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

2
00:00:16.600 --> 00:00:21.800
So this is qun a Friday. My name is Jason

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

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

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

6
00:00:43.799 --> 00:00:46.359
of an apple also on the floor for him to eat,

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

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

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

10
00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:13.439
very stage. Other than that, please only listen and you

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

12
00:01:19.319 --> 00:01:25.799
letmeboydsleep dot com for this podcast, but I do also

13
00:01:25.959 --> 00:01:29.599
have my Jason Newland dot com which is still available.

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

15
00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:37.760
It's a little bit different format, but it gives you

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

17
00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:49.040
to my other stuff as well. I know I haven't

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

19
00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:08.120
a recording on the sixth, which was what was one, two, three, four, five, six,

20
00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:15.240
seven eight days ago, and I did one on the fifth,

21
00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:18.919
which was the Friday day before, one on the fourth,

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

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

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

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

26
00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:41.800
seventeenth of August, fourteenth of August, twelfth of August, eleventh, tenth, ninth, eighth, seventh, sixth, fifth, fourth, third.

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

28
00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:50.240
It's just been like a week and the stats have

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

30
00:03:57.719 --> 00:03:59.560
do recording, although I didn't.

31
00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:00.800
You know.

32
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:03.039
I'm still in the process of sorting some of the

33
00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:08.319
podcasts out I did start. If this is a bit echoey,

34
00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:11.479
I'm sorry. I've moved my microphone to a different part

35
00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:16.600
of the room, and I might need to get some

36
00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:23.000
kind of soundproofing on this wall here there because the

37
00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:30.439
bookcases aren't here anymore. I can get that sorid I'll

38
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:33.879
sort that out at some point, or I could just

39
00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:36.839
move back to doing it on the chair. But that's

40
00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:41.600
a little bit uncomfortable. It's not uncomfortable as far as sitting,

41
00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:45.959
but making a recording, I'm kind of I don't really

42
00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:52.000
have the back support that I need. My neck's a

43
00:04:52.040 --> 00:04:54.959
little bit bent, and I'm kind of having to lean forward.

44
00:04:56.720 --> 00:05:00.360
Here I can just talk and I'm sitting up Drake,

45
00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:03.639
it's a little bit easier. And also because I'm looking

46
00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:08.519
at the laptop to get the Facebook questions, it's kind

47
00:05:08.519 --> 00:05:12.480
of handy to have it in front of me rather

48
00:05:12.519 --> 00:05:18.680
than to keep looking down. So yeah, I'd like to

49
00:05:18.680 --> 00:05:20.839
say thank you to those of you that have sent

50
00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:31.959
me lovely messages of support. Thank you and yeah, and

51
00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:36.319
also a big message to shout out to Brooke. I

52
00:05:36.600 --> 00:05:39.680
do like I've got a message from Cara. I've not

53
00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:41.000
replied yet. I'm sorry.

54
00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:42.160
I just.

55
00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:49.600
I think I've missed a few messages that I've not

56
00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:53.000
replied to, and I do apologize. I'm not meaning to

57
00:05:53.040 --> 00:05:58.000
do that. Just kind of lost track of stuff, if

58
00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:02.199
I'm honest. But I did try and do the Q

59
00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:06.000
and A Friday on Friday and all it might have

60
00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:11.120
been Saturday morning, No, it's Friday. I think I ended

61
00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:16.959
up talking about something completely different from the Q and

62
00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:23.360
A Friday and it turned into I suppose, quite a

63
00:06:23.399 --> 00:06:28.560
serious conversation, so I just ended up ditching it after

64
00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:33.759
about forty minutes. But this is Q and a Friday,

65
00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:41.000
and I will be focusing on just the questions if

66
00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:47.720
I can find it, here we go, right, Okay, it

67
00:06:48.199 --> 00:06:53.319
would go here we go, here we go. So no

68
00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:56.920
big long blah blah blah. I'm just going to get

69
00:06:57.120 --> 00:07:02.120
straight down onto it, straight down to the nitty gritty

70
00:07:03.160 --> 00:07:08.879
drinking water as well. Spent after night up last night

71
00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:16.720
watching The Boxing Canello Crawford. It was very good. So

72
00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:21.519
Hope is the first question, and Hope asks what are

73
00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:35.199
your top five favorite movies? Ok mm hmmmmmm Off the

74
00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:38.360
top of my head, I'm just gonna shout when I'm

75
00:07:38.519 --> 00:07:47.279
shout them out, but the Wanderers, Airplane, It's a Wonderful Life,

76
00:07:51.160 --> 00:08:00.480
the Life of Brian, groundhog Day. I'm not going to

77
00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:05.879
say they're my absolute favorites. It's a Wonderful Life is

78
00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:11.000
my absolute favorite movie of all of them. But the

79
00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:19.319
others I love and have watched multiple times. Although Airplane

80
00:08:19.480 --> 00:08:24.600
Life for Brian not so much because I kind of want,

81
00:08:25.079 --> 00:08:28.920
yeah it just because their comedy is good. To leave

82
00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:32.480
them a bit, you know, let them marinate and come

83
00:08:32.519 --> 00:08:35.399
back to them maybe a few years later, leave it

84
00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:41.159
a decade or so. But they are five off the

85
00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:45.639
top of my head. I'm just trying to think of

86
00:08:45.679 --> 00:08:51.720
any other ones that I really going back to when

87
00:08:51.759 --> 00:09:07.320
I was little boom boom boom boom boom boom boom movies.

88
00:09:07.399 --> 00:09:17.360
Just I'm trying to think a movie that blew me away.

89
00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:20.240
The End of the Dragon would be another one, So

90
00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:23.679
I'm going to add that on. In fact, I would

91
00:09:23.799 --> 00:09:29.679
add that probably number two out of all the ones,

92
00:09:29.960 --> 00:09:33.720
although I couldn't really watch it anymore. But as far

93
00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:38.120
as having an impact on my life, I think let

94
00:09:38.159 --> 00:09:41.120
me It's a Wonderful Life had an impact on me.

95
00:09:44.039 --> 00:09:47.519
I remember watching it the very first time. I was

96
00:09:47.600 --> 00:09:52.559
living above the co op where I was working. It's

97
00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:57.720
nine eighty eight. Is a story behind this? Shall I

98
00:09:57.720 --> 00:10:04.000
tell you the story? Yeah? Go on there right. I

99
00:10:04.799 --> 00:10:07.080
was working at a chip shop. I probably mentioned this

100
00:10:07.240 --> 00:10:12.279
a few thousand times over the years. And what happened

101
00:10:12.679 --> 00:10:19.919
is my boss I said something that annoyed my boss.

102
00:10:21.360 --> 00:10:24.480
And this would have been the beginning of March time,

103
00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:31.639
maybe February March nineteen eighty eight, so I'd been working

104
00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:35.120
there for nearly two years, what about two years at

105
00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:37.320
this point, I've been living upstairs in the flat for

106
00:10:37.399 --> 00:10:44.720
a year. So one day he was just talking about

107
00:10:44.840 --> 00:10:48.519
going to see Stevie Wan doing concert, and I was

108
00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:51.320
getting annoyed because he was talking about nice things he

109
00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:53.320
was doing and I had no money to do anything,

110
00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:57.279
and I just, I don't know, I was probably jealous, possibly,

111
00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:00.799
And I was a big fan, a bigger fan of

112
00:11:00.840 --> 00:11:04.840
Stevie Wander than he was, because I listened to Stevie

113
00:11:04.840 --> 00:11:07.600
Wonder like nearly all the time when I'm back then

114
00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:15.080
I said something to upset him, and he pushed me

115
00:11:15.120 --> 00:11:19.960
against the wall and he was like twice my size

116
00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:22.720
at this time. It wouldn't be now, but you know,

117
00:11:22.759 --> 00:11:24.600
back then he was twicet, like pushed me against the

118
00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:31.080
wall and I just told him to get off. He

119
00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:38.360
did apologize, He did apologize, like because I walked out.

120
00:11:38.519 --> 00:11:40.720
I said, you know, I just walked out, went upstairs,

121
00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:46.720
and he apologized. And I couldn't let it go though,

122
00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:49.799
so I kind of said, no, don't worry, and then

123
00:11:49.840 --> 00:11:51.480
I went back to work and I just couldn't. I

124
00:11:51.480 --> 00:11:58.519
couldn't be there anymore, so I quit. I left, I

125
00:11:58.559 --> 00:12:01.559
was given a month to get out of the flat,

126
00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:09.039
but I didn't know where to go because I didn't

127
00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:12.320
have a job or anything. So what happened is I

128
00:12:12.399 --> 00:12:17.080
ended up moving in with my dad, who had a

129
00:12:17.120 --> 00:12:22.799
new house. So I was seventeen at this point. I

130
00:12:22.919 --> 00:12:25.960
stayed in his spare bedroom. It was only temporary. It's

131
00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:34.799
a temporary situation, and I, yeah, it didn't ask me

132
00:12:34.840 --> 00:12:39.600
to leave. But I worked in a car. I got

133
00:12:39.639 --> 00:12:42.720
a job. I got two jobs. Actually, the first job

134
00:12:42.759 --> 00:12:46.840
I got when I was living at my dad's for

135
00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:53.639
the first time was in a care home like a

136
00:12:53.679 --> 00:12:57.840
residential home, and I was helping in the kitchen because

137
00:12:57.840 --> 00:13:03.279
I had whatever you want to call it experience, you know,

138
00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:09.320
catering experience. I've been to college, spent years at school

139
00:13:09.320 --> 00:13:17.000
working and doing I can't remember what it was called.

140
00:13:17.559 --> 00:13:22.639
What was it called domestic domestic education or whatever it

141
00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:30.480
was called that involved cooking and stuff. So I got

142
00:13:30.480 --> 00:13:37.759
a job working in the kitchen. Now I thought i'd

143
00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:43.200
be able to handle that. And I'll tell you right now,

144
00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:45.559
it's going to be very hard for me to move

145
00:13:45.600 --> 00:13:48.440
my way back to talking about movies, because I'm going

146
00:13:48.519 --> 00:13:50.440
to get stuck on this, I think. But Hey, I'm

147
00:13:50.480 --> 00:14:01.000
just listening, you know. So I'm in this. I go

148
00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:07.480
to this job. I wasn't enthusiastic about it, but back

149
00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:11.559
then I just took whatever I could get. It was

150
00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:14.919
just a job. I think that was the understanding. I

151
00:14:14.919 --> 00:14:16.879
could stay with my dad, but I had to work.

152
00:14:18.759 --> 00:14:21.080
And it's very easy to get a job back then

153
00:14:21.799 --> 00:14:24.720
at my age, you know, I basically I didn't have

154
00:14:24.759 --> 00:14:27.519
to take those menial jobs. And not that there's nothing

155
00:14:27.519 --> 00:14:31.320
wrong with working in a care home. BlimE me. It's

156
00:14:31.320 --> 00:14:33.879
a really good job to have, and it's a you know,

157
00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:38.879
you know what I mean, Like if it's a it's

158
00:14:39.240 --> 00:14:43.679
although I wouldn't wasn't directly caring for elderly people. I

159
00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:47.200
was cooking for them. So that's a very important part

160
00:14:47.240 --> 00:14:55.440
of being alive, isn't it? Having food? Apparently, So I'll

161
00:14:55.440 --> 00:14:57.399
tell you right now it didn't work out very well,

162
00:14:57.519 --> 00:15:02.200
but I'll come to that. I could have done anything, really,

163
00:15:02.519 --> 00:15:04.360
I could have. You know, I lived in a place

164
00:15:04.360 --> 00:15:06.720
where there was a docks, one of the biggest docks

165
00:15:06.720 --> 00:15:10.759
in Europe. I could have got a job as a runner,

166
00:15:10.960 --> 00:15:17.039
just taking parcels from one place to another. You know,

167
00:15:17.080 --> 00:15:18.919
I could have got a job in. I don't know.

168
00:15:19.000 --> 00:15:21.240
There wasn't there wasn't a lot going, but there was

169
00:15:21.600 --> 00:15:24.120
probably thousands of jobs that I could have applied for

170
00:15:24.840 --> 00:15:30.519
on the docks, and I didn't even think about it.

171
00:15:32.799 --> 00:15:35.159
All I wanted to do is just get the first

172
00:15:35.200 --> 00:15:38.120
available job, which is why I did that. So I

173
00:15:38.120 --> 00:15:40.360
went to the job center. I said, I'll go for

174
00:15:40.480 --> 00:15:43.759
that one they phoned up. That's in a days, right.

175
00:15:44.120 --> 00:15:47.440
I don't know what it's like where you live, and

176
00:15:47.480 --> 00:15:52.919
I don't know what it's like now either. That's very

177
00:15:52.919 --> 00:16:01.440
slavery like now. Anyway, I'm getting all to try feedback

178
00:16:02.399 --> 00:16:04.840
from my own mouth, even though I've not got headphones on.

179
00:16:07.360 --> 00:16:10.200
Back in those days, we had this little job center

180
00:16:10.320 --> 00:16:14.360
on a corner and it was little. There was no room.

181
00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:21.960
There was there's literally the seating was two desks, two

182
00:16:22.039 --> 00:16:25.840
seats with people even at the other side, and then

183
00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:28.960
some jobs in the window, some jobs in the other

184
00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:30.720
window the other side, and there's some jobs on the

185
00:16:30.720 --> 00:16:34.159
other side, and it's like it was the size of

186
00:16:34.240 --> 00:16:39.480
a corner shop, like a corner sweet shop. It wasn't

187
00:16:39.519 --> 00:16:49.840
big at all. And I have no idea where people

188
00:16:49.960 --> 00:16:51.919
used to go to sign on, because I never signed

189
00:16:51.919 --> 00:16:54.200
on when I was in that town, so or I

190
00:16:54.320 --> 00:16:56.919
was never unemployed, so I was, but I never like

191
00:16:57.080 --> 00:17:02.240
claimed benefits. I think it must have been somewhere else

192
00:17:02.279 --> 00:17:06.000
they went because there was no room in there, but

193
00:17:06.079 --> 00:17:09.519
they had these bits of cardboard, so there was this

194
00:17:09.640 --> 00:17:15.319
big plastic sheeting with I suppose pockets which you could

195
00:17:15.359 --> 00:17:20.640
put not like pockets in trousers, you know, you can

196
00:17:20.720 --> 00:17:26.599
put these I suppose post card size or index cards

197
00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:34.279
in and it'd advertise the latest jobs. So I'd look

198
00:17:34.279 --> 00:17:36.920
in the window and then have them either side so

199
00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:40.200
you could look outside and you could look inside different jobs,

200
00:17:40.720 --> 00:17:43.519
and then I could just like I think you'd maybe

201
00:17:43.599 --> 00:17:47.480
write down them the reference number, or maybe even take

202
00:17:47.519 --> 00:17:50.240
the card out and take it to the desk. I

203
00:17:50.279 --> 00:17:57.920
can't one million percent remember, and Viney's had a nice

204
00:17:58.039 --> 00:18:04.079
drink Liphilites. And now so it's eleven thirty two. He

205
00:18:04.119 --> 00:18:07.799
hasn't known his breakfast chat. But he has also had

206
00:18:07.839 --> 00:18:13.200
a bit of a weird night because he's been up

207
00:18:13.240 --> 00:18:16.599
with me and then asleep, and then up, then asleep.

208
00:18:16.640 --> 00:18:22.240
So I went in because I needed to get a job,

209
00:18:24.519 --> 00:18:27.480
and this sent me for an interview at this care

210
00:18:27.519 --> 00:18:35.319
home residential home. I don't even know where. It was

211
00:18:35.960 --> 00:18:40.160
an idea at the time because I worked there, I

212
00:18:40.160 --> 00:18:44.759
couldn't tell you now. So I know I can still

213
00:18:44.799 --> 00:18:49.440
remember the outlay of that town, but I don't remember

214
00:18:49.480 --> 00:18:58.079
where that nurse in the place was. Hmmm, I think

215
00:18:58.200 --> 00:19:03.400
if wait now, I don't know. So I turned up

216
00:19:05.119 --> 00:19:08.640
straight away. The woman in the kitchen, she was my boss.

217
00:19:09.720 --> 00:19:15.759
She didn't seem to take a liking to me. But

218
00:19:15.839 --> 00:19:20.279
in all fairness, I don't think I was particularly likable,

219
00:19:23.799 --> 00:19:25.440
not in a bad way. I just had a bit

220
00:19:25.440 --> 00:19:31.519
of an attitude on me, I think a little bit.

221
00:19:33.160 --> 00:19:36.519
I didn't want to be there. I was willing to work,

222
00:19:36.799 --> 00:19:39.839
I was a hard worker, but I just I wasn't

223
00:19:39.960 --> 00:19:42.599
interested in the job. It wasn't like it was my

224
00:19:42.680 --> 00:19:48.319
life's ambition to peel potatoes, which I've been doing for

225
00:19:48.359 --> 00:19:51.119
the last two years. To be fair, it's quite good

226
00:19:51.119 --> 00:19:55.079
at it, and I remember one point she was actually

227
00:19:55.079 --> 00:19:56.640
trying to say, no, that's not how you do it.

228
00:19:57.319 --> 00:20:00.240
I got a lot of experienced doing this, baby. She said,

229
00:20:00.279 --> 00:20:04.839
don't call me baby. I said, sorry. So she didn't

230
00:20:05.000 --> 00:20:12.720
like me and everything I didn't see to do anything right.

231
00:20:13.559 --> 00:20:17.200
It's all it was is just prep mainly just preparing

232
00:20:17.279 --> 00:20:22.000
the food. She did the cooking. I prepare the food,

233
00:20:23.359 --> 00:20:26.319
and then I got given responsibility of making the porridge.

234
00:20:27.039 --> 00:20:30.200
Now I've talked about the porridge incident, I don't need

235
00:20:30.240 --> 00:20:35.079
to talk about it again. Possibly, but no matter what

236
00:20:35.200 --> 00:20:45.119
I did, the porridge was not up to standard. It

237
00:20:44.640 --> 00:20:49.039
got kicked every day for I was there for two weeks,

238
00:20:49.039 --> 00:20:52.079
so a two week trial, I think I maybe it

239
00:20:52.079 --> 00:20:54.839
was a week's trial. It seemed like about a year,

240
00:20:57.319 --> 00:21:02.519
and every day people would complain the porridge was too thick,

241
00:21:03.519 --> 00:21:09.799
or it was too thin, too runny, it was too sweet,

242
00:21:10.119 --> 00:21:18.039
too salty, and it was never Basically, we had probably

243
00:21:18.680 --> 00:21:23.359
I don't know, fifty people living there, maybe maybe more,

244
00:21:23.440 --> 00:21:30.960
maybe less. They're all like their porridge different. You can't,

245
00:21:31.640 --> 00:21:36.799
it can't. It's just an impossible situation. In that kind

246
00:21:36.799 --> 00:21:39.039
of situation, they have to add their own sugar on

247
00:21:39.079 --> 00:21:41.240
their own salt. Don't they to make it how they

248
00:21:41.240 --> 00:21:44.680
want it to taste? Because I can't make one that's

249
00:21:46.279 --> 00:21:51.599
going to make everyone happy. So that got a bit frustrating.

250
00:21:51.680 --> 00:21:59.319
And back then I wasn't as amenable to criticism as

251
00:21:59.359 --> 00:22:02.960
perhaps I now. I'm not saying amenable now, but I

252
00:22:03.000 --> 00:22:09.880
was a little bit more reactive, So I was having

253
00:22:09.960 --> 00:22:15.079
arguments with people about it and just telling them what

254
00:22:15.119 --> 00:22:21.039
I thought. I said, just this is ridiculous. The whole

255
00:22:21.039 --> 00:22:24.319
situation was ridiculous. I mean, I can't I can't believe everyone.

256
00:22:26.039 --> 00:22:29.880
I think. I went into the into the where they

257
00:22:29.920 --> 00:22:35.319
all sat and ate, and I started shouting. I was like,

258
00:22:36.119 --> 00:22:39.400
you come and everyone, come in and cook your own porridge.

259
00:22:39.799 --> 00:22:45.000
And I got told off for that. The thing is,

260
00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:47.079
when I went there, I always had, you know, a

261
00:22:47.079 --> 00:22:51.359
bit a lot of respect for elderly people because because

262
00:22:51.400 --> 00:22:56.200
of how close I was to mynn. I just I

263
00:22:56.240 --> 00:23:05.359
guess I just automatically had this questionable respect I guess

264
00:23:05.519 --> 00:23:08.480
to elderly people because my name has always been old.

265
00:23:08.599 --> 00:23:11.720
When she's not around anymore. But I'm not saying she

266
00:23:11.799 --> 00:23:16.319
was born old, but ever since I've known her, ever

267
00:23:16.359 --> 00:23:22.480
since the age of seven, she's probably in her sixties

268
00:23:22.519 --> 00:23:35.519
then seven seventeen, twenty seven, thirty seven, forty seven. No, yeah,

269
00:23:35.599 --> 00:23:40.920
she's well, I know she's probably it's probably about my age.

270
00:23:42.039 --> 00:23:48.240
But anyway, it just didn't feel right that I was

271
00:23:48.359 --> 00:23:52.279
being I mean, some people are coming in shouting at me.

272
00:23:53.839 --> 00:23:55.680
Why are you shouting at me? You're old? You're supposed

273
00:23:55.680 --> 00:24:00.759
to be nice. I didn't realize that being old doesn't

274
00:24:01.119 --> 00:24:04.160
it doesn't mean anything, just doesn't mean someone's old. They're

275
00:24:04.160 --> 00:24:06.839
going to be like my name just because they were

276
00:24:06.880 --> 00:24:09.680
saying age, it's my name. At this point, I was

277
00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:19.279
what seventeen my name probably getting onto seventy at this point.

278
00:24:20.079 --> 00:24:24.119
She passed away when she was ninety five, I think

279
00:24:25.039 --> 00:24:29.000
ninety six, and that was ten years ago when I

280
00:24:29.039 --> 00:24:36.319
was forty forty four. So I can't work it out

281
00:24:36.559 --> 00:24:41.160
how old she'd have been when I was seventeen. You

282
00:24:41.240 --> 00:24:44.880
might be able to I can't. Forty four, thirty four,

283
00:24:45.000 --> 00:24:58.200
twenty four, So ninety eighty, seventy six, eight nine, ten, seven,

284
00:24:58.839 --> 00:25:04.480
sixty nine, so it makes sense about sixty nine, maybe

285
00:25:04.519 --> 00:25:10.720
sixty sixty nine seventy roughly, and she was seventeen year old.

286
00:25:10.759 --> 00:25:15.039
That's old it was to me. I mean, I realized

287
00:25:15.079 --> 00:25:19.000
now that sixty nine is very very young. I keep

288
00:25:19.039 --> 00:25:23.119
saying it to myself. Maybe it would come true. And

289
00:25:28.640 --> 00:25:30.519
I wasn't sure what to do with that job because

290
00:25:30.519 --> 00:25:32.960
it wasn't going well. And then there was an added

291
00:25:33.079 --> 00:25:40.880
element now when my step mom kind of when the

292
00:25:40.920 --> 00:25:43.759
family broke up. Let's say, and I went and lived

293
00:25:43.839 --> 00:25:49.039
with my step mom, my little brother, and my step

294
00:25:49.119 --> 00:25:52.559
mom's mom. I was sleeping on a look of camper

295
00:25:52.559 --> 00:25:59.240
bed in the living room for about blind me. It

296
00:25:59.319 --> 00:26:07.920
was nearly year, maybe ten months, yeah, nearly a year actually.

297
00:26:08.519 --> 00:26:13.680
So during that period she dated a couple of people,

298
00:26:14.319 --> 00:26:16.880
and she dated one particular person that had a motorbike,

299
00:26:18.359 --> 00:26:24.880
and I wasn't a big fan of him. I probably

300
00:26:24.960 --> 00:26:26.559
wasn't going to be a big fan of anyone that

301
00:26:26.599 --> 00:26:29.440
she was dating, to be honest, but it was not

302
00:26:29.640 --> 00:26:38.559
really any of my business. Well after she left and

303
00:26:38.680 --> 00:26:43.240
moved away and ended up, you know, starting a new

304
00:26:43.519 --> 00:26:49.640
life and that which was nineteen it was, yeah, just

305
00:26:49.680 --> 00:26:54.319
before I moved into the chip shop flat above the

306
00:26:54.359 --> 00:26:57.000
chip shop. That's when she moved. So that's when I

307
00:26:57.000 --> 00:27:03.960
didn't have anywhere to live. So you know, this all happened.

308
00:27:05.799 --> 00:27:13.200
That man on the motorbike was coming into the residential

309
00:27:13.240 --> 00:27:18.319
home every single morning to see the woman that was

310
00:27:18.359 --> 00:27:28.480
my boss because she was his not his actual mother,

311
00:27:28.720 --> 00:27:32.839
but like a mother to him, which is kind of ironic. Really,

312
00:27:33.519 --> 00:27:39.599
now I've missed a little bit out. This is going

313
00:27:39.640 --> 00:27:46.359
back another year. So the previous year after my stepmom,

314
00:27:46.400 --> 00:27:50.240
who I classed as my mom had moved away and

315
00:27:50.279 --> 00:27:52.319
I didn't really see her again after that. I had

316
00:27:52.359 --> 00:27:59.519
no regular contact since. And I was in a nightclub.

317
00:28:03.599 --> 00:28:09.000
I guess I was probably seventeen early setting on at

318
00:28:09.079 --> 00:28:12.359
late sixteen, so I don't know. It's hard to keep track,

319
00:28:12.440 --> 00:28:14.400
but I don't know. I was living above the chip

320
00:28:14.400 --> 00:28:17.440
shops during that year that I was living up there.

321
00:28:18.839 --> 00:28:20.680
I was in a nightclub with one of my friends,

322
00:28:21.519 --> 00:28:27.160
and this bloke, the motorblike bloke who used to date

323
00:28:27.200 --> 00:28:31.079
my step mom for a little while, came up to

324
00:28:31.119 --> 00:28:35.640
me and he whispered something in my ear. I can't

325
00:28:35.640 --> 00:28:38.079
tell you what it was you whispered. I can tell

326
00:28:38.079 --> 00:28:45.200
you part of the sentence. The first bit was I.

327
00:28:45.279 --> 00:28:49.359
That was the first word, and then there was another word,

328
00:28:49.519 --> 00:28:54.519
and then the last two words was your mum. He

329
00:28:54.559 --> 00:29:03.759
giggled and walked away. Now wasn't the nicest thing anyone

330
00:29:03.759 --> 00:29:12.480
could have done, to be honest, and even a lot

331
00:29:12.480 --> 00:29:15.079
older than me, a lot bigger, I just, I just

332
00:29:15.400 --> 00:29:17.799
it was difficult what to do with in that situation

333
00:29:17.839 --> 00:29:19.640
because I was still a kid. I was a teenager,

334
00:29:20.039 --> 00:29:24.960
and he was twenty six, twenty seven, twenty five, I

335
00:29:25.000 --> 00:29:33.440
don't know. Three times bigger than me. And then he's

336
00:29:33.440 --> 00:29:36.359
in there coming in. So a year later, he's in

337
00:29:36.400 --> 00:29:41.279
this place every day walking in. Told her how wonderful

338
00:29:41.279 --> 00:29:44.160
his mumm is, even though she's like she'say, his actual mum,

339
00:29:44.440 --> 00:29:47.200
which is a similar situation to me really because my

340
00:29:47.319 --> 00:29:51.960
mum wasn't my mum e but really not biologically. And

341
00:29:52.319 --> 00:29:55.799
I could see the irony in that to see how

342
00:29:55.880 --> 00:29:59.079
close he was to her and how important she was

343
00:29:59.119 --> 00:30:04.200
to him. Yeah, he wasn't able to see that, you know,

344
00:30:04.880 --> 00:30:07.839
and maybe he just didn't need forgotten it said it,

345
00:30:08.599 --> 00:30:14.880
but I hadn't. And the first he wasn't. I think

346
00:30:14.960 --> 00:30:16.559
it was he didn't come in the first day, but

347
00:30:16.559 --> 00:30:20.480
I think the second day came in and that was

348
00:30:20.559 --> 00:30:24.279
me done. That was like, nah, I stuck it. But

349
00:30:24.400 --> 00:30:29.400
I thought, I don't want to be here now if that,

350
00:30:33.359 --> 00:30:35.599
And I think I did say what's that idiot doing there?

351
00:30:36.640 --> 00:30:45.359
And she said that's my Sundays and he just just

352
00:30:45.400 --> 00:30:47.119
I let him know that I didn't want him. I

353
00:30:47.160 --> 00:30:49.640
didn't want to know him. But it was really weird,

354
00:30:49.640 --> 00:30:57.519
like kick coming in like really and yeah, I had

355
00:30:57.559 --> 00:31:00.319
some weird thoughts back then. So that wasn't good. But

356
00:31:00.480 --> 00:31:05.839
everything worked out and I got sacked. Everything worked that well.

357
00:31:05.880 --> 00:31:09.759
I got sacked. Basically my trial ended and he said,

358
00:31:11.440 --> 00:31:13.920
you know you're not you know you haven't passed a trial.

359
00:31:14.000 --> 00:31:19.079
I said, yeah, good. The only reason I stayed for

360
00:31:19.160 --> 00:31:21.920
the whole trial because of my dad, so I promised

361
00:31:21.960 --> 00:31:26.640
I would. I wouldn't have lasted probably two hours there,

362
00:31:27.039 --> 00:31:29.359
if it had just been me on my own. I

363
00:31:29.400 --> 00:31:32.200
wouldn't put up with that stuff because I was living

364
00:31:32.200 --> 00:31:34.759
with my dad. And when I told my only two

365
00:31:34.799 --> 00:31:38.240
week trial, like, just promise me, you'll stick it out

366
00:31:38.240 --> 00:31:44.160
for the trial, okay, okay, so I I you know,

367
00:31:44.279 --> 00:31:50.079
So I left there. My dad wasn't massively happy, but

368
00:31:50.599 --> 00:31:54.240
I managed to get another job within about a week,

369
00:31:55.160 --> 00:31:58.960
working at the co op. Now I can't remember why

370
00:31:59.000 --> 00:32:02.359
I'm talking. Oh yes, it's about movies, isn't it. So

371
00:32:02.440 --> 00:32:05.039
I started working at the co op, which is if

372
00:32:05.079 --> 00:32:07.839
you don't know what it is, it is like a

373
00:32:09.319 --> 00:32:14.559
it's a supermarket. It's big in the UK when England anyway,

374
00:32:14.559 --> 00:32:17.240
I don't know about other parts of the country or

375
00:32:17.279 --> 00:32:22.480
other parts of the land mass of which I live.

376
00:32:26.839 --> 00:32:28.440
And I worked in this co op and it was

377
00:32:28.480 --> 00:32:38.160
a small one. It was hm, I'd say it probably

378
00:32:38.200 --> 00:32:40.960
wasn't much maybe a little bit bigger than the average

379
00:32:41.000 --> 00:32:45.720
small shop, you know, probably a little bit bigger. And

380
00:32:45.720 --> 00:32:48.880
there was space around the back for deliveries. In fact,

381
00:32:48.880 --> 00:32:51.640
if they'd have removed all that, they could have had

382
00:32:51.680 --> 00:32:53.759
a much bigger shop, but they would have had to

383
00:32:53.839 --> 00:32:56.759
delivered from the front. So they had a storage for

384
00:32:56.920 --> 00:33:00.480
palettes and stuff. So it was a professional set up.

385
00:33:03.880 --> 00:33:09.960
And I started working there, I think it was, but

386
00:33:10.079 --> 00:33:13.839
within a week of stopping other place. I think it's

387
00:33:13.880 --> 00:33:24.400
like April time, nineteen eighty eight, and I didn't love it.

388
00:33:26.880 --> 00:33:30.599
Be that would be kind of the like the stamp

389
00:33:30.680 --> 00:33:35.400
line or the headline or the standard you know, response

390
00:33:35.480 --> 00:33:38.960
to pretty much every job I've ever had is I

391
00:33:39.000 --> 00:33:44.799
didn't really love it. This can't say I particularly liked

392
00:33:44.839 --> 00:33:49.000
any job I did. Maybe a couple I didn't mind

393
00:33:49.039 --> 00:33:57.400
too much, But you know, I've had what fifty sixty jobs. Yeah,

394
00:33:57.759 --> 00:34:03.559
there was times I quite liked working in insurance. I

395
00:34:03.720 --> 00:34:06.640
like being good at something, but I didn't like doing

396
00:34:06.640 --> 00:34:11.480
the thing I was good at, so selling car insurance

397
00:34:11.519 --> 00:34:14.400
on the phone, I didn't like doing it, but I

398
00:34:14.519 --> 00:34:17.119
enjoyed being the second best out of two hundred and

399
00:34:17.159 --> 00:34:22.920
fifty people that was nice, but the actual job itself.

400
00:34:24.639 --> 00:34:26.760
It was nice to see me myself on the leader

401
00:34:26.800 --> 00:34:30.960
board and sometimes the top salesperson of the week or

402
00:34:30.960 --> 00:34:33.960
the month, sometimes the second. It was all, you know.

403
00:34:34.039 --> 00:34:37.360
It was always like second or first, usually second, to

404
00:34:37.400 --> 00:34:40.079
be honest. So I could have just bragged and said first,

405
00:34:40.119 --> 00:34:48.760
you'd never know. But unfortunately, yeah, someone else was first

406
00:34:48.840 --> 00:34:52.840
most of the time because it was much better than me.

407
00:34:53.760 --> 00:35:00.280
It's as simple as that, wasn't it. Cody Cody, I

408
00:35:00.320 --> 00:35:01.360
think it's Cody's name.

409
00:35:01.440 --> 00:35:01.480
Was.

410
00:35:02.000 --> 00:35:06.079
It was just better than me. That's simple. So but

411
00:35:07.239 --> 00:35:09.159
it was still nice to be, you know, one of

412
00:35:09.159 --> 00:35:17.119
the best. But I didn't enjoy doing that kind of work.

413
00:35:17.199 --> 00:35:19.440
The only the only nice figure about it is perhaps

414
00:35:19.519 --> 00:35:21.639
being around people, and there was a bit of a

415
00:35:21.679 --> 00:35:27.599
social life, and it I kind of got a little

416
00:35:27.639 --> 00:35:31.719
bit of respect, I think because of how well I

417
00:35:31.800 --> 00:35:34.559
was doing. Maybe I don't know, So it was this

418
00:35:34.960 --> 00:35:41.599
partly okay hm hmm. But anyway, I get this job

419
00:35:41.639 --> 00:35:47.920
in the in the co op, really Vinny. They give

420
00:35:48.000 --> 00:35:52.280
me this horrible brown jacket when I'll go first go

421
00:35:52.400 --> 00:35:54.599
in there. So I've got trousers and a shirt and

422
00:35:54.639 --> 00:36:02.280
a tie, and they give me this brown melly. It

423
00:36:02.320 --> 00:36:06.679
had a weird smell. It wasn't smelly as in covered

424
00:36:06.719 --> 00:36:10.239
in dog pooh or anything like that. It was just smelly.

425
00:36:10.360 --> 00:36:13.039
It just had a weird smell. And I didn't like

426
00:36:13.119 --> 00:36:16.159
that because I didn't want customers coming in thinking that

427
00:36:16.159 --> 00:36:21.159
that was me. Because I was fairly hygienic back then.

428
00:36:23.360 --> 00:36:25.440
I'm not saying i'm not now, but I was proper,

429
00:36:26.079 --> 00:36:30.639
you know, because I hoped to be able to have

430
00:36:30.719 --> 00:36:35.000
a girlfriend one day, so I knew I needed to

431
00:36:35.039 --> 00:36:38.199
sort of smell nice and look presentable.

432
00:36:42.920 --> 00:36:43.400
I like.

433
00:36:43.719 --> 00:36:48.760
Now, so I'm in there, they give me this, and

434
00:36:48.800 --> 00:36:51.920
it's too tight, bearing in mind a way like maybe

435
00:36:53.679 --> 00:36:59.679
or nine stone or something, some skinny, really skinny, and

436
00:36:59.719 --> 00:37:03.880
this and they give me a jacket that's too small

437
00:37:03.960 --> 00:37:09.679
for me if I'm constricted. Now, it's very hard for

438
00:37:09.880 --> 00:37:16.840
someone a male being nine stone to where something that's

439
00:37:16.880 --> 00:37:21.920
constrictive because I was tiny. It was really really really

440
00:37:22.000 --> 00:37:27.079
really little. I mean I wouldn't be able to even

441
00:37:27.400 --> 00:37:30.920
get my arms through it. Now it'd be you know,

442
00:37:31.440 --> 00:37:38.239
it would it would be ridiculous. But I struggled even then. Eventually.

443
00:37:40.000 --> 00:37:45.079
Sorry about the noise. If you can hear the the

444
00:37:45.159 --> 00:37:50.559
screaming people in the garden. I managed to get a

445
00:37:50.559 --> 00:37:53.480
bigger one in the end, but then it was too big.

446
00:37:54.400 --> 00:37:57.840
I couldn't win the problem with I got, I'm broader

447
00:37:57.880 --> 00:38:03.119
than I am long, So I'm sure I realized that

448
00:38:03.239 --> 00:38:05.800
as I put weight on, I actually had the bone

449
00:38:05.840 --> 00:38:08.920
structure to have the weight, and then realize it back then,

450
00:38:09.519 --> 00:38:14.599
so I've got I'm not and I said, I don't

451
00:38:14.679 --> 00:38:19.559
have long arms. So it's quite hard for me to

452
00:38:19.599 --> 00:38:24.800
buy stuff now as well. If I buy some trousers,

453
00:38:25.360 --> 00:38:28.119
it's hard for me to buy trousers that are the

454
00:38:28.199 --> 00:38:31.239
right length. And when I buy something that fits my

455
00:38:31.320 --> 00:38:37.559
upper body because like XL or XXL whatever, usually the

456
00:38:38.000 --> 00:38:42.519
sleeves are too long because of my arm. My arms

457
00:38:42.519 --> 00:38:47.320
don't match my body like length wise, I'm more girthed

458
00:38:47.320 --> 00:38:56.880
than length as it were. And so I'm working in

459
00:38:56.920 --> 00:39:02.880
this shop. I remember getting in there and one of

460
00:39:02.880 --> 00:39:05.079
the things one of my main jobs to start with

461
00:39:05.360 --> 00:39:13.800
was to load the bread section, so to put the

462
00:39:13.800 --> 00:39:18.880
the bread and I suppose the cakes and all that

463
00:39:18.920 --> 00:39:22.280
stuff into the you know, the bread section, which was

464
00:39:22.320 --> 00:39:25.000
low down, which wasn't really an issue back then because

465
00:39:25.000 --> 00:39:36.599
I was able to bend down comfortably. And then other things,

466
00:39:36.639 --> 00:39:39.320
you know. I think when the deliveries came, had to

467
00:39:39.400 --> 00:39:42.480
kind of check everything off on the list from the palette,

468
00:39:42.519 --> 00:39:49.480
and then there was busy periods, especially kind of I

469
00:39:49.519 --> 00:39:51.719
think about half ten, and then at lunch time they

470
00:39:51.760 --> 00:39:56.320
seemed to get busy, so I there'd to be a

471
00:39:56.519 --> 00:40:00.639
separate till. Then there's two separate toils, the big tool

472
00:40:00.760 --> 00:40:03.360
or the front you know, on the main counter where

473
00:40:03.360 --> 00:40:05.519
all the cigarettes would be high end and the alcohol

474
00:40:05.519 --> 00:40:11.280
and all that stuff, and there was a shutter that

475
00:40:11.440 --> 00:40:15.199
for that section because it could only be they could

476
00:40:15.199 --> 00:40:19.920
only serve that stuff from half eleven in the morning

477
00:40:20.079 --> 00:40:24.920
till I think two o'clock in the afternoon, because that

478
00:40:25.039 --> 00:40:30.920
was the license in ours. I don't know if it

479
00:40:30.960 --> 00:40:35.239
was just the alcohol, and I don't think I was

480
00:40:35.280 --> 00:40:37.960
allowed to sell cigarettes. I wasn't allowed to sell alcohol

481
00:40:37.960 --> 00:40:41.559
anyway because I was only seventeen, so I had to

482
00:40:41.599 --> 00:40:46.480
get every time every time I wanted to get, So

483
00:40:46.480 --> 00:40:49.519
every time wanted alcohol, I had to ask permission for

484
00:40:49.559 --> 00:40:54.880
remembers staff to sell this alcohol. So I wasn't asking

485
00:40:55.239 --> 00:41:00.519
the customer's age, I wasn't asking my own because I

486
00:41:00.559 --> 00:41:02.519
knew what it was. But it was weird. I was

487
00:41:02.599 --> 00:41:06.840
kind of getting permission for myself rather than for them.

488
00:41:07.239 --> 00:41:11.800
And sometimes I'd had people come in that were younger

489
00:41:11.800 --> 00:41:14.960
than me, and I'd just deserve them if I could,

490
00:41:15.400 --> 00:41:18.840
because at that time I didn't like I wanted to

491
00:41:18.880 --> 00:41:22.280
be served, so it was hard. So if I saw

492
00:41:22.360 --> 00:41:25.719
someone that was able to get served, I'd always serve them.

493
00:41:25.800 --> 00:41:28.039
Then they could perhaps get me something in the future,

494
00:41:28.679 --> 00:41:30.280
you know, if I was out and I needed to

495
00:41:30.440 --> 00:41:33.000
get something from the shop, they'd go in and buy

496
00:41:33.000 --> 00:41:35.880
it for me. So that was that was quite good.

497
00:41:39.599 --> 00:41:43.559
I couldn't hear that. I don't know how loud that

498
00:41:43.719 --> 00:41:48.360
is on the microphone. I can't do anything about it.

499
00:41:51.519 --> 00:41:57.360
I suppose I could close the window. I'm just a

500
00:41:57.400 --> 00:42:00.440
bit a bit careful about closing the window when they're

501
00:42:00.440 --> 00:42:02.159
out there, because if they see me close the window,

502
00:42:02.159 --> 00:42:04.480
they might just up the volume, you know.

503
00:42:05.440 --> 00:42:05.920
So like.

504
00:42:09.079 --> 00:42:14.119
Anyway, so I'm in this shop, and one of my

505
00:42:14.199 --> 00:42:16.679
memories of this, there's two memories I got really of

506
00:42:16.800 --> 00:42:24.199
working there. One was every break time, not dinner lunch,

507
00:42:24.320 --> 00:42:30.039
but every morning break I would get a packet of biscuits,

508
00:42:30.280 --> 00:42:35.079
usually figure rolls, but there were nice figure roles, they weren't.

509
00:42:36.320 --> 00:42:38.199
I mean, I've never had a figure roll I didn't like,

510
00:42:38.239 --> 00:42:40.960
but there were specific ones I liked. They were more

511
00:42:41.039 --> 00:42:47.360
flat than sausage drawl, can't type, and a can of

512
00:42:47.400 --> 00:42:51.800
coke and I'd buy that. Usually i'd buy it before

513
00:42:51.920 --> 00:42:54.000
my break so I could just go in and eat it.

514
00:42:54.039 --> 00:42:56.719
So i'd buy it first in the morning and then

515
00:42:56.760 --> 00:43:00.719
i'd go and eat it, or I'd pay for it later,

516
00:43:00.800 --> 00:43:03.760
you know, whichever way worked out. And I go and

517
00:43:03.840 --> 00:43:08.280
have my break listen to the radio. It was like

518
00:43:08.360 --> 00:43:16.280
fifteen minutes because we had this little little room were

519
00:43:16.480 --> 00:43:22.679
sync with a little table about three chairs. I think, then,

520
00:43:22.760 --> 00:43:29.719
can it make a bit more nise please? Okay, it

521
00:43:29.760 --> 00:43:36.199
doesn't want to. And I don't know what else was

522
00:43:36.239 --> 00:43:39.760
in there, probably a coat rack. I think it was

523
00:43:39.800 --> 00:43:42.199
locked as well, so we have to use the code

524
00:43:42.239 --> 00:43:47.800
to get in and out. And it'd be a radio playing.

525
00:43:48.360 --> 00:43:52.199
And I just remember this particular time because you can

526
00:43:52.280 --> 00:43:56.159
actually check the timings the years by these two songs

527
00:43:56.840 --> 00:44:01.119
everywhere by Fleetwood Mac and Fast Car by Tracy Chapman.

528
00:44:02.840 --> 00:44:08.920
For some reason, those two songs kept playing, not for

529
00:44:09.000 --> 00:44:11.960
the duration of me working there, but like you know,

530
00:44:12.599 --> 00:44:16.039
regularly for a few weeks. Those two songs just seemed

531
00:44:16.039 --> 00:44:21.000
to be playing on the radio, usually both of them

532
00:44:21.039 --> 00:44:24.519
in that fifteen minute section. For some reason. It's kind

533
00:44:24.519 --> 00:44:28.119
of weird, and it might be a lie as well.

534
00:44:28.599 --> 00:44:36.280
It might be a lie, it may be true.

535
00:44:37.000 --> 00:44:40.880
And another memory is I would go home while I

536
00:44:41.000 --> 00:44:45.400
go back to my dad's during lunch because he lived

537
00:44:45.440 --> 00:44:48.079
just up the road, and I was borrowing the bicycle

538
00:44:48.480 --> 00:44:52.119
which I think my stepmum used to use, and it

539
00:44:52.199 --> 00:44:59.880
was a girl's bike. Did you just say girl's bike? Yeah?

540
00:45:00.199 --> 00:45:02.960
And there still are girls bikes you can buy. They

541
00:45:03.000 --> 00:45:07.280
still do exist, believe or not. I've had this conversation before.

542
00:45:07.519 --> 00:45:12.199
I don't understand, right, why are girls bikes so much

543
00:45:12.239 --> 00:45:21.519
more comfortable than men's bikes. I haven't got that crossbar

544
00:45:21.679 --> 00:45:24.639
thing that you have to like get your foot all

545
00:45:24.679 --> 00:45:33.079
the way over. I don't. It's like, why just a

546
00:45:33.159 --> 00:45:35.400
nice so you can get you she better put your

547
00:45:35.400 --> 00:45:40.559
foot over to the other pedal easily. Why does it

548
00:45:40.599 --> 00:45:44.199
have to be a struggle. So I like that bike,

549
00:45:44.400 --> 00:45:46.440
and it had a basket in the front, and the

550
00:45:46.519 --> 00:45:55.719
saddle was comfy, so all three things that my previous

551
00:45:55.760 --> 00:46:05.840
bike did not have a comfortable saddle. Before I had

552
00:46:05.840 --> 00:46:12.039
the saddle, it used to basically, it was quite intrusive

553
00:46:12.119 --> 00:46:20.800
at times, very spiky, very thin and difficult to get

554
00:46:20.840 --> 00:46:26.639
my leg over it. And it didn't have us like

555
00:46:26.719 --> 00:46:29.960
a basket at the front. I suppose the only other

556
00:46:29.960 --> 00:46:34.119
difference for this is it was pink. So I was

557
00:46:34.559 --> 00:46:37.480
going backwards and forwards, and it took about six minutes

558
00:46:38.480 --> 00:46:40.800
to get there and get back, well, to get there

559
00:46:40.960 --> 00:46:44.800
and you know, either side of the journey. So I

560
00:46:44.800 --> 00:46:49.880
would leave about seven minutes to the hour to get

561
00:46:49.880 --> 00:46:55.199
home to get to work, which wasn't you know, really ideal.

562
00:46:56.400 --> 00:47:00.000
But anyway, I'd go back, so i'd have forty minutes

563
00:47:00.039 --> 00:47:05.840
it's out of the hour, and I'd watch Neighbors on TV.

564
00:47:06.800 --> 00:47:11.199
I'd get myself a sandwich, maybe a cup of tea

565
00:47:11.239 --> 00:47:14.840
I don't remember, and then i'd go back. So it

566
00:47:14.960 --> 00:47:21.239
got me out of the place, which was nice. So

567
00:47:22.199 --> 00:47:34.840
how did I end up? I just closed the window

568
00:47:34.880 --> 00:47:40.320
because it was excessively loud. I hope that that will

569
00:47:41.920 --> 00:47:48.000
keep some of the noise out. Oh where was I? Okay,

570
00:47:48.199 --> 00:47:51.480
so I'm working in this shop. I'm trying to get

571
00:47:51.480 --> 00:47:55.400
back to the movie. Question. Wow, this is a long

572
00:47:55.440 --> 00:47:58.039
way round the streets, isn't it To get back to that.

573
00:48:02.000 --> 00:48:08.440
So what happened is I got on pretty well with

574
00:48:08.480 --> 00:48:13.960
the manager, or the manager is rather or the managers was, yeah.

575
00:48:13.840 --> 00:48:14.079
I was.

576
00:48:14.440 --> 00:48:21.119
I got weld with her, and she offered me to

577
00:48:21.280 --> 00:48:24.480
rent a room upstairs. Because she being a manager, she

578
00:48:24.599 --> 00:48:29.199
had the flat upstairs, so she offered me to rent

579
00:48:29.199 --> 00:48:33.599
me a room up there. And I think part of

580
00:48:33.639 --> 00:48:35.760
the reason was so that i'd be on time for work,

581
00:48:37.519 --> 00:48:40.239
so because i'd be late a little bit, I need

582
00:48:40.280 --> 00:48:43.679
a few minutes. But and I thought, yeah, it's quite

583
00:48:43.679 --> 00:48:45.599
good because then I can just go upstairs during my

584
00:48:45.679 --> 00:48:49.840
break and being with my dad was only ever temporary anyway,

585
00:48:49.960 --> 00:48:54.519
so it's just yeah, suited me, so I moved upstairs.

586
00:48:54.840 --> 00:48:58.239
It was quite good. Actually, at times she was a

587
00:48:58.239 --> 00:49:02.159
bit noisy because she was really into CBE radio, So

588
00:49:02.679 --> 00:49:08.239
all night all of hers.

589
00:49:09.639 --> 00:49:10.239
Over over.

590
00:49:12.280 --> 00:49:15.360
Do you copy? Do you copy all that stuff? Whatever?

591
00:49:15.440 --> 00:49:20.559
The CB radio thing is very loud, and I don't

592
00:49:20.599 --> 00:49:22.000
know how she managed to get up in the morning

593
00:49:22.000 --> 00:49:27.199
because she didn't seem to sleep. She was talking to men,

594
00:49:28.920 --> 00:49:35.079
very popular, and it was nice. She had a lovely

595
00:49:35.119 --> 00:49:39.920
living room kitchen. She'd cook on a Sunday and sometimes

596
00:49:39.920 --> 00:49:42.880
I'd have a meal, and it was quite nice. I

597
00:49:42.960 --> 00:49:44.679
was kind of left alone to do what I wanted,

598
00:49:44.760 --> 00:49:49.519
and I had my own TV in my room. I

599
00:49:49.559 --> 00:49:52.719
didn't really get involved in her life, but we gone, well,

600
00:49:53.719 --> 00:49:56.199
you know, we did got on all right, and i'd

601
00:49:56.199 --> 00:49:59.039
go she'd drive. She had a car, so she'd drive

602
00:49:59.079 --> 00:50:06.119
me to KFC sometimes, and she wanted she was wanted

603
00:50:06.159 --> 00:50:08.760
to get something to eat, so I'd go with her

604
00:50:08.840 --> 00:50:14.880
and get myself for something. Yeah, it was okay. And

605
00:50:17.039 --> 00:50:20.280
I made friends with some of her friends, and yeah,

606
00:50:20.440 --> 00:50:22.559
so it's okay. Anyway, I said that a lot. I

607
00:50:22.559 --> 00:50:27.679
haven't know so I'm at work. It's really good at

608
00:50:27.679 --> 00:50:34.599
singing as well. And I did stay friends with for

609
00:50:34.719 --> 00:50:37.679
quite a long time, even after what happens next happened.

610
00:50:39.239 --> 00:50:45.480
So it was weird because I'm at work. There's only

611
00:50:45.760 --> 00:50:55.920
me her one other person that was the manager who

612
00:50:56.000 --> 00:50:59.880
was like the assistant manager, but she didn't work full time,

613
00:51:00.440 --> 00:51:03.360
I don't think, and there was a couple of part

614
00:51:03.400 --> 00:51:06.599
time staff and me, so I was only I was

615
00:51:06.639 --> 00:51:09.920
the only full time staff member. And then the other

616
00:51:10.039 --> 00:51:13.559
lady who is the assistant manager. I think she did

617
00:51:13.719 --> 00:51:17.880
like by thirty hours a week or something. Because she

618
00:51:17.960 --> 00:51:20.679
was a grandparent. She was lovely she was thinking. Her

619
00:51:20.760 --> 00:51:24.639
name was Brenda, and she gave me a Michael Jackson album,

620
00:51:24.880 --> 00:51:29.159
The Bad Not Bad Thriller. She was lovely. I really

621
00:51:29.199 --> 00:51:33.920
liked her. So technically you could say this was quite

622
00:51:33.960 --> 00:51:37.840
a successful job because I got on well with the

623
00:51:37.880 --> 00:51:43.199
assistant manager. I became pretty good friends with the part

624
00:51:43.239 --> 00:51:45.800
time worker. We had a little bit of a conflict

625
00:51:45.800 --> 00:51:47.840
at the beginning, but that was just me, that's all.

626
00:51:48.119 --> 00:51:52.119
That's how I made friends, and then we became friends.

627
00:51:52.119 --> 00:51:54.280
And he was lucky, ye younger than me or something.

628
00:51:56.599 --> 00:51:59.760
And the manager I was living with her. So it

629
00:51:59.800 --> 00:52:04.480
was kind of quite a good set up, really, and

630
00:52:05.320 --> 00:52:12.519
my job was very secure if I wanted to stay there. Now.

631
00:52:12.559 --> 00:52:15.760
The area manager was called mister Cook. I don't know

632
00:52:15.760 --> 00:52:18.280
why I remember this, but it was like a troll.

633
00:52:18.360 --> 00:52:23.679
It was like I had to explain it, like something

634
00:52:23.719 --> 00:52:25.519
that lived under a bridge. It was like that.

635
00:52:27.000 --> 00:52:29.719
Just he talked like this, meaning.

636
00:52:31.480 --> 00:52:35.239
He didn't like me. Perhaps I shouldn't have told him

637
00:52:35.360 --> 00:52:37.840
what he sounded like and did an impression of him

638
00:52:37.880 --> 00:52:39.920
in front of him. Perhaps that's why I didn't like me.

639
00:52:41.039 --> 00:52:43.159
But that's why I did the impression, because he wasn't

640
00:52:43.280 --> 00:52:48.039
very friendly, and I think he all, but said pretty much,

641
00:52:48.119 --> 00:52:50.000
the only reason I was still there is because the

642
00:52:50.079 --> 00:52:54.440
manager wanted me to stay, and I think she only

643
00:52:54.440 --> 00:52:57.360
wanted me to stay because she was getting rent, so

644
00:52:57.679 --> 00:53:00.360
you know, it was kind of one of those. But

645
00:53:00.440 --> 00:53:06.719
he said no, he wasn't pleased with my progression. So

646
00:53:06.840 --> 00:53:09.320
even though the manager wanted me to stay, she was

647
00:53:09.400 --> 00:53:11.960
clearly not giving me a very good appraise. I wish you.

648
00:53:14.800 --> 00:53:14.880
So.

649
00:53:15.960 --> 00:53:17.480
Plus, I had a bit of an attitude on me

650
00:53:17.559 --> 00:53:20.840
as well back then. Hard to believe, but I was

651
00:53:21.039 --> 00:53:25.800
a little bit rude. By rude, I don't mean rude, rude,

652
00:53:25.880 --> 00:53:30.440
but I didn't play the game. I didn't suck up

653
00:53:30.480 --> 00:53:37.239
to anyone ever. At any point. I was an extra

654
00:53:37.960 --> 00:53:43.159
polite to people just because they were in a higher position,

655
00:53:44.400 --> 00:53:48.360
because at that time, everybody was at a higher position than me.

656
00:53:49.039 --> 00:53:52.159
In pretty much every job I've ever had, I've never

657
00:53:52.199 --> 00:53:57.480
been in a high position. So I just treat people

658
00:53:57.480 --> 00:54:00.199
the same way as I treat anyone else. I like

659
00:54:00.280 --> 00:54:04.960
to think, you know, fairly respectfully, But as soon as

660
00:54:05.000 --> 00:54:11.119
they don't with me back then, anyway, it would be

661
00:54:11.880 --> 00:54:15.360
gloves are off. So you know, if I was when

662
00:54:15.400 --> 00:54:22.920
I was fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty twenty one,

663
00:54:23.039 --> 00:54:26.639
twenty two, twenty three, twenty four, twenty five, twenty six,

664
00:54:26.760 --> 00:54:30.679
twenty seven, twenty eight, twenty nine, thirty thirty one, thirty two,

665
00:54:31.639 --> 00:54:34.239
thirty three, thirty four, thirty five, thirty six, thirty seven,

666
00:54:34.440 --> 00:54:42.360
thirty eight, thirty nine, forty pretty much until I was

667
00:54:42.400 --> 00:54:46.480
no longer working. Once I stopped working, I was a

668
00:54:46.519 --> 00:54:56.480
much better employee, much more patient and hmm wow. But

669
00:54:56.519 --> 00:54:59.519
if people were nice to me, I'd be nice to them.

670
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:02.480
As soon as someone kind of turned and they were rude,

671
00:55:02.480 --> 00:55:07.800
I'd like, okay. And I think one of the hardest

672
00:55:07.800 --> 00:55:14.800
things are always as I got older, my bosses became younger.

673
00:55:16.159 --> 00:55:20.320
So I'm in my thirties mid thirties and my boss

674
00:55:20.400 --> 00:55:23.840
was like twenty one, which wasn't an issue because I

675
00:55:23.880 --> 00:55:26.000
really liked him. He was one of the nicest people

676
00:55:26.039 --> 00:55:30.039
I've ever known. But I had a previous boss who

677
00:55:30.119 --> 00:55:33.719
was like twenty two when I was thirty one. Okain,

678
00:55:33.840 --> 00:55:37.159
a nice bloke, but he was just it didn't seem

679
00:55:37.199 --> 00:55:40.360
to know what he was doing. His answer to any

680
00:55:40.440 --> 00:55:47.440
question was what do you think the answer is? It's like, okay,

681
00:55:48.079 --> 00:55:51.760
That's not a way to answer a question, what do

682
00:55:51.880 --> 00:55:58.440
you think? The answer is, whow there's a moth inside

683
00:55:58.480 --> 00:56:01.880
here since this morning. I don't know how I got in,

684
00:56:02.000 --> 00:56:04.679
probably through the window because the window was open. That's

685
00:56:04.719 --> 00:56:08.840
a weird question, wasn't it seems to be interested in

686
00:56:08.880 --> 00:56:14.880
my shirt? But my shirts are clean that moths, don't

687
00:56:17.039 --> 00:56:18.519
you know what I mean. It's only been on the

688
00:56:18.559 --> 00:56:21.480
hangar for a few years. I don't think the moth

689
00:56:21.480 --> 00:56:27.800
would have got to it. So, yeah, I lived in

690
00:56:27.840 --> 00:56:32.840
this place upstairs. So I go to work one day.

691
00:56:33.280 --> 00:56:42.159
I'm just in there, just a normal day. Yeah, I

692
00:56:42.159 --> 00:56:47.000
remember the So I'm standing there. Two people come in,

693
00:56:47.119 --> 00:56:50.000
a man and a woman and stand at the counter,

694
00:56:52.280 --> 00:56:57.239
the assistant manager. So the manager's standing beyond the counter.

695
00:56:59.199 --> 00:57:02.480
Who I lived with if the assistant manager walks up

696
00:57:02.519 --> 00:57:05.800
to the door, closes it and locks it and puts

697
00:57:05.880 --> 00:57:09.760
closed sign up and tells me to go into the

698
00:57:09.840 --> 00:57:14.960
door into the staff room. And I'm walking in there

699
00:57:15.000 --> 00:57:18.440
and say, but I've got my my my figure. I

700
00:57:18.559 --> 00:57:21.400
was in my can of coke and she said this

701
00:57:21.440 --> 00:57:26.119
isn't a break. I said, okay, We're just going into

702
00:57:26.159 --> 00:57:28.039
the other room. So I went into the storage room

703
00:57:28.519 --> 00:57:32.480
into the staff room. I had no idea what was

704
00:57:32.519 --> 00:57:37.480
going on. It's like I asked her and she wouldn't

705
00:57:37.519 --> 00:57:44.280
tell me. And then I was in there for about

706
00:57:46.159 --> 00:57:54.639
an hour, maybe less, but about an hour, and then

707
00:57:54.760 --> 00:57:58.639
the what's the name that the assistant manager came in

708
00:58:02.480 --> 00:58:04.760
if I think that, yeah, maybe someone else, but I

709
00:58:04.800 --> 00:58:07.920
think she came in and she said what happened? Told

710
00:58:07.960 --> 00:58:14.760
me what happened. So the manager, the people at the

711
00:58:14.800 --> 00:58:24.239
front desk were underclover undercover police, and the co op

712
00:58:25.000 --> 00:58:28.800
thought that someone was stealing money, so they set up

713
00:58:28.840 --> 00:58:31.920
the manager. They set her up. They basically gave us

714
00:58:31.960 --> 00:58:37.639
some marked money and when they came back in, they

715
00:58:37.679 --> 00:58:39.679
searched her and she had that money in her pocket

716
00:58:42.159 --> 00:58:48.199
as like twenty could or something. And as I said earlier,

717
00:58:48.199 --> 00:58:50.440
I still stayed friends with her. I was living with her,

718
00:58:51.480 --> 00:58:54.440
and I still stayed friends with her for years afterwards. So,

719
00:58:55.280 --> 00:58:59.119
you know, he made a mistake and she lost a

720
00:58:59.239 --> 00:59:07.039
job or the spot, which was not good for me.

721
00:59:07.360 --> 00:59:09.199
It wasn't good for her either, to be honest. I

722
00:59:09.239 --> 00:59:20.559
mean she did get another job, but it was I

723
00:59:20.679 --> 00:59:23.400
was kind of with her during the process, during the

724
00:59:23.480 --> 00:59:27.519
whole because I think it went to court quite quickly,

725
00:59:27.679 --> 00:59:31.679
and she I think she ended up getting suspended sentence

726
00:59:31.800 --> 00:59:37.000
or something like that. They couldn't prove previous money going

727
00:59:37.039 --> 00:59:39.519
missing or anything like that, so all they had proof

728
00:59:39.559 --> 00:59:46.079
of was just that one to twenty pound note the

729
00:59:46.119 --> 00:59:52.039
manager when it's the assistant. I said to the assistant manager,

730
00:59:53.079 --> 00:59:56.639
are you now going to be the new manager? And

731
00:59:56.679 --> 01:00:01.000
she said no, I'm I don't do enough hours. I

732
01:00:01.000 --> 01:00:05.599
couldn't do that. I said, oh, and she's shouting. Straight away.

733
01:00:05.679 --> 01:00:07.320
She came back and me said, it's not going to

734
01:00:07.320 --> 01:00:10.559
be you either. I said I don't know. He said no,

735
01:00:10.599 --> 01:00:11.960
you didn't. You thought it was going to be you.

736
01:00:12.320 --> 01:00:14.360
I said no, I didn't. He said, yes she did.

737
01:00:14.360 --> 01:00:16.000
I could see the look on your face. You started

738
01:00:16.000 --> 01:00:18.400
looking around all the cakes she could buy with the

739
01:00:18.440 --> 01:00:23.280
extra money. I was like, wow, she could read my mind,

740
01:00:24.400 --> 01:00:26.360
because back then that's what I would do with money.

741
01:00:27.840 --> 01:00:32.760
I pay Rise more cakes and biscuits. That's my mentality

742
01:00:32.800 --> 01:00:40.320
back then. It hasn't changed that much anyway. What happened

743
01:00:40.360 --> 01:00:45.760
next wasn't so good because we got a new lady. Well,

744
01:00:45.960 --> 01:00:47.840
it was just that they happened to be a fit

745
01:00:48.320 --> 01:00:53.800
and we got we got someone nice, came in for

746
01:00:53.840 --> 01:00:56.639
a week or two, and then we had this woman

747
01:00:57.119 --> 01:01:01.519
comes along and she didn't like me h for some reason,

748
01:01:02.599 --> 01:01:04.000
and we didn't get.

749
01:01:03.880 --> 01:01:18.440
On, and yeah, we really didn't get on, and in

750
01:01:18.480 --> 01:01:19.000
the end.

751
01:01:19.239 --> 01:01:27.719
I didn't like her so much. I left. But in

752
01:01:27.760 --> 01:01:33.440
the meantime I was still living upstairs, so I think

753
01:01:33.760 --> 01:01:36.639
what's the name the manager who went upstairs. They had

754
01:01:36.679 --> 01:01:44.320
to give her three months notice to move out, eviction notice.

755
01:01:44.800 --> 01:01:47.920
So that was the very first time I'd ever been evicted.

756
01:01:48.800 --> 01:01:51.679
So that wasn't me specifically, but it was I was

757
01:01:51.760 --> 01:01:53.679
part of the eviction because I was homeless as well

758
01:01:53.719 --> 01:01:59.760
when she got kicked out. So that was during this

759
01:02:00.559 --> 01:02:05.599
I think we I started working. So I moved in

760
01:02:05.639 --> 01:02:17.880
there probably June maybe, and I moved out possibly October,

761
01:02:20.079 --> 01:02:23.920
maybe November, because at that point I'd already got a

762
01:02:23.960 --> 01:02:27.760
new job in the September, so I had to wait

763
01:02:27.800 --> 01:02:30.079
till I was eighteen years old before I applied for

764
01:02:30.159 --> 01:02:35.440
this factory job. And I was working there and I'd

765
01:02:35.480 --> 01:02:37.760
been there for at least a month maybe two before

766
01:02:37.800 --> 01:02:44.000
I moved out. So yeah, so this this whole kind

767
01:02:44.039 --> 01:02:54.760
of police thing must have happened July, August, September something

768
01:02:54.840 --> 01:02:59.760
like that. Anyway, in the meantime, I think it was

769
01:02:59.800 --> 01:03:03.199
before four, before she and while she was still working there,

770
01:03:04.559 --> 01:03:08.599
I was sitting in my room. I had a TV on.

771
01:03:08.679 --> 01:03:10.599
I had a little black and white port or TV,

772
01:03:12.719 --> 01:03:15.239
just watching TV. You know, it was three channels back then.

773
01:03:17.119 --> 01:03:21.559
No four channels sorry, BBC one, BBC two, ITV and

774
01:03:21.679 --> 01:03:30.920
Channel four. And it was either Saturday afternoon or a

775
01:03:31.039 --> 01:03:34.159
Sunday afternoon. I couldn't tell you which one it was

776
01:03:34.159 --> 01:03:38.159
one of them. And I'm just sitting up in a

777
01:03:38.159 --> 01:03:43.119
bed watching a TV and this movie is on and

778
01:03:43.159 --> 01:03:46.440
I've never seen it before. I didn't realize it was

779
01:03:46.440 --> 01:03:48.199
in black and white because of TV. It was in

780
01:03:48.280 --> 01:03:56.519
black and white. And before anyone says, how old are you?

781
01:03:56.519 --> 01:03:59.079
You're seventeen years old and you're watching a black and

782
01:03:59.079 --> 01:04:02.679
white TV. No, we did have color TVs back then.

783
01:04:02.719 --> 01:04:06.519
I just couldn't afford one. So I had a black

784
01:04:06.559 --> 01:04:12.800
and white TV and I or maybe I could afford one.

785
01:04:12.840 --> 01:04:15.400
I don't know, probably could have done. I don't know

786
01:04:15.400 --> 01:04:20.199
how much they was back when. I know I was

787
01:04:20.199 --> 01:04:26.840
earning sixty pounds a week from working in the co op,

788
01:04:28.519 --> 01:04:37.000
or sixty two pounds something like that. Yeah, this is

789
01:04:37.039 --> 01:04:40.079
weird because when I was fifteen, I was earning sixty

790
01:04:40.079 --> 01:04:44.280
pounds a week working in the chip shop when I

791
01:04:44.320 --> 01:04:48.679
was fifteen for the first few months up till September,

792
01:04:48.719 --> 01:04:52.559
so from like April to September, I was getting sixty

793
01:04:52.559 --> 01:04:55.880
pounds a week. Then I went onto the Hitts scheme,

794
01:04:55.920 --> 01:04:58.719
which is the youth training scheme, and my money went

795
01:04:58.760 --> 01:05:02.519
down to twenty seven pound thirty a week for the

796
01:05:02.559 --> 01:05:06.559
first year. Second year was thirty five pounds a week.

797
01:05:08.639 --> 01:05:10.599
So when I started working a co op and I

798
01:05:10.639 --> 01:05:13.239
was getting sixty pound a week, it was like a

799
01:05:13.320 --> 01:05:18.760
huge amount of money. Again, still not very a good

800
01:05:18.760 --> 01:05:22.440
amount of money, but you know, it was okay. I

801
01:05:22.440 --> 01:05:24.880
was probably paying twenty five pounds a week for rent

802
01:05:28.239 --> 01:05:30.679
something like that. I can't i'd have to, I don't know,

803
01:05:31.400 --> 01:05:34.800
something like that. Probably, I think the average room was

804
01:05:34.840 --> 01:05:42.960
about twenty five thirty pounds a week and then, but

805
01:05:43.000 --> 01:05:47.280
I didn't have to pay any rent once my what's

806
01:05:47.320 --> 01:05:52.400
the name my landlady, Well she wasn't really my landlady antmore,

807
01:05:52.480 --> 01:05:54.760
was she because she was being a victed but and

808
01:05:54.800 --> 01:05:59.639
she didn't work for the company anymore. Once she lost

809
01:05:59.639 --> 01:06:04.519
her job, she didn't have to pay any rent because

810
01:06:04.559 --> 01:06:06.880
she was I think I think she got the flat

811
01:06:06.920 --> 01:06:09.599
with the job, but I think she was also paying rent.

812
01:06:09.639 --> 01:06:16.039
I don't know either that, or I just stopped paying rent.

813
01:06:18.760 --> 01:06:21.480
That might have been the situation. It's like, well, you

814
01:06:21.519 --> 01:06:26.000
don't work downstairs anymore, I'm not paying rent. And then

815
01:06:26.039 --> 01:06:28.360
I left and I didn't have any money coming anyway,

816
01:06:28.800 --> 01:06:33.719
other than a couple of part time jobs cleaning. Yeah,

817
01:06:33.800 --> 01:06:36.519
I had a part a couple of part times jobs

818
01:06:36.559 --> 01:06:43.400
cleaning one in the morning, one in the evening, so

819
01:06:43.440 --> 01:06:48.880
that gave me enough to like eat, you know. And

820
01:06:48.920 --> 01:06:53.280
then I got a job in this other company, so

821
01:06:53.960 --> 01:07:02.920
I h the timescale is not quite working out. But anyway,

822
01:07:02.960 --> 01:07:04.840
I did get a job in this maybe it'd only

823
01:07:04.840 --> 01:07:09.159
be now a month before we had to get out.

824
01:07:09.639 --> 01:07:14.800
And then I found a room on the seafront. And

825
01:07:14.920 --> 01:07:17.320
the weird thing about it this lady that took over

826
01:07:17.400 --> 01:07:22.280
the manager's job. I left the job because of her,

827
01:07:22.679 --> 01:07:27.320
because she was I just didn't get on with her.

828
01:07:29.239 --> 01:07:36.000
The irony is this the room I moved into after

829
01:07:36.039 --> 01:07:38.119
I was evicted from the flat ab of the co op.

830
01:07:40.280 --> 01:07:44.360
I didn't really like living there, and I moved And

831
01:07:44.400 --> 01:07:48.199
the room I moved into was a house owned by

832
01:07:48.239 --> 01:07:51.199
the lady that was the manager of the co op

833
01:07:52.960 --> 01:07:58.000
the new manager. So I literally lived rented rooms of

834
01:07:58.159 --> 01:08:01.400
two managers of the same co op at different times,

835
01:08:02.519 --> 01:08:05.800
except the second one owned her house as she had

836
01:08:05.840 --> 01:08:13.960
it as a I don't know, like lodging's thing, and

837
01:08:14.000 --> 01:08:18.399
I moved in there when I was eighteen, and I

838
01:08:18.439 --> 01:08:26.479
lived there. That was at the end of the end

839
01:08:26.560 --> 01:08:30.680
of nineteen eighty eight, so probably I was definitely in

840
01:08:30.760 --> 01:08:43.880
that house in December till probably February eighty nine. The

841
01:08:43.920 --> 01:08:45.560
weird thing about it is I got on really well

842
01:08:45.560 --> 01:08:48.760
with it then, so outside of work, I got on

843
01:08:48.800 --> 01:08:51.520
a k over. Inside work, we didn't get on so well,

844
01:08:53.239 --> 01:08:56.720
so I just turned up at the end. It was weird,

845
01:08:59.199 --> 01:09:02.840
you know. I phoned up about a place so it

846
01:09:02.960 --> 01:09:05.399
going to come and a look at the room. Person

847
01:09:05.439 --> 01:09:07.880
on the phone said, yeah, turn up, and she answered

848
01:09:07.920 --> 01:09:09.840
the door, and I'm thinking, oh, God, don't tell me

849
01:09:09.880 --> 01:09:13.399
you live here as well. I thought she might rent

850
01:09:13.439 --> 01:09:19.760
a room, didn't know she owned the place. And I

851
01:09:19.760 --> 01:09:23.159
suppose because maybe because I was making her money, you know,

852
01:09:23.199 --> 01:09:26.199
I was paying her mortgage. I suppose wasn't me and

853
01:09:26.239 --> 01:09:31.199
the other five people that lived there, so she viewed

854
01:09:31.239 --> 01:09:34.039
me in a different way, I was no longer a

855
01:09:34.079 --> 01:09:37.600
fawn in her side that maybe she thought of I

856
01:09:37.800 --> 01:09:45.520
was before. Hmm, Yeah, that didn't work too well either,

857
01:09:45.640 --> 01:09:48.760
but so yeah, so that was one of the many

858
01:09:48.800 --> 01:09:52.600
places I lived. But I just remember that movie watching

859
01:09:52.840 --> 01:09:55.079
It's a Wonderful Life on that black and white TV

860
01:09:57.359 --> 01:09:59.399
and it was one of the first movies that were

861
01:09:59.439 --> 01:10:07.840
really had an effect on me and really had I

862
01:10:07.880 --> 01:10:21.119
don't want to say spiritual, but it had emotional maybe. Yeah,

863
01:10:21.159 --> 01:10:25.840
So thank you for that, hope. It's only taken me

864
01:10:25.880 --> 01:10:28.359
three hours to answer that one. So the next question

865
01:10:28.359 --> 01:10:34.760
I've got is Isabelle ooh, it says out there, ooh.

866
01:10:35.039 --> 01:10:40.560
Maybe this has been asked before, but what dog? What

867
01:10:40.720 --> 01:10:45.359
kind of dog is Vinnie? Also, where are some of

868
01:10:45.359 --> 01:10:50.560
your listeners from? Oh, okay, that's going to involve me

869
01:10:50.640 --> 01:11:00.760
looking at the stats. Yeah, so Vinnie is a little

870
01:11:00.840 --> 01:11:06.279
red jack Russell, which was I suppose kind of like

871
01:11:06.600 --> 01:11:10.399
is it a Passon's dog or something? And yeah, so

872
01:11:10.439 --> 01:11:16.399
he's only a little thing. It's very noisy at times, screeches,

873
01:11:18.359 --> 01:11:21.840
hates being picked up. Apparently he didn't used to when

874
01:11:21.840 --> 01:11:24.199
he was first born, and then he just took a

875
01:11:24.239 --> 01:11:29.279
dislike to it and been like that ever since. So

876
01:11:29.399 --> 01:11:33.199
I don't know. Maybe someone dropped him, maybe you know,

877
01:11:33.279 --> 01:11:35.640
by accident, maybe because he had kids in his house

878
01:11:35.680 --> 01:11:37.760
when he was born, so maybe one of them picked

879
01:11:37.840 --> 01:11:41.479
him up and dropped him by accident and that frightened

880
01:11:41.520 --> 01:11:44.760
him into being picked up, or maybe they swung him

881
01:11:44.800 --> 01:11:49.039
around or somebody, you know, little kids. So I don't know.

882
01:11:49.399 --> 01:11:56.239
I really don't know. It just be guesswork. Where am

883
01:11:56.279 --> 01:12:11.279
my listeners from? This goes into two questions because revel

884
01:12:11.560 --> 01:12:16.159
Reveal asks she adds to this question love the idea

885
01:12:16.239 --> 01:12:20.359
about where everyone is from. Very interesting to see how

886
01:12:20.359 --> 01:12:25.840
many cultures are represented by the listeners. I think Jason

887
01:12:25.920 --> 01:12:30.960
has touched himself, and I've touched on this before though

888
01:12:31.720 --> 01:12:36.960
I have. I'm happy to go over again because stats

889
01:12:37.000 --> 01:12:38.600
are the thing that I love most in the whole

890
01:12:38.640 --> 01:12:43.079
wide world, the whole world, and we have a look.

891
01:12:43.920 --> 01:12:47.279
I'll based it on the last year, So I'm not

892
01:12:47.319 --> 01:12:49.439
going to go through the stats as in how many

893
01:12:49.920 --> 01:12:57.199
I just go through the stats as in geolocation. Okay,

894
01:12:58.159 --> 01:13:05.960
so I've got countries here, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight,

895
01:13:06.079 --> 01:13:10.640
ninety ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen,

896
01:13:11.640 --> 01:13:18.840
twenty two, twenty five, so it's twenty five different countries.

897
01:13:18.920 --> 01:13:22.680
This is on my spreaker. I'm also on sound Glad

898
01:13:22.720 --> 01:13:27.720
as well, so they could be more. So according to this,

899
01:13:28.119 --> 01:13:34.680
there's twenty five different countries. The United States is number one,

900
01:13:35.159 --> 01:13:38.720
always number one, always has been since I've been doing this.

901
01:13:39.520 --> 01:13:42.119
So the most listeners that I have ever got on

902
01:13:42.199 --> 01:13:46.920
any podcast over you know, nineteen years is nearly twenty

903
01:13:47.000 --> 01:13:54.840
years is the United States. Second is United Kingdom, which

904
01:13:54.880 --> 01:14:00.439
is where I live. It's kind of stayed the same much,

905
01:14:02.560 --> 01:14:07.199
I would say, to start with United States, there still

906
01:14:07.279 --> 01:14:09.680
is a lot more. I'm getting more than double the

907
01:14:09.720 --> 01:14:12.159
amount in America than I am in my own country,

908
01:14:14.079 --> 01:14:17.760
but it used to be a higher percentage, So the

909
01:14:17.760 --> 01:14:20.560
amount of people listening to me now in my own

910
01:14:20.600 --> 01:14:22.680
country is a lot more than it used to be.

911
01:14:25.640 --> 01:14:33.520
Number three is Australia, which is pretty much been a

912
01:14:33.640 --> 01:14:40.119
kind of standard over the years. Canada is number four,

913
01:14:42.880 --> 01:14:56.680
Ireland it's number five, Weeden is number six, Denmark is

914
01:14:57.079 --> 01:15:06.399
number seven. New Zealand is number eight. Now, there was

915
01:15:06.439 --> 01:15:08.880
a time when New Zealand would be up there with

916
01:15:09.359 --> 01:15:15.279
Canada and Australia and Ireland, and I don't think it's

917
01:15:15.319 --> 01:15:17.600
I've got less people in New Zealand listening. It's just

918
01:15:17.600 --> 01:15:23.479
I've got more people in Sweden and Denmark, Spain. Then

919
01:15:23.520 --> 01:15:42.800
I've got France, Norway, Germany, United Arab Emirates, the Netherlands, Chechia, Iceland, Iraq,

920
01:15:44.680 --> 01:16:04.920
South Africa, Turkey, Mexico, India, Belgium, Malta, Israel, and Singapore.

921
01:16:06.600 --> 01:16:14.079
They're the ones listed. So I don't I mean, I

922
01:16:14.920 --> 01:16:19.560
guess I'm guessing that people only listen if they can

923
01:16:20.800 --> 01:16:25.439
understand English. I guess it makes sense that would be

924
01:16:25.479 --> 01:16:30.600
the case, wouldn't it. But there might be people in

925
01:16:30.640 --> 01:16:36.039
these other countries that are maybe originally from England, or

926
01:16:36.199 --> 01:16:39.560
maybe people listening in one ano. There are people listening

927
01:16:39.560 --> 01:16:46.880
in the second language, not their birth language, their birth

928
01:16:47.039 --> 01:16:51.760
tongue as it were. So I'm grateful. I'm grateful for

929
01:16:51.840 --> 01:16:57.840
anyone that listens. Everyone. It's amazing that anyone listens. Really

930
01:17:00.039 --> 01:17:02.680
didn't really say that, should I but I'm still amazed.

931
01:17:04.159 --> 01:17:09.000
It's why does anyone this than ever? I don't know.

932
01:17:11.159 --> 01:17:16.279
Let's see if it's changed over the last month, current

933
01:17:17.239 --> 01:17:22.520
last month. Let's see what the geolocation is more recently,

934
01:17:22.600 --> 01:17:27.840
rather than just over the entire year. Ah, this is interesting.

935
01:17:30.479 --> 01:17:34.640
So the United States is the top and it's still

936
01:17:34.680 --> 01:17:40.800
double what United Kingdom is. Then you've got Australia, Canada, Sweden,

937
01:17:42.159 --> 01:17:47.960
so one, two three, fourth, Sweden's fifth. Now Ireland was

938
01:17:48.000 --> 01:17:51.319
fifth for the whole year, but Sweden's fifth more recently

939
01:17:51.840 --> 01:18:02.399
then Ireland, France, Denmark, chech New Zealand, United Arab Emirates, Somalia,

940
01:18:03.119 --> 01:18:06.479
so that wasn't on the overall year. One was a Spain,

941
01:18:06.880 --> 01:18:20.359
South Africa, Turkey, Iraq, Mexico, Finland, Malaysia, Greece, Belgium, Germany, Norway, Jordan, Algeria.

942
01:18:20.640 --> 01:18:23.319
So if I go by month, it breaks it down more.

943
01:18:23.560 --> 01:18:28.960
It shows more countries because I think what it is.

944
01:18:29.000 --> 01:18:32.760
If I go for like the whole year, it only shows.

945
01:18:34.520 --> 01:18:36.800
It's limited to how many It kind of shows then

946
01:18:36.920 --> 01:18:44.319
says others. That makes sense, I say, last twelve months. Yeah,

947
01:18:45.359 --> 01:18:48.079
I mean there's there's a lot of others which it

948
01:18:48.079 --> 01:18:54.119
doesn't even mention. So it's four point five percent. So

949
01:18:54.239 --> 01:18:58.439
over the last year, four point five percent or just

950
01:18:58.560 --> 01:19:04.520
under five percent of my total listeners come from other

951
01:19:04.560 --> 01:19:11.279
countries than the ones that I already mentioned. So yeah,

952
01:19:11.439 --> 01:19:16.560
that's there's a lot of countries. Probably pretty much every

953
01:19:16.600 --> 01:19:19.279
country in the world. I guess there might only be

954
01:19:19.319 --> 01:19:32.000
a few, but still quite nice. As far as where abouts,

955
01:19:33.920 --> 01:19:41.079
and you've got United States, there are one, two, three, four, five, six, seven,

956
01:19:41.199 --> 01:19:51.680
eight nine ten. Wow. These are regions are California, So Texas, Florida, Illinois,

957
01:19:51.920 --> 01:20:02.199
New York, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Arizona, North Carolina, New Jersey, Washington, Utah, Ohio,

958
01:20:03.279 --> 01:20:40.479
South Carolina, Massachusetts, Michigan, Indiana, Virginia, Oregon, Missouri, Connecticut, Minnesota, Colorado, Mississississippi, Maine, Montana, Wiconsin, Georgia, Alabama, Kentucky, Tennessee, Iowa, Kansas, Alaska, Nevada,

959
01:20:41.039 --> 01:20:55.000
New Mexico, Delaware, Oklahoma, Louisiana, District of Columbia, New Hampshire, Idaho, Hawaii, Arkansas,

960
01:20:55.720 --> 01:21:05.760
North Dakota, West Virginia, Nebraska, Rhode Island, Vermont, South Dakota, Wyoming,

961
01:21:06.119 --> 01:21:15.520
and others some others as well. So how many is that? One, two, three, four, five, six, seven,

962
01:21:15.760 --> 01:21:21.399
eight nine ten out of eight In twenty twenty two,

963
01:21:21.600 --> 01:21:25.600
twenty four, twenty six, twenty eight, thirty thirty two they

964
01:21:25.640 --> 01:21:32.560
four thirty six eight forty fifty. It's like fifty I

965
01:21:32.600 --> 01:21:34.880
mean these are regions, not states, are they?

966
01:21:36.119 --> 01:21:36.199
It?

967
01:21:36.399 --> 01:21:46.640
States? All regions. So it's like one, two, three, four, five, six, ten,

968
01:21:46.760 --> 01:21:51.640
and twelve one fifty six two of you. And I've

969
01:21:51.720 --> 01:21:56.279
had in six, twenty eight, ten, thirty, thirty two, thirty four,

970
01:21:56.479 --> 01:22:04.399
thirty six, thirty eight, forty forty two, forty six, forty eight,

971
01:22:05.239 --> 01:22:10.199
fifty fifty two, fifty four, fifty six fifty seven, So

972
01:22:10.359 --> 01:22:20.439
fifty seven districts or regions. So I don't know how

973
01:22:20.439 --> 01:22:23.479
many states there is in so I thought I always

974
01:22:23.520 --> 01:22:26.800
every state, but California is in our state, then is it?

975
01:22:27.199 --> 01:22:33.159
I don't know, but I'm confused. And then we can

976
01:22:33.199 --> 01:22:37.279
loick in California. And you've got Los Angeles, Napa, Mountain Views,

977
01:22:37.319 --> 01:22:45.760
San Jose, sorry, San Jos, Woodland, Elk Grove, Fresno, Palm Desert, Richmond.

978
01:22:47.079 --> 01:22:51.960
There's a lot, there's a lot, a lot, lot, lot,

979
01:22:52.039 --> 01:22:59.640
lot lot Texas. How many in Texas, Dallas, North Richland Hills,

980
01:23:00.399 --> 01:23:11.520
San Antonio, Houston, Austin, Waxahatchie, Frisco, Legal City, Grapevine, Abilene.

981
01:23:12.600 --> 01:23:18.760
I mean it's a lot, a lot of different places.

982
01:23:22.079 --> 01:23:26.760
If we go to United Kingdom, your England, Scotland, Wales,

983
01:23:26.880 --> 01:23:31.000
Northern Ireland if I go to England, so England is

984
01:23:31.039 --> 01:23:42.960
the most however, however, no, there's no however. So however

985
01:23:43.840 --> 01:23:49.960
England is eighty five nearly eighty six percent out of

986
01:23:50.000 --> 01:23:55.079
the United Kingdom. Scotland is seven zero point three six percent,

987
01:23:56.359 --> 01:24:00.319
Wales is three point two eight percent, Northern Ireland zero

988
01:24:00.359 --> 01:24:03.199
point four six percent, and other is two point nine

989
01:24:03.319 --> 01:24:08.159
four So that could be the Falkland Islands or Isle

990
01:24:08.159 --> 01:24:12.840
of White Island, man Jersey. Maybe I don't know places

991
01:24:12.920 --> 01:24:18.319
like that. I can't think of any other places. So

992
01:24:18.760 --> 01:24:25.760
England there is sid Cup. See if you from any

993
01:24:25.800 --> 01:24:31.640
of these places, contact me. Let me know sid Cup, Bristol.

994
01:24:33.279 --> 01:24:36.760
So this is this is over the last year. This

995
01:24:37.000 --> 01:24:45.840
is the top places in England. Like you know, that's

996
01:24:45.880 --> 01:24:51.079
the most viewed sid cups Number one. I don't haven't

997
01:24:51.079 --> 01:24:55.840
no where sid Cup is. Bristol number two. I've never

998
01:24:55.880 --> 01:25:02.960
been to Bristol, Newcastle upon Tyme, used to live there, Birmingham,

999
01:25:03.479 --> 01:25:06.479
So hello to everyone in Sidcup and Bristol and Newcastle

1000
01:25:06.520 --> 01:25:16.960
on Tyme and Birmingham and all the other places I mentioned, Trowbridge, Hartleypool, Cambridge, Gosport,

1001
01:25:17.600 --> 01:25:55.520
great Yarmouth, Leeds, Huddersfield, Manchester, ash Ford, Dagenham, Lundon, Huntington, Huntingdon, Houndslow, Sunderland, Bexley, Heath, Leicester, Hackney, Aylesbury, Fulham, Portsmouth, Dewsbury, Sutton, Wandsworth, Worksop, Islington,

1002
01:25:56.840 --> 01:26:02.600
Milton Keynes, Sheffield, Milton Keynes. Why do I say like that,

1003
01:26:02.680 --> 01:26:07.439
Milton Keynes. It's very posture of me. Sheffield is Milton

1004
01:26:07.520 --> 01:26:40.960
Keynes a very posh place to live? Sheffield, Hull, Croydon, Eastleigh, Oxford, Lee, Maidstone, Cramlington, Liverpool, Swindon, Wembley, Luton, Nottingham, Kensington, Solihull, Newham, Watford, Chorley, Eastbourne, Wallingford.

1005
01:26:42.279 --> 01:26:47.000
And then thirty three point two percent is in other places,

1006
01:26:47.640 --> 01:26:50.640
which is quite a big amount. So basically there's a

1007
01:26:50.680 --> 01:26:55.960
not enough room for them to cover everything. But Sidcup

1008
01:26:56.279 --> 01:26:59.119
is number one for the year, and so is Bristol.

1009
01:27:01.359 --> 01:27:06.560
So if is anyone out there that's this mad in

1010
01:27:06.600 --> 01:27:11.119
love with me, just contact me, especially if you're human.

1011
01:27:12.640 --> 01:27:14.880
Let's have a look what other thing. Let's say for

1012
01:27:14.920 --> 01:27:19.439
the year, for the month, so let's say the last

1013
01:27:19.920 --> 01:27:24.760
last month for the youth for England. Let's have luck.

1014
01:27:26.000 --> 01:27:29.560
So I'm going to see which one's the top Oh

1015
01:27:30.760 --> 01:27:43.039
last month, the top one was Portsmouth, Wembley, Wallingford, Manchester, Croydon, Birmingham,

1016
01:27:43.880 --> 01:27:50.119
Newcastle upon Tyne, Sheffield, Camden. These are places, some of

1017
01:27:50.159 --> 01:27:52.720
them that I've not mentioned before. These must have been

1018
01:27:52.760 --> 01:28:07.000
those other thirty three percent. And you've got Gosford, Fulham, Bristol, Wandsworth, Witness, Hartleypool, Leeds, London,

1019
01:28:07.800 --> 01:28:17.640
lewish Ham, Leighton, Buzzard, Sutton, Bromley, Harrow. I wish I

1020
01:28:17.640 --> 01:28:20.439
could say Bromley and actually roll my tongue, but I'm not.

1021
01:28:20.479 --> 01:28:27.840
I'm just making my lips vibrate. Just It's a skill,

1022
01:28:27.960 --> 01:28:38.920
isn't it. I suppose in some ways Harrow, Nottingham, Sleeveord, Gloucester,

1023
01:28:40.560 --> 01:28:54.720
Glockhoust Gloucester, Gloucester, Richmond, Sausages, Rochester, Amisham, Brent, Redditch, Lowestoft,

1024
01:28:55.439 --> 01:28:59.520
Saint Helen's Pete. Wow, there's loads, isn't there. This is

1025
01:28:59.560 --> 01:29:05.039
more than the other one. Wow, Petersfield, Whitney, Eastleigh, Ashford,

1026
01:29:05.439 --> 01:29:15.159
south Shields, Southampton, Walsall, City of Westminster, Windsor Swindon, Windsor

1027
01:29:15.720 --> 01:29:17.680
Does that mean members of the royal family are listening

1028
01:29:17.680 --> 01:29:26.119
to me? Hello, Your Highness, thank you for listening. Wakefield, Corsham,

1029
01:29:26.880 --> 01:29:35.319
Ward and Forest, Hitching, Leicester, Oxford, Tamworth, Thetford. I used

1030
01:29:35.359 --> 01:29:38.640
to know someone that was from Tamworth, someone I worked with.

1031
01:29:38.680 --> 01:29:41.119
It was not really nice bloke. It was a comedian

1032
01:29:41.159 --> 01:29:46.640
as well, really friendly, nice, nice man. It's a long

1033
01:29:46.720 --> 01:29:50.840
time ago. Okay, let's go it this month so far,

1034
01:29:50.920 --> 01:29:54.640
because that was current month. That's this month, not last month.

1035
01:29:55.039 --> 01:30:00.000
That's the current month. So Portsmouth, whoever you are in Portsmouth,

1036
01:30:00.960 --> 01:30:02.880
you're the one listening to the most to me at

1037
01:30:02.880 --> 01:30:10.239
the moment. And then Wembley, Wallingford, Manchester, Croydon, Birmingham, Newcastle

1038
01:30:10.319 --> 01:30:18.720
upon Tyne, Sheffield and Camden and Gossport, Fulham, so you're

1039
01:30:18.760 --> 01:30:21.800
the ones, you're the most one's listening to me the most.

1040
01:30:22.000 --> 01:30:29.560
But before I go, last month it's that a look England, Oh,

1041
01:30:29.880 --> 01:30:33.359
Newcastle upon Tyn was the top one, ports From the

1042
01:30:33.520 --> 01:30:45.079
number two, Gosport, Birmingham, Hartlepool, Wallingford, Leeds, Nottingham, one's Worth, Daggingham,

1043
01:30:45.600 --> 01:30:51.199
witch Church, solly Hole. So many places I've not been to.

1044
01:30:52.520 --> 01:30:54.439
Is it really weird? Like I think it would be

1045
01:30:54.520 --> 01:30:59.640
nice to travel the world on a boat though, you know,

1046
01:30:59.760 --> 01:31:04.359
on a not a ferry like a cruise. I'd like

1047
01:31:04.439 --> 01:31:07.760
to go on cruises, but I don't mean I want

1048
01:31:07.760 --> 01:31:11.119
to go cruise in Oh, let's go cruising. No, I

1049
01:31:11.159 --> 01:31:17.920
mean just on a cruise, just traveling around and have

1050
01:31:18.079 --> 01:31:22.439
something to talk about. It's that's kind of that's my

1051
01:31:22.560 --> 01:31:36.880
new dream. It's my new dream. Wimbledon, Sutton, Newham, Wembley, Abingdon, Ashford, London, Sleaford, Witness, Harrow, Stockport,

1052
01:31:37.199 --> 01:31:40.640
Oxford Hole. It's a lot of places up north that

1053
01:31:40.680 --> 01:31:46.640
I've not been to. I liked it in Nottingham. I know,

1054
01:31:46.840 --> 01:31:52.079
technically it's middle. It's the Middle. It's not North. It's

1055
01:31:52.119 --> 01:31:54.800
the middle. Isn't it like Middle East? Middle East? Not

1056
01:31:54.840 --> 01:32:03.359
Middle East. That's a different place. It's a Midlands, I suppose,

1057
01:32:03.399 --> 01:32:10.079
isn't it. Really it's kind of just like Newcastle's up north,

1058
01:32:10.119 --> 01:32:13.640
but it's not. There's those places that are nowhere near

1059
01:32:13.680 --> 01:32:18.960
the sea, but really as parts where you can't get

1060
01:32:19.039 --> 01:32:21.720
near the sea because you basically have to go into

1061
01:32:21.720 --> 01:32:27.680
Scotland to get to the sea. I'm talking like, I all, look,

1062
01:32:28.119 --> 01:32:33.159
Bognor Regis. I used to live in Bognor Regis. If

1063
01:32:33.159 --> 01:32:37.840
you're listening from Bognor Regis, Hello, do you remember me?

1064
01:32:41.439 --> 01:32:43.840
No one. No one's going to remember me from any time.

1065
01:32:43.880 --> 01:32:47.199
I don't think Bognor regis. Yeah. I used to work

1066
01:32:47.199 --> 01:32:55.880
at Buttlings, momentarily Stratford upon Avon. Not my Stratford, but

1067
01:32:56.079 --> 01:33:04.560
Stratford upon Even, Daventry, Prescott, Ellesmere Port, Lower Stuffed, Hell's

1068
01:33:04.600 --> 01:33:09.600
weren't I've got a family and low Stuffed, Spennymore, Hackney,

1069
01:33:10.399 --> 01:33:20.279
Great Missenden, Southampton, Hayward, Safe, Sheffield, Pontefract, Bushy, Acrington, Hereford,

1070
01:33:20.920 --> 01:33:28.520
Hammersmith and Lee and Lee. So I'm just trying to think.

1071
01:33:28.600 --> 01:33:32.479
If I look at the other one, the other studio, at.

1072
01:33:32.359 --> 01:33:42.520
The SoundCloud, some looks see I think SoundCloud is a

1073
01:33:42.600 --> 01:33:43.760
less UK.

1074
01:33:45.680 --> 01:33:50.920
Oh wow, that's weird. Got loads of listeners on there

1075
01:33:50.920 --> 01:34:00.439
today for some reason. Uh yeah, predominantly there's something place

1076
01:34:00.520 --> 01:34:02.079
but it says on here. So this is one of

1077
01:34:02.079 --> 01:34:06.960
my SoundCloud let me boyd this sleep podcast. Council Bluffs.

1078
01:34:07.319 --> 01:34:10.000
That's a city where that is. It's in America. So,

1079
01:34:10.159 --> 01:34:22.279
but the countries are America, United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, Canada, Australia, France, Norway, Philippines, Malaysia, Hungary,

1080
01:34:23.079 --> 01:34:42.159
Russian Federation, Singapore, Latvia, Vietnam, Brazil, Spain, Netherlands, Denmark, Thailand, Croatia, Crotro, Croatia, Poland, Italy,

1081
01:34:43.479 --> 01:35:07.880
packing Pakistan, Sweden, kass Kas, Kazakhs, Kazakhstan, Colombia, Pauchew, gal Idea, India, Togo, Barbados, Baain,

1082
01:35:08.920 --> 01:35:13.279
the Gia. It's actually Turkia, but we still call it Turkey.

1083
01:35:13.760 --> 01:35:17.640
They rebranded. Did you know that Turkey rebranded and decided

1084
01:35:17.680 --> 01:35:21.319
to change their name instead of t u r k

1085
01:35:21.520 --> 01:35:25.479
E y, Like the bird is now t u k

1086
01:35:25.840 --> 01:35:29.640
I y e And it's supposed to be pronounced Turkia.

1087
01:35:30.039 --> 01:35:34.359
Maybe it was always pronounced Turkia by people in Turkey.

1088
01:35:35.720 --> 01:35:45.279
It's but then Germany's pronounced Deutschland, and Spain is pronounced

1089
01:35:45.399 --> 01:35:53.279
pronounced Hispania, and France is at Francis, like you know,

1090
01:35:53.319 --> 01:36:01.720
we most countries are pronounced wrongly by foreigners, like me

1091
01:36:02.039 --> 01:36:07.199
being a foreigner to another country. So it's just it's standard.

1092
01:36:07.239 --> 01:36:10.479
It's not disrespectful, it's just it's just how we're taught

1093
01:36:10.479 --> 01:36:17.479
as school, isn't that? I mean, I have very very

1094
01:36:17.600 --> 01:36:22.479
vague memories of school guess that I once went, But

1095
01:36:22.520 --> 01:36:25.880
they've got the cities or the towns. There's a council Bluffs.

1096
01:36:29.399 --> 01:36:33.720
That's a weird name, isn't it, Council Bluffs because Bluffs

1097
01:36:33.760 --> 01:36:35.760
is like when you kind of lie, isn't it? Or

1098
01:36:35.800 --> 01:36:44.039
you missdirect? So council a lying council, and they've got boardman.

1099
01:36:44.600 --> 01:36:48.840
Is that another city or town? Ashburn? So that's in

1100
01:36:48.880 --> 01:36:52.600
the United States. So that's the top three. Then you've

1101
01:36:52.600 --> 01:37:02.960
got Manchester, Dublin in course Ireland, Sandy and Phoenix in America. Folkstein,

1102
01:37:05.560 --> 01:37:11.800
I don't know where Folkstein is. Folkstein, All right, don't shout,

1103
01:37:11.840 --> 01:37:16.039
I'll find it. Oh yeah, it is in Germany. I

1104
01:37:16.119 --> 01:37:33.760
wonder if that's what's his name? Sebastian, Philadelphia, Melbourne, Sterling, Columbus, Huntingdon, Portland, Winnipegville, Gen, Schweingen, Schwingen.

1105
01:37:34.720 --> 01:37:40.319
And that is Germany as well. Yep, Germany. I've gotta

1106
01:37:40.359 --> 01:37:44.079
be careful because I remember years ago I learned about flags.

1107
01:37:46.039 --> 01:37:48.359
I know a lot about flags. I've known more about

1108
01:37:48.359 --> 01:37:51.560
flags than anyone who's ever existed. No, I had a

1109
01:37:51.560 --> 01:37:54.560
book of flags, but I noticed that some of them

1110
01:37:54.800 --> 01:37:57.479
are very similar to each other, but just the colors

1111
01:37:57.479 --> 01:38:01.560
in a different order. Sadly'd be a bit well be

1112
01:38:01.680 --> 01:38:06.520
careful because some people would take offense and I'm not

1113
01:38:06.600 --> 01:38:09.319
out to cause offense. I'm out to cause love in

1114
01:38:09.399 --> 01:38:16.720
the world and sleep and we lack fation. Chicago, City

1115
01:38:16.760 --> 01:38:23.720
of Monty, Lupper, Mountain Lupper. I genuinely don't know how

1116
01:38:23.720 --> 01:38:26.119
to say that. I mean, I do mess up the

1117
01:38:26.239 --> 01:38:29.600
names on purpose sometimes, but on this occasion, I don't

1118
01:38:29.640 --> 01:38:34.159
know how to say. And that's in the Philippines. So

1119
01:38:34.279 --> 01:38:39.000
whoever is from the Philippines or from wherever you're from, Hello,

1120
01:38:39.800 --> 01:38:48.039
maybe contact me, say Hi. Saint Helen's in England, kill Hay,

1121

01:39:54.520 --> 01:39:58.039
Mill Brooks has quite a few different places, but What

1128
01:39:58.159 --> 01:40:01.600
about the other countries? Wh do you keep focusing it? Okay,

1129

so we can't miss You can't miss the different parts

1153
01:42:23.399 --> 01:42:29.359
of Northern Island of the United Kingdom. And Wrexham. Chepstowe Barry.

1154
01:42:29.520 --> 01:42:33.199
This is in Wales, so Wrexham's the top. This is

01:42:54.479 --> 01:42:58.239
is it? Why do I love that name so much? Tony?

01:42:58.239 --> 01:43:02.840
Where do you live Tony Pandy? Wow? I wish I

1159
01:43:02.880 --> 01:43:05.279
could live there. You can. You've just got to buy

1160
01:43:05.319 --> 01:43:08.960
a house. It's got to move. Oh. I want to

1161
01:43:09.000 --> 01:43:14.560
live in Tony Pandy. I mean, I don't know if

1162
01:43:14.560 --> 01:43:16.399
i'd want to move there. I don't know what it's like.

1163
01:43:16.880 --> 01:43:18.720
Maybe if you live in Tony Pandy. You can tell

1164
01:43:18.760 --> 01:43:25.399
me Tony Pandy, what brilliant name. I'm probably pronouncing it wrong.

1165
01:43:25.439 --> 01:43:39.079
It's probably like just come some completely different sound. Abadair, Hollywell, Caerphilly, Kafily, Newport.

1166
01:43:39.479 --> 01:43:45.840
Actually know someone lived in Newport, Bargode, Lanellie, Blackwood, Swansea,

1167
01:43:46.920 --> 01:43:52.800
Ponti Pool, Mountain, ash man A Bridge and Abba Stwift

1168
01:43:53.359 --> 01:43:59.239
ab Burstwift. So the top one's there, Wrexham and Chaps

1169
01:43:59.279 --> 01:44:06.479
though Barry Caldecott d Side. I did think about maybe

1170
01:44:07.560 --> 01:44:10.800
I'm thinking of getting married. I mean, I haven't met

1171
01:44:10.840 --> 01:44:13.439
anyone yet, but I'm just thinking about it. I'm just wondering,

1172
01:44:13.720 --> 01:44:21.319
m maybe it'd be nice to get married because I'm

1173
01:44:21.319 --> 01:44:25.520
thinking I quite like to go away. I'd quite like

1174
01:44:25.640 --> 01:44:30.000
to go away and I don't know cruises. If I

1175
01:44:30.039 --> 01:44:34.640
can afford to do it one day and it just

1176
01:44:34.720 --> 01:44:36.920
seems like I could be much nicer. I'll be able

1177
01:44:36.960 --> 01:44:42.840
to do it, and it'd be more if I had

1178
01:44:42.920 --> 01:44:45.640
someone to look after Vinnie while I went on holiday.

1179
01:44:46.520 --> 01:44:51.600
So yeah, I'm thinking of getting married. I don't know

1180
01:44:51.640 --> 01:44:54.239
what you think, would you reckon? Do you want to

1181
01:44:54.279 --> 01:44:55.560
get married to me? Do you want to marry me,

1182
01:44:57.000 --> 01:44:59.640
Do you love me? Will you love me forever? I

1183
01:44:59.720 --> 01:45:07.840
never I never know. Right last month Northern Ireland, Newtown Abbey, Belfast,

1184
01:45:09.359 --> 01:45:15.479
dung Gannon okay, because that's Uncle Sausages was from Northern Ireland.

1185
01:45:17.079 --> 01:45:19.880
So I just thought that'd be interesting. What other places

1186
01:45:19.960 --> 01:45:24.479
are there so many different places. I can't I just

1187
01:45:24.560 --> 01:45:31.479
can't begin to go through all I means. France, Lead

1188
01:45:31.800 --> 01:45:39.600
de France, al Guererose, Alps, s grand Este, nouvelle. I

1189
01:45:39.680 --> 01:45:42.880
can't even say the names. It's terrible, isn't it. I'm

1190
01:45:43.079 --> 01:45:47.359
so I'm such a lower class I am. I've got

1191
01:45:47.439 --> 01:45:57.640
no style at all. Brittany Ochitanne, Normandy, Harts de France,

1192
01:45:58.439 --> 01:46:04.760
Pays de la Lawyer, Corsica, course, Corsica. Is that in France?

1193
01:46:04.880 --> 01:46:10.479
Is it? I didn't know that I thought it was.

1194
01:46:13.479 --> 01:46:14.920
I don't know I thought it was it was a

1195
01:46:14.960 --> 01:46:19.199
different country. Paris. So Paris is the top place in France.

1196
01:46:19.800 --> 01:46:22.920
The people listen to me, it's that's nice. I just

1197
01:46:23.000 --> 01:46:27.199
want to go back to the last year, the last

1198
01:46:27.279 --> 01:46:30.640
twelve months. So I want to see in the UK,

1199

1200
01:46:40.079 --> 01:46:47.600
so we've done England, United Kingdom to Scotland Scotland. Glasgow

1201
01:46:47.960 --> 01:47:03.399

1209
01:48:14.000 --> 01:48:17.800

1215
01:48:58.920 --> 01:49:02.600
I love that name. I don't know why Bangod. I

1216
01:49:02.680 --> 01:49:07.319
think I might need to move to Tony Pandy Bargoed.

1217
01:49:09.520 --> 01:49:11.199
So if there's anyone out there that wants to be

1218

1223
01:49:42.079 --> 01:49:44.359
and said, no, it really is in Wales. No, I

1224
01:49:44.399 --> 01:49:47.039
know it's in Wales, but I think maybe there might

1225
01:49:47.119 --> 01:49:50.479
be a port Toalbert in America as well. So you're

1226
01:49:50.479 --> 01:49:58.520

dun Gannon, Londonderry, Newton Abbey, Newry, Omar, bally Money, bally Money.

1232
01:50:36.640 --> 01:50:37.960
That's a no nice word, isn't it.

1233
01:50:40.319 --> 01:50:40.359
Not?

1234
01:50:40.439 --> 01:50:42.479
Because it's got the word money and it just just

1235
01:50:42.840 --> 01:50:54.760
Baally Money. Craig Avon, Bangor down Patrick that's another quite good.

1236
01:50:55.000 --> 01:50:57.000
Maybe it's just because of the names. It's got a

1237
01:50:57.079 --> 01:51:04.640
name in it down Patrick and you've got new Townhards.

1238
01:51:09.239 --> 01:51:12.920
This was the last twelve months. So what other places

1239
01:51:13.640 --> 01:51:22.039
was thinking? They go to Ireland? Leinster, Munster, knnak Ulster, Ulster.

1240
01:51:24.000 --> 01:51:28.520
I thought Ulster was Northern Ireland. No, well, it just

1241
01:51:28.600 --> 01:51:31.640
shows you what I know. I'm so out of touch

1242
01:51:31.800 --> 01:51:46.439
with places. Uh what about Sweden? Nor Vinice just farted? No,

1243
01:51:46.800 --> 01:51:50.600
I think I hope it's viny. No, I didn't feel anything,

1244
01:51:50.720 --> 01:51:53.279
so I'm just smiling it so blindly out. I really

1245
01:51:53.319 --> 01:51:56.880
hope it is in. I wish i'd keep the window

1246
01:51:56.920 --> 01:52:05.439
open now, nor Bottom County, Stockholm County, Vetra, Gotterland County,

1247
01:52:06.239 --> 01:52:15.600
Ostroglotte Land County, Upsala, Upsala. That's very Viking up Sala,

1248
01:52:17.359 --> 01:52:17.760
isn't that?

1249
01:52:18.760 --> 01:52:18.920
Now?

1250
01:52:19.119 --> 01:52:29.760
I know this is Sweden. Upsala. Now I watched The

1251
01:52:29.880 --> 01:52:33.880
Vikings and I realized, you know, he said it's the

1252
01:52:33.960 --> 01:52:38.399
wrong country, but perhaps I can't remember, but Upsala isn't

1253
01:52:38.399 --> 01:52:45.359
that where some of the Vikings lived. I watched every

1254
01:52:45.399 --> 01:52:47.920
episode of The Vikings and it was about seven thousand

1255
01:52:48.039 --> 01:52:51.239
different series, you know, but of it it went off

1256
01:52:51.239 --> 01:52:59.479
for ages and I loved it very much. Upsala Farmlands.

1257
01:53:00.039 --> 01:53:01.479
Let's have a look at a click on up side

1258
01:53:01.520 --> 01:53:05.079
and see if there's any places that I remember. No,

1259
01:53:05.359 --> 01:53:13.600
just upsalah Ah. So if you're in Sweden. I remember

1260
01:53:13.640 --> 01:53:17.720
going to Sweden. It's just on the airport on the

1261
01:53:17.800 --> 01:53:24.600
way to somewhere, and I just not surprised, but there

1262
01:53:24.640 --> 01:53:30.840
was just everyone was blonde, And you know, I see

1263
01:53:30.880 --> 01:53:34.000
that on the new newspapers and TV shows and I

1264
01:53:34.119 --> 01:53:38.600
kin'd of just assume it's a it's just a cliche.

1265
01:53:41.119 --> 01:53:44.199
But I don't know. Obviously, not anyone in Sweden is

1266
01:53:44.199 --> 01:53:49.119
going to be blonde, but it seems to be there's

1267
01:53:49.159 --> 01:53:56.039
a few people that are. What about Belgium, that's like Belgium.

1268
01:53:56.359 --> 01:54:05.960
You've got Brussels, Capital, Flanders walone wall wall Oh cool,

1269
01:54:06.159 --> 01:54:20.479
it's a Hallo tech one from Belgium and India Canada, Ireland, Sweden, Denmark.

1270
01:54:20.520 --> 01:54:27.680
I look at Denmark Capital Region, Central Jatland, South Denmark,

1271
01:54:28.800 --> 01:54:39.560
Zealand and North Denmark. So fred Fredericksburg is the top

1272
01:54:39.640 --> 01:54:51.319
place for the year. Copenhagen, More Municipal Valby from shoj Hunderstead,

1273
01:54:52.439 --> 01:55:06.520
von Loos, Bellerup Municipal Municipality, Gloucestrup mop Municipality. I can't

1274
01:55:06.560 --> 01:55:11.439
even say it, so thank you to everyone. I can't

1275
01:55:11.479 --> 01:55:15.399
go for every single country, but there's a lot of countries.

1276
01:55:15.439 --> 01:55:19.359
It's like I'm kind of covers everyone in the world,

1277
01:55:20.279 --> 01:55:23.680
kind of as far as not everyone, as in every

1278
01:55:23.720 --> 01:55:29.000
single person, but it's going to pretty much cover most cultures,

1279
01:55:30.760 --> 01:55:36.119
most religions, perhaps perhaps not. I mean, it's I got

1280
01:55:36.279 --> 01:55:42.079
no idea. Jonathan asks what does a typical day's meals

1281
01:55:42.159 --> 01:55:46.640
and beverages consist of? It depends where you're going and

1282
01:55:46.720 --> 01:55:52.159
what you're buying. If I was when I was going

1283
01:55:52.199 --> 01:55:58.119
to visit Uncle Sausages in hospital, I think it's about

1284
01:55:58.239 --> 01:56:05.279
twenty quid for a a coffee, maybe two coffees and

1285
01:56:05.359 --> 01:56:09.199
a couple of sandwiches, about twenty crid.

1286
01:56:11.960 --> 01:56:12.399
A day.

1287
01:56:14.159 --> 01:56:16.479
It does depend where you're going, because you know there's

1288
01:56:16.640 --> 01:56:20.279
cheaper places you can go and get something for sometimes

1289
01:56:20.640 --> 01:56:23.960
meal deals. If you're out, you can get like a

1290
01:56:24.079 --> 01:56:26.680
meal deal for five pound where you get a drink

1291
01:56:27.640 --> 01:56:33.520
sandwich and maybe pack it at Crisps or a chocolate

1292
01:56:33.600 --> 01:56:35.600
bar or something, you know, so you get enough for

1293
01:56:35.880 --> 01:56:45.359
like a little meal thing. Beverages. I mean, I only

1294
01:56:45.439 --> 01:56:48.279
really just drink tea and water most of the time.

1295
01:56:50.119 --> 01:56:54.119
Occasionally I have fizzy drink, but it's not often, so

1296
01:56:54.199 --> 01:57:02.039
I don't know how much fizzy drinks cost the I

1297
01:57:02.159 --> 01:57:04.520
don't know how. It's weird really because I don't because

1298
01:57:04.520 --> 01:57:08.920
I don't go into pubs. I don't drink alcohol, so

1299
01:57:08.960 --> 01:57:11.239
I don't. I don't know how. I'm not even not

1300
01:57:11.359 --> 01:57:14.840
even the faintest idea how much a pint of largo

1301
01:57:14.920 --> 01:57:21.000
would be. So if I point pint larger cost cost

1302
01:57:21.920 --> 01:57:31.079
UK pint of lager four pounds sixty the cost the

1303
01:57:31.119 --> 01:57:32.920
average cost of a pint lager in the UK is

1304
01:57:33.159 --> 01:57:38.520
four sixty ah, okay, right, So it depends where you are.

1305
01:57:39.439 --> 01:57:42.239
According to this, it says London's five pounds forty four

1306
01:57:42.319 --> 01:57:46.560
for a pint and Wales is four to twenty one,

1307
01:57:46.760 --> 01:57:50.399
so it's the cheapest place to get a pint of lager,

1308
01:57:50.960 --> 01:57:58.119
London's the most expensive, Southeast four ninety four the second

1309
01:57:58.159 --> 01:58:03.199
most expensive. That's where I live. Northeast England four fifty six.

1310
01:58:03.960 --> 01:58:08.840
This is pounds slightly above the national average, and then

1311
01:58:09.399 --> 01:58:14.239
four ninety three in Southwest are also a month the

1312
01:58:14.359 --> 01:58:22.840
highest prices. All let's have a look. What's the It's

1313
01:58:22.880 --> 01:58:25.399
got a little chart here, so I have a look

1314
01:58:25.439 --> 01:58:26.000
at the chart.

1315
01:58:26.399 --> 01:58:27.000
Is there a chart?

1316
01:58:29.199 --> 01:58:32.279
Yeah? See what? Oh? Go away? I don't want to

1317
01:58:32.319 --> 01:58:37.439
be a paid member. Go away right? So according to

1318
01:58:37.600 --> 01:58:46.199
this Southwest five sixteen, Southeast five twenty one, London five

1319
01:58:46.239 --> 01:58:51.119
pound fifty nine, East Midlands, Oh so nothing for Norwige

1320
01:58:51.199 --> 01:58:54.840
then no, they don't buy lager there East England, East

1321
01:58:55.000 --> 01:58:58.760
Midlands four pounds seventy four, four pounds seventy four, West

1322
01:58:58.840 --> 01:59:05.359
Midlands and also Wales Northwest four pounds eighty seven, Northeast

1323
01:59:05.680 --> 01:59:13.039
four pound fifty six. Actually has realized the Northeast and

1324
01:59:13.079 --> 01:59:17.359
the Northwest does also have a Let's see, depends where

1325
01:59:17.399 --> 01:59:23.800
you live. Scotland four pounds eighty seven. So it depends

1326
01:59:23.840 --> 01:59:26.039
what you're eating, I mean you can or what you're drinking.

1327
01:59:26.079 --> 01:59:29.119
So if you can drink alcohol, then you're looking at

1328
01:59:29.239 --> 01:59:36.279
like five quid roughly for a drink, and if you're

1329
01:59:39.680 --> 01:59:42.840
if you get a takeaway delivered, you're looking at about

1330
01:59:45.039 --> 01:59:48.840
twenty pounds, you know, roughly. It could be more. Depends

1331
01:59:48.880 --> 01:59:51.640
what you're ordering, depends where you're ordering it from, what

1332
01:59:51.840 --> 01:59:55.319
time of the day, what kind of delivery charges there

1333
01:59:55.439 --> 01:59:59.359
is there is you know, yeah, it really just depends

1334
01:59:59.399 --> 02:00:06.159
on what you get. But then you might be talking

1335
02:00:06.159 --> 02:00:11.560
about me specifically. So I get my everything I get

1336
02:00:11.680 --> 02:00:14.560
is delivered to me. And I just had a delivery

1337
02:00:14.640 --> 02:00:21.039
this morning from eats what it was called Uber Eats,

1338
02:00:21.920 --> 02:00:28.039
and that cost me I think like thirty four pounds

1339
02:00:28.079 --> 02:00:34.880
something like that. And for that I got four milks.

1340
02:00:41.520 --> 02:00:48.079
Oh okay, it's some bananas, some apples, some pizzas. Those

1341
02:00:48.279 --> 02:00:53.720
two little pizzas. I got a packet of bags which

1342
02:00:53.920 --> 02:00:56.479
you can store stuff in for the freezer and stuff

1343
02:00:56.600 --> 02:01:02.399
and the fridge. I got some jaffee cakes and another

1344
02:01:03.000 --> 02:01:12.560
little packet of biscuits, some bread rollschbatta, and I think

1345
02:01:12.680 --> 02:01:16.680
that's pretty much it. Trying to think what else there

1346
02:01:16.920 --> 02:01:25.800
was Boom boom cheese. Got some cheese as well, some

1347
02:01:26.000 --> 02:01:32.520
cheese slices. So you know, you could buy stuff like

1348
02:01:32.680 --> 02:01:35.199
I have, So I find I have a cheese and

1349
02:01:35.279 --> 02:01:37.359
tomato bread roll, which is what I'm planning to for

1350
02:01:37.479 --> 02:01:52.119
my lunch. Then the a pound, probably two pound, but

1351
02:01:52.279 --> 02:01:55.439
then Vinnie has to he loves cheese, so I can't

1352
02:01:55.520 --> 02:02:01.680
have to share it with him. Where is he He's

1353
02:02:01.760 --> 02:02:03.720
not even under the table. I don't know where he is.

1354
02:02:05.720 --> 02:02:09.279
He's actually right under my chair, like behind my chair.

1355
02:02:11.199 --> 02:02:12.560
I didn't even know he was there. I didn't know

1356
02:02:12.600 --> 02:02:16.399
where he was. So yeah, it depends really on what

1357
02:02:17.039 --> 02:02:21.199
I'm eating before I get a takeaway. It's pretty much

1358
02:02:21.199 --> 02:02:27.600
at least twenty pound, if not more. As far as

1359
02:02:27.720 --> 02:02:30.399
like a takeaway food, whether it's a pizza, whether it's

1360
02:02:30.479 --> 02:02:39.399
a roast dinner, whether it's yeah whatever, it is really

1361
02:02:39.760 --> 02:02:41.000
looking at roughly twenty.

1362
02:02:42.199 --> 02:02:42.680
But then.

1363
02:02:48.399 --> 02:02:50.720
I mean, I guess most of my money really goes

1364
02:02:50.800 --> 02:02:56.439
on food. I mean there's priorities. You know, I got

1365
02:02:57.680 --> 02:03:05.680
the bills, so bill and food, and that's it. Really,

1366
02:03:05.760 --> 02:03:08.119
that's the two things I kind of prioritize on. And

1367
02:03:08.199 --> 02:03:10.960
I include you know, Vinnie's food as well in that

1368
02:03:11.680 --> 02:03:15.319
I get that delivered too, So yeah, that's kind of it.

1369
02:03:15.479 --> 02:03:17.960
That's really so I don't I guess I don't take

1370
02:03:18.000 --> 02:03:22.439
too much notice of how much things are. I'm more

1371
02:03:22.520 --> 02:03:25.359
interested in that I've got enough to cover how much

1372
02:03:25.560 --> 02:03:30.319
things are, if that makes any sense. Because I've got

1373
02:03:30.399 --> 02:03:34.560
direct debits for all of my bills, I don't have

1374
02:03:34.640 --> 02:03:37.680
to pay anything like I have to pay it, but

1375
02:03:37.760 --> 02:03:39.880
I don't have to kind of go and do anything.

1376
02:03:40.159 --> 02:03:43.399
It just automatically goes out of my account. We know

1377
02:03:43.720 --> 02:03:49.760
how direct debits work. All right, Wow, is it Sunday today,

1378
02:03:50.560 --> 02:03:54.239
isn't it? I just seem to be very sarcastic towards myself.

1379
02:03:55.319 --> 02:03:59.680
I'm in a sarcastic Sunday, So yeah, Jonathan, that's kind

1380
02:03:59.680 --> 02:03:59.800
of it.

1381
02:04:00.000 --> 02:04:00.560
Really, I just.

1382
02:04:02.640 --> 02:04:09.600
It depends what what is my You said typical days

1383
02:04:09.640 --> 02:04:16.159
meals consist of? You didn't say cost, did you. It's

1384
02:04:16.239 --> 02:04:18.000
because I've been out half a night. I'm not reading

1385
02:04:18.039 --> 02:04:20.960
it properly. What does the typical days meals and beverages

1386
02:04:21.079 --> 02:04:24.079
consist of? Not cost? You didn't ask me cost, But

1387
02:04:24.119 --> 02:04:32.439
I'm telling you the price of stuff I have in

1388
02:04:32.640 --> 02:04:40.000
more recent years. I be jay eating. I try and

1389
02:04:40.079 --> 02:04:44.560
have something cooked and a sandwich and maybe a couple

1390
02:04:44.640 --> 02:04:51.880
of bowls of breakfast cereal through the day water juice.

1391
02:04:51.960 --> 02:04:55.439
I've got it. If I don't have juice, and I

1392
02:04:55.520 --> 02:05:00.880
don't know water basically, and tea cuts it tea without sugar.

1393
02:05:08.439 --> 02:05:13.720
Sometimes I have regular takeaways. Sometimes I'll go without having

1394
02:05:13.760 --> 02:05:16.039
a takeaway for a little while, but you know, I

1395
02:05:16.159 --> 02:05:22.920
do get I haven't had one for over a week now,

1396
02:05:23.000 --> 02:05:27.960
which is a long time. But then I haven't really

1397
02:05:28.079 --> 02:05:29.880
been eating. I've been spend a lot of time in bed,

1398
02:05:30.000 --> 02:05:33.640
so I didn't really I couldn't face kind of doing it.

1399
02:05:33.760 --> 02:05:44.840
But yeah, I don't eat a huge amount really. I've

1400
02:05:44.920 --> 02:05:49.239
never been a big eater. I mean, I'm because I'm

1401
02:05:49.239 --> 02:05:51.199
a big eater because I'm eating and I'm big, but

1402
02:05:51.439 --> 02:05:55.479
I've never been a big consumer of food other than

1403
02:05:55.520 --> 02:06:01.479
when I am chocolate war Dean asks any sign of

1404
02:06:01.560 --> 02:06:04.199
new people moving in? I know that you said there

1405
02:06:04.279 --> 02:06:07.800
was a couple of empty places in your block. Well

1406
02:06:10.159 --> 02:06:14.960
it's weird because downstairs right the flat downstairs where my

1407
02:06:15.119 --> 02:06:17.199
friend used to live, and then a lady moved in

1408
02:06:17.800 --> 02:06:20.399
and she's moved out within a year of moving in there,

1409
02:06:23.439 --> 02:06:28.640
they're putting a new kitchen downstairs because apparently they like

1410
02:06:28.720 --> 02:06:31.359
to do it, and there's no one living there. I'd

1411
02:06:31.520 --> 02:06:36.800
like a new kitchen, please, can I? So they put

1412
02:06:36.840 --> 02:06:39.359
a new kitchen in. As far as I know this,

1413
02:06:39.479 --> 02:06:43.600
they're already started showing that flat out to people. The

1414
02:06:43.720 --> 02:06:50.359
flat opposite, which is Uncle's Sausages, they came last week

1415
02:06:50.760 --> 02:06:55.720
and I think it was last week. They emptied his

1416
02:06:55.880 --> 02:06:59.000
flat very quickly, and they were checking stuff out the

1417
02:06:59.079 --> 02:07:03.119
window into a not a skip, but it's like a

1418
02:07:05.039 --> 02:07:08.439
van with a kind of big metal cage on checking

1419
02:07:08.479 --> 02:07:14.399
stuff in there out of his window, which didn't sit

1420
02:07:14.479 --> 02:07:16.199
well with me, to be honest. It just seems a

1421
02:07:16.239 --> 02:07:22.359
bit disrespectful. But hey, and the painters have been in there.

1422
02:07:22.399 --> 02:07:25.720
The painting's been downstairs, so I think that one's nearly

1423
02:07:25.760 --> 02:07:27.840
ready to go as well, because all I had to

1424
02:07:27.880 --> 02:07:32.000
do is just sort out two rooms because both the

1425
02:07:32.119 --> 02:07:35.920
kitchen and the bathroom were brand new. The bathroom was

1426
02:07:36.000 --> 02:07:41.239
literally being built or rebuilt when Uncle's Sausages was in hospital.

1427
02:07:42.039 --> 02:07:46.560
He never got to see it finished, so there's probably

1428
02:07:46.640 --> 02:07:52.239
less for them to do in there. It's weird, really,

1429
02:07:54.960 --> 02:08:00.199
so I don't know really what's going to happen. There's

1430
02:08:00.199 --> 02:08:03.560
been people coming in and looking around, and I did

1431
02:08:03.680 --> 02:08:06.359
see the lady from the council coming in because she

1432
02:08:06.479 --> 02:08:09.159
got the key off me and she came in and

1433
02:08:09.279 --> 02:08:13.680
she was she had her board on her she was

1434
02:08:13.760 --> 02:08:17.479
going into of course sausages flat. So it looks like

1435
02:08:17.560 --> 02:08:21.319
that's ready to go nearly. So they've really pulled out

1436
02:08:21.319 --> 02:08:23.560
all the stops to get them done as quickly as possible,

1437
02:08:25.079 --> 02:08:30.039
to let them out as quick as possible. But when

1438
02:08:30.119 --> 02:08:33.039
people do move in, I'll let you know. But the

1439
02:08:33.159 --> 02:08:38.439
moment still both the flats are still empty that it

1440
02:08:38.680 --> 02:08:42.560
looks like, I mean, what is it now, September. I

1441
02:08:42.640 --> 02:08:47.000
wouldn't be surprised if, well, I'd say one hundred percent

1442
02:08:47.159 --> 02:08:54.119
they're both going to be full by Christmas. I wouldn't

1443
02:08:54.159 --> 02:08:58.199
be surprised if at least one of them isn't occupied

1444
02:08:58.880 --> 02:09:04.000
by the end of October, which is only well six

1445
02:09:04.079 --> 02:09:07.720
weeks away, so I wouldn't be surprised it alas be

1446
02:09:07.720 --> 02:09:11.680
surprised if both of them are occupied by like November.

1447
02:09:13.920 --> 02:09:16.039
It'd be lovely if it took six months or a year.

1448
02:09:16.840 --> 02:09:21.199
A little bit quiet, because you know, it's the thing

1449
02:09:21.319 --> 02:09:24.119
is these doors they slam if you don't if you

1450
02:09:24.159 --> 02:09:26.159
don't close and quietly, they just slam on their own,

1451
02:09:26.600 --> 02:09:30.520
which is kind of part of the fire regulation safety thing,

1452
02:09:30.600 --> 02:09:33.479
you know, But it's very noisy. And it shakes the

1453
02:09:33.520 --> 02:09:38.680
whole building when they slam because they're heavy doors. So

1454
02:09:40.680 --> 02:09:48.640
out of the six flats, two are empty. So I'm

1455
02:09:48.640 --> 02:09:51.039
going to start at the top of the building. Uncle's

1456
02:09:51.039 --> 02:09:56.640
sausages close his door quietly. His next door neighbor closes

1457
02:09:56.720 --> 02:10:01.439
the door quietly. I close my door quietly. Below me

1458
02:10:01.920 --> 02:10:07.640
closes their door quietly. The one opposite lets their door

1459
02:10:07.720 --> 02:10:12.239
slam continuously. They don't like, they're not aware of it.

1460
02:10:12.319 --> 02:10:14.600
They just let it slam, and it does shake. It

1461
02:10:14.680 --> 02:10:18.960
makes Vinnie bark and it shakes the building. The one

1462
02:10:19.039 --> 02:10:23.359
next door to that one used to let her door slam.

1463
02:10:26.960 --> 02:10:31.880
So I'm hoping that whoever moves in just doesn't it

1464
02:10:31.960 --> 02:10:36.920
the door slam, because then Vinnie's going to start, especially

1465
02:10:36.920 --> 02:10:40.479
if it's at night, he'll start barking. And if the

1466
02:10:40.520 --> 02:10:44.319
person lives in opposite me, let's say, door slam, it's

1467
02:10:44.399 --> 02:10:48.920
just going to be disruptive for me because it will

1468
02:10:48.960 --> 02:10:54.279
literally shake my flat. It's one of those things. The

1469
02:10:54.359 --> 02:10:59.199
building's not it's not like a flimsy building. It's not

1470
02:10:59.359 --> 02:11:03.680
made out of board, but it really you know that

1471
02:11:03.760 --> 02:11:10.039
all the flats are joined together, aren't they, And it

1472
02:11:10.199 --> 02:11:16.840
just seems and because everything echoes in the hallway, it

1473
02:11:16.880 --> 02:11:20.239
would seem natural that well, that someone wouldn't let the

1474
02:11:20.279 --> 02:11:24.600
door slam. Sometimes it's going to slam. My door slam sometimes,

1475
02:11:25.920 --> 02:11:27.760
you know, if I'm getting shopping in or something, and

1476
02:11:27.920 --> 02:11:32.319
sometimes it slams, but I don't. I just continuously let

1477
02:11:32.359 --> 02:11:36.319
it slam. I try and stop it. But once I

1478
02:11:36.439 --> 02:11:37.960
tried to stop it and I broke my heel, So

1479
02:11:38.039 --> 02:11:43.800
that wasn't so good. But other than that, because it

1480
02:11:44.079 --> 02:11:45.800
because it goes and you have to push it to

1481
02:11:45.960 --> 02:11:48.560
open it. So I was trying to stop it from slamming,

1482
02:11:48.680 --> 02:11:52.680
and it my heel got caught in between the door

1483
02:11:53.319 --> 02:11:57.840
and the doorfray in the bottom of the doorframe. H

1484
02:11:58.239 --> 02:12:03.399
I was limping around for about two months after that

1485
02:12:04.079 --> 02:12:08.840
was all painful. So yeah, I'm not sure, but it

1486
02:12:09.000 --> 02:12:14.520
looks like soon. Maria asks, have you ever fractured or

1487
02:12:14.560 --> 02:12:16.359
broken any bones? Is?

1488
02:12:16.479 --> 02:12:16.960
So? When?

1489
02:12:17.079 --> 02:12:22.479
And how? Thank you? Well? My favorite subject. It's not really.

1490
02:12:23.840 --> 02:12:24.359
I have.

1491
02:12:27.319 --> 02:12:29.680
I've probably broken more bones than I realized, but I

1492
02:12:29.760 --> 02:12:33.880
think all of us have potentially. I remember an expert

1493
02:12:33.960 --> 02:12:38.119
on toes well, I didn't speak to him personally, but

1494
02:12:38.199 --> 02:12:40.920
it was on the news or whatever. I think this

1495
02:12:41.239 --> 02:12:44.960
was during David Beckham pulled out the World Cup or

1496
02:12:45.000 --> 02:12:49.479
the European Cup because he had a broken toe and

1497
02:12:49.600 --> 02:12:52.880
people were mocking him. So, how can you pull out

1498
02:12:53.000 --> 02:12:58.640
such an important event with a little broken toe? Oh

1499
02:12:59.600 --> 02:13:03.920
you should hurting, David. Oh sorry, you're not getting paid

1500
02:13:04.039 --> 02:13:06.199
enough for not a million pounds of weeks? Not enough

1501
02:13:06.319 --> 02:13:08.359
is it for you to just endure a little bit

1502
02:13:08.399 --> 02:13:13.119
of oh oh the toe? And this expert was saying,

1503
02:13:13.239 --> 02:13:18.479
actually is acony. It's to kick a ball around with

1504
02:13:18.520 --> 02:13:21.119
a broken toe is the most ridiculous thing ever. It's

1505
02:13:21.239 --> 02:13:27.760
not something you can do. It's And also they said

1506
02:13:27.800 --> 02:13:32.000
that probably nearly everybody's had a broken toe without even realizing.

1507
02:13:32.800 --> 02:13:35.159
If you stump your toe quite often a little but

1508
02:13:35.319 --> 02:13:39.840
a bone breaks and we're in paining for weeks. It

1509
02:13:39.960 --> 02:13:44.039
gradually goes, but it's just, you know, it's just one

1510
02:13:44.039 --> 02:13:52.039
of those things. So the first real bone I remember

1511
02:13:53.920 --> 02:13:58.680
was I broke my right hand punching a piece of

1512
02:13:58.800 --> 02:14:05.439
frozen meat while a box of frozen meat. And yeah,

1513
02:14:06.159 --> 02:14:09.600
I had to go went to hospital and I basically

1514
02:14:12.399 --> 02:14:15.880
I pushed the bone. It was the second knuckle in

1515
02:14:16.000 --> 02:14:18.720
from my little knuckle on the right hand. It compressed

1516
02:14:18.760 --> 02:14:23.359
the bone right into itself, so I don't have a

1517
02:14:23.439 --> 02:14:29.359
knuckle on that hand. And oh that was weird because

1518
02:14:29.359 --> 02:14:37.720
I was twenty what was I twenty four twenty four?

1519
02:14:37.920 --> 02:14:42.760
What was I twenty three, twenty three, twenty four, something

1520
02:14:42.840 --> 02:14:49.199
like that, And so I had about five weeks off

1521
02:14:49.319 --> 02:14:58.039
work unpaid, which was difficult, and I had to learn

1522
02:14:58.039 --> 02:15:00.800
because I couldn't do the job because I I needed

1523
02:15:00.880 --> 02:15:03.119
my hands to do the job, do the manual work.

1524
02:15:05.840 --> 02:15:10.359
And it was so weird having to learn because there's

1525
02:15:10.359 --> 02:15:13.920
certain things I needed my right hand for because I

1526
02:15:13.960 --> 02:15:17.560
was right handed well pretty much everything like writing and that,

1527
02:15:17.720 --> 02:15:21.039
but it's like toilet stuff. I'm not going to this

1528
02:15:21.359 --> 02:15:25.239
very difficult learning to do stuff with my left hand.

1529
02:15:25.359 --> 02:15:30.359
I just felt so weird. It wasn't all bad, but

1530
02:15:30.479 --> 02:15:34.840
you know, just generally. And so that was the first time.

1531
02:15:36.119 --> 02:15:46.640
The second time I broke anything was I can't with you,

1532
02:15:46.960 --> 02:15:52.720
I can go through the bone. So I think two

1533
02:15:52.800 --> 02:15:56.640
thousand and four my rib when I was doing wing chun,

1534
02:16:00.239 --> 02:16:12.159
and then I, oh, yeah, I'm going to go. I

1535
02:16:12.239 --> 02:16:14.159
can't go through the different years. I can't remember, but

1536
02:16:14.560 --> 02:16:18.840
I'll do it by body part rather than yeah, I'm

1537
02:16:18.960 --> 02:16:22.359
starting in my head. I don't know what I've broken

1538
02:16:22.439 --> 02:16:25.600
in my face, I couldn't tell you. Maybe when I

1539
02:16:25.680 --> 02:16:30.840
was very young, but not that I can remember nothing

1540
02:16:30.880 --> 02:16:35.639
in my shoulders, my arms. I broke my left wrist

1541
02:16:36.639 --> 02:16:38.799
when I first moved in there. I fell out the bath,

1542
02:16:40.399 --> 02:16:43.760
so I broke my left wrist. I broke my right

1543
02:16:43.879 --> 02:16:48.920
hand twice. So the second time I punched the door,

1544
02:16:49.719 --> 02:16:55.879
and this was about six years ago. Hey, so I yeah,

1545
02:16:55.959 --> 02:17:03.159
broke my hand again. I've damage my left hand numerous times,

1546
02:17:03.920 --> 02:17:06.040
but I don't know about whether it's broken or not.

1547
02:17:06.799 --> 02:17:09.440
It might have been like a little crack or something,

1548
02:17:09.760 --> 02:17:17.399
you know, but not like proper. Broke broke my rib again.

1549
02:17:17.479 --> 02:17:21.319
So I've had my rib broken twice and my wrist

1550
02:17:21.399 --> 02:17:29.200
broken once. I had my right hand broken twice, broke

1551
02:17:29.520 --> 02:17:35.120
my toes a few different occasions, had broken toes, my

1552
02:17:35.239 --> 02:17:39.000
big toe at least twice, the top of my foot

1553
02:17:39.360 --> 02:17:45.760
at least once. My heel, now the heel, I didn't

1554
02:17:45.799 --> 02:17:49.120
go and get anything sorted, but I was hobbling around

1555
02:17:49.159 --> 02:17:51.719
for two months, so I think I broke something in

1556
02:17:51.799 --> 02:17:54.600
my heel as well, but or chipped the bone something

1557
02:17:54.639 --> 02:17:58.840
like that. And then I fell down the stairs a

1558
02:17:58.879 --> 02:18:01.760
couple of years back, fractured my back in two places.

1559
02:18:03.239 --> 02:18:07.520
That was the first week that I got Vinnie. It

1560
02:18:07.639 --> 02:18:12.319
was weird because it had snow, really solid snow settled

1561
02:18:12.440 --> 02:18:15.719
and everything. And I got Vinny that week and we

1562
02:18:16.399 --> 02:18:19.520
all week we was in the snow and I was

1563
02:18:19.600 --> 02:18:22.760
wearing my boots making sure I didn't fall over. I

1564
02:18:22.879 --> 02:18:24.799
slipped once, but it was in the snow and in

1565
02:18:24.879 --> 02:18:27.760
the fields. It didn't hurt because it was in the snow.

1566
02:18:27.959 --> 02:18:30.959
And he laughed at me, and I said, don't laugh.

1567
02:18:31.120 --> 02:18:33.040
Next time I'm going I'm going to land on you.

1568
02:18:34.159 --> 02:18:38.879
He stopped laughing then. And the last I think it

1569
02:18:38.959 --> 02:18:44.520
was a Wednesday, maybe it was a Thursday. It rained

1570
02:18:44.680 --> 02:18:51.799
and everything melted away. All the ice went, no snow,

1571
02:18:52.040 --> 02:18:55.559
not a sight. You couldn't see it had even been there,

1572
02:18:55.920 --> 02:19:04.600
like it didn't exist. And then Luke calls up. I

1573
02:19:04.680 --> 02:19:06.559
think he might have knocked on the door. He might

1574
02:19:06.600 --> 02:19:08.760
have wrung me up, I don't know. He said, I

1575
02:19:08.760 --> 02:19:10.600
would just want to bring Vinnie down in the garden

1576
02:19:10.680 --> 02:19:13.719
and play with LOGI. I said, all right. This was

1577
02:19:13.840 --> 02:19:16.879
like nine o'clock or something. He was I think he

1578
02:19:17.000 --> 02:19:20.000
was more excited about Vinnie than I was. So Luke

1579
02:19:20.239 --> 02:19:24.639
was downstairs At this point, I let Vinnie out and

1580
02:19:24.719 --> 02:19:28.159
he ran downstairs into the garden to play with LOGI

1581
02:19:30.479 --> 02:19:36.760
I come down. I got my crocs on, but I

1582
02:19:36.799 --> 02:19:41.479
did put my coat on because it was cold, and

1583
02:19:42.239 --> 02:19:45.120
Luke was standing in the bottom of the stairs. I

1584
02:19:45.239 --> 02:19:46.959
was just talking to him as I was like getting

1585
02:19:46.959 --> 02:19:49.680
ready to come down, and I think I got down

1586
02:19:49.680 --> 02:19:55.799
about two steps or three steps, and I went and

1587
02:19:56.079 --> 02:20:03.319
I bounced down the hole of the staircase deady. It's

1588
02:20:03.399 --> 02:20:06.120
not like it's concrete steps, it's not like big, not

1589
02:20:06.319 --> 02:20:10.120
loads of steps, but it was enough. And Luke was

1590
02:20:10.200 --> 02:20:15.200
laughing because he didn't not hurt myself. He said, it

1591
02:20:15.239 --> 02:20:18.200
was so funny to watch just you bouncing off of

1592
02:20:18.280 --> 02:20:21.959
each step and a look on your face because it

1593
02:20:22.120 --> 02:20:25.879
happened so quick. I didn't really I didn't really know

1594
02:20:25.959 --> 02:20:29.000
what was going on. To be fair, I didn't. I

1595
02:20:29.000 --> 02:20:33.280
couldn't really process it because it was so quick. One

1596
02:20:33.360 --> 02:20:35.239
minute I was standing there, next minute I was at

1597
02:20:35.280 --> 02:20:38.680
the bottom of the stairs, having been on a really,

1598
02:20:38.959 --> 02:20:44.079
really weird roller coaster. Well it wasn't a roller coaster.

1599
02:20:44.120 --> 02:20:45.520
It was falling down the stairs, but you know what

1600
02:20:45.559 --> 02:20:48.680
I mean. It was a kind of very strange experience.

1601
02:20:50.559 --> 02:21:00.719
So he's laughing, I'm not feeling great, and I mean

1602
02:21:01.079 --> 02:21:02.959
it ended up that I had had a fracture back

1603
02:21:03.040 --> 02:21:06.000
in two places. So I mentioned, you know, I wasn't

1604
02:21:07.399 --> 02:21:12.040
my back wasn't feeling wonderful and I couldn't get up.

1605
02:21:12.120 --> 02:21:13.520
I needed his help to get up.

1606
02:21:15.319 --> 02:21:15.399
And.

1607
02:21:18.040 --> 02:21:20.120
He was He said I needed to go to the hospital,

1608
02:21:20.879 --> 02:21:24.040
and I said, nah, I'll be all right. But I

1609
02:21:24.040 --> 02:21:26.520
couldn't sit down, I couldn't stand up. I couldn't do anything.

1610
02:21:26.559 --> 02:21:26.920
It was just.

1611
02:21:28.520 --> 02:21:32.520
I knew something was broke, just for the simple fact

1612
02:21:32.559 --> 02:21:35.959
that well, I felt it. But at the same time

1613
02:21:36.079 --> 02:21:39.360
I thought, no, I don't. I can't face being in

1614
02:21:39.479 --> 02:21:44.559
a in the hospital for the next twelve hours thirty

1615
02:21:44.840 --> 02:21:46.680
I think it was thirteen and a half hours I

1616
02:21:46.799 --> 02:21:51.559
was in there. But he said, yeah, but what if

1617
02:21:51.639 --> 02:21:56.479
you got internal, something internal happened, you know, outside of

1618
02:21:58.360 --> 02:22:00.760
something else, you know, might say you might be serious.

1619
02:22:00.840 --> 02:22:04.280
So if you wanted to come with me, I said, no,

1620
02:22:04.680 --> 02:22:07.440
it's all right, I'll just get a taxi in. He

1621
02:22:07.600 --> 02:22:08.840
looked after Vinnie.

1622
02:22:12.559 --> 02:22:12.959
And yeah.

1623
02:22:13.680 --> 02:22:17.760
The doctor even said, oh, no, can't be fractured when

1624
02:22:17.799 --> 02:22:20.680
he eventually sort of saw me. So he can't be fractured.

1625
02:22:20.719 --> 02:22:23.879
Because it was fractured. You be in agony. I said

1626
02:22:23.920 --> 02:22:27.600
that I'm what do you think I'm in? He said, no,

1627
02:22:27.719 --> 02:22:29.040
you won't be able to You won't be able to

1628
02:22:29.079 --> 02:22:31.760
stand up if you had if you had a fracture

1629
02:22:31.799 --> 02:22:35.000
in your back, you'reon be able to stand up. He said,

1630
02:22:35.000 --> 02:22:36.799
I'm going to give you an extra anyway with a

1631
02:22:36.879 --> 02:22:39.680
cat scan. And then he came back. He said, yeah,

1632
02:22:39.680 --> 02:22:44.159
it's fractured in two places. He said, I don't know

1633
02:22:44.200 --> 02:22:47.840
how you can stand up. I said, sitting down's worst,

1634
02:22:47.920 --> 02:22:53.920
and standing up it's hers more than I sit down.

1635
02:22:54.280 --> 02:22:56.600
I've just spent the last twelve hours, twelve and a

1636
02:22:56.600 --> 02:23:03.239
half hours sitting down. Standing up was relief, but then

1637
02:23:03.280 --> 02:23:05.079
it started hurting the game and on standing up, but

1638
02:23:05.680 --> 02:23:08.079
it was relief compared to sitting down for such a

1639
02:23:08.159 --> 02:23:16.959
long time, which oh so yeah. So what I've got?

1640
02:23:17.200 --> 02:23:24.600
I think so my knuckles and I guess I've got

1641
02:23:24.680 --> 02:23:31.360
two hands to my right hand twice, my wrist once,

1642
02:23:32.600 --> 02:23:41.079
my ribs twice two different times, and my foot the

1643
02:23:41.200 --> 02:23:45.239
top of my foot once and my big toe at

1644
02:23:45.319 --> 02:23:50.479
least twice. Yeah, and the heel. I don't know, but

1645
02:23:50.600 --> 02:23:53.520
that's the breaks I've had. There's a few little breaks

1646
02:23:54.200 --> 02:24:00.239
along the way, But I suppose the the scaries one

1647
02:24:00.280 --> 02:24:02.159
would be when I fell out the bath, to be honest,

1648
02:24:03.399 --> 02:24:06.639
because I hurt my shoulder and I couldn't I couldn't

1649
02:24:06.680 --> 02:24:10.440
get up. I was on my own and I was well,

1650
02:24:11.319 --> 02:24:13.719
everything was out. You know, I was naked, so it

1651
02:24:13.840 --> 02:24:22.159
wasn't an ideal situation. But when I fell down the stairs,

1652
02:24:24.680 --> 02:24:25.920
but at least I had a T shirt on the

1653
02:24:25.959 --> 02:24:30.479
rest of me, I was naked, and then I was

1654
02:24:30.600 --> 02:24:33.719
when I was at work. Yeah, pretty much was naked

1655
02:24:33.840 --> 02:24:39.799
most places most times. It's weird, isn't it. Well, we

1656
02:24:39.920 --> 02:24:41.799
weren't all naked. I mean, it's not a bad thing,

1657
02:24:41.920 --> 02:24:45.079
is It's not. It's not an awful state of undress? Really,

1658
02:24:45.200 --> 02:24:49.680
is it. It's natural. It doesn't hold up in court though,

1659
02:24:51.360 --> 02:24:55.440
doesn't stand up in court. Wow. So yeah, I've had

1660
02:24:55.479 --> 02:25:02.399
a few, a few little knocks around, but probably other

1661
02:25:02.479 --> 02:25:04.799
than like falling out the bath, that was not good.

1662
02:25:04.879 --> 02:25:13.040
But the stairs one that was, Yeah, that's probably the worst,

1663
02:25:13.440 --> 02:25:15.799
the worst. I don't know, none of them were nice,

1664
02:25:15.879 --> 02:25:21.079
but that was you know, sitting down, standing up whatever.

1665
02:25:21.159 --> 02:25:23.760
It was just it took a long time for that

1666
02:25:23.920 --> 02:25:30.559
to calm itself. Down. Yeah, that was weird.

1667
02:25:30.680 --> 02:25:31.040
That was.

1668
02:25:35.479 --> 02:25:37.239
Yeah. Since then, I've had a few problems with my

1669
02:25:37.319 --> 02:25:39.920
upper back. I don't know if it's to do with that,

1670
02:25:43.879 --> 02:25:48.840
almost like a misalignment or something. I don't know. I

1671
02:25:49.000 --> 02:25:56.719
don't know. I don't know that Maria. So that's I

1672
02:25:56.840 --> 02:26:03.040
thank you for Maria, Christine, Jonathan, Reveal, Isabelle, and Hope.

1673
02:26:04.719 --> 02:26:06.600
Thank you very much. That's all the questions I do

1674
02:26:06.760 --> 02:26:11.639
believe I've answered in this here particular Q and A Friday,

1675
02:26:12.399 --> 02:26:17.319
and Vinnie knows straight away I'm bringing this to an end.

1676
02:26:17.639 --> 02:26:22.159
He always knows. How does he always know? I don't know.

1677
02:26:26.120 --> 02:26:30.200
So yeah, thank you for listening. Remember to be kind

1678
02:26:30.239 --> 02:26:36.520
to yourself, because you do deserve to be happy and

1679
02:26:36.600 --> 02:26:43.040
be gentle with yourself. You deserve to feel safe, lots

1680
02:26:43.079 --> 02:27:03.280
of love. Bye. Relax in a more deep and meaningful way,

1681
02:27:05.760 --> 02:27:10.760
Maybe in a way that can not just allow you

1682
02:27:11.319 --> 02:27:21.280
to feel calmer now and throughout the time we spend

1683
02:27:21.399 --> 02:27:29.319
together here, not just relaxed at the end of the

1684
02:27:29.440 --> 02:27:34.760
recording when it's finished and you can enjoy that sense

1685
02:27:34.920 --> 02:27:51.520
of comfort and peace, but also I think it would

1686
02:27:51.559 --> 02:28:08.040
be nice to have those feelings of relaxation continue for longer.

1687
02:28:11.719 --> 02:28:21.520
After the recording has ended, so that you can still

1688
02:28:22.200 --> 02:28:32.040
benefit from listening to my voice maybe in a few

1689
02:28:32.120 --> 02:28:47.920
hours time, perhaps tomorrow, and then by listening regularly, especially

1690
02:28:47.959 --> 02:28:52.440
if you find like some people do and myself as well.

1691
02:28:52.600 --> 02:28:59.559
I sometimes I find one particular recording that really resonates

1692
02:28:59.639 --> 02:29:05.959
with me, and I just listened to it over and

1693
02:29:06.079 --> 02:29:19.440
over again every morning, every evening. There was this recording

1694
02:29:19.719 --> 02:29:26.000
from We're going back to about nineteen ninety nine. It

1695
02:29:26.159 --> 02:29:31.319
was it wasn't hypnosis, but it was a guided visualizations.

1696
02:29:31.440 --> 02:29:38.360
It kind of was hypnosis, really, and I managed to

1697
02:29:38.479 --> 02:29:41.959
find it again and it still has the same effect

1698
02:29:42.520 --> 02:29:51.680
on me. And part of it was the person's voice

1699
02:29:54.520 --> 02:30:04.079
relaxed me, just felt so so peaceful, and I'd look

1700
02:30:04.319 --> 02:30:11.239
forward to listening to her in the morning and in

1701
02:30:11.319 --> 02:30:22.600
the evening. And I knew before even pressing the play

1702
02:30:22.680 --> 02:30:30.840
button that since I've done that, pressed the play button.

1703
02:30:31.639 --> 02:30:42.600
This is in the days of CD players, pressed the

1704
02:30:42.680 --> 02:30:48.399
play button, ifact it might have even been a tape

1705
02:30:48.840 --> 02:30:52.840
tape recorder. I'd lie down on the bed and then

1706
02:30:58.319 --> 02:31:11.079
even without nest necessarily listening to her words because I

1707
02:31:11.239 --> 02:31:18.680
had to memorized. Really, it was as if my body

1708
02:31:20.639 --> 02:31:34.040
knew exactly what to do, and the muscles just almost

1709
02:31:34.159 --> 02:31:54.520
went into automatic relaxation, and I remember my mind would

1710
02:31:54.600 --> 02:31:55.200
slow down.

1711
02:32:00.840 --> 02:32:01.040
Now.

1712
02:32:03.239 --> 02:32:09.879
Now, I was listening to this recording in the early

1713
02:32:10.040 --> 02:32:17.799
days of learning hypnosis, and long before I ever made

1714
02:32:18.399 --> 02:32:25.680
any videos or audio recordings myself, because I didn't start

1715
02:32:25.760 --> 02:32:39.479
doing that till two thousand and six, I knew, I

1716
02:32:39.639 --> 02:32:53.079
knew how helpful I found being able to just let go,

1717
02:32:56.159 --> 02:33:09.479
to have that trust person that I'm listening to, knowing

1718
02:33:09.600 --> 02:33:17.440
that it's going to be just as relaxing, if not

1719
02:33:17.680 --> 02:33:26.959
more so. Each time you hear my voice, you may

1720
02:33:27.040 --> 02:33:38.600
feel the same. Some people have been listening to me

1721
02:33:38.879 --> 02:33:52.760
for over a decade, maybe not solidly, obviously not twenty

1722
02:33:52.799 --> 02:34:00.680
four hours a day, but maybe people come back. Some

1723
02:34:00.840 --> 02:34:14.440
people may be listen every day. That's something that I

1724
02:34:15.719 --> 02:34:31.719
do which you may not realize by listening, is when

1725
02:34:32.040 --> 02:34:47.479
I record these recordings. Now, for example, I also am

1726
02:34:47.760 --> 02:34:58.639
affected by the words that I say. So if I

1727
02:35:01.600 --> 02:35:08.920
said to you, focus on your feet, notice your feet relaxing,

1728
02:35:12.440 --> 02:35:20.159
I will be focusing on my feet. I will be

1729
02:35:20.479 --> 02:35:38.520
noticing my feet relaxing. If I said, focus on your hands,

1730
02:35:41.360 --> 02:35:50.879
and maybe notice the difference between each hand, Perhaps notice

1731
02:35:51.000 --> 02:35:57.040
the air in the room, the temperature of the room.

1732
02:35:58.920 --> 02:36:09.280
On the backs of your hands, you may start to

1733
02:36:09.879 --> 02:36:17.920
notice what almost feels like a very light breeze, even

1734
02:36:18.000 --> 02:36:22.200
though there may not be any type of breeze at

1735
02:36:22.280 --> 02:36:35.200
all where you are right now. And as you become

1736
02:36:35.920 --> 02:36:50.280
aware of your hands, I'm also aware of how relaxed

1737
02:36:50.600 --> 02:37:14.319
my hands are feeling now and when it comes to

1738
02:37:15.879 --> 02:37:21.920
potentially drifting off to sleep, which may be the reason

1739
02:37:22.239 --> 02:37:38.440
you're listening, I also feel drowsy when I make these recordings.

1740
02:37:43.200 --> 02:37:59.600
I also notice my mind drifting. In fact, at times

1741
02:38:01.680 --> 02:38:15.799
I've actually fallen asleep without even noticing, and then I

1742
02:38:16.000 --> 02:38:27.280
carry on talking. And it's only when I listen back

1743
02:38:27.520 --> 02:38:36.440
to do the editing I hear snoring, and I think,

1744
02:38:36.920 --> 02:38:46.680
I don't remember snoring. I remember talking. It was snoring.

1745
02:38:47.040 --> 02:38:53.719
Was a pig turned up. That's why I sound like

1746
02:38:53.840 --> 02:39:04.879
when I snore, I get read into the whole experience.

1747
02:39:12.879 --> 02:39:22.319
I don't know how you feel, how relaxed you feel

1748
02:39:22.360 --> 02:39:32.920
in your feet, how relaxed you feel in your hands.

1749
02:39:48.040 --> 02:40:00.000
I have noticed more and more that the more relaxed,

1750
02:40:02.000 --> 02:40:17.760
deeper level of comfort you feel, the easier your breathing becomes.

1751
02:40:24.360 --> 02:40:41.000
It's almost like that additional muscle relaxation. So this allows

1752
02:40:41.079 --> 02:41:12.159
you to breathe easier without necessarily focusing on your breath, however,

1753
02:41:12.440 --> 02:41:41.159
being able to notice the ease in which you breathe

1754
02:41:41.399 --> 02:42:31.200
so naturally, you breathe so very easily and smoothly. Whenever

1755
02:42:31.360 --> 02:42:49.680
I imagine my breathing improving, when I've got my eyes closed,

1756
02:42:55.680 --> 02:43:08.600
I tend to visualize a beautiful field with trees and

1757
02:43:08.840 --> 02:43:42.840
flowers producing all that life giving oxygen. It feels nice

1758
02:43:49.079 --> 02:44:09.799
two if nothing else, just taking some time away from everything,

1759
02:44:21.120 --> 02:44:53.639
enjoying that feeling of peace serenity with a joyful heart.

1760
02:45:19.040 --> 02:45:44.479
Time seems to just drip by, so very slowly, relaxed,

1761
02:45:50.399 --> 02:46:29.559
so deeply peaceful, completely unattached to any thoughts whatsoever in

1762
02:46:29.719 --> 02:47:34.079
this moment, completely free, noticing that your mind has slowed down.

1763
02:47:42.399 --> 02:48:29.079
Slowed down because nothing really requires your attention, you can

1764
02:48:29.360 --> 02:48:45.479
enjoy the physical sensations of allowing the stress to rip

1765
02:48:46.239 --> 02:48:59.440
out of your body, to appear out of every pa

1766
02:49:06.000 --> 02:49:31.200
of your body being released from your brain in your mind,

1767
02:49:49.840 --> 02:50:39.239
slowly but surely, the muscle thing legs RELs rs so

1768
02:50:39.760 --> 02:51:20.600
very deeply, res so deeply, and the feelings, the pleasant

1769
02:51:20.840 --> 02:51:45.600
feelings in your arms and shoulders, deepening each part of

1770
02:51:45.719 --> 02:52:27.319
your body further and deeper and deeper. Noticine, the feelings

1771

02:53:30.079 --> 02:54:07.319

1774
02:55:05.200 --> 02:55:25.079

In spy from your brain all the way down the

1779
02:58:44.000 --> 02:58:54.639
middle of your back, sending and receiving millions of messages

02:58:55.399 --> 03:00:26.879
every day, decomfort increasing deeply relaxed uns, legs, spreading those

1781
03:00:27.120 --> 03:00:36.280

of your body, your shins and your calf, muscles, your elbows,

03:09:45.239 --> 03:09:52.799

your body, just to notice a fool head and your

1792

Your body feels almost invisible, so very relaxed. I'm peaceful,

1800
03:20:29.399 --> 03:21:38.719
so Paci relax YEH likes And you could start to

1801
03:21:39.000 --> 03:21:48.520
notice that you are feeling more relaxed, even though I've

1802
03:21:48.879 --> 03:22:00.559
not purposely focused your mind upon that sense of physical

1803
03:22:00.840 --> 03:22:08.639
comfort that is growing within you throughout your body, and

1804
03:22:08.799 --> 03:22:18.360
your mind starts to slow down. And that could be

1805
03:22:19.120 --> 03:22:27.040
almost in recognition of I guess my speech not being

1806
03:22:27.319 --> 03:22:44.440
particularly fast, and things just generally feel calmer. Just by

1807
03:22:45.479 --> 03:22:54.600
listening to my voice, you give yourself an opportunity to

1808
03:22:54.719 --> 03:23:00.639
take a break from the day, take a break from

1809
03:23:01.399 --> 03:23:08.639
your life as it is, and to give yourself a rest,

1810
03:23:11.280 --> 03:23:18.559
giving yourself permission to take some time off, and to

1811
03:23:18.680 --> 03:23:24.600
allow your body to relax and allow your mind to

1812
03:23:24.760 --> 03:23:36.120
slow down, which in turn releases the tension and he

1813
03:23:36.319 --> 03:23:45.200
stresses that you had in your body. It's almost as

1814
03:23:45.239 --> 03:23:51.079
if the parts of your body just open up, allowing

1815
03:23:51.159 --> 03:24:04.079
the negativity out and the same time replacing that negativity

1816
03:24:04.280 --> 03:24:13.159
with positive heathing energy which then fills your body up

1817
03:24:14.559 --> 03:24:26.639
and your mind to also starts to appreciate those feelings

1818
03:24:26.840 --> 03:24:47.040
of increasing confidence, an almost uplifting feeling, positive healing, an

1819
03:24:47.280 --> 03:24:58.559
energy that spreads through your body like a wave of comfort,

1820
03:25:03.399 --> 03:25:13.639
and all this comes and just allowing yourself a few minutes,

1821
03:25:15.520 --> 03:25:18.520
maybe half an hour, however long you want it to be,

1822
03:25:20.040 --> 03:25:31.920
to just rest and allow your mind and your body

1823
03:25:34.200 --> 03:25:50.959
to almost reset itself to the settings of comfort and relaxation, calmness,

1824
03:25:55.239 --> 03:26:04.559
which allows more room for feelings of pleasure and happiness

1825
03:26:08.639 --> 03:26:17.440
to move around your body and into your mind, almost

1826
03:26:18.239 --> 03:26:22.840
as if your mind and your body are sinking together,

1827
03:26:27.120 --> 03:26:36.799
almost mirroring each other, with that growing positivity and calmness,

1828
03:26:41.879 --> 03:26:49.079
and it feels nice. It really does feel nice to

1829
03:26:49.280 --> 03:26:54.959
know that you are the one that has allowed yourself

1830
03:26:58.440 --> 03:27:10.639
to feel more comfort and to experience more at this

1831
03:27:12.440 --> 03:27:27.600
deep relaxation spreading throughout your body, and as I focus

1832
03:27:29.200 --> 03:27:34.920
on each part of your body, you can notice that

1833
03:27:35.159 --> 03:27:49.680
that part becomes even more relaxed just by focusing on it.

1834
03:27:52.239 --> 03:28:01.879
It becomes even more calm and comfortable, just by focusing.

1835
03:28:05.920 --> 03:28:11.680
And as I move down your body, starting at your head,

1836
03:28:14.399 --> 03:28:21.079
the parts that you've already focused on will continue to

1837
03:28:21.280 --> 03:28:28.920
relax deeply, and those parts that we've not yet focused

1838
03:28:28.959 --> 03:28:42.280
on or just automatically release any remaining tension in anticipation

1839
03:28:42.719 --> 03:28:55.760
of even more comfort about to come. Now, I'm going

1840
03:28:55.799 --> 03:29:02.719
to start by focusing on your forehead. Just being aware

1841
03:29:03.040 --> 03:29:11.639
of the feelings of your forehead and any background sounds

1842
03:29:13.440 --> 03:29:18.280
like mister Herbert the pigeon can just allow you to

1843
03:29:18.479 --> 03:29:25.680
feel even more relaxed. Just means you're in the moment.

1844
03:29:28.840 --> 03:29:34.200
This isn't this isn't a sterile environment. This is the world.

1845
03:29:37.639 --> 03:29:43.680
I live in the countryside, so there's lots of nature

1846
03:29:44.200 --> 03:29:54.680
sounds around. So as you focus on your forehead, just

1847
03:29:54.959 --> 03:30:05.399
notice how it becomes even more relaxed. You focus only

1848
03:30:05.719 --> 03:30:15.040
on my voice and that part of your body. Moving

1849
03:30:15.239 --> 03:30:25.680
down to your eyes, focusing on your eyes, noticing how

1850
03:30:28.159 --> 03:30:35.280
your eyelids feel so heavy yet so light at the

1851
03:30:35.479 --> 03:30:45.159
same time, and all the muscles around your eyes relaxing completely.

1852
03:30:49.879 --> 03:30:57.479
Moving your focus down to your mouth, your lips, your tongue,

1853
03:30:58.760 --> 03:31:03.760
your teeth, and your calor mums, the whole of your

1854
03:31:03.840 --> 03:31:19.239
mouth relaxing, calm and loose as you focus now on

1855
03:31:19.479 --> 03:31:26.399
your jaw, not just the parts of your jaw near

1856
03:31:26.479 --> 03:31:31.639
your mouth, your chin, but all the way up the

1857
03:31:31.840 --> 03:31:38.399
size of your face to your ears, the hole of

1858
03:31:38.559 --> 03:32:06.079
your jaw feeding more, relaxed and calm. Focusing on your neck,

1859
03:32:08.760 --> 03:32:14.600
the front of your neck and your throat, relaxing and

1860
03:32:16.079 --> 03:32:26.520
loose and calm. The sides of your neck, the right

1861
03:32:26.719 --> 03:32:39.639
and left side of your neck relax and lease and calm.

1862
03:32:46.000 --> 03:32:52.680
And now the back of your neck, focusing on the

1863
03:32:52.959 --> 03:33:03.360
back of your neck, letting go of any tension that

1864
03:33:03.559 --> 03:33:12.440
may have been there before, and enjoying that sense of

1865
03:33:13.479 --> 03:33:24.079
increasing comfort and release that you can experience in the

1866
03:33:24.239 --> 03:33:36.479
back of your neck. Moving down your back and moving

1867
03:33:36.719 --> 03:33:41.079
either side of your spine right from the top of

1868
03:33:41.159 --> 03:33:46.680
your back all the way down to the bottom of

1869
03:33:46.799 --> 03:34:03.760
your back down to your lower back, and as you

1870
03:34:04.000 --> 03:34:11.319
move up and down your spine, you can feel the

1871
03:34:11.520 --> 03:34:26.559
muscles either side of your spine relaxing even more. And

1872
03:34:26.719 --> 03:34:33.440
as those muscles relax, that sense of comfort starts to

1873
03:34:33.639 --> 03:34:44.040
spread outwards from your spine into both sides of your back,

1874
03:34:47.840 --> 03:34:51.520
the top of your back, the middle, and your lower back.

1875
03:34:55.079 --> 03:35:02.200
And as you scan gently and slow up and down

1876
03:35:02.399 --> 03:35:07.440
your back, there's the muscles in the top of your

1877
03:35:07.559 --> 03:35:17.479
back relax and become looser. The muscles in the middle

1878
03:35:17.559 --> 03:35:24.840
of your back also seem to just almost divide from

1879
03:35:24.920 --> 03:35:38.319
each other, separating and almost melting, And in your lower

1880
03:35:38.440 --> 03:35:49.959
back there seems to be an extra special feeling of comfort.

1881
03:35:55.239 --> 03:36:01.959
The spreads into your hips, down your lower backet into

1882
03:36:02.000 --> 03:36:13.280
your hips, into the area where your cosicks are, and

1883
03:36:13.440 --> 03:36:22.360
into your buttocks, and all those muscles that spread from

1884
03:36:22.440 --> 03:36:31.920
your lower back into your hip area start to melt,

1885
03:36:36.360 --> 03:36:48.680
start to really let go. I don't even know where about.

1886
03:36:48.840 --> 03:36:54.840
To focus on your shoulders. Your back and your spine

1887
03:36:55.879 --> 03:37:12.639
will continue to let go. Yeah, continue to relax so calmly.

1888
03:37:17.360 --> 03:37:22.280
And as you focus on your shoulders, you may notice

1889
03:37:22.520 --> 03:37:46.639
that they're already feeling really loose. They're already feeding, calm

1890
03:37:53.000 --> 03:38:05.719
and fearing. Those muscles. The move from your neck into

1891
03:38:05.799 --> 03:38:31.200
your shoulders feel so soft and gentle, so smooth and calm,

1892
03:38:42.559 --> 03:38:55.120
and the feeling in your shoulders seems to spread deep

1893
03:38:55.399 --> 03:39:02.360
into your shoulders, that sense of reaction vexation, not just

1894
03:39:04.600 --> 03:39:16.840
traveling deeply into your muscles, but also relaxing the bones

1895
03:39:22.879 --> 03:39:29.479
and moving all the way to underneath your arms, relaxing

1896
03:39:31.319 --> 03:39:36.120
that whole area between the tops of your shoulders and

1897
03:39:36.360 --> 03:39:37.559
underneath your arms.

1898
03:39:41.879 --> 03:39:42.600
He Then.

1899
03:39:47.799 --> 03:40:00.879
You feel so relaxed and comfortable in your shoulders, which

1900
03:40:01.120 --> 03:40:22.959
sends that deep healing message into your arms. And you

1901
03:40:23.120 --> 03:40:28.840
may feel almost as if your arms are not even there,

1902
03:40:30.360 --> 03:40:52.239
because they're so relaxed, so deeply relaxed, so so calm,

1903
03:41:07.360 --> 03:41:28.479
so poose, not feeling spreading all the way down your

1904
03:41:28.920 --> 03:41:57.959
arms two elbows, including your elbows circumfort spreads or away

03:53:56.120 --> 03:54:02.079
So I'm gonna start counting down now from twenty down

1920
03:54:02.159 --> 03:54:10.280
to one. You can imagine in a way it's like

1921
03:54:11.079 --> 03:54:17.520
just walking down some steps and each step or twenty steps,

1922
03:54:17.600 --> 03:54:26.719
and each step represents a level of comfort. Each step

1923
03:54:27.239 --> 03:54:42.799
represents a deepening of that comfort and the furvies you

1924
03:54:42.959 --> 03:54:48.239
walk down those steps that are deeper and more relaxed,

1925

And now.

1931
04:15:40.360 --> 04:15:53.000
As you focus on your eyes, We're gonna count down

1932
04:15:53.440 --> 04:16:04.559
from ten douts one. Focus in just on your eyes,

1933
04:16:08.319 --> 04:16:16.799
your eyelids, the muscles around your eyes, your eye wolves themselves,

1934
04:16:18.319 --> 04:16:35.360
a whole area that makes up your eye. And as

1935
04:16:35.440 --> 04:16:43.799
we count down from ten down to one, whilst focus

1936
04:16:43.920 --> 04:16:58.959
in on your eyes, you'll become twice is relaxed with

1937
04:16:59.319 --> 04:17:08.079
each number counting down, and you may find.

1938
04:17:11.879 --> 04:17:14.479
The all you want to do is just.

1939
04:17:16.479 --> 04:17:23.639
Drift off to sleep. And if that's what you want,

1940
04:17:26.680 --> 04:17:39.680
then just allow yourself to do that. Now, focusing on

1941
04:17:39.840 --> 04:17:47.120
your eyes, I'm going to begin counting down from ten

1942
04:17:47.520 --> 04:20:00.200
down to one right now, two nine eight seven u

1943
04:20:20.280 --> 04:23:12.120
u u five four.

1944
04:24:25.200 --> 04:26:01.159
Three two.

1945
04:25:57.440 --> 04:26:27.600
Hush us.

1946
04:26:36.680 --> 04:27:00.360
Us mhm.

1947
04:27:05.959 --> 04:27:22.559
So counting down from ten to one ten nine eight

1948
04:27:25.440 --> 04:27:36.760
seven six five four three.

1949
04:27:39.360 --> 04:27:42.479
Two one.

1950
04:27:49.520 --> 04:27:52.399
And maybe that was a bit too quick in order

1951
04:27:52.479 --> 04:27:56.399
to relax. Maybe it's a bit too fast for you

1952
04:27:56.760 --> 04:28:06.440
to notice the calming of your body, maybe even a

1953
04:28:06.479 --> 04:28:10.040
little bit of pressure there, Like you're count it down

1954
04:28:10.120 --> 04:28:13.079
from ten to one. What do you expect me to do? Man,

1955
04:28:14.000 --> 04:28:18.559
expect me to stick go floppy just because you're counting down.

1956
04:28:24.159 --> 04:28:27.440
If you try it again, but this time, I go

1957
04:28:27.639 --> 04:28:34.959
this lower. This time, as you focus on the whole

1958
04:28:35.079 --> 04:28:41.319
of your body before we focus on your legs, just

1959
04:28:41.559 --> 04:28:51.559
notice how your body does start to feel more relaxed.

1960
04:28:56.319 --> 04:29:31.159
With every number that I count ten nine, eight, seven, six,

1961
04:29:39.600 --> 04:29:58.479
five four three.

1962
04:30:11.799 --> 04:30:46.200
Two one, And just notice how.

1963
04:30:48.399 --> 04:30:57.840
How you feel, generally, how your body feels. It's not

1964
04:30:58.040 --> 04:31:09.040
necessarily even about counting down from ten to one. It's

1965
04:31:09.120 --> 04:31:26.280
that space that you have, that space between being active

1966
04:31:28.639 --> 04:31:38.159
physically or mentally to just sitting or lying down, just

1967
04:31:38.399 --> 04:31:44.280
being there, not doing anything, not saying anything, not needing

1968
04:31:44.559 --> 04:31:50.000
to think about anything. So it opens up a space,

1969
04:31:51.000 --> 04:32:00.159
you know, a bit of a space, a gap. And

1970
04:32:00.280 --> 04:32:04.840
the more I coumpt down from ten to one, the

1971
04:32:04.920 --> 04:32:12.879
bigger that gap becomes. So there's that gap of calmness,

1972
04:32:14.280 --> 04:32:29.959
of comfort, relaxation. It's a nice feeling, and it moves

1973
04:32:31.520 --> 04:32:41.440
those stresses or discomforts physically or emotionally, moves them away.

1974
04:32:48.239 --> 04:32:49.200
Allows you.

1975
04:32:51.879 --> 04:32:52.399
To just.

1976
04:32:55.399 --> 04:33:02.120
Slow down, someone to count again from ten down to one,

1977
04:33:02.559 --> 04:33:12.759
and notice that gap widening, the gap, and as it widens,

1978
04:33:12.840 --> 04:33:19.200
it's almost like the stress and attention falls into the gap.

1979
04:33:32.680 --> 04:34:29.000
It gives you that distance, that space. Now ten nine eight, seven, six, five.

1980
04:34:39.880 --> 04:34:58.959
Four three.

1981
04:35:15.080 --> 04:35:33.959
Two one.

1982
04:35:45.479 --> 04:35:46.400
And how did you.

1983
04:35:48.639 --> 04:36:07.000
How do you feel now? Can you notice that do

1984
04:36:07.119 --> 04:36:43.720
you feeling calmer? Are you feeling more relaxed as we

1985
04:36:43.919 --> 04:37:04.119
now focus on your legs, just your legs. You're just

1986
04:37:04.279 --> 04:37:24.000
going to start with focusing on your thighs. Of course,

1987
04:37:24.119 --> 04:37:29.000
it's not the most exciting thing to be doing, because

1988
04:37:32.439 --> 04:37:35.279
I'm sure like most of your body is not not

1989
04:37:35.479 --> 04:37:47.799
going on right now. Just focusing on the whole of

1990
04:37:47.880 --> 04:37:54.319
your thighs, the tops of your thighs, the sides of

1991
04:37:54.400 --> 04:38:01.279
your thighs, the bottoms of your thighs for outer thighs

1992
04:38:01.400 --> 04:38:06.439
and inner thighs. Basically the hole of your thigh that

1993
04:38:06.720 --> 04:38:15.560
leads into your hip and it goes down to your

1994
04:38:17.639 --> 04:38:29.520
knee joint. Now, this is a big area. It's a

1995
04:38:29.639 --> 04:38:36.439
very heavy area. It's very strong, probably the strongest muscles

1996
04:38:36.520 --> 04:38:49.400
in your body or in your thighs. But I don't

1997
04:38:49.479 --> 04:38:57.479
think we perhaps will give enough attention to our thighs.

1998
04:39:03.439 --> 04:39:14.200
Perhaps we don't acknowledge how important our thighs are to

1999
04:39:14.400 --> 04:39:35.000
our lives, how much they actually do for us all

2000
04:39:35.080 --> 04:39:45.680
through our lives. It may seem sound really weird, but

2001
04:39:48.599 --> 04:39:54.720
I think that all of our body parts, especially our thighs,

2002
04:39:55.720 --> 04:40:03.040
needs some TLC, a bit of love shown, a bit

2003
04:40:03.119 --> 04:40:21.799
of acknowledgement, thank you, gratitude for what our figs do

2004
04:40:22.040 --> 04:40:31.720
for us. And I know This may sound and a strange,

2005
04:40:34.159 --> 04:40:37.040
and maybe you think, why am I sure how I

2006
04:40:37.040 --> 04:40:40.400
should be able in the garden hugging a tree or something.

2007
04:40:42.000 --> 04:40:47.319
Oh, it's hard to set.

2008
04:40:47.200 --> 04:40:50.400
A microphone up on a tree. That's why I'm doing

2009
04:40:50.439 --> 04:40:53.080
this indoors. Otherwise I would be outside hugging a tree.

2010
04:40:54.279 --> 04:41:03.119
Now I can't see the television from the tree. You

2011
04:41:03.240 --> 04:41:08.479
move down to your knees gain such an important part,

2012
04:41:12.759 --> 04:41:17.840
and I think we don't necessarily I'll speak for myself here,

2013
04:41:20.360 --> 04:41:25.439
I don't necessarily appreciate all that my needs do for

2014
04:41:25.560 --> 04:41:31.439
me until I have a problem with my knee. It's

2015
04:41:31.479 --> 04:41:36.520
occasionally if I either maybe i'll pash it or it's

2016
04:41:36.720 --> 04:41:42.439
aching for some reason. It's then that I realize.

2017
04:41:43.040 --> 04:41:44.200
How much it does.

2018
04:41:45.799 --> 04:41:49.080
You know, the benefit of being able to use my

2019
04:41:49.319 --> 04:41:59.000
legs without any kind of physical discomfort is a beautiful

2020
04:41:59.080 --> 04:42:08.279
thing that's possibly not appreciated until it's temporarily removed. You

2021
04:42:08.360 --> 04:42:15.240
know that's comfort. But as you focus on your knees,

2022
04:42:17.400 --> 04:42:23.040
regardless of how your knees feel, you can have that

2023
04:42:23.319 --> 04:42:29.479
sense of gratitude and love to your needs for all

2024
04:42:29.599 --> 04:42:41.799
that they do for you, and you can still have

2025
04:42:42.000 --> 04:42:47.080
that attention on your thighs. Maybe notice how your thighs feel,

2026
04:42:49.279 --> 04:43:07.840
Maybe noticed that they are relaxing more as you focus

2027
04:43:08.040 --> 04:43:13.599
now on the bottoms of your legs, your shins, and

2028
04:43:13.720 --> 04:43:20.279
your car muscles, the bones between your knees and your

2029
04:43:20.319 --> 04:43:33.360
feet incorporate, and of course your ankles so important. You know,

2030
04:43:33.400 --> 04:43:38.200
anyone that's had even like the slightest sprain of an

2031
04:43:38.200 --> 04:43:46.319
ankle knows how how much we take our ankles for granted.

2032
04:43:52.240 --> 04:43:54.240
And it's kind of strange in a way when you

2033
04:43:54.319 --> 04:43:59.840
think that. You know, logically, our wrists are a lot

2034
04:44:00.119 --> 04:44:04.919
thinner than the rest of our arms, which is okay,

2035
04:44:05.040 --> 04:44:08.720
it doesn't I can't see any problem with that because

2036
04:44:08.720 --> 04:44:14.759
we're just picking stuff up by our ankles so much

2037
04:44:15.040 --> 04:44:24.680
thinner than the rest of our legs. And from a

2038
04:44:24.799 --> 04:44:29.639
physics perspective or logical even it doesn't really make sense

2039
04:44:31.000 --> 04:44:38.360
that all this weight would ultimately be resting on your

2040
04:44:38.439 --> 04:44:53.439
ankles then leading to your feet, that thin area, thin bone. Yeah,

2041
04:44:53.520 --> 04:44:59.200
it does so much great work. Supports us, supports our

2042
04:44:59.319 --> 04:45:11.080
body for a lifetime, helps us to balance, It helps

2043
04:45:11.119 --> 04:45:23.799
you to get around and be mobile. And there's the

2044
04:45:23.919 --> 04:45:32.040
calf muscles. Of course, when I was younger, I couldn't

2045
04:45:32.080 --> 04:45:37.479
see the point in calf muscles didn't seem to do anything. Okay,

2046
04:45:38.599 --> 04:45:42.479
if I walked around on tiptoes, then my calf muscles.

2047
04:45:42.200 --> 04:45:45.479
Get some work. But of course that's not true.

2048
04:45:45.639 --> 04:45:49.799
The calf muscles are being used whenever we use our

2049
04:45:49.880 --> 04:46:03.720
legs and your shins there to protect your lower legs

2050
04:46:08.040 --> 04:46:12.599
shaped in a way, the most is a protector with

2051
04:46:12.759 --> 04:46:23.840
a bone leading of course to your ankles.

2052
04:46:27.279 --> 04:46:27.959
In your feet.

2053
04:46:32.720 --> 04:46:34.680
I'm not going to focus on your feet. I'm just

2054
04:46:34.759 --> 04:46:36.000
going to focus on the X.

2055
04:46:38.080 --> 04:46:39.319
I realize.

2056
04:46:40.880 --> 04:46:41.759
And now that I've.

2057
04:46:41.720 --> 04:46:45.840
Mentioned your feet, it could be it's sitting round them anyway,

2058
04:46:46.360 --> 04:46:48.959
So maybe I should focus on your feet a little bit.

2059
04:46:52.959 --> 04:46:57.520
You can have the menial awareness the same as you

2060
04:46:58.360 --> 04:47:00.439
have your thighs. In your awareness.

2061
04:47:01.279 --> 04:47:02.599
Even though we haven't been.

2062
04:47:02.560 --> 04:47:08.040
Focusing on your thighs for a few minutes and we're

2063
04:47:08.119 --> 04:47:22.599
focusing on your ankles, there's still that sensation of comforts

2064
04:47:25.240 --> 04:47:37.200
in your thighs, and there's that movement of energy because

2065
04:47:37.240 --> 04:47:44.200
the fis hold lots of different sensations. Of course, there's

2066
04:47:44.240 --> 04:47:49.000
the muscles, the big strong muscles that we have in

2067
04:47:49.080 --> 04:48:02.400
our thighs, but the skin on the outside of the

2068
04:48:02.520 --> 04:48:07.680
thighs as in the outside of all of our body

2069
04:48:08.479 --> 04:48:20.040
can be very sensitive, sensitive to the touch, sensitive to temperature.

2070
04:48:26.599 --> 04:48:34.159
And inside your thighs the bones, there's the muscle, there's

2071
04:48:34.200 --> 04:48:40.360
the blood, vessels, the arch trees. All this starts inside

2072
04:48:40.560 --> 04:48:48.360
your thighs. And I guess sometimes it'd be nice if

2073
04:48:48.360 --> 04:48:53.200
you could actually put your fingers inside your thighs and

2074
04:48:53.240 --> 04:48:58.319
a message. So if you can message on the outside,

2075
04:48:58.599 --> 04:49:02.240
because to be able to get deep into the muscles,

2076
04:49:03.240 --> 04:49:08.360
to be able to just massage inside your fies. Message

2077
04:49:08.400 --> 04:49:16.479
in the bones of your leg, massage in with the

2078
04:49:16.639 --> 04:49:23.080
veins and just gently healing of vice.

2079
04:49:26.680 --> 04:49:28.040
And you can move it down.

2080
04:49:30.080 --> 04:49:35.119
Message and inside your knees, just a message in those bones,

2081
04:49:36.119 --> 04:49:41.560
but with the healing fingertips spreading the healing.

2082
04:49:41.400 --> 04:49:52.200
Energy deep into the choice your knees. Of course, there's

2083
04:49:52.240 --> 04:49:57.880
the back of your you need the inside crease where

2084
04:49:57.919 --> 04:49:59.159
your knee is.

2085
04:50:00.200 --> 04:50:02.479
Hm. It's a really sensitive area.

2086
04:50:04.439 --> 04:50:09.279
Really that's very nice when it's stroking. That might be

2087
04:50:09.439 --> 04:50:13.360
because it's an area that's not really touched very often.

2088
04:50:15.439 --> 04:50:22.279
It's almost like a hidden part a crease your legs.

2089
04:50:22.400 --> 04:50:26.080
It's almost like a part that.

2090
04:50:27.880 --> 04:50:39.319
Has a sensitivity which a little bit different because it's

2091
04:50:39.400 --> 04:50:50.639
protected by your legs. It's what I imagine putting the

2092
04:50:50.799 --> 04:51:01.479
fingers into that crease on your legs, moping between your legs.

2093
04:51:02.200 --> 04:51:08.080
You can just message with your fingertips, your fingertips going inside,

2094
04:51:09.759 --> 04:51:18.040
massage in the muscle tissue. We can of course the

2095
04:51:18.200 --> 04:51:20.200
old bone.

2096
04:51:20.000 --> 04:51:32.400
Whats your knees, head and your fingertips, and then you

2097
04:51:32.400 --> 04:51:37.319
should go down to carf fossils.

2098
04:51:37.759 --> 04:51:38.479
And that's the part.

2099
04:51:38.560 --> 04:51:42.639
I'd like to be able to really put my fingertips

2100
