go out and walk around.

1382
01:47:14.800 --> 01:47:16.720
I waited until it was the evening when there wasn't

1383
01:47:16.760 --> 01:47:21.279
so many people around because unfortunately I dan't cough in

1384
01:47:21.359 --> 01:47:28.439
public because somebody would always shout out a certain word

1385
01:47:29.159 --> 01:47:36.079
beginning with C and then ended with it's. That was weird.

1386
01:47:36.560 --> 01:47:39.439
So yeah, but I didn't realize because they were putting

1387
01:47:39.439 --> 01:47:44.439
adverts on TV in Thailand that was just scaring everyone,

1388
01:47:45.000 --> 01:47:52.399
like proper, Yeah, it's weird, weird seeing what other countries do.

1389
01:47:54.479 --> 01:47:58.640
So Michelle, how did you decide to start the boy

1390
01:47:58.680 --> 01:48:02.600
You Let Me Bore You to Sleep podcast? They great

1391
01:48:02.600 --> 01:48:07.319
Bay Away, Thank you, The Grips Bay away. I'm slurring today?

1392
01:48:08.359 --> 01:48:10.680
Am I slurring or I'm I just being lazy a

1393
01:48:10.680 --> 01:48:15.159
little bit, both, a bit tired. Yesterday I was shattered,

1394
01:48:16.560 --> 01:48:17.680
like at the end of it, I had to go

1395
01:48:17.720 --> 01:48:21.960
to bed early. I just I hadn't eaten really much.

1396
01:48:22.239 --> 01:48:26.439
I just like it drained everything out of me. So

1397
01:48:26.479 --> 01:48:28.840
I woke up today. I'm still feel like I'm a

1398
01:48:28.880 --> 01:48:32.520
little bit recovering from that. It's weird. I'm not built

1399
01:48:32.520 --> 01:48:38.680
for that stuff anymore, taking on other people's stuff, like, oh,

1400
01:48:38.840 --> 01:48:43.399
I'm not so I think they let me boy to sleep.

1401
01:48:43.439 --> 01:48:49.399
It was twenty eighteen, had I did have precursors to

1402
01:48:49.439 --> 01:48:54.800
the let Me Boy to Sleep? In two thousand and ten,

1403
01:48:58.960 --> 01:49:06.720
I did a hypno chats, which is basically a mixture

1404
01:49:06.800 --> 01:49:12.359
between chatting and hypnosis. So I would just talk about

1405
01:49:12.399 --> 01:49:17.279
my day about a subject, and then I would ease

1406
01:49:17.359 --> 01:49:25.640
into a hypnosis session and I'd end up doing like

1407
01:49:25.760 --> 01:49:31.119
a a relaxation session at the end of it. So

1408
01:49:31.840 --> 01:49:35.760
that that's the hypno chats, and I'd choose a subject

1409
01:49:35.800 --> 01:49:37.800
and it could be all kinds of weird different things.

1410
01:49:38.720 --> 01:49:42.239
Weird things. I mean, I do still have them, but

1411
01:49:42.279 --> 01:49:43.800
no one ever listened to them. So I just got

1412
01:49:43.880 --> 01:49:46.439
rid of them, but I've still got them on here

1413
01:49:47.760 --> 01:49:57.720
on my Really that's weird. Oh okay, hypno Chats? Is

1414
01:49:57.760 --> 01:50:07.239
it hypno Hip No Chats? Yeah? I do still got

1415
01:50:07.279 --> 01:50:10.720
it on and still got the recordings. I've got twenty

1416
01:50:11.720 --> 01:50:16.800
twenty Yeah, twenty different ones. They range, They do range

1417
01:50:16.920 --> 01:50:22.119
different subjects. Number one was future. Number two is public

1418
01:50:22.159 --> 01:50:27.319
transport and sending healing energy. Wow, I won. If it

1419
01:50:27.359 --> 01:50:31.640
tells me what year it was, No, it doesn't. It

1420
01:50:31.680 --> 01:50:41.359
says twenty fifteen, but it was long before that. Yeah.

1421
01:50:41.479 --> 01:50:43.600
And then so I did hit No Chats. Then I

1422
01:50:43.680 --> 01:50:58.800
did another version talking out talking out loudly or thinking

1423
01:50:58.840 --> 01:51:01.479
out loudly, I don't know, something like that, which was

1424
01:51:01.520 --> 01:51:05.119
like another version of this where I just talked about stuff.

1425
01:51:05.840 --> 01:51:12.239
And then I did hypnotic Buffet hip not tick Buffet.

1426
01:51:12.359 --> 01:51:17.199
See if that's still around on my Oh it's not

1427
01:51:18.399 --> 01:51:22.760
hypnotic Buffet. Have I lost all those recordings of way? Okay,

1428
01:51:22.840 --> 01:51:26.680
I may have lost them all. Never mind, Oh no,

1429
01:51:26.760 --> 01:51:30.600
I don't. I don't really want to have lost them

1430
01:51:30.600 --> 01:51:36.199
more to be fair, hypnotic Buffet. Oh no, they are

1431
01:51:36.359 --> 01:51:39.119
still on air. I was looking at the wrong in

1432
01:51:39.159 --> 01:51:44.920
the wrong folder, so there are thirty one hypnotic buffets,

1433
01:51:46.359 --> 01:51:57.920
and the last one I did was where's that's weird?

1434
01:51:58.159 --> 01:52:03.319
I don't want to see properties. That's it. According to

1435
01:52:03.359 --> 01:52:05.239
this the last one I did was the six of

1436
01:52:05.279 --> 01:52:10.680
all was twenty eighteen, but that I don't think that

1437
01:52:10.680 --> 01:52:18.439
would be true. It says created eleventh of September twenty eighteen. Yeah,

1438
01:52:18.479 --> 01:52:24.159
I don't think that's true either. Before that, so yeah,

1439
01:52:24.199 --> 01:52:30.520
I did those. Did I have those named? I don't

1440
01:52:30.560 --> 01:52:36.520
know if a look or yeah. The underlying thing was

1441
01:52:37.000 --> 01:52:45.399
so hypnotic buffet thoughts and ideas to transform lives every Monday.

1442
01:52:45.920 --> 01:52:54.199
So this is what I did, probably two thousand, well

1443
01:52:54.239 --> 01:52:59.000
maybe it was twenty fifteen. Did what was it two thousand,

1444
01:53:00.560 --> 01:53:05.239
twoy eighteen? No, it wouldn't have been twenty eighteen. I

1445
01:53:05.239 --> 01:53:10.119
don't think so anyway. But I started to let me

1446
01:53:10.159 --> 01:53:22.159
boys to sleep in. That was previous versions general. Yeah,

1447
01:53:22.199 --> 01:53:24.920
eleventh of September two thousand and eight, that's just when

1448
01:53:24.960 --> 01:53:32.039
they were transferred. So after that, so I did the

1449
01:53:32.079 --> 01:53:37.199
three different things I used to do Jason Chats, which

1450
01:53:37.279 --> 01:53:39.680
was just a blog about my life, and I just

1451
01:53:39.720 --> 01:53:42.880
talked about that and someone posted I think it was

1452
01:53:42.920 --> 01:53:46.800
on YouTube. They said oh, I was fall asleep. Whenever

1453
01:53:46.840 --> 01:53:51.760
you do your blogs. Part of me it was a

1454
01:53:51.800 --> 01:53:54.479
little bit like, oh, that's a bit rude, a little

1455
01:53:54.479 --> 01:53:56.760
bit rude. You know, I'm talking about my life and

1456
01:53:56.800 --> 01:54:02.439
you're falling asleep. Dumber's game. It's time for food, baby food,

1457
01:54:02.479 --> 01:54:06.760
food food. But then another party fought. Hmm, there's something

1458
01:54:06.800 --> 01:54:14.760
in that. So regardless what I talk about, you're bored.

1459
01:54:15.319 --> 01:54:17.239
Guess what the person said, you just bore me and

1460
01:54:17.319 --> 01:54:21.880
I fall asleep. They might have been trying to be rude,

1461
01:54:22.039 --> 01:54:27.399
but I thought about it and I thought, okay, So

1462
01:54:29.840 --> 01:54:32.159
I started a podcast, let Me Boy You to Sleep,

1463
01:54:32.399 --> 01:54:41.520
which was when was it, Let Me Bore You to Sleep?

1464
01:54:47.840 --> 01:54:53.520
Twenty seventh of March twenty eighteen. That was the very first,

1465
01:54:53.560 --> 01:54:59.880
so we have I missed that. I could have put

1466
01:55:00.079 --> 01:55:07.680
down the what was it eighteen nineteen twenty, I could have.

1467
01:55:10.800 --> 01:55:13.279
I could have done the seventh year anniversary episode, but

1468
01:55:13.319 --> 01:55:20.600
I didn't think about it. Oh well, so yeah, it's

1469
01:55:20.880 --> 01:55:24.680
it was. So that was the very very very first

1470
01:55:25.000 --> 01:55:31.039
recording after Let Me Boy to Sleep. Now, I didn't

1471
01:55:31.079 --> 01:55:33.479
do any research. I didn't look online to see if

1472
01:55:33.520 --> 01:55:37.079
anyone else was doing boring recordings. I just did it.

1473
01:55:37.680 --> 01:55:41.680
There is another podcast something like Bore Me to Sleep

1474
01:55:41.880 --> 01:55:44.920
that's been around a few more years than me, And

1475
01:55:45.199 --> 01:55:48.079
someone was saying, oh, you're just copying them, Like, No,

1476
01:55:48.680 --> 01:55:53.520
first of all, I didn't know they existed. Secondly, I

1477
01:55:53.520 --> 01:55:57.199
don't think anyone does what I do. I don't mean

1478
01:55:57.239 --> 01:55:59.399
it in a good way, because you know, I'll probably

1479
01:55:59.399 --> 01:56:02.319
be better off if I did copy other people. But

1480
01:56:03.640 --> 01:56:07.119
this is what I do is unique. Even if it

1481
01:56:07.159 --> 01:56:12.960
was the identical type of thing, it would still be different. Yeah,

1482
01:56:12.960 --> 01:56:16.199
if you got if you like, gave a topic talk

1483
01:56:16.279 --> 01:56:22.359
about watching tennis, and you gave that topic to any

1484
01:56:22.359 --> 01:56:24.960
other podcasts and you gave it to me, mine's going

1485
01:56:25.039 --> 01:56:27.159
to be different from theirs, and there is probably going

1486
01:56:27.199 --> 01:56:29.640
to be different from everyone else's as well. It's gonna

1487
01:56:29.640 --> 01:56:34.119
be different. So that's how I ended up doing this.

1488
01:56:35.520 --> 01:56:41.560
And I didn't expect it to lead anywhere. I really didn't.

1489
01:56:41.600 --> 01:56:49.560
I don't think it would be Yeah, I didn't. I

1490
01:56:49.560 --> 01:56:52.159
didn't really think anything of it. It was just a

1491
01:56:52.239 --> 01:56:56.199
new thing. I thought maybe i'd do perhaps ten twenty,

1492
01:56:56.359 --> 01:57:03.000
you know, like the Hypnotic Buffet or the hypno Chats.

1493
01:57:03.840 --> 01:57:06.279
I didn't think it would lead to anything. Sort of

1494
01:57:06.319 --> 01:57:12.319
a lot ongoing, but it did, and seven years over,

1495
01:57:12.359 --> 01:57:18.119
seven years later, here we are. And I think it's

1496
01:57:18.119 --> 01:57:22.680
because I was getting feedback. People were telling me they're

1497
01:57:22.760 --> 01:57:26.039
very relaxing regardless of what I talk about. And some

1498
01:57:26.079 --> 01:57:30.880
people like the fact that I'm real. I do make

1499
01:57:30.920 --> 01:57:33.600
stuff up, obviously. I think that's obvious. I do that

1500
01:57:33.640 --> 01:57:38.840
as well. I don't generally take myself too seriously. I

1501
01:57:41.000 --> 01:57:43.359
can see the funny side to a lot of things.

1502
01:57:44.800 --> 01:57:49.079
And also something that I didn't know would happen is

1503
01:57:49.680 --> 01:57:51.279
I was getting a lot of people over the years

1504
01:57:51.279 --> 01:57:54.640
telling me that I'm company that actually it's a friendly

1505
01:57:54.800 --> 01:57:57.840
voice to listen to. It's like, you get to know me,

1506
01:57:58.640 --> 01:58:02.800
and do you to listen to me every day? And

1507
01:58:02.880 --> 01:58:10.439
it's something that some people look forward to. So that's

1508
01:58:10.000 --> 01:58:18.640
in some ways that's probably more of a compliment. And yeah,

1509
01:58:19.039 --> 01:58:22.640
I mean that's partly why there's a couple of if

1510
01:58:22.640 --> 01:58:25.840
I see an elderly person, not just elderly, but if

1511
01:58:25.880 --> 01:58:29.239
I see someone in the park, they're on their own

1512
01:58:30.680 --> 01:58:33.800
because generally I only talk to dog walkers because Vinnie

1513
01:58:33.840 --> 01:58:36.439
wants to say low to them. He loves people, but

1514
01:58:36.520 --> 01:58:40.000
he loves dog walkers because they've got treats. There's a

1515
01:58:40.000 --> 01:58:44.279
few dog he says a loo too as well. But

1516
01:58:44.439 --> 01:58:48.039
Vinny wants to say low to everybody. So if the

1517
01:58:48.079 --> 01:58:53.239
person looks okay, some people don't look approachable, to be fair,

1518
01:58:53.600 --> 01:58:58.640
but if the person looks approachable, I'll let Vinnie take

1519
01:58:58.680 --> 01:59:00.359
me up to them and I'll just say, can he

1520
01:59:00.439 --> 01:59:05.239
say hello? He wants to say hello, And no one's

1521
01:59:05.239 --> 01:59:07.479
ever said go away yet. I think I did have

1522
01:59:07.560 --> 01:59:13.439
one person ignore me and just walk on. And but

1523
01:59:13.479 --> 01:59:16.439
it's like as my mom, so you see, had a reason.

1524
01:59:18.479 --> 01:59:23.520
So I and a couple of times. One recently a

1525
01:59:23.680 --> 01:59:30.720
man said that will be my only contact today, so

1526
01:59:30.840 --> 01:59:36.359
thank you. I was like, oh, so I'm avoiding from

1527
01:59:36.359 --> 01:59:40.840
now on and joking. And then I think yesterday or

1528
01:59:40.840 --> 01:59:44.000
the day before that, it was a bloke and a

1529
01:59:44.039 --> 01:59:47.880
man he said, oh, thank you for stopping, thank you

1530
01:59:47.920 --> 01:59:53.399
for talking to me. So these are like people that

1531
01:59:53.439 --> 01:59:56.439
live on the estate. Maybe they don't see anyone. I

1532
01:59:56.479 --> 02:00:03.199
don't know, but Finny absolutely loves people and he knows

1533
02:00:03.239 --> 02:00:07.399
when a person's friendly, because that's when this bloke I

1534
02:00:07.399 --> 02:00:13.199
think yesterday said oh, he just wants to come if

1535
02:00:13.319 --> 02:00:16.439
he must like everyone, I said, no, not necessarily. He

1536
02:00:16.479 --> 02:00:20.119
does love people, but he knows people. There's people he

1537
02:00:20.159 --> 02:00:22.079
doesn't want to go and say lo to. He can

1538
02:00:22.119 --> 02:00:25.760
tell who's friendly, who's not friendly. He knows. I think

1539
02:00:25.800 --> 02:00:31.520
dogs actually do know. They can tell a dog lover

1540
02:00:31.640 --> 02:00:35.039
from someone that isn't a dog lover. Maybe not instantly,

1541
02:00:35.359 --> 02:00:40.399
but you know, there's people that clearly that I kind

1542
02:00:40.399 --> 02:00:43.640
of know that don't like Vinnie, but not don't like him,

1543
02:00:43.640 --> 02:00:45.680
but kind of keep the distance from him. Not really

1544
02:00:45.720 --> 02:00:48.760
into dogs, and he knows that. You know, he gets

1545
02:00:48.800 --> 02:00:51.399
excited to see them, but he doesn't try and jump up,

1546
02:00:51.479 --> 02:00:54.560
he doesn't doesn't really take much notice of them really,

1547
02:00:55.720 --> 02:00:58.159
so he knows. And this bloke was so happy that

1548
02:00:59.199 --> 02:01:01.600
I was telling him that, yeah, he's fussy who he

1549
02:01:01.600 --> 02:01:06.119
says hello to, because he doesn't he knows if someone's

1550
02:01:06.199 --> 02:01:10.920
not friendly. And he seemed to really appreciate that, so

1551
02:01:11.039 --> 02:01:12.760
that was nice. I don't know how I got on

1552
02:01:12.800 --> 02:01:19.000
to that subject. Last question, Brooke Brook Brook Brook, my

1553
02:01:19.000 --> 02:01:23.720
friend Brooke. What is hypnosis and why does it work?

1554
02:01:24.039 --> 02:01:26.960
What are some myths about hypnosis are important to dispel?

1555
02:01:27.560 --> 02:01:32.000
What is your best TOFU recipe? Okay, the last one.

1556
02:01:32.039 --> 02:01:34.119
I don't have one, so I'm going to skip that one.

1557
02:01:34.640 --> 02:01:34.760
Now.

1558
02:01:34.800 --> 02:01:38.800
If you said toffee recipe, I'd say I love anything

1559
02:01:38.800 --> 02:01:41.800
with toffee, especially ones where that I get ended up

1560
02:01:41.840 --> 02:01:47.199
with bits of toffee and my beard scaring the neighbors.

1561
02:01:48.119 --> 02:01:50.119
Would you tell someone though, if you if you were

1562
02:01:50.119 --> 02:01:52.800
talking to someone I'm not talking about a complete stranger,

1563
02:01:52.840 --> 02:01:56.159
but someone that you see regularly, you know, something you

1564
02:01:56.239 --> 02:01:59.000
may see daily, even and you saw they had toffee

1565
02:01:59.039 --> 02:02:03.760
sticking out their beer? Would you mention it to them?

1566
02:02:04.119 --> 02:02:06.840
And there's ways of mentioning it without being rude, isn't

1567
02:02:06.840 --> 02:02:11.560
there is? You know, It's like if I'm going out

1568
02:02:11.560 --> 02:02:14.920
and I've got gravy all down my top and I

1569
02:02:15.079 --> 02:02:18.399
scream on my head like, okay, perhaps we shouldn't mention

1570
02:02:18.520 --> 02:02:22.520
that because there's something going on there, but just a

1571
02:02:22.520 --> 02:02:30.279
little I would have preferred, mind you, something happened yesterday

1572
02:02:30.279 --> 02:02:33.560
and I wasn't particularly pleased with let's talk to my neighbor.

1573
02:02:34.640 --> 02:02:37.560
And I was saying, oh, I wear a hack, so

1574
02:02:37.560 --> 02:02:41.079
I don't like to because I'm I'm a bit conscious

1575
02:02:41.119 --> 02:02:44.680
about my my board patch on the top of my head.

1576
02:02:44.920 --> 02:02:46.279
And he said, what about the one at the front

1577
02:02:46.279 --> 02:02:49.319
of your head? What do you mean? He said, the

1578
02:02:49.359 --> 02:02:51.039
one on the front where you've got a comb over.

1579
02:02:52.960 --> 02:02:55.600
I said, I do not have a comb over. My

1580
02:02:55.680 --> 02:02:58.119
hair is not long enough. I can't even brush my hair.

1581
02:02:58.319 --> 02:03:01.239
It's not long enough to brush. He said, there's none there.

1582
02:03:02.000 --> 02:03:06.399
I said, technically, you're correct, that is probably the reason.

1583
02:03:06.439 --> 02:03:10.840
But from the distance he could see that, like the

1584
02:03:10.840 --> 02:03:17.960
front of the hair is pretty much just disappearing, which means,

1585
02:03:19.479 --> 02:03:24.319
and I really am not pleased to say this, it

1586
02:03:24.560 --> 02:03:29.039
means what I'm going to have is hair around the side,

1587
02:03:30.439 --> 02:03:33.680
and I've already got the ball patch at the back.

1588
02:03:35.000 --> 02:03:44.800
It's filling out on top. There's Yeah, I don't know

1589
02:03:44.800 --> 02:03:49.039
how long it's going to take. Now my decision will

1590
02:03:49.079 --> 02:03:51.359
have to be this if it does, in fact happen.

1591
02:03:51.800 --> 02:03:56.840
So the board patch grows and the one of the

1592
02:03:56.840 --> 02:04:00.600
front kind of grows to the point of eating in

1593
02:04:00.640 --> 02:04:06.199
the middle. What do I do with a straight hair

1594
02:04:06.319 --> 02:04:09.720
the stray hairs? Do? I let them grow really long

1595
02:04:10.199 --> 02:04:16.560
and pretend that that's hair and hold on to that

1596
02:04:16.680 --> 02:04:21.039
because I know people that do that. They literally they

1597
02:04:21.119 --> 02:04:23.680
cherish those hairs, even though there's only like a little

1598
02:04:23.680 --> 02:04:29.359
fuzz now, because it's their hair. They cherish it. They

1599
02:04:30.399 --> 02:04:34.560
it's important to them, regardless of how ridiculous. It might look,

1600
02:04:36.359 --> 02:04:39.880
they love it, they keep it, and I'm now in

1601
02:04:39.880 --> 02:04:42.319
that position where I'm thinking, yeah, I might have to

1602
02:04:42.399 --> 02:04:45.119
keep that, have a little bit of fuzz on top,

1603
02:04:49.039 --> 02:04:52.000
like a little brillo pad. I don't know, just I

1604
02:04:52.039 --> 02:04:56.760
don't know what. Because I used to have an attitude

1605
02:04:56.760 --> 02:04:59.399
when I was younger just to shave my head. I

1606
02:04:59.439 --> 02:05:02.800
still do sha my head sometimes, like it doesn't matter.

1607
02:05:02.920 --> 02:05:04.920
If I ever go bored, it will not affect me

1608
02:05:04.960 --> 02:05:07.560
at all, because I've walked around for years with a

1609
02:05:07.640 --> 02:05:15.439
bald head. Being bored would not affect me at all. Now,

1610
02:05:15.439 --> 02:05:17.800
it's easy to say that when you're not baled, when

1611
02:05:17.800 --> 02:05:22.439
you're not naturally baled. So shaving my head bald is

1612
02:05:22.479 --> 02:05:26.600
a lot different from actually not need not needing to

1613
02:05:26.640 --> 02:05:35.399
save my head bald because it's doing it naturally. Ah. Yeah,

1614
02:05:35.520 --> 02:05:39.000
I didn't realize that, you know what, It's not as

1615
02:05:39.920 --> 02:05:48.920
non affecting me as I thought. And Brooke might be

1616
02:05:48.960 --> 02:05:51.239
listening to this thinking what's that got to do with

1617
02:05:51.279 --> 02:05:57.159
how hypnosis works? Okay, I'll go back to that hypnosis.

1618
02:05:57.920 --> 02:06:00.279
All I can do is my understanding. Because I've so

1619
02:06:00.359 --> 02:06:03.000
many books, I know what the theories are, all the

1620
02:06:03.079 --> 02:06:08.239
different theories and like the myths about hypnosis. What's important

1621
02:06:08.279 --> 02:06:14.760
to dispel Even now I see on Facebook and places

1622
02:06:15.279 --> 02:06:22.399
the idea hypnosis if you it's like it's somehow harmful

1623
02:06:23.119 --> 02:06:26.239
given away control to someone and they can do make

1624
02:06:26.279 --> 02:06:28.079
you do whatever they want you to do, and it's

1625
02:06:28.640 --> 02:06:33.840
it's not true. It's really not. It's it's not how

1626
02:06:33.880 --> 02:06:39.640
it works. If I mean, maybe there's a degree of

1627
02:06:40.680 --> 02:06:44.640
I suppose if you was hypnotizing someone every day and

1628
02:06:45.239 --> 02:06:47.520
you wanted to, you know, you could sort of play

1629
02:06:47.560 --> 02:06:52.439
around of it and have fun with it. But ultimately

1630
02:06:55.199 --> 02:07:00.680
I can't just control someone completely. I don't think maybe

1631
02:07:00.680 --> 02:07:07.840
some people can. I don't have that. I mean, everyone's manipulatively, manipuitaable, maniputable,

1632
02:07:09.479 --> 02:07:13.960
able to be manipulated, and as people were public we are.

1633
02:07:14.039 --> 02:07:18.439
That's why as adverts on TV constantly, everyone's being at

1634
02:07:18.520 --> 02:07:21.640
least they're trying to manipulate us. And that is in

1635
02:07:21.720 --> 02:07:24.720
no way a conspiracy thing. It's just a factual thing.

1636
02:07:25.760 --> 02:07:30.720
And hypnosis has been used in advertising. It's one of

1637
02:07:30.720 --> 02:07:37.800
the first things that was used for Like generally hypnosis

1638
02:07:37.800 --> 02:07:40.720
are used for advertising because they knew that it worked,

1639
02:07:41.239 --> 02:07:45.119
they knew that they wanted to advertise in this manipulation

1640
02:07:45.479 --> 02:07:47.840
to try and get you to buy a product or

1641
02:07:47.920 --> 02:07:53.239
to think a certain way. So yeah, it works. That

1642
02:07:53.359 --> 02:08:01.920
stuff works. It's I don't know he hypnosis some of

1643
02:08:01.960 --> 02:08:06.199
the myths with it. I would say, I think it's

1644
02:08:06.199 --> 02:08:10.640
a standard thing. Some people think that the hypnotists will

1645
02:08:10.640 --> 02:08:15.479
get them to do silly things, like like with stage hypnosis.

1646
02:08:16.079 --> 02:08:25.359
But that's not the case. The idea that maybe you'd

1647
02:08:25.359 --> 02:08:29.000
be under you being hypnosis and you're completely unconscious and

1648
02:08:29.079 --> 02:08:32.159
you don't know anything that's going on. I would say

1649
02:08:32.159 --> 02:08:38.039
that's not the case either, because the fact that the

1650
02:08:38.159 --> 02:08:43.520
unconscious you might be consciously unaware the unconsciously aware. But

1651
02:08:44.079 --> 02:08:46.199
you've got to remember, your unconscious is looking out for

1652
02:08:46.239 --> 02:08:50.560
you all the time. That's the thing that pulls your

1653
02:08:50.640 --> 02:08:53.560
hand back when it touches a hot surface. Not your

1654
02:08:53.600 --> 02:08:59.680
conscious mind. Your unconscious, your automatic reflexes is looking out

1655
02:08:59.720 --> 02:09:03.600
for you. It's not your conscious mind that seize that

1656
02:09:03.680 --> 02:09:07.720
speeding car coming as you're walking. You're about to walk

1657
02:09:07.760 --> 02:09:12.359
out on the road between two cars. You're about to

1658
02:09:12.399 --> 02:09:16.079
walk out. You don't see it, but you move back

1659
02:09:17.680 --> 02:09:22.079
like in an instant. It's not your conscious minded does

1660
02:09:22.079 --> 02:09:25.560
that because as your conscious minded does that you'd get

1661
02:09:25.600 --> 02:09:30.399
hit by the car. Our conscious minds don't move that quickly.

1662
02:09:31.439 --> 02:09:35.119
So your unconscious mind or your subconscious mind, or whatever

1663
02:09:35.119 --> 02:09:41.520
you want to call it, I call it unconscious because

1664
02:09:41.520 --> 02:09:43.880
we're not really conscious of it, that's all. It's not

1665
02:09:43.960 --> 02:09:51.199
unconscious like being asleep. I like to believe it's looking

1666
02:09:51.199 --> 02:09:58.359
out for us, has our best interest at heart. But

1667
02:09:58.560 --> 02:10:01.199
when it comes to hypnosis, I suppose, going back to

1668
02:10:01.560 --> 02:10:04.920
theory and how it works, it doesn't always know what's right.

1669
02:10:07.239 --> 02:10:09.159
It can see if the car's coming towards us that

1670
02:10:09.760 --> 02:10:11.039
the right thing is to get out of the way.

1671
02:10:11.560 --> 02:10:13.920
You put your hand on hot stove, you take it away,

1672
02:10:13.960 --> 02:10:18.239
it's the right thing. Things like that. Protecting our bodies

1673
02:10:19.479 --> 02:10:28.640
is standard but sometimes but when it comes to things

1674
02:10:28.680 --> 02:10:33.520
like phobias and being worried about things and stuff like that,

1675
02:10:33.880 --> 02:10:37.760
then the unconscious mind doesn't always know. It needs help,

1676
02:10:38.479 --> 02:10:43.119
needs us to let it know what's I mean. You

1677
02:10:43.119 --> 02:10:45.479
could say in a way like a computer, but programming

1678
02:10:45.680 --> 02:10:51.239
it needs guidance, needs supervision. So the unconscious mind just

1679
02:10:51.279 --> 02:10:54.680
needs to be It needs us to let it know

1680
02:10:55.640 --> 02:11:02.199
what it needs. And I think we need to be

1681
02:11:02.319 --> 02:11:06.399
quite specific as well. And there's different ways you can

1682
02:11:06.439 --> 02:11:12.000
do that just by you know, you can do affirmations,

1683
02:11:12.039 --> 02:11:15.159
you can do hypnosis, you can do all this stuff.

1684
02:11:15.159 --> 02:11:19.520
But you could also just just live the life. So

1685
02:11:19.640 --> 02:11:28.439
Brooke for example, and Brook, you're living the life. You're

1686
02:11:28.479 --> 02:11:32.359
doing what you do helping people have had strokes, and

1687
02:11:35.199 --> 02:11:38.439
you know you're living. If you live the life do

1688
02:11:38.479 --> 02:11:42.319
you want to live, your unconscious mind helps you to

1689
02:11:42.399 --> 02:11:46.520
continue to live the life you live. So if you're

1690
02:11:46.800 --> 02:11:55.159
thinking positive things, your unconscious mind is basically hearing that, like, oh,

1691
02:11:55.239 --> 02:11:58.680
you want to you want to be positive, you want

1692
02:11:58.720 --> 02:12:04.279
to think more more positive thoughts. If you've got kind

1693
02:12:04.319 --> 02:12:06.439
of love in your heart and you're thinking about people

1694
02:12:06.479 --> 02:12:11.279
that you care about, your unconscious mind realize that and

1695
02:12:11.279 --> 02:12:16.680
if you need more of that. So our unconscious mind's

1696
02:12:16.720 --> 02:12:20.840
always listening to our thoughts. So what we say to

1697
02:12:20.880 --> 02:12:26.880
ourselves is hugely important. I mean, technically you say that's

1698
02:12:26.920 --> 02:12:30.359
not hypnosis, it's just the brain, it's the mind, So yeah,

1699
02:12:30.439 --> 02:12:33.319
fair enough, but it's still part of that whole thing.

1700
02:12:34.359 --> 02:12:36.640
You get what you think about, You get more of

1701
02:12:36.720 --> 02:12:40.680
what you think about. We come what we think about,

1702
02:12:42.520 --> 02:12:50.399
and there's so many examples of this around us. You

1703
02:12:50.439 --> 02:12:55.680
can see it. If you know someone that's constantly complaining,

1704
02:12:56.560 --> 02:13:07.000
like constantly, you can see even in their face, their behavior,

1705
02:13:08.000 --> 02:13:13.239
their interactions, you can see how they even their voice,

1706
02:13:13.319 --> 02:13:20.640
even their health is affected by that negativity, by that

1707
02:13:20.800 --> 02:13:32.359
internal looking at things in a negative way. So even

1708
02:13:32.439 --> 02:13:35.520
I guess because some people, some of the funniest people

1709
02:13:36.399 --> 02:13:42.560
can be really negative, like proper funny. But then some

1710
02:13:42.600 --> 02:13:47.680
of those people are not very happy. So it's one

1711
02:13:47.680 --> 02:13:50.760
of those things. What do you focus on? We get

1712
02:13:50.800 --> 02:13:56.079
what we focus on, and it's not like an instant thing,

1713
02:13:59.439 --> 02:14:02.199
but it's it's kind of like it works in different ways,

1714
02:14:02.399 --> 02:14:04.600
so you get what we get what we focus on.

1715
02:14:04.680 --> 02:14:09.000
So let's say itchy bum Let's say I'll focused on

1716
02:14:09.039 --> 02:14:14.760
having an itchy bumb. It it gets itcher. That's actually a

1717
02:14:14.800 --> 02:14:17.960
good example, you know, if you're kind of thinking of too,

1718
02:14:18.199 --> 02:14:20.760
and it works with the unconscious mind. It doesn't understand

1719
02:14:21.399 --> 02:14:25.119
negative and positive. Really, it's just focus on what you're

1720
02:14:25.159 --> 02:14:30.560
thinking about. So if you're thinking, oh, I don't want

1721
02:14:30.600 --> 02:14:33.319
to have that itch in the bottom of my foot.

1722
02:14:35.039 --> 02:14:36.720
I don't want to have that itch in the bottom

1723
02:14:36.760 --> 02:14:39.079
of my foot, all your unconscious mind is really going

1724
02:14:39.119 --> 02:14:42.119
to get from that is focus on the itch in

1725
02:14:42.199 --> 02:14:47.600
your foot, just going to focus on it. So if

1726
02:14:47.640 --> 02:14:49.640
you put in a different language, I like my foot

1727
02:14:49.640 --> 02:14:54.479
to feel relaxed and calm, and you know, by imagining

1728
02:14:54.520 --> 02:15:02.079
that that might change it that way. And also our

1729
02:15:02.159 --> 02:15:05.039
brains don't know that. And this is the scientists say this.

1730
02:15:05.960 --> 02:15:09.079
Our brains don't know the difference between imagined and real

1731
02:15:09.880 --> 02:15:16.239
in a sense of if we imagine feeling relaxed, lying

1732
02:15:16.279 --> 02:15:20.800
on a beach, on a hammock or whatever, and actually

1733
02:15:20.840 --> 02:15:26.399
doing it, we have the same physiological effect on our

1734
02:15:26.439 --> 02:15:29.279
bodies and on our minds as if we were actually there.

1735
02:15:31.359 --> 02:15:33.239
I'm not saying that you can get sun tanned. I'm

1736
02:15:33.279 --> 02:15:38.800
just you know, generally, our unconscious mind or our mind,

1737
02:15:38.840 --> 02:15:43.159
our brain doesn't know the difference. And I think that's

1738
02:15:43.239 --> 02:15:51.479
quite interesting actually. So my motto, it is not my motto.

1739
02:15:52.279 --> 02:15:57.000
I took it from eld Nightingale, but it has become

1740
02:15:57.000 --> 02:16:01.079
what we think about. And I try and remember that

1741
02:16:01.159 --> 02:16:07.960
every single day. Become what we think about. So if

1742
02:16:07.960 --> 02:16:14.600
you think about what do you want to become. If

1743
02:16:14.640 --> 02:16:19.600
someone wants to stay let's say someone wants to stay unhappy,

1744
02:16:20.279 --> 02:16:24.680
then just think about unhappy things. It's kind of basic, really,

1745
02:16:25.279 --> 02:16:27.680
and I don't think anyone could argue that that would

1746
02:16:28.199 --> 02:16:32.959
probably help the person to feel rubbish inside if that's

1747
02:16:33.000 --> 02:16:38.760
all they focus on. And that's why I don't watch

1748
02:16:40.479 --> 02:16:44.000
these like true crime things. I'm not knocking anyone does,

1749
02:16:44.079 --> 02:16:47.239
but I just don't find it it's useful for me

1750
02:16:48.639 --> 02:16:52.680
my mental states. It's really interesting, that's for sure. I

1751
02:16:52.719 --> 02:16:57.079
know that I understand why people get caught up in it,

1752
02:16:57.559 --> 02:16:59.879
especially the ones where you see all the film footage

1753
02:17:00.120 --> 02:17:04.360
the police arresting the people and any interrogation makes me

1754
02:17:04.399 --> 02:17:07.639
want to watch it now. But I've spent two hours

1755
02:17:07.639 --> 02:17:12.920
watching one of them, and it's so fascinating, but at

1756
02:17:12.920 --> 02:17:19.600
the same time, I don't feel good afterwards. It's, you know,

1757
02:17:19.719 --> 02:17:25.360
there's been so much horrible stuff I've just ingested. That's

1758
02:17:26.479 --> 02:17:32.559
pretty much poison. Really think about it, poison for the mind, negativity.

1759
02:17:32.760 --> 02:17:37.399
So yeah, we become what we think about. So I

1760
02:17:37.520 --> 02:17:44.680
try and remember that every day and try to focus.

1761
02:17:45.319 --> 02:17:51.120
I focus on doing these recordings helping people, and that's

1762
02:17:51.200 --> 02:17:59.159
my life. That is everything to me. So that's kind

1763
02:17:59.200 --> 02:18:02.600
of so I've can't I don't know if I have,

1764
02:18:02.760 --> 02:18:06.639
but I feel like I've become this in a way.

1765
02:18:09.040 --> 02:18:14.399
But with moods with an unstable personality. But I've become

1766
02:18:17.319 --> 02:18:20.879
this person that I wanted to become, or I've just

1767
02:18:20.959 --> 02:18:25.520
become me. In some ways, I feel like I've found

1768
02:18:25.639 --> 02:18:30.959
my voice. It took a long time, but I seem

1769
02:18:31.040 --> 02:18:33.559
to have found my voice since I've been doing these.

1770
02:18:33.680 --> 02:18:39.239
Let me avoid the sleeps recordings. I do feel like

1771
02:18:39.319 --> 02:18:44.280
I've found me and I can just be me. And

1772
02:18:44.360 --> 02:18:48.280
I know that I do censor myself a lot sometimes

1773
02:18:48.479 --> 02:18:50.760
when I do these, I think because they will not

1774
02:18:50.840 --> 02:18:55.959
upset anyone, and I try not to swear, and my

1775
02:18:56.079 --> 02:18:59.479
natural would probably be to swear a little bit. And

1776
02:19:00.040 --> 02:19:09.840
but it's still ultimately it's just me being me. And

1777
02:19:09.959 --> 02:19:12.520
in a way, he can't really be anything more than ourselves,

1778
02:19:12.559 --> 02:19:16.399
can we. There's got to come a point, especially at

1779
02:19:16.440 --> 02:19:18.760
my age, I was like, maybe I am good enough.

1780
02:19:23.239 --> 02:19:26.760
I may be better. I may become better. I just

1781
02:19:26.799 --> 02:19:29.200
remember years ago I was in the Buddhist center and

1782
02:19:29.959 --> 02:19:33.399
I said to someone because they pointed out one of

1783
02:19:33.399 --> 02:19:38.040
my flaws, which is sometimes Buddhists have a tendency to do,

1784
02:19:38.520 --> 02:19:43.479
especially when I'm around them, and I said, well, I'm

1785
02:19:43.520 --> 02:19:46.719
not I'm not doing this. I don't want to be perfect.

1786
02:19:47.799 --> 02:19:49.639
And he was confused by that, said, what do you

1787
02:19:49.719 --> 02:19:52.280
mean he don't want to be perfect? I said, I know't.

1788
02:19:52.319 --> 02:19:56.760
I'm not trying to be perfect, and that when against

1789
02:19:56.840 --> 02:20:01.639
how he was I guess attempting his life to be perfect.

1790
02:20:03.639 --> 02:20:05.600
I don't want to be I never want to be perfect.

1791
02:20:07.799 --> 02:20:12.719
I just wanted to be better. I wanted to be

1792
02:20:14.479 --> 02:20:18.239
I want to leave something, you know, I want to

1793
02:20:18.280 --> 02:20:25.799
be useful. I didn't want to be useful, not when

1794
02:20:25.840 --> 02:20:29.239
I was in my twenties, but since the age of

1795
02:20:30.520 --> 02:20:32.520
probably much since two thousand and six, when I was

1796
02:20:32.520 --> 02:20:38.319
thirty five, although I started before then, but I didn't

1797
02:20:38.360 --> 02:20:41.719
really manage to do much until till two thousand and six.

1798
02:20:43.760 --> 02:20:47.719
I wanted to help people, but knowing that I'm not

1799
02:20:48.120 --> 02:20:53.479
really I don't. It's a struggle being around people for

1800
02:20:53.559 --> 02:20:58.159
any length of time. Generally, not all people I meet

1801
02:20:58.159 --> 02:21:00.280
the occasion of person that I can spend time, but

1802
02:21:02.159 --> 02:21:07.639
it's yeah, it I had to make that decision, Like,

1803
02:21:07.799 --> 02:21:11.280
you know what, I can help one person, I could

1804
02:21:11.280 --> 02:21:14.680
spend fifty minutes or four hours, and I can help

1805
02:21:14.840 --> 02:21:20.399
four people in that four hours, Or I can make

1806
02:21:20.399 --> 02:21:29.319
a recording online and help hundreds of people with just

1807
02:21:29.399 --> 02:21:35.520
one recording uploaded to YouTube or Facebook or wherever I

1808
02:21:35.559 --> 02:21:39.239
was doing it, whatever podcast host I was using at

1809
02:21:39.239 --> 02:21:50.079
that time, and MySpace to start with. And then when

1810
02:21:50.079 --> 02:21:56.639
the videos were getting thousands of yours, it made sense

1811
02:21:56.760 --> 02:21:59.559
that instead of doing a group session where I was

1812
02:21:59.600 --> 02:22:07.040
seeing maybe twelve sometimes there's eighteen people, I can reach

1813
02:22:07.079 --> 02:22:18.120
a thousand people or five hundred people. And that's a

1814
02:22:18.200 --> 02:22:24.600
large audience. I mean a down between a thousand and

1815
02:22:24.680 --> 02:22:37.600
two thousand people. That's a big old theater. So that's

1816
02:22:37.600 --> 02:22:49.040
pretty much why I went in this direction. What is hypnosis?

1817
02:22:49.040 --> 02:22:50.879
How does it work? I don't know if I've really

1818
02:22:50.879 --> 02:22:55.479
answered that question, but I've kind of given a my

1819
02:22:55.719 --> 02:22:59.079
version of what I think. It's more than just having

1820
02:22:59.159 --> 02:23:02.319
someone talk to you you and get you to relax

1821
02:23:02.399 --> 02:23:10.040
and focus on this and whatever. It's It's about thoughts,

1822
02:23:10.079 --> 02:23:14.120
it's about attitude. It's about expectation. What do you believe

1823
02:23:14.159 --> 02:23:18.600
is going to happen? Belief is so strong, so powerful,

1824
02:23:20.639 --> 02:23:24.360
like the most powerful thing. What you expect to happen,

1825
02:23:25.239 --> 02:23:28.559
what you really expect to happen, has such an impact

1826
02:23:29.159 --> 02:23:34.920
on what does actually happen. So expect things to go well,

1827
02:23:37.440 --> 02:23:42.600
you know, just an idea, right the noisy people are

1828
02:23:42.600 --> 02:23:47.479
back in the garden and so they clearly you don't

1829
02:23:47.520 --> 02:23:50.399
have a break at Easter. Bless them. So I'm going

1830
02:23:50.479 --> 02:23:53.760
to go, so thank you for listening. Remember to be

1831
02:23:53.840 --> 02:23:56.239
kind to yourself because you do deserve to be happy.

1832
02:23:57.000 --> 02:24:01.520
Thank you to Anne, Maria, Georgie, Hillary, Michelle and Brooke

1833
