00:01:28.159 --> 00:01:29.959
I got a few messages I'm going to read out

9
00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:40.879
before I continue. The first message is from Ruth. Hi Jason.

10
00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:44.159
This was sent about an hour ago, an hour and

11
00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:50.680
twenty minutes ago. Hi Jason, I've had sciatica and you

12
00:01:50.840 --> 00:01:54.120
let me You're let me boil. Your pain Away recordings

13
00:01:54.680 --> 00:01:56.920
have been a great help. Thank you, Jason. You're very

14
00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:07.000
much appreciated. So thank you Ruth for your kind words.

15
00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:19.960
Mm hmm, all right, just replied to that message what else?

16
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:22.879
Oh yes, I'm going to go to my Facebook group.

17
00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:30.080
What a minute? What is this? Comments? Three new comments

18
00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:38.039
on your latest record latest picture, So babbling on. I

19
00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:40.400
did a let me boy you pain Away number thirty

20
00:02:40.439 --> 00:02:45.840
eight today called babbling On, And I made a picture

21
00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:50.319
which it took me a while to put together. I mean,

22
00:02:50.360 --> 00:02:52.680
I used AI to do it, but it took a

23
00:02:52.759 --> 00:02:56.039
while because I had to keep making changes to make

24
00:02:56.080 --> 00:03:02.039
it how I wanted it to be. And it it's

25
00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:04.919
a picture of someone with really big teeth. It's a

26
00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:11.439
picture of me, but with really big teeth, babbling on

27
00:03:11.560 --> 00:03:14.960
tatooed on my forehead, let me boil your pain away

28
00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:19.120
number thirty eight, tattooed on my neck, a white string

29
00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:24.400
vest and massive ears with a big mouth on the

30
00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:29.919
ear lobes on each ear lobe. Basically, what it's supposed

31
00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:36.120
to represent is me talking NonStop, you know, and with

32
00:03:36.199 --> 00:03:44.159
the ears instead of listening, they're talking. See Sebastian has replied,

33
00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:50.800
he's he's done. It's done. Got an image of me

34
00:03:51.000 --> 00:04:00.560
and him mixed together, which concerns me in ways that

35
00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:11.840
I cannot express. Really concerned me. So cool, So I

36
00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:16.199
want to go back to let me go Jesson's new

37
00:04:16.279 --> 00:04:20.399
Lands Boring Group. There is a link on my website

38
00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:30.160
which would take you directly to Jason Newland's Boring group,

39
00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:33.399
and it's a little banner at the top of the page.

40
00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:38.879
So I've had a couple of comments on the image

41
00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:46.519
as well, Hope, but that's very disconcerting, and Mike wrote,

42
00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:51.240
disturbing is the word that came to mind to me.

43
00:04:52.519 --> 00:04:56.879
So yes, that's good and glad you all enjoyed my image.

44
00:04:58.439 --> 00:05:05.680
It's h It's just an image. It's also I'm just

45
00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:12.759
gonna focus on yesterday's let me boy the sleep to

46
00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:18.160
offer you. In twenty twenty five iPad error, it was called,

47
00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:22.800
and there's a picture of iPod iPad not working on

48
00:05:22.839 --> 00:05:26.600
the image. So I had a couple of people asked me,

49
00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:30.920
Tammy fell asleep deeply to this one last night. Thank

50
00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:35.279
you very much. Cool, Thank you Tammy. That's groovy, and

51
00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:39.040
I Hope said, I hope it's not your iPad that's

52
00:05:39.079 --> 00:05:46.800
not working. It's not, thanks Hope, it's it was my iPad.

53
00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:52.000
But it's fixed now. So that's all all sorted. Took

54
00:05:52.199 --> 00:05:57.800
me hours and hours to fix it, but got it

55
00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:05.800
done eventually. Thankful. It was a very very time consuming

56
00:06:06.040 --> 00:06:14.160
little adventure. So before I do the questions, I've only

57
00:06:14.199 --> 00:06:19.199
got four questions, well three plus an added on one

58
00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:22.800
to one of them. I left it quite late before

59
00:06:22.839 --> 00:06:26.360
I posted the you know, any questions for tomorrow's Q

60
00:06:26.480 --> 00:06:32.120
and a Friday. I normally post a request for questions

61
00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:35.800
on a Wednesday, and I think I posted this on

62
00:06:35.879 --> 00:06:43.439
a Thursday, well yesterday, but it wasn't even yeah, it

63
00:06:43.480 --> 00:06:49.160
wasn't like early in the day either, probably at night

64
00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:55.680
or twenty three hours ago. So I posted, like, I

65
00:06:55.720 --> 00:07:03.839
don't know, nearly half past nine today evening. It's been

66
00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:10.720
very very warm today, and it's warm now now. It's

67
00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:16.279
really rarely, very rare. Is it warm inside? My flat

68
00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:20.240
in the summer gets warm in the winter with the

69
00:07:20.279 --> 00:07:25.759
heating on. In the summer, doesn't normally get particularly warm.

70
00:07:25.959 --> 00:07:36.480
If anything, it's warmer outside than inside is I don't know.

71
00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:40.279
It's a bit sheltered because the a big tree that's

72
00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:43.639
blocking the sun and stuff. Not blocking the sun for

73
00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:49.360
the whole world, but you know, just this window, and

74
00:07:50.959 --> 00:07:54.120
how can you hear Vinyes chomping away at some bony thing.

75
00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:08.560
I think he is, yeah, he is. But tonight it's

76
00:08:08.600 --> 00:08:13.160
cooling down now. But an hour ago or half an

77
00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:15.839
hour ago, it was like, oh, I was sweating a

78
00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:29.199
little bit. What have I done today? I haven't really

79
00:08:29.240 --> 00:08:33.320
done a lot. I made the recording earlier, did all

80
00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:36.480
the editing, and all that stuff and uploaded that made

81
00:08:36.480 --> 00:08:40.519
an image that took ages to do the image because

82
00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:46.080
I didn't really what I really wanted, which probably would

83
00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:49.879
have been worse or worse than me. It's just like

84
00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:56.240
a stop frame is it called stop frame image of

85
00:08:56.279 --> 00:08:59.759
me just talking non stop? But I might have end

86
00:08:59.799 --> 00:09:03.320
up looking like the alien monster, so perhaps that wouldn't

87
00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:08.279
have been good, or an extra mouth again like the alien.

88
00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:15.320
So yeah, I mean the initial image I had had

89
00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:19.559
it had mouths for it. For the eyes were also mouths.

90
00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:25.879
But my neighbor I popped in and saw them and thought,

91
00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:30.000
he said, no, you should change that. That looks a

92
00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:34.679
bit a little bit grew a little bit, eh. I

93
00:09:34.840 --> 00:09:38.000
admittedly maybe the one I did. You know, I don't

94
00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:40.679
make images to distress people, So if you're anyone who's

95
00:09:40.720 --> 00:09:45.360
truly distressed in don't look at it. I guess you

96
00:09:45.399 --> 00:09:49.360
know I don't. I did it more thought it'd be

97
00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:55.120
quite funny represented someone that doesn't listen but just keeps talking,

98
00:09:55.960 --> 00:09:59.600
so you know that that was the representation. And also

99
00:09:59.679 --> 00:10:06.200
with the tattoos, I'm trying to find a way to

100
00:10:06.240 --> 00:10:09.519
put text into the image. But the whole image was

101
00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:12.360
the face, so there's no room to add to the

102
00:10:12.399 --> 00:10:17.080
title of the recording, so I thought the only space

103
00:10:17.120 --> 00:10:20.320
I had was really the forehead to start with, so

104
00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:22.440
I post, you know, so I put a tattoo over

105
00:10:23.279 --> 00:10:26.919
of the title of the recording. I don't know what

106
00:10:27.000 --> 00:10:30.559
Vinni's trying to do. What are you trying to do? Vinny,

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

108
00:10:34.639 --> 00:10:37.519
eat of the city and don't know what it was.

109
00:10:40.639 --> 00:10:51.000
Put a bit of a biscuit or something, and I

110
00:10:51.120 --> 00:10:58.919
got no idea what it is. He's always up to something. Yeah,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

119
00:11:34.279 --> 00:11:40.200
because Hope was first. Ye Hope was first, then Michelle,

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

121
00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:49.600
in any other country in the world, where would you

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

131
00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:35.600
was a little bit too hot during the day for

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

133
00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:42.720
in the garden, and that it was a little bit

134
00:12:42.720 --> 00:12:46.200
too hot for me. Really, I didn't really I needed

135
00:12:46.200 --> 00:12:50.720
to have a shower before went out, and then I

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

137
00:12:54.960 --> 00:12:58.879
you say? I did? And I'm talking to Viney there

138
00:12:58.919 --> 00:13:01.200
by the way you think I'm talking to you like

139
00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:05.320
a pet. He talked to us like we're animals. No

140
00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:12.440
I don't, no, I don't. No. You good boys and girls,

141
00:13:12.679 --> 00:13:23.679
Yes you are. You're so good, so well behaved. So

142
00:13:23.720 --> 00:13:26.440
I took him out this evening and he was just

143
00:13:26.679 --> 00:13:29.320
plodding along We were out for probably about an hour,

144
00:13:32.159 --> 00:13:35.639
maybe not an hour, maybe thirty forty minutes. But he

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

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

147
00:13:45.759 --> 00:13:50.759
He was just happy sniffing around. And I just followed him,

148
00:13:51.080 --> 00:13:55.279
and he took me around and around and around, didn't you, Hey,

149
00:13:56.360 --> 00:14:02.240
yes you did. It's making some weird noises tonight. Right.

150
00:14:02.679 --> 00:14:05.639
If I could live in any other country, in a world,

151
00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:11.159
where would I like to live, on, my neighbor downstairs

152
00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:17.000
send me a text message at eleven o'clock last night. Now,

153
00:14:17.000 --> 00:14:22.120
I was in bed at nine. Getting text messages doesn't

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

164
00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:06.240
might be an emergency. So I kind of like to

165
00:15:06.240 --> 00:15:10.440
have my phone on for an emergency. It is on,

166
00:15:10.799 --> 00:15:14.519
but for ring. But what it does do if I'm awake,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

175
00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:50.639
I got up to do it. We we at. I

176
00:15:50.679 --> 00:15:54.960
don't know, it's probably half eleven. No, no, it's twelve o'clock,

177
00:15:55.039 --> 00:15:58.720
twelve o'clock midnight. Went up to do a we wei

178
00:16:00.039 --> 00:16:06.720
and because I saw that, I or did she phone?

179
00:16:09.039 --> 00:16:16.440
Maybe she did phone at eleven? No, she asked me.

180
00:16:17.200 --> 00:16:22.600
She had something about no, are you awake? I think

181
00:16:22.639 --> 00:16:26.159
that's what it was, text me, am I awake? So

182
00:16:26.279 --> 00:16:29.360
what I did is I I texted the back. So

183
00:16:29.440 --> 00:16:32.320
I thought, well, she might be in bed now. Texted

184
00:16:32.360 --> 00:16:36.320
the back said are you okay? And she said, yeah,

185
00:16:36.320 --> 00:16:38.720
I'm just looking to put some stuff in your freezer

186
00:16:38.759 --> 00:16:41.399
because she got some stuff and there was not enough room,

187
00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:44.639
so she needed to just borrow my freezer space. That's

188
00:16:44.679 --> 00:16:47.240
all it was. So I phoned her up and I said,

189
00:16:47.240 --> 00:16:50.639
we do it now if you want. But I was

190
00:16:50.679 --> 00:16:52.679
half asleep. I didn't really I don't think I made

191
00:16:52.720 --> 00:16:56.480
much sense, and so I said, well, we can do

192
00:16:56.519 --> 00:16:58.399
it tomorrow if you're not bothered about doing it today.

193
00:16:59.120 --> 00:17:02.320
She said, all right, I'll do it tomorrow. And then

194
00:17:02.679 --> 00:17:05.960
I found her up probably about one o'clock, and she

195
00:17:06.119 --> 00:17:12.640
was asleep, well she was half asleep, but eventually she

196
00:17:12.799 --> 00:17:16.119
came up and we put the stuff in the freezer.

197
00:17:16.400 --> 00:17:19.039
So it's like pastries and things like that. And she

198
00:17:19.079 --> 00:17:23.359
gave me some pastries, some cinnamon sticks. Yum yum, yum,

199
00:17:23.440 --> 00:17:26.680
yum yum. I'm going to be eating them. I mean,

200
00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:28.200
that's kind of what you do with them, isn't it.

201
00:17:28.240 --> 00:17:38.200
But yeah, So, I mean the reason if someone sends

202
00:17:38.240 --> 00:17:41.400
me a text ask me if I'm awake, then I

203
00:17:41.440 --> 00:17:46.519
assumed that, especially if it's late at night, I assume

204
00:17:46.559 --> 00:17:50.319
it it's important, so you know, I will respond to that.

205
00:17:54.400 --> 00:17:59.799
It wasn't important important, But still I think she knows

206
00:17:59.839 --> 00:18:02.359
to call me. I mean she has in the past.

207
00:18:02.400 --> 00:18:05.440
It's been a couple of incidentss where she's had to

208
00:18:05.480 --> 00:18:11.319
phone me, which is fine in an emergency. I'll try

209
00:18:11.400 --> 00:18:16.039
and help anyone out in an emergency. That's just the

210
00:18:16.119 --> 00:18:19.079
neighborly thing to do, isn't it. Really, it's not even

211
00:18:19.839 --> 00:18:26.119
It doesn't necessarily make me a hero. It does a bit, though,

212
00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:30.279
doesn't it. No, I'm not going to sing. Don't worry.

213
00:18:31.160 --> 00:18:36.559
So hope asked me O brilliant a motorbike. I hope

214
00:18:36.559 --> 00:18:41.279
he doesn't park in the garden and start revenue his

215
00:18:41.319 --> 00:18:44.079
engine in the garden. Please don't do that in the garden,

216
00:18:45.440 --> 00:18:50.440
especially not at this time of night. Who would have

217
00:18:50.440 --> 00:18:57.480
thought that I'd think of nine o'clock being late. I

218
00:18:57.519 --> 00:19:01.039
mean literally the latest I go to bed on a

219
00:19:01.079 --> 00:19:05.160
Friday and a Saturday night, Well, Friday anyway is ten o'clock.

220
00:19:07.000 --> 00:19:08.920
So I like to watch the or listen to the

221
00:19:09.039 --> 00:19:14.240
radio a certain radio show, Nick Abbott Radio Show at

222
00:19:14.240 --> 00:19:19.279
ten o'clock ten to one Saturday. I like to listen

223
00:19:19.319 --> 00:19:22.200
to the same show as well, but if boxing's on,

224
00:19:22.319 --> 00:19:24.480
I might not get to bed till eleven or half

225
00:19:24.480 --> 00:19:31.039
eleven if the boxing's on in the UK, depends how

226
00:19:31.079 --> 00:19:33.880
tired I am because I get up so early in

227
00:19:33.960 --> 00:19:37.599
the morning. So I went to bed at nine yesterday

228
00:19:37.960 --> 00:19:40.880
in the and I woke up at five, so I'd

229
00:19:40.880 --> 00:19:44.720
be full eight hours, which reminds me. I had a

230
00:19:44.720 --> 00:19:54.640
message from Ben. Message from Ben, Ben. Sorry Ben. I

231
00:19:54.640 --> 00:19:57.440
remember seeing this and think I need to reply, So

232
00:19:57.480 --> 00:20:01.119
I'm going to reply to Ben's message. This is twelve

233
00:20:01.160 --> 00:20:06.920
hours ago. Jason went to bed at seven to listen,

234
00:20:08.480 --> 00:20:14.079
and this is to the Whisper Wednesday. Laughed at the

235
00:20:14.079 --> 00:20:17.319
Hello Ben, and we and well, don't even think I

236
00:20:17.440 --> 00:20:20.200
made it to seven ten past seven, and work up

237
00:20:20.200 --> 00:20:24.759
this morning at seven, So twelve hours of calm sleep.

238
00:20:25.640 --> 00:20:30.720
Whisper Wednesday is definitely my favorite. Works every time. It's

239
00:20:31.160 --> 00:20:36.319
my favorite. It works every time. Cool. Thanks Ben. I

240
00:20:36.359 --> 00:20:41.279
really appreciate your words and it's just good to get feedback.

241
00:20:41.319 --> 00:20:44.880
So I'm gonna put thank you, but I'm also saying

242
00:20:44.920 --> 00:20:46.680
it to you on this so whether or not you

243
00:20:46.759 --> 00:20:48.759
hear it, I don't know, but thank you very much.

244
00:20:50.519 --> 00:20:57.880
I will try and do another Whisper Wednesday next week.

245
00:20:58.200 --> 00:21:00.960
The problem I've got with next week always an excuse

246
00:21:01.039 --> 00:21:05.119
in there is. One of my neighbors is having a

247
00:21:05.160 --> 00:21:13.599
new bathroom and it starts on Monday or Tuesday next week.

248
00:21:13.880 --> 00:21:20.359
It's now Friday. I don't know quite how much noise

249
00:21:20.400 --> 00:21:25.440
it's going to make because it's it's not underneath me.

250
00:21:25.599 --> 00:21:28.519
Like before, the flat underneath me had the new bathroom before,

251
00:21:29.319 --> 00:21:33.240
and that was that it shook the whole building. So

252
00:21:33.240 --> 00:21:37.359
I'm guessing this will as well, especially the digging up

253
00:21:37.519 --> 00:21:41.640
the bath and all that stuff there was. Yeah, there's

254
00:21:41.680 --> 00:21:48.319
a lot of a lot of work put into it.

255
00:21:48.319 --> 00:21:52.119
It took a while. If that's the case, then I'm

256
00:21:52.160 --> 00:21:55.039
going to be kind of limited to what I can do.

257
00:21:56.480 --> 00:22:00.640
I'd have to even make the recordings at night or

258
00:22:00.799 --> 00:22:05.599
early early in the morning, but I'll try and adapt

259
00:22:05.640 --> 00:22:09.480
around it. It's only for a couple of weeks. Most

260
00:22:09.480 --> 00:22:13.440
of it's done pretty much after two weeks. A few

261
00:22:13.440 --> 00:22:17.400
little bits, but yeah, it's pretty much finished. It's just

262
00:22:17.480 --> 00:22:20.559
that first bit of work, which takes about two or

263
00:22:20.559 --> 00:22:24.599
three days or four days of solid like noise, and

264
00:22:24.640 --> 00:22:33.480
then yeah, maybe about yeah, maybe a week of solid

265
00:22:33.519 --> 00:22:37.119
noise and then then you know, but I don't know

266
00:22:37.200 --> 00:22:40.720
how much I'm going to hear it because I'm guessing

267
00:22:40.920 --> 00:22:45.599
that downstairs is going to be noisier here in the

268
00:22:45.640 --> 00:22:49.319
bathroom being fitted downstairs, it's going to be noisier than

269
00:22:50.200 --> 00:22:53.559
being across the hallway from me. Because the other flat

270
00:22:53.640 --> 00:22:57.000
is not connected to my flat. It's connected as in

271
00:22:57.119 --> 00:23:02.440
the it's in the building, it's not it's not directly.

272
00:23:03.039 --> 00:23:08.160
I've got no walls connected to it. Does that make sense? Vinnie,

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

274
00:23:16.440 --> 00:23:22.079
I'm beginning to think that there's something healing about having

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

288
00:24:40.279 --> 00:24:48.079
reply to Cat? I did good? Right, So back to

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

290
00:24:52.559 --> 00:24:56.440
I'll see if I can do. That is among my

291
00:24:56.519 --> 00:25:02.559
weirdest ones I've done so far. I'd tell you. One

292
00:25:02.599 --> 00:25:05.799
of the things is they had a picture of me.

293
00:25:08.000 --> 00:25:10.759
I put it into a chat GPT and asked it

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

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

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

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

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

299
00:25:32.799 --> 00:25:36.400
my teeth anyway. So it has this image and it

300
00:25:36.440 --> 00:25:42.000
had my teeth. It just looked weird because it wasn't.

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

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

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

304
00:25:55.440 --> 00:26:00.839
The ears are about normal. It is Yeah, I don't

305
00:26:00.920 --> 00:26:04.400
like that image makes me laugh. Have you ever thought

306
00:26:04.400 --> 00:26:15.119
about what questions for tomorrow? Okay, let's go to the

307
00:26:15.160 --> 00:26:18.480
first question. So, if you could live in any other

308
00:26:18.519 --> 00:26:20.920
country in a world. Where would you like to live?

309
00:26:29.720 --> 00:26:33.880
It's very difficult. I kind of I think I'm at

310
00:26:33.920 --> 00:26:37.680
a point in my life where I'd like to travel,

311
00:26:39.359 --> 00:26:47.759
but not necessarily live in one place. Maybe have a base,

312
00:26:48.119 --> 00:26:50.599
you know, have a place a base to live in,

313
00:26:51.160 --> 00:26:53.279
and this is as good as any in a way.

314
00:26:56.640 --> 00:27:07.839
But travel preferably train or boat ship. I'd quite you know,

315
00:27:07.839 --> 00:27:12.880
I'd quite like to maybe travel through Europe, go on

316
00:27:12.920 --> 00:27:18.480
some cruises. That that appeals to me. I think maybe

317
00:27:18.559 --> 00:27:20.759
it's just my age, I'm now, it's not really. I've

318
00:27:20.799 --> 00:27:22.799
always liked the idea of going on cruises, I just

319
00:27:22.960 --> 00:27:28.039
could never afford it. I like I like ships. I

320
00:27:28.200 --> 00:27:30.720
like the idea of like you've got everything in one place.

321
00:27:32.079 --> 00:27:37.559
It's it's like a holiday camp, a hotel, and a

322
00:27:37.680 --> 00:27:42.920
leisure center, everything just all in one place, on one big,

323
00:27:42.960 --> 00:27:48.480
massive floating thing. So I quite like, yeah, I quite

324
00:27:48.559 --> 00:27:59.519
like that. Things really really hunting through my bits and

325
00:27:59.559 --> 00:28:04.440
bobs on the sety looking for stuff to I don't

326
00:28:04.440 --> 00:28:15.279
know what he's finding. I've lived in Ireland, I've lived

327
00:28:15.319 --> 00:28:20.359
in England. I've never lived in any other countries other

328
00:28:20.440 --> 00:28:31.000
than them, two countries. I I think if I went

329
00:28:31.160 --> 00:28:37.599
somewhere and I fell in love with a place, like

330
00:28:37.839 --> 00:28:43.519
really fell in love, you know, just like, Wow, I

331
00:28:43.599 --> 00:28:46.319
never want to leave this place. Then, yeah, that would

332
00:28:46.319 --> 00:28:52.599
be a place to live, that would make sense. I've

333
00:28:52.640 --> 00:28:56.440
never been to a place that I felt that way before.

334
00:29:01.440 --> 00:29:04.039
It's yeah, but then I haven't. Really I'm not really

335
00:29:04.039 --> 00:29:08.599
well traveled. I've been on a few holidays over my lifetime,

336
00:29:09.200 --> 00:29:12.720
a few places, but not I'm not like a regular

337
00:29:12.759 --> 00:29:24.799
holiday person. I mean before, yeah, I haven't been on

338
00:29:24.960 --> 00:29:29.480
I haven't been away very often. I think it was

339
00:29:29.519 --> 00:29:33.000
nearly a twenty year gap, well fifteen year gap between

340
00:29:33.799 --> 00:29:36.119
one going aboard one time and then going aboard the

341
00:29:36.160 --> 00:29:40.160
next time. So I'm not well traveled. But I've been

342
00:29:40.200 --> 00:29:42.920
to a few different places over the years. It's just

343
00:29:43.000 --> 00:29:47.960
I've been alive a long time person. Shil had joined

344
00:29:48.000 --> 00:29:51.960
the Army, I nearly did, and that would have given

345
00:29:51.960 --> 00:30:01.119
me the opportunity to traveled in it. The Navy possibly

346
00:30:01.160 --> 00:30:03.640
is a better job, a better one for traveling, because

347
00:30:03.920 --> 00:30:07.720
literally that's part of the job, isn't it, traveling? But

348
00:30:07.799 --> 00:30:09.799
I never fancied the Navy because I was in the

349
00:30:09.839 --> 00:30:16.880
Cycredets and I just didn't after being in the ce Caredets,

350
00:30:16.880 --> 00:30:21.079
for a couple of years. I just didn't I didn't

351
00:30:21.079 --> 00:30:24.359
want anything to do with the cecre It just didn't

352
00:30:24.359 --> 00:30:27.839
appeal to me because I didn't enjoy it. I didn't

353
00:30:27.920 --> 00:30:36.200
enjoy the Cecrets, so but the Army that seemed more

354
00:30:36.920 --> 00:30:39.400
up my street, and I did apply to join. I

355
00:30:39.440 --> 00:30:56.000
nearly joined in nineteen eighty nineteen eighty seven. I yeah,

356
00:30:56.559 --> 00:30:59.960
I was. I went through the tests and the medic

357
00:31:00.119 --> 00:31:02.759
cause and the basic fitness and then I was going

358
00:31:02.839 --> 00:31:07.720
to go. All I had to do is go to

359
00:31:07.759 --> 00:31:11.720
the training weekend and then that was it for past that.

360
00:31:12.720 --> 00:31:17.440
Then I was accepted into the Army and go to

361
00:31:17.720 --> 00:31:22.319
you know, however meet twelve weeks training or whatever it is,

362
00:31:23.119 --> 00:31:28.920
and you know, I kind of wanted to. But at

363
00:31:28.960 --> 00:31:33.279
the same time, I think I was just scared. I

364
00:31:33.319 --> 00:31:36.680
was scared. I was scared. It wasn't so much I

365
00:31:36.759 --> 00:31:40.799
wasn't scared of being in the Army, I thought so

366
00:31:40.960 --> 00:31:46.039
much as far as like, I don't think I was

367
00:31:46.079 --> 00:31:48.200
scared of some of the things that some people would

368
00:31:48.200 --> 00:31:52.079
be scared of. For me, it was more being around people,

369
00:31:54.799 --> 00:31:58.319
sleeping in a in a room full of other kids

370
00:31:58.519 --> 00:32:04.279
or other you know, people that never really enjoyed that.

371
00:32:04.319 --> 00:32:11.680
I didn't want to do that, and the discipline being

372
00:32:11.720 --> 00:32:13.839
told what to do that. I didn't know if i'd

373
00:32:13.880 --> 00:32:20.440
really well, I knew I wouldn't enjoy that. The physical

374
00:32:20.480 --> 00:32:24.480
side of it, I think I'd have been all right,

375
00:32:24.480 --> 00:32:32.000
because I was very fit back then, to be I

376
00:32:32.000 --> 00:32:37.160
think most you get most sixteen year olds, so I

377
00:32:37.200 --> 00:32:40.400
was sixteen at the time, so you get most sixteen

378
00:32:40.480 --> 00:32:44.079
year olds. They're fit, aren't they. You know, there's physically

379
00:32:44.119 --> 00:32:47.480
going to be fit because there's sixteen. I know not

380
00:32:47.559 --> 00:32:51.400
everyone is, but I was probably no fitter than anyone

381
00:32:51.440 --> 00:32:55.200
else of my age. To be honest, I'm like, now,

382
00:32:59.119 --> 00:33:01.880
I'm probably doing better than some people of my age.

383
00:33:02.559 --> 00:33:05.799
I'm sure i am, but I'm also perhaps not doing

384
00:33:05.799 --> 00:33:09.000
as well as other people of my age. You know,

385
00:33:09.839 --> 00:33:14.200
I've not done a survey. It'd be good to find out, though.

386
00:33:16.000 --> 00:33:18.200
Do you imagine going back to school and just meeting

387
00:33:18.240 --> 00:33:20.519
all the people that you were at school with in

388
00:33:20.559 --> 00:33:25.559
your year at age like fifty five, because you know,

389
00:33:25.640 --> 00:33:29.480
some people do their I don't know what they call it,

390
00:33:29.640 --> 00:33:33.839
you know, when they get together and after twenty years

391
00:33:33.960 --> 00:33:38.480
or ten years, but after a long long time, because

392
00:33:38.480 --> 00:33:43.000
that'd be like forty nearly forty years. So let's say

393
00:33:43.039 --> 00:33:48.799
next year or the year after, I'll go back. No,

394
00:33:48.920 --> 00:33:51.920
next year, BlimE me. So next year it'll be forty

395
00:33:52.000 --> 00:33:56.240
years when I left school. So go back to that

396
00:33:56.359 --> 00:33:59.240
year and see all those people. Firstly, some of them

397
00:33:59.279 --> 00:34:05.880
won't be around it anymore, I guess, just statistically, and

398
00:34:09.599 --> 00:34:17.039
it would be interesting. I probably wouldn't recognize one of them.

399
00:34:17.519 --> 00:34:21.239
Actually I had no one percause no, yeah, I probably wouldn't.

400
00:34:21.519 --> 00:34:25.960
Actually probably wouldn't recognize because everyone would be bigger probably

401
00:34:26.360 --> 00:34:30.000
than they were back then, because just people grow them

402
00:34:30.119 --> 00:34:34.760
as a get older, as far as like heavier. I mean,

403
00:34:36.079 --> 00:34:39.000
so even really slim people back then, which I was

404
00:34:39.000 --> 00:34:46.280
one of them, not so slim now. And people that

405
00:34:46.360 --> 00:34:50.400
didn't used to wear glasses perhaps do wear glasses now.

406
00:34:51.039 --> 00:34:54.280
Again I'm kind of one of them. I did have

407
00:34:54.360 --> 00:35:00.320
glasses for the last couple of months of school. Else

408
00:35:02.440 --> 00:35:08.679
there's going to be people that perhaps you know, have

409
00:35:08.840 --> 00:35:12.800
mobility issues that didn't before. There's going to be people

410
00:35:14.239 --> 00:35:18.880
that don't have hair anymore that did before, or some people.

411
00:35:19.079 --> 00:35:21.480
You know, there's going to be people that do have

412
00:35:21.599 --> 00:35:24.079
hair that didn't before. You know, maybe they was always

413
00:35:24.159 --> 00:35:29.480
used to shave their head. It's going to be be interesting.

414
00:35:31.519 --> 00:35:36.599
But I really think you may be wondering, why don't

415
00:35:36.639 --> 00:35:38.880
you just answer the question, why are you now talking

416
00:35:38.920 --> 00:35:44.480
about some kind of school reunify reunion? And then they

417
00:35:44.480 --> 00:35:53.360
said reuniform reunion. I don't think anyone would even remember me.

418
00:35:55.000 --> 00:35:58.440
I like to think that a couple of people would

419
00:35:58.480 --> 00:36:09.239
remember my name, Neil or Dean a cut Ivan. Maybe

420
00:36:09.239 --> 00:36:15.039
he doesn't. Stephan probably doesn't. I'd like to think that

421
00:36:15.199 --> 00:36:22.000
some of those people will remember me. Vinny, Horace is.

422
00:36:22.280 --> 00:36:25.360
It was just on the window sill, and Vinnie gets

423
00:36:25.440 --> 00:36:27.639
very jealous because he knows how close to me and

424
00:36:27.679 --> 00:36:32.079
Horace are. I'll try to explain to Vinnie that, you know,

425
00:36:32.159 --> 00:36:34.639
Horace has been visiting me for ten years since I

426
00:36:34.679 --> 00:36:40.320
lived there. He comes onto the window sill, says hello

427
00:36:41.280 --> 00:36:46.239
and anyone, then he flies off. Vinnie doesn't understand. It's

428
00:36:46.280 --> 00:36:51.519
like he has to be the only one. There are

429
00:36:51.599 --> 00:36:54.199
more people in the world. Vinnie, You're not the only one.

430
00:36:55.159 --> 00:36:59.519
Other people can also love me, and Horace is one

431
00:36:59.559 --> 00:37:09.000
of those. I love Horace the Pigeon. If you could

432
00:37:09.079 --> 00:37:11.559
live in any other country in the world, where would

433
00:37:11.599 --> 00:37:16.719
you like to live? I'd like to do a tester

434
00:37:18.119 --> 00:37:26.800
a test, just have a little have a little look around.

435
00:37:28.159 --> 00:37:30.480
I mean, there are benefits to living in this country.

436
00:37:31.960 --> 00:37:36.199
One would be the health service. You know, I can

437
00:37:37.199 --> 00:37:43.840
it's it's one of the probly the greatest things of

438
00:37:43.920 --> 00:37:52.679
this country, living in this country, and something that I

439
00:37:52.719 --> 00:37:58.800
guess kind of doesn't need to be appreciated until it's needed.

440
00:37:59.000 --> 00:38:02.760
It's one of those things, is that, and then maybe

441
00:38:02.760 --> 00:38:11.239
it won't be appreciated because you know, the person's too busy,

442
00:38:11.840 --> 00:38:14.559
they're too on well to really sort of think about it.

443
00:38:14.800 --> 00:38:18.480
But we are very lucky. I know some people say, yeah,

444
00:38:18.480 --> 00:38:26.400
but we pay for it. Yeah, but you know, it's

445
00:38:26.440 --> 00:38:31.199
compared to some places in the world, it's it might

446
00:38:31.239 --> 00:38:35.719
not be as good as service as far as you know,

447
00:38:36.159 --> 00:38:39.079
if you if you're in a country where you pay,

448
00:38:39.400 --> 00:38:42.320
you can pretty much be seen straight away. I imagine

449
00:38:42.400 --> 00:38:48.159
if you've got the money, I mean Thailand, if you've

450
00:38:48.159 --> 00:38:51.880
got the money, you can pretty much do anything you

451
00:38:51.920 --> 00:39:00.840
want when it comes to health that do everything they

452
00:39:00.880 --> 00:39:06.119
can to help you, and it's really top notch. But

453
00:39:06.239 --> 00:39:11.280
you can't leave until you pay. And my dad had

454
00:39:11.320 --> 00:39:14.079
that in Russia. He had a chest infection when he

455
00:39:14.119 --> 00:39:17.039
was in Russia. This was a long time ago, ended

456
00:39:17.079 --> 00:39:23.039
up in hospital and they so, you know, you can

457
00:39:23.079 --> 00:39:28.159
imagine Russian hospitals full at the full works, and they

458
00:39:29.000 --> 00:39:37.840
they did everything to help him. I mean, I don't know,

459
00:39:38.400 --> 00:39:40.880
chest infection. Maybe he had pneumonia, I don't know, but

460
00:39:41.079 --> 00:39:44.639
chest infection. But he was you know, very really very poorly.

461
00:39:45.800 --> 00:39:48.400
And at the end of it, when he had kind

462
00:39:48.440 --> 00:39:52.719
of recovered, they wouldn't let him leave because he had

463
00:39:52.760 --> 00:39:57.280
to pay. And he said, well, the insurance, I'm insured

464
00:39:57.280 --> 00:40:00.119
because he had health insurance. My dad's really good like that.

465
00:40:00.159 --> 00:40:03.920
He's very organized, a little bit different to me. I'm

466
00:40:03.920 --> 00:40:10.519
not so organized. His insurance started to have arguments with

467
00:40:10.719 --> 00:40:16.039
the Russian hospital about they were like what they will cover.

468
00:40:17.360 --> 00:40:20.800
So my dad had to end up paying out of

469
00:40:20.800 --> 00:40:25.800
his own pocket thousands of pounds. I think he got

470
00:40:25.840 --> 00:40:28.119
it back in the end from the insurance company, but

471
00:40:28.320 --> 00:40:36.039
they wouldn't let him leave until he paid money. So

472
00:40:36.159 --> 00:40:43.920
that's that's quite a difficult situation to be in. I

473
00:40:44.000 --> 00:40:45.519
don't know it probably I don't know if it would

474
00:40:45.519 --> 00:40:49.159
be like that for the people that live there, because

475
00:40:49.599 --> 00:40:57.360
you know, sometimes I don't really know how the health

476
00:40:57.400 --> 00:41:02.159
system works in a lot of different countries, but I

477
00:41:02.199 --> 00:41:06.079
feel grateful that we've got what we've got here. The

478
00:41:06.119 --> 00:41:09.280
only one of the main issues really nowadays is the

479
00:41:09.320 --> 00:41:15.960
waiting lists, because we're overpopulated, yet we're underpopulated. We're overpopulated

480
00:41:16.000 --> 00:41:19.519
for now, but we're underpopulated for the future. It's one

481
00:41:19.519 --> 00:41:24.679
of those weird ones. Not enough babies being born, too

482
00:41:24.760 --> 00:41:32.639
many people, it's a weird one. It's almost kind of

483
00:41:32.639 --> 00:41:35.320
moving into the age group of people that are too old,

484
00:41:36.239 --> 00:41:41.559
too many of it's a weird one. I say too many,

485
00:41:41.599 --> 00:41:47.719
too many in the sense of not being able to cope,

486
00:41:48.159 --> 00:41:52.239
like you know, the NHS. It's weird. It's a weird

487
00:41:52.280 --> 00:41:57.840
the way it's worked. But then in thirty years time,

488
00:41:58.639 --> 00:42:03.239
if it continues as it is, there won't be enough

489
00:42:03.239 --> 00:42:08.280
people to work in the NHS. There won't be enough

490
00:42:08.280 --> 00:42:12.400
people for the jobs. But then AI is gonna you know,

491
00:42:12.480 --> 00:42:15.840
I don't know. Hopefully it will work itself out. I'm

492
00:42:15.840 --> 00:42:21.480
not gonna bother worrying about it because it will r

493
00:42:21.719 --> 00:42:32.480
be OK and wicked wicked woo. So yeah, what country

494
00:42:32.480 --> 00:42:36.320
would it? So? I think really living I've always quite

495
00:42:36.480 --> 00:42:39.719
liked the idea of living in a cabin, a wooden

496
00:42:39.840 --> 00:42:49.400
cabin or a wood cabin. Yeah, and then I think

497
00:42:49.440 --> 00:42:53.960
that things like Little House on the Prairie. But then

498
00:42:54.000 --> 00:42:55.840
I'd have to say i'd need a time machine for

499
00:42:55.880 --> 00:42:59.360
that one. And then I think to some of these

500
00:43:01.679 --> 00:43:06.960
movies a little bit, like if you think of Groundhog Day,

501
00:43:07.159 --> 00:43:15.320
that's an example where that quaint little town, everybody knows

502
00:43:15.360 --> 00:43:20.079
each other, there's a diner, there's different shops. You know,

503
00:43:20.159 --> 00:43:25.800
it's kind of it seems like a really nice place

504
00:43:25.880 --> 00:43:28.840
to live. But I don't know if there really are

505
00:43:28.960 --> 00:43:32.360
places like that in America or anywhere else in the world.

506
00:43:32.400 --> 00:43:35.800
I don't know. I've never lived I've never lived in

507
00:43:35.840 --> 00:43:42.320
a place like that where it's nice. I mean, it's

508
00:43:42.320 --> 00:43:44.960
not horrible where I live, but it's just it's just

509
00:43:47.639 --> 00:44:00.599
I don't know. That just seems like a fantasy, a fantasy, yeah,

510
00:44:00.760 --> 00:44:04.639
or maybe. And then I start thinking, well, if I

511
00:44:04.679 --> 00:44:11.280
think it's some of the people I've met over the years,

512
00:44:12.639 --> 00:44:15.039
and I wonder what if more people are like them

513
00:44:15.920 --> 00:44:19.599
in their countries, that seems like quite a nice place

514
00:44:19.639 --> 00:44:24.320
to be. But then that gets into the old judgment,

515
00:44:24.400 --> 00:44:27.599
doesn't it. It's like, well, I met her and she

516
00:44:27.800 --> 00:44:33.000
was from Denmark, and she was really cool, and therefore

517
00:44:33.079 --> 00:44:37.280
everyone in Denmark must be really cool and lovely. But

518
00:44:37.320 --> 00:44:40.239
then that's just that's the same, really is if I'd

519
00:44:40.239 --> 00:44:43.639
admit some of them Denmark and I didn't get on

520
00:44:43.719 --> 00:44:47.400
with them and I found them difficult, therefore what everyone

521
00:44:47.440 --> 00:44:50.719
in Denmark is difficult. It's the same mentality, isn't it.

522
00:44:52.400 --> 00:44:54.719
And people are going to be different. They're not going

523
00:44:54.760 --> 00:44:59.159
to not everyone's going to be the same. And so

524
00:44:59.239 --> 00:45:02.440
I kind of i'd like to if I was, if

525
00:45:02.480 --> 00:45:05.400
I was kind of like, I have to move somewhere else.

526
00:45:05.760 --> 00:45:10.079
I have to move to another country. I can choose

527
00:45:10.199 --> 00:45:14.599
anywhere I want, but I have to choose, and I've

528
00:45:14.639 --> 00:45:21.400
got a month to do, so I would have to

529
00:45:21.400 --> 00:45:29.320
do some thorough research and really find out which country

530
00:45:29.360 --> 00:45:32.519
is the best. You know, bear it in mind, you know,

531
00:45:32.559 --> 00:45:36.199
as I'm getting older, I might just for medical stuff

532
00:45:37.960 --> 00:45:48.360
in the future, BlimE me. But living somewhere where it

533
00:45:48.480 --> 00:46:01.840
was friendly, safe, amenities, stuff to do, because you know,

534
00:46:02.280 --> 00:46:09.320
see London, I never in this country. Just it's a

535
00:46:09.360 --> 00:46:16.880
personal opinion, but I think in some ways it's also true.

536
00:46:17.159 --> 00:46:21.199
There's nowhere like London in this country. There's nowhere else

537
00:46:22.039 --> 00:46:28.519
where there is so much to do if it's condensed.

538
00:46:28.519 --> 00:46:31.559
But there's so much to do if you're willing to

539
00:46:31.599 --> 00:46:33.320
go out, and if you can afford it as well,

540
00:46:33.360 --> 00:46:40.320
I suppose these days. Of course, there's other cities. There

541
00:46:40.360 --> 00:46:45.880
are a lot smaller as far as the because I

542
00:46:45.920 --> 00:46:48.400
think with London it's because you've got the West End

543
00:46:50.079 --> 00:46:53.679
and you've got the city, and you've got all these

544
00:46:53.719 --> 00:47:00.480
places where there's a lot of stuff. You know, no

545
00:47:00.639 --> 00:47:06.000
other city has anything like Oxford Street and Piccadilly Circus

546
00:47:06.239 --> 00:47:10.280
and Leicester Square and Trafalgar Square and all that stuff.

547
00:47:10.360 --> 00:47:13.760
I'm not saying it's better, it's just different and it's

548
00:47:13.800 --> 00:47:20.639
more more to do. And that's what I've heard. Don't don't,

549
00:47:20.760 --> 00:47:26.360
don't shoot the messenger, kiss me passionately, don't don't kiss

550
00:47:26.400 --> 00:47:32.079
the messenger. I was watching EastEnders and Kat and Alphie

551
00:47:33.199 --> 00:47:35.239
couldn't decide whether they were going to get married or not.

552
00:47:38.960 --> 00:47:40.880
And do you tell you how interesting I was in it?

553
00:47:41.400 --> 00:47:46.719
I turned it over. I just cool with bother's like

554
00:47:47.280 --> 00:47:53.840
this is just they're just rehashing old storylines from twenty

555
00:47:53.960 --> 00:47:57.920
five years ago. Is I think they just run out

556
00:47:57.960 --> 00:48:02.480
of ideas. I genuinely think that some of these soaps

557
00:48:02.519 --> 00:48:06.039
have just they've been going for so long now that

558
00:48:08.960 --> 00:48:12.440
I think it's time for a new soap opera to

559
00:48:12.559 --> 00:48:18.199
come along, which is just gonna either be really adult

560
00:48:22.719 --> 00:48:27.360
or or maybe as well as be very funny but

561
00:48:27.440 --> 00:48:31.960
also gritty like real life, but also funny because life

562
00:48:32.079 --> 00:48:37.480
is funny, you know, it's if you in real life,

563
00:48:37.480 --> 00:48:42.800
there are people that say funny things. In EastEnders, there

564
00:48:42.880 --> 00:48:49.519
isn't Coronation Street. There's some funny characters in there. They

565
00:48:49.559 --> 00:48:52.960
do have some good lines, so they've definitely got the

566
00:48:53.079 --> 00:49:01.360
humor aspect sorted in that dale. I can't remember anymore.

567
00:49:01.360 --> 00:49:03.480
It's been such a long time since I watched it,

568
00:49:05.159 --> 00:49:11.719
and I don't watch Hollyoaks, but Hollyoaks was supposed to

569
00:49:11.760 --> 00:49:15.840
be a more adult and more adult soap when it

570
00:49:15.880 --> 00:49:20.440
came out, and they had all these like cargeous looking

571
00:49:20.760 --> 00:49:24.519
young people, and I think that opened in a shower scene.

572
00:49:24.719 --> 00:49:29.079
This was like six in the evening, and you know

573
00:49:29.199 --> 00:49:33.760
it was it wasn't you. You couldn't see anything, but it

574
00:49:33.800 --> 00:49:36.079
was just it was very provocative, I think for that

575
00:49:36.159 --> 00:49:42.039
time of the day. Provocative. That's a good word, isn't it.

576
00:49:42.039 --> 00:49:51.920
It's very productive, prodocative, provocative, provocative if I could live

577
00:49:52.039 --> 00:49:58.719
anywhere in the country, any other country. I don't know.

578
00:49:58.840 --> 00:50:02.880
It's just i've met people. I kind of go from

579
00:50:03.639 --> 00:50:09.920
people that i've met, and every person I've met from

580
00:50:10.360 --> 00:50:16.079
Eastern European countries have always been called pretty much like

581
00:50:16.320 --> 00:50:18.920
pretty much all been really and I've worked with a

582
00:50:18.960 --> 00:50:21.639
lot of them, not recently, but you know, when I

583
00:50:21.639 --> 00:50:26.760
was in London, I worked with a lot of Polish people,

584
00:50:27.400 --> 00:50:34.480
a lot of people from Bosnia, people from trying to

585
00:50:34.480 --> 00:50:40.280
think of different places, but you know, Eastern European loads,

586
00:50:40.559 --> 00:50:52.480
loads of people are from Russia, from Slovakia, I don't know,

587
00:50:52.800 --> 00:50:58.239
different places, and I always got on with them. It

588
00:50:58.880 --> 00:51:06.360
particularly while sometimes to break through because they weren't. There

589
00:51:06.440 --> 00:51:08.360
was one one I didn't really go on with, but

590
00:51:08.440 --> 00:51:12.719
she was ice cold. But I found out she was

591
00:51:12.760 --> 00:51:17.119
having problems anyway, so but she just she couldn't smile,

592
00:51:17.400 --> 00:51:25.199
she didn't have the ability to smile. But so that

593
00:51:25.199 --> 00:51:29.880
that if she'd been the only person I've met from

594
00:51:30.239 --> 00:51:32.519
I don't know, Poland, I think maybe one of those

595
00:51:32.559 --> 00:51:38.239
countries in that area, I might have like gone, all

596
00:51:39.639 --> 00:51:44.360
Polish people are miserable, which is a ridiculous thing to think,

597
00:51:44.400 --> 00:51:50.480
isn't that Because people are different. Everyone's different. I think

598
00:51:50.599 --> 00:51:55.199
a couple of my favorite people was a couple of Russian,

599
00:51:56.000 --> 00:52:00.840
so a Russian couple, and I can't remember saying, I'm

600
00:52:00.880 --> 00:52:08.760
just just slow down Russian. Okay, anyway, I'm she said,

601
00:52:08.760 --> 00:52:14.320
there's a new waitress, so she's I'm just chatting her up,

602
00:52:14.599 --> 00:52:17.199
just talking to her, but our thoughts. She was really nice,

603
00:52:17.320 --> 00:52:24.039
like just start talking to her. And the staff started laughing,

604
00:52:25.679 --> 00:52:27.920
and I said, what are you laughing for? She said,

605
00:52:28.840 --> 00:52:32.480
and they said to me, her husband's watching you chat

606
00:52:32.559 --> 00:52:36.119
his wife up. And I said what. I looked over

607
00:52:36.280 --> 00:52:40.639
and the husband was doing a washing up. He was

608
00:52:40.679 --> 00:52:42.599
a kitchen porter. I said. They both started at the

609
00:52:42.599 --> 00:52:45.760
same time. She was a waitress who was a kitchen porter,

610
00:52:47.039 --> 00:52:50.800
and he waved at me. I was like, okay. So

611
00:52:50.880 --> 00:52:56.280
it turned out he was a professor of psychology in Russia.

612
00:52:57.840 --> 00:53:05.119
And I don't remember what she did at home. I

613
00:53:05.119 --> 00:53:09.119
can't remember, but he was like, you know, quite high up,

614
00:53:10.280 --> 00:53:15.079
worked in a university. So they got permission to go

615
00:53:15.119 --> 00:53:17.079
on holiday and to leave, and I think they had

616
00:53:17.159 --> 00:53:20.320
like allowed to be away for three months something like that.

617
00:53:21.440 --> 00:53:23.440
And he said to me, it's so nice to do

618
00:53:23.519 --> 00:53:27.199
a menial job to do something that did involve thinking,

619
00:53:28.000 --> 00:53:31.639
because I imagine it's spent his whole, probably most of

620
00:53:31.639 --> 00:53:38.519
his life in academia, you know. And he was probably

621
00:53:43.079 --> 00:53:46.039
probably bit older than me, but I'd say he's probably

622
00:53:46.039 --> 00:53:54.719
about thirty five, maybe early thirties. I was late twenties. Well,

623
00:53:54.719 --> 00:53:56.519
it turned out I got on really well with both

624
00:53:56.559 --> 00:54:00.440
of them, got really well with him, but I also

625
00:54:00.440 --> 00:54:03.000
got me really well with her. It was weird. It

626
00:54:03.079 --> 00:54:11.079
was like two different friendship friendships I had. And he

627
00:54:11.239 --> 00:54:14.079
used to come and see me in the DJ booth

628
00:54:15.519 --> 00:54:18.440
after because the kitchen would close, and he'd come and

629
00:54:18.480 --> 00:54:20.599
hang out with me, sometimes in a DJO with which

630
00:54:20.679 --> 00:54:25.639
is at the bottom of the club, and he was

631
00:54:25.679 --> 00:54:33.119
so comfortable. He'd start to start talking Russian. I wouldn't

632
00:54:33.119 --> 00:54:36.280
say anything, and he just keeps going. I'd go yeah,

633
00:54:37.840 --> 00:54:41.800
and then he realized that, oh, I forgot. It's like

634
00:54:41.920 --> 00:54:47.639
he just completely forgot that I wasn't Russian, which is

635
00:54:47.679 --> 00:54:57.000
weird because I was standing still Russian. It's tough audience,

636
00:54:57.719 --> 00:55:01.000
So that was weird. And then we got invited to

637
00:55:01.039 --> 00:55:03.320
a party, so I went to where he lived with

638
00:55:03.360 --> 00:55:06.199
his wife, and I was staying with friends or with

639
00:55:06.320 --> 00:55:09.039
people I guess they were friends with the mother, I

640
00:55:09.039 --> 00:55:14.920
don't know. And she ended up getting pregnant while she

641
00:55:15.039 --> 00:55:22.360
was here, wasn't me, and so it was I don't

642
00:55:22.400 --> 00:55:24.320
know if that was their plan to come and get

643
00:55:24.360 --> 00:55:31.679
pregnant or just just maybe the relaxing, you know, maybe

644
00:55:31.760 --> 00:55:36.480
just to have a break was what they needed. But yeah,

645
00:55:36.559 --> 00:55:44.000
she got pregnant and she was not like far gone.

646
00:55:45.440 --> 00:55:53.239
Vinnie started to moan, and she wasn't like you know it,

647
00:55:54.360 --> 00:56:03.800
she wasn't. She wasn't like really blind me our great

648
00:56:03.880 --> 00:56:11.320
sort of started the the motorbike's been started in the garden. Great.

649
00:56:13.159 --> 00:56:17.119
So it's eleven minutes past nine. I'm like this ammoney neighbor,

650
00:56:17.119 --> 00:56:22.079
And yeah, is that the police? Can I speak to

651
00:56:22.119 --> 00:56:32.320
the Motorbike Annoying Sounds Department? Please? So what was I saying? Oh? Yeah,

652
00:56:32.440 --> 00:56:37.440
So yeah, she she got pregnant, and she and then

653
00:56:37.480 --> 00:56:41.119
they went back to Russia. And I think he was

654
00:56:41.159 --> 00:56:43.800
more upset to say goodbye to me than she was.

655
00:56:47.360 --> 00:56:51.159
Like I kind of really connected with him. It was weird.

656
00:56:51.199 --> 00:56:53.360
I don't know why. I like, I really liked both

657
00:56:53.360 --> 00:56:59.880
of them, but it was I don't know, just there's something.

658
00:57:00.239 --> 00:57:04.440
Maybe I think it's probably because he was an academic,

659
00:57:04.519 --> 00:57:07.639
and I quite liked the idea and about I quite

660
00:57:07.679 --> 00:57:11.000
like being around clever people. I hope that maybe some

661
00:57:11.039 --> 00:57:13.000
of us, some of it will rub off. I don't know,

662
00:57:13.760 --> 00:57:19.400
and I can be quite I don't know. I think

663
00:57:19.440 --> 00:57:23.920
you for me, I've probably thought to myself, I'm being

664
00:57:24.079 --> 00:57:28.199
more sophisticated being around him, and he was enjoyed being

665
00:57:28.280 --> 00:57:32.800
really common being around me. Can you hear that? My bike?

666
00:57:37.320 --> 00:57:41.760
They turned it off? Now, bless him or her, whoever

667
00:57:41.800 --> 00:57:50.599
it is, whoever it is, whatever it is. And I

668
00:57:50.719 --> 00:57:54.800
never saw them again. They did invite me to go visit,

669
00:57:58.639 --> 00:58:01.599
but I think I think I wrote to them or

670
00:58:01.639 --> 00:58:04.559
I gave them my dress and we just lost contact.

671
00:58:04.960 --> 00:58:08.199
But they wanted me to go and visit them, but yeah,

672
00:58:08.239 --> 00:58:16.360
I never did. In the end. It's weird, isn't it.

673
00:58:17.880 --> 00:58:22.800
That was like a long time ago, long, long long

674
00:58:22.840 --> 00:58:32.039
time ago. No Bosnia and Croatia, that's it. So those

675
00:58:32.119 --> 00:58:42.920
people from Bosnia, Croatia and somewhere else. Yeah, East just

676
00:58:43.039 --> 00:58:48.360
Eastern European, like different different places. But it was in Poland.

677
00:58:49.639 --> 00:58:53.480
A lot of a lot of Polish people in London

678
00:58:53.800 --> 00:58:58.800
because and also generally at that time, they weren't legally

679
00:58:58.800 --> 00:59:02.559
allowed to work in in England, not the people that

680
00:59:02.559 --> 00:59:05.159
I work because they just happened to be friends. They

681
00:59:05.159 --> 00:59:08.800
weren't working there, of course, but at the time there

682
00:59:08.840 --> 00:59:12.840
was a lot of Polish people working cash in hand

683
00:59:13.159 --> 00:59:19.159
in London. And then the European they joined the European

684
00:59:19.280 --> 00:59:26.280
Union in I think what two thousand and two something

685
00:59:26.320 --> 00:59:29.719
like that, and a lot of that went home because

686
00:59:29.760 --> 00:59:32.800
there was no point working here anymore because it would

687
00:59:32.800 --> 00:59:35.639
be they'd have to pay tax and it'd be it

688
00:59:35.719 --> 00:59:40.800
just wouldn't It's almost they'd lose money by doing it legally.

689
00:59:46.840 --> 00:59:49.000
It was quite cool because a bunch of them would

690
00:59:49.000 --> 00:59:52.519
come in I guess they lived locally. They would come

691
00:59:52.559 --> 00:59:57.920
in and hang out and I'd hang out with them,

692
00:59:58.400 --> 01:00:00.920
and I got on really well with them, like they

693
01:00:01.000 --> 01:00:08.280
kind of accepted me into their group. It was weird

694
01:00:09.159 --> 01:00:13.480
to speak whatever language they spoke to me. And there

695
01:00:13.519 --> 01:00:16.079
was a leader as well. There was the leader of

696
01:00:16.119 --> 01:00:20.239
the group. It was it was, Yeah, I don't know

697
01:00:20.280 --> 01:00:25.079
why they seem to get on okay with me. M

698
01:00:26.440 --> 01:00:30.320
And then people I've met a lot of Africans because

699
01:00:30.639 --> 01:00:33.519
I worked with a lot of people from Africa. Are

700
01:00:33.519 --> 01:00:41.920
different places in Africa Ghana, and I can't think of

701
01:00:41.960 --> 01:00:45.840
any other places specifically because I didn't usually find out

702
01:00:45.840 --> 01:00:54.199
where they were from. Ghana was one place because I yeah,

703
01:00:54.199 --> 01:00:56.480
I remember, I actually lived in a house with quite

704
01:00:56.480 --> 01:01:00.480
a few people from Ghana, and then I worked with

705
01:01:00.519 --> 01:01:03.360
a lot of people from India and also from Pakistan,

706
01:01:04.960 --> 01:01:08.119
and so when I worked in a bakery, it was

707
01:01:09.800 --> 01:01:16.320
ninety i'd say ninety five Asian or like you know,

708
01:01:17.119 --> 01:01:25.800
Indian Pakistani. I'm trying to think of other countries in

709
01:01:25.840 --> 01:01:30.199
the area Bangladesha. You know, there's lots of people from

710
01:01:30.519 --> 01:01:35.880
those kind of countries were working in the bakery, but

711
01:01:35.920 --> 01:01:43.519
I think mainly Indian if I remember correctly. There was

712
01:01:43.599 --> 01:01:48.320
a few African people working there as well, and a

713
01:01:48.559 --> 01:01:52.360
very small number of English people. The English people, even

714
01:01:52.400 --> 01:01:55.119
English people weren't even running it. I mean as far

715
01:01:55.199 --> 01:02:01.159
as being the bosses, there was Turkish so Turkish brother

716
01:02:02.360 --> 01:02:05.159
as a Turkish bloke that was the manager of the

717
01:02:05.199 --> 01:02:12.280
whole thing. His brother was the manager of all the

718
01:02:12.320 --> 01:02:15.199
team leaders, so he was the manager of all the

719
01:02:15.239 --> 01:02:18.440
other managers. So it's literally them too, was at the top.

720
01:02:20.960 --> 01:02:25.639
And then he had a few people, I guess shift

721
01:02:25.760 --> 01:02:29.760
managers for different departments because it was a huge bakery.

722
01:02:30.639 --> 01:02:38.280
I mean, mess, I've never it's arguably, yeah, the biggest

723
01:02:38.280 --> 01:02:43.159
place I've ever worked, biggest building I've ever been in.

724
01:02:44.079 --> 01:02:50.239
I mean, maybe maybe the art galleries bigger, because that's

725
01:02:50.280 --> 01:02:53.480
a pretty huge building, isn't it. But as far as working,

726
01:02:54.400 --> 01:03:00.719
it's the largest area I think I've ever been in

727
01:03:01.239 --> 01:03:08.960
under one roof. Absolutely huge. I mean you could say, well,

728
01:03:08.960 --> 01:03:10.960
I was a lot smaller back then, but yeah, I

729
01:03:11.000 --> 01:03:15.280
was still the same height. Yeah, I was twenty years old,

730
01:03:15.320 --> 01:03:19.119
so I wasn't exactly I was dinner, but I wasn't.

731
01:03:20.679 --> 01:03:25.119
Things aren't going to look bigger, are they at twenty

732
01:03:25.159 --> 01:03:28.519
than they do at thirty? Or whatever? I am. Now,

733
01:03:31.280 --> 01:03:34.280
if you could live in any country, if you could

734
01:03:34.320 --> 01:03:37.639
just stick to the question, please it's been asked, If

735
01:03:37.639 --> 01:03:48.239
you don't mind, where would I like to live? I

736
01:03:48.280 --> 01:03:51.360
thought about America, Then I thought about Canada, Then I

737
01:03:51.400 --> 01:04:03.039
thought about Australia, Then I think about I think I

738
01:04:03.079 --> 01:04:06.519
would possibly struggle in a country which has a different

739
01:04:06.599 --> 01:04:15.480
language just because I only speak one language. And whether

740
01:04:15.559 --> 01:04:18.159
or not that's lazy or ignorant, whatever you want to

741
01:04:18.159 --> 01:04:21.239
call it, that's just the fact I only speak one

742
01:04:21.320 --> 01:04:28.679
language and however great it would be to be bilingual.

743
01:04:30.119 --> 01:04:38.159
I'd like to be by but it's probably not going

744
01:04:38.239 --> 01:04:43.000
to happen anytime soon. Although there are apps that are

745
01:04:43.519 --> 01:04:47.480
this technology that can help you to communicate with someone

746
01:04:47.559 --> 01:04:54.320
in a real time who speaks a different language, so

747
01:04:55.000 --> 01:05:01.440
that could help, could be useful. Or if I went

748
01:05:01.480 --> 01:05:05.039
to a country where most people spoke English as well

749
01:05:05.079 --> 01:05:11.840
as their own language. But at no point in my

750
01:05:11.920 --> 01:05:17.079
brain do I think that other people should speak English.

751
01:05:17.119 --> 01:05:19.840
That's not totally true though, is it. No? But I

752
01:05:19.840 --> 01:05:22.400
mean in reality, but you know, as a kind of

753
01:05:23.199 --> 01:05:27.480
from a wishful feeling, thinking like everyone should be brilliant

754
01:05:27.519 --> 01:05:31.559
if everyone could speak English. But then it'd be brilliant

755
01:05:31.599 --> 01:05:35.800
if everyone could speak all languages, wouldn't it really? You know,

756
01:05:36.159 --> 01:05:39.000
if whenever you go to another country you automatically can

757
01:05:39.039 --> 01:05:44.199
speak their language. Where did they have that on Star

758
01:05:44.239 --> 01:05:47.280
Trek where they put a thing in their ear and

759
01:05:47.320 --> 01:05:53.079
they could automatically communicate with whatever language the aliens were talking,

760
01:05:53.599 --> 01:05:57.000
depending on what planet they were on. Was that in

761
01:05:59.519 --> 01:06:01.960
Was that in Star Trek Next Generation or was that

762
01:06:02.000 --> 01:06:07.559
in the original the original Star Trek? Because we've literally

763
01:06:07.639 --> 01:06:16.039
now kind of almost got that technology. Where would I

764
01:06:16.119 --> 01:06:23.920
like to live, and why see, I just don't know.

765
01:06:25.079 --> 01:06:27.480
I know that I'm supposed to be answering questions, and

766
01:06:27.559 --> 01:06:32.039
I invited the questions, but I'm not sure what the

767
01:06:32.159 --> 01:06:39.880
answer would be. Maybe I'm just thinking as It's like

768
01:06:42.239 --> 01:06:46.039
if you'd have asked me twenty years ago, I'd have

769
01:06:46.119 --> 01:06:50.519
had a much different answer because I mentioned I probably

770
01:06:50.519 --> 01:06:59.719
would have said America or perhaps New Zealand or Australia.

771
01:07:00.239 --> 01:07:05.280
New Zealand in a sense of it's similar, kind of

772
01:07:06.320 --> 01:07:10.079
quite similar to the youth to England. I think that's

773
01:07:10.079 --> 01:07:15.599
what I'm told is quite similar, but just nicer. And

774
01:07:21.199 --> 01:07:28.039
I don't know. I'd like to travel around, so i'd

775
01:07:28.079 --> 01:07:32.840
like to visit. But living, I don't know. It's the

776
01:07:32.880 --> 01:07:34.960
idea of living because it doesn't mean I've got to

777
01:07:35.000 --> 01:07:37.280
stay there forever, does it. I can live somewhere for

778
01:07:37.360 --> 01:07:43.239
a month or for six weeks. It's still living there,

779
01:07:43.320 --> 01:07:56.960
isn't it? Technically? Kind of I know someone that used

780
01:07:57.000 --> 01:08:03.199
to spend half the year and half the year here,

781
01:08:05.519 --> 01:08:11.519
and he seemed quite happy to do that. And I wonder,

782
01:08:11.840 --> 01:08:15.880
and I've heard that some people they'll spend the winter,

783
01:08:16.720 --> 01:08:22.640
our winter here somewhere nice, somewhere like Spain and then

784
01:08:22.760 --> 01:08:28.560
come back in the summer, or you know, just time

785
01:08:28.680 --> 01:08:34.960
this season so that they never have to spend time

786
01:08:35.039 --> 01:08:50.800
in the winter. You know what I mean. There's a

787
01:08:50.800 --> 01:09:01.319
lot of waffle in the garden now and and why oh,

788
01:09:01.359 --> 01:09:04.640
but the questions, well, why would I want to live there?

789
01:09:07.359 --> 01:09:10.279
I've not really answered that question very well. I do apologize.

790
01:09:11.479 --> 01:09:16.880
Michelle asks, is your step mom that's that you talk

791
01:09:16.920 --> 01:09:22.880
about still in your life? The second one is, you know,

792
01:09:23.159 --> 01:09:24.960
I don't see it very often, a couple of times

793
01:09:25.000 --> 01:09:29.479
a year. That's the one that my dad is married

794
01:09:29.479 --> 01:09:35.000
to now. And the first step mom, No, I haven't

795
01:09:35.199 --> 01:09:42.960
seen her, had contact with her. Last time I had

796
01:09:42.960 --> 01:09:48.760
any kind of regular contact was nineteen eighty seven, seeing

797
01:09:48.760 --> 01:09:57.119
her a couple of times, I think nineteen eighty eight,

798
01:09:57.520 --> 01:10:04.880
maybe once nineteen eighty nine. Then I saw her when

799
01:10:04.880 --> 01:10:07.760
my brother had appendicitis because we went and visited him

800
01:10:07.760 --> 01:10:12.079
in hospital and she rolled up to come and see him,

801
01:10:12.119 --> 01:10:18.199
and that was the last time I saw her. That

802
01:10:18.359 --> 01:10:22.359
was probably I don't know how old my brother was.

803
01:10:25.600 --> 01:10:28.880
It could have been a good thirty years ago, twenty

804
01:10:28.920 --> 01:10:33.520
five years, twenty seven years. It's really hard to fit.

805
01:10:33.640 --> 01:10:37.239
I can't. I'm not really sure. It was a long

806
01:10:37.279 --> 01:10:44.239
time ago, but no communication between those times or since,

807
01:10:45.960 --> 01:10:48.479
apart from a letter I did send to her recently,

808
01:10:48.880 --> 01:10:50.720
but I don't even know she received it. To be

809
01:10:50.880 --> 01:10:53.479
I wasn't a letter. It was a card at a

810
01:10:53.520 --> 01:10:57.640
present like some flowers, and I sent her a card

811
01:10:57.640 --> 01:11:02.039
on moonpig just to sort of thank her for helping

812
01:11:02.600 --> 01:11:05.079
look after me when I was little, and that from

813
01:11:05.079 --> 01:11:08.840
the ages of seven to fifteen, I've thought it's been

814
01:11:08.920 --> 01:11:10.680
nice thing to do, just to say thank you and

815
01:11:10.800 --> 01:11:13.399
let her know that I do appreciate what she did.

816
01:11:15.479 --> 01:11:18.640
And I don't know she received it. I hope, I

817
01:11:18.640 --> 01:11:24.960
hope she did. Oh, it's some giggly, some giggling going

818
01:11:25.000 --> 01:11:30.199
on out there. I wonder what that's all about. Ooh,

819
01:11:32.600 --> 01:11:36.199
gigle wiggle, giggle wiggle. That could be a good song,

820
01:11:36.239 --> 01:11:40.640
couldn't it The giggle wiggle song and giggle wiggle and

821
01:11:40.720 --> 01:11:46.079
giggle wiggle, gigle weigle weegle week or wigle wiggle giggling wiggle.

822
01:11:46.279 --> 01:11:49.560
I don't know, maybe not. Have you ever thought about

823
01:11:49.600 --> 01:11:53.159
getting pregnant? Not pregnant? Can asks? Have you ever for that?

824
01:11:53.279 --> 01:11:59.840
Getting a pet parrot? A pet parrot? Have it? No,

825
01:12:00.640 --> 01:12:04.640
that's a very quick answer. No, that was a very

826
01:12:04.680 --> 01:12:09.520
decisive answer. No, never thought about it, never wanted one,

827
01:12:09.960 --> 01:12:17.680
never going to get one ever. I'm not prejudiced against parrots,

828
01:12:18.600 --> 01:12:22.119
but I've seen them in action and they are noisy,

829
01:12:22.159 --> 01:12:32.960
proper noisy. And it's going to sound weird, but I'm

830
01:12:33.000 --> 01:12:37.640
not really. I don't like the idea of me. I

831
01:12:37.640 --> 01:12:40.039
did have a budget when I was a kid, didn't

832
01:12:40.119 --> 01:12:45.760
quite work out, but I don't I don't think i'd

833
01:12:45.760 --> 01:12:50.640
want to keep a bird in a cage. Yeah, just

834
01:12:50.720 --> 01:13:00.560
doesn't really doesn't really appeal to me, really, I just yeah, no, sorry.

835
01:13:01.359 --> 01:13:03.800
I don't feel like I've really answered any of the

836
01:13:03.880 --> 01:13:08.680
questions not properly. About my step mom, it's not really

837
01:13:09.000 --> 01:13:12.520
I did do a whole recording about her, this first

838
01:13:12.680 --> 01:13:16.880
step mom. I called it step number step mummy number

839
01:13:16.920 --> 01:13:19.600
one or something like that, or my first step mummy,

840
01:13:20.560 --> 01:13:24.279
and that was let me Boy to Sleep. You have

841
01:13:24.319 --> 01:13:25.840
to look up, look it up. I don't know where

842
01:13:25.840 --> 01:13:29.880
it is, what number it was, So I do go

843
01:13:29.960 --> 01:13:37.520
into a fair bit of detail about her. I think

844
01:13:37.520 --> 01:13:39.840
I might have done one about step mummy number two

845
01:13:39.880 --> 01:13:43.840
as well. I think I've never done a recording about

846
01:13:43.840 --> 01:13:45.760
my pet powrot because I've never had a pet parrot.

847
01:13:47.359 --> 01:13:51.119
I just it just doesn't really. They're huge, and the

848
01:13:51.279 --> 01:14:02.399
parrots yeah probably probably not. No, So it's suddenly become

849
01:14:02.520 --> 01:14:05.279
very noisy in the garden. So I'm gonna have to

850
01:14:05.359 --> 01:14:11.279
end this recording because I reckon it's just a partying

851
01:14:11.359 --> 01:14:15.840
or something. I don't know. So thank you very much,

852
01:14:17.800 --> 01:14:20.199
thanks for the questions. I'm sorry if I didn't answer

853
01:14:20.199 --> 01:14:23.760
the questions very well. I'll try and do better next time.

854
01:14:25.079 --> 01:14:28.640
I'll do my best this, so thank you for listening.

855
01:14:28.840 --> 01:14:32.560
Remember to be kind to yourself because you do deserve

856
01:14:32.600 --> 01:14:35.800
to be happy, and be gentle with yourself because you

857
01:14:35.880 --> 01:14:43.760
