00:00:01.080 --> 00:00:15.519
Hello, hell'll come to Qune Friday. Hello, Hello, Hello, hello Hello.

2
00:00:16.600 --> 00:00:21.800
So this is Qune Friday. My name is ad Jason

3
00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:30.039
new Land. Vinnie is sitting on the sofa staring at me,

4
00:00:30.199 --> 00:00:37.719
making some weird noises. I've got his food that's on

5
00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:43.679
the floor on a little plate. There's about a quarter

6
00:00:43.799 --> 00:00:46.399
of an apple also on the floor for him to eat,

7
00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:50.920
and some fresh water, and he's still staring at me

8
00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:58.359
as if to say, where's my food. So I don't

9
00:00:58.399 --> 00:01:03.039
really know what's going on with him. It's very very stage,

10
00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:13.439
very stage. Other than that, please only listen and you

11
00:01:13.439 --> 00:01:19.159
can safely close your eyes. And also my website is

12
00:01:19.319 --> 00:01:25.400
let meiboydsleep dot com for this podcast, but I do

13
00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:29.599
also have my Jasonnewland dot com which is still available.

14
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:35.120
I've I did delete it, but I made it available again.

15
00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:37.640
It's a little bit different format, but it gives you

16
00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:41.040
links to all the different places that you could listen

17
00:01:41.079 --> 00:01:49.040
to my other stuff as well. I know I haven't

18
00:01:49.120 --> 00:02:00.560
been hugely active the last I don't know. I did

19
00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:08.080
a recording on a sixth, which was what was one, two, three, four, five, six,

20
00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:14.280
seven eight days ago, and I did one on the

21
00:02:14.840 --> 00:02:18.960
fifth which was the Friday day before, one on the fourth,

22
00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:24.199
one on the third, one on the alright, and then

23
00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:32.080
one on the thirtieth of August, twenty ninth, twenty eighth,

24
00:02:33.560 --> 00:02:39.879
twenty seventh of August, twenty fifth, because I had my

25
00:02:39.919 --> 00:03:04.759
birthday off, then twenty fourth, twenty third, twenty second, twenty first, twentieth, nineteenth, eighteenth,

26
00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:41.840
seventeenth of August, fourteenth of August, twelfth of August, eleventh, tenth, ninth, eighth, seventh, sixth, fifth, fourth, third.

27
00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:44.800
So you know, it's not like I haven't done any recording.

28
00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:50.280
It's just been like a week and the stats have

29
00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:57.680
gone down to practically nothing. It's weird. And I did

30
00:03:57.719 --> 00:04:01.319
do recording, although I didn't you know. I'm still in

31
00:04:01.319 --> 00:04:05.400
the process of sorting some of the podcasts out I

32
00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:09.039
did start. If this is a bit echoy, I'm sorry.

33
00:04:09.240 --> 00:04:12.120
I've moved my microphone to a different part of the room,

34
00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:18.160
and I might need to get some kind of soundproofing

35
00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:24.759
on this wall here there because the bookcases aren't here anymore.

36
00:04:29.079 --> 00:04:31.160
I can get that sorid I sort that out at

37
00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:34.879
some point, or I could just move back to doing

38
00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:38.079
it on the chair, but that's a little bit uncomfortable.

39
00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:44.120
It's not uncomfortable as far as sitting, but making a recording,

40
00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:47.279
I'm kind of I don't really have the back support

41
00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:53.279
that I need. My neck's a little bit bent, and

42
00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:57.480
I'm kind of having to lean forward here. I can

43
00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:01.920
just talk and I'm sitting up. It's a little bit easier.

44
00:05:02.439 --> 00:05:05.959
And also because i'm looking at the laptop to get

45
00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:11.199
the Facebook questions, it's kind of handy to have it

46
00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:13.759
in front of me rather than to keep looking down.

47
00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:19.680
So yeah, I'd like to say thank you to those

48
00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:23.120
of you that have sent me lovely messages of support.

49
00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:33.800
Thank you and yeah, and also a big message shout

50
00:05:33.839 --> 00:05:38.959
out to Brooke. I do. I've got a message from Cara.

51
00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:44.120
I've not replied yet. I'm sorry. I just I think

52
00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:50.160
I've missed a few messages that I've not replied to.

53
00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:53.319
And I do apologize. I'm not meaning to do that.

54
00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:58.519
Just kind of lost track of stuff, if I'm honest.

55
00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:02.480
But I did try and do the Q and A

56
00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:07.199
Friday on Friday and all it might have been Saturday morning, No,

57
00:06:07.279 --> 00:06:12.319
it's Friday. I think I ended up talking about something

58
00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:18.240
completely different from the Q and A Friday and it

59
00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:24.839
turned into I suppose quite a serious conversation, so I

60
00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:31.839
just ended up ditching it after about forty minutes. But

61
00:06:31.959 --> 00:06:34.680
this is Q and a Friday, and I will be

62
00:06:34.720 --> 00:06:42.040
focusing on just the questions if I can find it,

63
00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:49.000
here we go, right, okay, here we go, Here we go,

64
00:06:49.040 --> 00:06:56.240
here we go. So no big long blah blah blah.

65
00:06:56.279 --> 00:07:00.680
I'm just going to get straight down onto it, straight

66
00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:07.600
down to the nitty gritty drinking water as well. Spent

67
00:07:07.720 --> 00:07:12.279
half the night up last night watching The Boxing Canello Crawford.

68
00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:18.839
It was very good. So Hope is the first question,

69
00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:26.399
and Hope asks what are your top five favorite movies?

70
00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:35.920
Kic mm hmmmmmm. Off the top of my head, I'm

71
00:07:35.959 --> 00:07:39.240
just gonna shout one of my shout them out, but

72
00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:52.160
the Wanderers, Airplane, It's a Wonderful Life, The Life of Brian,

73
00:07:53.959 --> 00:08:02.199
groundhog Day. I'm not going to say they're my absolute favorites.

74
00:08:04.639 --> 00:08:09.399
It's a Wonderful Life is my absolute favorite movie of

75
00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:14.600
all of them. But the others I love and have

76
00:08:14.759 --> 00:08:20.639
watched multiple times, although Airplane Life of Brian not so

77
00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:27.399
much because I kind of watch yeah it just because

78
00:08:27.439 --> 00:08:29.639
their comedy is good. To leave them a bit, you know,

79
00:08:30.959 --> 00:08:33.399
let them marinate and come back to them maybe a

80
00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:39.600
few years later, leave it a decade or so, but

81
00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:44.840
they are five off the top of my head. I'm

82
00:08:44.879 --> 00:08:46.799
just trying to think of any other ones that I

83
00:08:46.960 --> 00:09:00.720
really going back to when I was little boom boom

84
00:09:00.759 --> 00:09:08.279
boom boom boom boom boom movies. Just I'm trying to

85
00:09:08.279 --> 00:09:18.840
think a movie that blew me away. The End of

86
00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:20.720
the Dragon would be another one, So I'm going to

87
00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:27.480
add that on. In fact, I would add that probably

88
00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:30.840
number two of all the ones. Wethough I couldn't really

89
00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:35.080
watch it anymore, But as far as having an impact

90
00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:39.960
on my life, I think let me It's a wonderful

91
00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:44.879
life had an impact on me. I remember watching it

92
00:09:44.919 --> 00:09:48.440
the very first time. I was living above the co

93
00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:56.440
op where I was working. It's nineteen eighty eight. Is

94
00:09:56.440 --> 00:09:59.000
a story behind this? Shall I tell you the story? Yeah?

95
00:09:59.120 --> 00:10:06.000
Go on it right. I was working at a chip shop.

96
00:10:06.120 --> 00:10:09.080
I probably mentioned this a few thousand times over the years.

97
00:10:10.480 --> 00:10:18.559
And what happened is my boss I said something that

98
00:10:18.840 --> 00:10:22.759
annoyed my boss. And this would have been the beginning

99
00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:30.759
of March time, maybe February March nineteen eighty eight, so

100
00:10:30.799 --> 00:10:33.720
I'd been working there for nearly two years, what about

101
00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:36.720
two years at this point, I've been living upstairs in

102
00:10:36.759 --> 00:10:43.960
the flat for a year. So one day he was

103
00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:47.919
just talking about going to see Stevie Wondering concert, and

104
00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:50.879
I was getting annoyed because he was talking about nice

105
00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:52.720
things he was doing and I had no money to

106
00:10:52.759 --> 00:10:55.679
do anything, and I just, I don't know, I was

107
00:10:55.759 --> 00:11:00.200
probably jealous, possibly, and I was a big fan, be

108
00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:03.919
a bigger fan of Stevie Wander than he was, because

109
00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:06.639
I listened to Stevie Wonder like nearly all the time

110
00:11:06.799 --> 00:11:14.039
when I'm back then I said something to upset him,

111
00:11:14.399 --> 00:11:18.600
and he pushed me against the wall and he was

112
00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:22.200
like twice my size at this time. It wouldn't be now,

113
00:11:22.200 --> 00:11:24.120
but you know, back then he was twicet, like pushed

114
00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:28.039
me against the wall and I just told him to

115
00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:37.720
get off. He did apologize, He did apologize, like because

116
00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:39.919
I walked out. I said, you know, I just walked out,

117
00:11:39.960 --> 00:11:46.320
went upstairs, and he apologized. And I couldn't let it

118
00:11:46.360 --> 00:11:49.000
go though, so I kind of said, no, don't worry,

119
00:11:49.480 --> 00:11:51.320
and then I went back to work and I just couldn't.

120
00:11:51.440 --> 00:11:55.120
I couldn't be there anymore, so I quit. I left.

121
00:11:58.320 --> 00:12:01.440
I was given a month to get out of the flat,

122
00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:09.080
but I didn't know where to go because I didn't

123
00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:12.320
have a job or anything. So what happened is I

124
00:12:12.399 --> 00:12:17.080
ended up moving in with my dad, who had a

125
00:12:17.120 --> 00:12:22.799
new house. So I was seventeen at this point. I

126
00:12:22.919 --> 00:12:25.960
stayed in his spare bedroom. It was only temporary. It's

127
00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:34.799
a temporary situation, and I, yeah, it didn't ask me

128
00:12:34.840 --> 00:12:39.600
to leave. But I worked in a car. I got

129
00:12:39.639 --> 00:12:42.720
a job. I got two jobs. Actually, the first job

130
00:12:42.759 --> 00:12:46.879
I got when I was living at my dad's for

131
00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:53.639
the first time was in a care home like a

132
00:12:53.679 --> 00:12:57.840
residential home, and I was helping in the kitchen because

133
00:12:57.840 --> 00:13:03.279
I had whatever you want to call it experience, you know,

134
00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:08.840
catering experience. I've been to college. I spent years at

135
00:13:08.919 --> 00:13:17.000
school working and doing I can't remember what it was called.

136
00:13:17.559 --> 00:13:22.639
What was it called domestic domestic education or whatever it

137
00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:30.480
was called that involved cooking and stuff. So I got

138
00:13:30.480 --> 00:13:37.799
a job working in the kitchen. Now, I thought i'd

139
00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:43.159
be able to handle that. And I'll tell you right now,

140
00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:45.559
it's going to be very hard for me to move

141
00:13:45.600 --> 00:13:48.440
my way back to talking about movies, because I'm going

142
00:13:48.519 --> 00:13:50.399
to get stuck on this, I think. But Hey, I'm

143
00:13:50.480 --> 00:14:01.000
just letting you know. So I'm in this. I go

144
00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:07.480
to this job. I wasn't enthusiastic about it, but back

145
00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:11.559
then I just took whatever I could get. It was

146
00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:14.919
just a job. I think that was the understanding. I

147
00:14:14.919 --> 00:14:16.879
could stay with my dad, but I had to work,

148
00:14:18.759 --> 00:14:21.080
and it's very easy to get a job back then

149
00:14:21.799 --> 00:14:24.720
at my age. You know, I basically I didn't have

150
00:14:24.759 --> 00:14:27.519
to take those menial jobs. And not that there's nothing

151
00:14:27.519 --> 00:14:31.399
wrong with working in a care home. Blimey. It's a

152
00:14:31.480 --> 00:14:33.879
really good job to have, and it's a you know,

153
00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:38.879
you know what I mean, like if it's a it's

154
00:14:39.240 --> 00:14:43.679
although I wouldn't wasn't directly caring for elderly people. I

155
00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:47.200
was cooking for them. So that's a very important part

156
00:14:47.240 --> 00:14:55.440
of being alive, isn't it? Having food? Apparently, So I'll

157
00:14:55.440 --> 00:14:57.399
tell you right now it didn't work out very well,

158
00:14:57.519 --> 00:15:02.200
but I'll come to that. I could have done anything, really,

159
00:15:02.519 --> 00:15:04.360
I could have. You know, I lived in a place

160
00:15:04.360 --> 00:15:06.720
where there was a docks, one of the biggest docks

161
00:15:06.720 --> 00:15:10.759
in Europe. I could have got a job as a runner,

162
00:15:10.960 --> 00:15:17.039
just taking parcels from one place to another. You know,

163
00:15:17.080 --> 00:15:18.919
I could have got a job in I don't know.

164
00:15:19.000 --> 00:15:21.240
There wasn't there wasn't a lot going, but there was

165
00:15:21.600 --> 00:15:24.120
probably thousands of jobs that I could have applied for

166
00:15:24.799 --> 00:15:30.519
on the docks, and I didn't even think about it.

167
00:15:32.799 --> 00:15:35.159
All I wanted to do is just get the first

168
00:15:35.200 --> 00:15:38.279
available job, which is why I did that. So went

169
00:15:38.320 --> 00:15:40.559
to the job center. I said, I'll go for that

170
00:15:40.600 --> 00:15:44.200
one they phoned up. That's in a days, right. I

171
00:15:44.240 --> 00:15:47.559
don't know what it's like where you live, and I

172
00:15:47.600 --> 00:15:53.480
don't know what it's like now either. That's very slavery.

173
00:15:53.480 --> 00:16:00.000
It was out there like now. Anyway, I'm getting all

174
00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:03.960
to try feedback from my own mouth, even though I've

175
00:16:03.960 --> 00:16:08.720
not got headphones on. Back in those days, we had

176
00:16:08.720 --> 00:16:12.159
this little job center on a corner and it was little.

177
00:16:13.399 --> 00:16:17.639
There was no room there was there's literally the seating

178
00:16:17.960 --> 00:16:24.039
was two desks, two seats with people even at the

179
00:16:24.039 --> 00:16:28.279
other side, and then some jobs in the window, some

180
00:16:28.399 --> 00:16:30.080
jobs in the other window the other side, and there's

181
00:16:30.080 --> 00:16:33.240
some jobs on the other side, and it's like it

182
00:16:33.279 --> 00:16:36.879
was the size of a corner shop, like a corner

183
00:16:37.120 --> 00:16:48.720
sweet shop. That wasn't big at all. And I have

184
00:16:48.799 --> 00:16:51.039
no idea where people used to go to sign on

185
00:16:51.080 --> 00:16:53.000
because I never signed on when I was in that town,

186
00:16:53.120 --> 00:16:56.159
so or I was never unemployed, so I was, but

187
00:16:56.200 --> 00:17:01.480
I never like claimed benefits. I think it must have

188
00:17:01.559 --> 00:17:04.599
been somewhere else they went because there was no room

189
00:17:04.640 --> 00:17:09.200
in there, but they had these bits of cardboard, so

190
00:17:09.240 --> 00:17:14.119
there was this big plastic sheeting with I suppose pockets

191
00:17:14.720 --> 00:17:20.160
which you could put not like pockets in trousers, you know,

192
00:17:20.400 --> 00:17:25.279
you can put these I suppose post card size or

193
00:17:25.279 --> 00:17:33.839
index cards in and it'd advertise the latest jobs. So

194
00:17:33.880 --> 00:17:36.480
I'd look in the window and then have them either

195
00:17:36.559 --> 00:17:38.519
side so you could look outside and you could look

196
00:17:38.599 --> 00:17:42.599
inside different jobs, and then I could just like I

197
00:17:42.640 --> 00:17:46.279
think you'd maybe write down them the reference number, or

198
00:17:46.759 --> 00:17:48.759
maybe even take the card out and take it to

199
00:17:48.799 --> 00:17:57.400
the desk. I can't one million percent remember and videas

200
00:17:57.440 --> 00:18:03.920
having a nice drink literally now. So it's eleven thirty two.

201
00:18:04.039 --> 00:18:07.279
He has the name his Breakfast Chat. But he has

202
00:18:07.319 --> 00:18:12.759
also had a bit of a weird night because he's

203
00:18:12.799 --> 00:18:15.880
been up with me and then asleep, and then up

204
00:18:15.880 --> 00:18:21.640
and then asleep. So I went in because I needed

205
00:18:21.640 --> 00:18:25.480
to get a job, and this sent me for an

206
00:18:25.480 --> 00:18:34.400
interview at this care home residential home. I don't even

207
00:18:34.480 --> 00:18:37.160
know where it was. I mean an idea at the time.

208
00:18:37.720 --> 00:18:43.680
Because I worked there, I couldn't tell you now. So

209
00:18:43.880 --> 00:18:46.400
I know, I can still remember the outlay of that town,

210
00:18:48.319 --> 00:18:53.759
but I don't remember where that nurse in the place was. Hmmm,

211
00:18:57.759 --> 00:19:02.720
I think, I wait now, I don't know. So I

212
00:19:02.880 --> 00:19:07.319
turned up straight away. The woman in the kitchen, she

213
00:19:07.519 --> 00:19:12.279
was my boss. She didn't seem to take a liking

214
00:19:12.359 --> 00:19:18.160
to me. But in all fairness, I don't think I

215
00:19:18.319 --> 00:19:24.920
was particularly likable, not in a bad way. I just

216
00:19:25.119 --> 00:19:27.279
had a bit of an attitude on me, I think

217
00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:35.559
a little bit. I didn't want to be there. I

218
00:19:35.599 --> 00:19:37.920
was willing to work, I was a hard worker, but

219
00:19:37.960 --> 00:19:42.119
I just I wasn't interested in the job. It wasn't

220
00:19:42.160 --> 00:19:47.559
like it was my life's ambition to peel potatoes, which

221
00:19:47.599 --> 00:19:49.759
I've been doing for the last two years. To be fair,

222
00:19:50.480 --> 00:19:54.599
it's quite good at it, and I remember one point

223
00:19:54.640 --> 00:19:56.240
she was actually trying to say, no, that's not how

224
00:19:56.279 --> 00:19:59.200
you do it. I got a little with experience doing this, baby.

225
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:03.960
She said, don't call me baby. I said sorry. So

226
00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:12.000
she didn't like me and everything. I didn't see to

227
00:20:12.079 --> 00:20:14.839
do anything right. It's all it was, is just prep

228
00:20:15.720 --> 00:20:20.759
mainly just preparing the food. She did the cooking. I

229
00:20:21.039 --> 00:20:25.200
prepare the food, and then I got given responsibility of

230
00:20:25.240 --> 00:20:28.839
making the porridge. Now I've talked about the porridge incident,

231
00:20:29.640 --> 00:20:34.440
I don't need to talk about it again. Possibly, but

232
00:20:34.519 --> 00:20:39.839
no matter what I did, the porridge was not up

233
00:20:39.880 --> 00:20:48.119
to standard. It got kicked every day for I was

234
00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:51.640
there for two weeks, So two weeks trial I think

235
00:20:51.759 --> 00:20:54.440
maybe it was a week's trial. It seemed like about

236
00:20:54.440 --> 00:21:01.640
a year, and every day people would complain the porridge

237
00:21:01.720 --> 00:21:07.599
was too thick, or it was too thin, too runny,

238
00:21:08.519 --> 00:21:16.880
it was too sweet, too salty, and it was never Basically,

239
00:21:16.960 --> 00:21:21.640
we had probably I don't know, fifty people living there,

240
00:21:22.440 --> 00:21:26.240
maybe maybe more, maybe less. They're all like their porridge different.

241
00:21:29.480 --> 00:21:36.400
You can't, you can't. It's just an impossible situation. In

242
00:21:36.440 --> 00:21:38.680
that kind of situation, they have to add their own

243
00:21:38.680 --> 00:21:40.880
sugar on their own salt, that they to make it

244
00:21:40.960 --> 00:21:44.039
how they want it to taste, because I can't make

245
00:21:44.160 --> 00:21:50.680
one that's going to make everyone happy. So that got

246
00:21:50.720 --> 00:21:55.759
a bit frustrated, and back then I wasn't as amenable

247
00:21:57.680 --> 00:22:02.160
to criticism as perhaps I now. I'm not saying amenable now,

248
00:22:02.240 --> 00:22:09.319
but I was a little bit more and reactive. So

249
00:22:09.400 --> 00:22:14.440
I was having arguments with people about it and just

250
00:22:14.559 --> 00:22:19.000
telling them what I thought. I said, just this is ridiculous.

251
00:22:20.680 --> 00:22:23.240
The whole situation was ridiculous. I mean, I can't I

252
00:22:23.359 --> 00:22:27.960
can't believe everyone. I think. I went into the into

253
00:22:28.000 --> 00:22:33.119
the where they all sat and ate, and I started shouting.

254
00:22:34.599 --> 00:22:37.839
I was like, you come and everyone, come in and

255
00:22:37.880 --> 00:22:41.079
cook your own porridge. And I got told off for that.

256
00:22:44.519 --> 00:22:46.400
The thing is, when I went there, I always had,

257
00:22:46.519 --> 00:22:48.759
you know, a bit a lot of respect for elderly

258
00:22:48.799 --> 00:22:53.200
people because because of how close I was to my non.

259
00:22:54.720 --> 00:23:00.680
I just I guess I just automatically had this questionable

260
00:23:04.079 --> 00:23:07.799
respect I guess to elderly people because my name has

261
00:23:07.799 --> 00:23:11.319
always been Old. She's not around anymore. But I'm not

262
00:23:11.359 --> 00:23:14.480
saying she was born old, but ever since I've known

263
00:23:14.480 --> 00:23:21.839
now ever since the age of seven, she's probably in

264
00:23:21.839 --> 00:23:35.519
her sixties then seven seventeen, twenty seven, thirty seven, forty seven. Okay, no, yeah,

265
00:23:35.599 --> 00:23:40.920
she's well, I know she's probably it's probably about my age.

266
00:23:42.039 --> 00:23:48.240
But anyway, it just didn't feel right that I was

267
00:23:48.359 --> 00:23:52.279
being I mean, some people are coming in shouting at me.

268
00:23:53.839 --> 00:23:55.680
Why are you shouting at me? You're old, you're supposed

269
00:23:55.720 --> 00:24:00.680
to be nice. I didn't realize that being old doesn't

270
00:24:01.119 --> 00:24:04.160
it doesn't mean anything, just doesn't mean someone's old. They're

271
00:24:04.200 --> 00:24:07.279
going to be like mynn just because they were saying age,

272
00:24:07.279 --> 00:24:11.279
it's my name. At this point, I was what seventeen

273
00:24:12.200 --> 00:24:19.759
my name probably getting onto seventy at this point. I

274
00:24:19.839 --> 00:24:23.839
wh she passed away when she was ninety five, I

275
00:24:23.880 --> 00:24:28.880
think ninety six, and that was ten years ago when

276
00:24:28.920 --> 00:24:36.160
I was forty forty four. So I can't work it

277
00:24:36.200 --> 00:24:38.759
out how old she'd have been when I was seventeen.

278
00:24:41.079 --> 00:24:44.880
You might be able to I can't forty four, thirty four,

279
00:24:45.000 --> 00:24:58.200
twenty four, So ninety eighty, seventy six, eight nine, ten, seven,

280
00:24:58.839 --> 00:25:04.480
sixty nine, so it makes sense about sixty nine, maybe

281
00:25:04.519 --> 00:25:10.720
sixty sixty nine, seventy roughly into a seventeen year old.

282
00:25:10.759 --> 00:25:15.039
That's old. It was to me. I mean, I realized

283
00:25:15.079 --> 00:25:18.960
now that sixty nine is very very young. I keep

284
00:25:19.039 --> 00:25:25.720
saying it to myself. Maybe it would come true. And

285
00:25:28.640 --> 00:25:30.519
I wasn't sure what to do with that job because

286
00:25:30.519 --> 00:25:32.960
it wasn't going well. And then there was an added

287
00:25:33.079 --> 00:25:40.880
element now when my step mom kind of when the

288
00:25:40.920 --> 00:25:43.799
family broke up. Let's say and I went and lived

289
00:25:43.839 --> 00:25:49.039
with my step mom, my little brother, and my step

290
00:25:49.079 --> 00:25:52.559
mom's mom. I was sleeping on a look a camper

291
00:25:52.559 --> 00:25:59.240
bed in the living room for about blind me. It

292
00:25:59.319 --> 00:26:07.920
was nearly year, maybe ten months, yeah, nearly a year actually.

293
00:26:08.519 --> 00:26:13.680
So during that period she dated a couple of people,

294
00:26:14.319 --> 00:26:16.880
and she dated one particular person that had a motorbike,

295
00:26:18.359 --> 00:26:24.880
and I wasn't a big fan of him. I probably

296
00:26:24.960 --> 00:26:26.559
wasn't going to be a big fan of anyone that

297
00:26:26.599 --> 00:26:29.440
she was dating, to be honest, but it was not

298
00:26:29.640 --> 00:26:38.559
really in it my business. Well after she left and

299
00:26:38.680 --> 00:26:43.000
moved away and they ended up, you know, starting a

300
00:26:43.000 --> 00:26:49.440
new life and that which was nineteen it was, yeah,

301
00:26:49.559 --> 00:26:54.240
just before I moved into the chip shop flat above

302
00:26:54.279 --> 00:26:56.839
the chip shop. That's when she moved. So that's when

303
00:26:56.920 --> 00:27:03.279
I didn't have anywhere to live. So you know, this

304
00:27:03.319 --> 00:27:11.960
all happened. That man on the motorbike was coming into

305
00:27:12.039 --> 00:27:17.680
the residential home every single morning to see the woman

306
00:27:18.000 --> 00:27:27.559
that was my boss because she was his not his

307
00:27:27.759 --> 00:27:31.720
actual mother, but like a mother to him, which is

308
00:27:31.799 --> 00:27:34.839
kind of ironic. Really, now I've missed a little bit out.

309
00:27:39.000 --> 00:27:43.559
This is going back another year. So the previous year

310
00:27:44.839 --> 00:27:47.920
after my stepmom, who I classed with. My mom had

311
00:27:47.960 --> 00:27:51.880
moved away and I didn't really see her again after that.

312
00:27:52.079 --> 00:27:58.839
I had no regular contact since. And I was in

313
00:27:58.880 --> 00:28:08.839
a nightclub. I guess I was probably seventeen early setting

314
00:28:08.880 --> 00:28:11.839
on at late sixteen. I don't know. It's hard to

315
00:28:11.920 --> 00:28:14.039
keep track, but I don't know. I was living above

316
00:28:14.079 --> 00:28:17.000
the chip shops during that year that I was living

317
00:28:17.079 --> 00:28:20.119
up there. I was in a nightclub with one of

318
00:28:20.119 --> 00:28:26.839
my friends, and this bloke, the motorblike bloke who used

319
00:28:26.839 --> 00:28:30.720
to date my step mom for a little while, came

320
00:28:30.799 --> 00:28:33.559
up to me and he whispered something in my ear.

321
00:28:35.240 --> 00:28:37.720
I can't tell you what it was he whispered. I

322
00:28:37.759 --> 00:28:43.960
can tell you part of the sentence. The first bit

323
00:28:44.119 --> 00:28:48.599
was I. That was the first word, and then there

324
00:28:48.640 --> 00:28:51.440
was another word, and then the last two words was

325
00:28:51.920 --> 00:29:02.640
your mum. He giggled and walked away. Now wasn't the

326
00:29:02.799 --> 00:29:06.400
nicest thing anyone could have done, to be honest, and

327
00:29:11.960 --> 00:29:14.039
even a lot older than me, a lot bigger, I just,

328
00:29:14.160 --> 00:29:17.119
I just it was difficult what to do with in

329
00:29:17.160 --> 00:29:18.880
that situation because I was still a kid. I was

330
00:29:19.000 --> 00:29:24.799
a teenager, and he was twenty six, twenty seven, twenty five.

331
00:29:24.920 --> 00:29:33.200
I don't know three times bigger than me. And then

332
00:29:33.240 --> 00:29:36.200
he's in there coming in. So a year later, he's

333
00:29:36.240 --> 00:29:40.799
in this place every day walking in. Told her how

334
00:29:40.839 --> 00:29:43.000
wonderful his mumm is even though she's like a she's

335
00:29:43.160 --> 00:29:46.039
his actual mum, which was a similar situation to me

336
00:29:46.119 --> 00:29:49.720
really because my mum wasn't my mum either, really not biologically,

337
00:29:51.839 --> 00:29:55.559
and I could see the irony in that to see

338
00:29:55.559 --> 00:29:58.680
how close he was to her and how important she

339
00:29:58.960 --> 00:30:03.119
was to him. Yeah, he wasn't able to see that,

340
00:30:04.000 --> 00:30:07.319
you know, and maybe he just didn't need forgotten it

341
00:30:07.440 --> 00:30:14.559
said it, but I hadn't. And the first he wasn't.

342
00:30:14.640 --> 00:30:16.440
I think it was he didn't come in the first day,

343
00:30:16.480 --> 00:30:20.319
but I think the second day came in and that

344
00:30:20.400 --> 00:30:24.160
was me done. That was like, nah, I stuck it.

345
00:30:24.200 --> 00:30:28.359
But I thought, I don't want to be here now

346
00:30:29.079 --> 00:30:34.640
if that, and I think I did say what's that

347
00:30:34.799 --> 00:30:38.160
idiot doing there? And she said that's my son. Days

348
00:30:39.279 --> 00:30:46.440
good and he just let him know that I didn't

349
00:30:46.480 --> 00:30:48.640
want him. I didn't want to know him. But it

350
00:30:48.720 --> 00:30:57.200
was really weird, like kept coming in like really and yeah,

351
00:30:57.240 --> 00:30:59.839
I had some weird thoughts back then. So that wasn't good.

352
00:31:00.160 --> 00:31:05.400
But everything worked out and I got sacked. Everything worked

353
00:31:05.400 --> 00:31:08.480
that well. I got sacked. Basically my trial ended and

354
00:31:09.200 --> 00:31:13.240
he said, you know you're not you know you haven't

355
00:31:13.240 --> 00:31:17.880
passed a trial. I said, yeah, good. The only reason

356
00:31:17.920 --> 00:31:20.920
I stayed for the whole trial because of my dad,

357
00:31:21.279 --> 00:31:25.680
so I promised I would. I wouldn't have lasted probably

358
00:31:25.720 --> 00:31:28.079
two hours there, if it had just been me on

359
00:31:28.119 --> 00:31:31.759
my own. I wouldn't put up with that stuff because

360
00:31:31.799 --> 00:31:34.079
I was living with my dad. And when I told

361
00:31:34.240 --> 00:31:37.359
I had a two week trial, like, just promise me,

362
00:31:37.400 --> 00:31:43.039
you'll stick it out for the trial, Okay, okay, so

363
00:31:43.319 --> 00:31:46.079
I I you know. So I left there. My dad

364
00:31:46.119 --> 00:31:52.079
wasn't massively happy, but I managed to get another job

365
00:31:53.160 --> 00:31:58.000
within about a week, working at the co op. Now

366
00:31:58.039 --> 00:32:00.960
I can't remember why I'm talking. Oh yes, it's about movie,

367
00:32:01.000 --> 00:32:03.799
isn't it. So I started working at the co op,

368
00:32:04.400 --> 00:32:06.759
which is if you don't know what it is, it

369
00:32:06.920 --> 00:32:12.920
is like a it's a supermarket. It's big in the

370
00:32:13.000 --> 00:32:15.720
UK when England anyway, I don't know about other parts

371
00:32:15.759 --> 00:32:21.119
of the country or other parts of the land mass

372
00:32:21.680 --> 00:32:27.880
of which I live. And I worked in this co

373
00:32:27.960 --> 00:32:36.759
op and it was a small one. It was hm,

374
00:32:37.400 --> 00:32:39.880
I'd say it probably wasn't much maybe a little bit

375
00:32:39.920 --> 00:32:44.880
bigger than the average small shop, you know, probably a

376
00:32:44.880 --> 00:32:47.160
little bit bigger. And there was space around the back

377
00:32:47.240 --> 00:32:51.000
for deliveries. In fact, if they'd have removed all that,

378
00:32:51.039 --> 00:32:53.279
they could have had a much bigger shop, but they

379
00:32:53.279 --> 00:32:55.720
would have had to delivered from the front. So they

380
00:32:55.720 --> 00:32:58.960
had a storage for palettes and stuff. So it was

381
00:32:59.000 --> 00:33:06.200
a professional set up. And I started working there, I

382
00:33:06.240 --> 00:33:13.440
think it was, but within a week of stopping other place.

383
00:33:13.480 --> 00:33:20.599
I think it's like April time, nineteen eighty eight, and

384
00:33:22.880 --> 00:33:28.240
I didn't love it. That would be kind of the

385
00:33:29.759 --> 00:33:34.160
like the stamp line or the headline or the standard

386
00:33:34.400 --> 00:33:36.839
you know, response to pretty much every job I've ever

387
00:33:36.880 --> 00:33:43.799
had is I didn't really love it. This can't say

388
00:33:43.839 --> 00:33:47.960
I particularly liked any job I did. Maybe a couple

389
00:33:48.400 --> 00:33:51.480
I didn't mind too much, But you know, I've had

390
00:33:51.640 --> 00:33:58.799
what fifty sixty jobs. Yeah, there was times I quite

391
00:33:58.920 --> 00:34:05.279
liked working in insurance. I like being good at something,

392
00:34:05.480 --> 00:34:07.720
but I didn't like doing the thing I was good at,

393
00:34:09.920 --> 00:34:13.119
so selling car insurance on the phone, I didn't like

394
00:34:13.239 --> 00:34:16.440
doing it. But I enjoyed being the second best out

395
00:34:16.480 --> 00:34:21.599
of two hundred and fifty people. That was nice. But

396
00:34:21.679 --> 00:34:25.559
the actual job itself. It was nice to see me

397
00:34:25.800 --> 00:34:29.880
myself on the leaderboard and sometimes the top salesperson of

398
00:34:29.920 --> 00:34:33.760
the week or the month, sometimes the second. It was all,

399
00:34:33.840 --> 00:34:37.280
you know. It was always like second or first, usually second,

400
00:34:37.280 --> 00:34:39.400
to be honest. So I could have just bragged and

401
00:34:39.440 --> 00:34:48.159
said first, you'd never know. But unfortunately, yeah, someone else

402
00:34:48.280 --> 00:34:52.239
was first most of the time because it was much

403
00:34:52.280 --> 00:34:56.840
better than me. It's as simple as that, wasn't it.

404
00:34:57.000 --> 00:35:02.280
Cody Cody, I think it's Cody's name. Was. It was

405
00:35:02.320 --> 00:35:07.440
just better than me. That's simple. So but it was

406
00:35:07.440 --> 00:35:09.599
still nice to be, you know, one of the best.

407
00:35:12.599 --> 00:35:17.280
But I didn't enjoy doing that kind of work. The

408
00:35:17.320 --> 00:35:19.719
only the only nice thing about it is perhaps being

409
00:35:19.760 --> 00:35:22.519
around people, and there was a bit of a social life,

410
00:35:23.760 --> 00:35:28.400
and it I kind of got a little bit of respect,

411
00:35:28.599 --> 00:35:32.639
I think because of how well I was doing. Maybe

412
00:35:32.760 --> 00:35:40.960
I don't know. So it was this partly okay, hmmm, Anyway,

413
00:35:40.960 --> 00:35:47.360
I get this job in the in the co op, really, Benny.

414
00:35:47.559 --> 00:35:51.840
They give me this horrible brown jacket when I go

415
00:35:51.920 --> 00:35:53.960
first go in there, so I've got trousers and a

416
00:35:54.000 --> 00:35:58.679
shirt and a tie and they give me this brown

417
00:36:00.079 --> 00:36:04.440
smelly it had a weird smell. It wasn't smelly as

418
00:36:04.480 --> 00:36:08.119
in covered in dog poo or anything like that. It

419
00:36:08.159 --> 00:36:12.480
was just smelly. It just had a weird smell. And

420
00:36:12.519 --> 00:36:15.440
I didn't like that because I didn't want customers coming

421
00:36:15.440 --> 00:36:20.039
in thinking that that was me. Because I was fairly

422
00:36:20.159 --> 00:36:24.559
hygienic back then. I'm not saying i'm not now, but

423
00:36:24.639 --> 00:36:29.519
I was proper, you know, because I hoped to be

424
00:36:29.519 --> 00:36:34.440
able to have a girlfriend one day, so I knew

425
00:36:34.480 --> 00:36:38.199
I needed to sort of smell nice and look presentable.

426
00:36:42.920 --> 00:36:48.039
I like. Now, so I'm in there and they give

427
00:36:48.039 --> 00:36:50.760
me this, and it's too tight, bearing in mind a

428
00:36:50.880 --> 00:36:57.000
way like maybe well nine stone or something, some skinny,

429
00:36:57.320 --> 00:37:01.880
really skinny, and this, and they give me a jacket

430
00:37:02.400 --> 00:37:08.440
that's too small for me if I'm constricted. Now, it's

431
00:37:08.559 --> 00:37:15.920
very hard for someone a male being nine stone to

432
00:37:16.000 --> 00:37:21.559
where something that's constrictive because I was tiny. It's really really,

433
00:37:21.599 --> 00:37:26.760
really really little. I mean, I wouldn't be able to

434
00:37:26.800 --> 00:37:30.920
even get my arms through it. Now it'd be you know,

435
00:37:31.440 --> 00:37:38.239
it would it would be ridiculous. But I struggled even then. Eventually.

436
00:37:40.000 --> 00:37:40.920
Sorry about the noise.

437
00:37:40.920 --> 00:37:47.440
If you can hear the the screaming people in the garden.

438
00:37:48.280 --> 00:37:51.440
I managed to get a bigger one in the end,

439
00:37:52.360 --> 00:37:53.440
but then it was too big.

440
00:37:54.400 --> 00:37:57.400
You couldn't win. So the problem with I got, I'm

441
00:37:57.440 --> 00:38:03.039
broader than I am long, So I'm sure I realized

442
00:38:03.039 --> 00:38:04.880
that as I put weight on it, I actually had

443
00:38:05.400 --> 00:38:08.400
the bone structure to have the weight and then realize

444
00:38:08.440 --> 00:38:14.280
it back then, So I've got I'm not and I said,

445
00:38:14.320 --> 00:38:19.239
I don't have long arms. So it's quite hard for

446
00:38:19.280 --> 00:38:23.199
me to buy stuff now as well. If I buy

447
00:38:23.239 --> 00:38:27.320
some trousers, it's hard for me to buy trousers that

448
00:38:27.920 --> 00:38:30.760
are the right length. And when I buy something that

449
00:38:30.840 --> 00:38:35.800
fits my upper body because like XL or xx L whatever,

450
00:38:37.159 --> 00:38:41.960
usually the sleeves are too long because of my arm.

451
00:38:42.119 --> 00:38:46.599
My arms don't match my body like length wise, I'm

452
00:38:46.639 --> 00:38:56.400
more girthed than length as it were. And so I'm

453
00:38:56.440 --> 00:39:01.960
working in this shop. I remember getting in there and

454
00:39:02.559 --> 00:39:04.519
one of the things one of my main jobs to

455
00:39:04.559 --> 00:39:12.000
start with was to load the bread section, so to

456
00:39:12.119 --> 00:39:18.679
put the bread and I suppose the cakes and all

457
00:39:18.719 --> 00:39:22.280
that stuff into the you the bread section which was

458
00:39:22.320 --> 00:39:25.000
low down, which wasn't really an issue back then because

459
00:39:25.000 --> 00:39:36.599
I was able to bend down comfortably. And then other things,

460
00:39:36.639 --> 00:39:39.320
you know, I think when the deliveries came had to

461
00:39:39.400 --> 00:39:42.480
kind of check everything off on the list from the palette,

462
00:39:42.519 --> 00:39:49.480
and then there was busy periods, especially kind of I

463
00:39:49.519 --> 00:39:51.679
think about half ten, and then at lunch time it

464
00:39:51.760 --> 00:39:57.320
seemed to get busy, so there'd be a separate till.

465
00:39:58.440 --> 00:40:00.920
Then there's two separate tills, the big tool at the

466
00:40:00.920 --> 00:40:04.360
front on the main counter where all the cigarettes would

467
00:40:04.400 --> 00:40:06.320
be high end and the alcohol and all that stuff,

468
00:40:09.760 --> 00:40:13.719
and there was a shutter for that section because it

469
00:40:13.760 --> 00:40:18.239
could only be they could only serve that stuff from

470
00:40:18.400 --> 00:40:22.760
half eleven in the morning till I think two o'clock

471
00:40:22.760 --> 00:40:28.840
in the afternoon, because that was the license in ours.

472
00:40:30.239 --> 00:40:34.119
I don't know if it was just the alcohol, and

473
00:40:34.159 --> 00:40:36.880
I don't think I was allowed to sell cigarettes. I

474
00:40:36.920 --> 00:40:39.920
wasn't allowed to sell alcohol anyway because I was only seventeen,

475
00:40:40.840 --> 00:40:44.599
so I had to get every time every time I

476
00:40:44.639 --> 00:40:47.920
wanted to get. So every time I wanted alcohol, I

477
00:40:47.920 --> 00:40:52.199
had to ask permission for remember of staff to sell

478
00:40:52.239 --> 00:40:58.880
this alcohol. So I wasn't asking the customer's age, but

479
00:40:58.960 --> 00:41:01.159
I wasn't asking my own because I knew what it was.

480
00:41:01.639 --> 00:41:03.519
But it was weird. I was kind of getting permission

481
00:41:03.519 --> 00:41:10.599
for myself rather than for them. And sometimes I'd had

482
00:41:10.639 --> 00:41:13.119
people come in that were younger than me, and I'd

483
00:41:13.199 --> 00:41:17.159
just deserve them if I could, because at that time

484
00:41:17.519 --> 00:41:21.079
I didn't like I wanted to be served, so it

485
00:41:21.159 --> 00:41:23.760
was hard. So if I saw someone that was able

486
00:41:23.800 --> 00:41:26.480
to get served, I'd always serve them. Then they could

487
00:41:26.480 --> 00:41:29.000
perhaps get me something in the future, you know, if

488
00:41:29.039 --> 00:41:31.119
I was out and I needed to get something from

489
00:41:31.199 --> 00:41:33.440
the shop, they'd go in and buy it for me.

490
00:41:34.559 --> 00:41:40.320
So that was that was quite good. I couldn't hear that.

491
00:41:42.559 --> 00:41:46.639
I don't know how loud that is on the microphone.

492
00:41:46.880 --> 00:41:52.280
I can't do anything about it. I suppose I could

493
00:41:52.360 --> 00:41:59.039
close the window. I'm just a bit a bit careful

494
00:41:59.039 --> 00:42:01.079
about closing the window when they're out there, because if

495
00:42:01.079 --> 00:42:02.920
they see me close the window, they might just up

496
00:42:03.440 --> 00:42:09.960
the volume, you know. So like anyway, So I'm in

497
00:42:09.960 --> 00:42:15.199
this shop, and one of my memories of this, there's

498
00:42:15.199 --> 00:42:19.119
two memories I got really of working there. One was

499
00:42:19.920 --> 00:42:26.519
every break time, not dinner lunch, but every morning break

500
00:42:27.800 --> 00:42:32.119
I would get a packet of biscuits, usually figure rolls.

501
00:42:33.159 --> 00:42:36.519
But there were nice figure roles, they weren't. I mean,

502
00:42:36.559 --> 00:42:38.320
I've never had a figure roll. I didn't like, but

503
00:42:38.360 --> 00:42:41.400
there were specific ones I liked. They were more flat

504
00:42:41.480 --> 00:42:47.639
than sausage, roll kin'd type and a can of coke,

505
00:42:48.840 --> 00:42:52.000
and I'd buy that. Usually i'd buy it before my

506
00:42:52.039 --> 00:42:54.000
break so I could just go in and eat it.

507
00:42:54.039 --> 00:42:56.719
So i'd buy it first in the morning and then

508
00:42:56.760 --> 00:43:00.719
i'd go and eat it or pay for it later,

509
00:43:00.800 --> 00:43:03.800
you know, whichever way worked out, and I go and

510
00:43:03.840 --> 00:43:08.280
have my break listen to the radio. It was like

511
00:43:08.400 --> 00:43:16.199
fifteen minutes because we had this little little room were

512
00:43:16.440 --> 00:43:22.559
sync with a little table about three chairs. I think, then,

513
00:43:22.760 --> 00:43:29.719
can it make a bit more nise please? Okay, it

514
00:43:29.760 --> 00:43:36.199
doesn't want to. And I don't know what else was

515
00:43:36.239 --> 00:43:39.760
in there, probably a coat rack. I think it was

516
00:43:39.800 --> 00:43:42.199
locked as well, so we have to use the code

517
00:43:42.239 --> 00:43:47.760
to get in and out. And it'd be a radio playing.

518
00:43:48.360 --> 00:43:52.239
And I just remember this particular time because you can

519
00:43:52.280 --> 00:43:56.719
actually check the timings the years by these two songs

520
00:43:56.840 --> 00:44:01.119
everywhere by Fleetwood Mac and Fast Car by Tracy Chapman.

521
00:44:02.840 --> 00:44:08.920
For some reason, those two songs kept playing, not for

522
00:44:09.000 --> 00:44:13.119
the duration of me working there, but like you know, regularly,

523
00:44:13.159 --> 00:44:16.159
for a few weeks, those two songs just seemed to

524
00:44:16.159 --> 00:44:21.159
be playing on the radio. Usually both of them in

525
00:44:21.159 --> 00:44:24.559
that fifteen minute section. For some reason, it's kind of

526
00:44:24.599 --> 00:44:28.639
weird and it might be a lie as well. It

527
00:44:28.760 --> 00:44:37.480
might be a lie, it may be true. And another

528
00:44:37.599 --> 00:44:41.400
memory is I would go home while I go back

529
00:44:41.400 --> 00:44:45.719
to my dad's during lunch because he lived just up

530
00:44:45.760 --> 00:44:48.800
the road, and I was borrowing the bicycle which I

531
00:44:48.800 --> 00:44:53.639
think my stepmum used to use, and it was a

532
00:44:53.679 --> 00:44:59.960
girl's bike. Ah, did you just say girl's bike? Yeah?

533
00:45:00.199 --> 00:45:02.960
And there still are girls bikes you can buy. They

534
00:45:03.000 --> 00:45:07.280
still do exist, believe or not. I've had this conversation before.

535
00:45:07.519 --> 00:45:12.199
I don't understand, right, why are girls bikes so much

536
00:45:12.239 --> 00:45:21.519
more comfortable than men's bikes. I haven't got that crossbar

537
00:45:21.679 --> 00:45:24.639
thing that you have to like get your foot all

538
00:45:24.679 --> 00:45:33.039
the way over. I don't. It's like, why just a

539
00:45:33.159 --> 00:45:35.400
nice so you can get you she better put your

540
00:45:35.400 --> 00:45:40.559
foot over to the other pedal easily. Why does it

541
00:45:40.599 --> 00:45:44.199
have to be a struggle. So I liked that bike,

542
00:45:44.400 --> 00:45:46.440
and it had a basket in the front, and the

543
00:45:46.519 --> 00:45:55.719
saddle was comfy, so all three things that my previous

544
00:45:55.760 --> 00:46:05.840
bike did not have a comfortable saddle before I had

545
00:46:05.840 --> 00:46:11.519
this saddle. He used to Basically, it was quite in

546
00:46:11.639 --> 00:46:20.639
true several times, very spiky, very thin and difficult to

547
00:46:20.639 --> 00:46:26.440
get my leg over it. And it didn't have us

548
00:46:26.559 --> 00:46:29.719
like a basket at the front. I suppose the only

549
00:46:29.800 --> 00:46:34.000
other difference for this is it was pink. So I

550
00:46:34.039 --> 00:46:36.960
was going backwards and forwards, and it took about six

551
00:46:37.079 --> 00:46:40.800
minutes to get there and get back, well to get there,

552
00:46:40.960 --> 00:46:44.800
and you know, either side of the journey. So I

553
00:46:44.800 --> 00:46:49.880
would leave about seven minutes to the hour to get

554
00:46:49.880 --> 00:46:56.840
home to get to work, which wasn't really ideal, but anyway,

555
00:46:56.880 --> 00:47:00.480
I'd go back, so i'd have forty minutes. It's out

556
00:47:00.480 --> 00:47:05.840
of the hour, and I had to watch Neighbors on TV.

557
00:47:06.760 --> 00:47:11.199
I'd get myself a sandwich, maybe a cup of tea

558
00:47:11.239 --> 00:47:14.840
I don't remember, and then i'd go back. So it

559
00:47:14.960 --> 00:47:21.239
got me out of the place, which was nice. So

560
00:47:22.199 --> 00:47:34.840
how did I end up? I just closed the window

561
00:47:34.880 --> 00:47:40.320
because it was excessively loud. I hope that that will

562
00:47:41.920 --> 00:47:47.960
keep some of the noise out. Oh where was I? Okay,

563
00:47:48.199 --> 00:47:51.480
so I'm working in this shop. I'm trying to get

564
00:47:51.480 --> 00:47:55.400
back to the movie question. Wow, this is a long

565
00:47:55.440 --> 00:47:58.039
way around the streets, isn't it to get back to that?

566
00:48:02.039 --> 00:48:08.440
So what happened is I got on pretty well with

567
00:48:08.480 --> 00:48:13.840
the manager or the manager is rather or the managers was, yeah,

568
00:48:13.840 --> 00:48:17.920
I was. I got mald with her, and she offered

569
00:48:17.960 --> 00:48:24.039
me to rent a room upstairs. Because she being a manager,

570
00:48:24.400 --> 00:48:28.880
she had the flat upstairs, so she offered me to

571
00:48:28.960 --> 00:48:33.559
rent me a room up there. And I think part

572
00:48:33.559 --> 00:48:35.239
of the reason was so that i'd be on time

573
00:48:35.280 --> 00:48:40.000
for work, so because I would be late a little bit,

574
00:48:40.000 --> 00:48:43.360
I need a few minutes. But I thought, yeah, it's

575
00:48:43.440 --> 00:48:45.519
quite good because then I can just go upstairs during

576
00:48:45.519 --> 00:48:48.800
my break and being with my dad was only ever

577
00:48:48.880 --> 00:48:53.559
temporary anyway, so it's just yeah, suited me, so I

578
00:48:53.639 --> 00:48:57.960
moved upstairs. It was quite good. Actually, at times she

579
00:48:58.079 --> 00:49:00.840
was a bit noisy because she was really into CBE radio,

580
00:49:02.039 --> 00:49:12.920
So all night all of hers over over. Do you copy?

581
00:49:13.000 --> 00:49:16.239
Do you copy all that stuff? Whatever? The CB radio

582
00:49:16.360 --> 00:49:21.000
thing is very loud, and I don't know how she

583
00:49:21.039 --> 00:49:22.519
managed to get up in the morning because she didn't

584
00:49:22.519 --> 00:49:29.559
seem to sleep. She was talking to men, very popular,

585
00:49:31.000 --> 00:49:36.280
and it was nice. She had a lovely living room

586
00:49:36.679 --> 00:49:40.239
kitchen she'd cook on a Sunday and sometimes I'd have

587
00:49:40.239 --> 00:49:43.239
a meal, and it was quite nice. I was kind

588
00:49:43.239 --> 00:49:45.239
of left alone to do what I wanted, and I

589
00:49:45.239 --> 00:49:50.239
had my own TV in my room. I didn't really

590
00:49:50.320 --> 00:49:53.920
get involved in her life, but we gone, well, you know,

591
00:49:54.320 --> 00:49:57.639
we did got all right, and I'd go she'd drive.

592
00:49:57.719 --> 00:49:59.920
She had a car, so she'd drive me to KFC

593
00:50:00.079 --> 00:50:07.199
sometimes and she wanted she wanted to get something to eat,

594
00:50:08.000 --> 00:50:13.480
so I'd go with her and get myself for something. Yeah,

595
00:50:13.760 --> 00:50:18.920
it was okay. And I made friends with some of

596
00:50:18.960 --> 00:50:22.199
her friends, and yeah, so it's okay. Anyway, I said

597
00:50:22.199 --> 00:50:27.119
that a lot. Haven't know. So I'm at work. It's

598
00:50:27.159 --> 00:50:34.119
really good at singing as well. And I did stay

599
00:50:34.119 --> 00:50:36.360
friends with for quite a long time, even after what

600
00:50:36.480 --> 00:50:44.719
happens next happened. So it was weird because I'm at work.

601
00:50:44.920 --> 00:50:53.639
There's only me her one other person that was the

602
00:50:53.760 --> 00:50:59.000
manager who was like the assistant manager, but she didn't

603
00:50:59.039 --> 00:51:02.719
work full time, I don't think, And there was a

604
00:51:02.760 --> 00:51:05.639
couple of part time staff and me, so I was

605
00:51:05.679 --> 00:51:09.440
only I was the only full time staff member. And

606
00:51:09.440 --> 00:51:12.880
then the other lady who is the assistant manager. I

607
00:51:12.880 --> 00:51:17.239
think she did like by thirty hours a week or

608
00:51:17.239 --> 00:51:20.119
something because she was a grandparent. Two was lovely. She

609
00:51:20.280 --> 00:51:22.800
was to think. Her name was Brenda, and she gave

610
00:51:22.920 --> 00:51:27.360
me a Michael Jackson album, The Bad Not Bad Thriller.

611
00:51:28.159 --> 00:51:32.199
She was lovely. I really liked her. So technically you

612
00:51:32.239 --> 00:51:37.119
could say this was quite a successful job because I

613
00:51:37.199 --> 00:51:41.519
got on well with the assistant manager. I became pretty

614
00:51:41.519 --> 00:51:44.920
good friends with the part time worker. We had a

615
00:51:44.920 --> 00:51:46.639
little bit of a conflict at the beginning, but that

616
00:51:46.719 --> 00:51:51.079
was just me. That's how I made friends. And then

617
00:51:51.239 --> 00:51:53.719
we became friends. And he was like a younger than

618
00:51:53.719 --> 00:51:58.800
me or something, and the manager I was living with her.

619
00:51:59.199 --> 00:52:02.599
So it was kind of quite a good set up, really,

620
00:52:04.280 --> 00:52:09.079
and my job was very secure if I wanted to

621
00:52:09.119 --> 00:52:15.119
stay there. Now. The area manager was called mister Cook.

622
00:52:15.360 --> 00:52:17.599
I don't know why I remember this, but it was

623
00:52:17.679 --> 00:52:21.920
like a troll. It was like a I had to

624
00:52:21.960 --> 00:52:24.760
explain it, you know, like something that lived under a bridge.

625
00:52:24.800 --> 00:52:29.199
It was like that. Just he talked like this mean

626
00:52:31.480 --> 00:52:35.239
he didn't like me. Perhaps I shouldn't have told him

627
00:52:35.360 --> 00:52:37.840
what he sounded like and did an impression of him

628
00:52:37.880 --> 00:52:39.920
in front of him. Perhaps that's why I didn't like me,

629
00:52:41.039 --> 00:52:43.199
But that's why I did the impression, because he wasn't

630
00:52:43.280 --> 00:52:47.800
very friendly, and I think he all but said pretty

631
00:52:47.880 --> 00:52:49.840
much the only reason I was still there is because

632
00:52:49.920 --> 00:52:54.199
the manager wanted me to stay, and I think she

633
00:52:54.239 --> 00:52:56.199
only wanted me to stay because she was getting rint

634
00:52:57.239 --> 00:52:59.159
so you know, it was kind of one of those.

635
00:53:00.280 --> 00:53:03.960
But he said no, he wasn't pleased with my progression.

636
00:53:06.639 --> 00:53:09.199
So even though the manager wanted me to stay, she

637
00:53:09.280 --> 00:53:11.599
was clearly not giving me a very good appraise or

638
00:53:11.599 --> 00:53:16.840
wish you so. Plus I had a bit of an

639
00:53:16.840 --> 00:53:19.480
attitude on me as well back then. Hard to believe,

640
00:53:20.280 --> 00:53:24.599
but I was a little bit rude. By rude, I

641
00:53:24.639 --> 00:53:28.360
don't mean rude, rude, but I didn't play the game.

642
00:53:29.360 --> 00:53:33.559
I didn't suck up to anyone ever at any point.

643
00:53:36.079 --> 00:53:39.880
I was an extra polite to people just because they

644
00:53:39.920 --> 00:53:46.159
were in a higher position, because at that time, everybody

645
00:53:46.960 --> 00:53:49.719
was at a higher position than me. In pretty much

646
00:53:49.719 --> 00:53:52.559
every job I've ever had, I've never been in a

647
00:53:52.639 --> 00:53:58.000
high position. So I just treat people the same way

648
00:53:58.000 --> 00:54:01.119
as I treat anyone else. I like to think, you know,

649
00:54:01.280 --> 00:54:06.000
fairly respectfully. But as soon as they don't with me

650
00:54:08.119 --> 00:54:14.320
back then, anyway, it would be gloves are off. So

651
00:54:14.519 --> 00:54:22.280
you know, if I was when I was fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty,

652
00:54:22.440 --> 00:54:25.480
twenty one, twenty two, twenty three, twenty four, twenty five,

653
00:54:26.000 --> 00:54:29.840
twenty six, twenty seven, twenty eight, twenty nine, thirty thirty one,

654
00:54:30.039 --> 00:54:33.639
thirty two, thirty three, thirty four, thirty five, thirty six,

655
00:54:33.679 --> 00:54:41.199
thirty seven, thirty eight, thirty nine, forty pretty much until

656
00:54:41.239 --> 00:54:46.280
I was no longer working. Once I stopped working, I

657
00:54:46.320 --> 00:54:54.519
was a much better employee, much more patient and hmm wow.

658
00:54:56.400 --> 00:54:58.000
But if people were nice to me, I'd be nice

659
00:54:58.039 --> 00:55:01.840
to them. As soon as someone kind of turned and

660
00:55:01.880 --> 00:55:07.119
they were rude, I'd like, okay. And I think one

661
00:55:07.159 --> 00:55:10.960
of the hardest things were always as I got older,

662
00:55:13.159 --> 00:55:18.840
my bosses became younger. So I'm in my thirties mid

663
00:55:19.000 --> 00:55:22.920
thirties and my boss was like twenty one, which wasn't

664
00:55:22.960 --> 00:55:25.199
an issue because I really liked him. He was one

665
00:55:25.239 --> 00:55:28.880
of the nicest people I've ever known. But I had

666
00:55:28.880 --> 00:55:31.320
a previous boss who was like twenty two when I

667
00:55:31.320 --> 00:55:35.039
was thirty one. Okain, a nice bloke, but he was

668
00:55:35.519 --> 00:55:38.039
just he didn't seem to know what he was doing.

669
00:55:39.480 --> 00:55:42.519
His answer to any question was what do you think

670
00:55:42.599 --> 00:55:49.079
the answer is? It's like, okay, that's not a way

671
00:55:49.119 --> 00:55:57.119
to answer a question. What do you think the answer is? Whore?

672
00:55:57.159 --> 00:56:01.280
There's a moth inside here since this morning. I don't

673
00:56:01.280 --> 00:56:03.039
know how I got in, probably through the window because

674
00:56:03.079 --> 00:56:08.079
the window was open. That's a weird question. Seems to

675
00:56:08.119 --> 00:56:13.320
be interested in my shirt. But my shirts are clean

676
00:56:13.599 --> 00:56:17.920
that moths, don't you know what I mean. It's only

677
00:56:17.960 --> 00:56:20.960
been on the hangar for a few years. I don't

678
00:56:20.960 --> 00:56:25.360
think the moth would have got to it. So, yeah,

679
00:56:25.519 --> 00:56:32.000
I lived in this place upstairs. So I go to

680
00:56:32.079 --> 00:56:40.320
work one day. I'm just in there, just a normal day,

681
00:56:36.639 --> 00:56:46.199
and yeah, I remember the So I'm standing there. Two

682
00:56:46.239 --> 00:56:49.400
people come in, a man and a woman and stand

683
00:56:49.400 --> 00:56:56.480
at the counter, the assistant manager. So the manager's standing

684
00:56:56.559 --> 00:57:01.079
beyond the counter, who I lived with if the assistant

685
00:57:01.079 --> 00:57:05.000
manager walks up to the door, closes it and locks

686
00:57:05.039 --> 00:57:09.280
it and puts closed sign up and tells me to

687
00:57:09.320 --> 00:57:14.400
go into the door into the staff room. And I'm

688
00:57:14.400 --> 00:57:17.880
walking in there and say, but I've got my my

689
00:57:17.880 --> 00:57:20.039
my figure roll was in my can of coke. And

690
00:57:20.119 --> 00:57:25.679
she said, this isn't a break. I said, Okay, we're

691
00:57:25.719 --> 00:57:27.119
just going into the other room. So I went into

692
00:57:27.159 --> 00:57:31.639
the storage room and to the staff room. I had

693
00:57:31.760 --> 00:57:36.840
no idea what's going on, It's like, I asked her

694
00:57:36.920 --> 00:57:43.639
and she wouldn't tell me. And then I was in

695
00:57:43.679 --> 00:57:50.639
there for about an hour, maybe less, but about an hour,

696
00:57:54.320 --> 00:57:58.079
and then the what's the name that the assistant manager

697
00:57:58.119 --> 00:58:04.599
came in if I think that, yeah, maybe someone else,

698
00:58:04.639 --> 00:58:07.599
but I think she came in and she said what happened?

699
00:58:07.760 --> 00:58:14.639
Told me what happened. So the manager, the people at

700
00:58:14.679 --> 00:58:23.800
the front desk were undercover, undercover police and the co

701
00:58:24.000 --> 00:58:28.599
op thought that someone was stealing money, so they set

702
00:58:28.679 --> 00:58:31.719
up the manager. They set her up. They basically gave

703
00:58:31.800 --> 00:58:35.440
us some marked money and when they came back in,

704
00:58:37.480 --> 00:58:39.360
they searched her and she had that money in her

705
00:58:39.360 --> 00:58:47.639
pocket as like twenty could or something. And as I

706
00:58:47.639 --> 00:58:49.840
said earlier, I still stayed friends with her. I was

707
00:58:49.880 --> 00:58:53.320
living with her, and I still stayed friends with her

708
00:58:53.360 --> 00:58:56.679
for years afterwards. So you know, he made a mistake

709
00:58:57.880 --> 00:59:06.360
and she lost a job or the spot, which was

710
00:59:06.400 --> 00:59:08.519
not good for me. It wasn't good for her either,

711
00:59:08.559 --> 00:59:11.199
to be honest. I mean she did get another job,

712
00:59:16.280 --> 00:59:22.039
but it was I was kind of with her during

713
00:59:22.039 --> 00:59:26.320
the process, during the whole because I think it went

714
00:59:26.360 --> 00:59:29.400
to court quite quickly and she I think she ended

715
00:59:29.480 --> 00:59:34.360
up getting suspended sentence or something like that. They couldn't

716
00:59:34.400 --> 00:59:38.360
prove previous money going missing or anything like that, so

717
00:59:38.800 --> 00:59:40.440
all they had proof of was just that one to

718
00:59:40.480 --> 00:59:50.840
twenty pound note the manager when it's the assistant. I

719
00:59:50.880 --> 00:59:54.039
said to the assistant manager, are you now going to

720
00:59:54.039 --> 01:00:00.239
be the new manager? And she said no, I'm don't

721
01:00:00.239 --> 01:00:04.159
do enough hours. I couldn't do that. I said, oh,

722
01:00:04.280 --> 01:00:06.639
and she's shouting. Straight away. She came back and me said,

723
01:00:06.800 --> 01:00:09.440
it's not going to be you either. I said, I

724
01:00:09.079 --> 01:00:11.280
don't know. He said, no, you didn't. You thought it

725
01:00:11.320 --> 01:00:13.199
was going to be you. I said no, I didn't.

726
01:00:13.559 --> 01:00:15.119
He said, yes she did. I could see a look

727
01:00:15.119 --> 01:00:17.079
on your face. You started looking around all the cakes

728
01:00:17.119 --> 01:00:21.800
she could buy with the extra money. I thought, wow,

729
01:00:22.079 --> 01:00:25.440
she could read my mind, because back then that's what

730
01:00:25.480 --> 01:00:30.199
I would do with money. I pay Rise more cakes

731
01:00:30.199 --> 01:00:35.440
and biscuits. That's my mentality back then. It hasn't changed

732
01:00:35.440 --> 01:00:43.039
that much anyway. What happened next wasn't so good because

733
01:00:44.119 --> 01:00:46.599
we got a new lady. Well, it was just that

734
01:00:46.679 --> 01:00:53.239
mohammed to be a thing. We got. We got someone nice,

735
01:00:53.320 --> 01:00:55.800
came in for a week or two, and then we

736
01:00:55.880 --> 01:00:58.960
had this woman comes along and she didn't like me

737
01:01:00.719 --> 01:01:11.480
for some reason, and we didn't get on, and yeah,

738
01:01:11.880 --> 01:01:20.320
we really didn't get on, and in the end I

739
01:01:20.360 --> 01:01:27.840
didn't like her so much. I left. But in the

740
01:01:27.920 --> 01:01:34.039
meantime I was still living upstairs, so I think what's

741
01:01:34.039 --> 01:01:36.760
the name the manager who went upstairs. They had to

742
01:01:36.760 --> 01:01:44.320
give her three months notice to move out, eviction notice.

743
01:01:44.800 --> 01:01:47.920
So that was the very first time I'd ever been evicted.

744
01:01:48.800 --> 01:01:51.679
So that wasn't me specifically, but it was. I was

745
01:01:51.760 --> 01:01:53.719
part of the eviction because I was homeless as well

746
01:01:53.719 --> 01:01:59.719
when she got kicked out, So that was during this

747
01:02:00.559 --> 01:02:05.599
I think we I started working, so I moved in

748
01:02:05.639 --> 01:02:17.880
there probably June maybe, and I moved out possibly October,

749
01:02:20.079 --> 01:02:23.920
maybe November, because at that point I'd already got a

750
01:02:23.960 --> 01:02:27.760
new job in the September, because I had to wait

751
01:02:27.800 --> 01:02:30.079
till I was eighteen years old before I applied for

752
01:02:30.159 --> 01:02:35.440
this factory job, and I was working there, and i'd

753
01:02:35.480 --> 01:02:37.760
been there for at least a month maybe two before

754
01:02:37.800 --> 01:02:44.039
I moved out. So yeah, so this this whole kind

755
01:02:44.039 --> 01:02:54.760
of police thing must have happened July, August, September something

756
01:02:54.840 --> 01:02:59.760
like that. Anyway, in the meantime, I think it was

757
01:02:59.800 --> 01:03:03.199
before four before she and while she was still working there,

758
01:03:04.559 --> 01:03:08.599
I was sitting in my room. I had a TV on.

759
01:03:08.679 --> 01:03:10.599
I had a little black and white port or TV,

760
01:03:12.719 --> 01:03:15.239
just watching TV. You know, it was three channels back then.

761
01:03:17.119 --> 01:03:21.559
No four channels sorry, BBC one, BBC two, ITV and

762
01:03:21.679 --> 01:03:30.800
Channel four. And it was either Saturday afternoon or a

763
01:03:31.039 --> 01:03:34.159
Sunday afternoon. I couldn't tell you which one it was

764
01:03:34.159 --> 01:03:38.159
one of them. And I'm just sitting up in a

765
01:03:38.159 --> 01:03:43.119
bed watching a TV and this movie is on and

766
01:03:43.159 --> 01:03:46.440
I've never seen it before. I didn't realize it was

767
01:03:46.440 --> 01:03:48.480
a black and white because the TV was in black

768
01:03:48.519 --> 01:03:56.519
and white. And before anyone says, how old are you?

769
01:03:56.519 --> 01:03:59.079
You're seventeen years old and you're watching a black and

770
01:03:59.079 --> 01:04:02.679
white TV. No, we did have color TVs back then.

771
01:04:02.760 --> 01:04:06.519
I just couldn't afford one. So I had a black

772
01:04:06.559 --> 01:04:12.800
and white TV and I or maybe I could afford one.

773
01:04:12.840 --> 01:04:15.400
I don't know, probably could have done. I don't know

774
01:04:15.400 --> 01:04:20.199
how much they was back when. I know I was

775
01:04:20.199 --> 01:04:26.840
earning sixty pounds a week from working in the co op,

776
01:04:28.519 --> 01:04:36.960
or sixty two pounds something like that. Yeah, this is

777
01:04:37.039 --> 01:04:40.079
weird because when I was fifteen, I was earning sixty

778
01:04:40.079 --> 01:04:44.280
pounds a week working in the chip shop. When I

779
01:04:44.320 --> 01:04:48.679
was fifteen for the first few months up till September,

780
01:04:48.719 --> 01:04:52.559
So from like April to September, I was getting sixty

781
01:04:52.559 --> 01:04:55.920
pounds a week. Then I went onto the Hits scheme,

782
01:04:55.920 --> 01:04:58.719
which is the youth training scheme, and my money went

783
01:04:58.760 --> 01:05:02.519
down to twenty seven pound thirty a week for the

784
01:05:02.559 --> 01:05:06.559
first year. The second year was thirty five pounds a week.

785
01:05:08.639 --> 01:05:10.599
So when I started working a co op and I

786
01:05:10.639 --> 01:05:13.239
was getting sixty pound a week, it was like a

787
01:05:13.320 --> 01:05:18.760
huge amount of money. Again, still not very a good

788
01:05:18.760 --> 01:05:22.440
amount of money, but you know, it was okay. I

789
01:05:22.440 --> 01:05:24.880
was probably paying twenty five pounds a week for rent

790
01:05:28.239 --> 01:05:30.679
something like that. I can't i'd have to I don't know,

791
01:05:31.400 --> 01:05:34.800
something like that. Probably, I think the average room was

792
01:05:34.840 --> 01:05:42.960
about twenty five thirty pounds a week and then but

793
01:05:43.000 --> 01:05:47.280
I didn't have to pay any rent once my what's

794
01:05:47.320 --> 01:05:51.840
the name my landlady, Well, she wasn't really my land

795
01:05:51.880 --> 01:05:53.760
I did antymore was she because she was being a victive,

796
01:05:53.800 --> 01:05:58.079
but and she didn't work for the company anymore once

797
01:05:58.920 --> 01:06:01.440
she lost her job job, she didn't have to pay

798
01:06:01.440 --> 01:06:06.280
any rent because she was I think I think she

799
01:06:06.360 --> 01:06:07.960
got the flat with the job, but I think she's

800
01:06:08.039 --> 01:06:14.960
also paying rent. I don't know either that or I

801
01:06:15.079 --> 01:06:20.119
just stopped paying rent. That might have been the situation.

802
01:06:20.679 --> 01:06:23.039
It's like, well, you don't work downstairs anymore, I'm not

803
01:06:23.039 --> 01:06:27.239
paying rent. And then I left and I didn't have

804
01:06:27.239 --> 01:06:31.599
any money coming anyway, other than a couple of part

805
01:06:31.599 --> 01:06:34.960
time jobs cleaning, yeah, and a part a couple of

806
01:06:34.960 --> 01:06:40.159
part times jobs cleaning one in the morning, one in

807
01:06:40.199 --> 01:06:45.639
the evening, so that that gave me enough to like eat,

808
01:06:45.960 --> 01:06:52.360
you know. And then I got a job in this

809
01:06:52.440 --> 01:07:01.920
other company, so I h the timescale is not quite

810
01:07:01.920 --> 01:07:03.800
working out. But anyway, I did get a job in

811
01:07:03.840 --> 01:07:08.239
this maybe I do only be now a month before

812
01:07:08.280 --> 01:07:10.880
we had to get out. And then I found a

813
01:07:10.960 --> 01:07:15.800
room on the seafront. And the weird thing about that

814
01:07:15.840 --> 01:07:21.360
this lady that took over the manager's job. I left

815
01:07:21.360 --> 01:07:24.000
the job because of her, because she was I just

816
01:07:24.000 --> 01:07:34.320
didn't get on with her. The irony is this the

817
01:07:34.440 --> 01:07:36.960
room I moved into after I was evicted from the

818
01:07:36.960 --> 01:07:41.599
flap of the co op. I didn't really like living there,

819
01:07:41.719 --> 01:07:47.000
and I moved And the room I moved into was

820
01:07:47.039 --> 01:07:50.320
a house owned by the lady that was the manager

821
01:07:50.519 --> 01:07:54.960
of the co op, the new manager, so I literally

822
01:07:54.960 --> 01:07:59.719
lived rented rooms of two managers of the same co

823
01:07:59.840 --> 01:08:04.360
op at different times, except the second one owned her

824
01:08:04.400 --> 01:08:10.199
house and she had it as a I don't know,

825
01:08:10.440 --> 01:08:15.159
like lodging's thing. And I moved in there when I

826
01:08:15.199 --> 01:08:20.920
was eighteen, and I lived there. That was at the

827
01:08:21.079 --> 01:08:28.399
end of the end of nineteen eighty eight, so probably

828
01:08:29.279 --> 01:08:37.000
I was definitely in that house in December till probably

829
01:08:38.239 --> 01:08:44.800
February eighty nine. The weird thing about it is I

830
01:08:44.880 --> 01:08:48.359
got really well with it then, so outside of work,

831
01:08:48.399 --> 01:08:50.760
I got on a k over. Inside work, we didn't

832
01:08:50.760 --> 01:08:55.880
get on so well, so I just turned up at

833
01:08:55.880 --> 01:09:00.239
the end. It was weird, you know. I phoned up

834
01:09:00.399 --> 01:09:03.720
about a place, so going I come and a look

835
01:09:03.760 --> 01:09:07.239
at the room. Person on the phone said, yeah, turn up,

836
01:09:07.279 --> 01:09:09.279
and she answered the door, and I'm thinking, oh, God,

837
01:09:09.359 --> 01:09:12.800
don't tell me you live here as well. I thought

838
01:09:12.840 --> 01:09:15.760
she might rent a room, didn't know she owned the place.

839
01:09:17.479 --> 01:09:22.800
And I suppose because maybe because I was making her money,

840
01:09:23.000 --> 01:09:25.000
you know, I was paying her mortgage. I suppose wasn't

841
01:09:25.159 --> 01:09:30.680
me and the other five people that lived there, so

842
01:09:30.680 --> 01:09:33.479
she viewed me in a different way. I was no

843
01:09:33.560 --> 01:09:37.119
longer a fawn in her side that maybe she thought of.

844
01:09:37.520 --> 01:09:45.520
I was before hmm, yeah, that didn't work too well either,

845
01:09:45.680 --> 01:09:48.760
but so, yeah, so that was one of the many

846
01:09:48.800 --> 01:09:52.600
places I lived. But I just remember that movie watching

847
01:09:52.840 --> 01:09:55.079
It's a Wonderful Life on that black and white TV

848
01:09:57.359 --> 01:09:59.399
and it was one of the first movies that were

849
01:09:59.439 --> 01:10:07.840
really had an effect on me and really had I

850
01:10:07.880 --> 01:10:21.119
don't want to say spiritual, but it had emotional maybe. Yeah,

851
01:10:21.159 --> 01:10:25.840
so thank you for that. Hope. It's only taken me

852
01:10:25.880 --> 01:10:28.359
three hours to answer that one. So the next question

853
01:10:28.359 --> 01:10:34.760
I've got is Isabelle ooh, it says out there, ooh.

854
01:10:35.039 --> 01:10:40.560
Maybe this has been asked before, but what dog? What

855
01:10:40.720 --> 01:10:45.359
kind of dog is Vinnie? Also where are some of

856
01:10:45.359 --> 01:10:50.560
your listeners from? Oh, okay, that's going to involve me

857
01:10:50.640 --> 01:11:00.760
looking at the stats. Yeah, so Vinnie is a little

858
01:11:00.840 --> 01:11:06.279
red Jack Russell, which was I suppose kind of like

859
01:11:06.600 --> 01:11:10.399
is it a Passon's dog or something? And yeah, so

860
01:11:10.439 --> 01:11:16.399
he's only a little thing. It's very noisy at times, screeches,

861
01:11:18.359 --> 01:11:21.840
hates being picked up. Apparently he didn't used to when

862
01:11:21.840 --> 01:11:24.199
he was first born, and then he just took a

863
01:11:24.239 --> 01:11:29.279
dislike to it and been like that ever since. So

864
01:11:29.399 --> 01:11:33.199
I don't know, maybe someone dropped in, maybe you know,

865
01:11:33.279 --> 01:11:35.640
by accident. Maybe because he had kids in his house

866
01:11:35.680 --> 01:11:37.760
when he was born, so maybe one of them picked

867
01:11:37.840 --> 01:11:41.439
him up and dropped him by accident and that frightened

868
01:11:41.520 --> 01:11:44.760
him into being picked up, or maybe this swung him

869
01:11:44.800 --> 01:11:49.039
around or somebody, you know, little kids. So I don't know.

870
01:11:49.399 --> 01:11:56.239
I really don't know it just be guesswork. Where am

871
01:11:56.279 --> 01:12:11.279
my listeners from? This goes into two questions because revel

872
01:12:11.560 --> 01:12:16.159
Reveal asks she adds to this question love the idea

873
01:12:16.239 --> 01:12:20.359
about where everyone is from. Very interesting to see how

874
01:12:20.359 --> 01:12:25.800
many cultures are represented by the listeners. I think Jason

875
01:12:25.920 --> 01:12:30.960
has touched himself, and I've touched on this before, though

876
01:12:31.720 --> 01:12:37.000
I have. I'm happy to go over again because stats

877
01:12:37.000 --> 01:12:38.600
are the thing that I love most in the whole

878
01:12:38.640 --> 01:12:42.560
wide world, the whole world. Let me have a look.

879
01:12:43.920 --> 01:12:47.279
Are based it on the last year, So I'm not

880
01:12:47.319 --> 01:12:49.439
going to go through the stats as in how many.

881
01:12:49.920 --> 01:12:57.199
I just go through the stats as in geolocation. Okay,

882
01:12:58.159 --> 01:13:10.640
so I've got countries here, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen,

883
01:13:11.640 --> 01:13:18.840
twenty two, twenty five, So it's twenty five different countries.

884
01:13:18.920 --> 01:13:22.680
This is on my spreaker. I'm also on sound Glad

885
01:13:22.720 --> 01:13:27.720
as well, so they could be more so. According to this,

886
01:13:28.119 --> 01:13:34.720
there's twenty five different countries. The United States is number one,

887
01:13:35.159 --> 01:13:38.720
always number one, always has been since I've been doing this.

888
01:13:39.520 --> 01:13:42.119
So the most listeners that I have ever got on

889
01:13:42.199 --> 01:13:46.920
any podcast over you know, nineteen years is nearly twenty

890
01:13:46.960 --> 01:13:54.840
years is the United States. Second is United Kingdom, which

891
01:13:54.880 --> 01:14:00.439
is where I live. It's kind of stayed the same much,

892
01:14:02.560 --> 01:14:07.199
I would say, to start with United States, there still

893
01:14:07.279 --> 01:14:09.640
is a lot more. I'm getting more than double the

894
01:14:09.720 --> 01:14:12.720
amount in America than I am in my own country,

895
01:14:14.079 --> 01:14:17.760
but it used to be a higher percentage, So the

896
01:14:17.760 --> 01:14:20.560
amount of people listening to me now in my own

897
01:14:20.600 --> 01:14:22.680
country there's a lot more than it used to be.

898
01:14:25.640 --> 01:14:33.520
Number three is Australia, which is pretty much been a

899
01:14:33.680 --> 01:14:40.119
kind of standard over the years. Canada is number four,

900
01:14:42.880 --> 01:14:56.680
Ireland it's number five, Weeden is number six, Denmark is

901
01:14:57.079 --> 01:15:06.399
number seven. New Zealand is number eight. Now, there was

902
01:15:06.439 --> 01:15:08.880
a time when New Zealand would be up there with

903
01:15:09.359 --> 01:15:15.479
Canada and Australia and Ireland. I don't think it's I've

904
01:15:15.479 --> 01:15:17.720
got less people in New Zealand listening. It's just I've

905
01:15:17.720 --> 01:15:23.640
got more people in Sweden and Denmark, Spain. Then I've

906
01:15:23.680 --> 01:15:42.800
got France, Norway, Germany, United Arab Emirates, the Netherlands, Chechia, Iceland, Iraq,

907
01:15:44.680 --> 01:16:04.920
South Africa, Turkey, Mexico, India, Belgium, Malta, Israel, and Singapore.

908
01:16:06.600 --> 01:16:14.079
They're the ones listed. So I don't I mean, I

909
01:16:14.920 --> 01:16:19.520
guess I'm guessing that people only listen if they can

910
01:16:20.800 --> 01:16:25.439
understand English. I guess it makes sense that would be

911
01:16:25.479 --> 01:16:30.600
the case, wouldn't it. But there might be people in

912
01:16:30.640 --> 01:16:36.039
these other countries that are maybe originally from England, or

913
01:16:36.199 --> 01:16:39.560
maybe people listening in one Ano. There are people listening

914
01:16:39.560 --> 01:16:46.880
in the second language, not their birth language, their birth

915
01:16:47.039 --> 01:16:51.760
tongue as it were. So I'm grateful. I'm grateful for

916
01:16:51.840 --> 01:16:57.840
anyone that listens. Everyone. It's amazing that anyone listens. Really

917
01:17:00.039 --> 01:17:02.680
didn't really say that should I, but I'm still amazed.

918
01:17:04.159 --> 01:17:09.000
It's why does anyone this than ever, I don't know.

919
01:17:11.159 --> 01:17:16.279
Let's see if it's changed over the last month, current

920
01:17:17.239 --> 01:17:22.520
last month, Let's see what the geolocation is more recently

921
01:17:22.600 --> 01:17:27.840
rather than just over the entire year. Ah, this is interesting.

922
01:17:30.520 --> 01:17:34.640
So the United States is the top, and it's still

923
01:17:34.680 --> 01:17:40.800
double what United Kingdom is. Then you've got Australia, Canada, Sweden,

924
01:17:42.159 --> 01:17:47.960
so one, two, three, fourth, Sweden's fifth. Now Ireland was

925
01:17:47.960 --> 01:17:51.319
fifth for the whole year, but Sweden's fifth more recently

926
01:17:51.840 --> 01:18:02.399
then Ireland, France, Denmark, Church New Zealand, United Arab Emirates, Somalia,

927
01:18:03.119 --> 01:18:06.439
so that wasn't on the overall year. One was a Spain,

928
01:18:06.880 --> 01:18:20.279
South Africa, Turkey, Iraq, Mexico, Finland, Malaysia, Greece, Belgium, Germany, Norway, Jordan, Algeria.

929
01:18:20.640 --> 01:18:23.319
So if I go by month, it breaks it down more.

930
01:18:23.560 --> 01:18:28.960
It shows more countries because I think what it is.

931
01:18:29.000 --> 01:18:31.680
If I go for like the whole year, it only

932
01:18:31.800 --> 01:18:36.680
shows it's limited to how many it kind of shows

933
01:18:36.720 --> 01:18:44.319
and says others. That makes sense, I say, last twelve months. Yeah,

934
01:18:45.359 --> 01:18:48.079
I mean there's there's a lot of others which it

935
01:18:48.079 --> 01:18:54.119
doesn't even mention. So it's four point five percent. So

936
01:18:54.239 --> 01:18:58.439
over the last year, four point five percent or just

937
01:18:58.560 --> 01:19:04.520
under five percent of my total listeners come from other

938
01:19:04.560 --> 01:19:11.279
countries than the ones that I already mentioned. So yeah,

939
01:19:11.439 --> 01:19:16.560
that's there's a lot of countries, probably pretty much every

940
01:19:16.600 --> 01:19:19.279
country in the world. I guess there might only be

941
01:19:19.319 --> 01:19:32.000
a few but still quite nice as far as where abouts,

942
01:19:33.920 --> 01:19:41.079
and you've got United States, there are one two three, four, five, six, seven,

943
01:19:41.199 --> 01:19:51.600
eight nine ten. Wow. These are regions are California, So Texas, Florida, Illinois,

944
01:19:51.920 --> 01:20:02.199
New York, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Arizona, North Carolina, New Jersey, Washington, Utah, Ohio,

945
01:20:03.279 --> 01:20:25.960
South Carolina, Massachusetts, Michigan, Indiana, Virginia, Oregon, Missouri, Connecticut, Minnesota, Colorado, Mississississippi, Maine, Montana,

946
01:20:25.960 --> 01:20:47.119
Wiconsin Georgia, Alabama, Kentucky, Tennessee, Iowa, Kansas, Alaska, Nevada, New Mexico, Delaware, Oklahoma, Louisiana,

947
01:20:47.159 --> 01:20:56.600
District of Columbia, New Hampshire, Idaho, Hawaii, ar Kansas, North Dakota,

948
01:20:57.319 --> 01:21:06.279
West Virginia, Nebraska, Rhode Island, Vermont, South Dakota, Wyoming, and

949
01:21:08.000 --> 01:21:12.520
others some others as well. So how many is that?

950
01:21:12.600 --> 01:21:16.880
One two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight nine ten

951
01:21:16.880 --> 01:21:24.000
outs in twenty, twenty two, twenty four, twenty six, twenty eight,

952
01:21:24.159 --> 01:21:30.319
thirty thirty two, fel thirty six eight forty fifty, it's

953
01:21:30.359 --> 01:21:39.279
like fifty. I mean, these are regions, not states, are they? It? States?

954
01:21:39.279 --> 01:21:46.680
All regions. So it's like one, two three four, five, six, ten,

955
01:21:47.760 --> 01:21:51.680
fifty six and two is only you? And if I

956
01:21:51.760 --> 01:21:56.279
have ten, six, twenty eight, twenty thirty, thirty two, thirty four,

957
01:21:56.479 --> 01:22:04.399
thirty six, thirty eight, forty forty two, forty six, forty eight,

958
01:22:05.239 --> 01:22:10.199
fifty fifty two, fifty four, fifty six, fifty seven, so

959
01:22:10.359 --> 01:22:20.439
fifty seven districts or regions. So I don't know how

960
01:22:20.439 --> 01:22:23.479
many states there is in so I thought I always

961
01:22:23.520 --> 01:22:26.760
every state. But California is a nice state, then is it?

962
01:22:27.199 --> 01:22:33.119
I don't know, but I'm confused. And then we can

963
01:22:33.159 --> 01:22:37.079
look in California and you've got Los Angeles, Nappa, Mountain View,

964
01:22:37.319 --> 01:22:47.079
San Jose, Sorry, San Jos, Woodland, Elk Grove, Fresno, Palm Desert, Richmond.

965
01:22:47.119 --> 01:22:51.960
There's a lot, it's a lot, a lot, lot, lot,

966
01:22:52.039 --> 01:22:59.640
lot lot Texas. How many in Texas, Dallas, North Richland Hills,

967
01:23:00.399 --> 01:23:11.520
San Antonio, Houston, Austin, Waxahatchie, Frisco, Legal City, Grapevine, Abilene.

968
01:23:12.600 --> 01:23:18.840
I mean, it's a lot, a lot of different places.

969
01:23:22.079 --> 01:23:26.760
If we go to United Kingdom, your England, Scotland, Wales,

970
01:23:26.880 --> 01:23:31.000
Northern Ireland, if we go to England, so England is

971
01:23:31.039 --> 01:23:42.960
the most. However, However, no, there's no however, So however,

972
01:23:43.840 --> 01:23:49.960
England is eighty five nearly eighty six percent out of

973
01:23:50.000 --> 01:23:55.079
the United Kingdom, Scotland is seven zero point three six percent,

974
01:23:56.359 --> 01:24:00.319
Wales is three point two eight percent, Northern Ireland zero

975
01:24:00.359 --> 01:24:03.560
point four six percent, and other is two point ninety four.

976
01:24:04.560 --> 01:24:08.279
So that could be the Falkland Islands or Isle of

977
01:24:08.279 --> 01:24:13.840
White Island, man Jersey. Maybe I don't know places like that.

978
01:24:15.920 --> 01:24:19.880
I can't think of any other places. So England, there

979
01:24:19.960 --> 01:24:26.560
is sid Cup. See if you from any of these places,

980
01:24:26.680 --> 01:24:33.720
contact me. Let me know sid Cup, Bristol. So this

981
01:24:33.840 --> 01:24:37.920
is this is over last year. This is the top

982
01:24:41.840 --> 01:24:46.680
places in England. Like you know, that's the most viewed

983
01:24:48.720 --> 01:24:51.960
sid cups Number one. I don't know where sid Cup

984
01:24:52.079 --> 01:24:57.920
is Bristol number two. I've never been to Bristol, Newcastle

985
01:24:58.000 --> 01:25:04.199
upon Tyne used to live there, Birmingham, So hello to

986
01:25:04.239 --> 01:25:07.079
everyone in Sidcup and Bristol and Newcastle on Tyme and

987
01:25:07.119 --> 01:25:16.960
Birmingham and all the other places I mentioned, Trowbridge, Hartleypool, Cambridge, Gosport,

Milton Keynes, Sheffield, Milton Keynes. Why did I say like that,

990
01:26:02.680 --> 01:26:07.439
Milton Keynes. It's very postur of me. Sheffield is Milton

991
01:26:07.520 --> 01:26:40.560
Keynes a very posh place to live? Sheffield, Hull, Croydon, Eastleigh, Oxford, Lee, Maidstone, Cramlington, Liverpool, Swindon, Wembley, Luton, Nottingham, Kensington, Solihull, Newham, Watford, Chorley, Eastbourne, Wallingford.

992
01:26:42.319 --> 01:26:47.039
And then thirty three point two percent is in other places,

993
01:26:47.640 --> 01:26:50.640
which is quite a big amount. So basically there's a

994
01:26:50.680 --> 01:26:55.960
not enough room for them to cover everything. But Sidcup

995
01:26:56.279 --> 01:26:59.119
is number one for the year, and so is Bristol.

996
01:27:01.359 --> 01:27:06.560
So if is anyone out there that's this mad in

997
01:27:06.600 --> 01:27:11.119
love with me, to just contact me, especially if you're human.

998
01:27:12.640 --> 01:27:14.880
Let's have a look what other thing. Let's say for

999
01:27:14.920 --> 01:27:19.479
the year. For the month, so let's say the last

1000
01:27:19.920 --> 01:27:24.760
last month for the youth for England, it's over luck,

1001
01:27:26.000 --> 01:27:30.079
so I'm going to see which one's the top oh

1002
01:27:30.760 --> 01:27:43.359
last month, the top one was Portsmouth, Wembley, Wallingford, Manchester, Croydon, Birmingham,

1003
01:27:43.880 --> 01:27:50.119
Newcastle upon Tyne, Sheffield, Camden. These are places, some of

1004
01:27:50.159 --> 01:27:52.960
them I've not mentioned before. These must have been those

1005
01:27:53.000 --> 01:28:07.000
other thirty three percent, And you got Gosford, Fulham, Bristol, Wandsworth, Witness, Hartleypool, Leeds, London,

1006
01:28:07.800 --> 01:28:17.640
lewish Ham, Leighton, Buzzard, Sutton, Bromley, Harrow. I wish I

1007
01:28:17.640 --> 01:28:20.439
could say Bromley and actually roll my tongue, but I'm not.

1008
01:28:20.479 --> 01:28:27.880
I'm just making my lips vibrate. Just It's a skill,

1009
01:28:27.960 --> 01:28:42.720
isn't it. I suppose in some ways Harrow, Nottingham, Sleeveord, Gloucester, Glockhouse, Gloucester, Gloucester,

1010
01:28:43.439 --> 01:28:58.000
Richmond Sausages, Rochester, Amisham, Brent, Redditch, Lowestoft, Saint Helen's Pete. Wow,

1011
01:28:58.119 --> 01:29:05.039
there's loads, isn't there? This is more than the other one. Wow, Petersfield, Whitney, Eastleigh, Ashford,

1012
01:29:05.439 --> 01:29:15.119
south Shields, Southampton, Walsall, City of Westminster, Windsor Swindon, Windsor

1013
01:29:15.720 --> 01:29:17.680
Does that mean members of the royal family are listening

1014
01:29:17.680 --> 01:29:26.079
to me? Hello, Your Highness, Thank you for listening. Wakefield, Corsham,

1015
01:29:26.880 --> 01:29:35.319
Ward and Forest, Hitching, Leicester, Oxford, Tamworth, Thetford. I used

1016
01:29:35.359 --> 01:29:38.640
to know someone that was from Tamworth, someone I worked with.

1017
01:29:38.680 --> 01:29:41.119
It was not really nice bloke. It was a comedian

1018
01:29:41.159 --> 01:29:46.640
as well, really friendly, nice, nice man. It's a long

1019
01:29:46.720 --> 01:29:50.840
time ago. Okay, let's go it this month so far

1020
01:29:50.920 --> 01:29:54.640
because that was current month. That's this month, not last month.

1021
01:29:55.039 --> 01:30:00.000
That's the current month. So Portsmouth, whoever you are in Portsmouth,

1022
01:30:00.960 --> 01:30:02.880
you're the one listening to the most to me at

1023
01:30:02.880 --> 01:30:10.239
the moment. And then Wembley, Wallingford, Manchester, Croydon, Birmingham, Newcastle

1024
01:30:10.319 --> 01:30:18.720
upon Tyne, Sheffield and Camden and Gossport, Fulham, so you're

1025
01:30:18.760 --> 01:30:21.680
the ones, you're the most one's listening to me the most.

1026
01:30:22.000 --> 01:30:29.560
But if I go last month, it's a look England. Oh,

1027
01:30:29.880 --> 01:30:33.359
Newcastle upon Tyn was the top one, ports From the

1028
01:30:33.520 --> 01:30:45.079
number two, Gosport, Birmingham, Hartleypool, Wallingford, Leeds, Nottingham, one's Worth, Daggingham,

1029
01:30:45.600 --> 01:30:51.199
witch Church, Solly Hole. So many places I've not been to.

1030
01:30:52.520 --> 01:30:54.439
Is it really weird? Like I think it would be

1031
01:30:54.520 --> 01:30:59.640
nice to travel the world on a boat, though, you know,

1032
01:30:59.760 --> 01:31:04.359
on a not a ferry like a cruise. I'd like

1033
01:31:04.439 --> 01:31:07.760
to go on cruises, but I don't think I want

1034
01:31:07.760 --> 01:31:11.319
to go cruise in. Oh's go cruising. No, I mean

1035
01:31:11.560 --> 01:31:18.319
just on a cruise, just traveling around and have something

1036
01:31:18.399 --> 01:31:23.640
to talk about. It's that's kind of that's my new dream.

1037
01:31:23.960 --> 01:31:36.880
It's my new dream. Wimbledon, Sutton, Newham, Wembley, Abingdon, Ashford, London, Sleaford, Witness, Harrow, Stockport,

1038
01:31:37.199 --> 01:31:40.640
Oxford Hole. It's a lot of places up north that

1039
01:31:40.680 --> 01:31:46.640
I've not been to. I liked it in Nottingham. I know,

1040
01:31:46.840 --> 01:31:51.880
technically it's middle. It's the Middle. It is not North.

1041
01:31:51.920 --> 01:31:54.600
It's the middle. Isn't it like Middle East? Middle East?

1042
01:31:54.680 --> 01:32:02.479
Not Middle East. That's a different place. It's a Midlands

1043
01:32:02.880 --> 01:32:07.159
I suppose, isn't it Really It's kind of just like

1044
01:32:08.720 --> 01:32:12.920
Newcastle was up north, but it's not. There's those places

1045
01:32:12.960 --> 01:32:18.119
that are nowhere near the sea, but really as parts

1046
01:32:18.199 --> 01:32:21.159
where you can't get near the sea because you basically

1047
01:32:21.239 --> 01:32:24.760
have to go into Scotland to get into the sea.

1048
01:32:25.640 --> 01:32:31.479
I'm talking like I all, look, Bognor Regis. I used

1049
01:32:31.479 --> 01:32:36.159
to live in Bognor Regis. If you're listening from Bognor Regis, Hello,

1050
01:32:36.880 --> 01:32:42.720
do you remember me? No one? No one's going to

1051
01:32:42.800 --> 01:32:46.600
remember me from any time. I don't think Bognor Regis. Yeah,

1052
01:32:46.640 --> 01:32:54.319
I used to work at Buttlings momentarily Stratford upon Avon,

1053
01:32:54.640 --> 01:33:01.720
not my Stratford, but Stratford upon Avon, Daventry, Prescott, Ellesmere Port,

1054
01:33:02.399 --> 01:33:09.600
Lower Stuffed, Hell's won't I've got a family in low Stuffed, Spennymore, Hackney,

1055
01:33:10.399 --> 01:33:20.279
Great Missenden, Southampton, Hayward, Safe, Sheffield, Pontefract, Bushy, Acrington, Hereford,

1056
01:33:20.880 --> 01:33:28.520
Hammersmith and Lee and Lee. So I'm just trying to think.

1057
01:33:28.600 --> 01:33:32.479
If I look at the other one, the other studio, at.

1058
01:33:32.359 --> 01:33:42.439
The sound cloud, some looks see I think SoundCloud is

1059
01:33:42.479 --> 01:33:43.760
a less UK.

1060
01:33:45.680 --> 01:33:50.920
Oh wow, that's weird. Got loads of listeners on there

1061
01:33:50.920 --> 01:34:00.439
today for some reason. Uh yeah, predominantly there's something each place,

1062
01:34:00.520 --> 01:34:02.079
but it says on here. So this is one of

1063
01:34:02.079 --> 01:34:06.960
my SoundCloud Let me boil this sleep podcast. Council Bluffs.

1064
01:34:07.359 --> 01:34:10.000
That's a city wherever that is. It's in America. So,

1065
01:34:10.159 --> 01:34:22.319
but the countries are America, United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, Canada, Australia, France, Norway, Philippines, Malaysia, Hungary,

1066
01:34:23.079 --> 01:34:37.199
Russian Federation, Singapore, Latvia, Vietnam, Brazil, Spain, Netherlands, Denmark, Thailand, Croatia,

1067
01:34:38.279 --> 01:34:58.239
crostro Croatia, Poland, Italy, Pakistan, Sweden, Kassus, Kas Kazakhs Kazakhstan, Colombia, Pauchew,

1068
01:34:58.560 --> 01:35:11.279
gal Idea, India, Togo, Barbados, Baain, the Gia. It's actually Turkia,

1069
01:35:11.359 --> 01:35:15.079
but we still call it Turkey. They rebranded. Did you

1070
01:35:15.159 --> 01:35:19.399
know that Turkey rebranded and decided to change their name

1071
01:35:20.000 --> 01:35:22.319
instead of t u r k e y, Like the

1072
01:35:22.399 --> 01:35:27.600
bird is now t u k I y e And

1073
01:35:27.640 --> 01:35:30.880
it's supposed to be pronounced Turkia. Maybe it was always

1074
01:35:30.880 --> 01:35:39.840
pronounced Turkya by people in Turkey. It's but then Germany's

1075
01:35:40.520 --> 01:35:49.720
pronounced deutsch Land, and Spain is pronounced pronounced Hispania, and

1076
01:35:50.000 --> 01:35:55.399
France it is at Francis, Like you know, we most

1077
01:35:55.439 --> 01:36:02.239
countries are pronounced wrongly by foreigners, like I'm me being

1078
01:36:02.239 --> 01:36:07.199
a foreigner to another country. So it's just it's standard.

1079
01:36:07.239 --> 01:36:10.479
It's not disrespectful, it's just it's just how we're taught

1080
01:36:10.479 --> 01:36:17.479
at school, isn't it. I mean, I have very very

1081
01:36:17.600 --> 01:36:20.600
vague memories of school. I guess that I once went.

1082
01:36:22.399 --> 01:36:24.600
But they've got the cities or the towns. There's a

1083
01:36:24.960 --> 01:36:32.079
council Bluffs. That's a weird name, isn't it. Council Bluffs

1084
01:36:32.920 --> 01:36:35.439
Because Bluffs. Is like when you kind of lie, isn't

1085
01:36:35.439 --> 01:36:42.760
it or you missdirect? So council a lying council, and

1086
01:36:42.800 --> 01:36:47.319
they've got boardman is that another city or town? Ashburn?

1087
01:36:48.359 --> 01:36:50.960
So that's in the United States. So that's the top three.

1088
01:36:52.279 --> 01:36:59.800
Then you've got Manchester, Dublin in course Ireland, Sandy and

1089
01:37:00.039 --> 01:37:09.520
Phoenix in America. Folkstein. I don't know where Folkstein is. Folkstein,

1090
01:37:10.720 --> 01:37:13.760
all right, don't shout, I'll find it. Oh yeah, it

1091
01:37:13.800 --> 01:37:18.119
is in Germany. I wonder if that's what's his name,

1092
01:37:18.600 --> 01:37:33.760
Sebastian Philadelphia, Melbourne, Sterling, Columbus, Huntingdon, Portland, Winnipegville, Gen, Schweingen, Schwingen.

1093
01:37:34.720 --> 01:37:40.279
And that is Germany as well. Yep, Germany. I've got

1094
01:37:40.279 --> 01:37:43.399
to be careful because I remember years ago I learned

1095
01:37:43.439 --> 01:37:47.640
about flags. I know a lot about flegs. I've got

1096
01:37:47.720 --> 01:37:50.720
to know more about flags than anyone that's ever existed. No,

1097
01:37:51.239 --> 01:37:53.920
I had a book of flags, but I noticed that

1098
01:37:54.039 --> 01:37:56.600
some of them are very similar to each other, but

1099
01:37:56.880 --> 01:38:01.039
just the colors in a different order. Sadly'd be a

1100
01:38:01.079 --> 01:38:05.039
bit or be careful because some people would take offense,

1101
01:38:06.079 --> 01:38:08.239
and I'm not out to cause offense. I'm out to

1102
01:38:08.279 --> 01:38:16.199
cause love in the world and sleep and we lack fation. Chicago,

1103
01:38:16.359 --> 01:38:23.560
City of Monti Lupper, Mountain, Lupper. I genuinely don't know

1104
01:38:23.560 --> 01:38:25.880
how to say that. I mean I do mess up

1105
01:38:26.079 --> 01:38:29.319
the names on purpose sometimes, but on this occasion, I

1106
01:38:29.359 --> 01:38:32.800
don't know how to say it. And that's in the Philippines.

1107
01:38:34.079 --> 01:38:39.159
So whoever is from the Philippines or from wherever you're from, Hello,

01:41:10.920 --> 01:41:14.520

1132
01:41:32.920 --> 01:41:40.359
you mean nothing by it? In Varus? In Very? It's

1133
01:41:40.359 --> 01:41:49.119
not in Vu, It's in Very, Invery, in Very, Kilmarnock, Livingstone,

1134
01:41:49.520 --> 01:42:00.640
bonnie Bridge, Galashiel's Bar, Head Inverness, done Fermile Line Alo open, Hello?

1135
01:42:01.319 --> 01:42:03.960
Where do you live? Hello? Well? Hello, yeah, but where

1136
01:42:04.000 --> 01:42:07.840
do you live? Hello? We've already done the ingredients. Where

1137
01:42:07.880 --> 01:42:15.720
do you live? I'll stop there Oben Peter's Head. So

1138
01:42:15.960 --> 01:42:19.680
where about Wales? We can't miss Wales out and we'll

1139
01:42:19.720 --> 01:42:21.600
go to Northern Island as well, so we can't miss

1140
01:42:22.119 --> 01:42:24.640
you can't miss the different parts of Northern Island of

1141
01:42:24.760 --> 01:42:30.359
the United Kingdom. And Wrexham. Chepstowe Barry. This is in Wales,

1142
01:42:30.800 --> 01:42:35.479
so Wrexham's the top. This is last month, Chepstow Berry

1143
01:42:35.800 --> 01:42:45.319
COLDI coot d side my Stig Cardiff, quum Bran, Ferndale.

1144
01:42:45.840 --> 01:42:54.319
Tony Pandy. That's my favorite name ever, Tony Pandy. Why

1145
01:42:54.479 --> 01:42:58.239
is it? Why do I love that name so much? Tony?

1146
01:42:58.239 --> 01:43:02.840
Where do you live Tony Pandy? Wow? I wish I

1147
01:43:02.880 --> 01:43:05.279
could live there. You can. You've just got to buy

1148
01:43:05.319 --> 01:43:08.960
a house. It's got to move. Oh. I want to

1149
01:43:09.000 --> 01:43:14.560
live in Tony Pandy. I mean I don't know if

1150
01:43:14.560 --> 01:43:16.399
i'd want to move there. I don't know what it's like.

1151
01:43:16.880 --> 01:43:18.800
Maybe if you live in Tony Pandy, you can tell me.

1152
01:43:21.319 --> 01:43:25.399
Tony Pandy, what brilliant name I'm probably pronouncing it wrong.

1153
01:43:25.439 --> 01:43:39.079
It's probably like it just got to completely different sound. Abadair, Hollywell, Caerphilly, Caerphilly, Newport.

1154
01:43:39.439 --> 01:43:45.840
Actually know someone lived in Newport, Bargode, Lanellie, Blackwood, Swansea,

1155
01:43:46.920 --> 01:43:52.800
Ponti Pool, Mountain, ash man A Bridge and Abba Stwift

1156
01:43:53.359 --> 01:43:58.720
ab bur Stwift. So the top one's there, Wrexham and

1157
01:43:58.880 --> 01:44:06.119
Chaps though Barry Caldercott d Side. I did think about

1158
01:44:06.199 --> 01:44:10.640
maybe I'm thinking of getting married. I mean, I haven't

1159
01:44:10.680 --> 01:44:12.840
met anyone yet, but I'm just thinking about it. I'm

1160
01:44:12.880 --> 01:44:17.319
just wondering, m maybe it'd be nice to get married

1161
01:44:20.880 --> 01:44:25.119
because I'm thinking I quite like to go away. I'd

1162
01:44:25.199 --> 01:44:29.760
quite like to go away and I don't know cruises

1163
01:44:29.760 --> 01:44:32.239
if I can afford to do it one day and

1164
01:44:34.359 --> 01:44:36.640
it just seems like I could be much nicer. I'd

1165
01:44:36.680 --> 01:44:39.640
be able to do it, and it'd be more if

1166
01:44:39.720 --> 01:44:45.079
I had someone to look after Vinnie while I went

1167
01:44:45.119 --> 01:44:51.279
on holiday. So yeah, I'm thinking of getting married. I

1168
01:44:51.319 --> 01:44:54.000
don't know what you think, would you reckon? Do you

1169
01:44:54.039 --> 01:44:55.479
want to get married to me? Do you want to marry?

1170
01:44:56.960 --> 01:44:59.640
Do you love me? Will you love me forever? I

1171
01:44:59.720 --> 01:45:07.840
never I never know right last month Northern Ireland, Newtown Abbey, Belfast,

1172
01:45:09.359 --> 01:45:15.479
dung Gannon okay, because that's Uncle Sausages was from Northern Ireland.

1173
01:45:17.079 --> 01:45:19.880
So I just thought that'd be interesting. What other places

1174
01:45:19.960 --> 01:45:24.479
are there so many different places. I can't I just

1175
01:45:24.600 --> 01:45:31.399
can't begin to go through all I means. France, Lee

1176
01:45:31.800 --> 01:45:39.920
de France, al Guererose, Alps, grand Este, nouvelle. I can't

1177
01:45:39.960 --> 01:45:43.119
even say the names. It's terrible, isn't it. I'm so

1178
01:45:44.680 --> 01:45:47.479
I'm such a lower class I am. I've got no

1179
01:45:47.760 --> 01:45:58.800
style at all. Brittany Ochitanne, Normandy, hats de France, pays

1180
01:45:58.920 --> 01:46:04.760
de la lawyer. Corsica. Of course, Corsica is that in France,

1181
01:46:04.880 --> 01:46:10.479
is it? I didn't know that I thought it was.

1182
01:46:13.479 --> 01:46:14.880
I don't know. I thought it was for it was

1183
01:46:14.880 --> 01:46:18.560
a different country. Paris. So Paris is the top place

1184
01:46:18.640 --> 01:46:22.760
in France. The people listen to me, that's nice. I

1185
01:46:22.880 --> 01:46:26.880
just want to go back to the last year, the

1186
01:46:26.960 --> 01:46:30.600

01:46:39.560 --> 01:46:44.279

01:49:00.279 --> 01:49:03.960

01:49:04.079 --> 01:49:10.680

1211
01:49:46.079 --> 01:49:48.439
think maybe there might be a port Toalbert in America

1212
01:49:48.479 --> 01:49:56.239
as well. So you're a Bowld Buckley, Langdwin, langdon No Port, Maddock,

1216
01:50:18.760 --> 01:50:20.920
miss that one. That so always a lot more in

1217
01:50:21.000 --> 01:50:33.359
the year, Bella Mina, Belfast, Cookstown, dun Gannon, Londonderry, Newton Abbey, Newry, Omar,

bally Money, bally Money. That's no nice word, isn't it.

1219
01:50:40.319 --> 01:50:40.359
Not?

1220
01:50:40.439 --> 01:50:42.479
Because it's got the word money and it just just

1221
01:50:42.840 --> 01:50:54.760
bally Money. Craig Avon Bangor down Patrick that's another quite good.

1222
01:50:55.000 --> 01:50:57.000
Maybe it's just because of the names. It's got a

1223
01:50:57.079 --> 01:51:04.640
name in it down Patrick and you've got new Townhards.

1224
01:51:09.239 --> 01:51:12.920
This was the last twelve months. So what other places?

1225
01:51:13.640 --> 01:51:22.039
Was thinking? They go to Ireland? Leinster, Munster, connak Ulster Ulster.

1226
01:51:24.000 --> 01:51:28.520
I thought Ulster was northern Ireland. No, well it just

1227
01:51:28.600 --> 01:51:31.640
shows you what I know. I'm so out of touch

1228
01:51:31.800 --> 01:51:46.439
with places. Uh what about Sweden? Nor Venice just farted? No,

1229
01:51:46.800 --> 01:51:50.239
I think I hope it's viny. No, I didn't feel

1230
01:51:50.279 --> 01:51:53.000
anything some I'm just maning it so blind me out.

1231
01:51:53.000 --> 01:51:56.479
I really hope it is in. I wish i'd kept

1232
01:51:56.520 --> 01:52:02.960
the window open now, nor Bottom County, Stockholm County, vetra

1233
01:52:03.800 --> 01:52:13.520
Gotterland County, Ostroglottland County. Upsala, up Sala. That's very Viking

1234
01:52:14.880 --> 01:52:28.159
up Sala, isn't that? Now? I know this is Sweden? Upsala.

1235
01:52:29.079 --> 01:52:32.439
Now I watched the Vikings and I realized, you know,

1236
01:52:32.880 --> 01:52:36.520
you so it's the wrong country, but perhaps I can't remember.

1237
01:52:37.239 --> 01:52:40.000
But Upsala isn't that where some of the Vikings lived.

1238
01:52:44.520 --> 01:52:46.680
I watched every episode of the Vikings and it was

1239
01:52:46.680 --> 01:52:50.600
about seven thousand different series, you know, but of it

1240
01:52:50.680 --> 01:52:54.600
it went on for ages and I loved it very much.

1241
01:52:56.960 --> 01:53:01.119
Upsala Farmland. Let's have a look at a click on

1242
01:53:01.199 --> 01:53:05.079
up side and see if there's any places that I remember. No,

1243
01:53:05.359 --> 01:53:13.600
just upsalah Ah. So if you're in Sweden, I remember

1244
01:53:13.680 --> 01:53:17.720
going to Sweden. It's just on the airport on the

1245
01:53:17.800 --> 01:53:24.680
way to somewhere, and I just not surprised. But there's

1246
01:53:24.760 --> 01:53:30.920
just everyone was blonde, and you know, I see that

1247
01:53:31.000 --> 01:53:34.319
on the news, newspapers and TV shows and I kin't

1248
01:53:34.319 --> 01:53:41.159
of just assume it's a it's just a cliche. But

1249
01:53:42.000 --> 01:53:44.279
I don't know. Obviously, not anyone in Sweden is going

1250
01:53:44.359 --> 01:53:49.199
to be blonde, but it seems to be there's a

1251
01:53:49.239 --> 01:53:56.039
few people that are. What about Belgium, That's what got Belgium.

1252
01:53:56.359 --> 01:54:06.680
You've got Brussels Capital, Flanders, Walone, Waller, oh cool So Hallo,

1253
01:54:06.760 --> 01:54:20.720
tevery one from Belgium and India, Canada, Ireland, Sweden, Denmark's

1254
01:54:21.199 --> 01:54:31.000
Denmark Capital Region, Central Jetland, South Denmark, Zealand and North Denmark.

1255
01:54:33.279 --> 01:54:40.560
So fred Fredericksburg is the top place for the year.

1256
01:54:41.079 --> 01:54:54.720
Copenhagen More Municipal Valby from shoj Hunderstead, von Loos, Bellerup

1257
01:54:55.000 --> 01:55:07.119
Municipal Municipality, Glostrup Moon Municipality. I can't even say it,

1258
01:55:10.079 --> 01:55:11.880
so thank you to everyone. I can't go for every

1259
01:55:11.920 --> 01:55:15.720
single country, but there's a lot of countries. It's like

1260
01:55:15.880 --> 01:55:20.600
I'm kind of covers everyone in the world, kind of

1261
01:55:21.880 --> 01:55:24.600
as far not everyone as in every single person, but

1262
01:55:26.119 --> 01:55:31.640
it's going to pretty much cover most cultures, most religions,

1263
01:55:33.800 --> 01:55:36.760
perhaps perhaps not. I mean it's I got no idea.

1264
01:55:39.119 --> 01:55:42.880
Jonathan asks what does a typical days meals and beverages

1265
01:55:43.000 --> 01:55:47.439
consist of. It depends where you're going and what you're buying.

1266
01:55:50.640 --> 01:55:52.880
If I was when I was going to visit uncle

1267
01:55:52.960 --> 01:55:59.439
Sausages in hospital, I think it's about twenty quid for

1268
01:55:59.600 --> 01:56:06.720
a a coffee, maybe two coffees and a couple of sandwiches,

1269
01:56:08.039 --> 01:56:15.399
about twenty crid a day. It does depend where you're going,

1270
01:56:15.399 --> 01:56:17.960
because you know there's cheaper places you can go and

1271
01:56:18.159 --> 01:56:22.760
get something for sometimes meal deals. If you're out, you

1272
01:56:22.840 --> 01:56:25.960
can get like a meal deal for five pound where

1273
01:56:26.000 --> 01:56:30.760
you get drink sandwich and maybe pack it at Crisps

1274
01:56:32.840 --> 01:56:34.840
or a chocolate bar or something, you know, so you

1275
01:56:34.960 --> 01:56:44.960
get enough for like a little meal thing beverages. I mean,

1276
01:56:45.039 --> 01:56:47.880
I only really just drink tea and water most of

1277
01:56:47.920 --> 01:56:52.560
the time. Occasionally I have fizzy drink, but it's not often,

1278
01:56:54.079 --> 01:56:58.600
so I don't know how much fizzy drinks cost the

1279
01:57:02.000 --> 01:57:04.279
I don't know how. It's weird really because I don't

1280
01:57:04.279 --> 01:57:08.800
because I don't go into pubs. I don't drink alcohol,

1281
01:57:08.880 --> 01:57:10.680
so I don't. I don't know how. I'm not even

1282
01:57:11.199 --> 01:57:14.359
not even the faintest idea how much a pint of

1283
01:57:14.520 --> 01:57:19.640
largo would be. So if I put pint larger cost

1284
01:57:20.720 --> 01:57:30.960
cost UK pint of lager four pounds sixty the cost

1285
01:57:31.039 --> 01:57:32.720
the average cost of a pint lager in the UK

1286
01:57:32.880 --> 01:57:38.199
is four sixty ah okay right, So it depends where

1287
01:57:38.239 --> 01:57:41.680
you are. According to this, it says London's five pounds

1288
01:57:41.720 --> 01:57:46.000
forty four for a pint, and Wales is four to

1289
01:57:46.039 --> 01:57:49.640
twenty one. So it's the cheapest place to get a

1290
01:57:49.720 --> 01:57:56.720
pint of lager. London's the most expensive, Southeast four ninety

1291
01:57:56.760 --> 01:58:01.640
four the second most expensive. That's where I live. Northeast

1292
01:58:01.680 --> 01:58:06.159
England four fifty six. This is pounds slightly above the

1293
01:58:06.279 --> 01:58:13.479
national average, and then four ninety three in Southwest are

1294
01:58:13.600 --> 01:58:18.000
also a month the highest prices. All let's have a

1295
01:58:18.079 --> 01:58:25.000
look what's the It's got a little chart here, so

1296
01:58:25.000 --> 01:58:29.439
I have a look at the chart. There there a chart. Yeah,

1297
01:58:30.359 --> 01:58:32.359
see what? Oh go away? I don't want to be

1298
01:58:32.399 --> 01:58:37.640
a paid member. Go away right? So according to this

1299
01:58:39.840 --> 01:58:46.479
Southwest five sixteen, Southeast five twenty one, London five pound

1300
01:58:46.560 --> 01:58:51.600
fifty nine, East Midlands, Oh so nothing for Norwedge then no,

1301
01:58:52.319 --> 01:58:55.640
they don't buy lager there East England, East Midlands four

1302
01:58:55.680 --> 01:58:59.479
pounds seventy four, four pounds seventy four West Midlands and

1303
01:58:59.600 --> 01:59:06.159
also Wales Northwest four pounds eighty seven, Northeast four pound

1304
01:59:06.239 --> 01:59:13.640
fifty six. Actually has realized the Northeast and the Northwest

1305
01:59:13.680 --> 01:59:17.680
does also have a Let's see, depends where you live

1306
01:59:18.119 --> 01:59:24.439
Scotland four pounds eighty seven. So it depends what you're eating,

1307
01:59:24.640 --> 01:59:26.239
I mean you can or what you're drinking. So if

1308
01:59:26.239 --> 01:59:29.880
you can drink alcohol, then you're looking at like five

1309
01:59:30.039 --> 01:59:39.920
quid roughly for a drink, and if you're if you

1310
01:59:40.000 --> 01:59:45.760
get a takeaway delivered, you're looking at about twenty pounds,

1311
01:59:46.479 --> 01:59:49.520
you know, roughly, it could be more. Depends what you're ordering,

1312
01:59:49.600 --> 01:59:52.520
depends where you're ordering it from, what time of the day,

1313
01:59:53.279 --> 01:59:58.520
what kind of delivery charges there is there is you know, yeah,

1314
01:59:58.520 --> 02:00:05.439
it really just depends on what you get. But then

1315
02:00:05.479 --> 02:00:10.079
you might be talking about me specifically. So I get

1316
02:00:10.159 --> 02:00:13.560
my everything I get is delivered to me. And I

1317
02:00:13.720 --> 02:00:19.800
just had a delivery this morning from eats what it's

1318
02:00:19.840 --> 02:00:26.199
called Uber Eats, and that cost me I think like

1319
02:00:26.600 --> 02:00:32.079
thirty four pounds something like that. And for that I

1320
02:00:32.239 --> 02:00:44.680
got four milks. Oh okay, it's some bananas, some apples,

1321
02:00:46.680 --> 02:00:52.640
some pizzas, those two little pizzas. I got a packet

1322
02:00:52.720 --> 02:00:55.520
of bags which you can store stuff in for the

1323
02:00:55.600 --> 02:01:02.039
freezer and stuff and difridge. I got some jaffee cakes

1324
02:01:02.079 --> 02:01:07.479
and another little packet of biscuits, some bread rolls, shebatta,

1325
02:01:10.319 --> 02:01:15.880
and I think that's pretty much it. I'm trying to

1326
02:01:15.920 --> 02:01:24.079
think what else there was Boom boom boom boom cheese.

1327
02:01:24.239 --> 02:01:30.600
Got some cheese as well, some cheese slices, So you know,

1328
02:01:30.680 --> 02:01:34.119
you could buy stuff like I have. So I find

1329
02:01:34.399 --> 02:01:36.399
I have a cheese and tomato bread roll, which is

1330
02:01:36.439 --> 02:01:41.560
what I'm planning to earth for my lunch. Then the

1331
02:01:45.439 --> 02:01:53.239
a pound, probably two pound, but then Vinnie has to

1332
02:01:53.680 --> 02:01:56.000
he loves cheese, so I can't of have to share

1333
02:01:56.039 --> 02:02:02.319
it with him. Where is he He's not even under

1334
02:02:02.359 --> 02:02:06.399
the table. I don't know where he is. He's actually

1335
02:02:06.760 --> 02:02:11.520
right under my chair, like behind my chair. I didn't

1336
02:02:11.520 --> 02:02:13.079
even know he was there. I didn't know where he was.

1337
02:02:14.840 --> 02:02:17.880
So yeah, it depends really on what I'm eating before

1338
02:02:17.880 --> 02:02:23.039
I get takeaway. Pretty much at least twenty pounds, if

1339
02:02:23.119 --> 02:02:29.079
not more. As far as like a takeaway food, whether

1340
02:02:29.159 --> 02:02:38.840
it's a pizza, whether it's a roast dinner, whether it's yeah, whatever,

1341
02:02:38.880 --> 02:02:48.680
it is really looking at roughly twenty. But then I mean,

1342
02:02:49.039 --> 02:02:51.279
I guess most of my money really goes on food.

1343
02:02:52.840 --> 02:02:58.199
I mean there's priorities. You know, I got the bills,

1344
02:02:59.520 --> 02:03:06.000
so bill and food, and that's it. Really, that's the

1345
02:03:06.079 --> 02:03:08.680
two things I kind of prioritize on. And I include

1346
02:03:08.920 --> 02:03:12.000
you know, Vinnie's food as well in that I get

1347
02:03:12.039 --> 02:03:15.600
that delivered too, So yeah, that's kind of it. That's

1348
02:03:15.720 --> 02:03:18.119
really so I don't I guess I don't take too

1349
02:03:18.199 --> 02:03:23.000
much notice of how much things are. I'm more interested

1350
02:03:23.039 --> 02:03:26.000
in that I've got enough to cover how much things are,

1351
02:03:28.079 --> 02:03:31.199
if that makes any sense. Because I've got direct debits

1352
02:03:31.359 --> 02:03:34.920
for all of my bills, I don't have to pay

1353
02:03:34.960 --> 02:03:38.079
anything like I have to pay it, but I don't

1354
02:03:38.119 --> 02:03:40.399
have to kind of go and do anything. It just

1355
02:03:40.520 --> 02:03:44.600
automatically goes out of my account. We know how direct

1356
02:03:44.720 --> 02:03:50.920
debits work. All right, Wow, is it Sunday today, isn't it?

1357
02:03:51.920 --> 02:03:55.560
I just seem to be very sarcastic towards myself. I'm

1358
02:03:55.600 --> 02:04:00.199
in a sarcastic Sunday, So yeah, Jonathan, that's kind of it. Really,

1359
02:04:00.279 --> 02:04:09.319
I just it depends what is my You said typical

1360
02:04:09.399 --> 02:04:11.960
days meals consist of? You didn't say cost, did you.

1361
02:04:16.000 --> 02:04:17.640
It's because I've been out half a night. I'm not

1362
02:04:17.720 --> 02:04:20.399
reading it properly. What does a typical days meals and

1363
02:04:20.479 --> 02:04:23.960
beverages consist of? Not cost? You didn't ask me cost,

1364
02:04:24.039 --> 02:04:27.239
But I'm telling you the price of stuff I have

1365
02:04:32.399 --> 02:04:39.880
in more recent years, I've a jay eating. I try

1366
02:04:39.960 --> 02:04:44.279
and have something cooked and a sandwich, and maybe a

1367
02:04:44.359 --> 02:04:51.880
couple of bowls of breakfast cereal through the day. Water, juice,

1368
02:04:51.960 --> 02:04:55.439
I've got it. If I don't have juice and I

1369
02:04:55.520 --> 02:05:00.880
don't know water basically, and tea cuts it tea without sugar.

1370
02:05:08.439 --> 02:05:13.760
Sometimes I have regular takeaways. Sometimes I'll go without having

1371
02:05:13.760 --> 02:05:16.039
a takeaway for a little while, but you know, I

1372
02:05:16.159 --> 02:05:22.920
do get I haven't had one for over a week now,

1373
02:05:23.000 --> 02:05:27.960
which is a long time. But then I haven't really

1374
02:05:28.079 --> 02:05:29.880
been eating. I've been spend a lot of time in bed,

1375
02:05:30.000 --> 02:05:33.640
so I didn't really I couldn't face kind of doing it.

1376
02:05:33.760 --> 02:05:44.840
But yeah, I don't eat a huge amount. Really, I've

1377
02:05:44.920 --> 02:05:49.239
never been a big eater. I mean, I'm because I'm

1378
02:05:49.239 --> 02:05:51.199
a big eater, because I'm eating and I'm big, But

1379
02:05:51.439 --> 02:05:55.479
I've never been a big consumer of food other than

1380
02:05:55.520 --> 02:06:01.479
when I am chocolate or Dean asks any sign of

1381
02:06:01.560 --> 02:06:04.199
new people moving in? I know that you said there

1382
02:06:04.279 --> 02:06:07.800
was a couple of empty places in your block. Well,

1383
02:06:10.159 --> 02:06:14.960
it's weird because downstairs right the flat downstairs where my

1384
02:06:15.119 --> 02:06:17.199
friend used to live, and then a lady moved in

1385
02:06:17.800 --> 02:06:20.399
and she's moved out within a year of moving in there,

1386
02:06:23.439 --> 02:06:28.640
they're putting a new kitchen downstairs, because apparently they like

1387
02:06:28.720 --> 02:06:31.359
to do it when there's no one living there. I'd

1388
02:06:31.520 --> 02:06:36.800
like a new kitchen, please, can I So they put

1389
02:06:36.840 --> 02:06:39.359
a new kitchen in. As far as I know this,

1390
02:06:39.479 --> 02:06:43.600
they're already started showing that flat out to people. The

1391
02:06:43.720 --> 02:06:50.359
flat opposite, which is Uncle's Sausages. They came last week

1392
02:06:50.760 --> 02:06:55.720
and I think it was last week. They emptied his

1393
02:06:55.880 --> 02:06:59.000
flat very quickly and they were checking stuff out the

1394
02:06:59.079 --> 02:07:03.119
window into a not a skip, but it's like a

1395
02:07:05.039 --> 02:07:07.840
van with a kind of big metal cage on, like

1396
02:07:08.159 --> 02:07:14.159
checking stuff in there out of his window, which didn't

1397
02:07:14.199 --> 02:07:16.159
sit well with me, to be honest. It just seems

1398
02:07:16.159 --> 02:07:22.000
a bit disrespectful. But hey, and the painters have been

1399
02:07:22.079 --> 02:07:25.039
in there. The painting's been downstairs, so I think that

1400
02:07:25.159 --> 02:07:27.520
one's nearly ready to go as well, because all I

1401
02:07:27.600 --> 02:07:31.680
had to do is just sort out two rooms because

1402
02:07:31.720 --> 02:07:35.279
both the kitchen and the bathroom were brand new. The

1403
02:07:35.359 --> 02:07:40.319
bathroom was literally being built or rebuilt when Uncle Sausages

1404
02:07:40.600 --> 02:07:43.359
was in hospital. He never got to see it finished,

1405
02:07:44.760 --> 02:07:47.720
so there's probably less for them to do in there.

1406
02:07:51.279 --> 02:07:59.079
It's weird, really, so I don't know really what's going

1407
02:07:59.159 --> 02:08:01.760
to happen. There's been people coming in and looking around.

1408
02:08:03.159 --> 02:08:05.319
And I did see the lady from the council coming

1409
02:08:05.359 --> 02:08:08.520
in because she got the key off me and she

1410
02:08:08.720 --> 02:08:13.000
came in and she was she had her board on her.

1411
02:08:13.439 --> 02:08:17.079
She was going into of course, sausages flat, so it

1412
02:08:17.159 --> 02:08:20.560
looks like that's ready to go nearly. So they've really

1413
02:08:20.920 --> 02:08:22.600
pulled out all the stops to get them done as

1414
02:08:22.680 --> 02:08:26.880
quickly as possible, to let them out as quick as possible.

1415
02:08:29.720 --> 02:08:31.560
But when people do move in, I'll let you know.

1416
02:08:32.800 --> 02:08:35.600
But the moment still both the flats are still empty

1417
02:08:38.359 --> 02:08:41.159
that it looks like, I mean, what is it now, September.

1418
02:08:42.520 --> 02:08:46.720
I wouldn't be surprised if well, I'd say one hundred

1419
02:08:46.720 --> 02:08:53.720
percent they're both going to be full by Christmas. I

1420
02:08:53.760 --> 02:08:57.600
wouldn't be surprised if at least one of them isn't

1421
02:08:57.640 --> 02:09:02.960
occupied by the end of October, which is only well

1422
02:09:03.800 --> 02:09:07.680
six weeks away, so I wouldn't be surprised. It aln't

1423
02:09:07.680 --> 02:09:11.680
be surprised if both of them are occupied by like November.

1424
02:09:13.880 --> 02:09:16.000
It'd be lovely if it took six months or a year.

1425
02:09:16.840 --> 02:09:21.359
A little bit quiet, because you know, it's the thing is,

1426
02:09:21.439 --> 02:09:24.319
these doors they slam if you don't if you don't

1427
02:09:24.359 --> 02:09:26.800
close them quietly, they just slam on their own, which

1428
02:09:26.920 --> 02:09:30.520
is kind of part of the fire regulation safety thing,

1429
02:09:30.600 --> 02:09:33.479
you know, But it's very noisy and it shakes the

1430
02:09:33.520 --> 02:09:38.680
whole building when they slam because they're heavy doors. So

1431
02:09:40.680 --> 02:09:48.640
out of the six flats, two are empty. So I'm

1432
02:09:48.640 --> 02:09:51.039
going to start at the top of the building. Uncle's

1433
02:09:51.039 --> 02:09:56.640
sausages close his door quietly. His next door neighbor closes

1434
02:09:56.720 --> 02:10:01.439
the door quietly. I close my door quietly. Below me

1435
02:10:01.920 --> 02:10:07.640
closes their door quietly. The one opposite let's their door

1436
02:10:07.720 --> 02:10:12.239
slam continuously. They don't like, they're not aware of it.

1437
02:10:12.319 --> 02:10:14.600
They just let it slam, and it does shake. It

1438
02:10:14.680 --> 02:10:18.960
makes Vinnie bark, and it shakes the building. The one

1439
02:10:19.039 --> 02:10:23.359
next door to that one used to let her door slam.

1440
02:10:26.960 --> 02:10:31.880
So I'm hoping that whoever moves in just doesn't it

1441
02:10:31.960 --> 02:10:36.920
the door slam, because then Vinnie's going to start, especially

1442
02:10:36.960 --> 02:10:40.479
if it's at night, he'll start barking. And if the

1443
02:10:40.520 --> 02:10:44.319
person lives in opposite me, let's say, door slam, it's

1444
02:10:44.399 --> 02:10:48.920
just going to be disruptive for me because it will

1445
02:10:48.960 --> 02:10:54.319
literally shake my flat. It's one of those things. The

1446
02:10:54.359 --> 02:10:59.199
building's not it's not like a flimsy building. It's not

1447
02:10:59.359 --> 02:11:03.960
made outboard, but it really you know that all the

1448
02:11:04.039 --> 02:11:10.680
flats are joined together, aren't they, And it just seems

1449
02:11:11.000 --> 02:11:17.439
and because everything echoes in the hallway, it would seem

1450
02:11:17.600 --> 02:11:20.760
natural that well, that someone wouldn't let the door slam.

1451
02:11:21.920 --> 02:11:24.600
I sometimes it's going to slam. My door slam sometimes,

1452
02:11:25.920 --> 02:11:27.760
you know, if I'm getting shopping in or something, and

1453
02:11:27.920 --> 02:11:32.319
sometimes it slams, but I don't I just continuously let

1454
02:11:32.359 --> 02:11:36.319
it slam. I try and stop it. But once I

1455
02:11:36.439 --> 02:11:37.960
tried to stop it and I broke my heel, So

1456
02:11:38.039 --> 02:11:43.800
that wasn't so good. But other than that, because it

1457
02:11:44.079 --> 02:11:45.800
because it goes and you have to push it to

1458
02:11:45.960 --> 02:11:48.079
open it. So I was trying to stop it from

1459
02:11:48.159 --> 02:11:52.279
slamming and it my heel got caught in between the

1460
02:11:52.399 --> 02:11:54.760
door and the doorfray in the bottom of the door

1461
02:11:54.800 --> 02:12:02.920
frame or I was limping around for about two months

1462
02:12:03.000 --> 02:12:08.359
after that was all painful, and so yeah, I'm not sure,

1463
02:12:08.600 --> 02:12:13.800
but it looks like soon. Maria asks, have you ever

1464
02:12:13.960 --> 02:12:17.399
fractured or broken any bones? Is so winn and how

1465
02:12:17.760 --> 02:12:24.359
thank you? Well? My favorite subject. It's not really I have.

1466
02:12:27.319 --> 02:12:29.680
I've probably broken more bones than I realized, but I

1467
02:12:29.760 --> 02:12:33.880
think all of us have potentially. I remember an expert

1468
02:12:33.960 --> 02:12:38.119
on toes Well. I didn't speak to him personally, but

1469
02:12:38.199 --> 02:12:40.920
it was on the news or whatever. I think this

1470
02:12:41.239 --> 02:12:44.960
was during David Beckham pulled out the World Cup or

1471
02:12:45.000 --> 02:12:49.479
the European Cup because he had a broken toe and

1472
02:12:49.600 --> 02:12:52.880
people were mocking him. So, how can you pull out

1473
02:12:53.000 --> 02:12:58.640
such an important event with a little broken toe? Oh

1474
02:12:59.600 --> 02:13:03.920
you should hurting David. Oh sorry, you're not getting paid

1475
02:13:04.039 --> 02:13:06.199
enough for not a million pounds of weeks? Not enough

1476
02:13:06.319 --> 02:13:08.359
is it for you to just endure a little bit

1477
02:13:08.399 --> 02:13:13.640
of all my toe? And this expert was saying, actually

1478
02:13:15.600 --> 02:13:18.920
is agony. To kick a ball around with a broken

1479
02:13:19.000 --> 02:13:21.720
toe is the most ridiculous thing ever. It's not something

1480
02:13:21.800 --> 02:13:28.279
you can do. It's And also they said that probably

1481
02:13:28.399 --> 02:13:32.960
nearly everybody's had a broken toe without even realizing. If

1482
02:13:33.000 --> 02:13:35.359
you stump your toe, quite often a little but a

1483
02:13:35.479 --> 02:13:39.840
bone breaks and we're in paying for weeks, but it

1484
02:13:39.960 --> 02:13:44.039
gradually goes. But it's just, you know, it's just one

1485
02:13:44.039 --> 02:13:52.039
of those things. So the first real bone I remember

1486
02:13:53.920 --> 02:13:58.680
was I broke my right hand punching a piece of

1487
02:13:58.840 --> 02:14:05.439
frozen meat. Was a box of frozen meat, and yeah,

1488
02:14:06.159 --> 02:14:09.600
I had to go went to hospital and I basically

1489
02:14:12.399 --> 02:14:15.880
I pushed the bone. It was the second knuckle in

1490
02:14:16.000 --> 02:14:18.720
from my little knuckle on the right hand. It compressed

1491
02:14:18.760 --> 02:14:23.359
the bone right into itself. So I don't have a

1492
02:14:23.439 --> 02:14:29.359
knuckle on that hand and Oh, that was weird because

1493
02:14:29.399 --> 02:14:37.720
I was twenty what was I twenty four, twenty four?

1494
02:14:37.920 --> 02:14:42.760
What was the twenty three, twenty three, twenty four something

1495
02:14:42.840 --> 02:14:49.199
like that, And so I had about five weeks off

1496
02:14:49.319 --> 02:14:58.039
work unpaid, which was difficult, and I had to learn

1497
02:14:58.039 --> 02:15:00.800
because I couldn't do the job because I I needed

1498
02:15:00.880 --> 02:15:03.119
my hands to do the job, to do the manual work.

1499
02:15:05.840 --> 02:15:10.359
And it was so weird having to learn because there's

1500
02:15:10.359 --> 02:15:13.920
certain things I needed my right hand for because I

1501
02:15:13.960 --> 02:15:17.399
was right handed, well pretty much everything like writing in

1502
02:15:17.520 --> 02:15:20.880
that but it's like toilet stuff. I'm not going to

1503
02:15:21.000 --> 02:15:25.279
this very difficult learning to do stuff with my left hand.

1504
02:15:25.359 --> 02:15:30.359
It just felt so weird. It wasn't all bad, but

1505
02:15:30.479 --> 02:15:34.840
you know, just generally. And so that was the first time.

1506
02:15:36.119 --> 02:15:46.600
The second time I broke anything was I can't with you,

1507
02:15:46.960 --> 02:15:52.720
I can go through the bone. So I think two

1508
02:15:52.800 --> 02:15:56.640
thousand and four my rib when I was doing wing chun,

1509
02:16:00.239 --> 02:16:12.159
and then I, oh, yeah, I'm going to go. I

1510
02:16:12.239 --> 02:16:14.159
can't go through the different years I can't remember, but

1511
02:16:14.560 --> 02:16:16.560
I'll do it by body part rather than the year

1512
02:16:18.680 --> 02:16:22.000
I'm starting in my head. I don't know what I've

1513
02:16:22.039 --> 02:16:25.560
broken in my face. I couldn't tell you maybe when

1514
02:16:25.600 --> 02:16:29.319
I was very young, but not that I can remember

1515
02:16:30.560 --> 02:16:35.360
nothing in my shoulders, my arms. I broke my left

1516
02:16:35.399 --> 02:16:38.360
wrist when I first moved in it. I fell out

1517
02:16:38.399 --> 02:16:43.319
the bath, so I broke my left wrist. I broke

1518
02:16:43.399 --> 02:16:48.520
my right hand twice. So the second time I punched

1519
02:16:48.559 --> 02:16:53.440
the door, and this was about six years ago. Hey,

1520
02:16:54.440 --> 02:17:01.000
so I yeah, I broke my hand again. I've damage

1521
02:17:01.079 --> 02:17:04.799
my left hand numerous times, but I don't know about

1522
02:17:04.840 --> 02:17:07.639
whether it's broken or not. It might have been like

1523
02:17:07.719 --> 02:17:12.159
a little crack or something, you know, but not like proper.

1524
02:17:12.239 --> 02:17:18.159
Broke broke my rib again. So I've had my rib

1525
02:17:18.200 --> 02:17:22.719
broken twice and my wrist broken once. I had my

1526
02:17:22.920 --> 02:17:33.120
right hand broken twice, broke my toes a few different occasions.

1527
02:17:33.760 --> 02:17:37.959
Had broken toes, my big toe at least twice, the

1528
02:17:38.120 --> 02:17:44.360
top of my foot at least once. My heel now

1529
02:17:44.600 --> 02:17:48.000
the heel, I didn't go and get anything sorted, but

1530
02:17:48.120 --> 02:17:50.879
I was hobbling around for two months, so I think

1531
02:17:50.920 --> 02:17:53.239
I broke something in my heel as well, but or

1532
02:17:53.399 --> 02:17:57.920
chipped the bone something like that. And then I fell

1533
02:17:58.000 --> 02:18:00.559
down the stairs a couple of years back fractured my

1534
02:18:00.680 --> 02:18:04.799
back in two places. That was the first week that

1535
02:18:04.840 --> 02:18:09.000
I got Vinnie, and it was weird because it had snow,

1536
02:18:10.000 --> 02:18:14.719
really solid snow settled and everything. And I got Vinny

1537
02:18:14.840 --> 02:18:17.399
that week and we all week we was in the

1538
02:18:17.600 --> 02:18:21.040
snow and I was wearing my boots making sure I

1539
02:18:21.079 --> 02:18:23.920
didn't fall over. I slipped once, but it was in

1540
02:18:24.000 --> 02:18:27.000
the snow and in the fields. It didn't hurt because

1541
02:18:27.000 --> 02:18:29.000
it was in the snow. And he laughed at me,

1542
02:18:30.040 --> 02:18:31.840
and I said, don't laugh. Next time I'm going to

1543
02:18:32.079 --> 02:18:35.120
I'm going to land on you. He stopped laughing then.

1544
02:18:36.040 --> 02:18:40.760
And the last I think it was a Wednesday, maybe

1545
02:18:40.799 --> 02:18:46.360
it was a Thursday. It rained and everything melted away.

1546
02:18:46.879 --> 02:18:54.040
All the ice went, no snow, not a sight. You

1547
02:18:54.040 --> 02:18:56.879
couldn't see. It had even't been there, like it didn't exist.

1548
02:18:59.239 --> 02:19:05.280
And then Luke calls up. I think he might have

1549
02:19:05.520 --> 02:19:07.760
knocked on a door. He might have wrung me up,

1550
02:19:07.799 --> 02:19:09.360
I don't know. He said, I would you want to

1551
02:19:09.360 --> 02:19:11.680
bring Vinnie down in the garden and play with LOGI

1552
02:19:12.479 --> 02:19:15.280
I said, all right. This was like nine o'clock or something.

1553
02:19:16.200 --> 02:19:18.159
He was I think he was more excited about Vinnie

1554
02:19:18.200 --> 02:19:22.879
than I was. So Luke was downstairs at this point.

1555
02:19:23.479 --> 02:19:26.159
I let Vinnie out and he ran downstairs into the

1556
02:19:26.239 --> 02:19:32.840
garden to play with LOGI I come down. I got

1557
02:19:32.959 --> 02:19:37.639
my crocs on, but I did put my coat on

1558
02:19:37.680 --> 02:19:43.200
because it was cold, and Luke was standing in the

1559
02:19:43.239 --> 02:19:46.040
bottom of the stairs. I was just talking to him

1560
02:19:46.120 --> 02:19:48.680
as I was like getting ready to come down, and

1561
02:19:48.879 --> 02:19:52.079
I think I got down about two steps or three steps,

1562
02:19:53.280 --> 02:20:00.440
and I went and I bounced down the hole of

1563
02:20:00.520 --> 02:20:05.000
the staircase. Diddy. It's not like it's concrete steps, it's

1564
02:20:05.040 --> 02:20:07.920
not like big, not loads of steps, but it was enough.

1565
02:20:09.079 --> 02:20:14.360
And Luke was laughing because he didn't not hurt myself.

1566
02:20:14.440 --> 02:20:17.159
He said, it was so funny to watch just you

1567
02:20:17.399 --> 02:20:20.079
bouncing off of each step and a look on your

1568
02:20:20.120 --> 02:20:25.200
face because it happened so quick. I didn't really I

1569
02:20:25.319 --> 02:20:27.360
didn't really know what was going on. To be fair,

1570
02:20:28.000 --> 02:20:30.600
I didn't. I couldn't really process it because it was

1571
02:20:30.799 --> 02:20:35.000
so quick. One minute I was standing there, next minute

1572
02:20:35.000 --> 02:20:38.040
I was at the bottom of the stairs, having been

1573
02:20:38.120 --> 02:20:43.479
on a really really weird roller coaster. Well it wasn't

1574
02:20:43.479 --> 02:20:45.280
a roller coaster. It was falling down the stairs, but

1575
02:20:45.319 --> 02:20:47.040
you know what I mean. It was a kind of

1576
02:20:47.159 --> 02:20:54.680
very strange experience. So he's laughing. I'm not feeling great,

1577
02:20:56.879 --> 02:21:02.079
and I mean it ended up that I had had

1578
02:21:02.079 --> 02:21:04.520
a fracture back in two places. So I mentioned, you know,

1579
02:21:05.520 --> 02:21:11.719
I wasn't my back wasn't feeling wonderful, and I couldn't

1580
02:21:11.760 --> 02:21:15.360
get up. I needed his help to get up, and

1581
02:21:18.040 --> 02:21:20.120
he was He said I needed to go to the hospital,

1582
02:21:20.879 --> 02:21:24.040
and I said, nah, I'll be all right. But I

1583
02:21:24.040 --> 02:21:26.520
couldn't sit down, I couldn't stand up, I couldn't do anything.

1584
02:21:26.559 --> 02:21:31.680
It was just I knew something was broke, just for

1585
02:21:31.799 --> 02:21:35.319
the simple fact that well, I felt it. But at

1586
02:21:35.319 --> 02:21:38.440
the same time I thought, no, I don't. I can't

1587
02:21:38.600 --> 02:21:41.559
face being in a in the hospital for the next

1588
02:21:42.200 --> 02:21:46.000
twelve hours thirty I think it was thirteen and a

1589
02:21:46.040 --> 02:21:50.600
half hours I was in there. But he said, yeah,

1590
02:21:50.639 --> 02:21:55.440
but what if you got internal, something internal happened, you know,

1591
02:21:55.959 --> 02:22:00.239
outside of something else, you know, might say you might

1592
02:22:00.280 --> 02:22:03.760
be serious. So if you wanted to come with me,

1593
02:22:03.840 --> 02:22:05.719
I said, no, it's all right, I'll just get a

1594
02:22:05.799 --> 02:22:08.840
taxi in. He looked after Vinnie.

1595
02:22:12.559 --> 02:22:13.000
And yeah.

1596
02:22:13.680 --> 02:22:17.760
The doctor even said, oh, no, can't be fractured when

1597
02:22:17.799 --> 02:22:20.200
he eventually sort of saw me. So he can't be

1598
02:22:20.319 --> 02:22:23.879
fractured because it was fractured. Being in agony I said

1599
02:22:23.920 --> 02:22:27.600
that I'm what do you think I'm in He said, no,

1600
02:22:27.719 --> 02:22:29.040
you won't be able to You won't be able to

1601
02:22:29.079 --> 02:22:31.760
stand up. If you had if you had a fracture

1602
02:22:31.760 --> 02:22:33.159
in your back, you're and be able to stand up.

1603
02:22:34.639 --> 02:22:36.360
He said, I'm going to give you an extra anyway

1604
02:22:36.680 --> 02:22:39.680
with a cat scan. And then he came back. He said, yeah,

1605
02:22:39.680 --> 02:22:44.159
it's fractured in two places. He said, I don't know

1606
02:22:44.200 --> 02:22:47.840
how you can stand up. I said, sitting down's worst,

1607
02:22:47.920 --> 02:22:53.920
and standing up it's hurts more than I sit down.

1608
02:22:54.280 --> 02:22:56.600
I've just spent the last twelve hours, twelve and a

1609
02:22:56.600 --> 02:23:03.239
half hours sitting down. Standing up was relief, but then

1610
02:23:03.280 --> 02:23:05.079
it started hurting the game and on standing up, but

1611
02:23:05.680 --> 02:23:08.079
it was relief compared to sitting down for such a

1612
02:23:08.159 --> 02:23:16.959
long time, which oh so yeah. So what I've got?

1613
02:23:17.200 --> 02:23:24.600
I think so my knuckles and I guess I've got

1614
02:23:24.680 --> 02:23:31.360
two hands to my right hand twice, my wrist once,

1615
02:23:32.600 --> 02:23:41.040
my ribs twice two different times, and my foot on

1616
02:23:41.040 --> 02:23:45.120
the top of my foot once and my big toe

1617
02:23:45.319 --> 02:23:50.479
least twice. Yeah, and the heel. I don't know, but

1618
02:23:50.600 --> 02:23:54.479
that's the breaks. I've had a few little breaks along

1619
02:23:54.559 --> 02:24:00.520
the way, but I suppose the The scarier one would

1620
02:24:00.520 --> 02:24:02.159
be when I fell out the bath, to be honest,

1621
02:24:03.399 --> 02:24:06.639
because I hurt my shoulder and I couldn't I couldn't

1622
02:24:06.680 --> 02:24:10.440
get up. I was on my own and I was well,

1623
02:24:11.319 --> 02:24:13.719
everything was out. You know, I was naked, so it

1624
02:24:13.840 --> 02:24:22.159
wasn't an ideal situation. But when I fell down the stairs,

1625
02:24:24.680 --> 02:24:25.920
but at least I had a T shirt on the

1626
02:24:25.959 --> 02:24:30.479
rest of me, I was naked, and then I was

1627
02:24:30.600 --> 02:24:33.719
when I was at work. Yeah, pretty much was naked

1628
02:24:33.840 --> 02:24:39.799
most places most times. It's weird, isn't it. Well, we

1629
02:24:39.920 --> 02:24:41.799
weren't born naked. I mean, it's not a bad thing.

1630
02:24:41.920 --> 02:24:45.360
Is It's not an awful state of undress? Really, is it.

1631
02:24:46.479 --> 02:24:51.639
It's natural. It doesn't hold up in court though, doesn't

1632
02:24:51.719 --> 02:24:55.840
stand up in court. Wow. So yeah, I've had a few,

1633
02:24:56.639 --> 02:25:02.760
a few little knocks around, but probably other than like

1634
02:25:03.000 --> 02:25:05.799
falling out the bath that was not good. But the

1635
02:25:07.239 --> 02:25:13.879
stairs one that was. Yeah, that's probably the worst, the worst.

1636
02:25:13.920 --> 02:25:16.440
I don't know, none of them were nice, but that was,

1637
02:25:18.879 --> 02:25:21.639
you know, sitting down, standing up whatever. It was just

1638
02:25:22.440 --> 02:25:29.760
it took a long time for that to calm itself down. Yeah,

1639
02:25:29.920 --> 02:25:36.520
that was weird. That was Yeah. Since then, I've had

1640
02:25:36.520 --> 02:25:39.040
a few problems with my upper back. I don't know

1641
02:25:39.079 --> 02:25:45.280
if it's to do with that, almost like a misalignment

1642
02:25:45.440 --> 02:25:51.040
or something. I don't know. I don't know. I don't

1643
02:25:51.280 --> 02:26:00.719
know that Maria. So that's I thank you for Maria, Christine, Jonathan, Reveal,

1644
02:26:01.520 --> 02:26:06.000
Isabelle and Hope. Thank you very much. That's all the

1645
02:26:06.079 --> 02:26:10.440
questions I do believe I've answered in this here particular

1646
02:26:10.760 --> 02:26:16.239
Q and A Friday, and Vinnie knows straight away I'm

1647
02:26:16.360 --> 02:26:19.520

1648
02:26:19.600 --> 02:26:27.799

You deserves to feel safe. Lots of love, bye,
