00:00:00.640 --> 00:00:13.119
Hello, and welcome to just Niland. Did coum. I'm practicing

2
00:00:13.199 --> 00:00:21.679
me German. I'm not sure how that's going. That's for Sebastian. Sebastian.

3
00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:34.560
Sebastian did a lovely thing earlier today. He actually posted

4
00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:39.359
a picture of my name, but what she possibly would

5
00:00:39.399 --> 00:00:42.320
look like when she was younger? Did the like on

6
00:00:42.479 --> 00:00:44.439
chat EPT. I didn't know you could do it on

7
00:00:44.520 --> 00:00:50.079
chat GPT. I know there are ai things you can do.

8
00:00:52.039 --> 00:01:01.600
I think ancestry dot com does it as well. But

9
00:01:01.719 --> 00:01:04.079
that was nice. I have seen some pictures of my

10
00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:07.319
nan when she was younger, but only from my Nan.

11
00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:12.079
I mean, you might say, well, I hardly likely to

12
00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:14.439
see it when you go shopping. No, I don't mean

13
00:01:14.519 --> 00:01:18.840
that random strangers. I'm walking up to me, Hey, you

14
00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:20.280
want to see a picture of your name when she

15
00:01:20.359 --> 00:01:23.599
was twenty. No, that's not happening. I'm not saying that

16
00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:31.120
would happen. But every now and then I'd visit me Nan.

17
00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:33.840
Every now I'd visit me now. But every now and

18
00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:38.519
then she'd get the the boxes of photographs and the

19
00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:47.000
photograph albums. Dan would have a little good look and yeah,

20
00:01:47.359 --> 00:01:52.120
she had very curly hair, always that curly hair. She

21
00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:56.120
had a picture of her and all her brothers and sisters.

22
00:01:56.200 --> 00:01:59.239
It took up half the wall. There were like twelve

23
00:01:59.239 --> 00:02:07.319
of them, honestly, And I remember saying one of the

24
00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:11.719
one of my well, one of her sisters, was like,

25
00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:19.919
and I'm just saying I felt, it's just like phenomenally phenomenal,

26
00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:28.680
as in, if you do this, this sounds weird. But

27
00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:33.680
if you this, this is going to sound weird. Really

28
00:02:33.719 --> 00:02:36.439
if you two thars about it. If you if you

29
00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:41.479
was to if someone said, oh, this person here was

30
00:02:41.520 --> 00:02:46.080
a supermodel in the nineteen thirties or the nineteen fifties

31
00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:52.360
or forties, you wouldn't you wouldn't question it. You might say, who,

32
00:02:52.360 --> 00:02:56.560
I've not heard of her? What was her name? Did

33
00:02:56.599 --> 00:02:59.240
she do any bikini shoots? That's not why I would say,

34
00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:03.400
because she's my great aunt great Okay, let's move on.

35
00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:09.039
But she was wow. I remember saying that to my Nanno,

36
00:03:09.159 --> 00:03:12.199
and she said, what bikini shoots has been appropriate? I

37
00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:17.120
said sorry, and she said, besides, what are my corn beef?

38
00:03:18.520 --> 00:03:21.240
I said, what do you mean? She said, what my

39
00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:25.120
corn beef? You? My sister's so so attractive, But what

40
00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:28.879
am I? I said, Well, you're not corn beef. Well

41
00:03:28.919 --> 00:03:30.280
why did you think? Why did you come up with

42
00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:35.719
corn beef? She said, I'm hungry, and I thought, yeah,

43
00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:39.919
I am as well. About time went and got some sandwiches,

44
00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:43.439
and wasn't it So she wred she go and get

45
00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:48.520
the sandwiches, and I'd wait. Sometimes i'd have to sort

46
00:03:48.520 --> 00:03:50.120
of say to a shower, hurry up with her? Can

47
00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:54.199
you hurry up? Hurry up, woman, get the food ready.

48
00:03:55.319 --> 00:03:57.240
But she's a lot quicker before she broke her hip.

49
00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:02.599
And none of that's true. She did break it. Hup.

50
00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:05.800
None of that I would like if I said that

51
00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:08.240
to mine and hurry up, Well, she'd probably laugh, to

52
00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:11.840
be honest, but I would never be rude. This just

53
00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:18.720
started weird? Should we start again? Welcome to Jasonnewland dot com.

54
00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:22.079
My name is Jason Newland. Please only listen when you

55
00:04:22.120 --> 00:04:25.759
can safety close your eyes. This is let me bore

56
00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:31.600
you to sleep. It is a very therapeutic recording for

57
00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:34.360
you to fall asleep too. And I would be as

58
00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:42.120
boring as I can. Yes, the secret is I've never

59
00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:47.120
once been boring, not to me, not to me, just

60
00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:53.120
to everyone else. Vinnie's got a bone, one of the

61
00:04:53.199 --> 00:05:01.800
little bones. Got some got a new pack cave through you. Yes, today,

62
00:05:02.600 --> 00:05:05.399
I'll tell you what. There's been some troubles h that'd

63
00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:15.279
some troubles No, nothing serious, but very disheartening. Oh man, right,

64
00:05:17.319 --> 00:05:22.240
it's Thursday, the twelfth of June two thousand and I

65
00:05:22.279 --> 00:05:34.720
nearly said twenty twelve. Wow, it's weird. I was a counselor.

66
00:05:34.759 --> 00:05:39.439
I was a full time counselor. I was helping people

67
00:05:40.600 --> 00:05:49.759
full time in twenty twelve. That was an interesting period.

68
00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:54.319
You know. I'd like to talk more about what happened

69
00:05:54.519 --> 00:06:00.120
during that time. It's just I don't want to to,

70
00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:04.040
you know, talk about other people. You know, obviously people

71
00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:07.600
have come as as clients, so that's that's not really on.

72
00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:15.639
But I learned a lot and there's some very interesting,

73
00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:24.399
interesting experiences. And I think the one thing becomes very

74
00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:28.600
evident if you ever, you know, as a counselor, as

75
00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:33.199
training to become a counselor and starting to see humans,

76
00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:40.639
is there's a lot of stuff going on out there,

77
00:06:44.759 --> 00:06:52.319
and people are People can be quite complicated. Maybe always,

78
00:06:52.439 --> 00:06:57.519
I don't know, but just there's it's just that next

79
00:06:57.519 --> 00:07:02.240
time you have someone who's grumpy or doesn't open the

80
00:07:02.279 --> 00:07:04.680
door for you, or doesn't say thank you when you

81
00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:10.160
open the door for them, or perhaps doesn't even acknowledge you,

82
00:07:11.959 --> 00:07:15.959
or perhaps is a little bit rude. You're not horrible,

83
00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:18.120
but it's a little bit like short or a little

84
00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:23.600
bit I've always been a little bit short. Maybe there's

85
00:07:23.639 --> 00:07:28.519
a reason for that. I kind of I started to

86
00:07:28.600 --> 00:07:31.279
learn that a little bit. I learned it earlier in life,

87
00:07:31.319 --> 00:07:34.759
but I kind of learned it a bit more realizing people.

88
00:07:34.879 --> 00:07:37.680
It's got heavy quick, isn't it. People are walking around

89
00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:43.399
with stuff, and that's why I mean, even though it's

90
00:07:43.480 --> 00:07:48.600
quite heavy, I found it's useful, useful in a sense

91
00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:52.879
of I'm not always able to get myself in that zone.

92
00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:57.759
Sometimes I don't, but if I can, I try and

93
00:07:57.800 --> 00:08:00.160
put myself into the zone. If someone's been rude to

94
00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:04.079
me that at the very least they're just having a

95
00:08:04.079 --> 00:08:09.600
bad day. We're all allowed to have bad days. It's fine.

96
00:08:10.120 --> 00:08:17.560
Or if what they've done is really upset me or

97
00:08:17.600 --> 00:08:21.079
I've reacted, then I try and look at it the

98
00:08:21.120 --> 00:08:29.879
most extreme situation in order to sort of negate that feeling.

99
00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:35.039
So for example, I had someone in the petrol station

100
00:08:36.200 --> 00:08:42.679
during lockdown. Actually it was he he was pretty much

101
00:08:44.879 --> 00:08:49.000
semi shouting. I love that word semi. Maybe it's because

102
00:08:49.000 --> 00:08:52.679
I'm five years old. I don't know, but it was

103
00:08:53.000 --> 00:08:56.519
sort of. It was I think two or three, No,

104
00:08:56.679 --> 00:08:59.519
two people behind me, So because we don't wanted to

105
00:08:59.559 --> 00:09:03.039
stay in six foot away? How am I supposed to

106
00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:05.840
know what six foot is five foot eight? I don't

107
00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:08.919
know what six foot is. I can't gauge that. I

108
00:09:08.960 --> 00:09:12.320
can gauge it if you're standing up or lying down,

109
00:09:12.399 --> 00:09:18.879
but I can't not. Yeah, just it's hard anyway. I

110
00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:24.200
this spoke started like moaning, and I was at the

111
00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:29.799
counter giving my money. The cashier was new, so I

112
00:09:29.799 --> 00:09:31.480
don't know if he was. It was going a little

113
00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:34.360
bit slow, but then she was new, so he was

114
00:09:34.440 --> 00:09:38.360
just learning the job. And every job can be hard

115
00:09:38.399 --> 00:09:45.279
when you first start. And I didn't react great, if

116
00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:51.399
I'm honest verbally, I mean, but internally didn't didn't respond.

117
00:09:54.000 --> 00:10:00.720
And when I got back, I started thinking, well, I

118
00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:07.879
don't know anything about this person. Maybe, I mean, bearing

119
00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:10.519
in mind the situation at the time, maybe they just

120
00:10:10.600 --> 00:10:13.960
lost someone. Maybe they've just been to hospital and seeing

121
00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:18.759
someone they care about, you know, just and yeah, that

122
00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:26.559
seemed to semi neutralize it, not completely I just lost

123
00:10:26.559 --> 00:10:28.440
andres so I was not in a great space either,

124
00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:31.240
but you know it was There's a lot of people

125
00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:33.440
not going to get great space during that period, you know,

126
00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:41.320
but I found it was something that helped, you know.

127
00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:43.639
I know some people just do it in a more smaller,

128
00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:46.879
less dramatic way, kind of just having a bad day,

129
00:10:47.320 --> 00:10:51.080
and that's fine, which it's cool. I see, if you

130
00:10:51.120 --> 00:10:53.679
can do that, that's really good. I'm not always able

131
00:10:53.720 --> 00:11:01.720
to do that. What am I talking about? Though? I

132
00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:05.039
know what I'm talking about. Why what's this got to

133
00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:15.080
do with goldfish? I don't know, So I got no

134
00:11:15.159 --> 00:11:21.480
idea anyway. I got annoyed, but it wasn't about it

135
00:11:21.519 --> 00:11:30.600
wasn't about a person. Here's what happened. I made yesterday morning,

136
00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:41.200
right probably ten eleven. I made a whisper Wednesday recording.

137
00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:45.559
There was a little bit of chitter chatter outside, but

138
00:11:45.639 --> 00:11:51.639
not much. It's fairly quiet, and yeah, I was I

139
00:11:51.679 --> 00:11:53.720
did it. Did the recording. It's about an hour and

140
00:11:53.759 --> 00:12:02.799
fifteen minutes. And I never generally when I make a recording,

141
00:12:02.879 --> 00:12:08.039
I don't upload it straight away. Sometimes I do, but

142
00:12:08.279 --> 00:12:11.919
you know, generally, after I've made a recording, that's when

143
00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:16.600
I go and do something different. I mean technically uploading

144
00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:20.240
and editing and all that stuff that is different from

145
00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:25.399
making a recording. But I kind of like to do

146
00:12:25.440 --> 00:12:27.960
something that's got nothing to do with this whole thing.

147
00:12:29.519 --> 00:12:32.720
So maybe take the little rabbit out for a run.

148
00:12:32.799 --> 00:12:39.799
You know, it's not euphemism. I'm talking about, Vinnie. What

149
00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:42.200
would what would that be? What would that be a

150
00:12:42.279 --> 00:12:46.000
euphemism for I'm just taking a rabbit out for a run.

151
00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:50.440
I'll be back in five minutes. What you've been doing

152
00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:52.559
in the bedroom all that time? What was all that noise?

153
00:12:53.240 --> 00:12:56.399
What's happened to that sock? I was just taking a

154
00:12:56.480 --> 00:13:04.480
rabbit out for a run. I don't know, So that's

155
00:13:04.559 --> 00:13:10.679
the answer. You know, how come how come the washing

156
00:13:10.759 --> 00:13:14.919
machine keeps eating all the socks? If you noticed, it's

157
00:13:14.960 --> 00:13:20.720
often male socks that go missing. Yep, there's a reason,

158
00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:23.519
because the washing machine does not like one of them socks.

159
00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:26.200
I don't know where I'm going with this. This has

160
00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:37.360
gone weird right so onto the subject. So I was feeling, okay,

161
00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:43.480
I've done the you know, I've done the recording. I

162
00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:45.720
might have gone back to bed for a little nap.

163
00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:52.080
Then I came back out and started, you know, I

164
00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:58.919
sent the record into the iPad and then I opened

165
00:13:59.000 --> 00:14:04.080
up to start editing, and the iPod the iPad was

166
00:14:04.120 --> 00:14:08.480
not working. The iPod the iPad was not working. First

167
00:14:08.559 --> 00:14:14.320
of all, the file the file app was missing. I

168
00:14:14.440 --> 00:14:20.399
don't know what the heck happened there, so I had

169
00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:23.200
no way to access the files. I found a way

170
00:14:23.200 --> 00:14:25.919
in the end, but it was like a real weird place.

171
00:14:27.519 --> 00:14:32.360
And secondly, the touch screen was not working properly, so

172
00:14:32.399 --> 00:14:36.080
I touched on one part and a different part would highlight.

173
00:14:37.159 --> 00:14:42.240
And I used a touch screen when I edit my recordings.

174
00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:47.440
Now I realized that, you know, in the past, I

175
00:14:47.519 --> 00:14:51.360
used to edit without touching the screen. But I've been

176
00:14:51.360 --> 00:14:54.799
doing this this way for years. I'd find it very

177
00:14:54.799 --> 00:14:59.080
difficult to go back to not touching the screen, and

178
00:14:59.240 --> 00:15:03.000
also to not using the software that I use. I

179
00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:08.200
just I'm used to using it and it works because

180
00:15:08.200 --> 00:15:10.600
there's nothing fancy. I don't need to do anything fancy.

181
00:15:10.960 --> 00:15:15.399
There's no you know, I'm not adding sound effects or

182
00:15:15.480 --> 00:15:20.559
anything like that. It's just editing it. Maybe increasing the

183
00:15:20.639 --> 00:15:24.879
volume a bit to make it sound more louder, I guess,

184
00:15:25.879 --> 00:15:33.840
and then adding background music or adding the stock, you know,

185
00:15:34.360 --> 00:15:42.200
five hour, ten hour things to the recording, recording, recording,

186
00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:47.000
and there used to be a comedian on the circuit

187
00:15:47.080 --> 00:15:49.960
and every time he did a gig, he's like, good, Evid,

188
00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:55.799
good Evid. Seriously, I don't it's not, it's just he

189
00:15:55.919 --> 00:15:59.759
was a brilliant compare. But it was just it's weird.

190
00:15:59.759 --> 00:16:04.240
This is one of those things, right seeing someone for

191
00:16:04.279 --> 00:16:10.320
the first time can be amazing. But if you because

192
00:16:10.360 --> 00:16:14.720
I used to see the same person weak in well

193
00:16:14.759 --> 00:16:19.600
week in. I saw them for like over ten years,

194
00:16:20.080 --> 00:16:22.600
but for a four year period it was intense. I'd

195
00:16:22.639 --> 00:16:26.480
see them nearly every week and you know, you get

196
00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:34.759
to know every single joke in their act. And it's

197
00:16:34.799 --> 00:16:39.360
weird how someone that's so good it just gets boring.

198
00:16:39.440 --> 00:16:45.320
It's like, oh, I'm not them again yet some of

199
00:16:45.320 --> 00:16:48.039
them were kind of on TV and you know, but

200
00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:51.240
it's just been the same, the same stuff. They're doing

201
00:16:51.279 --> 00:16:55.960
the same act. And that's why they were so good,

202
00:16:56.039 --> 00:16:58.720
because they were doing all the time, and they were

203
00:16:58.720 --> 00:17:01.360
practicing and you know, they were you know, they had

204
00:17:01.399 --> 00:17:05.599
an act. That's what it is. It's weird though, because

205
00:17:05.680 --> 00:17:12.079
sometimes the comedians that look like the ad libbin some

206
00:17:12.119 --> 00:17:15.279
of them are but a lot of them aren't. They're

207
00:17:15.319 --> 00:17:24.279
just pre programmed ad libs almost, And that's weird as

208
00:17:24.279 --> 00:17:28.599
well because I saw someone it's one of the comedians

209
00:17:28.640 --> 00:17:33.759
from The Mighty Boosh, Nil Noel Fielding, and I saw

210
00:17:33.799 --> 00:17:36.200
his stand up act. I've never watched The Mighty Boosh

211
00:17:36.279 --> 00:17:40.000
and I've never you know, I never really knew what

212
00:17:40.119 --> 00:17:43.160
Nil Noel Fielding was like. And I saw some of

213
00:17:43.160 --> 00:17:49.759
his early standouts from the nineties, so funny, absolutely funny.

214
00:17:49.799 --> 00:17:53.559
I was like, he's just basically it is very surreal

215
00:17:53.599 --> 00:17:55.880
and he's just making It's like he's making up. He's

216
00:17:55.960 --> 00:17:58.680
going along. Then I see him do another gig on

217
00:17:58.759 --> 00:18:04.720
a different show, same material. It wasn't made up, so

218
00:18:04.799 --> 00:18:08.400
these ad lips weren't made up. It's like, oh, then

219
00:18:08.440 --> 00:18:11.759
I see him again. He's doing this. It's like maybe

220
00:18:11.839 --> 00:18:14.079
new material, but he's adding other stuff, but it's still

221
00:18:14.160 --> 00:18:17.480
kind of certain things that I thought was almost like

222
00:18:17.519 --> 00:18:26.920
he was just I don't know, just talking and coming

223
00:18:27.000 --> 00:18:33.759
up with stuff. It I'm sure he did. Like I guess,

224
00:18:33.759 --> 00:18:36.759
you can't rely on it if you're doing a TV show,

225
00:18:36.799 --> 00:18:39.440
can you. You can't. If it's a live gig, you

226
00:18:39.480 --> 00:18:42.119
can play around more. But I guess if you've only

227
00:18:42.160 --> 00:18:45.839
got five minutes or a comedy show, you got to

228
00:18:45.880 --> 00:18:48.440
give it your best stuff and there's no room for error.

229
00:18:48.440 --> 00:18:53.319
I suppose I wouldn't know personally, although I did do once.

230
00:18:53.480 --> 00:18:57.279
I did do once. I did once do a TV

231
00:18:57.400 --> 00:19:02.680
talent show, but it was for live TV in nineteen

232
00:19:02.799 --> 00:19:08.319
ninety five, near the end of the year, and the

233
00:19:08.359 --> 00:19:12.880
only audience was the other acts and the production crew,

234
00:19:13.400 --> 00:19:18.839
which was a few camera people and you know, people

235
00:19:18.880 --> 00:19:22.119
in the in that little space that they was there.

236
00:19:24.680 --> 00:19:27.599
I really enjoyed it. I did get some laughs. I

237
00:19:27.640 --> 00:19:31.680
didn't win anything. I didn't win I literally didn't win anything.

238
00:19:32.440 --> 00:19:37.079
I never won anything. I got through. I got through

239
00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:44.680
to the Hackney Empire shows. So I don't know if

240
00:19:44.680 --> 00:19:45.880
they still do it, but it used to be a

241
00:19:45.920 --> 00:19:48.880
Hackney New Act of the Year which was held at

242
00:19:48.880 --> 00:19:58.759
the Hackney Empire, and they did the first of all,

243
00:19:58.799 --> 00:20:01.240
we had to go to the which was next door

244
00:20:02.400 --> 00:20:05.200
and they did gigs there and it was like a contest,

245
00:20:05.240 --> 00:20:08.920
Italic contest and those who got through that part were

246
00:20:08.920 --> 00:20:13.480
then allowed that that went on to the Hackney Empire show.

247
00:20:16.319 --> 00:20:20.079
And I don't know if it was I think what

248
00:20:20.279 --> 00:20:24.359
was banged the microphone. I think there was that was

249
00:20:24.400 --> 00:20:28.160
kind of the semifinals. I think I don't think it

250
00:20:28.279 --> 00:20:29.759
was just no, yeah, it wasn't just one show. I

251
00:20:29.799 --> 00:20:32.839
think there might be in four shows. I got through

252
00:20:32.960 --> 00:20:39.400
to the to the semifinals, which was pretty cool, I think,

253
00:20:41.200 --> 00:20:43.720
funny enough, I didn't win it. And the reason, you

254
00:20:44.240 --> 00:20:46.759
know I didn't win it or I can, is because

255
00:20:46.839 --> 00:20:50.319
I didn't. People that win that show often go on

256
00:20:50.400 --> 00:20:56.759
to be well known, go on to be writers, have

257
00:20:56.880 --> 00:21:02.559
their own radio show, TV show, you know. So yeah,

258
00:21:03.160 --> 00:21:05.200
so many people I could name off the top of

259
00:21:05.240 --> 00:21:09.440
my head, people that may you might not know if

260
00:21:09.440 --> 00:21:12.920
you're not from this country. But there celebrities being in

261
00:21:13.000 --> 00:21:18.839
TV shows, sitcoms, uh, you know, panel shows and stuff

262
00:21:18.880 --> 00:21:24.960
like that. So many. I'm just thinking of Ardolouhanlon. He

263
00:21:25.039 --> 00:21:29.200
won that and he become He was in Father Ted

264
00:21:31.319 --> 00:21:34.359
probably the next year. He was a weird one, not

265
00:21:34.440 --> 00:21:39.119
weird as weird. He was great, He was great, It

266
00:21:39.279 --> 00:21:45.759
was great, great. But he came over from Ireland and

267
00:21:45.799 --> 00:21:55.279
he literally he went from he was successful instantly, instantly.

268
00:21:55.319 --> 00:21:56.759
I don't I'm not even sure if he ever had

269
00:21:56.759 --> 00:22:00.160
a bad gig. He came here and he won on

270
00:22:00.279 --> 00:22:04.039
every single talent contest on the circuit because there's a

271
00:22:04.039 --> 00:22:12.519
few around at the BBC Newcomer Best whatever different things

272
00:22:12.519 --> 00:22:19.240
like that. He won everything and he became a headliner

273
00:22:19.799 --> 00:22:24.160
almost instantly, probably within a year of being maybe less

274
00:22:24.160 --> 00:22:28.519
time of being on maybe a year, but it's very

275
00:22:28.720 --> 00:22:33.440
very very quick. Never met him, never on the same

276
00:22:33.480 --> 00:22:37.839
show as him, because he actually went from he joined,

277
00:22:38.559 --> 00:22:41.519
he got into the circuit and he was on television

278
00:22:41.680 --> 00:22:48.079
really quickly, and after that he was famous. So he

279
00:22:48.119 --> 00:22:57.519
wasn't doing the small gigs. Wow, I think he was

280
00:22:57.599 --> 00:23:04.200
just barking. Then someone slammed the door down stairs. I

281
00:23:04.319 --> 00:23:09.400
got my neighbor a mug, a coffee mug with his

282
00:23:09.480 --> 00:23:15.200
football team on it. I don't know why. I just

283
00:23:15.319 --> 00:23:17.799
don't know why. I just I was thinking. I thought

284
00:23:17.799 --> 00:23:21.519
about getting it a few months ago, and I went

285
00:23:21.559 --> 00:23:26.640
to Amazon two days ago, so I needed to awer

286
00:23:27.240 --> 00:23:36.920
some food for him and or oh he had the bones,

287
00:23:39.519 --> 00:23:42.480
and that mug came up. Are you sure you don't

288
00:23:42.480 --> 00:23:46.440
want to buy this mug? Do you see you mug?

289
00:23:47.680 --> 00:23:52.279
And I thought, oh, yeah, I forgot about that. So

290
00:23:52.319 --> 00:23:54.359
I's got it for him, so I give it to

291
00:23:54.440 --> 00:24:07.039
him later. Oh yeah, the iPad so the iPad was

292
00:24:07.079 --> 00:24:12.920
not working properly, and I did not know what to do.

293
00:24:15.839 --> 00:24:21.920
I spent all afternoon, all evening with breaks trying to

294
00:24:21.960 --> 00:24:29.039
figure out how to fix it, and then starting to

295
00:24:29.160 --> 00:24:37.559
focus on what can I do instead? What alternatives can

296
00:24:37.599 --> 00:24:44.119
I use to edit my audios that does not involve

297
00:24:44.240 --> 00:24:52.119
my iPad. Now there's loads to choose from. That's not

298
00:24:52.200 --> 00:24:56.720
really the issue. The issue for me is what one

299
00:24:56.799 --> 00:25:00.880
is going to be compatible for me? What's what's going

300
00:25:00.960 --> 00:25:10.160
to suit my way of doing it? And I started

301
00:25:10.160 --> 00:25:15.559
trying out a few different apps and not really loving them.

302
00:25:18.279 --> 00:25:21.240
And then some of the stuff was expensive as well,

303
00:25:22.119 --> 00:25:24.920
so I didn't really fancy doing that one. And there's

304
00:25:24.960 --> 00:25:31.359
one I think it's is it Hindenburg? And they no,

305
00:25:31.400 --> 00:25:33.960
it's the Hinduburg. Well there's one. I was sort of yeah. No,

306
00:25:34.039 --> 00:25:37.839
I did Hindenburg and I signed up for the free

307
00:25:37.880 --> 00:25:42.839
trial and the download didn't work. The thing just wouldn't work.

308
00:25:42.920 --> 00:25:49.160
It's like, what's the point in this? And I got

309
00:25:49.240 --> 00:25:51.519
another one and it was like two hundred pounds one

310
00:25:51.599 --> 00:25:56.519
off payment. No, it's free once you pay the two

311
00:25:56.559 --> 00:26:01.160
hundred pounds. It's like everything's freedom, isn't it. You know?

312
00:26:01.680 --> 00:26:04.160
The Mercedes is free once you paid the ninety grand.

313
00:26:04.920 --> 00:26:08.319
It's free. Now there you go. Your mortgage. Your house

314
00:26:08.440 --> 00:26:14.319
is free once you paid the mortgage off. So I

315
00:26:14.359 --> 00:26:18.720
didn't know what to do, and I was getting I

316
00:26:18.759 --> 00:26:24.480
was going on chat, GPT asking for help. Now probably

317
00:26:24.519 --> 00:26:28.640
the problem I had, I thought. I didn't realize it

318
00:26:28.680 --> 00:26:33.440
was the screen. I thought it was the app. So

319
00:26:34.000 --> 00:26:37.359
I was asking for help to fix the app. And

320
00:26:37.359 --> 00:26:39.480
I was doing that, I was uploading that, I was

321
00:26:39.519 --> 00:26:44.680
deleting it, I was re uploading it. I was trying

322
00:26:44.880 --> 00:26:50.559
change the settings of the iPad, and I just thought

323
00:26:50.599 --> 00:26:53.039
the app had just for some reason it had broken,

324
00:26:53.119 --> 00:26:56.160
and maybe the iPad just didn't want to work of

325
00:26:56.240 --> 00:27:00.279
it anymore, or I'm not sure. It just got confusing.

326
00:27:01.920 --> 00:27:07.559
And then I went to bed. So I would have

327
00:27:07.599 --> 00:27:12.799
made another recording yesterday. In fact, I wanted to make

328
00:27:12.799 --> 00:27:18.400
another recording, but there was no point if I if

329
00:27:18.440 --> 00:27:23.480
I couldn't upload or can edit that one, there once

330
00:27:23.559 --> 00:27:25.960
a point in getting another, you know, making another one.

331
00:27:28.000 --> 00:27:33.839
And I wanted to upload it on Wednesday. And now

332
00:27:33.920 --> 00:27:36.640
I sometimes I do upload the day after, you know,

333
00:27:36.640 --> 00:27:40.960
I maybe make a recording in the evening, and then

334
00:27:41.000 --> 00:27:45.960
I uploaded the next morning I'll do that sometimes. But yeah,

335
00:27:46.279 --> 00:27:48.839
bear in mind that I recorded it in the morning,

336
00:27:51.319 --> 00:27:54.880
then I would normally have it uploaded by the early afternoon,

337
00:27:56.000 --> 00:28:02.039
were edited and uploaded. So what ended up doing is

338
00:28:02.279 --> 00:28:07.039
I did edit. I'm not sure. I don't think I did.

339
00:28:07.160 --> 00:28:11.039
I think I might have uploaded it yesterday, just one recording,

340
00:28:11.319 --> 00:28:16.119
the first one without music, and I edited that in

341
00:28:16.240 --> 00:28:23.000
cap cut, which is a video editing software. That it

342
00:28:23.079 --> 00:28:26.319
was harder to do because the screen I was doing

343
00:28:26.359 --> 00:28:30.880
on a laptop, and it wasn't just I couldn't see.

344
00:28:31.599 --> 00:28:34.200
It's weird, but I can see the screen. I can

345
00:28:34.240 --> 00:28:37.599
see the screen on the laptop, but with the iPad,

346
00:28:38.279 --> 00:28:46.200
the whole screen is just the audio, you know, spiky stuff,

347
00:28:46.279 --> 00:28:49.680
So I can see where all the spikes are, and

348
00:28:49.720 --> 00:28:52.160
I can see where to edit and where to listen.

349
00:28:52.240 --> 00:28:57.480
And because I know it's so well having looked at

350
00:28:57.519 --> 00:29:02.799
it and used it for years, I've used it, I

351
00:29:02.799 --> 00:29:06.599
don't know, hundreds and hundreds of times, hundreds and hundreds

352
00:29:06.599 --> 00:29:09.440
and hundreds and hundreds of times, so I kind of

353
00:29:09.519 --> 00:29:15.559
know my way around it quite easily. So it took

354
00:29:15.599 --> 00:29:19.599
a while to get it done. Using cap cut got

355
00:29:19.599 --> 00:29:25.880
it done, and then this now if it was last No,

356
00:29:27.119 --> 00:29:30.480
I'm losing track about whether it's last night or this morning.

357
00:29:31.680 --> 00:29:35.720
But yesterday i'd had enough. I saw it. Ah, so

358
00:29:35.799 --> 00:29:40.839
I went to bed about nine o'clock. I just yeah,

359
00:29:40.880 --> 00:29:43.720
I was annoyed of it, so I thought, no. Plus,

360
00:29:43.720 --> 00:29:47.000
I've been watching mob Land as the TV show on

361
00:29:47.240 --> 00:29:51.039
Paramount Plus. I just finished watching it today. It was

362
00:29:51.079 --> 00:29:56.079
ten episodes. It's not so much a binge binge watched it,

363
00:29:56.119 --> 00:29:58.440
but I did watch it in three days. I guess

364
00:29:58.599 --> 00:30:07.359
is that binging it's only three episodes a day, but yeah,

365
00:30:07.799 --> 00:30:14.960
it's Yeah, it was interesting. I think Pierce Brosnan got

366
00:30:15.000 --> 00:30:18.279
a lot of hassle for having an Irish accent in

367
00:30:18.720 --> 00:30:22.640
that show. And I saw something someone was saying, he's

368
00:30:22.680 --> 00:30:28.200
being disrespectful by putting on that accent. Pierce Brosnan is Irish.

369
00:30:29.279 --> 00:30:33.160
Do people not know that Pierce brosn is not American.

370
00:30:33.680 --> 00:30:36.039
I know he was famous for being an American TV

371
00:30:36.200 --> 00:30:44.039
show and then being in James Bond, but he wasn't.

372
00:30:44.279 --> 00:30:49.559
He was never English. He was Irish, unless yeah he was,

373
00:30:49.720 --> 00:30:53.920
he was Irish, or unless you know he had an

374
00:30:53.920 --> 00:30:57.240
Irish accent. He was born with an Irish accent. He

375
00:30:57.400 --> 00:31:00.559
wasn't born with an Irish accent, but he he definitely

376
00:31:00.640 --> 00:31:17.200
was born in Ireland. What is it? Who is it Scotland? Nah?

377
00:31:18.359 --> 00:31:24.279
Oh no, I want to talk about We all know

378
00:31:24.599 --> 00:31:28.319
who the Scottish James Bond is. Thn't me, Roger Moore?

379
00:31:30.599 --> 00:31:32.640
Some people I should know my Bond, shouldn't I. Let's

380
00:31:32.640 --> 00:31:38.519
face it. I mean I grew up watching every single

381
00:31:38.720 --> 00:31:45.559
James Bond movie all day and night, breakfast, dinner, tea. Honestly,

382
00:31:45.960 --> 00:31:49.599
just James Bond, this James Bond. That none of this

383
00:31:49.680 --> 00:31:52.839
is true, it is I did watch a lot of it.

384
00:31:56.039 --> 00:32:04.079
I think the James Bond movies are the last I

385
00:32:04.119 --> 00:32:09.799
don't know, probably twenty thirty years. I don't think they've

386
00:32:09.839 --> 00:32:15.519
really had the societal impact that the original ones did,

387
00:32:16.519 --> 00:32:23.680
or the ones in even the eighties. It's almost like

388
00:32:23.839 --> 00:32:27.200
no one. I can't think of anyone other than James

389
00:32:27.200 --> 00:32:33.519
Bond himself that really became a huge star from being

390
00:32:33.599 --> 00:32:37.119
in those movies, in any of the James Bond movies

391
00:32:37.160 --> 00:32:43.920
of recent years. And if I were to tell you,

392
00:32:44.200 --> 00:32:48.039
for those that are not old enough to remember and

393
00:32:48.079 --> 00:32:53.759
those are old I to remember, will actually agree with me. Jaws,

394
00:32:54.920 --> 00:32:59.039
not the shark Jaws, Richard Keel. For some reason, I'm

395
00:32:59.039 --> 00:33:06.359
remembering names to Richard kill was an absolute superstar, so famous.

396
00:33:07.799 --> 00:33:10.480
There was action figures made of him and James bonding

397
00:33:10.599 --> 00:33:14.559
him and his gold teeth, and he was like an

398
00:33:14.599 --> 00:33:21.279
anti hero. And it'd be fighting Roger Moore. Roger Moore

399
00:33:21.319 --> 00:33:24.359
was about ninety five then, and they'd be fighting on

400
00:33:24.400 --> 00:33:28.079
a ski lift. And although he didn't want to see Jans,

401
00:33:28.079 --> 00:33:32.279
you know, the pensioner, James Bond get hurt. At the

402
00:33:32.359 --> 00:33:36.839
same time, we kind of we loved Jawels as well

403
00:33:38.000 --> 00:33:42.200
because he had a lovely smile, a big smile, very

404
00:33:42.200 --> 00:33:51.359
big smile, very gold and shiny. Yeah, there was one

405
00:33:51.440 --> 00:33:55.400
scene where he I think he ends up in the ocean.

406
00:33:55.400 --> 00:33:57.160
I think it might be the second movie, because he's

407
00:33:57.200 --> 00:34:00.240
in two movies. At least two movies. Has drawn was

408
00:34:04.359 --> 00:34:07.160
I think other than Blowfelt? Is it Blowfelt? The one

409
00:34:07.200 --> 00:34:12.599
with the with the one eye and the cat? What

410
00:34:12.800 --> 00:34:14.519
was it? I think that. You know, there was a

411
00:34:14.519 --> 00:34:17.719
couple of a couple of baddies that were in more

412
00:34:17.760 --> 00:34:25.760
than one movie, the James Bond French Eyes. But there

413
00:34:25.800 --> 00:34:29.840
was a scene where Jaws was in the ocean and

414
00:34:29.880 --> 00:34:37.480
he gets attacked by a shark, and everyone felt sorry

415
00:34:37.519 --> 00:34:41.840
for the shark, like you're doing it to the wrong person.

416
00:34:43.280 --> 00:34:46.880
Shark was like with his mouth open and jaws turned around,

417
00:34:47.199 --> 00:34:50.519
you know, the Richard Kill, the Baddy James Bond Beddy

418
00:34:50.679 --> 00:34:54.119
turned around and smiled, and the shark. You could see

419
00:34:54.119 --> 00:34:59.800
the shark's face like, oh, only god, I'm messed up now.

420
00:35:01.800 --> 00:35:10.039
I don't know what that accent was. He got messed up. Yeah,

421
00:35:10.119 --> 00:35:16.199
I think, yeah, that's good. Just ignore me. Then, my

422
00:35:16.280 --> 00:35:22.719
little Fox, if you saw him at night in a

423
00:35:22.760 --> 00:35:27.760
field running around, you'd think he was a fox. Seriously,

424
00:35:29.239 --> 00:35:31.719
I mean, you'd think he's probably a baby fox, because

425
00:35:31.800 --> 00:35:36.559
Fox has got quite long legs. At me, you'd think

426
00:35:36.599 --> 00:35:41.559
he was a baby, a really a well fed baby fox.

427
00:35:43.800 --> 00:35:46.159
But he's got this. I'm not saying he's got exactly

428
00:35:46.159 --> 00:35:49.480
the same coloring, because Fox is probably quite a bit redder,

429
00:35:49.519 --> 00:35:55.440
but he's definitely got that kind of foxy foxy look

430
00:35:56.320 --> 00:35:58.760
in the ears. One of his ears is his ears

431
00:35:58.760 --> 00:36:04.079
are pick pricked up, so he's listening for something, aren't you, finny, Yeah,

432
00:36:05.280 --> 00:36:09.159
you're going to behave Yeah you are. Your little towels

433
00:36:09.360 --> 00:36:13.079
the tails awakely, Oh you're so cute. You're such a

434
00:36:13.159 --> 00:36:23.679
cute tie. Yes you are, Yes you are bless him. Okay,

435
00:36:23.760 --> 00:36:25.760
So I didn't know what to do, so I ended

436
00:36:25.840 --> 00:36:30.719
up doing I made an image for the well did

437
00:36:30.760 --> 00:36:32.679
I I don't know if I did. I don't know

438
00:36:32.679 --> 00:36:37.159
if I did it last night or not. But I

439
00:36:37.280 --> 00:36:42.559
ended up doing the one without music and uploading that.

440
00:36:43.039 --> 00:36:46.280
I think I did that last night. I'm not one

441
00:36:46.320 --> 00:36:52.280
hundred percent sure it might be this morning. And then

442
00:36:52.280 --> 00:36:55.800
I got up this morning and I looked, because I've

443
00:36:55.840 --> 00:36:59.920
been resetting this and stuff on the iPad, I realized

444
00:37:00.280 --> 00:37:04.119
I'd lost all the background music stuff that I had

445
00:37:04.199 --> 00:37:07.760
saved that I used to edit recorders to put them

446
00:37:07.760 --> 00:37:15.039
all together, and I thought, no, what have I done?

447
00:37:16.360 --> 00:37:19.280
So I managed to find them. They just weren't in

448
00:37:19.280 --> 00:37:21.960
the same place that they had been before I managed

449
00:37:22.000 --> 00:37:27.480
to find them, uploaded them to speaker or edited them

450
00:37:28.000 --> 00:37:31.480
to be smaller, uploaded them to spreaker, and then went

451
00:37:31.519 --> 00:37:35.199
onto my laptop, downloaded them from a spreaker, all the

452
00:37:35.239 --> 00:37:38.840
different kind of about six different background things, and then

453
00:37:39.679 --> 00:37:48.599
put them onto the Yeah, put them onto the laptop,

454
00:37:49.599 --> 00:37:54.920
onto the what's it the screen background what do they

455
00:37:54.960 --> 00:37:59.159
call it? Whatever it's called, into a file desktop. That's it,

456
00:38:00.639 --> 00:38:09.679
and I started. Oh, I also cleaned the screen thoroughly

457
00:38:10.679 --> 00:38:15.400
because I've got these spectacled and lens wipes, so they're

458
00:38:15.440 --> 00:38:22.599
specifically for that that thing for cleaning glass, and I

459
00:38:22.679 --> 00:38:24.400
use them for my phone. I use it for my

460
00:38:24.400 --> 00:38:29.320
glasses and mainly my glasses. Although my glasses are scratched now,

461
00:38:30.159 --> 00:38:32.840
they're just so old, they're kind of they got to

462
00:38:32.880 --> 00:38:38.960
the point where that they're running out. They're running out.

463
00:38:40.800 --> 00:38:44.199
The prescription is nearly run out for these glasses, I think,

464
00:38:46.800 --> 00:38:52.360
and I test bad. My neighbor this morning, I was

465
00:38:52.400 --> 00:38:55.599
just bringing Vinnie back home from our w A l

466
00:38:55.679 --> 00:38:59.800
K and we were talking about whether or not is

467
00:39:00.440 --> 00:39:03.280
so he wanted if he could park his car there

468
00:39:03.639 --> 00:39:05.199
or when he had to wait to park the car

469
00:39:05.320 --> 00:39:11.840
there because there's a parking there's a zone, you know,

470
00:39:11.880 --> 00:39:14.639
where you can't park a car between a certain time.

471
00:39:15.239 --> 00:39:18.440
What are you doing for Anny? He's found a fly

472
00:39:18.639 --> 00:39:25.039
to try and catch. It's either moving very very fast

473
00:39:25.480 --> 00:39:33.639
or it's invisible because I can't see it. You know,

474
00:39:33.800 --> 00:39:37.559
dogs can hear things that we can't hear. Can they

475
00:39:37.599 --> 00:39:43.239
see things that we can't see? Ah, that seemed because

476
00:39:43.280 --> 00:39:46.880
they can smell things we can't smell, hear things we

477
00:39:46.920 --> 00:39:51.239
can't hear. Can they see things we can't see? That's

478
00:39:51.280 --> 00:39:56.719
an interesting question, isn't it. Ah? I wonder what the

479
00:39:56.800 --> 00:40:04.960
answer is. Oh, And my neighbor said, oh, I don't

480
00:40:05.000 --> 00:40:07.639
know if it's safe to park here when it's okay

481
00:40:07.679 --> 00:40:11.360
to park because it's like a school zone kind of block.

482
00:40:12.039 --> 00:40:15.480
And I said, it was a sign over there, and

483
00:40:15.519 --> 00:40:18.719
you could you not ad to part between eight thirty

484
00:40:18.840 --> 00:40:21.960
and I think nine? And he said no, he says

485
00:40:22.039 --> 00:40:26.360
nine thirty. I said no, I says nine. It says

486
00:40:26.400 --> 00:40:31.320
nine thirty. So he's like seventy. No, he's about eighty one.

487
00:40:34.559 --> 00:40:37.360
And his eyesight he doesn't wear he wears glasses, didn't

488
00:40:37.360 --> 00:40:41.480
have wear his glasses on, so without his glasses he

489
00:40:41.519 --> 00:40:43.840
can see that it was a three, not a zero.

490
00:40:48.639 --> 00:40:52.679
I couldn't. I could. I suppose if I kind of

491
00:40:52.679 --> 00:40:57.239
moved my head, I could see how it could be

492
00:40:57.280 --> 00:41:02.920
a three. She once he told me it was, you know,

493
00:41:03.280 --> 00:41:05.920
and once someone tells you what it is, it's hard

494
00:41:05.960 --> 00:41:08.960
to not you almost see a three, whether it is

495
00:41:09.119 --> 00:41:16.480
not or not. Really, And I just thought, that's not fair.

496
00:41:18.360 --> 00:41:20.320
Why is he Why is he got a better eyes

497
00:41:20.400 --> 00:41:26.960
than me? And I had a tantrum. I did. I

498
00:41:27.079 --> 00:41:34.199
stormed up the steps, came in, slammed the door, and

499
00:41:34.239 --> 00:41:39.239
I just, yeah, I didn't do any of that stuff.

500
00:41:39.320 --> 00:41:43.639
I don't know why I'm saying that I didn't. So oh,

501
00:41:44.760 --> 00:41:49.159
so I'm looking at the iPad and I'm starting to think, hmm,

502
00:41:53.440 --> 00:41:57.480
what I'll do. So I I transferred. I said all

503
00:41:57.480 --> 00:42:00.599
this stuff over. So I had that on the desktop

504
00:42:00.840 --> 00:42:05.639
on my computer, and I was going to start putting

505
00:42:05.639 --> 00:42:08.800
stuff together on there, using cap cut as the editor,

506
00:42:09.920 --> 00:42:18.119
because you can edit video and audio on there. And

507
00:42:19.079 --> 00:42:26.039
I thought I went on to chat ept to ask

508
00:42:26.480 --> 00:42:30.639
a question and I can't remember what the question was,

509
00:42:32.119 --> 00:42:34.639
but I'd asked them you No, I went back onto

510
00:42:34.719 --> 00:42:38.159
last night's questions to try and help me to fix

511
00:42:38.280 --> 00:42:44.880
the editing software that I had problems with, because that's

512
00:42:44.880 --> 00:42:47.360
what I thought it was, because when I wasn't in

513
00:42:47.519 --> 00:42:54.920
that editing software, the screen seemed to be working okay,

514
00:42:56.920 --> 00:43:12.159
and dawned on me maybe just maybe it's not the screen. No,

515
00:43:12.599 --> 00:43:16.880
maybe maybe it's not the the It might not be

516
00:43:17.000 --> 00:43:21.360
the app. Maybe it's the screen not the app. And

517
00:43:21.400 --> 00:43:24.039
if it's a screen, that means it's something going on

518
00:43:24.199 --> 00:43:33.480
with the iPad. So it took me a whole day

519
00:43:33.559 --> 00:43:38.519
to come up with this. So I think, oh, you know,

520
00:43:38.639 --> 00:43:41.199
I do come up with solutions eventually, but it's not

521
00:43:41.199 --> 00:43:50.320
always quick. So I asked chet GPT instead of saying, oh,

522
00:43:50.400 --> 00:43:53.760
the editing software is not working, have you got a

523
00:43:53.800 --> 00:43:59.800
fix for that, which I've done yesterday this morning, I said,

524
00:44:00.599 --> 00:44:04.960
I wrote down, the iPad's not working, the screen's not

525
00:44:05.079 --> 00:44:07.599
working on the touch screen is not working on the iPad.

526
00:44:09.159 --> 00:44:14.599
Please help me. Went through a few different things that

527
00:44:14.639 --> 00:44:18.559
I'd already done previously. So I'd already cleaned the screen.

528
00:44:20.400 --> 00:44:30.320
I'd already oh yeah, I'd already turned it on and

529
00:44:30.360 --> 00:44:33.480
off or off and on. So I've done that. I've

530
00:44:33.480 --> 00:44:37.679
done that stuff, you know, the basic stuff. And then

531
00:44:37.719 --> 00:44:42.760
it said, well, reset all settings. Reset put it back

532
00:44:42.800 --> 00:44:46.159
to factory settings almost or maybe not factory settings, but

533
00:44:46.320 --> 00:44:51.440
reset the whole thing. So it's basically the knob that

534
00:44:51.480 --> 00:44:55.159
you press or the button that you press when you

535
00:44:55.239 --> 00:44:59.519
want to transfer all your stuff onto your new iPad.

536
00:45:01.239 --> 00:45:05.840
But it gives you two options. You can transfer or reset.

537
00:45:07.519 --> 00:45:12.199
So I resetted it, so the whole thing turned off.

538
00:45:12.599 --> 00:45:14.800
I had to press yes, yes, yes, yes a few times,

539
00:45:15.320 --> 00:45:21.119
not quite sure what I was agreeing to, and it

540
00:45:21.199 --> 00:45:25.440
took a while for it to power down and do

541
00:45:25.519 --> 00:45:28.519
what it needs to do. Then it I didn't realize

542
00:45:28.559 --> 00:45:33.320
it was actually come back on again because because it

543
00:45:33.360 --> 00:45:38.519
had come back on to its factory settings almost the

544
00:45:38.599 --> 00:45:45.000
screen was going off. After two minutes, I had to

545
00:45:45.039 --> 00:45:47.440
go put that back to being on all the time.

546
00:45:47.800 --> 00:45:56.360
I don't want to keep going off. And it worked fine.

547
00:45:58.199 --> 00:46:06.360
The screen, everything worked fine. So then I go to

548
00:46:06.480 --> 00:46:12.400
use the editor the editor again to open it up,

549
00:46:13.960 --> 00:46:24.199
and the yeah, I had to open the file because

550
00:46:24.239 --> 00:46:27.440
the file the file app's still not there, and I'm thinking,

551
00:46:28.000 --> 00:46:30.920
what's gone on air? I'll have to go and chat

552
00:46:31.000 --> 00:46:33.840
Ebt and ask how to get the file back the

553
00:46:34.039 --> 00:46:37.079
file app. So I just went into the editor app

554
00:46:37.719 --> 00:46:43.239
import file and I was able to find the file

555
00:46:43.760 --> 00:46:48.159
from now I had to download it first from a

556
00:46:48.199 --> 00:46:53.960
spreaker and then get it opened that up and then

557
00:46:54.000 --> 00:47:05.840
I saved it. But then the problem is I had

558
00:47:05.920 --> 00:47:10.079
none of the background music or sounds on my iPad anymore,

559
00:47:13.719 --> 00:47:17.400
which was well, they weren't there. They were there, but

560
00:47:17.400 --> 00:47:20.440
they just weren't like there, you know what I mean

561
00:47:20.440 --> 00:47:24.280
on the actual app, because it app stores recordings unless

562
00:47:24.320 --> 00:47:27.400
you delete them. Its stores are on there. So what

563
00:47:27.440 --> 00:47:29.440
I had to do is go and start looking in

564
00:47:29.679 --> 00:47:35.679
for files on the iPad ones about music, background music,

565
00:47:36.000 --> 00:47:42.119
no music, ten hours, ten hours well or whatever, background music, whisper.

566
00:47:43.079 --> 00:47:48.360
And that took a while to get all that stuff up.

567
00:47:49.320 --> 00:47:53.320
Then what I was having problems with was because of

568
00:47:53.440 --> 00:47:59.000
last night. I ended up uploading two versions two different

569
00:47:59.719 --> 00:48:03.320
editor is the same editor, but two twice. So they

570
00:48:03.400 --> 00:48:06.920
kept swapping over to each other and canceling each other out.

571
00:48:11.880 --> 00:48:16.519
So I had to figure a way to get rid

572
00:48:16.519 --> 00:48:21.920
of one of them, which I did, and eventually I

573
00:48:22.000 --> 00:48:27.599
was able to through a lot of hassle, keep like

574
00:48:27.719 --> 00:48:30.599
important and stuff. It was. It was not easy, but

575
00:48:30.719 --> 00:48:35.920
many should do all all five six versions, including the

576
00:48:35.960 --> 00:48:38.800
one that had already done. So to get all versions done,

577
00:48:38.920 --> 00:48:45.320
it took quite a while to get them done, and

578
00:48:45.360 --> 00:48:50.480
I got them uploaded. It took till this afternoon to

579
00:48:50.480 --> 00:48:56.920
do it. It was gone, Yeah, I think it's gone

580
00:48:57.119 --> 00:49:03.159
gone midday, one o'clock something like that, two o'clock. And

581
00:49:03.239 --> 00:49:20.920
then and I took him out to the park. Oh yeah,

582
00:49:20.920 --> 00:49:23.800
And then I thought, oh, I've done this, good, brilliant.

583
00:49:24.320 --> 00:49:28.239
They'll stay on there now. So tomorrow the next recording

584
00:49:28.280 --> 00:49:30.159
I do to be back to how I was doing

585
00:49:30.159 --> 00:49:33.960
it before. Everything's kind of stored and it's easy to use.

586
00:49:35.159 --> 00:49:37.480
The good thing, I've now got back up on my laptop,

587
00:49:37.599 --> 00:49:44.800
so that's cool. So you know, the background stuff, the

588
00:49:44.960 --> 00:49:51.719
ten hour versions, whatever, that's all stored. So that's good.

589
00:49:52.239 --> 00:49:58.480
But now I'm thinking, but I can't find the files

590
00:49:58.760 --> 00:50:08.960
on my iPad. Just generally, it's just this silly, because

591
00:50:09.239 --> 00:50:10.960
you know, I should be able to just have because

592
00:50:10.960 --> 00:50:12.360
it always used to be at the bottom of the

593
00:50:12.400 --> 00:50:16.000
screen files. Click on it and it shows me. You know,

594
00:50:16.039 --> 00:50:20.519
I've got a choice of iPad iCloud or if I've

595
00:50:20.559 --> 00:50:25.920
got a backup drive or a SD card attached, you know,

596
00:50:26.039 --> 00:50:29.760
so I can choose which one I want. Didn't have

597
00:50:29.920 --> 00:50:37.039
that facility. Facility, not just facility, but facility. When I

598
00:50:37.079 --> 00:50:39.719
said that, it reminded me of nineteen ninety four. For

599
00:50:39.760 --> 00:50:43.719
some reason, just ran a corner from the swimming pool

600
00:50:45.199 --> 00:50:51.519
and that weird connections. Maybe I said that word facility

601
00:50:53.519 --> 00:50:56.000
and it meant something at the time. I don't know.

602
00:50:58.000 --> 00:51:02.159
So it was a Stratford Well Forest Skate actually that's

603
00:51:02.159 --> 00:51:07.119
where the swimming pool was, forest Gate. It was more

604
00:51:07.320 --> 00:51:13.679
east Ham college area was it was it? I think

605
00:51:13.760 --> 00:51:23.480
so east Ham College, so forest Gate up to the end,

606
00:51:25.960 --> 00:51:33.559
turn left joins on to the Romford Road, which also

607
00:51:33.639 --> 00:51:35.760
leads if you turn and right, goes all the way

608
00:51:35.800 --> 00:51:42.440
up to Stratford. Also, if you get towards Stratford, turn

609
00:51:42.519 --> 00:51:45.159
left leads you to my Land, or if you turn

610
00:51:45.320 --> 00:51:48.320
right rather than Stratford leads you up to Leighton and

611
00:51:48.440 --> 00:51:51.840
leyton Stone and then you can turn left again which

612
00:51:51.960 --> 00:52:04.840
leads you to East seventeen. Trying to think left Forresco

613
00:52:04.960 --> 00:52:08.320
that leads to Yeah, that's I think that's is where

614
00:52:08.320 --> 00:52:10.679
that sum and Paul is. Unless it was right, I

615
00:52:10.719 --> 00:52:14.039
think it's left and then on that side of left

616
00:52:14.079 --> 00:52:18.079
down side, but on the right hand side there's It

617
00:52:18.239 --> 00:52:23.000
was east Ham College. So I went there a couple

618
00:52:23.039 --> 00:52:28.119
of times. Yes, also had my counseling there as well.

619
00:52:32.639 --> 00:52:36.559
I did a course. I kind of missed those days.

620
00:52:36.679 --> 00:52:41.599
It's a little bit weird. And in ninety ninety eight,

621
00:52:44.280 --> 00:52:51.000
I think it was ninety eight, I went to the

622
00:52:51.079 --> 00:52:54.880
job center and they had courses that I could go to,

623
00:52:56.239 --> 00:52:59.840
you know, to learn new skills, and I decided to

624
00:52:59.840 --> 00:53:05.159
go on a computer course and it was really it

625
00:53:05.239 --> 00:53:08.239
was very basic it was, but it's very thorough at

626
00:53:08.239 --> 00:53:17.960
the same time, and it was learning word what do

627
00:53:18.000 --> 00:53:24.239
you call it? Typing? It was kind of a typing

628
00:53:24.320 --> 00:53:28.960
course really, but on a computer. So I suppose learning

629
00:53:29.000 --> 00:53:31.480
to use word like word World would be kind of

630
00:53:31.599 --> 00:53:35.519
the word processing app, wouldn't it whatever on laptop one

631
00:53:35.599 --> 00:53:42.119
computers rather PCs back in the nineties. So I went

632
00:53:42.159 --> 00:53:46.480
along to this thing for I don't know. I didn't

633
00:53:46.519 --> 00:53:55.079
stick at it, but I did go along. I did

634
00:53:55.119 --> 00:53:57.719
another one actually, when I first moved in there, went

635
00:53:57.760 --> 00:54:05.719
to a computer course. I wonder if there's anything like that,

636
00:54:05.760 --> 00:54:13.199
I could do something a little bit different. I don't know.

637
00:54:14.400 --> 00:54:21.280
It's just the going out, isn't it. I was fine

638
00:54:21.320 --> 00:54:24.920
back then, though, Like I wasn't fine. What means I

639
00:54:24.920 --> 00:54:30.039
could go out and do stuff? Oh? Well, so things.

640
00:54:30.079 --> 00:54:34.719
When I moved here, I was literally living in town

641
00:54:35.840 --> 00:54:39.559
before I moved here, the previous two addresses. I was

642
00:54:40.800 --> 00:54:45.199
a very short walk from the town center, so I

643
00:54:45.280 --> 00:54:50.360
was used to going to the supermarket every day pretty

644
00:54:50.440 --> 00:54:57.519
much to buy my daily food, and meeting up with

645
00:54:57.639 --> 00:55:02.760
friends at coffee places or going for a walk in

646
00:55:02.800 --> 00:55:08.760
the park to feed the squirrels. So I had a

647
00:55:08.800 --> 00:55:15.440
degree of activity which I don't have anymore, which I

648
00:55:15.480 --> 00:55:22.320
think was useful because I know i'd go out. I

649
00:55:22.320 --> 00:55:24.360
don't know what time i'd go out, but maybe i'd

650
00:55:24.360 --> 00:55:31.639
go out, you know, ten eleven, twelve or whatever, and

651
00:55:31.679 --> 00:55:35.760
i'd come back home about three. So go and feed

652
00:55:35.800 --> 00:55:40.719
the squirrels. Maybe I'll get something to eat. Go feed

653
00:55:40.760 --> 00:55:46.079
the squirrels, Go and maybe go and chat to some

654
00:55:46.159 --> 00:55:49.719
friends in the Evolution Shop, which was the Buddhist shop,

655
00:55:51.519 --> 00:56:00.960
and potter around. Go home, make myself some tea cakes.

656
00:56:02.039 --> 00:56:04.159
I think in them days, I was having a teacake

657
00:56:04.519 --> 00:56:10.639
and a toasted tea cake, maybe a cup of tea,

658
00:56:10.639 --> 00:56:13.039
but I think it was possibly a can of coke.

659
00:56:14.679 --> 00:56:19.519
And I'd watch something on TV that like would be

660
00:56:19.559 --> 00:56:22.239
an old seventies sitcom would be on at that time,

661
00:56:22.760 --> 00:56:33.639
like Terry in June or George and Mildred. You know,

662
00:56:34.000 --> 00:56:37.480
so it's and I just love it. It's just like

663
00:56:37.559 --> 00:56:40.639
a little bit of a little bit of pleasure time,

664
00:56:40.679 --> 00:56:44.719
you know. It would only be like for half an hour,

665
00:56:44.840 --> 00:56:49.960
maybe an hour, and that would kind of be the

666
00:56:50.039 --> 00:56:54.599
day done kind of especially in the winter because it'd

667
00:56:54.639 --> 00:57:03.360
be dark by then. I do sort of sometimes wish

668
00:57:03.400 --> 00:57:07.880
that I held out and found somewhere a bit closer

669
00:57:07.920 --> 00:57:12.559
to town, just so I could. But I don't know,

670
00:57:15.880 --> 00:57:18.760
I don't know. It doesn't matter, is it? What if

671
00:57:18.880 --> 00:57:22.239
ifs and bits and bots and whatever. You know, this

672
00:57:22.320 --> 00:57:26.079
is where I moved and this is where I that's

673
00:57:26.119 --> 00:57:33.119
where I am. And if I hadn't moved here, two

674
00:57:33.159 --> 00:57:35.559
of the really, you know, I wouldn't have had Andre

675
00:57:36.840 --> 00:57:39.840
and I wouldn't have had this little one here, Vinny.

676
00:57:41.239 --> 00:57:43.400
So those are two things that wouldn't have happened in

677
00:57:43.440 --> 00:57:55.360
my life. And yeah, I'm not Yeah, it is what

678
00:57:55.400 --> 00:58:03.679
it is, isn't it. So? But then, yeah, I remember

679
00:58:03.719 --> 00:58:06.559
when I first moved in there. I think i'd been

680
00:58:06.599 --> 00:58:10.599
there for about four weeks, and I remember I was

681
00:58:10.599 --> 00:58:12.519
sitting over there at the table, which was in the

682
00:58:12.559 --> 00:58:16.920
corner at the time, near the window. The phone rang.

683
00:58:18.519 --> 00:58:20.000
The other end of the voice at the other end

684
00:58:20.039 --> 00:58:22.320
of the voice, the other end of the phone said hello,

685
00:58:22.440 --> 00:58:27.320
mister Newland. I said hello. I said, just check that

686
00:58:27.360 --> 00:58:31.599
you if you're available to come and come and have

687
00:58:31.719 --> 00:58:37.519
a viewing of the flat. I said. I said, I'm

688
00:58:37.519 --> 00:58:40.639
already here. I live here. I'll be there for about

689
00:58:40.679 --> 00:58:46.000
three weeks, four weeks. And she said no. The the one,

690
00:58:47.039 --> 00:58:48.760
and it was a flat that was in the same

691
00:58:48.800 --> 00:58:55.719
town where my name lived, no where my dad lived.

692
00:58:55.719 --> 00:58:58.320
My name was gone by that point, sorry it was,

693
00:58:59.159 --> 00:59:01.400
but that's where my name used to live, but as

694
00:59:02.039 --> 00:59:07.400
it was a town where my dad lives, and I

695
00:59:07.480 --> 00:59:09.559
kind of put that down as one of my areas

696
00:59:09.800 --> 00:59:13.559
on the housing list because I thought maybe it would

697
00:59:13.559 --> 00:59:18.079
be good to be closer to the family, you know.

698
00:59:23.239 --> 00:59:29.719
And I'd had a phone call from them, probably eight

699
00:59:29.760 --> 00:59:34.280
weeks earlier, seven weeks earlier, telling me that I was

700
00:59:34.320 --> 00:59:36.119
at the top of the list for a flat in

701
00:59:36.199 --> 00:59:42.079
that town. But then I didn't hear anything from them

702
00:59:42.119 --> 00:59:45.000
at all. And then I've got another phone call saying

703
00:59:45.159 --> 00:59:48.239
we've got you, We've got you a view in at

704
00:59:48.239 --> 00:59:50.920
this place. So I just figured that the other one

705
00:59:50.960 --> 00:59:54.840
had gone, you know, I didn't realize. I've figured I

706
00:59:54.840 --> 00:59:58.639
was dealing with the same department, same people, even the

707
00:59:58.679 --> 01:00:01.320
same person, I don't know, and the other place was gone.

708
01:00:01.400 --> 01:00:05.480
So I just thought, okay, fair enough, and I knew

709
01:00:05.519 --> 01:00:09.320
that I couldn't. I wasn't in a position to turn

710
01:00:09.440 --> 01:00:15.800
down a property. Really, I was very lucky to be

711
01:00:15.840 --> 01:00:20.800
at the top of the list and they had a

712
01:00:21.000 --> 01:00:22.519
I don't know if they had a rule at the time.

713
01:00:22.559 --> 01:00:26.719
I think it was you were allowed to turn down

714
01:00:28.280 --> 01:00:33.719
two properties but not the third one. I think that

715
01:00:33.840 --> 01:00:37.719
was a rule back then. I might be wrong. I

716
01:00:37.719 --> 01:00:45.719
have no idea what the rule is now, and so

717
01:00:45.880 --> 01:00:48.480
I jumped. I mean, I just couldn't believe that I was.

718
01:00:49.639 --> 01:00:51.480
I was literally being off of a flat. You know,

719
01:00:51.679 --> 01:00:55.920
it's yours. They said to me, you just got to

720
01:00:55.960 --> 01:00:58.199
come and look at it. If you want it, it's yours.

721
01:00:59.639 --> 01:01:05.239
You got first refusal. Now there were other people, and

722
01:01:05.760 --> 01:01:08.480
there was like two other people that were waiting to

723
01:01:08.519 --> 01:01:12.639
see this flat that had appointments after me. Now, I

724
01:01:12.679 --> 01:01:15.519
was never in that position. I never went to look

725
01:01:15.559 --> 01:01:18.559
at a property that I wasn't first in line for.

726
01:01:20.000 --> 01:01:21.920
And this is the only property I ever looked at.

727
01:01:23.960 --> 01:01:29.800
And I'm kind of it's not that I'm glad I

728
01:01:29.840 --> 01:01:34.079
only got to look at one property, but that it

729
01:01:34.239 --> 01:01:36.760
all have been. I wouldn't have enjoyed that process of

730
01:01:38.239 --> 01:01:42.199
It's almost like going for a job interview, isn't It's like, well,

731
01:01:42.280 --> 01:01:44.400
I'm looking at this property, but I might not have it,

732
01:01:44.440 --> 01:01:47.039
and there's two more people ahead of me, Like, no,

733
01:01:48.000 --> 01:01:53.280
I just didn't fancy that. Orthough I did say other

734
01:01:53.320 --> 01:01:56.719
people had turned it down. That's why it was still available.

735
01:01:58.159 --> 01:02:00.960
And I kind of find out found out why when

736
01:02:01.039 --> 01:02:04.880
I when I moved in, why it was I think

737
01:02:04.920 --> 01:02:08.400
people do they did a little bit of research, maybe

738
01:02:08.559 --> 01:02:10.519
more than I did. I've never even heard of the

739
01:02:10.559 --> 01:02:23.280
place before, so I was just super excited that so

740
01:02:23.400 --> 01:02:26.440
last time I was excited. I think I was excited

741
01:02:26.480 --> 01:02:36.760
at just the whole life transforming possibilities of for the

742
01:02:36.800 --> 01:02:43.360
first time having my own home. And I know I

743
01:02:43.400 --> 01:02:46.760
don't own it, obviously, I don't own a place, but

744
01:02:46.840 --> 01:02:52.039
it is my home and the only way I can

745
01:02:52.119 --> 01:02:58.519
lose this home is by doing something ridiculously looked really ridiculous. Yeah,

746
01:02:58.760 --> 01:03:01.639
not paid the rent for a long period of time,

747
01:03:02.840 --> 01:03:06.800
or not paid a council tax or you know, I

748
01:03:06.840 --> 01:03:14.800
don't know, I don't know what, but it's pretty much

749
01:03:14.880 --> 01:03:17.079
the lady said to me, it's a home for life

750
01:03:17.159 --> 01:03:24.559
if you want it to be. And I've actually been

751
01:03:24.639 --> 01:03:28.440
here longer than any other property ever in my life,

752
01:03:29.119 --> 01:03:38.079
never lived anywhere for ten years before ever, which you know,

753
01:03:39.880 --> 01:03:41.400
if an eight year old said that to you, you

754
01:03:41.559 --> 01:03:49.440
wouldn't be surprised, which I but fifty four first place

755
01:03:49.480 --> 01:03:55.639
I've lived ten years at so, Yeah, it's it's weird,

756
01:03:55.719 --> 01:03:58.039
and I think for I don't know if he likes

757
01:03:58.079 --> 01:04:00.920
living here now, I don't know. I've had him for

758
01:04:01.000 --> 01:04:05.360
two years and two and a half years now does

759
01:04:05.360 --> 01:04:11.960
he like it? How would I know? I mean, he's

760
01:04:12.000 --> 01:04:15.400
coldled up to my legs. I'm basically on the recliner

761
01:04:16.840 --> 01:04:22.559
and so I've got my legs up and he's lying

762
01:04:22.760 --> 01:04:27.840
to the left of me, and I'm just stroking him,

763
01:04:28.920 --> 01:04:40.840
and he seems very relaxed. I think he's relatively happy.

764
01:04:42.039 --> 01:04:45.320
It's just I think it's just a bit boring for him,

765
01:04:46.519 --> 01:04:51.920
this very little stimulation. Yeah, there's no other dogs for

766
01:04:52.000 --> 01:04:54.280
him to play with. There's no kids for him to

767
01:04:54.280 --> 01:04:56.840
play with. That he would have if he was in

768
01:04:56.880 --> 01:05:00.440
a family. He'd love that, if he was in a

769
01:05:00.440 --> 01:05:05.400
a big family with adults and kids and maybe another dog,

770
01:05:06.400 --> 01:05:10.960
a big guard and I love all that stuff. It's

771
01:05:11.760 --> 01:05:14.760
it's just be I think you'd just be happy all

772
01:05:14.760 --> 01:05:22.840
the time. I just don't know. I don't know. I

773
01:05:22.880 --> 01:05:29.480
can't figure him out because there's not one there's not

774
01:05:29.599 --> 01:05:32.480
one ounce of him, not one part of his brain

775
01:05:35.239 --> 01:05:38.599
wants to please me. He does, He's not he doesn't

776
01:05:38.639 --> 01:05:49.519
want to He's not interested at all in doing what

777
01:05:49.599 --> 01:05:56.920
I wanted to do, not one particle. It's all about

778
01:05:57.239 --> 01:05:59.599
he wants to do what he wants to do, and

779
01:05:59.599 --> 01:06:02.480
that's it. And I kind of quite like that in

780
01:06:02.519 --> 01:06:06.079
a way. He just reminds me of Andre, because Andrea

781
01:06:06.239 --> 01:06:09.599
was the same. I was going to say Andrea was

782
01:06:09.679 --> 01:06:15.159
more affectionate. Not the beginning, he wasn't blind me. But

783
01:06:15.159 --> 01:06:19.800
but then, I mean, Viny's line here right next to me,

784
01:06:19.880 --> 01:06:22.480
cudt it up to me. So that's kind of affection,

785
01:06:22.599 --> 01:06:27.119
isn't it. Possibly. I mean, if he didn't, if you

786
01:06:27.159 --> 01:06:29.960
didn't like me, he wouldn't be doing that. I just

787
01:06:29.960 --> 01:06:33.760
don't know if he likes me. I don't know. It's

788
01:06:33.800 --> 01:06:37.679
a weird thing. It's just strange to think that he's

789
01:06:37.719 --> 01:06:44.519
lived here for two and a half years. It just

790
01:06:44.559 --> 01:06:48.559
seems strange. In two and a half years, I fell

791
01:06:48.599 --> 01:06:51.920
down the stairs and fractured my spine, my spine, my back.

792
01:06:52.000 --> 01:06:57.079
Rather two and a half years ago, that's ages ago.

793
01:06:58.519 --> 01:07:03.280
I remember the opened the door, the front door. He

794
01:07:03.400 --> 01:07:05.960
might think, well, you're opening the door every day, don't you.

795
01:07:06.039 --> 01:07:09.119
I said, yeah, but let me finish the story. I

796
01:07:09.159 --> 01:07:12.000
remember the first the day that opened the front door.

797
01:07:12.480 --> 01:07:15.960
My friend from downstairs was standing there his LOGI was

798
01:07:16.000 --> 01:07:19.880
standing there as well, and this tiny little red thing

799
01:07:20.000 --> 01:07:23.559
just ran through my legs and my friend was laughing,

800
01:07:24.039 --> 01:07:30.519
really laughing loudly. What the hell was that? I actually,

801
01:07:30.559 --> 01:07:33.880
for a second I thought he'd got another ferret because

802
01:07:34.159 --> 01:07:38.199
it moved so quick, and it was really little. I mean,

803
01:07:40.559 --> 01:07:42.960
it wasn't much smaller than he is now. At the time,

804
01:07:43.719 --> 01:07:46.599
he was ten months old, so I guess it was

805
01:07:46.639 --> 01:07:49.239
still kind of a puppy, but it was stills filled

806
01:07:49.239 --> 01:07:53.320
out a bit since then. To give you an example,

807
01:07:53.840 --> 01:07:57.280
the railings in the school. There's a school nearby. He

808
01:07:57.360 --> 01:08:00.239
used to be able to get through those railings run

809
01:08:00.280 --> 01:08:08.079
around the football pitch or well, I didn't actually he

810
01:08:08.079 --> 01:08:10.039
he did that in the past with the neighbor that

811
01:08:10.119 --> 01:08:13.679
had him before. He actually went into the school and

812
01:08:13.760 --> 01:08:16.119
ran around inside the school. The kids loved it, the

813
01:08:16.159 --> 01:08:22.079
teachers weren't so happy. And when I first got him,

814
01:08:23.720 --> 01:08:26.039
I I think I had him off the lead because

815
01:08:26.079 --> 01:08:30.359
I thought I could trust him. I was wrong, and

816
01:08:30.399 --> 01:08:34.880
I was checking the ball and the ball went over

817
01:08:34.960 --> 01:08:40.119
the fence of the school and I'm thinking, oh, that's it.

818
01:08:40.960 --> 01:08:45.720
I mean, technically I think. I'm not sure if this

819
01:08:45.920 --> 01:08:47.920
was it might have been a Saturday, they might have

820
01:08:47.960 --> 01:08:50.560
be an open I don't know, but either way, I

821
01:08:50.600 --> 01:08:54.760
can't climb over that fence. It's just I'm not It's

822
01:08:54.800 --> 01:08:59.079
not that I'm not from an illegal perspective, because if

823
01:08:59.079 --> 01:09:00.600
it was a set, I wouldn't it. If the school

824
01:09:00.680 --> 01:09:03.560
was open, if it was a Saturday, I could just

825
01:09:03.760 --> 01:09:05.880
zip over and get back and zip over back again.

826
01:09:05.920 --> 01:09:10.239
But my body is not. My body doesn't go along

827
01:09:10.239 --> 01:09:14.119
with that stuff like that. My body's banned me from

828
01:09:15.079 --> 01:09:19.520
jumping over fences ever since. I think it was about

829
01:09:19.520 --> 01:09:22.279
two thousand and nine. The last time I tried that,

830
01:09:22.439 --> 01:09:28.479
I got stuck. I did actually get stuck on a

831
01:09:28.520 --> 01:09:37.960
fence a couple of times in the past, and there

832
01:09:38.000 --> 01:09:45.199
was one time it was weird. Nineteen ninety four was

833
01:09:45.399 --> 01:09:53.920
with Andre. We went for a walk and I wasn't

834
01:09:54.000 --> 01:09:56.199
living out the time, but it's before I moved into

835
01:09:56.239 --> 01:09:59.279
that house where my other friend and his girlfriend was

836
01:09:59.319 --> 01:10:07.520
there and we were all watching Meet the Feebles and

837
01:10:08.039 --> 01:10:11.479
just having a really good time. It was really nice,

838
01:10:12.359 --> 01:10:17.840
probably one of my probably one of my most enjoyable

839
01:10:19.119 --> 01:10:26.359
evenings of the nineties with friends, because I liked both

840
01:10:26.399 --> 01:10:30.319
of those people, both of the blokes that is, so Andre,

841
01:10:30.520 --> 01:10:35.640
his girlfriend and his girlfriend's boyfriend who was also best

842
01:10:35.640 --> 01:10:38.840
friends with Andre, and I ended up being really really

843
01:10:38.920 --> 01:10:42.800
close friends to him as well. So I ended up

844
01:10:42.800 --> 01:10:49.479
living with him twice twice, once twice, no, twice. So

845
01:10:49.760 --> 01:10:54.279
it was such a good environment and it was really funny.

846
01:10:54.840 --> 01:10:59.159
The neighbors kept complaining, now there's someone else there as well, Yeah,

847
01:10:59.319 --> 01:11:04.960
there's someone else there who we worked with, and we

848
01:11:05.000 --> 01:11:08.119
were watching Meet the Feebles, and it was just I've

849
01:11:08.159 --> 01:11:15.199
never seen it before, and in that circumstances it was

850
01:11:15.279 --> 01:11:19.399
even funnier than perhaps it would have been. The neighbors

851
01:11:19.439 --> 01:11:24.880
kept cli kept like knocking on the door, complaining, And

852
01:11:25.319 --> 01:11:29.159
I'm not I'm not a big fan of being noisy, really,

853
01:11:29.359 --> 01:11:37.119
and I really I'll pretty much do anything to avoid

854
01:11:37.319 --> 01:11:43.199
disturbing the neighbors. Unless I'm on the toilet, then nothing

855
01:11:43.239 --> 01:11:48.680
I can do about it. And it echo. It's hard

856
01:11:48.720 --> 01:11:51.880
to hide the echo, isn't it. I had a girlfriend

857
01:11:51.920 --> 01:11:55.920
once she went We was in a hotel room and

858
01:11:55.960 --> 01:11:57.880
she went in and she put the she put the

859
01:11:58.079 --> 01:12:03.279
tap on because she didn't want me to hear what

860
01:12:03.319 --> 01:12:08.560
she was doing. And she left and I went in there.

861
01:12:08.560 --> 01:12:12.319
I said, you know, you turn that tap on to

862
01:12:12.319 --> 01:12:15.039
cover up you know. She said, yeah, yes, it covers

863
01:12:15.079 --> 01:12:17.199
up the sound. Said yeah, didn't come up with the

864
01:12:17.239 --> 01:12:23.239
smell though. That sind of ruined the romance though for

865
01:12:23.319 --> 01:12:26.520
that night. Yeah, I should have kept her mouth shut.

866
01:12:27.800 --> 01:12:34.800
So what was I saying? Oh? Yeah, they kept complaining,

867
01:12:34.840 --> 01:12:38.279
But the more they complained, the funnier it got. Honestly,

868
01:12:38.479 --> 01:12:40.439
I'm not like that now, and I wasn't like that

869
01:12:40.479 --> 01:12:43.680
then either. It just I suppose I got caught up

870
01:12:43.720 --> 01:12:47.720
in the moment because I wasn't used to being around

871
01:12:49.439 --> 01:12:55.399
other young people of my own age doing what perhaps

872
01:12:55.439 --> 01:13:00.560
I should have been doing, which was enjoying myself, not

873
01:13:00.600 --> 01:13:05.720
disturbing anyone. But just I don't know how to explain it.

874
01:13:05.760 --> 01:13:09.880
But I'd never done that before. I'd never done it before. Yeah,

875
01:13:09.920 --> 01:13:12.920
before nineteen ninety four. So I let's score ninety six

876
01:13:13.399 --> 01:13:18.640
eighty six. So nineteen ninety four was the first time

877
01:13:18.800 --> 01:13:25.760
I actually sat in a house with friends laughing. I've

878
01:13:25.800 --> 01:13:32.880
never done that up to that point, and just having fun,

879
01:13:33.239 --> 01:13:39.680
just being a young person. Yeah, so it was just

880
01:13:39.760 --> 01:13:43.159
quite a special occasion. I didn't tell them that. What

881
01:13:43.319 --> 01:13:49.520
was weird is Andre and another friend, different person. Because

882
01:13:49.600 --> 01:13:51.680
I never had anything to do with anyone I worked

883
01:13:51.720 --> 01:13:55.560
with outside of work. That's my rule. I want nothing

884
01:13:55.600 --> 01:13:59.880
to do with you. It's just it's like or sometimes

885
01:13:59.880 --> 01:14:03.279
I go to the pub, I would or you know,

886
01:14:03.399 --> 01:14:05.640
something like that, but it wouldn't. I wouldn't. Well, I'd

887
01:14:05.680 --> 01:14:07.479
maybe meet them in the pub, but I would never

888
01:14:08.520 --> 01:14:15.439
generally get involved in their life. And then one day

889
01:14:15.439 --> 01:14:17.880
I'm walking home from work. This is probably ninety four

890
01:14:20.359 --> 01:14:27.880
and eighty four, ninety four, ninety four, and I'm only

891
01:14:27.920 --> 01:14:30.640
here in for probably about a minute talking to my

892
01:14:30.720 --> 01:14:37.279
landlady I did there since ninety one. And the doorbell

893
01:14:37.319 --> 01:14:39.960
went and I said, oh, I'll get that. Because she

894
01:14:40.119 --> 01:14:43.359
was she she had she was disabled, so I'd always

895
01:14:43.359 --> 01:14:48.199
get the door for her, if if if she could

896
01:14:48.239 --> 01:14:52.199
see me, yeah, if she couldn't see me, and I'd hide.

897
01:14:53.159 --> 01:14:55.600
But you know, because I don't like to help people,

898
01:14:56.039 --> 01:14:59.439
No I did, I let her answered. I walked towards

899
01:14:59.439 --> 01:15:04.199
the door, and all here is giggling. I look for

900
01:15:04.279 --> 01:15:09.279
the people. There's Andre, not my ferret, the other the

901
01:15:09.319 --> 01:15:14.640
original Andre and the other fella. They'd followed me from

902
01:15:14.680 --> 01:15:19.119
home from from home, I nearly said, from school they've

903
01:15:19.159 --> 01:15:26.119
followed me from work, followed me all the way. I'm

904
01:15:26.119 --> 01:15:28.520
not sure it's ninety four, it's one one year anyway,

905
01:15:29.399 --> 01:15:34.520
And they'd followed me because I wanted to find out

906
01:15:34.520 --> 01:15:43.079
where I lived, and I just felt infringe upon. I

907
01:15:43.199 --> 01:15:50.239
felt almost not soiled, but just it just felt I

908
01:15:50.319 --> 01:15:52.840
just didn't like it. The idea of someone known where

909
01:15:52.840 --> 01:15:58.880
I live. I wasn't wasn't best pleased with that. But yeah, so,

910
01:15:59.239 --> 01:16:01.600
but I guess that was good because it ended up

911
01:16:01.720 --> 01:16:06.479
would be ended up with me being a little bit

912
01:16:06.479 --> 01:16:11.640
more open and spending a bit more, having more of

913
01:16:11.680 --> 01:16:17.920
a little bit more of a social life, because up

914
01:16:17.960 --> 01:16:20.800
to that point, my social life involved going to comedy

915
01:16:20.800 --> 01:16:26.479
clubs or wanderinger. Well, actually, isn't a social life if

916
01:16:26.560 --> 01:16:28.920
you're on your own, is it? So? I used to

917
01:16:29.079 --> 01:16:31.560
like to go up to the West End on my own,

918
01:16:33.720 --> 01:16:36.399
one of my favorite things, and often it would be

919
01:16:36.439 --> 01:16:44.760
after going to a comedy club, I go to Leicester Square.

920
01:16:44.880 --> 01:16:50.119
Is it Leicester Square? Yeah? Leicester Square, Notrefile Square. Leicester Square.

921
01:16:51.439 --> 01:16:54.560
And well you've got Covent Garden and Leicester Square. It's

922
01:16:54.600 --> 01:16:59.239
all seems to be within touch and distance. I think

923
01:16:59.279 --> 01:17:01.239
I might have that wrong. But I used to go

924
01:17:01.279 --> 01:17:04.319
to Leicester Square and it was amazing. I loved it.

925
01:17:05.760 --> 01:17:08.079
Now everything was open. You'd be there two in the

926
01:17:08.119 --> 01:17:12.960
morning and it looked like it could be two in

927
01:17:12.960 --> 01:17:18.479
the afternoon, you know, so light, all the lights on,

928
01:17:19.039 --> 01:17:29.000
everyone around talking, eating, you know, chatted. There'd be people taught, like,

929
01:17:29.079 --> 01:17:34.319
having discussions about stuff, kind of like Speaker's Corner, but

930
01:17:34.479 --> 01:17:38.840
Intraviagal Square in Leicester Square, so I think Speakers corners

931
01:17:38.840 --> 01:17:44.000
in Hyde Park, but there'd be people discussing religion and

932
01:17:44.079 --> 01:17:52.119
discussing philosophy. And I just found it interested. And for

933
01:17:52.239 --> 01:17:59.720
whatever reason, it felt like the safest place ever. Maybe

934
01:17:59.760 --> 01:18:01.960
it's it was so well lit. Maybe because there were

935
01:18:02.079 --> 01:18:05.079
so many people there. I think it gets a point

936
01:18:05.079 --> 01:18:08.199
when there's so many people it almost just feels safe.

937
01:18:10.359 --> 01:18:12.840
So it's a weird. Maybe it's just the way I

938
01:18:12.960 --> 01:18:18.399
was at the time. But it's when it's so many

939
01:18:18.840 --> 01:18:22.159
it's a little bit like I used to live in

940
01:18:22.239 --> 01:18:26.079
Upton Park, which is there used to be west Down

941
01:18:26.159 --> 01:18:29.560
Football Ground in that same road that I lived in.

942
01:18:30.880 --> 01:18:33.119
So i'd walk up one part of the hill towards

943
01:18:33.159 --> 01:18:37.640
up the Park train station and if I caught it wrong,

944
01:18:37.920 --> 01:18:41.399
if I caught the wrong time. I would see thousands

945
01:18:41.439 --> 01:18:48.119
and thousands, maybe ten thousand or more people walking towards me,

946
01:18:49.880 --> 01:18:52.880
going to get onto the trains to go back to

947
01:18:52.960 --> 01:18:58.000
where they came from, you know, wherever, whatever part of London,

948
01:18:58.079 --> 01:19:03.920
wherever they traveled from. And it was weird. If there'd

949
01:19:03.960 --> 01:19:06.600
been a couple of one hundred people, it probably would

950
01:19:06.640 --> 01:19:10.920
have been more, almost more threatening, if there'd be like

951
01:19:11.079 --> 01:19:14.760
forty or fifty people all standing together walking Because there

952
01:19:14.800 --> 01:19:20.399
was thousands and thousands. The only thing I was concerned

953
01:19:20.439 --> 01:19:24.199
about was getting squashed, like on the train. I mean

954
01:19:24.600 --> 01:19:26.319
to try and get on the train before they got

955
01:19:26.319 --> 01:19:30.159
to the train station so I could just I'd go

956
01:19:30.239 --> 01:19:35.640
anywhere just to get away because it was never good.

957
01:19:35.680 --> 01:19:39.600
It was just I mean generally it was just people singing,

958
01:19:42.319 --> 01:19:44.840
but there was so many of them, so there was

959
01:19:44.880 --> 01:19:47.000
no way of really getting It's quite hard to get

960
01:19:47.039 --> 01:19:53.159
a seat and not be squashed, you know. Ah, those

961
01:19:53.159 --> 01:19:59.319
are the days. Irony. The irony of it is they

962
01:19:59.319 --> 01:20:02.119
didn't seem good good at the time. I look back

963
01:20:02.119 --> 01:20:07.960
now and I think, oh, maybe they weren't too bad.

964
01:20:08.159 --> 01:20:12.840
I don't know. The one good thing about living in

965
01:20:12.920 --> 01:20:20.520
Upton Park was everything was there supermarkets. There was a

966
01:20:20.560 --> 01:20:23.880
pub opposite the road, opposite where we lived. There was

967
01:20:24.880 --> 01:20:33.479
takeaway's galore, anything you wanted, Chinese takeaway, Indian takeaway, pizzas, kebabs,

968
01:20:33.800 --> 01:20:40.000
chip shops, and literally turned right up the road there

969
01:20:40.079 --> 01:20:46.119
was a Sainsbury's. There was an Iceland everything. There was

970
01:20:47.199 --> 01:20:50.479
a chemist, great little road, and there was a market

971
01:20:50.680 --> 01:20:54.520
just up the road where the like a big old

972
01:20:54.760 --> 01:21:00.399
market area which sold all this stuff that I didn't buy.

973
01:21:01.119 --> 01:21:03.960
There was this Yeah, it's a very interesting place to live.

974
01:21:06.319 --> 01:21:12.279
I didn't live there for a long time, but yeah,

975
01:21:12.319 --> 01:21:20.800
I did live there for a little while. You know what,

976
01:21:20.840 --> 01:21:24.560
it might have been nearly a year, actually, no, would

977
01:21:24.640 --> 01:21:30.880
it be maybe nearly a year? Yeah, wow, because I

978
01:21:30.880 --> 01:21:41.039
think I moved out maybe yeah, maybe a year. That's wow.

979
01:21:41.119 --> 01:21:47.479
I didn't realize that. I'm pretty sure I moved in

980
01:21:47.520 --> 01:21:51.880
about the summer or the end of the summer or

981
01:21:51.920 --> 01:21:56.319
the summer maybe two nineteen ninety six, and I moved

982
01:21:56.359 --> 01:22:12.600
out again in the summer nineteen ninety seven. I don't

983
01:22:12.600 --> 01:22:15.960
know how I got onto that after talking about the iPad,

984
01:22:16.239 --> 01:22:25.079
but the iPad sorted, oh yeah, the flat there isn't

985
01:22:25.119 --> 01:22:27.560
really a subject for this record, and I've got no idea.

986
01:22:27.600 --> 01:22:34.279
I'll probably say something about the iPad. If my toes

987
01:22:34.399 --> 01:22:37.000
need cut in why is it? My toe nails don't

988
01:22:37.039 --> 01:22:40.560
grow as quickly as my fingernails. So I had to

989
01:22:40.560 --> 01:22:44.079
cut my fingernails today. And honestly, I think I only

990
01:22:44.119 --> 01:22:46.840
cutting a week ago or a couple of few days ago.

991
01:22:48.119 --> 01:22:50.800
I might be wrong, and I think that my toe

992
01:22:50.880 --> 01:22:58.000
noils I think that was about January. But that doesn't

993
01:22:58.000 --> 01:23:00.600
sound right because they're not long at all. Just they're

994
01:23:00.600 --> 01:23:04.399
not They're still short. So maybe I've cut them. Oh

995
01:23:04.520 --> 01:23:10.760
don't tell me. I I sleep tone noll cut. That'd

996
01:23:10.840 --> 01:23:17.960
be weird, wouldn't it cut my toe nails in my sleep? No,

997
01:23:19.840 --> 01:23:23.920
maybe I have cut them. They're too short. It's like

998
01:23:23.960 --> 01:23:29.000
they're not long at all. They're literally some would argue,

999
01:23:29.279 --> 01:23:34.800
well maybe not many people, but perfect length. They're not talents,

1000
01:23:34.960 --> 01:23:40.760
they're not like massive, they're literally, very very very tidy toenails.

1001
01:23:42.640 --> 01:23:44.520
I must have cut them. I just don't remember doing it.

1002
01:23:45.600 --> 01:23:47.680
But to be fair, why I don't want to remember that.

1003
01:23:50.359 --> 01:23:55.520
It's not the most useful memory to keep, is it really?

1004
01:23:58.199 --> 01:24:02.399
But on that note, am I going to go? I

1005
01:24:02.439 --> 01:24:06.079
am I going to go? So thank you for listening.

1006
01:24:08.720 --> 01:24:13.680
Remember to be kind to yourself because you do deserve

1007
01:24:13.720 --> 01:24:18.399
to be happy, and be gentle with yourself because you

1008
01:24:18.479 --> 01:24:28.920
do deserve to feel safe. Lots of love by
