on I did let me boy you pain away Number

20
00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:45.400
thirty eight today called Babling on and I made a

21
00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:50.000
picture which it took me a while to put together.

22
00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:52.280
I mean I used AI to do it, but it

23
00:02:52.360 --> 00:02:55.680
took a while because I had to keep making changes

24
00:02:55.759 --> 00:02:59.199
to make it how I wanted it to be. And

25
00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:04.199
it it's a picture of someone with really big teeth.

26
00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:09.479
It's a picture of me but with really big teeth,

27
00:03:10.759 --> 00:03:14.400
babbling on tatooed on my forehead let me boil your

28
00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:17.199
pain away number thirty eight to tattooed on my neck,

29
00:03:18.199 --> 00:03:23.520
a white string vest and massive ears with a big

30
00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:29.199
mouth on the ear lobes on each ear lobe. Basically,

31
00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:34.759
what it's supposed to represent is me talking NonStop, you know,

32
00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:41.560
and with the ears instead of listening, they're talking. See

33
00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:50.000
Sebastian has replied, he's it's done. Ad, It's done. Got

34
00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:59.719
an image of me and him mixed together, which concerns

35
00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:07.439
me in ways that I cannot express, really concerned me.

36
00:04:10.919 --> 00:04:13.120
So cool, So I want to go back to let

37
00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:18.560
me go Jesson's new Lands Boring Group. There is a

38
00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:28.279
link on my website which would take you directly to

39
00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:32.439
Jason Newland's boring group, and it's a little banner at

40
00:04:32.439 --> 00:04:37.920
the top of the page. So I've had a couple

41
00:04:37.920 --> 00:04:41.879
of comments on the image as well, Hope, but that's

42
00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:50.199
very disconcerting, and Mike wrote, disturbing is the word that

43
00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:53.959
came to mind to me. So that's good and glad

44
00:04:54.000 --> 00:05:03.480
you all enjoyed my image. It's h It's just an image.

45
00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:11.800
It's also I'm just gonna focus on yesterday's let me

46
00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:14.600
Buoy to sleep to offer you in twenty twenty five

47
00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:19.800
iPad error, it was called, and there's a picture of

48
00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:25.560
iPod iPad not working on the image. So I had

49
00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:29.720
a couple of people ask me, Tammy fell asleep deeply

50
00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:32.519
to this one last night. Thank you very much. Cool,

51
00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:37.680
Thank you Tammy. That's groovy. And I Hope said, I

52
00:05:37.680 --> 00:05:41.439
hope it's not your iPad that's not working. It's not,

53
00:05:42.519 --> 00:05:47.879
thanks Hope, it's it was my iPad. But it's fixed now.

54
00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:54.879
So that's all all sorted. Took me hours and hours

55
00:05:55.720 --> 00:06:01.720
to fix it, but god it done eventually. Thankful. It

56
00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:12.160
was a very very time consuming little adventure. So before

57
00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:16.959
I do the questions, I've only got four questions, well

58
00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:20.360
three plus an added on one to one of them.

59
00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:24.839
I left it quite late before I posted the you know,

60
00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:28.959
any questions for tomorrow's Q and a Friday. I normally

61
00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:34.639
post a request for questions on a Wednesday, and I

62
00:06:34.680 --> 00:06:38.160
think I posted this on a Thursday, well yesterday, but

63
00:06:38.199 --> 00:06:45.399
it wasn't even yeah, it wasn't like early in the

64
00:06:45.480 --> 00:06:52.279
day either, probably at night, oh twenty three hours ago,

65
00:06:52.480 --> 00:06:57.800
so I posted, like, I don't know, nearly half past

66
00:06:57.959 --> 00:07:08.160
nine today evening. It's been very very warm today, and

67
00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:14.199
it's warm now now. It's really rarely, very rare. Is

68
00:07:14.199 --> 00:07:19.639
it warm inside? My flat in the summer gets warm

69
00:07:19.639 --> 00:07:21.839
in the winter with the heating on. In the summer

70
00:07:22.160 --> 00:07:29.920
doesn't normally get particularly warm. If anything, it's warmer outside

71
00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:37.639
than inside is I don't know. It's a bit sheltered

72
00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:41.639
because there a big tree that's blocking the sun and stuff.

73
00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:44.639
Not blocking the sun for the whole world, but you know,

74
00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:52.560
just this window, And how can you hear Viny's chomping

75
00:07:52.600 --> 00:08:03.040
away at some bony thing. I think he is, yeah,

76
00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:12.079
he is, but tonight it's calling down now. But an

77
00:08:12.120 --> 00:08:14.920
hour ago or half an hour ago, it was like, oh,

78
00:08:15.160 --> 00:08:26.560
I was sweating a little bit. What have I done today?

79
00:08:27.839 --> 00:08:32.080
I haven't really done a lot. I made the recording earlier,

80
00:08:32.960 --> 00:08:35.360
did all the editing and all that stuff and uploaded

81
00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:39.279
that made an image that took ages to do. The

82
00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:45.559
image because I didn't really what I really wanted would

83
00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:48.600
probably would have been worse or worse than me. It's

84
00:08:48.679 --> 00:08:54.840
just like a stop frame is it called stop frame

85
00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:59.440
image of me just talking non stop? But I might

86
00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:02.840
have ended up looking like the alien monster, so perhaps

87
00:09:02.879 --> 00:09:07.519
that wouldn't have been good, or an extra mouth again

88
00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:13.519
like the alien. So yeah, I mean the initial image

89
00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:18.600
I had had it had mouths for it. The eyes

90
00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:25.000
were also mouths, but my neighbor I popped in and

91
00:09:25.000 --> 00:09:29.159
saw them and thought, he said, no, you should change that.

92
00:09:29.159 --> 00:09:31.799
That looks a bit a little bit, grew a little bit,

93
00:09:34.600 --> 00:09:37.639
and admittedly maybe the one I did is you know,

94
00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:40.159
I don't make images to distress people, So if you're

95
00:09:40.200 --> 00:09:44.600
anyone who's truly distressing, don't look at it. I guess

96
00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:49.159
you know I don't. I did it more than thought

97
00:09:49.159 --> 00:09:54.200
it'd be quite funny. Represented someone that doesn't listen but

98
00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:58.360
just keeps talking, so you know that that was the representation.

99
00:09:59.080 --> 00:10:04.360
And also with the tattoos, I'm trying to find a

100
00:10:04.399 --> 00:10:09.039
way to put text into the image, but the whole

101
00:10:09.080 --> 00:10:12.080
image was the face, so there's no room to add

102
00:10:12.120 --> 00:10:16.559
to the title of the recording. So I thought the

103
00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:20.120
only space I had was really the forehead to start with,

104
00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:22.240
so I post, you know, so I put a tattoo

105
00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:26.919
over the title of the recording. I don't know what

106
00:10:27.000 --> 00:10:29.799
Vinnin's trying to do. What are you trying to do? Vinny,

107
00:10:30.759 --> 00:10:34.600
He's hunting, trying to find something. He's found something to

108
00:10:34.639 --> 00:10:40.879
eat off the city and then what it was put

109
00:10:40.919 --> 00:10:51.480
a bit of a biscuit or something and got no

110
00:10:51.639 --> 00:10:58.919
idea what it is. He's always up to something. Yeah,

111
00:10:59.039 --> 00:11:01.559
and then to put the you know, the let me

112
00:11:01.639 --> 00:11:05.000
pull your pain away, there wasn't I wanted to have

113
00:11:05.080 --> 00:11:07.120
it on the T shirt, but there was no room

114
00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:10.600
because the whole picture was kind of the face, so

115
00:11:10.679 --> 00:11:12.919
I had it on the neck. So that's that was

116
00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:20.200
kind of how that came about. But truly, I'm not hope.

117
00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:26.799
It didn't upset anyone really, And so I have questions

118
00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:33.720
from Hope, Michelle, and Ken. So I'm start with Hope

119
00:11:34.279 --> 00:11:40.159
because Hope was first. Ye Hope was first, then Michelle,

120
00:11:40.240 --> 00:11:45.600
then Ken. So Hope asks me, if you could live

121
00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:49.639
in any other country in the world, where would you

122
00:11:50.200 --> 00:11:54.399
like to live. So, as I was talking to you there.

123
00:11:54.559 --> 00:11:57.519
Vinnie was on the city and he turned the television

124
00:11:57.559 --> 00:12:04.679
on by treading onto the remote control. And I was

125
00:12:04.759 --> 00:12:09.679
just plumping myself down and he's he's all chilled out now,

126
00:12:10.080 --> 00:12:13.120
cudding up to me. What is going on with you today?

127
00:12:14.039 --> 00:12:19.039
What is going on? I took him out this morning,

128
00:12:21.440 --> 00:12:24.399
and then I took him out this afternoon. I took

129
00:12:24.440 --> 00:12:26.639
him in the garden this afternoon. Then I took him

130
00:12:26.679 --> 00:12:33.879
out that's seven o'clock into for a walk because it

131
00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:35.600
was a little bit too hot during the day for

132
00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:37.639
him to go out in it. But it was okay

133
00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:42.879
in the garden, and it was a little bit too

134
00:12:42.879 --> 00:12:46.240
hot for me. Really, I didn't really I needed to

135
00:12:46.320 --> 00:12:50.720
have a shower for what went out, and then I

136
00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:54.399
needed a woman I got back as well, Yes they did,

137
00:12:54.960 --> 00:12:58.600
you say, I did. And I'm talking to the vine

138
00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:01.080
there by the way. You think I'm talking to you

139
00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:04.240
like a pet. He talked to us like we're animals.

140
00:13:05.159 --> 00:13:11.840
No I don't, no, I don't. No. You good boys

141
00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:18.639
and girls, Yes you are. You're so good, so well behaved. Yeah.

142
00:13:23.639 --> 00:13:26.120
So I took him out this evening and he was

143
00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:29.320
just plodding along. We were out for probably about an hour,

144
00:13:32.159 --> 00:13:35.600
maybe not an hour, maybe thirty forty minutes. But he

145
00:13:35.720 --> 00:13:42.799
was just walking around the park sniffing. He was that

146
00:13:42.960 --> 00:13:45.720
was it. He had no interest he really doing anything else.

147
00:13:45.759 --> 00:13:50.840
He was just happy sniffing around. And I just followed him,

148
00:13:51.080 --> 00:13:56.559
and he took me around and around and around, didn't you. Ah, Yes,

149
00:13:56.679 --> 00:14:03.200
you did making some weird noises tonight. Right. If I

150
00:14:03.320 --> 00:14:06.039
could live in any other country, in a world, where

151
00:14:06.080 --> 00:14:13.480
would I like to live, on, my neighbor downstairs send

152
00:14:13.519 --> 00:14:17.000
me a text message at eleven o'clock last night. Now,

153
00:14:17.039 --> 00:14:22.120
I was in bed at nine. Getting text messages doesn't

154
00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:24.639
affect me because I have my phone on mute when

155
00:14:24.639 --> 00:14:31.240
I'm in bed. Plus I don't have I don't know

156
00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:33.799
what you call it an alert or an alarm when

157
00:14:33.799 --> 00:14:36.320
there's a text message. I don't even have my phone

158
00:14:36.360 --> 00:14:40.279
on vibrate anymore like I used to when I was younger,

159
00:14:44.120 --> 00:14:49.159
and I can't have my phone on I know that

160
00:14:49.200 --> 00:14:52.440
my neighbor wouldn't phone me at eleven o'clock, but other

161
00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:56.960
people do, usually people wanting to borrow money and stuff

162
00:14:57.000 --> 00:14:59.960
like that. So I can't have my phone on a ring,

163
00:15:00.799 --> 00:15:03.000
which is a little bit annoying because you know, there

164
00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:06.320
might be an emergency. I kind of like to have

165
00:15:06.399 --> 00:15:10.879
my phone on for an emergency. It is on, but

166
00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:14.519
for ring. But what it does do if I'm awake,

167
00:15:15.960 --> 00:15:18.600
So if I'm listening to the radio, or I'm listening

168
00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:21.639
to an audio book, or I'm listening to some music,

169
00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:27.480
like usually classical music, if the phone rings, it cuts

170
00:15:27.519 --> 00:15:31.639
out the music. It doesn't ring, but it just goes quiet.

171
00:15:32.799 --> 00:15:35.000
So I noticed that if I'm awake still, so if

172
00:15:35.039 --> 00:15:38.759
I'm just chilling, lying down, listening to the radio or

173
00:15:38.799 --> 00:15:42.240
listening to whatever, an audio book, but once I'm asleep,

174
00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:46.960
I don't notice it. So I had a text message.

175
00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:50.919
I got up to do we we at. I don't know,

176
00:15:51.000 --> 00:15:55.279
it's probably half eleven. No, no, it's twelve o'clock, twelve

177
00:15:55.279 --> 00:16:01.360
o'clock midnight, went up to do a we wei and

178
00:16:01.519 --> 00:16:09.360
because I saw that, I or did she phone? Maybe

179
00:16:09.399 --> 00:16:17.279
she did phone at eleven? No, she asked me. She

180
00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:22.799
had something about no, are you awake? I think that's

181
00:16:22.799 --> 00:16:26.360
what it was, text me, am I awake? So what

182
00:16:26.440 --> 00:16:29.879
I did is I I texted the back, so I thought, well,

183
00:16:29.919 --> 00:16:32.799
she might be in bed now. Texted the back said

184
00:16:32.799 --> 00:16:37.000
are you okay? And she said yeah, I'm just looking

185
00:16:37.240 --> 00:16:39.919
to put some stuff in your freezer because she got

186
00:16:39.960 --> 00:16:41.799
some stuff and there was not enough room, so she

187
00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:45.159
needed to just borrow my freezer space. That's all it was.

188
00:16:46.039 --> 00:16:47.679
So I phoned her up and I said, we do

189
00:16:47.759 --> 00:16:51.320
it now if you want, but I was half asleep.

190
00:16:51.360 --> 00:16:53.279
I didn't really I don't think I made much sense,

191
00:16:54.559 --> 00:16:56.919
and so I said, well, we can do it tomorrow

192
00:16:56.960 --> 00:16:59.440
if you're not bothered about doing it today. She said,

193
00:16:59.440 --> 00:17:03.159
all right, I'll do it tomorrow. And then I found

194
00:17:03.159 --> 00:17:07.000
her up probably about one o'clock, and she was asleep,

195
00:17:08.160 --> 00:17:13.279
well she was half asleep, but eventually she came up

196
00:17:13.319 --> 00:17:16.680
and we put the stuff in the freezer. So it's

197
00:17:16.720 --> 00:17:19.400
like pastries and things like that. And she gave me

198
00:17:19.440 --> 00:17:23.920
some pastries, some cinnamon sticks. Yum yum, yum, yum yum.

199
00:17:23.920 --> 00:17:27.160
I'm going to be eating them. I mean, that's kind

200
00:17:27.160 --> 00:17:31.720
of what you do with them, isn't it. But yeah, So,

201
00:17:33.799 --> 00:17:38.839
I mean the reason if someone sends me a text

202
00:17:39.000 --> 00:17:42.640
ask me if I'm awake, then I assumed that, especially

203
00:17:42.640 --> 00:17:48.359
if it's late at night, I assume it it's important,

204
00:17:48.440 --> 00:17:56.279
So you know, I would respond to that it wasn't important, important,

205
00:17:56.359 --> 00:18:01.119
but still I think she knows to call me. I

206
00:18:01.200 --> 00:18:03.519
mean she has in the past. It's been a couple

207
00:18:03.559 --> 00:18:08.079
of incidents is where she's had to phone me, which

208
00:18:08.119 --> 00:18:12.000
is fine in an emergency. I'll try and help anyone

209
00:18:12.039 --> 00:18:17.079
out in an emergency. That's just the neighborly thing to do,

210
00:18:17.160 --> 00:18:21.319
isn't it. Really? It's not even It doesn't necessarily make

211
00:18:21.400 --> 00:18:28.799
me a hero. It does a bit, though, doesn't it. No,

212
00:18:28.920 --> 00:18:32.400
I'm not going to sing. Don't worry. So hope asks

213
00:18:32.440 --> 00:18:37.240
me O brilliant a motorbike. I hope he doesn't park

214
00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:42.319
in the garden and start revenue his engine in the garden.

215
00:18:42.480 --> 00:18:46.119
Please don't do that in the garden, especially not at

216
00:18:46.119 --> 00:18:51.039
this time of night. Who would have thought that I'd

217
00:18:51.079 --> 00:18:59.440
think of nine o'clock being late? I mean literally the

218
00:18:59.559 --> 00:19:01.759
latest I go to bed on a Friday and a

219
00:19:01.759 --> 00:19:07.240
Saturday night, well Friday anyway is ten o'clock. So I

220
00:19:07.359 --> 00:19:09.839
like to watch the or listen to the radio a

221
00:19:09.839 --> 00:19:14.799
certain radio show, Nick Abbott Radio Show at ten o'clock

222
00:19:14.880 --> 00:19:19.440
ten to one Saturday. I like to listen to the

223
00:19:19.519 --> 00:19:22.599
same show as well, but if boxing's on, I might

224
00:19:22.640 --> 00:19:26.400
not get to bed till eleven or half eleven. If

225
00:19:26.440 --> 00:19:31.599
the boxing's on in the UK depends how tired I

226
00:19:31.640 --> 00:19:34.640
am because I get up so early in the morning.

227
00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:38.559
So I went to bed at nine yesterday and I

228
00:19:38.599 --> 00:19:42.000
woke up at five, so it'd be full eight hours,

229
00:19:42.279 --> 00:19:49.240
which reminds me. I had a message from Ben. Message

230
00:19:49.240 --> 00:19:55.680
from Ben, Ben. Sorry Ben. I remember seeing this and

231
00:19:55.799 --> 00:19:58.359
think I need to reply, So I'm going to reply

232
00:19:58.440 --> 00:20:04.799
to Ben's message. This is twelve hours ago. Jason went

233
00:20:04.839 --> 00:20:09.400
to bed at seven to listen, and this is to

234
00:20:09.599 --> 00:20:15.160
the Whisper Wednesday. Laughed at the Hello Ben and we

235
00:20:15.799 --> 00:20:18.319
and well, don't even think I made it to seven

236
00:20:18.480 --> 00:20:22.079
ten past seven and work up this morning at seven,

237
00:20:23.000 --> 00:20:27.559
so twelve hours of calm sleep. Whisper Wednesday is definitely

238
00:20:27.680 --> 00:20:32.119
my favorite works every time. It's my favorite. It works

239
00:20:32.160 --> 00:20:37.720
every time. Cool. Thanks Ben. I really appreciate your words

240
00:20:38.240 --> 00:20:42.000
and it's just good to get feedback. So I'm gonna

241
00:20:42.039 --> 00:20:45.240
put thank you, but I'm also saying it to you

242
00:20:45.319 --> 00:20:47.160
on this so whether or not you hear it, I

243
00:20:47.160 --> 00:20:51.119
don't know, but thank you very much. I will try

244
00:20:51.200 --> 00:20:58.759
and do another Whisper Wednesday next week. The problem I've

245
00:20:58.799 --> 00:21:03.000
got with next week always an excuse in there is

246
00:21:03.720 --> 00:21:08.480
one of my neighbors is having a new bathroom and

247
00:21:08.559 --> 00:21:14.920
it starts on Monday or Tuesday next week. It's now Friday.

248
00:21:16.720 --> 00:21:20.799
I don't know quite how much noise it's going to

249
00:21:20.920 --> 00:21:26.240
make because it's it's not underneath me. Like before, the

250
00:21:26.279 --> 00:21:29.680
flat underneath me had the new bathroom before, and that

251
00:21:29.839 --> 00:21:33.799
was that it shipped the whole building. So I'm guessing

252
00:21:33.799 --> 00:21:38.440
this will as well, especially the digging up the bath

253
00:21:38.559 --> 00:21:41.960
and all that stuff there was. Yeah, there's a lot

254
00:21:42.000 --> 00:21:48.599
of a lot of work put into it. It took

255
00:21:48.640 --> 00:21:52.400
a while. If that's the case, then I'm going to

256
00:21:52.440 --> 00:21:56.720
be kind of limited to what i can do. I'd

257
00:21:56.720 --> 00:22:01.119
have to even make the recordings at night or early

258
00:22:01.160 --> 00:22:07.119
early in the morning, but I'll try and adapt around it.

259
00:22:07.119 --> 00:22:09.799
It's only for a couple of weeks. Most of it's

260
00:22:09.839 --> 00:22:13.960
done pretty much after two weeks. A few little bits,

261
00:22:14.039 --> 00:22:18.079
but yeah, it's pretty much finished. It's just that first

262
00:22:18.119 --> 00:22:21.160
bit of work, which takes about two or three days

263
00:22:21.240 --> 00:22:30.400
or four days of solid like noise, and then yeah,

264
00:22:30.920 --> 00:22:33.799
maybe about you know, maybe a week of solid noise

265
00:22:33.880 --> 00:22:37.359
and then then you know, But I don't know how

266
00:22:37.440 --> 00:22:40.960
much I'm going to hear it, because I'm guessing that

267
00:22:41.440 --> 00:22:46.079
downstairs is going to be noisier here in the bathroom

268
00:22:46.119 --> 00:22:50.440
being fitted downstairs. It's going to be noisier than being

269
00:22:50.640 --> 00:22:53.720
across the hallway from me. Because the other flat is

270
00:22:53.759 --> 00:22:57.200
not connected to my flat. It's connected as in the

271
00:22:57.400 --> 00:23:03.200
it's in the building, it's not it's not directly. I've

272
00:23:03.200 --> 00:23:08.160
got no walls connected to it. Does that make sense, Vinnie,

273
00:23:08.480 --> 00:23:14.240
You're so cute. I love stroking you. He's a weird thing.

274
00:23:16.000 --> 00:23:22.039
I'm beginning to think that there's something healing about having

275
00:23:22.839 --> 00:23:30.799
a little doggie because having him sleeping with him and

276
00:23:30.920 --> 00:23:35.279
having him near me and like as such a stroking

277
00:23:35.319 --> 00:23:38.640
him or petting him or whatever the word is. I

278
00:23:38.640 --> 00:23:41.920
think he's a bit hot. You're a bit hot, Vinnie.

279
00:23:42.759 --> 00:23:49.519
And I don't know. I just I feel almost like

280
00:23:49.599 --> 00:23:57.799
maybe there's some kind of healing comes from being with him,

281
00:23:58.200 --> 00:24:03.279
from having him in my life, even when he does

282
00:24:03.319 --> 00:24:07.200
do weird farts like that. I heard it. I didn't

283
00:24:07.200 --> 00:24:11.559
smell it, but I heard it. It does this little

284
00:24:11.680 --> 00:24:15.839
like farts really just a little bit of energy, a

285
00:24:15.880 --> 00:24:21.319
little bit of energy, a little bit of a like that.

286
00:24:22.240 --> 00:24:28.519
Very it's very kind of quiet. So back to the questions.

287
00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:40.240
So I think I've covered any any things. Did I

288
00:24:40.279 --> 00:24:48.039
reply to cat? I did good, right, So back to

289
00:24:48.119 --> 00:24:52.319
the questions. That is a weird picture that I did it.

290
00:24:52.559 --> 00:24:56.440
I'll see if I can do that. It's among my

291
00:24:56.519 --> 00:25:02.440
weirdest ones I've done it so far. I'd tell you.

292
00:25:02.440 --> 00:25:05.799
One of the things is they had a picture of me.

293
00:25:08.000 --> 00:25:10.720
I put it into a chat GPT and asked it

294
00:25:10.839 --> 00:25:14.759
to do a picture of me, you know, talking too much,

295
00:25:16.000 --> 00:25:19.200
and the image it came out, it had me with

296
00:25:19.319 --> 00:25:23.480
my mouth wide open, but my teeth I had, like,

297
00:25:25.200 --> 00:25:28.279
the teeth weren't my teeth. I know it's never going

298
00:25:28.319 --> 00:25:32.720
to be my teeth and the image doesn't really show

299
00:25:32.799 --> 00:25:35.599
my teeth anyway. So it has this image and it

300
00:25:36.440 --> 00:25:42.160
had my teeth. It just looked weird because it wasn't.

301
00:25:44.039 --> 00:25:46.359
I don't know, it's hard to explain. I mean, my

302
00:25:46.400 --> 00:25:48.319
teeth are nothing like the ones in the image now,

303
00:25:48.920 --> 00:25:55.400
because everything in the image is exaggerated except the ears.

304
00:25:55.440 --> 00:26:01.079
The ears are about normal these Yeah, I like that

305
00:26:01.119 --> 00:26:05.799
image makes me laugh. Have you ever thought about what

306
00:26:10.000 --> 00:26:16.599
questions for tomorrow? Okay, let's go to the first question. So,

307
00:26:17.359 --> 00:26:19.400
if you could live in any other country in a world,

308
00:26:19.480 --> 00:26:32.799
where would you like to live? It's very difficult, I

309
00:26:32.880 --> 00:26:34.519
kind of. I think I'm at a point in my

310
00:26:34.599 --> 00:26:44.400
life where I'd like to travel, but not necessarily live

311
00:26:44.799 --> 00:26:48.960
in one place. Maybe have a base, you know, have

312
00:26:49.039 --> 00:26:51.759
a place a base to live in, and this is

313
00:26:51.799 --> 00:27:04.160
as good as any in a way. But travel preferably

314
00:27:04.759 --> 00:27:08.319
train or boat ship. I'd quite you know, I'd quite

315
00:27:08.319 --> 00:27:13.880
like to maybe travel through Europe, go on some cruises

316
00:27:14.559 --> 00:27:18.920
that that appeals to me. I think maybe it's just

317
00:27:19.000 --> 00:27:21.240
my age, and now it's not. Really I've always liked

318
00:27:21.240 --> 00:27:23.359
the idea of going on cruises. I just could never

319
00:27:23.400 --> 00:27:28.480
afford it. I like I like ships. I like the

320
00:27:28.559 --> 00:27:32.319
idea of like you've got everything in one place. It's

321
00:27:33.000 --> 00:27:38.599
it's like a holiday camp, a hotel, and a Leiger Center,

322
00:27:40.319 --> 00:27:43.400
everything just all in one place, on one big, massive

323
00:27:44.279 --> 00:27:48.880
floating thing. So I quite like, yeah, I quite like that.

324
00:27:54.599 --> 00:28:01.160
Things really really hunting through my bits and bobs on

325
00:28:01.279 --> 00:28:04.640
the cety looking for stuff to I don't know what

326
00:28:04.720 --> 00:28:16.200
he's finding. I've lived in Ireland, I've lived in England.

327
00:28:18.559 --> 00:28:20.759
I've never lived in any other countries other than them

328
00:28:20.759 --> 00:28:35.119
two countries. I I think if I went somewhere and

329
00:28:35.160 --> 00:28:38.519
I fell in love with a place, like really fell

330
00:28:38.559 --> 00:28:43.960
in love, you know, just like, Wow, I never want

331
00:28:43.960 --> 00:28:46.480
to leave this place. Then, yeah, that would be a

332
00:28:46.519 --> 00:28:54.440
place to live, that would make sense. I've never been

333
00:28:54.519 --> 00:29:02.480
to a place that I felt that way before. It's yeah,

334
00:29:02.640 --> 00:29:04.799
but then I haven't. Really, I'm not really well traveled.

335
00:29:05.359 --> 00:29:09.319
I've been on a few holidays over my lifetime, a

336
00:29:09.359 --> 00:29:13.680
few places, but not I'm not like a regular holiday person.

337
00:29:15.279 --> 00:29:25.240
I mean before, yeah, I haven't been on I haven't

338
00:29:25.279 --> 00:29:30.200
been away very often. I think it's nearly a twenty

339
00:29:30.279 --> 00:29:34.920
year gap, well fifteen year gap between one going aboard

340
00:29:34.920 --> 00:29:38.680
one time and then going aboard the next time. So

341
00:29:38.759 --> 00:29:40.519
I'm not well traveled. But I've been to a few

342
00:29:40.519 --> 00:29:43.599
different places over the years. It's just I've been alive

343
00:29:43.640 --> 00:29:49.920
a long time. Personshire had joined the Army, I nearly did,

344
00:29:51.079 --> 00:29:53.440
and that would have given me the opportunity to travel

345
00:29:53.559 --> 00:30:02.240
in it. The Navy possibly is a better job, a

346
00:30:02.279 --> 00:30:05.559
better one for traveling, because literally that's part of the job,

347
00:30:05.640 --> 00:30:09.359
isn't it, traveling? But I never fancied the Navy because

348
00:30:09.359 --> 00:30:15.839
I was in the Cecredets and I just didn't. After

349
00:30:15.880 --> 00:30:19.039
being in the Cecredets for a couple of years, I

350
00:30:19.119 --> 00:30:23.720
just didn't. I didn't want anything to do with the secret.

351
00:30:23.799 --> 00:30:27.519
It just didn't appeal to me because I didn't enjoy it.

352
00:30:27.559 --> 00:30:35.319
I didn't enjoy the secrets, so but the Army that

353
00:30:35.519 --> 00:30:39.240
seemed more up my street, and I did apply to join.

354
00:30:39.319 --> 00:30:56.000
I nearly joined in nineteen eighty nineteen eighty seven. I yeah,

355
00:30:56.559 --> 00:30:59.960
I was. I went through the tests and the medic

356
00:31:00.119 --> 00:31:02.759
cause and the basic fitness and then I was going

357
00:31:02.839 --> 00:31:07.680
to go. All I had to do is go to

358
00:31:07.759 --> 00:31:11.720
the training weekend and then that was it for past that.

359
00:31:12.720 --> 00:31:17.440
Then I was accepted into the Army and go to

360
00:31:17.720 --> 00:31:22.319
you know, however meet twelve weeks training or whatever it is.

361
00:31:23.119 --> 00:31:28.920
And you know, I kind of wanted to, But at

362
00:31:28.960 --> 00:31:33.240
the same time, I think I was just scared. I

363
00:31:33.319 --> 00:31:36.680
was scared. I was scared. It wasn't so much. I

364
00:31:36.759 --> 00:31:40.799
wasn't scared of being in the Army, I thought so

365
00:31:40.960 --> 00:31:46.039
much as far as like, I don't think I was

366
00:31:46.079 --> 00:31:48.200
scared of some of the things that some people would

367
00:31:48.200 --> 00:31:52.079
be scared of. For me, it was more being around people,

368
00:31:54.799 --> 00:31:58.400
sleeping in a in a room full of other kids

369
00:31:58.519 --> 00:32:04.200
or other you know, people that I've never really enjoyed

370
00:32:04.200 --> 00:32:11.200
that I didn't want to do that, and the discipline,

371
00:32:11.440 --> 00:32:13.640
being told what to do that I didn't know if

372
00:32:13.640 --> 00:32:19.920
i'd really well, I knew I wouldn't enjoy that. The

373
00:32:19.960 --> 00:32:24.160
physical side of it, I think I'd have been all

374
00:32:24.279 --> 00:32:31.599
right because I was very fit back then. To be

375
00:32:31.839 --> 00:32:36.960
I think most you get most sixteen year olds, so

376
00:32:37.039 --> 00:32:39.960
I was sixteen at the time, so you get most

377
00:32:40.000 --> 00:32:43.559
sixteen year olds. They're fit, aren't they. You know, there's

378
00:32:43.559 --> 00:32:47.359
physically going to be fit because there's sixteen. I know

379
00:32:47.440 --> 00:32:51.039
not everyone is, but I was probably no fitter than

380
00:32:51.079 --> 00:32:55.200
anyone else of my age, to be honest, Unlike now,

381
00:32:59.119 --> 00:33:01.880
I'm probably doing better than some people of my age.

382
00:33:02.559 --> 00:33:05.799
I'm sure i am, but I'm also perhaps not doing

383
00:33:05.799 --> 00:33:09.000
as well as other people of my age. You know,

384
00:33:09.839 --> 00:33:14.160
I've not done a survey. It'd be good to find out, though.

385
00:33:16.079 --> 00:33:18.359
You imagine going back to school and just meeting all

386
00:33:18.359 --> 00:33:20.759
the people that you was at school with in your

387
00:33:20.920 --> 00:33:25.720
year at age like fifty five, because you know, some

388
00:33:25.759 --> 00:33:29.480
people do their I don't know what they call it,

389
00:33:29.640 --> 00:33:33.839
you know, when they get together and after twenty years

390
00:33:33.960 --> 00:33:38.440
or ten years, but after a long long time, because

391
00:33:38.480 --> 00:33:43.000
that'd be like forty nearly forty years. So let's say

392
00:33:43.039 --> 00:33:48.799
next year or the year after, I'll go back. No

393
00:33:48.920 --> 00:33:51.920
next year, BlimE me. So next year it'll be forty

394
00:33:52.000 --> 00:33:56.240
years when I left school. So go back to that

395
00:33:56.359 --> 00:33:59.240
year and see all those people personally. Some of them

396
00:33:59.279 --> 00:34:04.920
won't be around it anymore, I guess, just statistically, and

397
00:34:09.599 --> 00:34:17.159
it would be interesting. I probably wouldn't recognize one of them.

398
00:34:17.519 --> 00:34:21.280
Actually I had no one percause no, yeah, I probably wouldn't.

399
00:34:21.519 --> 00:34:25.960
Actually probably wouldn't recognize because everyone would be bigger, probably

400
00:34:26.360 --> 00:34:30.000
than they were back then, because just people grow them

401
00:34:30.119 --> 00:34:34.760
as a get older, as far as like heavier. I mean,

402
00:34:36.079 --> 00:34:39.000
so even really slim people back then, which I was

403
00:34:39.000 --> 00:34:46.280
one of them, not so slim now. And people that

404
00:34:46.360 --> 00:34:50.400
didn't used to wear glasses perhaps do wear glasses now.

405
00:34:51.039 --> 00:34:54.159
Again I'm kind of one of them, but I did

406
00:34:54.239 --> 00:34:59.960
have glasses for the last couple of months of school.

407
00:35:00.039 --> 00:35:07.679
Else there's going to be people that perhaps you know,

408
00:35:08.599 --> 00:35:12.400
have mobility issues that didn't before. There's going to be

409
00:35:12.440 --> 00:35:18.239
people that don't have hair anymore that did before, or

410
00:35:18.320 --> 00:35:20.519
some people. You know, there's going to be people that

411
00:35:21.199 --> 00:35:23.400
do have hair that didn't before. You know, maybe they

412
00:35:23.519 --> 00:35:28.199
was always used to shave their head. It's going to

413
00:35:28.239 --> 00:35:35.960
be be interesting. But I really think you may be wondering,

414
00:35:36.079 --> 00:35:38.199
why don't you just answer the question, why are you

415
00:35:38.320 --> 00:35:44.239
now talking about some kind of school reunify reunion? And

416
00:35:44.239 --> 00:35:52.360
then they said reuniform reunion. I don't think anyone would

417
00:35:52.400 --> 00:35:57.760
even remember me. I like to think that a couple

418
00:35:57.840 --> 00:36:07.400
of people would remember my name, Neil or Dean a

419
00:36:07.559 --> 00:36:14.559
cut Ivan. Maybe he doesn't. Stephan probably doesn't. I'd like

420
00:36:14.599 --> 00:36:18.039
to think that some of those people will remember me. Vinny,

421
00:36:20.880 --> 00:36:23.679
Horace is he was just on the window sill, and

422
00:36:23.760 --> 00:36:27.440
Vinnie gets very jealous because he knows how close to

423
00:36:27.440 --> 00:36:31.199
me and Horace are. I'll try to explain to Vinnie that,

424
00:36:31.800 --> 00:36:34.239
you know, Horace has been visiting me for ten years

425
00:36:34.280 --> 00:36:37.840
since I lived there. He comes onto the window sill,

426
00:36:39.800 --> 00:36:46.000
says hello and anyone, then he flies off. Vinnie doesn't understand.

427
00:36:46.039 --> 00:36:51.320
It's like he has to be the only one. There

428
00:36:51.360 --> 00:36:53.719
are more people in the world. Vinnie, You're not the

429
00:36:53.719 --> 00:36:59.199
only one. Other people can also love me, and Horace

430
00:36:59.280 --> 00:37:08.599
is one of those. I love Horace the pigeon. If

431
00:37:08.639 --> 00:37:11.039
you could live in any other country in the world,

432
00:37:11.079 --> 00:37:16.159
where would you like to live. I'd like to do

433
00:37:16.199 --> 00:37:21.400
a tester. A tester, just have a little, have a

434
00:37:21.400 --> 00:37:29.559
little look around. I mean, there are benefits to live

435
00:37:29.599 --> 00:37:35.519
in this country. One would be the health service. You know,

436
00:37:35.679 --> 00:37:43.840
I can it's one of pro the greatest things of

437
00:37:43.920 --> 00:37:52.679
this country living in this country, and something that I

438
00:37:52.719 --> 00:37:58.800
guess kind of doesn't need to be appreciated until it's needed.

439
00:37:59.000 --> 00:38:02.760
It's one of those things, is that, and then maybe

440
00:38:02.760 --> 00:38:10.920
it won't be appreciated because you know, the person's too busy,

441
00:38:11.840 --> 00:38:14.079
they're too on well to really or sort of think

442
00:38:14.119 --> 00:38:17.800
about it. But we are very lucky. I know some

443
00:38:17.840 --> 00:38:23.159
people say, yeah, but we pay for it. Yeah, but

444
00:38:25.079 --> 00:38:28.199
you know, it's compared to some places in the world,

445
00:38:28.360 --> 00:38:33.719
it's it might not be as good as service as

446
00:38:33.760 --> 00:38:37.840
far as you know, if you if you're in a

447
00:38:37.880 --> 00:38:41.039
country where you pay, you can pretty much be seen

448
00:38:41.079 --> 00:38:44.960
straight away. I imagine if you've got the money. I

449
00:38:44.960 --> 00:38:49.559
mean in Thailand, if you've got the money, you can

450
00:38:49.599 --> 00:38:54.280
pretty much do anything you want. When it comes to health.

451
00:38:59.800 --> 00:39:02.920
They do everything they can to help you and it's

452
00:39:03.400 --> 00:39:10.519
really top notch, but you can't leave until you pay.

453
00:39:10.639 --> 00:39:13.239
My dad had that in Russia. He had a chest

454
00:39:13.280 --> 00:39:15.639
infection when he was in Russia. This was a long

455
00:39:15.679 --> 00:39:22.760
time ago, ended up in hospital and they so you know,

456
00:39:22.920 --> 00:39:27.760
you can imagine Russian hospitals full at the full works,

457
00:39:27.840 --> 00:39:37.280
and they they did everything to help him. I mean,

458
00:39:37.360 --> 00:39:40.360
I don't know, chest infection. Maybe he had pneumonia, I

459
00:39:40.400 --> 00:39:43.800
don't know, but chest infection. But he was very, really

460
00:39:44.039 --> 00:39:48.039
very poorly and at the end of it, when he

461
00:39:48.039 --> 00:39:52.440
had kind of recovered, they wouldn't let him leave because

462
00:39:52.440 --> 00:39:56.239
he had to pay. And he said, well, the insurance,

463
00:39:56.599 --> 00:39:59.519
I'm insured because he had health insurance. My dad's really

464
00:39:59.519 --> 00:40:03.239
good like that. He's very organized, a little bit different

465
00:40:03.239 --> 00:40:09.639
to me. I'm not so organized. His insurance started to

466
00:40:09.639 --> 00:40:15.079
have arguments with the Russian hospital about they were like

467
00:40:15.159 --> 00:40:19.119
what they will cover, So my dad had to end

468
00:40:19.199 --> 00:40:22.880
up paying out of his own pocket thousands of pounds.

469
00:40:25.239 --> 00:40:26.719
I think he got it back in the end from

470
00:40:26.719 --> 00:40:31.920
the insurance company, but they wouldn't let him leave until

471
00:40:31.920 --> 00:40:38.559
he paid money. So that's quite a difficult situation to

472
00:40:38.599 --> 00:40:45.119
be in. I don't know it probably, I don't know

473
00:40:45.119 --> 00:40:46.440
if it would be like that for the people that

474
00:40:46.559 --> 00:40:55.920
live there, because you know, sometimes I don't even know

475
00:40:55.960 --> 00:40:59.320
how the health system works in a lot of different countries.

476
00:41:00.760 --> 00:41:04.639
But I feel grateful that we've got what we've got here.

477
00:41:06.000 --> 00:41:08.760
The only one of the main issues really nowadays is

478
00:41:09.199 --> 00:41:15.159
the waiting lists, because we're overpopulated, yet we're underpopulated. We're

479
00:41:15.199 --> 00:41:19.360
overpopulated for now, but we're underpopulated for the future. It's

480
00:41:19.400 --> 00:41:22.760
one of those weird ones. Not enough babies being born,

481
00:41:24.480 --> 00:41:32.519
too many people. It's a weird one. It's almost kind

482
00:41:32.519 --> 00:41:34.800
of moving into the age group of people that are

483
00:41:34.800 --> 00:41:40.719
too old, too many of it's a weird one. I

484
00:41:40.840 --> 00:41:43.960
say too many, too many in the sense of not

485
00:41:44.039 --> 00:41:51.760
being able to cope, like you know, the NHS, it's weird.

486
00:41:51.760 --> 00:41:56.679
It's a weird the way it's worked. But then in

487
00:41:56.760 --> 00:42:02.480
thirty years time, if it continues as it is, there

488
00:42:02.519 --> 00:42:07.599
won't be enough people to work in the NHS. There

489
00:42:07.599 --> 00:42:11.159
won't be enough people for the jobs. But then AI

490
00:42:11.800 --> 00:42:14.639
is gonna you know, I don't know. Hopefully it will

491
00:42:14.639 --> 00:42:17.079
work itself out. I'm not going to bother worrying about

492
00:42:17.119 --> 00:42:27.280
it because it will r be ok and wicked wicka woo.

493
00:42:29.159 --> 00:42:35.000
So yeah, what country would it? So? I think really living,

494
00:42:35.440 --> 00:42:38.599
I've always quite liked the idea of living in a cabin,

495
00:42:39.119 --> 00:42:49.119
a wooden cabin or a wood cabin. Yeah, and then

496
00:42:49.119 --> 00:42:51.960
I think that things like little house on the prairie.

497
00:42:53.719 --> 00:42:55.280
But then I'd have to say I'd need a time

498
00:42:55.360 --> 00:42:58.840
machine for that one. And then I think to some

499
00:42:58.960 --> 00:43:05.760
of these movies a little bit, like if you think

500
00:43:05.800 --> 00:43:13.320
of groundhog Day, that's an example where that quaint little town,

501
00:43:14.440 --> 00:43:18.719
everybody knows each other, there's a diner, there's different shops there.

502
00:43:19.880 --> 00:43:24.920
You know, it's kind of it seems like a really

503
00:43:25.039 --> 00:43:28.400
nice place to live. But I don't know if there

504
00:43:28.440 --> 00:43:31.920
really are places like that in America or anywhere else

505
00:43:31.920 --> 00:43:35.239
in the world. I don't know. I've never lived I've

506
00:43:35.280 --> 00:43:41.320
never lived in a place like that where it's nice.

507
00:43:41.920 --> 00:43:44.079
I mean, it's not horrible where I live, but it's

508
00:43:44.119 --> 00:43:49.159
just it's just I don't know. That just seems like

509
00:43:49.280 --> 00:44:02.360
a fantasy, a fantasy, yeah, or maybe. And then I

510
00:44:02.400 --> 00:44:05.320
start thinking, well, if I think it's some of the

511
00:44:05.320 --> 00:44:13.480
people I've met over the years, and I wonder what

512
00:44:13.519 --> 00:44:17.880
if more people are like them in their countries, that

513
00:44:18.039 --> 00:44:22.480
seems like quite a nice place to be. But then

514
00:44:22.519 --> 00:44:26.000
that gets into the old judgment, doesn't it. It's like, well,

515
00:44:26.320 --> 00:44:29.400
I met her, and she was from Denmark, and she

516
00:44:29.599 --> 00:44:34.639
was really cool, and therefore everyone in Denmark must be

517
00:44:34.679 --> 00:44:39.159
really cool and lovely. But then that's just that's the same,

518
00:44:39.280 --> 00:44:42.360
really is if I'd admit some of them Denmark and

519
00:44:43.039 --> 00:44:46.280
I didn't get on with them and I found them difficult.

520
00:44:46.400 --> 00:44:50.320
Therefore what everyone in Denmark is difficult. It's the same mentality,

521
00:44:50.360 --> 00:44:54.440
isn't it. And people are going to be different. They're

522
00:44:54.480 --> 00:44:56.559
not going to not everyone's going to be the same.

523
00:44:58.159 --> 00:45:01.800
And so I kind of i'd like to if I was,

524
00:45:02.320 --> 00:45:04.719
if I was kind of like, I have to move

525
00:45:04.800 --> 00:45:09.320
somewhere else, I have to move to another country. I

526
00:45:09.360 --> 00:45:12.440
can choose anywhere I want, but I have to choose,

527
00:45:14.159 --> 00:45:21.079
and I've got a month to do so I would

528
00:45:21.119 --> 00:45:27.079
have to do some thorough research and really find out

529
00:45:28.480 --> 00:45:32.519
which country is the best. Buried in mind, you know,

530
00:45:32.559 --> 00:45:39.320
as I'm getting older, just for medical stuff in the future, blindly,

531
00:45:43.559 --> 00:45:59.960
but living somewhere where it was friendly, safe, amenities, stuff

532
00:46:00.119 --> 00:46:07.400
to do, because you know, see London. I never in

533
00:46:07.440 --> 00:46:11.679
this country. Just it's a personal opinion, but I think

534
00:46:11.880 --> 00:46:18.440
in some ways it's also true there's nowhere like London

535
00:46:19.320 --> 00:46:24.039
in this country. There's nowhere else where. There is so

536
00:46:24.239 --> 00:46:29.480
much to do if it's condensed, but there's so much

537
00:46:29.519 --> 00:46:32.199
to do if you're willing to go out and if

538
00:46:32.199 --> 00:46:34.519
you can afford it as well, I suppose these days.

539
00:46:37.320 --> 00:46:41.280
Of course, there's other cities there are a lot smaller

540
00:46:42.079 --> 00:46:47.039
as far as the because I think with London it's

541
00:46:47.119 --> 00:46:51.880
because you've got the West End and you've got the city,

542
00:46:52.440 --> 00:46:57.480
and you've got all these places where there's a lot

543
00:46:57.519 --> 00:47:03.320
of stuff. You know, no other city has anything like

544
00:47:03.480 --> 00:47:08.480
Oxford Street and Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square and Trafalgar

545
00:47:08.559 --> 00:47:11.920
Square and all that stuff. I'm not saying it's better,

546
00:47:12.400 --> 00:47:18.480
it's just different and it's more more to do. And

547
00:47:18.679 --> 00:47:23.599
that's what I've heard. Don't don't shoot the messenger, kiss

548
00:47:23.679 --> 00:47:30.199
me passionately, don't kiss the messenger. I was watching EastEnders

549
00:47:30.400 --> 00:47:34.440
and Kat and Alphie couldn't decide whether they were going

550
00:47:34.480 --> 00:47:39.559
to get married or not. And do you tell you

551
00:47:39.599 --> 00:47:42.159
how interesting I was in it? I turned it over.

552
00:47:45.519 --> 00:47:48.800
I just cool with bother's like, this is just they're

553
00:47:48.880 --> 00:47:56.679
just rehashy old storylines from twenty five years ago. Is

554
00:47:56.719 --> 00:48:01.039
I think they've just run out of ideas. I genuinely

555
00:48:01.039 --> 00:48:03.679
think that some of these soaps have just they've been

556
00:48:03.679 --> 00:48:10.000
going for so long now that I think it's time

557
00:48:10.159 --> 00:48:13.800
for a new soap opera to come along, which is

558
00:48:13.880 --> 00:48:24.679
just gonna either be really adult or or maybe as

559
00:48:24.679 --> 00:48:29.840
well as be very funny but also gritty like real life,

560
00:48:30.559 --> 00:48:35.079
but also funny because life is funny, you know. It's

561
00:48:36.039 --> 00:48:38.599
if you in real life, there are people that say

562
00:48:38.639 --> 00:48:47.519
funny things. In east Enders, there isn't Coronation Street. There's

563
00:48:47.519 --> 00:48:50.639
some funny characters in there. They do have some good lines,

564
00:48:51.480 --> 00:49:00.280
so they've definitely got the humor aspect sorted in that dale.

565
00:49:00.320 --> 00:49:02.519
I can't remember anymore. It's been such a long time

566
00:49:02.599 --> 00:49:10.559
since I watched it, and I don't watch Hollyoaks, but

567
00:49:10.639 --> 00:49:14.719
Hollyoaks was supposed to be a more adult and more

568
00:49:14.760 --> 00:49:18.199
adult soap when it came out, and they had all

569
00:49:18.239 --> 00:49:23.079
these like causeious looking young people, and I think that

570
00:49:23.159 --> 00:49:25.519
opened in a shower scene. This was like six in

571
00:49:25.960 --> 00:49:32.519
the evening, and you know it was and it wasn't

572
00:49:32.519 --> 00:49:34.440
you you couldn't see anything, but it was just it

573
00:49:34.480 --> 00:49:38.480
was very provocative, I think for that time of the day. Provocative.

574
00:49:38.639 --> 00:49:47.440
That's a good word, isn't it. It's very productive, prodocative, provocative, provocative.

575
00:49:51.159 --> 00:49:56.360
If I could live anywhere in the country, any other country,

576
00:49:58.280 --> 00:50:02.320
I don't know. It's just I've met people I kind

577
00:50:02.360 --> 00:50:07.719
of go from people that I've met, and every person

578
00:50:07.760 --> 00:50:12.920
I've met from Eastern European countries have always been called

579
00:50:13.519 --> 00:50:18.320
pretty much like pretty much all been really and I've

580
00:50:18.360 --> 00:50:21.320
worked with a lot of them, not recently, but you know,

581
00:50:21.360 --> 00:50:24.599
when I was in London, I worked with a lot

582
00:50:25.679 --> 00:50:31.280
of Polish people, a lot of people from Bosnia, people

583
00:50:31.360 --> 00:50:36.719
from I'm trying to think of different places, but you know,

584
00:50:36.920 --> 00:50:52.000
Eastern European loads, loads of people are from Russia, from Slovakia,

585
00:50:52.119 --> 00:50:55.320
I don't know, different places. And I always got on

586
00:50:55.440 --> 00:51:01.239
with them it particularly while some has to break through

587
00:51:01.679 --> 00:51:07.760
because they weren't. There was one one I didn't really

588
00:51:07.800 --> 00:51:11.960
go on with, but she was ice cold. But I

589
00:51:12.039 --> 00:51:14.840
found out she was having problems anyway, so but she

590
00:51:15.079 --> 00:51:19.239
just she couldn't smile, she didn't have the ability to smile.

591
00:51:20.119 --> 00:51:26.920
But so that that if she'd been the only person

592
00:51:26.960 --> 00:51:32.039
I've met from I don't know Poland, I think maybe

593
00:51:32.039 --> 00:51:37.199
one of those countries in that area, I might have

594
00:51:37.360 --> 00:51:43.239
like gone, all Polish people are miserable, which is a

595
00:51:43.320 --> 00:51:45.880
ridiculous thing to think, Isn't that because people are different,

596
00:51:46.480 --> 00:51:51.960
everyone's different. I think a couple of my favorite people

597
00:51:53.559 --> 00:51:59.719
was a couple of Russian so Russian couple, and I

598
00:51:59.760 --> 00:52:06.599
can remember saying to him, just just slow down Russian. Okay. Anyway,

599
00:52:06.800 --> 00:52:13.440
I'm she said, there's a new waitress, so she's I'm

600
00:52:13.519 --> 00:52:16.360
just chatting her up, just talking to her, but our thoughts.

601
00:52:16.360 --> 00:52:18.559
She was really nice, like just start talking to her.

602
00:52:20.039 --> 00:52:26.719
And the staff started laughing, and I said, well, what

603
00:52:26.760 --> 00:52:29.599
are you laughing for, she said, and they said to me,

604
00:52:30.320 --> 00:52:35.000
her husband's watching you chat his wife up. And I said, well,

605
00:52:35.480 --> 00:52:39.800
I looked over and the husband was doing a washing up.

606
00:52:40.440 --> 00:52:42.400
He was a kitchen porter. I said. It both started

607
00:52:42.400 --> 00:52:45.079
at the same time. She was a waitress who was

608
00:52:45.079 --> 00:52:49.480
a kitchen porter, and he waved at me. I was like, okay.

609
00:52:50.719 --> 00:52:54.960
So it turned out he was a professor of psychology

610
00:52:55.719 --> 00:53:04.599
in Russia. And I don't remember what she did at home.

611
00:53:04.679 --> 00:53:08.599
I can't remember, but he was like, you know, quite

612
00:53:08.679 --> 00:53:14.239
high up. He worked in a university. So they got

613
00:53:14.280 --> 00:53:16.519
permission to go on holiday and to leave, and I

614
00:53:16.519 --> 00:53:19.119
think they had like allowed to be away for three

615
00:53:19.159 --> 00:53:22.519
months something like that. And he said to me, it's

616
00:53:22.599 --> 00:53:25.960
so nice to do a menial job, to do something

617
00:53:26.000 --> 00:53:30.320
that did involve thinking, because I imagine it's spent his

618
00:53:30.440 --> 00:53:35.519
whole probably most of his life in academia, you know.

619
00:53:36.320 --> 00:53:44.880
And he was probably probably bit older than me, but

620
00:53:45.159 --> 00:53:49.639
I'd say he's probably about thirty five, maybe early thirties.

621
00:53:49.679 --> 00:53:55.599
I was late twenties when it turned out. I got

622
00:53:55.599 --> 00:53:58.000
on really well with both of them, got really well

623
00:53:58.000 --> 00:54:01.400
with him, but I also got me really well with her.

624
00:54:02.159 --> 00:54:04.960
It was weird. It was like two different apprenticeship friendships

625
00:54:05.000 --> 00:54:13.159
I had. And he used to come and see me

626
00:54:13.199 --> 00:54:17.920
in the DJ booth after the kitchen would close, and

627
00:54:18.000 --> 00:54:19.760
he'd come to hang out with me, sometimes in a

628
00:54:19.840 --> 00:54:22.440
DJO with which is at the bottom of the club,

629
00:54:24.440 --> 00:54:29.119
and he was so comfortable. He'd start to start talking Russian.

630
00:54:32.679 --> 00:54:35.760
I wouldn't say anything, and they just keep going. I'd

631
00:54:35.840 --> 00:54:41.159
go yeah, and then he realized that, oh, I forgot.

632
00:54:41.280 --> 00:54:44.480
It's like he just completely forgot that I wasn't Russian,

633
00:54:47.320 --> 00:54:55.559
which is weird because I was standing still Russian. It's

634
00:54:56.280 --> 00:55:00.480
tough audience. So that was weird. And then we got

635
00:55:00.519 --> 00:55:02.599
invited to a party, so I went to where he

636
00:55:02.679 --> 00:55:05.760
lived with his wife, and I was staying with friends

637
00:55:05.920 --> 00:55:08.960
or with people. I guess they were friends with them dad,

638
00:55:09.000 --> 00:55:14.800
I don't know. And she ended up getting pregnant while

639
00:55:14.840 --> 00:55:22.159
she was here wasn't me, and so it was I

640
00:55:22.159 --> 00:55:24.079
don't know if that was their plan to come and

641
00:55:24.119 --> 00:55:31.159
get pregnant or just just maybe the relaxing, you know,

642
00:55:31.280 --> 00:55:35.840
maybe just to have a break was what they needed.

643
00:55:35.960 --> 00:55:42.679
But yeah, she got pregnant and she was not like

644
00:55:43.400 --> 00:55:50.199
far gone. Then he started to moan and she wasn't

645
00:55:50.280 --> 00:55:59.320
like you know, she wasn't she wasn't like really a

646
00:55:59.480 --> 00:56:07.880
blind me our great sort of started the the mobike's

647
00:56:08.039 --> 00:56:14.000
been started in the garden. Great, So it's eleven minutes

648
00:56:14.039 --> 00:56:19.760
past nine. I'm like, this a mooney neighbor. And yeah,

649
00:56:19.840 --> 00:56:22.880
is that the police? Can I speak to the Motorbike

650
00:56:22.920 --> 00:56:32.320
Annoying Sounds Department please? So what was I saying? Oh? Yeah,

651
00:56:32.440 --> 00:56:37.440
so yeah, she she got pregnant, and she and then

652
00:56:37.480 --> 00:56:41.119
they went back to Russia. And I think he was

653
00:56:41.159 --> 00:56:43.760
more upset to say goodbye to me than she was.

654
00:56:47.360 --> 00:56:51.159
Like I kind of really connected with him. It was weird.

655
00:56:51.239 --> 00:56:53.360
I don't know why. I like, I really liked both

656
00:56:53.400 --> 00:56:59.880
of them, but there was I don't know, just there's something.

657
00:57:00.239 --> 00:57:04.440
Maybe I think it's probably because he was an academic

658
00:57:04.519 --> 00:57:07.639
and I quite liked the idea and about I quite

659
00:57:07.679 --> 00:57:11.000
like being around clever people. I hope that maybe some

660
00:57:11.039 --> 00:57:13.039
of us, some of it will rub off. I don't know,

661
00:57:13.760 --> 00:57:19.400
and I can be quite I don't know. I think

662
00:57:19.960 --> 00:57:24.320
for me, I've probably thought to myself, I'm being more

663
00:57:24.360 --> 00:57:28.559
sophisticated being around him, and he was enjoyed being really

664
00:57:28.639 --> 00:57:32.800
common being around me. Can you hear that? My bike?

665
00:57:37.320 --> 00:57:41.760
I turned it off? Now, bless him or her, whoever

666
00:57:41.800 --> 00:57:50.599
it is, whoever it is, whatever it is. And I

667
00:57:50.719 --> 00:57:54.800
never saw them again. They did invite me to go visit,

668
00:57:58.639 --> 00:58:01.599
but I think I think I wrote to them or

669
00:58:01.639 --> 00:58:04.559
I gave them my dress and we just lost contact.

670
00:58:04.960 --> 00:58:07.920
But they wanted me to go and visit them, but

671
00:58:08.239 --> 00:58:16.360
I never did. In the end. It's weird, isn't it.

672
00:58:17.880 --> 00:58:22.800
That was like a long time ago, long long long

673
00:58:22.840 --> 00:58:32.039
time ago. No Bosnia and Croatia, that's it. So those

674
00:58:32.119 --> 00:58:42.920
people from Bosnia, Croatia and somewhere else. Yeah, it's just

675
00:58:43.039 --> 00:58:48.360
Eastern European like different different places. But it was in Poland.

676
00:58:49.639 --> 00:58:53.480
A lot of a lot of Polish people in London

677
00:58:53.800 --> 00:58:58.800
because and also generally at that time they weren't legally

678
00:58:58.800 --> 00:59:02.559
allowed to work in in England, not the people that

679
00:59:02.559 --> 00:59:05.159
I work. Because they just happened to be friends they

680
00:59:05.159 --> 00:59:08.800
weren't working there, of course, but at the time there

681
00:59:08.840 --> 00:59:12.840
was a lot of Polish people working cash in hand

682
00:59:13.159 --> 00:59:19.159
in London and then the European they joined the European

683
00:59:19.280 --> 00:59:26.280
Union in I think what two thousand and two something

684
00:59:26.320 --> 00:59:29.719
like that, and a lot of that went home because

685
00:59:29.760 --> 00:59:32.800
there was no point working here anymore because it would

686
00:59:32.800 --> 00:59:35.599
be they'd have to pay tax and it'd be it

687
00:59:35.719 --> 00:59:40.800
just wouldn't It's almost they'd lose money by doing it legally.

688
00:59:46.840 --> 00:59:48.960
It was quite cool because a bunch of them would

689
00:59:49.000 --> 00:59:52.519
come in I guess they lived locally. They would come

690
00:59:52.559 --> 00:59:58.119
in and hang out and I'd hang out with them

691
00:59:58.400 --> 01:00:00.920
and I got on really well with them, like they

692
01:00:01.000 --> 01:00:08.280
kind of accepted me into their group. It was weird

693
01:00:08.480 --> 01:00:12.440
again the speak whatever language they spoke to to me,

694
01:00:13.199 --> 01:00:15.639
and there was a leader as well. There was the

695
01:00:15.760 --> 01:00:19.840
leader of the group. It was it was, Yeah, I

696
01:00:19.920 --> 01:00:22.400
don't know why they seem to get okay with me.

697
01:00:25.039 --> 01:00:28.079
M And then what other people. I've met a lot

698
01:00:28.079 --> 01:00:32.159
of Africans because I worked with a lot of people

699
01:00:32.239 --> 01:00:41.639
from Africa. Are different places in Africa, Ghana. I can't

700
01:00:41.679 --> 01:00:45.400
think of any other places specifically, because I didn't usually

701
01:00:45.440 --> 01:00:49.239
find out where they were from Ghana was one place

702
01:00:49.320 --> 01:00:55.599
because I yeah, I remember, I actually lived in a

703
01:00:55.679 --> 01:00:59.039
house with quite a few people from Ghana, and then

704
01:01:00.039 --> 01:01:02.039
I worked with a lot of people from India and

705
01:01:02.079 --> 01:01:07.679
also from Pakistan, and so when I worked in a bakery,

706
01:01:07.760 --> 01:01:15.960
it was ninety i'd say ninety five Asian or like

707
01:01:16.119 --> 01:01:25.159
you know, Indian, Pakistani. I'm trying to think of other

708
01:01:25.239 --> 01:01:29.519
countries in the area, Bangladeshi, you know, there's lots of

709
01:01:29.519 --> 01:01:34.639
people from those kind of countries were working in the bakery,

710
01:01:35.840 --> 01:01:43.400
but I think mainly Indian, if I remember correctly. There

711
01:01:43.440 --> 01:01:48.199
was a few African people working there as well, and

712
01:01:48.239 --> 01:01:52.079
a very small number of English people. The English people,

713
01:01:52.159 --> 01:01:54.920
even English people weren't even running it. I mean as

714
01:01:54.960 --> 01:01:59.400
far as being the bosses, there was Turkish, so a

715
01:01:59.480 --> 01:02:04.920
Turkish brother as a Turkish bloke that was the manager

716
01:02:04.920 --> 01:02:10.639
of the whole thing. His brother was the manager of

717
01:02:10.760 --> 01:02:14.960
all the team leaders, so he was the manager of

718
01:02:15.000 --> 01:02:17.880
all the other managers. So it's literally them too, was

719
01:02:17.920 --> 01:02:22.400
at the top, and then he had a few people,

720
01:02:24.119 --> 01:02:28.320
I guess shift managers for different departments. Because it was

721
01:02:28.320 --> 01:02:37.639
a huge bakery, I mean mess I've never it's arguably, yeah,

722
01:02:37.679 --> 01:02:42.760
the biggest place I've ever worked. Biggest building I've ever

723
01:02:42.800 --> 01:02:48.480
been in. I mean, maybe maybe the art galleries bigger,

724
01:02:49.679 --> 01:02:52.639
because that's a pretty huge building, isn't it. But as

725
01:02:52.639 --> 01:02:59.760
far as working, it's the largest area I think I've

726
01:02:59.800 --> 01:03:08.199
ever been in under one roof, Absolutely huge. I mean

727
01:03:08.280 --> 01:03:10.199
you could say, well, I was a lot smaller back then,

728
01:03:10.280 --> 01:03:13.320
but yeah, I was still the same height. Yeah, I

729
01:03:13.360 --> 01:03:17.679
was twenty years old, so I wasn't exactly I was thinner,

730
01:03:17.840 --> 01:03:21.920
but I wasn't. You know, things aren't going to look bigger,

731
01:03:23.880 --> 01:03:28.000
are they at twenty than they do at thirty or whatever?

732
01:03:28.039 --> 01:03:32.800
I am? Now, if you could live in any country,

733
01:03:33.800 --> 01:03:36.119
if you could just stick to the question please it's

734
01:03:36.159 --> 01:03:41.719
been asked, if you don't mind, where would I to live?

735
01:03:48.119 --> 01:03:51.239
I thought about America, then I thought about Canada, Then

736
01:03:51.280 --> 01:04:02.880
I thought about Australia, Then I think about I think

737
01:04:02.960 --> 01:04:06.159
I would possibly struggle in a country which has a

738
01:04:06.199 --> 01:04:15.159
different language just because I only speak one language. And

739
01:04:15.199 --> 01:04:18.039
whether or not that's lazy or ignorant, whatever you want

740
01:04:18.079 --> 01:04:21.039
to call it, that's just the fact I only speak

741
01:04:21.079 --> 01:04:28.679
one language. And however great it would be to be bilingual,

742
01:04:30.079 --> 01:04:38.159
I'd like to be by but it's probably not going

743
01:04:38.239 --> 01:04:43.000
to happen anytime soon, although there are apps that are

744
01:04:43.519 --> 01:04:47.480
this technology that can help you to communicate with someone

745
01:04:47.559 --> 01:04:54.320
in a real time who speaks a different language, so

746
01:04:55.000 --> 01:05:01.440
that could help could be useful. Or if I went

747
01:05:01.480 --> 01:05:05.039
to a country where most people spoke English as well

748
01:05:05.079 --> 01:05:11.840
as their own language. But at no point in my

749
01:05:11.920 --> 01:05:17.119
brain do I think that other people should speak English.

750
01:05:17.119 --> 01:05:19.760
That's not totally true though, is it? No? But I

751
01:05:19.840 --> 01:05:22.400
mean in reality, but you know, as a kind of

752
01:05:23.199 --> 01:05:27.480
from a wishful filling thinking, like everyone should be brilliant

753
01:05:27.519 --> 01:05:31.559
if everyone could speak English. But then it'd be brilliant

754
01:05:31.599 --> 01:05:35.800
if everyone could speak all languages, wouldn't it really? You know,

755
01:05:36.159 --> 01:05:39.000
if whenever you go to another country, you automatically can

756
01:05:39.039 --> 01:05:44.199
speak their language. Where did they have that on Star

757
01:05:44.239 --> 01:05:47.000
Trek where they put put a thing in their ear

758
01:05:47.159 --> 01:05:52.519
and they could automatically communicate with whatever language the aliens

759
01:05:52.519 --> 01:05:56.559
were talking, depending on what planet they were on? Was

760
01:05:56.559 --> 01:06:01.639
that in Was that in Star Trek Next Generation? Or

761
01:06:01.760 --> 01:06:06.920
was that in the original the original Star Trek? Because

762
01:06:06.960 --> 01:06:15.719
we've literally now kind of almost got that technology. Where

763
01:06:15.760 --> 01:06:23.360
would I like to live and why? See? I just

764
01:06:23.440 --> 01:06:27.400
don't know. I know that I'm supposed to be answering questions,

765
01:06:27.400 --> 01:06:31.840
and I invited the questions, but I'm not sure what

766
01:06:31.960 --> 01:06:39.840
the answer would be. Maybe I'm just thinking. It's like

767
01:06:42.239 --> 01:06:46.039
if you'd have asked me twenty years ago, i'd have

768
01:06:46.119 --> 01:06:50.519
had a much different answer, because I mentioned I probably

769
01:06:50.519 --> 01:06:59.679
would have said America or perhaps New Zealand or Australia.

770
01:07:00.239 --> 01:07:05.239
New Zealand in a sense of it's similar, kind of

771
01:07:06.320 --> 01:07:10.079
quite similar to the youth to England. I think that's

772
01:07:10.079 --> 01:07:15.599
what I'm told is quite similar, but just nicer. And

773
01:07:21.199 --> 01:07:28.039
I don't know. I'd like to travel around, so I'd

774
01:07:28.079 --> 01:07:32.719
like to visit. But living, I don't know it is

775
01:07:32.760 --> 01:07:34.920
the idea of living, because it doesn't mean I've got

776
01:07:34.960 --> 01:07:37.199
to stay there forever? Does it. I can live somewhere

777
01:07:37.199 --> 01:07:43.280
for a month or for six weeks, it's still living there,

778
01:07:43.320 --> 01:07:56.960
isn't it? Technically? Kind of I know someone that used

779
01:07:57.000 --> 01:08:03.199
to spend half the year and half the year here,

780
01:08:05.519 --> 01:08:11.519
and he seemed quite happy to do that. And I wonder,

781
01:08:11.840 --> 01:08:15.880
and I've heard that some people they'll spend the winter,

782
01:08:16.760 --> 01:08:22.640
our winter here somewhere nice, somewhere like Spain, and then

783
01:08:22.760 --> 01:08:28.560
come back in the summer or you know, just time

784
01:08:28.680 --> 01:08:34.960
this season so that they never have to spend time

785
01:08:35.039 --> 01:08:50.800
in the winter, you know what I mean. There's a

786
01:08:50.800 --> 01:09:00.119
lot of waffle in the garden now and and why,

787
01:09:01.159 --> 01:09:04.640
oh the questions while why would I want to live there?

788
01:09:07.359 --> 01:09:10.279
I've not really answered that question very well. I do apologize.

789
01:09:11.479 --> 01:09:16.880
Michelle asks, is your step mom that's that you talk

790
01:09:16.920 --> 01:09:22.880
about still in your life? The second one is, you know,

791
01:09:23.159 --> 01:09:25.359
I don't see it very often. Couple of times a year.

792
01:09:25.880 --> 01:09:31.520
That's the one that my dad is married to now.

793
01:09:32.279 --> 01:09:35.960
And the first step mom, No, I haven't seen her,

794
01:09:36.920 --> 01:09:43.119
had contact with her. The last time I had any

795
01:09:43.159 --> 01:09:48.840
kind of regular contact was nineteen eighty seven, seeing her

796
01:09:48.840 --> 01:09:57.840
a couple of times, I think nineteen eighty eight, maybe

797
01:09:57.880 --> 01:10:05.000
once nineteen eighty nine. Then I saw her when my

798
01:10:05.039 --> 01:10:07.800
brother had appendicitis because we went and visited him in

799
01:10:07.880 --> 01:10:12.079
hospital and she rolled up to come and see him.

800
01:10:12.119 --> 01:10:18.199
And that was the last time I saw her. That

801
01:10:18.359 --> 01:10:22.359
was probably I don't know how old my brother was.

802
01:10:25.600 --> 01:10:28.880
It could have been a good thirty years ago, twenty

803
01:10:28.920 --> 01:10:33.479
five years, twenty seven years. It's really hard to fit.

804
01:10:33.640 --> 01:10:37.239
I can't I'm not really sure. It was a long

805
01:10:37.279 --> 01:10:44.239
time ago. But no communication between those times or since,

806
01:10:45.960 --> 01:10:48.479
apart from a letter I did send to her recently,

807
01:10:48.880 --> 01:10:50.720
but I don't even know she received it. To be

808
01:10:50.880 --> 01:10:53.479
I wasn't a letter. It was a card and a

809
01:10:53.520 --> 01:10:57.600
present like some flowers, And I sent her a card

810
01:10:57.640 --> 01:10:59.640
on a moonpig just to sort of thank her for

811
01:11:01.640 --> 01:11:04.279
helping look after me when I was little, and that

812
01:11:04.800 --> 01:11:08.520
I think the ages of seven to fifteen, I've thought

813
01:11:08.520 --> 01:11:10.399
it's been nice thing to do, just to say thank

814
01:11:10.439 --> 01:11:13.399
you and letting her that I do appreciate what she did.

815
01:11:15.479 --> 01:11:19.199
And I don't know she received it. I hope she did.

816
01:11:22.840 --> 01:11:26.479
Oh some giggling, some giggling going on out there. Wonder

817
01:11:26.560 --> 01:11:35.439
what that's all about. Oh, gigle wiggle, giggle wiggle. That

820
01:11:43.359 --> 01:11:46.760
week a week or weekle weigle giggling wiggle. I don't know.

821
01:11:47.079 --> 01:11:51.239
Maybe not. Have you ever thought about getting preg not pregnant?

822
01:11:51.880 --> 01:11:53.720
Can ask us? Have you ever for that getting a

823
01:11:53.760 --> 01:12:02.319
pet parrot? A pet parrot? No, that's a very quick answer. No,

824
01:12:03.520 --> 01:12:08.439
that was a very decisive answer. No, never thought about it,

825
01:12:08.600 --> 01:12:15.920
never wanted one, never going to get one ever I'm

826
01:12:15.920 --> 01:12:19.720
not prejudiced against parrots, but I've seen them in action

827
01:12:19.880 --> 01:12:29.119
and they had noisy, proper noisy, And it's going to

828
01:12:29.159 --> 01:12:36.399
sound weird, but I'm not really. I don't like the

829
01:12:36.479 --> 01:12:38.680
idea of me. I did have a budget when I

830
01:12:38.720 --> 01:12:44.119
was a kid, didn't quite work out, but I don't

831
01:12:44.840 --> 01:12:46.960
I don't think i'd want to keep a bird in

832
01:12:47.000 --> 01:12:53.880
a cage. Yeah, just doesn't really doesn't really appeal to me, really,

833
01:12:53.920 --> 01:13:02.319
I just yeah, no, sorry, I don't feel like I've

834
01:13:02.319 --> 01:13:07.000
really answered any of the questions not properly about my

835
01:13:07.079 --> 01:13:09.720
step mom. It's not really I did do a whole

836
01:13:09.720 --> 01:13:13.800
recording about her, this first step mom. I called it

837
01:13:14.800 --> 01:13:18.159
step Numberer, step Mummy number one or something like that,

838
01:13:18.359 --> 01:13:22.399
or my first step mummy, and that was let me

839
01:13:22.439 --> 01:13:25.239
Boy to Sleep. You have to look up, look it up.

840
01:13:25.279 --> 01:13:27.760
I don't know where it is, what number it was,

841
01:13:29.359 --> 01:13:31.239
So I do go into a fair bit of detail

842
01:13:31.279 --> 01:13:38.439
about her. I think I might have done one about

843
01:13:38.479 --> 01:13:42.920
step Mummy number two as well. I think I've never

844
01:13:42.920 --> 01:13:44.960
done a recording about my pet parrot because I've never

845
01:13:45.000 --> 01:13:50.439
had a pet parrot. I just just doesn't really. They're

846
01:13:50.560 --> 01:13:58.880
huge in their parrots. Yeah, probably probably not no, so

847
01:14:01.560 --> 01:14:04.640
it's suddenly become very noisy in the garden. So I'm

848
01:14:04.680 --> 01:14:07.840
gonna have to end this recording because I renon it's

849
01:14:07.880 --> 01:14:15.079
just a partying or something. I don't know, So thank

850
01:14:15.079 --> 01:14:19.560
you very much, thanks for the questions. I'm sorry if

851
01:14:19.600 --> 01:14:22.720
I didn't answer the questions very well. I'll try and

852
01:14:22.720 --> 01:14:27.680
do better next time. I'll do my best this, so

853
01:14:27.760 --> 01:14:31.520
thank you for listening. Remember to be kind to yourself

854
01:14:31.560 --> 01:14:34.840
