8
00:00:53.600 --> 00:01:00.759
boring objects now, Vinny, it's on the floor at the moment, Chew.

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

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

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

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

13
00:01:24.200 --> 00:01:27.079
if you've never gone off food, have you? You liked everything?

14
00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:29.159
You've always liked every single food I've ever had. You're

15
00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:32.280
never eating something then got fed up with it? Right, Okay,

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

17
00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:44.719
I've overeaten. There was his biscuits once. Biscuits is going

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

19
00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:53.519
I was gonna say I'm scraping a barrel, but I'm scrape.

20
00:01:53.560 --> 00:01:59.000
I'm scraping the biscuit tin for this one. Biscuits? How

21
00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:04.560
can I talk for an hour about biscuits. If anyone

22
00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:11.800
can do it, I can do it. I suppose biscuits. Well,

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

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

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

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

27
00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:33.879
the early days before she kind of lost her mobility,

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

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

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

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

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

33
00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:04.240
They were just effect. There were my Nanny Newland's rock

34
00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:07.840
cakes that was just however they were. I want to

35
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:09.919
say burn, you know, because sometimes if you leave them

36
00:03:09.960 --> 00:03:11.879
in the oven a little bit too long. We know

37
00:03:11.960 --> 00:03:18.840
what burnt means. Am I going to have this? Are

38
00:03:18.840 --> 00:03:25.159
you going to be argumented? If the whole recording maybe right?

39
00:03:28.719 --> 00:03:31.639
Vinnie started barking there was a dog in the distance,

40
00:03:31.879 --> 00:03:36.400
well somewhere, I mean, what is distance and what is close?

41
00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:44.680
Talking about distancing close. I was in the park earlier

42
00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:48.800
and I thought I saw a couple of Dopeman's running

43
00:03:48.840 --> 00:03:55.439
towards me off the lead. So I was like, oh,

44
00:03:55.879 --> 00:03:58.319
but I got it wrong because I didn't have my

45
00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:00.639
glasses on. I just forgot to take my asses with me.

46
00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:03.159
And I realized I looked down at which is a

47
00:04:03.159 --> 00:04:06.400
couple of choo I was chill. I was was actually

48
00:04:06.599 --> 00:04:11.159
about two inches from my feet. They look exactly like

49
00:04:12.919 --> 00:04:23.399
they look the same as Doberman. Anyway, there's a few

50
00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:30.519
unfriendly dog walkers. There's like the friendly ones and then

51
00:04:30.519 --> 00:04:34.639
there's the ones that just almost don't want to interact,

52
00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:38.800
which is up to them, I know, but I've made

53
00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:45.079
the effort to be friendly if I can. I don't know.

54
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:48.959
There's just some some dog walkers I like, they kind

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

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

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

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

59
00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:08.920
dog dogg in and so this dog, I don't know,

60
00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:12.839
Vinnie was. He wasn't just barking, he was howling like

61
00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:17.240
a wolf. You know. His his face looking up to

62
00:05:17.279 --> 00:05:23.639
the sky. Oh oh, which he doesn't do very often.

63
00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:28.360
So it was very much a kind of a pack call.

64
00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:32.399
He was. It's definitely it was. There's something kind of

65
00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:39.439
communication going on there. I would say I had to

66
00:05:39.439 --> 00:05:42.519
shut him up because the neighbor downstairs is probably asleep.

67
00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:48.319
I don't want to disturbing the neighbors, especially as tomorrow

68
00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:57.000
the building works begins. Burn burn burm. Yeah. My neighbor

69
00:05:57.079 --> 00:06:02.720
opposite has his bathroom. It was bathroom is going to

70
00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:10.040
be rebuilt, so it's going to be noise noise, noise

71
00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:15.720
noise for it'll probably be full on for about a

72
00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:19.279
week while the rest of this week Tuesday to Friday,

73
00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:25.279
and then it will reduced a little bit after that.

74
00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:27.759
The first bit is I seem to dig up the concrete.

75
00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:32.000
I think digging up the bath is a proper like

76
00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:35.240
shakes the whole building. I'm not going to be able

77
00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:42.279
to make a recording when they're here, So I was thinking,

78
00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:50.560
maybe try and do the recordings today while it's relatively quiet.

79
00:06:51.959 --> 00:06:57.879
I mean, I was thinking, actually early on, I should

80
00:06:57.879 --> 00:07:02.000
make the most of it being quiet and relax, Maybe

81
00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:04.199
watch a couple of movies, you know, just have like

82
00:07:04.480 --> 00:07:12.399
a relaxing day where there's not noise, because guarantee what

83
00:07:12.600 --> 00:07:16.879
happens when there's noise in one flat, another neighbor would

84
00:07:16.920 --> 00:07:19.800
turn music on to cover up that noise for them,

85
00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:22.639
and then another neighbor would turn up to cover up

86
00:07:23.160 --> 00:07:26.120
the noise of that music, and before you know, it's

87
00:07:26.279 --> 00:07:35.480
like noisy, really noisy, and it's yeah, it's just human

88
00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:40.240
nature to do that. I mean, the most I would

89
00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:46.439
do is I put my headphones on so I can

90
00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:49.480
kind of block out the noise with my headphones. But

91
00:07:49.519 --> 00:07:51.519
it limits me to what I can do. I mean,

92
00:07:51.560 --> 00:07:53.439
I could listen to music, or I could watch TV

93
00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:59.600
and stuff, watch a movie. I'll probably just take this

94
00:07:59.639 --> 00:08:03.319
one out for a few long longer really said the

95
00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:08.480
word longer journeys tomorrow in it, so I can Tuesday

96
00:08:08.519 --> 00:08:13.399
and Wednesday will be the Tuesday Wednesday third, which is

97
00:08:14.120 --> 00:08:15.879
the next The rest of this week will be the

98
00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:23.240
most amount of disruption auditory wise. But then there's a

99
00:08:23.279 --> 00:08:25.680
lot of doors slamming. They're coming and going, and you know,

100
00:08:25.800 --> 00:08:31.319
so that that agitates the old vinster here, So I

101
00:08:31.319 --> 00:08:34.639
guess he'll be doing a bit of barking. So what

102
00:08:34.679 --> 00:08:36.519
I'll try and do is when they do get here.

103
00:08:38.559 --> 00:08:41.360
What I like to do. If there's builders coming into

104
00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:45.399
the building, I try and introduce Viny to them so

105
00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:48.000
then he knows who they are. Once he's met them,

106
00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:52.200
he doesn't seem so bothered. But if someone comes in

107
00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:54.440
and out of the building continuously and he hasn't seen

108
00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:57.159
them and he doesn't know who they are, it seems

109
00:08:57.159 --> 00:09:02.120
to irritate him a bit, don't it. What are you

110
00:09:02.120 --> 00:09:05.440
sniffing there for? There's nothing there? Trust me, well there is,

111
00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:17.519
but it's nothing, nothing interesting. Wow. Yeah, So my name

112
00:09:17.600 --> 00:09:19.879
got these biscuits. I can't evenmember what they were called,

113
00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:25.120
but there is super delicious. And she'd make a cup

114
00:09:25.120 --> 00:09:29.919
of tea, like you do know, I want to go around.

115
00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:31.720
She'd make a cup of tea. Sometimes i'd do it

116
00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:36.159
for you know, especially when she lived in the sheld accommodation.

117
00:09:36.799 --> 00:09:41.559
I'd make a cup of tea for her. I remember saying,

118
00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:43.720
I remember the first time made her a cup of tea.

119
00:09:44.480 --> 00:09:46.240
Which is going to sound weird, but I think the

120
00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:48.200
first time I ever made my name a cup of tea,

121
00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:53.559
I was in my forties. She always did it, you know,

122
00:09:54.159 --> 00:10:01.960
And I remember saying, how many sugars then six said

123
00:10:02.159 --> 00:10:08.360
six sugars of the tea, and being being British, being

124
00:10:08.440 --> 00:10:11.399
English or whatever I had, I had no choice but

125
00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:15.240
to say, oh, would you like some tea with your sugar?

126
00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:21.679
Because you know, all English people say that, and we

127
00:10:21.759 --> 00:10:26.679
find it hilarious every time we say it. Yes we do, Yes,

128
00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:33.759
we do viny yes. Starting another one is like when

129
00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:36.480
someone say in Hell, I won't say the actual word

130
00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:39.960
f in hell, and the comeback for that, being English

131
00:10:40.039 --> 00:10:46.840
is I hope so there's no TV there. It's what

132
00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:49.360
did I say? I heard radio DJ the other day

133
00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:55.720
moaning about pigeons. Now, if you follow me, you know

134
00:10:55.799 --> 00:10:57.919
that I'm a pigeon lover. Horace is one of my

135
00:10:57.960 --> 00:11:02.080
best friends. And here's a pigeon's visited me for ten years.

136
00:11:03.799 --> 00:11:08.360
It's weird. He looks younger now. Oh but and there's

137
00:11:08.360 --> 00:11:12.360
a different color. But you know, Horace like, I love pigeons.

138
00:11:12.399 --> 00:11:16.159
I always have done, even when as a little kid

139
00:11:17.879 --> 00:11:22.600
going to Trafalgar Square. That was this DJ. This radio

140
00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:28.279
presenter was moaning about pigeons, and he lives in London

141
00:11:29.840 --> 00:11:31.919
and he was saying, it's so good now that they

142
00:11:32.480 --> 00:11:38.360
the government or the London mayor at the time managed

143
00:11:38.399 --> 00:11:45.000
to get rid of those people selling I don't know,

144
00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:51.440
pigeons seed to the tourists in order to stop encouraging

145
00:11:51.480 --> 00:11:54.600
because I made it illegal to try and get rid

146
00:11:54.639 --> 00:12:00.320
of the pigeons from Trafalgar Square. What did they think

147
00:12:00.399 --> 00:12:07.200
Trafalgar Square was famous for around the world, those big statues.

148
00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:13.519
Maybe the pigeons. Yeah, as an experience, the statues don't

149
00:12:13.559 --> 00:12:18.360
do anything. They just stand there, and yeah, they mean something.

150
00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:20.519
I don't know what they are, but they mean something

151
00:12:21.080 --> 00:12:26.559
to people that are into that stuff historically. I mean,

152
00:12:29.559 --> 00:12:35.440
is is church. I don't even know what statues are

153
00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:39.000
in Trafalgar Square to be honest with you. I know

154
00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:41.759
there's a lion. There's a lion. Isn't there a big

155
00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:46.240
golden lion or silver lion or something like that? And

156
00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:51.360
I mean they are impressive, especially when you're a little kid, like, Wow,

157
00:12:51.440 --> 00:12:55.639
they're huge. How did they manage to fit them on there? God,

158
00:12:55.679 --> 00:12:59.360
whoever lifted that must have been super strong. Perhaps it

159
00:12:59.480 --> 00:13:05.440
was super Man. That's that's what Well, that's what my

160
00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:07.360
brothers were saying. I said, nope, it's a wonder Woman

161
00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:11.399
because I was obsessed with Wonder Woman back then, and

162
00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:16.360
I just you don't like. Actually, what do people take

163
00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:19.559
pictures of You can't take picture of you. I suppose

164
00:13:19.720 --> 00:13:24.320
if you're if you're far enough away from the statue,

165
00:13:24.360 --> 00:13:26.039
you can get a picture of you with the statue

166
00:13:26.039 --> 00:13:28.960
in the background. I guess, like the Eiffel Tower and

167
00:13:29.039 --> 00:13:31.639
things like that, which is just up the road, I think,

168
00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:36.480
I think that's in Leicester Square. And but what do

169
00:13:36.519 --> 00:13:39.519
people go home with when they've been to Like what

170
00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:43.159
back in those days, in the seventies, any eighties maybe,

171
00:13:43.639 --> 00:13:48.600
and probably decades before that, people took photographs of their

172
00:13:48.600 --> 00:13:53.200
holiday to London. There would be at least one photograph

173
00:13:53.200 --> 00:13:59.799
of them covered in pigeons. That's what Travalger Square was

174
00:13:59.799 --> 00:14:04.879
fair as far the pigeons, they got rid of it.

175
00:14:04.879 --> 00:14:12.720
They got rid of the pigeons, and I can't seem

176
00:14:12.759 --> 00:14:15.440
to let it go. It's weird. I didn't realize it

177
00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:19.279
affected me so much. I love the pigeons. One of

178
00:14:19.360 --> 00:14:28.240
my happiest memories as a child was apart from being

179
00:14:28.279 --> 00:14:34.639
on a rough Harry show, which was kind of that's

180
00:14:34.679 --> 00:14:38.600
a whole different. What are you doing. You're attacking me.

181
00:14:39.159 --> 00:14:42.120
I'm talking to Vinny there, not rof He. It's a

182
00:14:42.240 --> 00:14:45.000
bit yeah, I was on a rough Harry show. That

183
00:14:45.039 --> 00:14:47.000
wasn't a joke. I seriously was on a rough Harry

184
00:14:47.039 --> 00:14:51.639
show when I was about ten nine or ten, and

185
00:14:51.679 --> 00:14:56.120
it was one of the best days of my life, genuinely.

186
00:14:56.639 --> 00:15:03.240
And I would say there's thousands and thousands and thousands

187
00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:06.360
of other kids that would also say the same. Maybe

188
00:15:06.399 --> 00:15:08.200
not the best day of their life, but it was

189
00:15:08.240 --> 00:15:13.799
an amazing experience for most people that did it, because

190
00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:18.000
it was just I loved it. I got to see

191
00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:23.519
Keith Keith Harris with awful and cuddles, and I got

192
00:15:23.559 --> 00:15:25.759
to see Dollar, who were really big at the time

193
00:15:25.799 --> 00:15:28.440
as well. They were a group. I can't remember what

194
00:15:28.519 --> 00:15:37.879
song they sung. You can do something like that anyway.

195
00:15:37.879 --> 00:15:39.600
I've talked about that before, but that that is just

196
00:15:39.720 --> 00:15:43.279
you know. But one of the experiences I really enjoyed

197
00:15:43.399 --> 00:15:46.679
was it was in the children's home and it's a

198
00:15:46.679 --> 00:15:51.200
little period between moving in with my dad and his

199
00:15:51.279 --> 00:15:55.759
new wife, and so it was in South End. We're

200
00:15:55.799 --> 00:15:58.320
going to move in. I don't think we even knew

201
00:15:58.360 --> 00:15:59.919
we were going to move in, but we were visi

202
00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:05.240
in every weekend to I guess for them to get

203
00:16:05.279 --> 00:16:06.799
to know us and us to get to know them.

204
00:16:06.919 --> 00:16:10.120
And to see whether or not they wanted to. You know,

205
00:16:10.159 --> 00:16:12.960
it was a process. It wasn't just like here's your

206
00:16:13.039 --> 00:16:15.200
kids who haven't seen them for five years, take them.

207
00:16:15.720 --> 00:16:19.960
It was there was a process to it. And even then,

208
00:16:20.320 --> 00:16:27.200
this was like nineteen seventy seven. So we'd go every weekend,

209
00:16:27.320 --> 00:16:35.200
and then one weekend our auntie picked us up and

210
00:16:35.399 --> 00:16:38.480
she said, oh, you're going to come and stay with

211
00:16:38.559 --> 00:16:43.159
me in London because the step mum's unwell, she's got

212
00:16:44.600 --> 00:16:48.200
I don't know measles or mumps or something like that.

213
00:16:49.159 --> 00:16:52.559
I said, what you're talking about Willis, which is weird

214
00:16:52.600 --> 00:16:55.200
because I've never seen different strokes at that point, because

215
00:16:55.360 --> 00:16:58.200
it hadn't been on, didn't come on to about seventy nine.

216
00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:02.679
I'm wondering maybe they copied me because I used to

217
00:17:02.679 --> 00:17:05.359
say that all the time. We were talking about Williss,

218
00:17:05.839 --> 00:17:10.440
even when I was like five. I could be owed

219
00:17:10.440 --> 00:17:17.160
some money royalties And she said, my name is not Willis,

220
00:17:17.200 --> 00:17:20.359
called me Auntie. I said, I don't know if I've

221
00:17:20.319 --> 00:17:23.519
really known you long enough to call you Auntie. How

222
00:17:23.559 --> 00:17:26.480
do I know you're really my auntie? You know you

223
00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:30.880
you just turn up out of the blue. I've met

224
00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:34.319
you a couple of times, submittedly, because you know, because

225
00:17:34.559 --> 00:17:36.119
there was that whole thing, you know, when we went

226
00:17:36.160 --> 00:17:41.960
around it was like I felt like I was in

227
00:17:42.000 --> 00:17:47.119
a zoo. When we went to visit my dad, Will

228
00:17:47.119 --> 00:17:49.039
he come and picked us up, took us back to

229
00:17:49.160 --> 00:17:52.279
where he lived with his wife and his wife's mum.

230
00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:57.720
They lived in her house, and all these people came along,

231
00:17:57.799 --> 00:18:01.480
like and his uncles and aunts and people I've never

232
00:18:01.559 --> 00:18:09.039
seen before. Like I'm your uncle. Really, I'm your uncle

233
00:18:09.079 --> 00:18:17.839
as well. Really I'm your auntie really, like you know,

234
00:18:17.880 --> 00:18:22.079
it's like I'm your uncle. Oh okay, and I'm also

235
00:18:22.160 --> 00:18:29.319
your auntie. Really I'm your cousin huh, Like like ten cousins,

236
00:18:30.160 --> 00:18:34.680
five uncles and aunt's ten cousins, nanny and granddad and

237
00:18:34.759 --> 00:18:40.559
another nanny. Like sit away too many people. So I

238
00:18:40.599 --> 00:18:46.880
didn't remember her. But that weekend was one of the

239
00:18:46.920 --> 00:18:50.279
best weekends ever. So she picked us up, took us

240
00:18:50.319 --> 00:18:55.920
to London. London's not far from the South End. It

241
00:18:56.160 --> 00:18:59.160
seemed a long way when you're a little kid to be.

242
00:18:59.400 --> 00:19:01.039
I don't even know if we was in a car.

243
00:19:01.200 --> 00:19:04.000
She might just might have gone on a train because

244
00:19:04.000 --> 00:19:07.559
there was a train directly to Liverpool Street. From South

245
00:19:07.640 --> 00:19:15.680
End Victoria. I made the journey many times as an adult. Yeah,

246
00:19:15.720 --> 00:19:21.119
I used to used to visit South End. South End

247
00:19:21.240 --> 00:19:23.000
used to be a place that I would go to

248
00:19:24.279 --> 00:19:29.200
when I fenceed a day out, like a kind of

249
00:19:30.920 --> 00:19:37.599
I think I took. Yeah, I took two different girlfriends

250
00:19:37.640 --> 00:19:40.960
there or too. I went on two different dates, maybe

251
00:19:41.039 --> 00:19:44.680
more to South End when I was living in London,

252
00:19:45.599 --> 00:19:48.319
and just like, let's go for a walk. Let's let's

253
00:19:48.319 --> 00:19:51.599
go for a walk. Let's go to South End, get

254
00:19:51.640 --> 00:19:54.079
on a train. It's like forty five minutes or whatever

255
00:19:54.160 --> 00:19:58.039
on a train, maybe an hour, I don't know, and

256
00:19:58.200 --> 00:20:02.000
then would be there South End Beach, have a nice

257
00:20:02.039 --> 00:20:05.119
walk and go on to the pier. That's a that's

258
00:20:05.160 --> 00:20:07.839
a journey in itself, just to walk along the pier.

259
00:20:09.240 --> 00:20:14.440
Candy floss, fish and chips. Maybe not candy flop. I

260
00:20:14.519 --> 00:20:22.920
suppose I did have candy floss, ice creams. Just what

261
00:20:23.039 --> 00:20:26.839
anything you want really is just like anywhere else. And

262
00:20:27.240 --> 00:20:30.559
it was a nice day out. It wasn't far away,

263
00:20:31.799 --> 00:20:36.640
but it was totally different from being in London, you know,

264
00:20:36.799 --> 00:20:39.799
being near the sea. I mean, South End is not

265
00:20:39.880 --> 00:20:45.440
the nearest sea if you're in London. I think there's

266
00:20:45.599 --> 00:20:49.400
closer sea. I think Harriage is closer. I'm not sure,

267
00:20:50.039 --> 00:20:53.680
but you've got bill Ricky. I don't know if that's

268
00:20:54.039 --> 00:20:56.240
the Isle of Dogs. I suppose there's a sea there.

269
00:20:56.400 --> 00:21:02.640
Maybe I wonder whether as a sea. I mean you've

270
00:21:02.680 --> 00:21:06.960
got the Thames which leads to the sea.

271
00:21:10.400 --> 00:21:10.720
H M.

272
00:21:18.839 --> 00:21:22.759
From the Yeah, I don't know. So, yeah, the South

273
00:21:22.839 --> 00:21:27.960
End it's where I used to go, but to this

274
00:21:28.119 --> 00:21:32.640
day in London, it was lovely, lovely, lovely, she remembered.

275
00:21:33.559 --> 00:21:41.359
Went to South End with a Spanish female that I

276
00:21:41.480 --> 00:21:50.839
met was Ith Strafford Strafford train station. I saw her

277
00:21:50.920 --> 00:21:54.279
and I thought I'd like to talk to her, so

278
00:21:54.319 --> 00:21:56.960
I went up to her. I just say, excuse me, sorry,

279
00:21:57.519 --> 00:22:01.960
could you tell me? He did tell me, and I

280
00:22:01.960 --> 00:22:03.519
asked you a question that I knew the answer to

281
00:22:06.400 --> 00:22:08.359
because I just wanted to talk to her, and I

282
00:22:08.480 --> 00:22:12.000
ended up She gave me a telephone number, a name,

283
00:22:12.079 --> 00:22:14.079
and her address. She wrote it down on the pieces

284
00:22:14.079 --> 00:22:17.599
of paper or did you have it already written down?

285
00:22:19.559 --> 00:22:24.240
Was it just randomly giving it out to men? Possibly? Anyway,

286
00:22:24.480 --> 00:22:26.720
So we went out. We talked on the phone a

287
00:22:26.720 --> 00:22:32.440
few days in a row, and then I kind of

288
00:22:32.440 --> 00:22:35.000
fell for her really, she was just I just really

289
00:22:35.039 --> 00:22:40.880
liked her a lot. And we went out to South

290
00:22:41.000 --> 00:22:45.200
End for the day and there was a couple of

291
00:22:45.359 --> 00:22:48.519
Because you know when you're when you were abroad, you

292
00:22:48.559 --> 00:22:52.960
can hear your own language being spoken knya, like it's

293
00:22:53.000 --> 00:22:56.039
just one of those things. I remember when I was

294
00:22:56.079 --> 00:23:01.880
in Belgium. There was we were walking down the street

295
00:23:01.960 --> 00:23:06.000
in Belgium and I was with like three or four

296
00:23:06.160 --> 00:23:08.440
people from work. This is when I was about eighteen,

297
00:23:10.279 --> 00:23:14.960
and we were walking down this busy road and suddenly

298
00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:22.119
one of my work colleagues shouted out English, you're English

299
00:23:23.640 --> 00:23:26.519
over this crowd and the other there was another little

300
00:23:26.640 --> 00:23:32.559
group of men and English. Your English got so excited

301
00:23:32.880 --> 00:23:39.079
to meet another English but speaking person. I mean we'd

302
00:23:39.160 --> 00:23:42.720
only been there for about ten minutes. How much can

303
00:23:42.759 --> 00:23:45.880
you miss the fact that it was with four other

304
00:23:45.920 --> 00:23:50.359
people that also spoke English. Why would he miss being

305
00:23:50.400 --> 00:23:57.039
around English speaking people so much? I didn't understand it.

306
00:23:58.319 --> 00:24:00.759
I think couldn't really get it. But it was because

307
00:24:00.759 --> 00:24:04.400
they were jumping up and down, hugging each other. It

308
00:24:04.519 --> 00:24:09.880
was very erotic, it was. It was kind of strange.

309
00:24:12.440 --> 00:24:17.720
So anyway, I was, yeah, we were walking me in

310
00:24:17.759 --> 00:24:25.519
this what was her name, Martyr, Moditor, Moditor. We're walking

311
00:24:25.640 --> 00:24:34.799
down the Yeah, we walked on the pier and suddenly

312
00:24:35.279 --> 00:24:42.799
she noticed a couple of Spanish men and they noticed

313
00:24:42.880 --> 00:24:49.039
her and they started talking in I couldn't really understand

314
00:24:49.039 --> 00:24:50.839
what they were saying in some kind of language, different

315
00:24:50.880 --> 00:24:57.759
language to English. And even though it's in a different language,

316
00:24:59.039 --> 00:25:01.839
I can, I could. I knew what they were saying.

317
00:25:02.880 --> 00:25:06.599
It was weird. And I asked her and she told me,

318
00:25:06.799 --> 00:25:11.480
she said, yeah, I was right. So what I could

319
00:25:11.559 --> 00:25:15.319
see and it was, you know, they were not speaking English.

320
00:25:15.519 --> 00:25:20.720
They were basically mocking me. And they said I was

321
00:25:20.720 --> 00:25:29.119
like your boyfriend, and she said no, but it wasn't that. No, no,

322
00:25:29.440 --> 00:25:32.200
like that. Yeah, bearing in mind that we kind of

323
00:25:32.240 --> 00:25:39.359
were dating ish kind of, and I knew, even in

324
00:25:39.400 --> 00:25:45.119
another language, it's the same energy, it's the same looks,

325
00:25:45.240 --> 00:25:49.599
it's the same it was the same tone of voice.

326
00:25:51.680 --> 00:26:02.160
And yeah, it was a bit awkward after that. Yeah,

327
00:26:02.319 --> 00:26:04.039
I've don't know if that was before or after I

328
00:26:04.160 --> 00:26:08.160
visited her at her home, because she invited me around. Yeah,

329
00:26:08.160 --> 00:26:10.519
I think it was. It was before she vibd me

330
00:26:10.559 --> 00:26:15.960
around to her place because she was a nanny her

331
00:26:16.880 --> 00:26:20.400
all pair air pair she had. She was an O

332
00:26:20.559 --> 00:26:27.960
pair and so she was nineteen. I was, what twenty three?

333
00:26:28.440 --> 00:26:32.359
And she had dark where she was Spanish and she

334
00:26:32.440 --> 00:26:38.119
had dark hair and brown eyes. But I'm guessing the

335
00:26:38.119 --> 00:26:40.880
majority of people in Spain have probably got dark hair

336
00:26:40.920 --> 00:26:44.319
and brown eyes, because that's the Spanish look, isn't it.

337
00:26:46.200 --> 00:26:47.720
Did you know that most people in the world have

338
00:26:47.720 --> 00:26:53.599
got brown eyes? Blue eyes is an anomaly? Did you

339
00:26:53.640 --> 00:26:57.319
know that? I just thought that blue eyes because I

340
00:26:57.359 --> 00:27:00.920
got blue eyes. I just thought it's just most people

341
00:27:00.920 --> 00:27:05.039
would have blue eyes, but they haven't. Apparently apparently not

342
00:27:05.160 --> 00:27:14.880
everyone looks like me. I don't understand. So she's yeah,

343
00:27:14.960 --> 00:27:18.960
I really liked her. I really fancied her, But I

344
00:27:19.000 --> 00:27:21.000
really liked her. I did get on really I got

345
00:27:21.039 --> 00:27:23.839
on well with her on the phone, even though there

346
00:27:23.960 --> 00:27:30.799
was communication in English was really good, but my Spanish

347
00:27:30.960 --> 00:27:41.920
was zero. She taught me a few words see signor

348
00:27:46.000 --> 00:28:00.440
a cappella. I think that's Spanish, isn't it? Was it? Yeah? Yeah, Elle?

349
00:28:00.519 --> 00:28:03.160
If you say L before you any sentence, I think

350
00:28:03.200 --> 00:28:11.759
that helps L Hello, no, not l honcho? No Hello?

351
00:28:11.920 --> 00:28:27.160
What's the oh? I know the word for hello in Spain? Hello, Hello, Hello,

352
00:28:27.440 --> 00:28:35.519
Madora he I don't know. I've never been great with

353
00:28:35.599 --> 00:28:40.000
languages I did I needed. I learned a few words

354
00:28:41.000 --> 00:28:50.160
in Thai. I learned a few words in Bulgaria, but

355
00:28:50.200 --> 00:28:56.480
that was just because I was talking to females at

356
00:28:56.519 --> 00:29:01.359
the time that I wanted to. I guess community I

357
00:29:01.440 --> 00:29:05.640
found at very early age. Probably it was probably with

358
00:29:05.799 --> 00:29:13.480
the Spanish lady that sometimes having a different language can

359
00:29:14.279 --> 00:29:22.799
be useful for communication or useful for like the beginning

360
00:29:22.839 --> 00:29:28.319
of a relationship, because learning each other's words. And I

361
00:29:28.359 --> 00:29:30.960
also figured out after years and years and years, the

362
00:29:31.000 --> 00:29:33.440
reason I got on so well with foreign women is

363
00:29:33.480 --> 00:29:36.039
because it took them longer to realize what I was

364
00:29:36.039 --> 00:29:41.799
really like. They thought I was nice for much longer

365
00:29:41.799 --> 00:29:44.079
than people that had met me that knew what I

366
00:29:44.160 --> 00:29:46.880
was saying. Once I realized what I was saying, they

367
00:29:46.880 --> 00:29:53.200
didn't necessarily like me so much. I'm joking kind of.

368
00:29:56.680 --> 00:30:01.200
I did upset someone in Thailand, a waitress, didn't mean to,

369
00:30:01.599 --> 00:30:07.319
genuinely did not mean to. It turned out I was

370
00:30:07.359 --> 00:30:12.559
trying to communicate with her, well, she was trying to

371
00:30:12.559 --> 00:30:19.279
communicate with me, and I was getting it wrong. So

372
00:30:19.920 --> 00:30:25.039
there was all these posters around for this, like some

373
00:30:25.119 --> 00:30:32.240
kind of wind where a bikinie beauty contest, a bikini pageant.

374
00:30:34.599 --> 00:30:36.359
There was posters all over this place. It was just

375
00:30:36.400 --> 00:30:42.799
a bar. It was like a normal bar restaurant, so Hooters,

376
00:30:42.799 --> 00:30:44.920
but it was still you know, they have food and

377
00:30:44.960 --> 00:30:49.960
stuff and I like it. I've never been I've never

378
00:30:50.000 --> 00:30:52.960
been into I like American bars, and that was just

379
00:30:53.039 --> 00:31:00.720
like an opportunity to go there every day. And there

380
00:31:00.759 --> 00:31:05.079
wasn't anything weird. It's just a normal you know. It

381
00:31:05.160 --> 00:31:07.720
was a family place. You could take your kids and stuff.

382
00:31:08.519 --> 00:31:12.480
I didn't have any kids to take, but if I had,

383
00:31:12.599 --> 00:31:16.480
I wouldn't wouldn't. Yeah, I mean, it's not holiday, is

384
00:31:16.519 --> 00:31:20.880
it if you've got kids with you? How is that

385
00:31:21.000 --> 00:31:25.200
a holiday? A holiday is when the kids are the

386
00:31:25.240 --> 00:31:28.759
other side of the world. Surely maybe not. Maybe got

387
00:31:28.799 --> 00:31:34.920
it wrong. I used to know someone that said, if

388
00:31:35.880 --> 00:31:39.000
the idea of it, it's not a decent holiday, if

389
00:31:39.759 --> 00:31:41.839
it's not a proper holiday, if when you get home,

390
00:31:44.920 --> 00:31:49.200
it's only a proper holiday if you get home and

391
00:31:49.240 --> 00:31:52.680
you need a holiday. So if you completely exhaust yourself,

392
00:31:53.480 --> 00:31:56.200
then it's a proper holiday. You've had. It's like, No,

393
00:31:57.039 --> 00:32:01.319
that's the opposite to what I'm thinking of. You know,

394
00:32:01.400 --> 00:32:09.519
because you like to go skiing and windsurfing and probably

395
00:32:09.599 --> 00:32:16.000
mounting climbing and pothole in and deep sea dive in,

396
00:32:17.039 --> 00:32:26.359
swimming with sharks, you know, all the things that I

397
00:32:26.359 --> 00:32:29.720
wouldn't want to do. And it's got nothing to do

398
00:32:29.799 --> 00:32:31.839
with lack of fitness, because you know, I'm not as

399
00:32:31.880 --> 00:32:37.000
fit as I used to be. It's I don't think.

400
00:32:37.039 --> 00:32:42.200
I think my mounting mountain climbing days are possibly behind me,

401
00:32:44.400 --> 00:32:47.480
but they were never in front of me either. I've

402
00:32:47.519 --> 00:32:50.039
never wanted to jump out of a plane. I've never

403
00:32:50.079 --> 00:32:53.640
wanted to go down a pothole and start Not a pothole,

404
00:32:53.759 --> 00:32:57.079
is it potholding. I didn't want to go down like

405
00:32:57.519 --> 00:33:00.960
find a crack in the earth and let's see where

406
00:33:00.960 --> 00:33:07.200
this leads. No, no, it's like, no, that's just I'm

407
00:33:07.200 --> 00:33:12.839
not not not interested in that. You know, Oh, let's

408
00:33:12.839 --> 00:33:18.400
go down to the bottom of the ocean. No, No,

409
00:33:18.480 --> 00:33:22.519
I never I never wanted to do that. That's that's

410
00:33:22.559 --> 00:33:26.599
a that's a deal breaker. I used to be in

411
00:33:26.599 --> 00:33:34.759
love with this this female that really really really liked

412
00:33:34.759 --> 00:33:37.279
her a lot. She didn't really know I existed, but

413
00:33:37.359 --> 00:33:41.400
she I really liked her, and I got talking to her.

414
00:33:41.559 --> 00:33:44.359
I finally got managed to build up the coage to

415
00:33:44.440 --> 00:33:48.640
say alone. And this is when I was a prison

416
00:33:48.680 --> 00:33:52.799
guard in a women's prison, so eventually you know, no,

417
00:33:53.039 --> 00:33:57.599
this is so I don't know I got talking. I

418
00:33:57.599 --> 00:34:01.079
think it was like what you're doing? You're right? She said, Oh,

419
00:34:01.200 --> 00:34:02.839
I think I said see you next week, hold onm

420
00:34:02.839 --> 00:34:07.680
on holiday next week. Okay. Normally if someone told me

421
00:34:07.680 --> 00:34:10.760
they're on holiday next week, because they are like, why

422
00:34:10.760 --> 00:34:15.159
are you telling me? What use is that information? How

423
00:34:15.199 --> 00:34:17.440
am I gonna How is that going to benefit me

424
00:34:17.519 --> 00:34:20.079
knowing you're on holiday next week? Which could be a

425
00:34:20.119 --> 00:34:23.599
bit attitudinal. I've gotta work on that. Maybe when I

426
00:34:23.639 --> 00:34:25.920
was younger, that is, you know, that's when I was

427
00:34:25.960 --> 00:34:30.320
like five or six, stinking thinking I did when I

428
00:34:30.360 --> 00:34:39.760
was five or six, just like, yeah, Christmas, look Jason,

429
00:34:40.079 --> 00:34:44.360
look where your brother's bought me for Christmas. It's it's

430
00:34:44.599 --> 00:34:48.159
uh like I never heard the end of the rest

431
00:34:48.159 --> 00:34:51.000
of it because I switched off. It's like, why do

432
00:34:51.079 --> 00:34:55.440
I care what is brought for you for Christmas? I

433
00:34:55.480 --> 00:34:57.360
don't even care what I bought you. I don't care

434
00:34:57.360 --> 00:34:59.719
about what I bought you for Christmas. I'm only interesting

435
00:34:59.760 --> 00:35:05.320
what I get for Christmas. Christmas is about receiving, not giving,

436
00:35:07.159 --> 00:35:12.280
and any kid that says the opposite is lying. It's

437
00:35:12.320 --> 00:35:18.239
about receiving presents. How many kids do you think go

438
00:35:18.320 --> 00:35:22.599
to sleep Christmas Eve and they can't get like mom,

439
00:35:22.800 --> 00:35:25.119
I can't get to sleep, I can't get to sleep,

440
00:35:25.159 --> 00:35:28.519
and their parents going, what is it? Little JJ, I

441
00:35:28.559 --> 00:35:31.719
can't get to sleep? Daddy and mama, Dad and mama?

442
00:35:32.320 --> 00:35:35.000
Why is it? Why can't you get to sleep? Is

443
00:35:35.039 --> 00:35:36.360
it because Father Christmas?

444
00:35:36.400 --> 00:35:37.079
And yeah?

445
00:35:37.199 --> 00:35:39.840
Is it because of Christmas morning tomorrow? Yeah? It is?

446
00:35:40.320 --> 00:35:42.719
He said, Well, what is it that's keeping you awake?

447
00:35:43.199 --> 00:35:46.760
He said, I just can't. I can't. I can't sleep

448
00:35:46.760 --> 00:35:50.800
because I'm so worried and excited about whether or not

449
00:35:50.840 --> 00:35:56.079
you'll like the presence I bought you for Christmas. That

450
00:35:56.239 --> 00:36:01.199
conversation has never happened, not once. I guarantee you that.

451
00:36:02.320 --> 00:36:04.440
But I'm just, I'm just I just want you to

452
00:36:04.480 --> 00:36:10.159
be happy, like any kid cares. What they want is

453
00:36:10.239 --> 00:36:12.679
to be happy. Oh my right my big tom or

454
00:36:12.760 --> 00:36:16.440
right foot just seesed up. Thankfully, I don't need to

455
00:36:16.519 --> 00:36:20.280
use it very often, so it's okay. Oh that was weird.

456
00:36:20.800 --> 00:36:27.159
I stretched. It doesn't normally get any stretching. I'm only joking,

457
00:36:27.159 --> 00:36:31.400
by the way, when they'd say things, it wasn't really

458
00:36:31.559 --> 00:36:38.719
didn't really like get stiff. I got one of my

459
00:36:38.840 --> 00:36:44.679
legs seizes up sometimes the calf muscle, and it changes

460
00:36:44.760 --> 00:36:49.719
my mood. I remember was on a date with someone and

461
00:36:49.800 --> 00:36:52.760
I was in here and it was going quite well. Well,

462
00:36:53.440 --> 00:36:56.280
she hadn't left, so I always take that as a

463
00:36:56.320 --> 00:37:03.679
positive sign. And I've been sitting down. So I just

464
00:37:03.719 --> 00:37:06.400
stood up and stretched my legs. I just I don't know,

465
00:37:06.480 --> 00:37:09.440
you know, we kind of probably got onto my toes

466
00:37:11.119 --> 00:37:16.559
and my left calf cramped up, and she was like,

467
00:37:17.400 --> 00:37:21.039
oh you okay, like caffrey. I wasn't quite that bad,

468
00:37:21.079 --> 00:37:28.079
but it was like, oh, how was not pleasant? She said,

469
00:37:28.440 --> 00:37:32.599
draw into message and said no, and she did. I said,

470
00:37:32.639 --> 00:37:36.719
oh okay, so that helped. She says that better. I

471
00:37:36.719 --> 00:37:39.840
said yeah, and I said I've got to go and

472
00:37:39.840 --> 00:37:45.239
get something like ohh, I've cramped up again. What your

473
00:37:45.280 --> 00:37:48.599
calf are going? No, it's mick grhyin. No, I made

474
00:37:48.599 --> 00:37:57.320
that up. So the pigeons, I just like the pigeons.

475
00:37:57.360 --> 00:37:59.639
What's this got to do with biscuits. I've got to

476
00:37:59.639 --> 00:38:09.920
talk biscuits. But I can't even remember where I was

477
00:38:09.960 --> 00:38:12.840
going with that. I don't know if I was going anywhere, really,

478
00:38:17.480 --> 00:38:19.840
but I remember her. She was nice. I was what

479
00:38:20.039 --> 00:38:29.360
ninety four time. She was so lovely. I forgot I

480
00:38:29.360 --> 00:38:45.159
had a girlfriend. No, I didn't forget, so I I yeah, biscuits.

481
00:38:45.519 --> 00:38:48.840
These biscuits at my nan head. They were lovely and

482
00:38:48.840 --> 00:38:51.920
I'd have them every single time I visited her. I

483
00:38:51.960 --> 00:38:54.239
can't remember the name of them, but they're really nice.

484
00:38:54.639 --> 00:38:58.760
They're nice with all without tea. I mean, you can

485
00:38:58.760 --> 00:39:05.599
dip them or not dip them. Never double dip. One

486
00:39:05.679 --> 00:39:13.840
dips enough otherwise it would break. And I don't know

487
00:39:13.840 --> 00:39:16.960
what it is once once a biscuit's broken into the tea,

488
00:39:17.800 --> 00:39:21.400
I mean some some do float on the top, but

489
00:39:21.559 --> 00:39:23.679
some don't. Some will just sink down to the bottom.

490
00:39:24.280 --> 00:39:28.760
And it's almost I feel like the tea is contaminated.

491
00:39:31.199 --> 00:39:36.800
I don't want to drink the tea anymore unless I

492
00:39:36.840 --> 00:39:40.679
get spoon and I get the biscuit out. But the

493
00:39:40.679 --> 00:39:42.360
weird thing about it, even though I feel like the

494
00:39:42.400 --> 00:39:44.880
tea is contaminated, I don't want to drink the tea

495
00:39:45.440 --> 00:39:47.360
when you get the biscuit out of spoon, I want

496
00:39:47.360 --> 00:39:52.159
to eat the biscuit. It's weird, isn't it. It's like

497
00:39:52.280 --> 00:39:54.960
I don't want to drink that water from that from

498
00:39:55.000 --> 00:39:58.920
that river because it's waste at the bottom, and then

499
00:39:58.960 --> 00:40:04.239
getting the waste out and munching on it. No weird, weird.

500
00:40:08.360 --> 00:40:12.679
Other biscuits. I think my favorite biscuits are probably plain

501
00:40:12.719 --> 00:40:22.760
old digestives Mcvitti's digestives and I like rich tea as well.

502
00:40:25.079 --> 00:40:29.239
They're the two best biscuits for dipping into tea. I think,

503
00:40:30.440 --> 00:40:37.239
in my opinion, the thing is you've got to really,

504
00:40:37.599 --> 00:40:40.079
I mean, that's why we're trained in I don't know.

505
00:40:40.199 --> 00:40:42.000
If you're not in England, you might not know this,

506
00:40:42.119 --> 00:40:46.519
but in England we actually have classes at school for

507
00:40:47.119 --> 00:40:52.320
biscuit dipping and it's called biscuit dipping. That's just the class.

508
00:40:52.360 --> 00:40:56.119
It's called biscuit dipping. What you're doing where you've got

509
00:40:56.119 --> 00:41:00.880
to go? I've got maths? Oh where you biscuit? Okay,

510
00:41:01.239 --> 00:41:04.800
just give you an example. And you might think you

511
00:41:04.880 --> 00:41:06.599
might be in a country. So what do you mean maths?

512
00:41:07.400 --> 00:41:10.719
Don't you need math? No maths, that's the correct way.

513
00:41:11.199 --> 00:41:19.679
It's not mathematic, it's mathematics. Maths is short for mathematics,

514
00:41:20.800 --> 00:41:26.280
not mathematic. There's no such thing as mathematic. It's mathematics.

515
00:41:27.280 --> 00:41:29.599
I'm just you know. It's all about helping, isn't it.

516
00:41:30.400 --> 00:41:37.199
And so we have these classes at school. It's in

517
00:41:37.239 --> 00:41:41.079
every year right away from like infant school all the

518
00:41:41.079 --> 00:41:44.119
way up to high school. By the time you get

519
00:41:44.119 --> 00:41:47.079
to leave school at like sixteen maybe eighteen, depending on

520
00:41:47.079 --> 00:41:52.719
when you leave, you almost become a master of biscuit dipping.

521
00:41:54.239 --> 00:41:57.000
It's not just tea. You have to learn coffee. The

522
00:41:57.039 --> 00:42:00.239
problem of coffee is it tends to hold the heat

523
00:42:00.280 --> 00:42:04.920
a little bit longer unless you put lots of milk in.

524
00:42:06.760 --> 00:42:09.639
Tea tends to calm down. We become experts on tea

525
00:42:09.639 --> 00:42:13.159
and coffee as well, the temperatures, how to make a

526
00:42:13.199 --> 00:42:19.360
cup of tea. See, the problem is, though, there's a

527
00:42:19.400 --> 00:42:21.960
little bit. It's become a little bit like a religion

528
00:42:23.840 --> 00:42:28.320
tea making in this country. So you know, you've got

529
00:42:28.400 --> 00:42:35.159
kind of the Catholics, the Protestants, the different Anglo Anglican

530
00:42:35.320 --> 00:42:39.840
churches and different kinds of Christianity ish stuff. It's a

531
00:42:39.880 --> 00:42:45.320
little bit like that with tea making. So there's people

532
00:42:45.400 --> 00:42:52.800
that put the milk in before the water, before the

533
00:42:52.840 --> 00:42:57.760
hot water, and those people put the milk in after

534
00:42:57.840 --> 00:43:02.159
the hot water. So it's very much a controversial thing.

535
00:43:02.880 --> 00:43:05.119
Once the year, people have go on rallies, so they

536
00:43:06.039 --> 00:43:09.000
they all dress up as biscuits. It's just very, very

537
00:43:09.239 --> 00:43:16.039
very strange, and for some reason they decided to take

538
00:43:16.119 --> 00:43:19.559
the rich tea and digestive. They're kind of taking those

539
00:43:19.599 --> 00:43:25.800
two even though it's not really about biscuits, not really,

540
00:43:27.199 --> 00:43:30.519
but you know, they've kind of taken on because milk.

541
00:43:30.639 --> 00:43:34.360
They have the white like the the what's it called

542
00:43:34.480 --> 00:43:38.440
the rich tea because they're kind of much paler than

543
00:43:38.440 --> 00:43:43.159
a digestive biscuit. So they're the ones that like the

544
00:43:43.239 --> 00:43:47.840
milk in first. Digestives are now classes the ones that

545
00:43:48.000 --> 00:43:51.880
like the milk in afterwards. So I'm a digestive because

546
00:43:52.679 --> 00:43:55.960
you know, you put the water in for me. They

547
00:43:55.960 --> 00:43:58.800
put the water in with a tea bag and then

548
00:43:58.960 --> 00:44:06.960
add the milk. So it's just some people, do you

549
00:44:07.000 --> 00:44:09.480
know something like you can't put the milk in first

550
00:44:09.480 --> 00:44:12.920
because the hot water, Scotch is the milk. I've never

551
00:44:13.000 --> 00:44:19.159
heard milk scream once. Oh stop stop, it's never so

552
00:44:19.360 --> 00:44:21.039
I don't know where they come up with that stuff.

553
00:44:22.880 --> 00:44:25.639
I don't even know would people even notice if you

554
00:44:25.679 --> 00:44:28.639
did a blind test and you gave someone a cup

555
00:44:28.679 --> 00:44:32.079
of tea, Because I've made cups of two people and

556
00:44:32.119 --> 00:44:35.000
I've never once had them say, wait a minute, did

557
00:44:35.079 --> 00:44:41.960
you put the milk in first or the opposite? You know, Plus,

558
00:44:42.000 --> 00:44:45.519
I like to do whatever they I like to do

559
00:44:45.559 --> 00:44:47.679
the opposite to what people say. When I was younger,

560
00:44:47.679 --> 00:44:52.480
not now, but when I was younger. So someone said, oh,

561
00:44:52.920 --> 00:44:55.159
make sure you put the milk in before the tea

562
00:44:55.199 --> 00:44:57.760
bag and the hot water. I would do the opposite,

563
00:44:57.800 --> 00:45:03.440
and they never knew they could tell the difference, So

564
00:45:03.559 --> 00:45:07.039
I just there was one time, though I did it,

565
00:45:07.599 --> 00:45:09.840
I gave them the wrong cup, so I ended up

566
00:45:09.840 --> 00:45:11.920
with the one with the milk in before the tea bag.

567
00:45:12.039 --> 00:45:17.760
It was disgusting. I was so angry, and I didn't

568
00:45:17.800 --> 00:45:22.679
know at the time, but once I realized it tasted

569
00:45:22.679 --> 00:45:25.239
the same at the time, but once I realized it

570
00:45:25.280 --> 00:45:31.800
tasted horrible, it was a week later. But dear Jason,

571
00:45:33.960 --> 00:45:40.559
these are boring mondays. I used to like them because

572
00:45:40.599 --> 00:45:44.119
you'd focus on a subject you seemed to have lost

573
00:45:44.119 --> 00:45:47.840
your way a little bit. The reason one where you

574
00:45:47.920 --> 00:45:56.519
talked about biscuits and scorched milk and a Spanish girlfriend

575
00:45:58.880 --> 00:46:07.880
and teammaking classes. Biscuit dipp in. It's just just goth

576
00:46:08.360 --> 00:46:13.239
gone in a weird direction. Please can you talk about

577
00:46:13.320 --> 00:46:23.760
tires next week? It's okay, I don't know. I'm still

578
00:46:23.840 --> 00:46:32.880
not an expert though a biscuit dipping occasionally if I'm distracted. Okay,

579
00:46:34.360 --> 00:46:42.599
So let's remember there was, Yeah, I had this part

580
00:46:42.679 --> 00:46:45.599
time job. No I was. I was in a bank

581
00:46:46.800 --> 00:46:51.639
and I was I think I was trying to get

582
00:46:51.679 --> 00:46:53.679
a loan or something, and they gave me a cup

583
00:46:53.719 --> 00:46:56.840
of tea and at biscuit I coudn't believe it's this

584
00:46:56.920 --> 00:47:00.000
is good. So I'm there at one of those tables

585
00:47:00.119 --> 00:47:03.920
opposite the bank wasn't the bank manager, but someone that

586
00:47:04.000 --> 00:47:05.920
worked in the bank, and then there was the big

587
00:47:06.000 --> 00:47:07.920
counter over the other side, and there's a few other

588
00:47:08.079 --> 00:47:11.280
tables dotted around. So I'm just having a cup of

589
00:47:11.280 --> 00:47:17.599
tea and the bank gets robbed. So these bank robbers

590
00:47:17.639 --> 00:47:23.599
come in and shouted and stuff. So that distracted me

591
00:47:25.079 --> 00:47:27.880
because I was trying to dip my biscuit in, but

592
00:47:27.920 --> 00:47:31.599
I left it in too far, too too long, and

593
00:47:31.679 --> 00:47:38.679
it broke. Now that nearly ruined my day, and all

594
00:47:38.719 --> 00:47:43.400
I remember is them, Shannon, get down on the floor.

595
00:47:43.480 --> 00:47:46.599
Get down on the floor, don't look at us, don't

596
00:47:46.639 --> 00:47:52.519
stop stop dunking your biscuit and your tea. I was like,

597
00:47:55.280 --> 00:47:58.800
what else am I supposed to do? Because as an

598
00:47:58.880 --> 00:48:05.559
english person, there's there's a saying in England once you

599
00:48:05.760 --> 00:48:11.920
start dipping that that's it. So once you start to

600
00:48:11.960 --> 00:48:16.840
dip a biscuit in your tea, that's what you're going

601
00:48:16.920 --> 00:48:23.159
to do. Because the whole process starts with the thought

602
00:48:23.880 --> 00:48:28.880
of dipping the biscuit in the cup of tea. It's

603
00:48:28.920 --> 00:48:31.440
not just like we don't do it any old now,

604
00:48:33.360 --> 00:48:36.280
you know, especially if you've been trained from the age

605
00:48:36.320 --> 00:48:39.800
of two how to dip biscuits in tea, because you've

606
00:48:39.800 --> 00:48:44.559
been trained at school like we are. And by the way,

607
00:48:44.559 --> 00:48:47.320
if you ever get into if you ever want if

608
00:48:47.320 --> 00:48:49.280
you're in another country and you want to, you know,

609
00:48:50.119 --> 00:48:54.840
show off your knowledge of other countries, this is something

610
00:48:54.880 --> 00:49:01.679
you could tell people that they'll be fascinated and impressed.

611
00:49:01.719 --> 00:49:06.239
Probably in fact, they may if it's a crowd of

612
00:49:06.280 --> 00:49:08.800
people that may actually lift you above their shoulders and

613
00:49:09.119 --> 00:49:14.679
parade you around the streets singing your name loudly. So

614
00:49:15.119 --> 00:49:24.119
it's possible anything's possible, I suppose. And once you have

615
00:49:24.239 --> 00:49:27.599
the idea, I'm going to I want to dip a

616
00:49:27.719 --> 00:49:31.960
biscuit in the tea. And it wasn't there to start with,

617
00:49:32.159 --> 00:49:33.679
but you know, I had the cup of tea and

618
00:49:33.679 --> 00:49:39.039
I thought I wish I had some biscuits. That's another thing.

619
00:49:39.119 --> 00:49:44.159
Normally English people carry around biscuits and we keep them

620
00:49:44.199 --> 00:49:47.880
in our socks before we say oh, that's grim. No,

621
00:49:47.920 --> 00:49:51.880
they're in a packet. You know, they're not. They're not

622
00:49:52.119 --> 00:49:55.920
you know, it's not the whole big, massive, long packet

623
00:49:55.920 --> 00:50:01.360
of biscuits. These are smaller packets, so you might get

624
00:50:01.400 --> 00:50:06.840
maybe three biscuits or two biscuits maybe, so they fit

625
00:50:06.920 --> 00:50:15.760
inside the socks quite easily. And so generally every english

626
00:50:15.840 --> 00:50:18.880
Person would have at least one packet of biscuits in

627
00:50:18.920 --> 00:50:22.559
their socks. Now depends how long you're going to be

628
00:50:22.559 --> 00:50:26.440
out for. If you just if you're just popping around

629
00:50:26.480 --> 00:50:33.079
a neighbor's house, then you just like one one packet

630
00:50:33.119 --> 00:50:36.679
of one packet of biscuits and your socks is normally enough.

631
00:50:41.159 --> 00:50:46.119
And it depends because generally if you go around a

632
00:50:46.119 --> 00:50:50.039
neighbor's house, they the rule is in this country, if

633
00:50:50.079 --> 00:50:53.360
you visit a neighbor or friend or family, whoever it is.

634
00:50:53.880 --> 00:50:58.239
The visitor gets well, okay, the host, that say, the

635
00:50:58.280 --> 00:51:03.199
person who owns the place. The visitor gets given biscuits

636
00:51:03.920 --> 00:51:08.440
and gets to choose what biscuits they want. So this

637
00:51:08.559 --> 00:51:11.039
is an English thing. This is just this happens. Happen't

638
00:51:11.079 --> 00:51:18.079
here for centuries, I think, and so basically what happens.

639
00:51:17.960 --> 00:51:20.519
And just in case you didn't know this in every

640
00:51:20.559 --> 00:51:26.519
English home there is if you go into the front door,

641
00:51:27.719 --> 00:51:33.360
every English home has a room full of biscuits, every

642
00:51:33.400 --> 00:51:38.559
single type of biscuits. And you could say, well, not

643
00:51:38.599 --> 00:51:42.760
all biscuits can be dunked. They can. That's the thing.

644
00:51:43.360 --> 00:51:48.039
If you're not trained like we are, you might struggle

645
00:51:48.440 --> 00:51:53.880
to dip a soggy biscuit into a tea. It might

646
00:51:53.920 --> 00:51:57.800
not work for you. But even something like a jaffa cake,

647
00:51:58.599 --> 00:52:02.599
there's an art to doing a jaffa cake and not

648
00:52:02.719 --> 00:52:08.559
leaving any chocolate in tea. Or you can do it

649
00:52:08.599 --> 00:52:10.920
where you just leave a little love heart on the

650
00:52:10.920 --> 00:52:16.320
top of the tee. See, there's so much art connected

651
00:52:16.360 --> 00:52:21.400
to this. It's it's hard to explain. I realized it's

652
00:52:21.679 --> 00:52:24.360
it might this might be new to you. You might

653
00:52:24.360 --> 00:52:29.480
not have known this about English people, but it's it's

654
00:52:29.559 --> 00:52:34.519
a I started to think about this, you know, because

655
00:52:34.559 --> 00:52:37.679
I might be the only English person you ever listened

656
00:52:37.719 --> 00:52:44.239
to as far as a podcast, or you may not

657
00:52:44.400 --> 00:52:49.159
know any English people and your English, your your knowledge

658
00:52:49.159 --> 00:52:54.440
of England might come from television or from movies. And

659
00:52:54.480 --> 00:52:57.880
of course some of that's true, you know, but things

660
00:52:58.039 --> 00:53:04.159
like downtown Abbeys that's not real, but it's real. But

661
00:53:04.159 --> 00:53:06.320
I mean, there are people that used to live like that,

662
00:53:06.440 --> 00:53:10.760
but it's not the general thing. What I'm telling you

663
00:53:10.880 --> 00:53:16.679
is what everybody does. So it's it's worth knowing that

664
00:53:16.800 --> 00:53:22.599
before you come here, and you could you can you

665
00:53:22.639 --> 00:53:28.440
can sound very, very knowledgeable when you tell people about

666
00:53:28.480 --> 00:53:33.280
this stuff, when you tell your friends and family, maybe

667
00:53:33.360 --> 00:53:39.960
over Christmas dinner, like did you know that in England

668
00:53:41.599 --> 00:53:46.840
every home has a room specifically for biscuits. See, they

669
00:53:46.880 --> 00:53:51.239
wouldn't know that until you told them. So I guess

670
00:53:51.559 --> 00:53:53.639
maybe I can tell you some other stuff about England

671
00:53:53.679 --> 00:53:56.199
at another time. This is just going to be the

672
00:53:56.639 --> 00:53:59.239
first I did a weird noither did you hear that?

673
00:53:59.719 --> 00:54:05.840
This is so yeah, the little piggy in my throat

674
00:54:07.480 --> 00:54:14.119
so in the biscuit. It's called the bikie room. Okay

675
00:54:14.119 --> 00:54:16.519
that I should tell you that we don't call them

676
00:54:16.519 --> 00:54:21.960
biscuits here. We call them bikies. It's genuine. It's like,

677
00:54:22.239 --> 00:54:26.079
it's just short for biscuits. Bikie, got time for copper,

678
00:54:27.119 --> 00:54:29.800
cup of teas coppa? Got time for a cuppa and

679
00:54:29.840 --> 00:54:33.199
a bikie. So that's two different things. Have you got

680
00:54:33.199 --> 00:54:42.079
time for copper? Sometimes that just means well, you used

681
00:54:42.119 --> 00:54:44.920
to have a quick cup of tea, drink it and leave.

682
00:54:46.639 --> 00:54:48.639
But if someone says, I You've got time for a

683
00:54:48.679 --> 00:54:53.280
cuppa and a bikie, what that means is they like

684
00:54:53.360 --> 00:54:56.119
you and they'd like to spend more time with you

685
00:54:56.159 --> 00:54:58.960
and get to know you better. It's kind of like

686
00:54:59.000 --> 00:55:02.840
an English chat up date, a chat up lying in

687
00:55:02.880 --> 00:55:12.119
a way, but it's very subtle. So if you're it

688
00:55:12.239 --> 00:55:14.599
happens quite you know, if you literally someone says to

689
00:55:14.639 --> 00:55:18.239
you you would like her. If you're in a coffee

690
00:55:18.280 --> 00:55:22.480
place in the UK or in England and you order

691
00:55:22.519 --> 00:55:25.679
a coffee and they say, would you like some biscuits,

692
00:55:26.239 --> 00:55:28.840
that means one hundred that they're in love with you.

693
00:55:30.719 --> 00:55:33.400
So it's worth just this is the information worth knowing

694
00:55:34.519 --> 00:55:39.960
that they're basically let you know they love you. And

695
00:55:40.000 --> 00:55:43.000
that's it really is. I think it's quite handy to

696
00:55:43.159 --> 00:55:48.599
have this knowledge. But if someone invites you around, or

697
00:55:48.639 --> 00:55:53.280
you visit. By the way, if you visit, and if

698
00:55:53.280 --> 00:55:57.239
you if they don't invite you and you just visit,

699
00:55:58.760 --> 00:56:05.079
then you don't get to choose what biscuits you want.

700
00:56:06.239 --> 00:56:10.840
They get to choose, but if they invite you, you

701
00:56:10.880 --> 00:56:15.599
get to choose. In fact, you don't even get an

702
00:56:15.639 --> 00:56:19.159
opportunity to go into the biscuit room what we call

703
00:56:19.199 --> 00:56:21.440
it the bickie room. But you don't get a chance

704
00:56:21.480 --> 00:56:25.159
to go into the biscuit room because you've not been invited.

705
00:56:25.840 --> 00:56:28.719
You've just made up your mind to knock on their

706
00:56:28.760 --> 00:56:31.800
door and go in or wait till they answer the door.

707
00:56:31.840 --> 00:56:38.760
Of course, in that situation, they can give you the

708
00:56:38.800 --> 00:56:42.480
horriblest biscuits that they want. They still have to give

709
00:56:42.519 --> 00:56:47.320
you biscuits, it's the law, but they don't have to

710
00:56:47.320 --> 00:56:51.599
give you the nice ones they give you are because

711
00:56:53.079 --> 00:57:00.599
we have a thing here. This is going to shock you. Oh,

712
00:57:00.760 --> 00:57:03.760
this is this is It's going to be hard for

713
00:57:03.800 --> 00:57:06.239
me to say this out loud. I'm a little bit embarrassed.

714
00:57:06.239 --> 00:57:11.320
By it. But Vin, he's having a dream. He's dreaming

715
00:57:11.320 --> 00:57:19.639
out about biscuits. So we have this thing in this country.

716
00:57:19.760 --> 00:57:23.800
We have supermarkets. That's not the shocking part. We have

717
00:57:23.880 --> 00:57:27.519
supermarkets and they sold biscuits. Again, that's not the shocking part.

718
00:57:28.360 --> 00:57:36.480
The shocking part is there are amongst the many, many

719
00:57:36.519 --> 00:57:43.880
types of biscuits a thing. I'm just saying this out loud. Again,

720
00:57:44.159 --> 00:57:46.559
this is quite a secret. We're not supposed to share this,

721
00:57:47.159 --> 00:57:49.360
but hey, I suppose I've just broken all the rules.

722
00:57:50.239 --> 00:57:55.920
We have a thing here called home brand, and so

723
00:57:56.039 --> 00:58:03.039
if it's in Sainsbury's supermarkets, home brand biscuits, and they're

724
00:58:03.079 --> 00:58:07.199
still call them the same like digestives or rich tea,

725
00:58:07.400 --> 00:58:12.480
but they're not really digestives and they're not really rich tea.

726
00:58:12.760 --> 00:58:15.599
And some would argue people have no sense of taste,

727
00:58:16.039 --> 00:58:21.119
no taste. Buds will argue it tastes the same. It

728
00:58:21.159 --> 00:58:26.320
doesn't taste the same, just the same way Dominoes and

729
00:58:27.000 --> 00:58:33.119
Pizza go Go do not taste the same. Pizza Hut

730
00:58:33.400 --> 00:58:36.639
and pitting Dominoes don't. It's different things. It just tastes

731
00:58:36.639 --> 00:58:39.159
different just because the word pizzas and it doesn't mean

732
00:58:39.159 --> 00:58:43.039
it's all going to taste the same. I've got on

733
00:58:43.079 --> 00:58:45.599
to talk about food. It makes me think it might

734
00:58:45.719 --> 00:58:54.639
be my tummy saying food a biscuit. So yeah, what

735
00:58:54.880 --> 00:59:02.039
some people do, and it's it's it. Don't have to, okay,

736
00:59:02.920 --> 00:59:07.239
but you have your right as an English citizen to

737
00:59:07.559 --> 00:59:14.079
provide instead of providing the decent biscuits, you provide the

738
00:59:14.159 --> 00:59:19.440
home brand biscuits for the cup of tea. And also

739
00:59:21.039 --> 00:59:27.840
you don't have to provide endless biscuits. I want to

740
00:59:27.880 --> 00:59:30.320
say endless. I mean they're all the same. There's no

741
00:59:30.440 --> 00:59:34.360
like massive biscuits. But although the wagon wheel used to

742
00:59:34.440 --> 00:59:37.719
be quite big, is it a biscuit? Is it? Is

743
00:59:37.760 --> 00:59:41.360
it like a chocolate because it is chocolate, but that's

744
00:59:41.480 --> 00:59:44.760
marshmallow inside, but also had biscuit. It's kind of a

745
00:59:44.760 --> 00:59:47.400
weird one is and it's too big to fit into

746
00:59:47.440 --> 00:59:51.559
a cup to dunke its. It's one of those weird

747
00:59:51.559 --> 00:59:54.320
things where you have to cut it in half first

748
00:59:55.199 --> 00:59:57.239
or in quarters, depending on how much you want to

749
00:59:57.239 --> 01:00:03.159
put in your mouth. And that's that's that was. I

750
01:00:03.159 --> 01:00:05.360
think I've probably spent about three months of school just

751
01:00:05.440 --> 01:00:07.679
learning how to do a wagon wheel, how to dip

752
01:00:07.719 --> 01:00:13.079
one of them without ruining everything because they drip, really drip.

753
01:00:13.880 --> 01:00:18.519
That's the thing. That's why we have the you know

754
01:00:18.519 --> 01:00:22.199
you got cup and saucer. We don't really have We

755
01:00:22.239 --> 01:00:26.559
don't really use saucers so much indoors. But that's what

756
01:00:26.679 --> 01:00:33.599
saucers were for was collecting the remnants of the biscuit

757
01:00:33.679 --> 01:00:36.840
of the tea dripping off the biscuit and any kind

758
01:00:36.920 --> 01:00:40.719
of chocolate or biscuity bits could like just be kept

759
01:00:40.760 --> 01:00:43.559
in there so it didn't go on to the table

760
01:00:44.639 --> 01:00:53.679
or drip onto your trousers. But yeah, generally, I think

761
01:00:53.719 --> 01:00:57.639
it's quite nice to have something different from other people

762
01:00:57.840 --> 01:01:00.000
because you know, I know that in Japan, I think

763
01:01:00.039 --> 01:01:03.440
they have the tea ceremony, but it's very different. I've

764
01:01:03.440 --> 01:01:05.880
done a tea ceremony and I put a center and

765
01:01:05.920 --> 01:01:10.480
they it's very slow. It's not something to be done

766
01:01:10.519 --> 01:01:14.480
when you're thirsty. That's all I'm saying. The tea ceremony

767
01:01:14.480 --> 01:01:19.000
isn't really about the tea. It's about mindfulness. It's about

768
01:01:20.000 --> 01:01:26.719
noticing every move that you make, every physical movement, every

769
01:01:26.920 --> 01:01:32.599
It's very slow and it's nice, very calm, but it's

770
01:01:33.840 --> 01:01:40.079
it's not really a social activity. I would argue. I'm

771
01:01:40.079 --> 01:01:43.000
trying to think of what other biscuits I liked. I

772
01:01:43.079 --> 01:01:47.000
used to have this little routine, I'm gonna say ritual, routine,

773
01:01:47.079 --> 01:01:57.639
ritual back in nineteen eighty eight, eighty eight, yeah, eighty eight.

774
01:02:00.400 --> 01:02:02.599
And I used to watch I remember, I used to

775
01:02:02.639 --> 01:02:04.880
come home from work. I think this is when I

776
01:02:04.960 --> 01:02:10.440
was working at the co op on a Friday evening,

777
01:02:11.559 --> 01:02:16.920
I would watch Roseanne and Cheers. So between nine and ten,

778
01:02:18.760 --> 01:02:22.119
I couldn't tell you which one was on first, Roseanne

779
01:02:22.199 --> 01:02:24.639
or Cheers, I don't know, but they'd both be on.

780
01:02:24.800 --> 01:02:27.880
And what I would do is I would have a

781
01:02:27.960 --> 01:02:32.440
can of coke and a packet of biscuits, and I

782
01:02:32.440 --> 01:02:37.119
would just eat the whole lot, maybe even two packs

783
01:02:37.159 --> 01:02:39.159
of biscuits, but I think it's one pack of biscuits.

784
01:02:40.000 --> 01:02:43.519
It was even fig rolls. Maybe it was two packs actually,

785
01:02:45.519 --> 01:02:49.480
but ginger nuts probably, and I would just feel bloated,

786
01:02:49.639 --> 01:02:56.159
like too much. But then when I was at the

787
01:02:56.159 --> 01:02:58.039
co op, I definitely went for a bit of a

788
01:02:58.039 --> 01:03:03.719
biscuit period. I gu it's a different weird visual, isn't

789
01:03:03.719 --> 01:03:07.960
that biscuit period at lunch time, not lunchtime, at break time,

790
01:03:09.079 --> 01:03:11.320
the first break of the day when I worked in

791
01:03:11.360 --> 01:03:15.360
the co op, which was a supermarket thing. It wasn't

792
01:03:15.400 --> 01:03:21.119
a big supermarket that I worked in. And two tills

793
01:03:21.199 --> 01:03:25.800
that was it, really, I think, or three tills something

794
01:03:25.880 --> 01:03:29.239
like that. Four tills, I think, two tills on the

795
01:03:29.239 --> 01:03:30.800
main till, and then there's a couple of other little

796
01:03:30.840 --> 01:03:42.519
tills when it was busy. Anyway, I went and I

797
01:03:42.599 --> 01:03:46.559
had this little routine when I would have my break,

798
01:03:46.679 --> 01:03:50.199
I buy a can of coke and I would buy

799
01:03:50.280 --> 01:03:54.079
some fig rolls. They were not home brand figure roles

800
01:03:54.159 --> 01:04:00.679
because well for me, they weren't for a visitor that

801
01:04:00.800 --> 01:04:04.480
had not, let me know, you know, an unwanted visitor,

802
01:04:04.559 --> 01:04:08.000
that's the one that would get the home brand figure roles.

803
01:04:08.320 --> 01:04:11.519
These were nice figure roles. And there's nothing wrong with

804
01:04:11.599 --> 01:04:19.039
home brand biscuits, you know, for other people. But you know,

805
01:04:19.320 --> 01:04:23.079
I've been raised to be a biscuits snob. That's how

806
01:04:23.079 --> 01:04:28.079
it is. So it's not my fault. It's like, you

807
01:04:28.119 --> 01:04:30.559
wouldn't blame me if I had a religious belief, if

808
01:04:30.559 --> 01:04:32.280
I was brought up to have that belief, and no

809
01:04:32.320 --> 01:04:36.920
matter how silly it might seem to everyone else, you

810
01:04:36.960 --> 01:04:39.559
can't blame me because I've been raised to believe that

811
01:04:39.599 --> 01:04:42.840
I don't know any different, and it's almost impossible to

812
01:04:42.880 --> 01:04:46.519
believe anything different in a way. But it's just like

813
01:04:46.800 --> 01:04:50.320
that's all I know, and that's that's what I you know,

814
01:04:51.119 --> 01:04:55.159
it's very hard to get someone out of that. And

815
01:04:55.199 --> 01:05:02.000
it's the same with biscuits. Biscuits a very much like religion,

816
01:05:02.119 --> 01:05:08.199
don't you know. So I used to have these fig

817
01:05:08.280 --> 01:05:14.199
rolls fig rolls, but they weren't because there's different types

818
01:05:14.239 --> 01:05:17.000
of fig roles they can get. You can get the

819
01:05:17.039 --> 01:05:19.320
ones that are like a roll, like literally they look

820
01:05:19.360 --> 01:05:21.559
a little bit like a sausage roll, really like a

821
01:05:21.599 --> 01:05:26.039
really small sausage roll. These ones weren't then. They were

822
01:05:26.360 --> 01:05:31.320
more fancy and a little bit bigger and like rolled

823
01:05:31.400 --> 01:05:36.480
over pastry. It was different. It tasted much nicer, and

824
01:05:36.519 --> 01:05:38.960
I think there was like one, two, three for about

825
01:05:39.079 --> 01:05:43.079
six in a pack, and I'd eat the whole lot

826
01:05:43.360 --> 01:05:49.079
with bican of coke. Oh yeah, fifteen minute break and

827
01:05:49.079 --> 01:05:52.199
that what we do do that listen to the radio

828
01:05:52.400 --> 01:05:56.119
in the staff room. The staff room was like big

829
01:05:56.239 --> 01:05:59.920
enough for two people sitting at a table and probably

830
01:06:00.639 --> 01:06:03.719
a coat wrack or you know, that's it. There wasn't

831
01:06:03.760 --> 01:06:10.199
a lot of room in there. I did that for months,

832
01:06:10.280 --> 01:06:20.360
just a nice or lovely figure roles I was can

833
01:06:20.360 --> 01:06:27.159
of coke. Yeah, it was nice. I liked that. It's

834
01:06:27.199 --> 01:06:29.000
weird though, because I closed my eyes and I can

835
01:06:29.079 --> 01:06:35.280
still see inside that shop. Now. I have been inside

836
01:06:35.320 --> 01:06:39.639
the shop over the years, because I've visited that town

837
01:06:40.599 --> 01:06:44.400
many times, hundreds of times since I left school, since

838
01:06:44.400 --> 01:06:47.000
I left the town, so I've been back loads of times.

839
01:06:49.400 --> 01:06:51.960
It's a long time since I went into that shop,

840
01:06:52.480 --> 01:06:57.880
many many years, so it might have changed, but I

841
01:06:58.039 --> 01:07:01.719
just remember how it used to be. So you'd go in,

842
01:07:01.840 --> 01:07:06.400
you'd look at the shop and it was next to

843
01:07:07.079 --> 01:07:12.760
a if you was facing it. Let's say you like

844
01:07:13.320 --> 01:07:17.280
if you walked out of the front door of the

845
01:07:17.360 --> 01:07:22.159
co op shop supermarket and just walk backwards. Not a

846
01:07:22.159 --> 01:07:24.719
good idea. You might bang into something. But it was

847
01:07:24.840 --> 01:07:31.000
quite a big pavement and you stopped and you opened

848
01:07:30.960 --> 01:07:33.679
your eyes. I mean again, why would you have Why

849
01:07:33.719 --> 01:07:35.920
would you close your eyes if you're walking backwards? But

850
01:07:35.960 --> 01:07:39.599
why would you walk backwards? Would it make any difference

851
01:07:39.639 --> 01:07:41.840
if you had your eyes open, because you can't see

852
01:07:41.880 --> 01:07:46.480
behind yourself, can you less You're a pigeon. So that's

853
01:07:46.480 --> 01:07:50.320
what I admire about pigeons because they can see pretty

854
01:07:50.400 --> 01:08:02.239
much everywhere the omnipotous on nipple nipples sil and to

855
01:08:02.280 --> 01:08:07.599
the left there was this Chinese takeaway and that was it.

856
01:08:07.719 --> 01:08:10.559
That was all there was on that little bit of road.

857
01:08:12.639 --> 01:08:14.719
So you go into the supermarket and on the right

858
01:08:14.719 --> 01:08:17.920
hand side there was the bit where the lorriers would

859
01:08:17.920 --> 01:08:22.439
go into deliver. So you go into the entrance, it

860
01:08:22.560 --> 01:08:25.079
was like a double door. Left hand side was the

861
01:08:25.159 --> 01:08:28.119
counter all the way up on the left hand side,

862
01:08:28.880 --> 01:08:31.720
so it was a cigarettes, booze all that stuff. Yeah,

863
01:08:32.520 --> 01:08:40.960
I think there might have been two tills. Yeah, ah,

864
01:08:41.000 --> 01:08:43.840
and I think there was a conveyor belt as well

865
01:08:43.840 --> 01:08:50.840
on there. Why would there isn't now, but I think

866
01:08:50.840 --> 01:09:01.000
there might have been back then. Ah maybe anyway, so

867
01:09:01.119 --> 01:09:04.520
there was that. And then if you so you go in,

868
01:09:04.720 --> 01:09:09.880
turn right, there's one lane, goes down, then turn left

869
01:09:10.399 --> 01:09:18.880
there's another lane and turn right and then turn left

870
01:09:18.920 --> 01:09:20.359
and that leads you to the thing. So there's a

871
01:09:20.359 --> 01:09:24.800
few lanes. Again, it's not a large store. There's free

872
01:09:24.880 --> 01:09:27.760
of stuff at the bottom. I did like the smell

873
01:09:29.279 --> 01:09:33.279
of the place. It's quite a nice smell. You know.

874
01:09:33.319 --> 01:09:38.319
There's lots of groceries and bread and vegetables and or sorry,

875
01:09:39.000 --> 01:09:47.640
vegetables and that you could feed your tor toys. Stop it.

876
01:09:51.640 --> 01:09:59.760
I think I just heard a fly. Well, I think

877
01:10:00.000 --> 01:10:05.600
I suppose just different yeah, dairy products. The fridges were there,

878
01:10:06.279 --> 01:10:09.039
so I guess the smell of the fridges, and it

879
01:10:09.119 --> 01:10:13.439
was just a nice, general, nice, quite quite nice smell.

880
01:10:14.840 --> 01:10:17.479
I think the supermarkets do smell quite nice. Actually, it's

881
01:10:17.479 --> 01:10:22.079
all that mixture of different things. Why I wasn't so

882
01:10:22.239 --> 01:10:25.119
keen on was the brown jacket I had to wear,

883
01:10:25.800 --> 01:10:28.439
because first of all, it was too tight and I

884
01:10:28.520 --> 01:10:32.159
was tiny back then. You know, I was like nine

885
01:10:32.199 --> 01:10:43.600
stone or something. It's like really really slim, and wow,

886
01:10:43.960 --> 01:10:53.000
I'm like six six stone heavier. It used to be

887
01:10:53.039 --> 01:10:56.560
seven stone heavier. But I lost this. I lost this

888
01:10:56.960 --> 01:11:02.119
some weird I did. I did. I did, and kept

889
01:11:02.119 --> 01:11:07.479
it off as well, which is pretty cool. Uh. Yeah.

890
01:11:07.520 --> 01:11:11.520
I didn't like it to smell weird, just smell weird.

891
01:11:11.680 --> 01:11:15.479
Just had a weird smell, and I thought, I don't

892
01:11:15.520 --> 01:11:21.920
want to smell weird. I'm only seventeen. Just I was

893
01:11:21.960 --> 01:11:25.520
hoping to one day get to hold someone's hand, you know,

894
01:11:25.520 --> 01:11:29.399
don't have romance. I didn't want to be walking around smelly.

895
01:11:32.119 --> 01:11:33.880
I don't know what it was. I think someone else

896
01:11:33.880 --> 01:11:36.439
had worn it before me. I took it home, I washed,

897
01:11:36.479 --> 01:11:40.800
it still had a weird kind of smell, and eventually

898
01:11:40.800 --> 01:11:43.760
I was able to get a bigger one. So I'd

899
01:11:43.840 --> 01:11:45.840
much rather have something that looks too big on me

900
01:11:45.920 --> 01:11:51.800
than something that looks too small on me. Plus it was, Yeah,

901
01:11:51.840 --> 01:11:59.920
it was uncomfortable. Uncomfortable, But then they did. They did

902
01:12:00.199 --> 01:12:06.000
used to employ kids like in the evening's, like part

903
01:12:06.039 --> 01:12:09.960
time stuff from school at the weekends and stuff, so

904
01:12:10.039 --> 01:12:14.000
I think they probably they had little sizes for the kids.

905
01:12:14.520 --> 01:12:22.199
I just happened to be kids size, even at seventeen. Yeah,

906
01:12:22.399 --> 01:12:25.279
that was ye. I wasn't a big fan out, but

907
01:12:25.279 --> 01:12:27.359
it was once I got a Yeah, I got a

908
01:12:27.399 --> 01:12:29.000
bigger one, but it was too long for me, so

909
01:12:29.000 --> 01:12:32.600
I had to roll the sleeves up. I don't know,

910
01:12:32.640 --> 01:12:37.159
what can you do? It's like it, okay, I need

911
01:12:39.920 --> 01:12:43.000
so I've got I've got a cardigan that I need

912
01:12:43.680 --> 01:12:48.399
to be bigger because of my body, but my I

913
01:12:48.439 --> 01:12:54.159
don't have long arms, so it kind of covers half

914
01:12:54.239 --> 01:12:59.520
my hands. But the shoulders and the upper body feels

915
01:13:00.439 --> 01:13:05.760
you know, it's just weird. Just what those what is it?

916
01:13:05.840 --> 01:13:13.760
Taro terodactyl, tero doctyl, pterodactyl, taroctable. You know the ones

917
01:13:13.800 --> 01:13:17.439
with little hands kangaroos, that's another one. Look at little

918
01:13:17.520 --> 01:13:20.520
arms and bigger body. Maybe that's me. I'm not quite

919
01:13:20.560 --> 01:13:28.600
that bad, but I don't have really yeah, I don't

920
01:13:28.640 --> 01:13:32.520
have long arms. I don't have like really short arms,

921
01:13:33.479 --> 01:13:36.479
but they're not long. They're not long enough to fit

922
01:13:36.520 --> 01:13:43.960
my body. Basically, my height is not My legs are

923
01:13:43.960 --> 01:13:47.439
not long enough to fit my body either. Come five

924
01:13:47.479 --> 01:13:52.119
for eight. My ideal weight should be like eleven and

925
01:13:52.159 --> 01:14:01.279
a half stone, and I'm not that and no eleven

926
01:14:01.319 --> 01:14:07.640
and a half stone. So even if I was twelve

927
01:14:07.640 --> 01:14:16.039
and a half or thirteen, then it's still that's overweight. Apparently,

928
01:14:17.920 --> 01:14:24.439
So my weight for my height is ridiculous. You know,

929
01:14:24.479 --> 01:14:27.239
I should be like seven foot tall from my height

930
01:14:27.880 --> 01:14:30.960
for my height for my weight, I should probably be

931
01:14:31.079 --> 01:14:38.159
about six two six three six five six four. To

932
01:14:38.239 --> 01:14:41.880
be my my weight, I should be yeah, about six

933
01:14:42.239 --> 01:14:47.840
six foot five, maybe six three. I could get away

934
01:14:47.880 --> 01:14:53.159
of it at six three six two, you know, well set,

935
01:14:53.920 --> 01:14:57.199
heavy but quite tall. I could get I could do that,

936
01:14:58.159 --> 01:15:04.279
but I'm not. I'm stumpy and like I wouldn't look

937
01:15:04.319 --> 01:15:09.680
at her place on the new swat snow White movie.

938
01:15:10.319 --> 01:15:15.199
I don't mean taking her place, and she'd live in

939
01:15:15.439 --> 01:15:20.520
another acting job after that. I've watched a bit of

940
01:15:20.560 --> 01:15:25.640
snow White, the new one, and it's I'd say, it's weird, right,

941
01:15:28.800 --> 01:15:33.800
just leave her alone. That's that's that's my opinion. It's weird.

942
01:15:33.800 --> 01:15:37.199
It's just that really really went for her because she

943
01:15:37.359 --> 01:15:43.199
was just talking like a teenager. She's a teenager, or

944
01:15:43.239 --> 01:15:45.039
maybe she's in her early twenties. I don't know, but

945
01:15:45.079 --> 01:15:48.039
she just she just she was just talking away that

946
01:15:48.560 --> 01:15:53.039
she talked to, just being herself, and I really really

947
01:15:53.079 --> 01:15:58.720
went for her. It's like, leave her alone. And I

948
01:15:58.760 --> 01:16:00.720
didn't think of that in a sense of like a

949
01:16:00.840 --> 01:16:03.159
father figure, because I don't feel like a father figure

950
01:16:03.199 --> 01:16:10.119
towards a young woman, just from a you know, a

951
01:16:10.239 --> 01:16:17.560
human perspective. Leave alone. It's snow White. Don't mess with

952
01:16:17.680 --> 01:16:25.359
snow White. Show some respect for the Snowy the Snowy one.

953
01:16:27.800 --> 01:16:31.359
Do you think that snow White did she have who

954
01:16:31.439 --> 01:16:33.840
is it had blonde hair in the Disney movies, because

955
01:16:33.840 --> 01:16:36.000
you'd think snow White would have blonde hair. I don't

956
01:16:36.039 --> 01:16:40.520
know why, like just blonde. I don't know snow, maybe

957
01:16:40.560 --> 01:16:47.439
because white snow is white. Who had blonde hair? Goldilocks?

958
01:16:48.039 --> 01:16:51.319
Suppose that makes sense, wouldn't it Goldilocks? But then she'd

959
01:16:51.319 --> 01:16:55.800
have golden hair, not white hair or blonde hair. Rather,

960
01:16:59.800 --> 01:17:04.840
who else is the sleeping beauty? It's a Goldilock sleeping beauty.

961
01:17:05.079 --> 01:17:11.359
Rapunzel shu Apunzel. I don't know what color hair she had.

962
01:17:11.600 --> 01:17:22.159
She had long hair, didn't she Rapunzel? M Still one

963
01:17:22.199 --> 01:17:22.439

He's good in that as well. Yeah, that's got to

974
01:18:03.600 --> 01:18:05.720
be the first role that he ever had where people

975
01:18:05.800 --> 01:18:10.479
weren't judging on his appearance, blind me leave the man alone.

976
01:18:11.760 --> 01:18:15.640
He can't like is hether to overweight? Or like they

977
01:18:15.680 --> 01:18:18.680
moan him? You've lost a lot of weight? Are you okay, like,

978
01:18:19.239 --> 01:18:26.359
leave him alone. He's a funny acts. I'm very in

979
01:18:26.399 --> 01:18:30.479
a supportive, supporting actors kind of mood at the moment.

980
01:18:31.000 --> 01:18:38.159
Oh yes, did you know that the It's not really

981
01:18:38.199 --> 01:18:46.800
related to biscuits, but Canelo fight against Crawford, which is

982
01:18:46.840 --> 01:18:52.439
on in September. I think it's going to be on Netflix. Netflix,

983
01:18:54.159 --> 01:18:56.279
So I signed up to Netflix because it's going to

984
01:18:56.319 --> 01:18:58.319
be free. Well it's not really free, but it's going

985
01:18:58.399 --> 01:19:02.399
to be streamed, not pay per view. One of the

986
01:19:02.439 --> 01:19:10.600
biggest fights I would say of the year, personally, the

987
01:19:10.680 --> 01:19:17.159
most exciting fights of the year for boxing fans. Fourthening Canelos.

988
01:19:18.960 --> 01:19:24.760
It's a great fight. It would have been, yeah, I

989
01:19:24.760 --> 01:19:33.079
mean as far as exciting fights go, boxing wise, I mean,

990
01:19:33.119 --> 01:19:40.920
you've got the the World heavyweight Championship with Usik and Dubois,

991
01:19:41.000 --> 01:19:43.880
but they've already fought before. So although it's exciting, it's

992
01:19:43.960 --> 01:19:45.960
July the nineteenth, and I'm going to be watching it

993
01:19:46.079 --> 01:19:53.840
one percent hopefully, and I'm looking forward to it, But

994
01:19:53.920 --> 01:20:00.479
they have fought before and Canelo and Usik beating, so

995
01:20:00.600 --> 01:20:07.199
that doesn't have the same excitement as Crawford Canelo because

996
01:20:07.239 --> 01:20:14.199
they've never fought before and they both they're both broken

997
01:20:14.319 --> 01:20:18.239
records in their own way. I mean, no one, there's

998
01:20:18.279 --> 01:20:24.479
no boxer, there's no box there's no active boxer around

999
01:20:24.560 --> 01:20:31.439
today that can match Canelo's boxing record, his professional record.

1000
01:20:31.680 --> 01:20:35.560
Not about how many wins he's had, just how many

1001
01:20:36.319 --> 01:20:42.079
names he's fought, how many big names he's actually conquered,

1002
01:20:42.239 --> 01:20:45.640
whether he beat them or not. Actually, he's just fought

1003
01:20:45.960 --> 01:20:52.560
so many people and won so many titles. But then,

1004
01:20:52.680 --> 01:20:58.119
but Crawford is unified two different divisions. It's the three

1005
01:20:58.119 --> 01:21:04.199
weight world champion, and he's unified three divisions. I think

1006
01:21:05.000 --> 01:21:08.079
or is unified two divisions and won three world titles

1007
01:21:08.520 --> 01:21:10.920
and he's eight. Yeah, he's won three. I think it's

1008
01:21:11.760 --> 01:21:16.399
I think he's one world titles in three divisions, three

1009
01:21:16.399 --> 01:21:22.520
weight classes. He's unified in two weight classes. And if

1010
01:21:22.560 --> 01:21:27.159
he's fighting Canelo, who holds all the belts in super middleweight.

1011
01:21:27.560 --> 01:21:30.359
So if he wins that, he will be the first

1012
01:21:31.119 --> 01:21:40.119
boxer in history to be unified in three different weight divisions. Now,

1013
01:21:40.159 --> 01:21:45.479
Canelo is already one, regardless of what anyone says, is

1014
01:21:45.479 --> 01:21:48.399
one of the greatest boxes of our generation for what

1015
01:21:48.479 --> 01:21:56.720
is accomplished, just what he's done is just phenomenal, and

1016
01:21:56.760 --> 01:21:59.159
he's potentially on the slide, but even on the slide,

1017
01:21:59.159 --> 01:22:04.000
he's still beating the one. So they's always on a

1018
01:22:04.039 --> 01:22:07.039
slide because he's getting old. Now he's what is he

1019
01:22:07.199 --> 01:22:11.119
thirty three or thirty four, thirty five? Maybe now he's

1020
01:22:11.159 --> 01:22:16.479
been boxing since he was fifteen, I think, But professionally,

1021
01:22:16.479 --> 01:22:21.560
I mean, he's been a professional fighter for what twenty years.

1022
01:22:22.000 --> 01:22:26.319
He's won so many world titles. I don't know if

1023
01:22:26.359 --> 01:22:29.640
anyone else has won as many titles as him, as

1024
01:22:29.640 --> 01:22:35.880
many divisions as him. Maybe Pakio may Mayweather in Pacio

1025
01:22:36.880 --> 01:22:46.000
Pakio Paki Hoo. I think Pakio had seven different divisions,

1026
01:22:46.000 --> 01:22:53.199
seven different weight divisions, and almost I almost believe that

1027
01:22:53.279 --> 01:22:58.720
this was just like fake news. Pakio is actually coming

1028
01:22:58.760 --> 01:23:08.720
back after year of professional boxing, years of like proper

1029
01:23:08.840 --> 01:23:13.720
you know, fighting big names and whatever, and he's fighting

1030
01:23:13.760 --> 01:23:19.279
for a world title. No warmup fights. He's fighting straight

1031
01:23:19.319 --> 01:23:25.079
away for a world title. And I will watch it,

1032
01:23:26.479 --> 01:23:30.279
but I do wonder, like, I mean, he's not the

1033
01:23:30.319 --> 01:23:33.960
first one to do that, but he's been out of

1034
01:23:33.960 --> 01:23:44.000
the ring for quite a long time. You know, when

1035
01:23:44.039 --> 01:23:49.520
Sugar O Leonard came back to beat Marvin Hagler, he'd

1036
01:23:49.520 --> 01:23:51.680
been out of the ring for a good couple of

1037
01:23:51.800 --> 01:23:55.159
years or so, but I think many's been out of the

1038
01:23:55.199 --> 01:23:58.760
ring for five or six years. He's had a couple

1039
01:23:58.760 --> 01:24:03.039
of exhibitions fights, maybe they went on his record as

1040
01:24:03.079 --> 01:24:10.800
being professional fights, but he hasn't fought any boxers. I

1041
01:24:10.800 --> 01:24:13.479
think he fought like a kickboxer, but in a ring.

1042
01:24:14.239 --> 01:24:16.359
I think it was a kickboxing world champion, but it's

1043
01:24:16.399 --> 01:24:20.760
still mootai or something. And there was one fight he

1044
01:24:20.800 --> 01:24:23.399
had when he just kept knocking a bloke down like so,

1045
01:24:23.439 --> 01:24:26.319
He's had a few fights like that over the years,

1046
01:24:26.600 --> 01:24:30.399
but professionally, I don't think he's fought for six at

1047
01:24:30.479 --> 01:24:35.239
least six years, maybe longer as an actual contender in

1048
01:24:35.279 --> 01:24:40.920
the world boxing scene. And he goes straight into fighting

1049
01:24:40.960 --> 01:24:47.000
for a world title and he's what he's about forty

1050
01:24:47.000 --> 01:24:51.000
four now, I think, or forty five or older, maybe

1051
01:24:51.039 --> 01:24:55.840
even I don't know, getting onto fifty. I think maybe, yeah,

1052
01:24:55.840 --> 01:24:58.880
I think he's getting on. He can't be getting onto fifty,

1053
01:24:58.960 --> 01:25:02.800
can he? He's in his forties early forties, I think.

1054
01:25:04.039 --> 01:25:06.359
But then that makes me think, you know, like I

1055
01:25:06.399 --> 01:25:09.560
hear people going on about well, I can hear people,

1056
01:25:09.840 --> 01:25:11.960
what's this got to do about you. Of course got to

1057
01:25:11.960 --> 01:25:15.119
go back to boxing, and what are the biscuits? We

1058
01:25:15.159 --> 01:25:17.000
were really interested in the biscuits and then you're talking

1059
01:25:17.000 --> 01:25:20.880
about boxing again. I'll be honest with you, I think

1060
01:25:20.880 --> 01:25:24.079
I've run out of biscuits stories. I didn't think i'd

1061
01:25:24.079 --> 01:25:27.039
ever say that out loud as a sentence. I never

1062
01:25:27.079 --> 01:25:34.239
thought i'd come out of my mouth. Suddenly the heavyweights,

1063
01:25:35.319 --> 01:25:42.119
you know, the people talking about heavyweights or the internet again. Oh,

1064
01:25:42.760 --> 01:25:46.720
Dillian White, he's thirty eight years old. Now he's you know,

1065
01:25:46.840 --> 01:25:51.399
he's got most of the tumor, is going to be

1066
01:25:51.399 --> 01:25:55.520
fighting him in September, and he doesn't stand a chance

1067
01:25:55.520 --> 01:26:00.239
against him because he's twenty years old. And Dillian, why

1068
01:26:00.479 --> 01:26:03.920
is thirty eight? Doesn't hands down the hope against the

1069
01:26:03.960 --> 01:26:09.520
young man. And then it's like if everyone's forgotten George Foreman,

1070
01:26:11.199 --> 01:26:13.680
he didn't come back until it was about thirty eight,

1071
01:26:14.760 --> 01:26:19.319
and he won the world title at forty four or

1072
01:26:19.439 --> 01:26:23.199
forty five, forty four forty five. He fought for the

1073
01:26:23.199 --> 01:26:30.319
world title twice before that, and against Tommy Morrison and

1074
01:26:31.399 --> 01:26:38.399
Evander Hollyfield, and eventually he did win it, so he

1075
01:26:39.560 --> 01:26:41.880
had to fight to get it. He doesn't just handed it.

1076
01:26:42.319 --> 01:26:43.920
You know, he had to, He had to have loads

1077
01:26:43.920 --> 01:26:46.520
of twenty odd fights before he got a chance to

1078
01:26:46.800 --> 01:26:50.920
fight for the world title the second time round. And

1079
01:26:53.000 --> 01:27:01.359
they're writing people off who were less than forty. It's just,

1080
01:27:01.600 --> 01:27:08.520
I don't know, just it seemed to have forgotten. And

1081
01:27:08.520 --> 01:27:13.319
then you've got Desic desic Derek Chsaura, who's a handful

1082
01:27:13.399 --> 01:27:20.319
for anyone. Its really weird. It's like Derek I can't

1083
01:27:20.399 --> 01:27:25.039
say his name today, Derek Chasaura. He's he's been winning

1084
01:27:25.119 --> 01:27:28.880
quite a few fights lately. He's really good. He's exciting,

1085
01:27:29.159 --> 01:27:39.119
exciting to watch, and he's nearing forty now. He thought,

1086
01:27:40.279 --> 01:27:43.479
and Dillian, why that he's he's not been very active,

1087
01:27:43.560 --> 01:27:49.960
but he's had a great career. Tyson Fury, who's some

1088
01:27:49.960 --> 01:27:53.479
people say, oh, he's not any good. Not really. Tyson

1089
01:27:53.560 --> 01:28:02.000
Fury made both of those boxes look awful. I mean really,

1090
01:28:02.039 --> 01:28:08.800
he made them both look awful. It looked effortless for him.

1091
01:28:08.960 --> 01:28:11.359
Isn't it weird? The amount no matter what you do,

1092
01:28:12.760 --> 01:28:16.039
like the boxes, no matter how successful you are, and

1093
01:28:16.800 --> 01:28:19.359
the minute you lose like uk now is no good.

1094
01:28:20.279 --> 01:28:23.760
It's like, okay, who did he lose to? He lost

1095
01:28:23.800 --> 01:28:29.039
to usick, who will possibly go down as being one

1096
01:28:29.039 --> 01:28:32.479
of the greatest heavyweights ever, one of the greatest heavyweights.

1097
01:28:33.279 --> 01:28:37.359
Definitely of this era, this generation, these the last twenty years,

1098
01:28:37.399 --> 01:28:46.680
I'd say, because of what he's achieved, unbeaten at the moment. Yeah,

1099
01:28:46.720 --> 01:28:52.119
I just I don't know. Can't we just get along,

1100
01:28:52.560 --> 01:28:55.960
That's all I'm saying. Let's just all have a cup

1101
01:28:55.960 --> 01:29:02.920
of tea and some biscuits. So I don't know that

1102
01:29:03.079 --> 01:29:06.600
was all weird recording. I'm going to go, thank you

1103
01:29:06.640 --> 01:29:09.880
for listening, and remember to be kind to yourself because

1104
01:29:09.920 --> 01:29:14.239
you do deserve to be happy. Be gentle with yourself,

1105
01:29:14.279 --> 01:29:26.960
because you deserve to feel safe, lots of love. Bye,

1106
01:29:27.720 --> 01:29:42.279
relax in a more deep and meaningful way. Maybe in

1107
01:29:42.319 --> 01:29:47.920
a way that can not just allow you to feel

1108
01:29:49.239 --> 01:29:58.520
calmer now and throughout the time we've spend together here,

1109
01:30:00.520 --> 01:30:06.199
not just relaxed at the end of the recording when

1110
01:30:06.239 --> 01:30:12.920
it's finished and you can enjoy that sense of comfort

1111
01:30:13.079 --> 01:30:28.000
and peace, but also I think it would be nice

1112
01:30:28.079 --> 01:30:47.880
to have those feelings of relaxation continue for longer after

1113
01:30:47.960 --> 01:30:58.560
the recording is ended, so that you can still benefit

1114
01:31:01.439 --> 01:31:08.720
from listening to my voice. Maybe in a few hours time,

1115
01:31:10.600 --> 01:31:24.079
perhaps tomorrow, and then by listening regularly, especially if you

1116
01:31:24.279 --> 01:31:28.920
find like some people do and myself as well. I

1117
01:31:29.079 --> 01:31:35.800
sometimes I find one particular recording that really resonates with me,

1118
01:31:40.159 --> 01:31:42.560
and I just listen to it over and over again

1119
01:31:44.800 --> 01:31:57.800
every morning, every evening. There was this recording from We're

1120
01:31:57.840 --> 01:32:02.560
going back to about nineteen ninety nine. It was it

1121
01:32:02.600 --> 01:32:07.600
wasn't hypnosis, but it was a guided visualizations. It kind

1122
01:32:07.640 --> 01:32:14.760
of was hypnosis, really, and I managed to find it

1123
01:32:14.800 --> 01:32:18.720
again and it still has the same effect on me.

1124
01:32:21.319 --> 01:32:31.039
And part of it was the person's voice relaxed me,

1125
01:32:35.079 --> 01:32:41.720
just felt so peaceful, and I'd look forward to listening

1126
01:32:42.279 --> 01:32:54.439
to her in the morning and in the evening. And

1127
01:32:54.680 --> 01:33:03.840
I knew before even pressing the play button that since

1128
01:33:03.880 --> 01:33:08.319
I've done that pressed the play button. This was in

1129
01:33:08.359 --> 01:33:22.960
the days of CD players pressed the play button. In fact,

1130
01:33:22.960 --> 01:33:27.000
it might have even been a tape tape recorder. I'd

1131
01:33:27.000 --> 01:33:36.760
lie down on the bed and then even without necessarily

1132
01:33:37.880 --> 01:33:48.600
listening to her words because I had them memorized. Really,

1133
01:33:53.279 --> 01:33:59.279
it was as if my body knew exactly what to do,

1134
01:34:04.039 --> 01:34:25.880
and the muscles just almost went into automatic relaxation, and

1135
01:34:26.039 --> 01:34:40.039
I remember my mind would slow down. Now now I

1136
01:34:40.079 --> 01:34:46.319
was listening to this recording in the early days of

1137
01:34:46.399 --> 01:34:57.119
learning hypnosis, and long before I ever made any videos

1138
01:34:57.239 --> 01:35:01.960
or audio recordings myself, because I didn't start doing that

1139
01:35:02.079 --> 01:35:16.560
till two thousand and six, I knew, I knew how

1140
01:35:18.279 --> 01:35:32.079
helpful I found being able to just let go, to

1141
01:35:32.159 --> 01:35:37.399
have that trust in the person that I'm listening to,

1142
01:35:45.039 --> 01:35:51.800
knowing that it's going to be just as relaxing, if

1143
01:35:53.199 --> 01:36:02.600
not more so. Each time you hear my voice, you

1144
01:36:02.680 --> 01:36:14.359
may feel the same. Some people have been listening to

1145
01:36:14.359 --> 01:36:28.279
me for over a decade. Maybe not solidly, obviously not

1146
01:36:28.319 --> 01:36:34.640
twenty four hours a day, but maybe people come back.

1147
01:36:36.439 --> 01:36:50.199
Some people may be listen every day. That's something that

1148
01:36:50.239 --> 01:37:03.239
I do which you may not realize by listening, is

1149
01:37:07.319 --> 01:37:21.680
when I record these recordings. Now, for example, I also

1150
01:37:23.159 --> 01:37:34.399
am affected by the words that I say. So if

1151
01:37:34.399 --> 01:37:44.800
I set you focus on your feet, notice your feet relaxing,

1152
01:37:48.279 --> 01:37:56.199
I will be focusing on my feet. I will be

1153
01:37:56.279 --> 01:38:15.039
noticing my feet relaxing. If I said, focus on your hands,

1154
01:38:17.159 --> 01:38:26.680
and maybe notice the difference between each hand, Perhaps notice

1155
01:38:26.800 --> 01:38:32.880
the the air in the room, the temperature of the room.

1156
01:38:34.760 --> 01:38:45.159
On the backs of your hands. You may start to

1157
01:38:45.720 --> 01:38:53.800
notice what almost feels like a very light breeze, even

1158
01:38:53.840 --> 01:38:58.079
though there may not be any type of breeze at

1159
01:38:58.119 --> 01:39:11.119
all where you are right now. And as you become

1160
01:39:11.760 --> 01:39:26.119
aware of your hands, I'm also aware of how relaxed

1161
01:39:26.399 --> 01:39:50.199
my hands our feeling now and when it comes to

1162
01:39:51.720 --> 01:39:57.760
potentially drifting off to sleep, which may be the reason

1163
01:39:58.079 --> 01:40:14.359
you're listening, I also feel drowsy when I make these recordings.

1164
01:40:19.039 --> 01:40:35.439
I also notice my mind drifting. In fact, at times

1165
01:40:37.479 --> 01:40:51.680
I've actually fallen asleep without even noticing, and then I

1166
01:40:51.800 --> 01:41:03.479
carry on talking. It's only when I listen back to

1167
01:41:03.800 --> 01:41:12.840
do the editing I hear snoring and I think, I

1168
01:41:12.880 --> 01:41:22.960
don't remember snoring. I remember talking. Was this snoring was

1169
01:41:23.520 --> 01:41:29.840
a pig turned up? That's why I sound like when

1170
01:41:29.840 --> 01:41:40.800
I snare and I get really into the whole experience.

1171
01:41:48.720 --> 01:41:57.720
I don't know how you feel. How relaxed do you

1172
01:41:57.840 --> 01:42:08.800
feel in your feet, how relaxed you feel in your hands.

1173
01:42:23.880 --> 01:42:36.119
I have noticed more and more that the more relaxed,

1174
01:42:37.800 --> 01:42:53.640
deeper level of comfort you feel, the easier your breathing becomes.

1175
01:43:00.199 --> 01:43:16.880
It's almost like that additional muscle relaxation. So this allows

1176
01:43:16.920 --> 01:43:48.039
you to breathe easier without necessarily focusing on your breath, however,

1177
01:43:48.239 --> 01:44:17.039
being able to notice the ease in which you breathe

1178
01:44:17.239 --> 01:45:07.119
so naturally, you breathe so very easily and smoothly. Whenever

1179
01:45:07.199 --> 01:45:25.520
I imagine my breathing improving, when I've got my eyes closed,

1180
01:45:31.560 --> 01:45:44.439
I tend to visualize a beautiful field with trees and

1181
01:45:44.680 --> 01:46:24.960
flowers producing all that life giving oxygen. It feels nice to,

1182
01:46:26.680 --> 01:46:45.640
if nothing else, just taking some time away from everything,

1183
01:46:56.960 --> 01:47:29.760
enjoying that feeling of peace serenity with a joyful heart.

1184
01:47:54.840 --> 01:48:20.359
Time seems to just drip by h so very slowly, relaxed,

1185
01:48:26.239 --> 01:49:05.520
so deeply peaceful, completely unattached to any thoughts whatsoever in

1186
01:49:05.560 --> 01:50:09.960
this moment, completely free. Notice that mind has slowed down,

1187
01:50:18.239 --> 01:51:04.960
slowed down because nothing really requires your attention. You can

1188
01:51:05.199 --> 01:51:21.319
enjoy the physical sensations of allowing the stress to rip

1189
01:51:22.039 --> 01:51:36.000
out of your body, to appear out of every part

1190
01:51:41.840 --> 01:52:05.880
of your body, and being released from your brain in

1191
01:52:06.399 --> 01:52:41.880
your mind slowly but surely, the muscles in your legs

1192
01:52:57.199 --> 01:53:51.319
relax mhm rhys so very deeply, res so deeply, and

1193
01:53:51.520 --> 01:54:01.520
the feelings, the pleasant feelings in your arms and shoulders

1194
01:54:19.319 --> 01:54:43.880
deepening each part of your body further and deeper and deeper,

1195
01:54:58.399 --> 01:55:28.800
noticing the feeling's in the back of your neck, feelings

1196
01:55:29.000 --> 01:56:17.840
in your wrists, muscles, in front of your body. I

1197
01:56:18.039 --> 01:57:01.920
all say, feeling peaceful deeply as a sense of peace

1198
01:57:06.399 --> 01:57:46.319
spreads through your very core. Even when you focus on

1199
01:57:46.359 --> 01:58:45.600
your mind, your mind becomes ee and slowerven, deeper, relaxing,

1200
01:59:09.399 --> 02:00:10.119
so very slow. His stomach, he's forin's stomach, your back.

Notice Notice how relaxed you'd now fear in the hole

1202
02:00:44.720 --> 02:01:17.560

1203
02:01:17.640 --> 02:01:26.319
way down the middle of your back, sending and receiving

1204
02:01:28.720 --> 02:02:01.039
millions of messages every day, deep comfort, increasing deeply faxed.

1205
02:02:30.680 --> 02:02:31.039
You me.

1206
02:02:57.079 --> 02:03:10.479

02:12:22.399 --> 02:12:33.640

02:22:57.879 --> 02:24:13.200
I'm peaceful, so peaceful, real liqua, so peaceful. And you

1226
02:24:13.280 --> 02:24:20.440
could start to notice that you are feeling more relaxed,

1227
02:24:23.440 --> 02:24:33.280
even though I've not purposely focused your mind upon that

1228
02:24:34.520 --> 02:24:40.639
sense of physical comfort that is growing within you throughout

1229
02:24:40.719 --> 02:24:53.600
your body, and your mind starts to slow down. And

1230
02:24:53.639 --> 02:25:01.159
that could be almost in recognition of I guess my

1231
02:25:01.399 --> 02:25:16.239
speech not being particularly fast, and things just generally feel calmer.

1232
02:25:19.680 --> 02:25:27.680
Just by listening to my voice, you give yourself an

1233
02:25:27.719 --> 02:25:35.719
opportunity to take a break from the day, take a

1234
02:25:35.760 --> 02:25:43.399
break from your life as it is, and to give

1235
02:25:43.440 --> 02:25:51.959
yourself a rest, giving yourself permission to take some time off,

1236
02:25:54.120 --> 02:25:59.520
and to allow your body to relax and allow your

1237
02:25:59.639 --> 02:26:10.280
mind to slow down, which in turn releases the tension

1238
02:26:11.680 --> 02:26:20.440
and it stresses that you had in your body. It's

1239
02:26:20.479 --> 02:26:25.159
almost as if the parts of your body just open up,

1240
02:26:26.399 --> 02:26:38.040
allowing the negativity out and at the same time replacing

1241
02:26:38.879 --> 02:26:48.399
that negativity with positive heathing energy, which then fills your

1242
02:26:48.440 --> 02:26:59.840
body up and your mind to also starts to apprec

1243
02:27:00.079 --> 02:27:14.520
shape those feelings of increasing confidence, an almost uplifting feeling,

1244
02:27:16.559 --> 02:27:30.639
positive healing, an energy that spreads through your body like

1245
02:27:30.719 --> 02:27:41.040
a wave of comfort. And all this comes from just

1246
02:27:44.559 --> 02:27:53.360
allowing yourself a few minutes, maybe half an hour, however

1247
02:27:53.440 --> 02:28:03.719
long you want it to be, just rest and allow

1248
02:28:06.280 --> 02:28:16.879
your mind and your body to almost reset itself to

1249
02:28:16.959 --> 02:28:32.600
the settings of comfort and relaxation, calmness, which allows more

1250
02:28:32.760 --> 02:28:46.200
room for feelings of pleasure and happiness to move around

1251
02:28:46.399 --> 02:28:54.719
your body and into your mind, almost as if your

1252
02:28:54.760 --> 02:29:05.319
mind and your body are sinking together, almost mirroring each

1253
02:29:05.559 --> 02:29:21.120
other with that growing positivity and calmness, and it feels nice.

1254
02:29:21.280 --> 02:29:27.280
It really does feel nice to know that you are

1255
02:29:27.319 --> 02:29:37.520
the one that has allowed yourself to feel more comfort

1256
02:29:40.760 --> 02:29:54.239
and to experience more of this deep relaxation spreading throughout

1257
02:29:54.319 --> 02:30:06.559
your body. And as I focus on each part of

1258
02:30:06.639 --> 02:30:19.079
your body, you can notice that that part becomes even

1259
02:30:20.079 --> 02:30:29.399
more relaxed just by focusing on it. It becomes even

1260
02:30:29.600 --> 02:30:42.280
more calm and comfortable, just by focusing. And as I

1261
02:30:42.520 --> 02:30:50.879
move down your body, starting at your head, the parts

1262
02:30:50.959 --> 02:30:58.399
that you've already focused on will continue to relax deeply,

1263
02:31:01.159 --> 02:31:07.239
and those parts that we've not yet focused on or

1264
02:31:07.360 --> 02:31:19.159
just automatically release any remaining tension in anticipation of even

1265
02:31:19.559 --> 02:31:32.120
more comfort about to come. Now, I'm going to start

1266
02:31:32.200 --> 02:31:39.440
by focusing on your forehead. Just being aware of the

1267
02:31:39.479 --> 02:31:49.799
feelings of your forehead and any background sounds like mister

1268
02:31:50.040 --> 02:31:55.000
Herbert the pigeon can just allow you to feel even

1269
02:31:55.120 --> 02:32:05.760
more relaxed. Means you in the moment, this isn't this

1270
02:32:05.840 --> 02:32:13.879
isn't a sterile environment. This is the world. I live

1271
02:32:14.040 --> 02:32:25.399
in the countryside, so there's lots of nature sounds around.

1272
02:32:26.399 --> 02:32:31.520
So as you focus on your forehead, just notice how

1273
02:32:31.559 --> 02:32:41.639
it becomes even more relaxed as you focus only on

1274
02:32:41.799 --> 02:32:51.399
my voice and that part of your body. Moving down

1275
02:32:51.600 --> 02:33:04.159
to your eyes, focusing on your eyes, noticing how your

1276
02:33:04.200 --> 02:33:12.159
eyelids feel so heavy yet so light at the same time,

1277
02:33:15.399 --> 02:33:26.079
and all the muscles around your eyes relaxing completely. Moving

1278
02:33:26.159 --> 02:33:33.399
your focus down to your mouth, your lips, your tongue,

1279
02:33:34.559 --> 02:33:42.520
your teeth, and your gumbs, the whole of your mouth relaxing,

1280
02:33:46.000 --> 02:33:56.239
calm and loose, as you focus now on your jaw,

1281
02:33:59.319 --> 02:34:02.920
not just the parts of your jawn, ney, your mouth,

1282
02:34:03.680 --> 02:34:08.000
and your chin, but all the way up the size

1283
02:34:08.040 --> 02:34:14.559
of your face to your ears, the hole of your

1284
02:34:14.639 --> 02:34:41.959
jaw feeding more relaxed and calm. Focusing on your neck,

1285
02:34:44.600 --> 02:34:51.799
the front of your neck and your throat relaxing and

1286
02:34:51.920 --> 02:35:02.399
loose and calm. The sides of your neck, the right

1287
02:35:02.520 --> 02:35:18.319
and left side of your neck, relax and loose and calm.

1288
02:35:21.840 --> 02:35:28.719
And now the back of your neck, focusing on the

1289
02:35:28.799 --> 02:35:39.239
back of your neck, letting go of any tension that

1290
02:35:39.399 --> 02:35:41.680
may have been there before.

1291
02:35:42.920 --> 02:35:57.040
And enjoying that sense of increasing comfort and release that

1292
02:35:57.280 --> 02:36:07.680
you can experience. And the back of your neck, moving

1293
02:36:07.920 --> 02:36:14.520
down your back and moving either side of your spine

1294
02:36:15.799 --> 02:36:20.520
right from the top of your back all the way

1295
02:36:20.719 --> 02:36:33.440
down to the bottom of your back, down to your

1296
02:36:33.479 --> 02:36:45.920
lower back. And as you move up and down your spine,

1297
02:36:46.159 --> 02:36:50.639
you can feel the muscles either side of your spine

1298
02:36:52.799 --> 02:37:07.399
relaxing even more. And as those muscles relax, that sense

1299
02:37:07.479 --> 02:37:18.000
of comfort starts to spread outwards from your spine into

1300
02:37:18.159 --> 02:37:24.840
both sides of your back, the top of your back,

1301
02:37:25.639 --> 02:37:31.920
the middle, and your lower back. And as you scan

1302
02:37:33.600 --> 02:37:41.440
gently and slowly up and down your back, there's the

1303
02:37:41.559 --> 02:37:47.440
muscles in the top of your back relax and become looser.

1304
02:37:51.760 --> 02:37:57.760
The muscles in the middle of your back also seem

1305
02:37:57.879 --> 02:38:05.920
to just almost divine, made from each other, separating and

1306
02:38:06.040 --> 02:38:18.879
almost melting. And in your lower back it seems to

1307
02:38:18.920 --> 02:38:32.600
be an extra special feeling of comfort. The spreads into

1308
02:38:32.639 --> 02:38:38.520
your hips. Sit down your lower back, into your hips,

1309
02:38:43.159 --> 02:38:50.399
into the area where your cosis are, and into your buttocks,

1310
02:38:52.440 --> 02:38:58.440
and all those muscles that spread from.

1311
02:38:58.239 --> 02:38:59.360
Your lower back.

1312
02:39:01.520 --> 02:39:13.760
Into your hip area start to melt, start to ready

1313
02:39:14.959 --> 02:39:25.920
let go, and you know where about to focus on

1314
02:39:25.959 --> 02:39:35.040
your shoulders. Your back and your spine will continue to

1315
02:39:35.239 --> 02:39:53.559
let go, continue to relax so calmly, and as you

1316
02:39:53.719 --> 02:40:02.559
focus on your shoulders, you may notice that they're already yeah, feeding.

1317
02:40:05.200 --> 02:40:30.000
Really loose, They already feeding, calm and feeding.

1318
02:40:34.159 --> 02:40:42.520
Those muscles then move from your neck into your shoulders

1319
02:40:49.040 --> 02:41:18.440
feel so soft and gentle, so smooth and calm, and

1320
02:41:18.639 --> 02:41:31.520
the feeding in your shoulders seens to spread deep into

1321
02:41:31.559 --> 02:41:42.000
your shoulders, that sense of relaxation, not just traveling deeply

1322
02:41:42.399 --> 02:41:59.360
into your muscles, but also relaxing the bones and moving

1323
02:41:59.440 --> 02:42:08.280
all away to underneath your arms, relaxing that whole area

1324
02:42:08.479 --> 02:42:18.280
between the tops of your shoulders and underneath your arms healing.

1325
02:42:23.680 --> 02:42:36.600
You feel so relaxed and comfortable in your shoulders. Who

1326
02:42:36.920 --> 02:42:59.159
sends that deep healing message into your arms? You may

1327
02:42:59.399 --> 02:43:04.680
feel almost as if your arms are not even there,

1328
02:43:06.159 --> 02:43:42.920
because they're so relaxed, so deeply relaxed, so so calm,

1329
02:43:43.200 --> 02:44:05.559
so loose, not feeling spreading all the way down your arms,

1330
02:44:07.799 --> 02:44:38.399
two elbows, including your elbows circumforts spreads or away into wrists,

1331
02:44:40.680 --> 02:44:55.840
your forearments and your wrists being so heavy. Yet at

1332
02:44:55.959 --> 02:45:40.159
the same time sunlight and gentle fuku. See now on

1333
02:45:42.600 --> 02:46:15.760
your hands, my hands, so peaceful.

1334
02:46:16.440 --> 02:46:28.280
In your hands.

1335
02:46:36.079 --> 02:46:55.120
There's a sense of real peace. It just seems to

1336
02:46:59.079 --> 02:47:20.040
I feel so familiar when your hands relax deeply. Yes,

1337
02:47:37.760 --> 02:48:46.280
your fingers A thing is sidles you thing it tips.

1338
02:49:14.840 --> 02:49:34.040
Moving your attention to the front of your body, so comfortable,

1339
02:49:45.000 --> 02:51:13.319
moving your focus to your legs, a muscles in your thighs,

1340
02:51:29.520 --> 02:52:07.159
your knees so relaxed, a carved mussels and just sans

1341
02:52:10.639 --> 02:54:25.120
compresedly four and the faathing in your feet, sir, peaceful, so.

1342
02:54:25.399 --> 02:55:12.959
Calm, so peaceful, so calm, so peaceful.

1343
02:55:15.840 --> 02:55:49.959
So calm, so peace fa RelA sin peace fall so calm,

1344
02:55:54.200 --> 02:56:01.239
loveing that deep relaxation to spread the chest and just

1345
02:56:14.920 --> 02:56:33.680
letting go of everything. So I'm gonna start counting down

1346
02:56:33.760 --> 02:56:45.280
now from twenty down to one. You can imagine in

1347
02:56:45.280 --> 02:56:50.879
a way it's like just walking down some steps and

1348
02:56:51.000 --> 02:56:56.559
each step or twenty steps, and each step represents a

1349
02:56:56.719 --> 02:57:10.360
level of comfort, each step represents a deepening of that comfort,

1350
02:57:16.959 --> 02:57:22.000
and the fervies you walk down those steps that a

1351
02:57:22.239 --> 02:57:33.399
deeper and more relaxed you feel. So starting with number

1352
02:57:33.479 --> 03:04:12.280
twenty twenty, nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sisting eight four fourteen too

1353
03:04:12.399 --> 03:10:30.799
well five eight nine eight seven.

1354
03:10:01.159 --> 03:12:24.280
Six five.

1355
03:13:43.000 --> 03:18:18.040
Four two one. And now as you focus on your eyes,

1356
03:18:27.559 --> 03:18:39.280
we're gonna count down from ten to tout one, focusing just

1357
03:18:39.559 --> 03:18:47.479
on your eyes, your eyelids, the muscles around your eyes,

1358
03:18:50.520 --> 03:18:59.239
your eye walls themselves, a whole area that makes up

1359
03:18:59.280 --> 03:19:15.360
your eye. And as we count down from ten down

1360
03:19:15.440 --> 03:19:28.440
to one. Whilst focus in on your eyes, you'll become

1361
03:19:30.479 --> 03:19:42.600
twice is relaxed with each number counting down that you

1362
03:19:42.719 --> 03:19:50.319
may find the all you want to do is just

1363
03:19:52.319 --> 03:19:59.520
drift off to sleep. And if that's what you want,

1364
03:20:02.520 --> 03:20:15.600
then just allow yourself to do that. Now, focusing on

1365
03:20:15.639 --> 03:20:23.000
your eyes, I'm going to begin counting down from ten

1366
03:20:23.360 --> 03:23:13.000
down to one right now, ten nine eight seven s

1367
03:24:36.319 --> 03:29:41.360
five four three two one.

1368
03:29:41.719 --> 03:29:55.600
So counted down from ten to one.

1369
03:29:54.040 --> 03:30:16.239
Ten nine eight seven six five four three two.

1370
03:30:18.079 --> 03:30:24.719
One.

1371
03:30:25.360 --> 03:30:28.280
And maybe that was a bit too quick in order

1372
03:30:28.319 --> 03:30:32.280
to relax. Maybe it's a bit too fast for you

1373
03:30:32.559 --> 03:30:42.319
to notice the calming of your body, maybe even a

1374
03:30:42.319 --> 03:30:43.799
little bit of pressure there, Like.

1375
03:30:44.920 --> 03:30:46.920
You're counting down from ten to one.

1376
03:30:47.000 --> 03:30:50.399
Would you expect me to do? Man, expect me to

1377
03:30:50.440 --> 03:30:54.440
stick go with floppy just because you're counting down.

1378
03:31:00.040 --> 03:31:04.200
We can try again, but this time I go this lower.

1379
03:31:06.280 --> 03:31:11.200
This time, as you focus on the whole of your

1380
03:31:11.200 --> 03:31:19.639
body before we focus on your legs, just notice how

1381
03:31:19.680 --> 03:31:33.799
your body does start to feel more relaxed with every

1382
03:31:33.920 --> 03:32:07.040
number that I count down ten nine eight seven six

1383
03:32:15.399 --> 03:33:24.360
five four three two one, And just notice how how

1384
03:33:24.440 --> 03:33:34.559
you feel generally, how your body feels. It's not necessarily

1385
03:33:34.600 --> 03:33:45.120
even about counting down from ten to one. It's that

1386
03:33:45.319 --> 03:34:05.079
space that you have, that space between being active physically

1387
03:34:05.200 --> 03:34:14.840
or mentally to just sitting or lying down, just being there,

1388
03:34:15.520 --> 03:34:21.040
not doing anything, not saying anything, nor needing to think

1389
03:34:21.120 --> 03:34:27.040
about anything. So it opens up a space, you know,

1390
03:34:27.200 --> 03:34:37.360
a bit of a space, a gap. And the more

1391
03:34:37.799 --> 03:34:41.280
I came down from ten to one, the bigger that

1392
03:34:41.360 --> 03:34:52.360
gap becomes. So there's that gap of calmness, of comfort, relaxation.

1393
03:34:58.280 --> 03:35:10.760
It's a nice feeling, and it moves those stresses or

1394
03:35:11.159 --> 03:35:27.760
discomforts physically or emotionally, moves them away. Allows you to

1395
03:35:28.159 --> 03:35:37.559
just slow down. Someone to count again from ten down

1396
03:35:37.600 --> 03:35:47.600
to one, and notice that gap widening, the gap. And

1397
03:35:47.680 --> 03:35:52.719
as it widens, it's almost like the stress and attention

1398
03:35:53.559 --> 03:35:54.920
falls into.

1399
03:35:54.680 --> 03:35:55.360
The gap.

1400
03:36:08.520 --> 03:37:16.040
And gives you that distance, that space. Now ten nine, eight, seven, six, five, four,

1401
03:37:34.280 --> 03:38:16.879
three two.

1402
03:38:09.559 --> 03:38:20.719
One.

1403
03:38:21.360 --> 03:38:25.479
Now, how does your body feel?

1404
03:38:27.680 --> 03:38:39.120
Now?

1405
03:38:40.559 --> 03:38:55.879
Can you notice? Do you feeling calmer, the feeling more

1406
03:38:56.280 --> 03:39:23.760
relaxed as we now focus on your legs, just your legs.

1407
03:39:39.680 --> 03:39:59.799
We're just gonna start with focusing on your thighs. Of course,

1408
03:40:00.000 --> 03:40:04.799
it's not the most exciting thing to be doing because

1409
03:40:08.280 --> 03:40:11.000
I'm sure like most of your body. Is not a

1410
03:40:11.040 --> 03:40:23.479
lot going on right now, Just focusing on the whole

1411
03:40:23.559 --> 03:40:30.000
of your thighs, the tops of your thighs, the sides

1412
03:40:30.120 --> 03:40:37.159
of your thighs, the bottoms of your thighs, your outer thighs,

1413
03:40:37.200 --> 03:40:42.120
and your inner thighs. Basically the whole of your thigh

1414
03:40:42.239 --> 03:40:51.040
that leads into your hip and it goes down to

1415
03:40:51.200 --> 03:41:05.280
your knee joints. Now, this is a big area. It's

1416
03:41:05.280 --> 03:41:10.840
a very heavy area. It's very strong, probably the strongest

1417
03:41:11.760 --> 03:41:25.000
muscles in your body or in your thighs. But I

1418
03:41:25.040 --> 03:41:33.399
don't think we perhaps give enough attention to our thighs.

1419
03:41:39.280 --> 03:41:50.040
Perhaps we don't acknowledge how important our thighs are to

1420
03:41:50.200 --> 03:42:10.920
our lives, how much they actually do for us, all

1421
03:42:10.920 --> 03:42:21.399
for our lives. And it may seem to sound really weird,

1422
03:42:21.479 --> 03:42:29.920
but I think that all of our body parts, especially

1423
03:42:29.959 --> 03:42:37.600
our thighs, need some TLC, a bit of love shown,

1424
03:42:38.600 --> 03:42:57.360
a bit of acknowledgement, thank you, gratitude for our thighs

1425
03:42:57.559 --> 03:43:06.479
do for us. And I know this may sound a

1426
03:43:06.520 --> 03:43:12.840
bit strange. Maybe you think, why am I, Surely I

1427
03:43:12.920 --> 03:43:18.040
should be out in the garden hugging a tree or something. Well,

1428
03:43:22.200 --> 03:43:24.639
it's hard to set a microphone up on a tree.

1429
03:43:25.520 --> 03:43:27.760
That's why I'm doing this indoors. Otherwise I would be

1430
03:43:27.799 --> 03:43:31.760
outside hugging a tree. I can't see the television from

1431
03:43:31.760 --> 03:43:42.360
the tree. If you move down to your knees gaining

1432
03:43:42.639 --> 03:43:50.799
such an important part, and I think we don't necessarily

1433
03:43:52.280 --> 03:44:00.120
I'll speak for myself here, I don't necessarily appreciate that

1434
03:44:00.200 --> 03:44:05.479
my knees do for me until I have a problem

1435
03:44:05.520 --> 03:44:10.399
with my knee. It's occasionally, if I ever maybe i'll

1436
03:44:10.399 --> 03:44:16.280
pash it, or it's aching for some reason. It's then

1437
03:44:16.760 --> 03:44:21.959
that I realize how much it does. You know, the

1438
03:44:22.040 --> 03:44:29.799
benefit of being able to use my legs without any

1439
03:44:29.920 --> 03:44:37.600
kind of physical discomfort is a beautiful thing that's possibly

1440
03:44:37.719 --> 03:44:45.520
not appreciated until it's temporarily removed. You know that's comfort.

1441
03:44:49.600 --> 03:44:54.239
But as you focus on your knees, regardless of how

1442
03:44:54.280 --> 03:45:01.799
your knees feel, you can have that sense of gratitude

1443
03:45:03.280 --> 03:45:05.959
and love to your knees for all that they do

1444
03:45:06.079 --> 03:45:19.159
for you. And you can still have that attention on

1445
03:45:19.239 --> 03:45:25.440
your thighs and maybe notice how your thighs feel. Maybe

1446
03:45:25.719 --> 03:45:43.159
you've noticed that they are relaxing more deeply. As you

1447
03:45:43.280 --> 03:45:48.600
focus now on the bottoms of your legs, your shins,

1448
03:45:49.360 --> 03:45:55.079
and your calf muscles, and the bones between your knees

1449
03:45:55.799 --> 03:46:03.600
and your feet incorporate, and of course your ankle so important.

1450
03:46:09.239 --> 03:46:14.040
Anyone that's had even like the slightest sprain of an

1451
03:46:14.040 --> 03:46:22.200
ankle knows how how much we take our ankles for granted.

1452
03:46:28.079 --> 03:46:30.079
And it's kind of strange in a way when you

1453
03:46:30.159 --> 03:46:35.799
think that. You know, logically, our wrists are a lot

1454
03:46:35.920 --> 03:46:40.760
thinner than the rest of our arms, which is okay,

1455
03:46:40.840 --> 03:46:44.559
it doesn't I can't see any problem with that because

1456
03:46:44.559 --> 03:46:50.639
we're just picking stuff up. But our ankles so much

1457
03:46:50.879 --> 03:47:00.559
thinner than the rest of our legs, and from a

1458
03:47:00.600 --> 03:47:05.479
physics perspective or logical even it doesn't really make sense

1459
03:47:06.799 --> 03:47:14.200
that all this weight would ultimately be resting on your

1460
03:47:14.239 --> 03:47:24.319
ankles then leading to your feet that thin area, a

1461
03:47:24.559 --> 03:47:34.239
thin bone. Yeah, it does so much great work. Supports us,

1462
03:47:34.280 --> 03:47:44.280
supports our body for a lifetime, helps us to balance,

1463
03:47:46.639 --> 03:47:59.559
helps you to get around and be mobile. And there's

1464
03:47:59.600 --> 03:48:07.520
a car muscles. Of course, when I was younger, I

1465
03:48:07.520 --> 03:48:10.879
couldn't see the point in calf muscles didn't seem to

1466
03:48:10.920 --> 03:48:16.879
do anything. Okay, if I walked around on tiptoes, then

1467
03:48:17.040 --> 03:48:20.799
my calf muscles get some work, but of course that's

1468
03:48:20.840 --> 03:48:25.000
not true. The calf muscles are being used whenever we

1469
03:48:25.319 --> 03:48:38.879
use our legs, and your shins there to protect your

1470
03:48:38.920 --> 03:48:47.959
lower legs, shaped in a way almost as a protector

1471
03:48:48.399 --> 03:49:03.159
for the bone, leading of course to your ankles and

1472
03:49:03.239 --> 03:49:10.200
your feet. But we're not going to focus on your feet.

1473
03:49:10.280 --> 03:49:16.520
We're just going to focus on the legs. And I realize,

1474
03:49:16.680 --> 03:49:20.559
but now that I've mentioned your feet, it probably focuses

1475
03:49:20.840 --> 03:49:23.959
on them anyway, So maybe I should focus on your

1476
03:49:23.959 --> 03:49:29.840
feet a little bit. You can have them in your

1477
03:49:29.840 --> 03:49:36.319
awareness the same as you have your thighs in your awareness.

1478
03:49:37.120 --> 03:49:41.079
Even though we haven't been focusing on your thighs a

1479
03:49:41.120 --> 03:49:52.239
few minutes, I've been focusing on your ankles, there's still

1480
03:49:52.280 --> 03:50:07.399
that sensation of comfort in your thighs in this that

1481
03:50:07.840 --> 03:50:17.959
movement of energy, because the thighs hold lots of different sensations.

1482
03:50:19.360 --> 03:50:24.200
Of course, there's the muscles, the big straw muscles that

1483
03:50:24.319 --> 03:50:37.239
we have in our thighs, but the skin on the

1484
03:50:37.319 --> 03:50:42.799
outside of the thighs, as in the outside of all

1485
03:50:42.879 --> 03:50:51.719
of our body, can be very sensitive, sensitive to the touch,

1486
03:50:54.479 --> 03:51:08.440
sensitive to temperature, and inside your thighs the bones there's

1487
03:51:08.840 --> 03:51:13.639
the muscle. There's the blood, vessels, the ar trees to

1488
03:51:13.799 --> 03:51:21.840
all this stuff that's inside your thighs. And I guess

1489
03:51:21.879 --> 03:51:25.280
sometimes it'd be nice if you could actually put your

1490
03:51:25.319 --> 03:51:32.639
fingers inside your thighs and a message, so you can

1491
03:51:32.680 --> 03:51:36.239
message on the outside, of course, but to be able

1492
03:51:36.239 --> 03:51:39.479
to get deep into the muscles, and to be able

1493
03:51:39.479 --> 03:51:45.040
to just message inside your thighs, message in the bones

1494
03:51:45.920 --> 03:51:53.559
of your leg massage in all the veins and just

1495
03:51:53.719 --> 03:52:06.520
gently heaving your thighs, and you could move down messaging

1496
03:52:06.639 --> 03:52:12.040
inside your knees. It's a message in those bones, but

1497
03:52:12.159 --> 03:52:19.200
with healing fingertips spreading that healing energy deep into the

1498
03:52:19.360 --> 03:52:28.799
joints of your knees. Of course, there's the back of

1499
03:52:28.959 --> 03:52:33.920
your your knee, you know, the inside crease where your

1500
03:52:33.959 --> 03:52:41.559
knee is. It's a very sensitive area. Very it feels

1501
03:52:41.600 --> 03:52:45.680
very nice when you stroke it. That might be because

1502
03:52:46.479 --> 03:52:51.479
it's an area that's not really touched very often. It's

1503
03:52:51.639 --> 03:52:58.159
almost like a hidden part, that crease in your legs.

1504
03:52:58.200 --> 03:53:05.319
It's almost it's like a part that has a sensitivity,

1505
03:53:05.360 --> 03:53:15.879
which is a little bit different. Of course, it's protected

1506
03:53:15.920 --> 03:53:27.280
by your legs, so you can imagine putting your fingers

1507
03:53:27.319 --> 03:53:36.760
into that crease in your legs that fold in between

1508
03:53:36.799 --> 03:53:41.879
your legs. You can just message with your fingertips. Imagine

1509
03:53:41.879 --> 03:53:52.920
your fingertips going inside, massage in the muscle tissue. You

1510
03:53:53.000 --> 03:53:59.159
can of course feel the bones of your knees heading

1511
03:53:59.239 --> 03:54:09.120
through your finger tips. And then as you go down

1512
03:54:11.920 --> 03:54:14.760
to your calf muscles, and that's the part I'd like

1513
03:54:14.840 --> 03:54:19.559
to be able to really put my fingertips deep inside

1514
03:54:20.280 --> 03:54:29.239
my calf muscles, massage in every single tissue of that muscle,

1515
03:54:30.799 --> 03:54:40.760
healing every part, and then doing the same for my shins,

1516
03:54:43.920 --> 03:54:50.840
massage in and gently stroking the bones, gently stroking them,

1517
03:54:51.719 --> 03:54:55.920
healing in a loving way, because they deserve to be

1518
03:54:56.040 --> 03:55:03.799
treated preciless bones that they are, because our legs are

1519
03:55:03.840 --> 03:55:07.639
so precious as in all the other parts of our body,

1520
03:55:10.120 --> 03:55:24.040
and more precious of any juel on the planet. When

1521
03:55:24.079 --> 03:55:35.600
you start to think about your legs in this way,

1522
03:55:36.440 --> 03:55:43.120
it can change your perspective. It might sound a bit

1523
03:55:46.200 --> 03:55:50.479
a bit silly to start with the idea of having

1524
03:55:51.319 --> 03:56:01.360
love for your legs, showing appreciation for your thighs, wanting

1525
03:56:01.479 --> 03:56:05.479
to be able to put your hands in your thighs,

1526
03:56:07.600 --> 03:56:14.040
massage the muscles and the bones, and to get your

1527
03:56:14.079 --> 03:56:22.799
fingers deep in there, releasing all tension, just to show

1528
03:56:24.479 --> 03:56:31.879
how much you care about your legs, how much you

1529
03:56:31.959 --> 03:56:40.559
care for what your legs do for you regularly, your knees,

1530
03:56:40.799 --> 03:56:53.639
your calves, your ankles, the strength of your ankles considering

1531
03:56:53.840 --> 03:56:58.360
how thin they are compared to the rest of your legs,

1532
03:56:58.479 --> 03:57:12.200
especially your thighs. Yeah, they're so strong, so flexible, absolutely

1533
03:57:12.440 --> 03:57:24.280
amazing things. Your ankles are truly a gift because of

1534
03:57:24.319 --> 03:57:35.639
what they do for you, supporting all that weight, regardless

1535
03:57:35.680 --> 03:57:39.680
of how what weight you are, even if you're only

1536
03:57:40.079 --> 03:57:44.920
ate stone, there's still a lot of weight for these

1537
03:57:45.280 --> 03:57:53.000
little ankles. Now I'm a lot heavier than eight stone

1538
03:57:53.360 --> 03:58:02.559
doubled out, yet my ankles support my body all the time,

1539
03:58:06.319 --> 03:58:09.280
or they do give off a sigh of relief when

1540
03:58:09.280 --> 03:58:14.360
I sit down as I have my whole legs do

1541
03:58:18.040 --> 03:58:23.479
my feet feet also go, my toes clap.

1542
03:58:24.680 --> 03:58:41.360
We're so happy.

1543
03:58:45.200 --> 03:58:54.360
Your legs really are amazing. And I know that talking

1544
03:58:54.440 --> 03:59:00.760
about talking about your legs is probably past believe, among

1545
03:59:00.840 --> 03:59:06.559
the most boring things you've ever heard anyone say. Possibly

1546
03:59:09.399 --> 03:59:16.120
they're boring or not. Everything I said is true. Your

1547
03:59:16.239 --> 03:59:36.799
legs are amazing. Your legs deserve not just respect. They

1548
03:59:36.879 --> 03:59:49.479
deserve to relax deeply. They deserve to take some time

1549
03:59:49.559 --> 04:00:13.200
out of the day to just let go completely. The

1550
04:00:13.399 --> 04:00:31.239
legs really can relax. And because the legs are so

1551
04:00:32.280 --> 04:00:37.079
such a most, you know, very important part of your body.

1552
04:00:38.360 --> 04:00:40.959
When you relax your legs, the rest of your body

1553
04:00:41.600 --> 04:01:00.399
also naturally follows in that journey of comfort. I can

1554
04:01:00.479 --> 04:01:05.479
feel it in my hips. My hips feel really loose,

1555
04:01:08.719 --> 04:01:13.319
and also my ler back as well. My lower back

1556
04:01:13.520 --> 04:01:19.079
really feels it feels stretched, even though I'm just sitting

1557
04:01:19.120 --> 04:01:25.120
in a chair and there's no stretching as far as

1558
04:01:25.159 --> 04:01:28.120
I'm aware that I'm doing, but it's almost as if

1559
04:01:28.200 --> 04:01:32.159
the muscles are just relaxed so much that there is

1560
04:01:32.239 --> 04:01:40.760
a natural stretch as the tension has reduced a lot.

1561
04:01:57.079 --> 04:02:00.239
And I'm now going to count down from ten down

1562
04:02:00.280 --> 04:02:08.440
to one.

1563
04:02:04.959 --> 04:02:34.399
And you can continue to fill wonderfully relaxed. Ten nine, eight, seven, six, five,

1564
04:02:38.959 --> 04:03:07.000
four three two one relax. So I'm just going to

1565
04:03:07.120 --> 04:03:12.760
count down and fire down to one. And as a countdown,

1566
04:03:13.799 --> 04:03:18.799
if you just focus on the numbers, just the numbers

1567
04:03:20.200 --> 04:03:29.200
counting down, and notice how you feel in this moment

1568
04:03:30.920 --> 04:03:35.360
as you hear the numbers counting down, knowing that those

1569
04:03:35.479 --> 04:03:48.600
numbers counting down represent you feeling calmer, not just in

1570
04:03:48.639 --> 04:03:57.000
your body, but also relaxing your mind. I'll just notice

1571
04:03:57.040 --> 04:04:03.120
how you feel. There's nothing to do, there's nothing to say,

1572
04:04:03.760 --> 04:04:20.920
there's nothing to think about, starting with number five, four,

1573
04:04:30.319 --> 04:05:06.399
three two one. Now, as you notice the gradual letting go,

1574
04:05:08.639 --> 04:05:15.639
that the tension in your body, you may also begin

1575
04:05:15.920 --> 04:05:22.920
to notice and be aware of how your mind is

1576
04:05:22.959 --> 04:05:30.840
starting to slow down. This is just a natural thing

1577
04:05:31.280 --> 04:05:38.719
that happens. It's not really a special procedure. It's just

1578
04:05:38.879 --> 04:05:45.120
natural because as your body relaxes, your mind also starts

1579
04:05:45.159 --> 04:05:49.840
to relax, and the more your mind relaxes, the more

1580
04:05:49.879 --> 04:05:55.200
your body relaxes. It's just a continuous circle of relaxation.

1581
04:06:01.159 --> 04:06:09.719
And there's that calmness that comes from relative quietness. You know,

1582
04:06:09.840 --> 04:06:15.440
even even if there's background sounds either your side, online,

1583
04:06:17.159 --> 04:06:23.120
it's still going to be quite calm. You know, you

1584
04:06:23.159 --> 04:06:28.399
haven't got the television on, there's no music in the background,

1585
04:06:28.440 --> 04:06:31.159
unless you're listening to the recording with music. Of course,

1586
04:06:36.000 --> 04:06:38.159
you're very likely not going to be sitting in a

1587
04:06:38.280 --> 04:06:41.399
room with other people. Of course you might be, but

1588
04:06:42.680 --> 04:06:45.959
generally it's more ideal if you can do this.

1589
04:06:45.879 --> 04:06:56.959
On your own, so no distractions, and when you stop

1590
04:06:57.040 --> 04:07:06.440
thinking about stuff, relaxation.

1591
04:07:07.559 --> 04:07:19.639
Automatically rises, a sense of comfort starts to grow, and

1592
04:07:21.440 --> 04:07:26.760
without trying to build it up into something fantastical or

1593
04:07:30.040 --> 04:07:39.000
something magical, this is just a natural process, something that's

1594
04:07:39.959 --> 04:07:49.719
easy to accomplish. In fact, it's almost the sense of

1595
04:07:49.920 --> 04:07:58.200
relaxing completely happens really when you put no effort into it.

1596
04:07:58.200 --> 04:08:03.959
It's not something that you can really force. Is something

1597
04:08:04.079 --> 04:08:14.840
that happens naturally. And part of the process of this

1598
04:08:15.079 --> 04:08:27.079
recording and others is simply two allow you to take

1599
04:08:27.120 --> 04:08:42.079
advantage of this space, this time, to just let go,

1600
04:08:45.120 --> 04:08:53.360
to just be here, to be in tune with how

1601
04:08:53.440 --> 04:09:06.840
you feel, yet with the intention of wanting to relax

1602
04:09:06.959 --> 04:09:18.440
deeply and maybe even to fall asleep, depending on what

1603
04:09:18.479 --> 04:09:24.639
it is that you wish for yourself in this moment.

1604
04:09:31.600 --> 04:09:41.000
As we know, relaxing is the majority of the process

1605
04:09:41.079 --> 04:09:46.280
of falling asleep. The actual falling asleep part is the

1606
04:09:46.399 --> 04:09:54.200
tiny bit at the end. The deeper relaxed do you become,

1607
04:09:58.120 --> 04:10:16.079
the easier you find yourself drifting. You can also if

1608
04:10:16.120 --> 04:10:32.200
you choose stay focused on my voice and really enjoy

1609
04:10:32.920 --> 04:11:02.079
the process gradually relaxing each muscle in your body effortlessly

1610
04:11:09.159 --> 04:11:37.079
and just observing the sensation of letting go completely. This time,

1611
04:11:37.200 --> 04:11:45.440
I'm going to count from six down to one, and

1612
04:11:45.639 --> 04:11:55.280
you can notice your mind calming down more with each

1613
04:11:55.760 --> 04:15:11.840
number that you hear me say, naturally, feeling calm and slow, peaceful, six, five, four, three, two.

1614
04:14:46.959 --> 04:15:13.559
Four, being aware of how your.

1615
04:15:13.600 --> 04:15:42.680
Mind has slowed right down, sinking deeply into relaxation. And

1616
04:15:42.799 --> 04:15:49.879
as you focus on your mind, you may notice that

1617
04:15:51.639 --> 04:15:59.440
there are some thoughts still there, maybe some stubborn thoughts

1618
04:15:59.600 --> 04:16:14.879
that for some reason perhaps need your attention. So what

1619
04:16:15.120 --> 04:16:27.440
you can do is send love to those thoughts. Sprinkle

1620
04:16:28.079 --> 04:16:30.159
those thoughts.

1621
04:16:33.479 --> 04:16:34.040
With love.

1622
04:16:35.760 --> 04:16:40.040
Might all petals from a flower, Just sprinkle it over them,

1623
04:16:41.440 --> 04:16:48.680
petals filled with love towards those thoughts, to let those

1624
04:16:48.799 --> 04:16:55.399
thoughts know that you're not abandon in them. You just

1625
04:16:55.719 --> 04:17:05.840
need them. You require them to just calm down, slow down,

1626
04:17:08.120 --> 04:17:23.040
quiet down for now. So as you focus on those

1627
04:17:23.719 --> 04:17:28.639
remaining thoughts, as we count down this time from seven

1628
04:17:29.520 --> 04:17:38.239
down to one with each number, just imagine sprinkling those

1629
04:17:38.440 --> 04:17:57.920
flower petals of love, kindness, gratitude over those thoughts, which

1630
04:17:57.959 --> 04:18:03.920
will allow them to just melt away and relaxed deeply.

1631
04:18:08.079 --> 04:18:22.559
With every number, those thoughts will become more and more relaxed.

1632
04:18:28.120 --> 04:20:42.280
Starting with number seven, six, five, four, three, two. What

1633
04:21:00.079 --> 04:21:25.440
how notice how relaxed you're feeling in your body. We're

1634
04:21:25.479 --> 04:21:39.239
going to focus on your hands, because the more relaxed

1635
04:21:39.319 --> 04:21:46.559
your hands are, the more relaxed your body and mind are.

1636
04:22:01.440 --> 04:22:07.920
And there's you focus on your hands and your fingers.

1637
04:22:13.040 --> 04:22:17.799
There's nothing needed to be done. There's no clenching of

1638
04:22:18.079 --> 04:22:23.959
fists or dancing the fingers or anything like that. Yeah,

1639
04:22:29.879 --> 04:22:44.159
it's just noticing and focusing on your hands, noticing how

1640
04:22:44.200 --> 04:23:08.920
they feel. Because the more relaxed your hands feel, the

1641
04:23:09.159 --> 04:23:18.639
calmer your mind feels, and the more comfort you feel

1642
04:23:20.680 --> 04:23:46.040
throughout your body. And you may have already noticed your

1643
04:23:50.399 --> 04:24:21.280
mind is starting to dress like sinse, just on your

1644
04:24:21.399 --> 04:24:39.760
hands and fingers, allowing them to experience a real deepening

1645
04:24:40.959 --> 04:24:55.840
of that relaxation in your hands and fingers, more and

1646
04:24:56.040 --> 04:25:12.159
more relaxed. With each number from eight.

1647
04:25:14.360 --> 04:25:20.760
Down to one, you can.

1648
04:25:20.639 --> 04:25:31.920
Almost feel that healing and relaxing energy spreading into your

1649
04:25:32.040 --> 04:25:52.280
hands and fingers, becoming year row relaxing. With each number.

1650
04:25:54.239 --> 04:26:00.000
You hear going down.

1651
04:26:01.719 --> 04:26:32.799
Eight down to one, drifting drifting again, Starting with number eight.

1652
04:27:01.040 --> 04:27:45.559
Seven six.

1653
04:28:14.799 --> 04:28:40.319
Five four.

1654
04:28:59.479 --> 04:29:46.559
Three hush.

1655
04:29:35.840 --> 04:29:35.879
U.

1656
04:30:19.600 --> 04:30:29.120
Just being here now, nothing to think about, nothing to do,

1657
04:30:30.520 --> 04:30:44.520
nothing to say, and everything just feels calmer. And this

1658
04:30:44.760 --> 04:30:52.479
is your natural state of being. This is how you

1659
04:30:52.639 --> 04:30:59.520
just normally feel when you take away all that other

1660
04:31:00.079 --> 04:31:07.040
stuff that we add, you know, things like stress and

1661
04:31:07.120 --> 04:31:23.319
worrying and overthinking, the anxiety, tension, just generally thinking about stuff.

1662
04:31:25.479 --> 04:31:28.799
You take that away, which is what we do.

1663
04:31:29.399 --> 04:31:41.280
What we do now you're left with a real sense

1664
04:31:41.879 --> 04:31:54.440
of peacefulness which comes to you very quickly, because ultimately

1665
04:31:55.040 --> 04:32:08.959
it's just a feeling, a feeling of comfort, almost as

1666
04:32:08.959 --> 04:32:13.120
if you've gone inside yourself and you've found a special

1667
04:32:13.200 --> 04:32:26.920
place where everything is peaceful, a place where you can

1668
04:32:27.040 --> 04:32:37.680
feel relaxed and your natural sense of comfort, a place

1669
04:32:37.719 --> 04:32:46.520
where you can be you, where you can accept yourself

1670
04:32:47.520 --> 04:32:52.639
for who you are, the place where you're not trying

1671
04:32:52.680 --> 04:33:03.479
to please anybody else ever, a place where you can

1672
04:33:04.759 --> 04:33:13.520
actually not just love yourself, but in some ways more importantly,

1673
04:33:14.119 --> 04:33:31.200
you can like yourself appreciate who you are. That sense

1674
04:33:31.279 --> 04:33:44.599
of gratitude is in the air all around you, and

1675
04:33:44.720 --> 04:33:52.599
that's also a place where you can actually feel the

1676
04:33:52.919 --> 04:34:08.240
healing energy soaking into your body, healing energy soaking into

1677
04:34:08.279 --> 04:34:18.439
your body, and that healing energy spreads through your veins,

1678
04:34:22.040 --> 04:34:28.959
traveling to each and every single part of your body,

1679
04:34:34.840 --> 04:34:39.479
and you start to realize that actually, that healing energy,

1680
04:34:41.919 --> 04:34:48.360
it's not just entered into your brain, it's become part

1681
04:34:48.840 --> 04:35:00.000
of your brain, and that spinal fluid is now mixed

1682
04:35:00.080 --> 04:35:11.119
sort of healing energy, not just allowing you to feel

1683
04:35:11.319 --> 04:35:22.880
so much more relaxed and healthy in this moment, but

1684
04:35:23.119 --> 04:35:32.919
also you start to realize to actually, what's happening now

1685
04:35:33.880 --> 04:35:43.799
without healing, relaxing energy spreading through your body, it's actually

1686
04:35:44.159 --> 04:35:54.400
changing your life. It's actually changing the way you're going

1687
04:35:54.479 --> 04:36:01.520
to feel, not just now, but tomorrow and the next day.

1688
04:36:03.159 --> 04:36:10.680
There's your health improves, not just your physical health, but

1689
04:36:10.799 --> 04:36:18.240
your mental health. Things that used to bother you in

1690
04:36:18.319 --> 04:36:25.959
the past, for some reason, no longer have the effect

1691
04:36:26.400 --> 04:36:35.360
that they used to because something has changed deep within you.

1692
04:36:40.400 --> 04:36:46.880
Maybe things that used to cause you to feel anger

1693
04:36:50.639 --> 04:37:00.799
no longer have that power to control you the way

1694
04:37:00.799 --> 04:37:10.119
they seem to be able to before. As you realize.

1695
04:37:09.880 --> 04:37:14.799
That you're the one.

1696
04:37:12.959 --> 04:37:24.720
Who decides what affects you, You're the one who decides

1697
04:37:27.520 --> 04:37:38.599
to feel relaxed and calm when you choose to enjoy

1698
04:37:40.119 --> 04:37:55.720
noticing these natural developments of healing, continuing to grow and

1699
04:37:55.880 --> 04:38:07.240
improve your life day by day, including of course your

1700
04:38:07.279 --> 04:38:24.560
ability to relax so much easier and sleep in it's

1701
04:38:24.599 --> 04:38:34.959
the most natural thing in the world to you, because

1702
04:38:35.200 --> 04:38:42.880
falling asleep is something that you've done so many times.

1703
04:38:44.080 --> 04:38:51.639
In your life, and you know that you were born, as.

1704
04:38:51.479 --> 04:38:57.880
We all were, with the ability to fall asleep naturally.

1705
04:39:02.200 --> 04:39:13.959
We're bore with that ability to just drift off into

1706
04:39:14.080 --> 04:39:26.959
a deep, healing sleep. Even when we're kids, sometimes will

1707
04:39:27.040 --> 04:39:31.279
fall asleep and we don't even want to try to

1708
04:39:31.880 --> 04:39:36.279
stay awake. Maybe it's a birthday in the morning, or

1709
04:39:36.319 --> 04:39:40.599
it's Christmas or holiday or something we look forward to.

1710
04:39:41.119 --> 04:39:42.360
We don't want to go to sleep.

1711
04:39:44.560 --> 04:39:46.240
But the more you want.

1712
04:39:46.119 --> 04:39:51.319
To stay awake, the more we just start to drift.

1713
04:39:55.439 --> 04:39:59.439
And the more you fight drifting, the more you try

1714
04:39:59.520 --> 04:40:04.599
to stop so often drifting a say, the deeper and

1715
04:40:04.880 --> 04:40:16.520
stronger that drifting becomes. Because we're born not just with

1716
04:40:16.639 --> 04:40:23.119
the need to relax deeply and to naturally fall asleep,

1717
04:40:26.319 --> 04:40:39.680
but it's our birthright, it's part of our DNA. And

1718
04:40:39.880 --> 04:40:45.520
sometimes as we get older in life, perhaps at times

1719
04:40:46.279 --> 04:40:59.959
we have forgotten that relaxing completely. It's not only a wonderful,

1720
04:41:00.080 --> 04:41:23.880
really pleasant experience, it's also really easy. It's very very

1721
04:41:24.279 --> 04:41:26.200
easy to.

1722
04:41:26.279 --> 04:41:30.479
Let go, because that's all it is, is just.

1723
04:41:33.919 --> 04:41:45.400
Deciding to let go. And when you press the play

1724
04:41:45.439 --> 04:41:55.720
button on my recordings, you have given permission from my

1725
04:41:55.959 --> 04:42:04.080
voice to relax you. When you press that play button,

1726
04:42:05.080 --> 04:42:13.520
you have given me permission for my words to effect

1727
04:42:16.000 --> 04:42:27.880
you in a positive, only a positive way. Opening up

1728
04:42:33.040 --> 04:42:33.919
your mind.

1729
04:42:35.439 --> 04:42:40.400
Two useful.

1730
04:42:41.479 --> 04:42:46.080
And healing suggestions.

1731
04:42:50.599 --> 04:42:51.680
They can have.

1732
04:42:55.799 --> 04:43:03.479
Such an amazing effect on how you feel right now,

1733
04:43:08.000 --> 04:43:17.880
as well as those changes that continue long after the

1734
04:43:17.959 --> 04:43:28.759
recording ends, those changes within you that continue to flourish

1735
04:43:29.479 --> 04:43:44.080
and grow, transforming your life in a positive, beautiful way,

1736
04:43:47.159 --> 04:43:54.240
allowing you to move forward in your life in the

1737
04:43:54.319 --> 04:44:11.560
direction that you choose for yourself. And this feeling, this

1738
04:44:11.880 --> 04:44:27.520
feeling that you in experience of safety, comfort, calmness, This

1739
04:44:27.720 --> 04:44:41.479
feels so nice. It's such a healthy place to be.

1740
04:44:49.240 --> 04:44:52.159
And that positivity.

1741
04:44:52.360 --> 04:45:11.400
Grows within you each and every day. Moving forward, you're

1742
04:45:11.479 --> 04:45:22.319
going to find that you're more relaxed physically and in

1743
04:45:22.439 --> 04:45:31.360
your mind is more relaxed. And it's not that you're

1744
04:45:31.439 --> 04:45:37.200
thinking slower, it's just that your mind would be less

1745
04:45:37.840 --> 04:45:49.520
clogged up with unnecessary negativity because from now on, your

1746
04:45:49.680 --> 04:45:59.400
mind rejects negativity. From now on, you're going to start

1747
04:45:59.639 --> 04:46:16.040
noticing when negativity arises. You can just say stop, stop,

1748
04:46:18.840 --> 04:46:20.919
and that negativity.

1749
04:46:22.520 --> 04:46:29.040
Will turn around and leave you alone.

1750
04:46:33.599 --> 04:46:52.959
Stop and that negativity will disappear. And as you notice

1751
04:46:53.240 --> 04:47:01.560
that you feel way more relaxed than you probably expected.

1752
04:47:07.720 --> 04:47:09.159
You can now.

1753
04:47:12.200 --> 04:47:18.159
Congratulate yourself because you're the person that has done this.

1754
04:47:19.840 --> 04:47:23.000
You are the one that has.

1755
04:47:23.040 --> 04:47:31.520
Opened your mind up to the simple facts. You can

1756
04:47:31.880 --> 04:47:36.520
feel more relaxed in your body and in your mind.

1757
04:47:42.720 --> 04:47:44.840
You've opened your mind up.

1758
04:47:44.799 --> 04:47:48.200
To the birthrights.

1759
04:47:48.200 --> 04:47:49.479
Have been able to just.

1760
04:47:52.119 --> 04:47:56.880
Fall asleep easily when you choose.

1761
04:48:05.479 --> 04:48:06.040
And that's a.

1762
04:48:06.119 --> 04:48:12.639
Nice feeling, don't you think feels nice?

1763
04:48:12.720 --> 04:48:16.159
Doesn't it?

1764
04:48:16.200 --> 04:48:23.119
To feel calm? All that healing energy is spreading through

1765
04:48:23.119 --> 04:48:33.479
your body in your mind to spend time in a

1766
04:48:35.639 --> 04:48:52.279
special place where negativity can no longer enter. Negativity is banned.

1767
04:48:53.159 --> 04:49:01.479
It's bad, it's not allowed. Intrigue doesn't doesn't. This doesn't

1768
04:49:01.639 --> 04:49:09.720
deserve to be here, doesn't belong here. Negativity has no

1769
04:49:10.000 --> 04:49:23.360
place in your life, which makes room.

1770
04:49:23.319 --> 04:49:27.720
For more comfort, more.

1771
04:49:27.720 --> 04:49:55.919
Healing, more relaxation, more peace. It was nice, doesn't.

1772
04:49:55.599 --> 04:50:01.959
It just to let go.

1773
04:50:05.360 --> 04:50:22.159
Everything. I'm gonna count down now from.

1774
04:50:22.639 --> 04:50:24.080
Twenty down to one.

1775
04:50:27.439 --> 04:50:29.840
He can continue to relax.

1776
04:50:32.000 --> 04:50:34.200
If you choose, you can.

1777
04:50:37.040 --> 04:50:39.680
Career to sleep.

1778
04:50:43.200 --> 04:50:44.439
Let re number.

1779
04:50:46.599 --> 04:50:58.479
Hear me say you can fill twice as relaxed, or

1780
04:50:58.520 --> 04:50:59.919
if you choose you can.

1781
04:51:00.919 --> 04:51:03.040
Not wise sleeping.

Wary h.

It's your time.

1786
04:54:08.080 --> 04:54:20.479
Let just take a break, your time to.

1787
04:54:17.680 --> 04:54:23.520
Relax, to allow.

1788
04:54:23.080 --> 04:54:34.200
Your mind to slow down, to give.

1789
04:54:34.119 --> 04:54:52.840
Yourself permission to take a break from everything. And you're

1790
04:54:52.880 --> 04:54:54.680
the only person.

1791
04:54:54.959 --> 04:55:01.599
That can make that decision, any person that can actually

1792
04:55:01.680 --> 04:55:08.439
tell your mind just relax.

1793
04:55:16.560 --> 04:55:17.080
You just.

1794
04:55:20.680 --> 04:55:22.080
Take some time.

04:55:31.400 --> 04:55:35.840
So that you can focus on your body, getting.
