00:00:00.640 --> 00:00:08.919
Hello, and welcome to Jasonnewland dot com. My name's Jason

2
00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:13.960
new Land. Please only listen when you can safely close

3
00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:24.839
your ese. And this is q Any Friday's. It's story

4
00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:29.120
is rubbish, isn't that? Sorry? Sorry about that? It was

5
00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:33.560
terrible And before I proceed, I would like to say

6
00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:42.960
a big thank you to I literally just posted it.

7
00:00:47.320 --> 00:00:59.039
What what on earth is going on? This is ridiculous.

8
00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:08.040
I literally just posted it on my Facebook group and

9
00:01:08.079 --> 00:01:19.079
for some reason it's disappeared. That is really weird. How

10
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:26.920
can it just disappear when I just posted it there?

11
00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:33.560
It is wow? Right, I posted something on my Facebook group,

12
00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:38.640
which is Jason Newland's boring group on the faith of

13
00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:43.519
book And thank you for your kind and much needed

14
00:01:43.519 --> 00:01:48.879
PayPal gifts, Maria Ing and Sanmpha. So thank you very much.

15
00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:56.079
Things have been going weird, you know, financially, I spent

16
00:01:56.159 --> 00:02:01.920
a fortune. I spent my entire, my entire life's savings

17
00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:07.280
of over one hundred and seventy pounds on taxis and

18
00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:10.479
then all my other money that's been coming in getting

19
00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:14.879
them backwards and forward to the hospital to see uncle's sausages.

20
00:02:17.199 --> 00:02:21.080
But now I'm just going to have to I'm just

21
00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:26.560
gonna have to get the bus. It's just I can't

22
00:02:26.599 --> 00:02:29.960
explain it is because I was taking stuff up for him,

23
00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:39.639
and also a taxi journey is twenty five minutes half hour.

24
00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:44.319
The buses can take up to two hours. There's two

25
00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:48.280
buses and waiting around and walking and stuff. So just

26
00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:53.319
from a perspective of time, so I choose a taxi.

27
00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:59.879
Although I don't necessarily enjoy traveling on the roads myself personally,

28
00:03:02.759 --> 00:03:06.960
but at the same time not I'm not a huge

29
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:10.319
fan of public transport either, because I'm not used to

30
00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:14.520
going out. You know, this is the first time. I mean,

31
00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:20.039
now I'm into the fourth week of traveling. Well, it

32
00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:30.039
literally is. It was three weeks ago yesterday that Uncle

33
00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:36.800
Sausages was taking the hospital in an ambulance, and it

34
00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:42.240
seems like months ago. Seriously, he's now in the fourth

35
00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:48.120
ward that he's been in. This ward. I'm I'm not

36
00:03:48.159 --> 00:03:51.599
a big fan of this ward. The last ward was nice.

37
00:03:51.639 --> 00:03:55.479
It was quite airy, there was big windows, it was

38
00:03:55.520 --> 00:04:00.000
bright in there, and it was more open. You could

39
00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:03.039
see the the re set you could see. I don't know,

40
00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:05.840
it's a lot. I can't explain it. I probably can,

41
00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:09.439
but this one is just as scene, is a bit

42
00:04:09.479 --> 00:04:19.399
more closed off and not much air, and it smells

43
00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:26.759
of farts and boredom in there. It's just among my

44
00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:32.439
uncle's sausages. Is so bored. But what I did yesterday

45
00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:36.639
is I took him in my iPad and I subscribed

46
00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:43.879
for all the all the sports channels streaming, because he

47
00:04:43.959 --> 00:04:46.959
does have Sky, which is what he prefers, that's what

48
00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:50.279
his main place is, but he doesn't know the passwords,

49
00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:53.439
so if he was at home he could just watch it.

50
00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:59.720
So I subscribed myself on there for him, and I

51
00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:02.879
took in there. So he's got Netflix as well, because

52
00:05:03.079 --> 00:05:07.399
he has Netflix at home. He's got Netflix now TV,

53
00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:14.920
which also has Sky Sports, Sky Movies and Sky TVs.

54
00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:20.279
He's got all those, all those different channels. He's Netflix.

55
00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:24.800
He needed because he wanted to watch the Serrano Katie

56
00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:29.240
Taylor fight because he's a big Katie Taylor fan. So

57
00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:32.639
I've got all that done. I've got radio channels apps

58
00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:36.240
downloaded for him, like Talk, sport, all the things that

59
00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:39.240
he likes, because well, he loves he loves the sport,

60
00:05:39.519 --> 00:05:44.279
absolutely loves sport. I'd say he loves sport as much

61
00:05:44.319 --> 00:05:49.199
as Vinnie loves sausages, but I don't think that's possible actually,

62
00:05:50.040 --> 00:05:55.959
because Vinnie loves the sausages. He loves the sausages. Oh yes, yes, yes,

63
00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:03.920
so yeah, it's been weird. It's just been weird. But

64
00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:05.879
no matter how weird it is for me, it's a

65
00:06:05.879 --> 00:06:11.519
lot weirder for him. So, you know, getting a perspective

66
00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:15.839
on the whole thing. He phoned me up this morning saying,

67
00:06:16.120 --> 00:06:18.000
and I phoned me up last night because I was

68
00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:20.120
in bed. So I called him up this morning and

69
00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:25.240
he couldn't log into the into the sports channel. So

70
00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:27.079
I kind of went through it with him on the

71
00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:30.759
phone and got him back on there. That was hard work.

72
00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:35.439
Is literally working blind, isn't it like? Because I can't

73
00:06:35.480 --> 00:06:39.240
see what he's got, can't I can't do face to

74
00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:44.319
face FaceTime because the phone he's got it doesn't fit

75
00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:50.839
with the photophon like the phone that I have managed

76
00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:54.959
to do it. I did say to us, while the

77
00:06:54.959 --> 00:06:59.720
conversation is going, just grab someone, ask someone to do it,

78
00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:05.480
because fifty percent of the population are going to know

79
00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:09.560
how to use an iPad. I would say, you know,

80
00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:13.920
there's some people prefer tablets that aren't Apple some people,

81
00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:16.959
but you know. Generally, I would say a lot of

82
00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:21.000
people are going to know how to use an iPad,

83
00:07:21.480 --> 00:07:27.319
probably way better than I do. I'm basic, really, I

84
00:07:27.480 --> 00:07:31.000
just use the iPad for editing. It's quite good for

85
00:07:31.160 --> 00:07:39.600
editing stuff like that. And yeah, it was, So he's this,

86
00:07:39.879 --> 00:07:45.800
he's now being moved. He's in the discharge ward. So

87
00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:55.720
he's he's a waiting to go into either but this

88
00:07:55.800 --> 00:07:58.000
is okay. I won't. I won't go into heavy stuff

89
00:07:58.040 --> 00:08:01.680
after this. He's waiting to go into care, how more hospice.

90
00:08:02.240 --> 00:08:08.800
That's basically the situation he's in. And physically I would

91
00:08:08.800 --> 00:08:13.079
done a bad stomach. He's fine, Like physically at the moment,

92
00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:19.800
he's okay. So he's doing pretty good. Yeah, really all

93
00:08:19.879 --> 00:08:28.519
things considered. And yeah, it's a weird one. He fowed

94
00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:32.840
me up last night moaning about the food. I don't

95
00:08:32.919 --> 00:08:36.480
like the food here. Yeah, you're in hospital, you're not

96
00:08:36.480 --> 00:08:41.480
supposed to like the food. It's a cliche. It's been

97
00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:44.120
a cliche since I was a kid that hospital food

98
00:08:44.840 --> 00:08:49.960
is awful. I mean, I don't know if it is

99
00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:53.399
or not. It's like school dinners are awful. I'm sure

100
00:08:55.600 --> 00:08:58.279
that's not the case everywhere, but it's just one of

101
00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:02.279
those kind of cliches, isn't it. You don't expect hospital

102
00:09:02.320 --> 00:09:09.799
food to be good. I don't know, just I don't

103
00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:12.519
remember what it was like. So I've been in the

104
00:09:12.559 --> 00:09:15.120
hospital twice when I was a kid, and I don't

105
00:09:15.159 --> 00:09:18.919
remember the food. All I remember is it was brilliant

106
00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:23.360
being getting our house for me at the hospital was

107
00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:28.000
a holiday, really, So I don't remember the quality of

108
00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:32.960
the food. But but I did say to him, just

109
00:09:33.559 --> 00:09:38.519
ask ask someone if you can get something different, if

110
00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:43.039
you can get because he said it was hungry. Okay,

111
00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:47.279
So he said, you know, i'd pay someone to come

112
00:09:47.320 --> 00:09:50.240
up here in a taxi and pay for the taxi

113
00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:52.600
for them to come and go and get some food

114
00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:56.679
from the shops downstairs. And I said, well, i'd have

115
00:09:56.720 --> 00:09:59.279
done it for you while I was there, because I

116
00:09:59.799 --> 00:10:02.720
fel it did yesterday morning. I said, why didn't you know?

117
00:10:02.799 --> 00:10:04.639
I kept saying to you, do you want anything from

118
00:10:04.639 --> 00:10:10.039
the shops? And you kept saying no. This is like

119
00:10:10.519 --> 00:10:12.799
three hours later and he's saying no, I want to

120
00:10:15.519 --> 00:10:18.559
I can't. I can't go back. I can't keep going

121
00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:21.399
backwards and forwards. You know I've already been there. So

122
00:10:21.519 --> 00:10:24.519
I did a like probably three hours traveling today already

123
00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:33.559
or yesterday there and back, and he was old, the

124
00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:38.840
food's horrible. It's like he just I thought the food

125
00:10:38.840 --> 00:10:42.600
would be the same whatever ward was on, because don't

126
00:10:42.600 --> 00:10:45.919
you use the same contractor I can't imagine they'd have

127
00:10:45.919 --> 00:10:48.720
a different menu for a different ward. Maybe maybe I'm wrong,

128
00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:57.120
but there wasn't a lot I could do, But I

129
00:10:57.200 --> 00:10:59.600
just said, so, I said, look, what I'd do uncle

130
00:11:00.159 --> 00:11:04.639
is is I'll phone up the main reception in that

131
00:11:04.840 --> 00:11:10.320
ward are in in the block and ask if there's

132
00:11:10.360 --> 00:11:14.080
anyone that can go down with you to get some

133
00:11:14.159 --> 00:11:17.759
food to buy, and go and buy some food because

134
00:11:17.919 --> 00:11:25.039
he's not allowed to leave the ward. So for medical reasons,

135
00:11:25.080 --> 00:11:27.960
he's not allowed to leave the ward. So I said, okay,

136
00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:31.960
he said, all right, okay, So I've phoned up the

137
00:11:32.039 --> 00:11:37.960
reception right, So this this, this lady answered the phone laughing.

138
00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:41.399
So I guess she was having a giggle or whatever

139
00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:45.600
with a colleague. And to be fair, you know, if

140
00:11:45.639 --> 00:11:47.200
you can have a laugh in a place like that,

141
00:11:47.320 --> 00:11:50.519
then good on you. You know, need to need to

142
00:11:50.519 --> 00:11:55.559
break it up somehow. But then she became a little

143
00:11:55.559 --> 00:12:01.960
bit mmm. I don't think the word piss taking with

144
00:12:02.120 --> 00:12:07.000
me a little bit, a little bit rude, and I said, Hi,

145
00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:11.480
it's you know, I'm just here for uncle's sausages. And

146
00:12:12.240 --> 00:12:20.080
basically he's he wants to he's wondering if he's away

147
00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:22.080
of him getting some food. He wants to go down

148
00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:24.919
and get some food. And she said, and she laughed.

149
00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:28.039
I think she perhaps she was in a giggly mood,

150
00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:32.440
but it was a little bit annoying. She laughed, we

151
00:12:32.480 --> 00:12:36.200
serve food here, We have food here. I said, no,

152
00:12:36.320 --> 00:12:39.360
he's had his dinner, but he didn't like it. She

153
00:12:39.480 --> 00:12:50.399
laughed again at that, and I said, well, I didn't

154
00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:53.559
know if there was any way, because at this point

155
00:12:53.559 --> 00:12:58.080
I'm getting a little bit this is not the problem,

156
00:12:58.200 --> 00:13:01.399
is right. And I found this out the other day.

157
00:13:02.720 --> 00:13:05.960
They're all on really really bad money because most of

158
00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:09.200
them are not nurses or doctors. They're care workers on

159
00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:14.120
some of them on minimum wage agency or whatever. So

160
00:13:14.559 --> 00:13:16.960
you're going to get some that are there because they

161
00:13:17.440 --> 00:13:23.559
care some are there because they just need the job.

162
00:13:25.960 --> 00:13:28.000
And in that kind of environment, if you've got someone

163
00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:31.120
there that's just solely there because they can't get any

164
00:13:31.159 --> 00:13:35.000
other job at the moment, they might not be completely

165
00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:37.639
like with any job. And now I've had jobs where

166
00:13:37.639 --> 00:13:43.639
I didn't care about the job, so I didn't perhaps

167
00:13:43.679 --> 00:13:49.120
do a very good job. Admittedly, you know, this was

168
00:13:49.159 --> 00:13:53.519
like putting meters in boxes and or rubbing bits and

169
00:13:53.600 --> 00:13:57.120
meat to put stickers on. It didn't involve human beings

170
00:13:57.159 --> 00:14:01.000
that were seriously ill, you know. I guess it's a

171
00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:08.679
little bit different, isn't it possibly? And then I said,

172
00:14:08.759 --> 00:14:13.399
I said, I said that here's a situation. Really, Uncle

173
00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:16.399
Sausages wants to know. He wanted me to ask you

174
00:14:17.120 --> 00:14:19.840
if there's any way of if there's a member of

175
00:14:19.840 --> 00:14:24.360
staff that could possibly take him down to the shops

176
00:14:24.399 --> 00:14:27.360
downstairs so he could go and get himself some food.

177
00:14:29.080 --> 00:14:34.200
She laughed again, and she said, we're not a delivery service,

178
00:14:35.159 --> 00:14:43.559
we're not shopping service, something like that. And I said,

179
00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:52.240
it's something funny, and she stopped laughing, and she said,

180
00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:55.799
wait a minute, I see what I can do. And

181
00:14:55.960 --> 00:14:57.960
she went quite for a second, and she came back

182
00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:00.799
said I'll try and have a word with someone I can't,

183
00:15:00.919 --> 00:15:03.799
you know, guarantee. I said, that's that's all I was asking.

184
00:15:04.399 --> 00:15:08.360
I know you're busy, you know, just understaffed and really busy,

185
00:15:08.519 --> 00:15:12.879
you know, but he's The situation for me is like

186
00:15:15.919 --> 00:15:19.559
he's not asking for a pole dance. You know, he's

187
00:15:19.600 --> 00:15:24.600
not asking for extravagant things. He's not asking for caviat

188
00:15:25.039 --> 00:15:26.960
And if they're too busy to do it, then fine.

189
00:15:27.039 --> 00:15:29.879
But I don't think it should be weird to be

190
00:15:29.919 --> 00:15:35.000
able to ask for him to be able to eat

191
00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:40.480
something that's edible. Plus he's not used to eating food.

192
00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:43.320
I think it's the food. If anything, the food is

193
00:15:43.320 --> 00:15:46.279
probably too good. It's probably it's not that it's bad

194
00:15:46.279 --> 00:15:50.639
food probably maybe doesn't taste very nice. Mass produced food

195
00:15:50.759 --> 00:15:53.200
often doesn't taste very nice. It's it's hard to make

196
00:15:53.240 --> 00:15:58.120
it taste nice. I've worked in and catering, and it

197
00:15:58.159 --> 00:16:01.360
there's a degree. If I don't know, it's harder to

198
00:16:01.399 --> 00:16:05.039
do it if you cook for twenty people or if

199
00:16:05.080 --> 00:16:08.080
you cook for two hundred. It's hard to get the

200
00:16:08.080 --> 00:16:11.039
same quality for two hundred meals as you would for

201
00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:17.000
two twenty. And again, I've worked in Catrid and I've

202
00:16:17.000 --> 00:16:19.759
seen it. I've seen two hundred meals come out on

203
00:16:19.799 --> 00:16:26.600
a Christmas dinner and plenty of complaints. This is too cold,

204
00:16:26.639 --> 00:16:30.159
this is too warm, this is too I'm not cooked enough.

205
00:16:31.440 --> 00:16:33.679
There was one woman in the comedy club she actually

206
00:16:33.799 --> 00:16:37.039
or man could have been a man who wasn't And

207
00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:39.799
she came up and said, it could just well have

208
00:16:39.799 --> 00:16:43.480
been a man. I'm just I keep mentioning women as

209
00:16:43.519 --> 00:16:46.279
if like that's the only people I talked to. It

210
00:16:46.399 --> 00:16:49.440
just happens to be these stories I have spoken. I've

211
00:16:49.480 --> 00:16:53.360
spoken to men as well I have, and as far

212
00:16:53.399 --> 00:16:56.279
as you know, the comedy club goes, it was the

213
00:16:56.360 --> 00:17:00.399
men were just as disruptive as you know. It's not

214
00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:04.519
really about that, this is about food. This lady, this customer,

215
00:17:04.599 --> 00:17:10.880
let's just say customer. This customer came up to the Yeah,

216
00:17:10.920 --> 00:17:14.759
she come to the manager. This was like a long

217
00:17:14.799 --> 00:17:20.799
time ago, it's about nineteen ninety nine or something, and

218
00:17:20.880 --> 00:17:23.119
she said she'd had a dinner. I think it was

219
00:17:23.200 --> 00:17:27.880
during the Christmas season, and she said, I asked for

220
00:17:28.079 --> 00:17:32.279
vegetarian meal because they booked the meals ahead, you know,

221
00:17:32.759 --> 00:17:36.400
people they booked tables for ten, twenty, thirty, forty whatever

222
00:17:37.079 --> 00:17:42.359
and then they'd call the meals. So she ordered before

223
00:17:42.400 --> 00:17:50.119
she even got a vegetarian mill. They served her chicken, okay,

224
00:17:50.240 --> 00:17:55.720
And she came up and she said she had the plate.

225
00:17:55.880 --> 00:18:03.279
She said, I haven't eaten meat five years. I'm absolutely furious.

226
00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:09.720
And the manager said, so what did we give you?

227
00:18:09.799 --> 00:18:16.160
She said, chicken? He said, I think it was a

228
00:18:16.240 --> 00:18:19.000
lady manager. Of course, it just happens to be a

229
00:18:19.079 --> 00:18:23.119
lady manager. I'm not not like focusing on women in

230
00:18:23.160 --> 00:18:26.160
the story. It's just she was. Her name was Gina.

231
00:18:26.319 --> 00:18:29.480
I can't help that if that's just a fact. And

232
00:18:32.079 --> 00:18:36.160
she said, well, where's where is it? The customer said

233
00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:42.079
where what? Gena says, where's the chicken? She said, I

234
00:18:42.240 --> 00:18:49.519
ate it? She said, so this was more than a mouthful.

235
00:18:49.680 --> 00:18:52.119
It's not like she just had It was a chicken

236
00:18:52.200 --> 00:18:54.960
nugget and you thought it was a vegetarian nugget, and

237
00:18:55.000 --> 00:18:56.680
you put it in your mouth and you ate it.

238
00:18:57.160 --> 00:18:59.480
And then someone says, all these chicken nuggets are nice.

239
00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:04.160
What their chicken? I thought they were vegetant vegetarian, No

240
00:19:04.279 --> 00:19:09.200
wonder they tasted nice. And you know, but this was

241
00:19:09.279 --> 00:19:13.960
like a chicken meal. There were slices. In fact, it

242
00:19:13.960 --> 00:19:18.519
was turkey. I think slices of turkey. She hate the

243
00:19:18.519 --> 00:19:24.759
whole lot. So there was that weird question like, well

244
00:19:24.759 --> 00:19:27.359
why did you eat it? Then you must have known

245
00:19:27.400 --> 00:19:31.759
after the first mouthful that it was you know, not vegetarian.

246
00:19:35.200 --> 00:19:40.240
And there's a very confused look on her face, almost

247
00:19:40.359 --> 00:19:43.279
like she was in a lot a lift and she

248
00:19:43.400 --> 00:19:47.960
smelt afart, but she didn't feel it. She didn't feel

249
00:19:47.960 --> 00:19:51.440
herself fart or him. Could have been a man in

250
00:19:51.519 --> 00:19:56.640
a lift smelt a fart but couldn't feel the fart,

251
00:19:57.559 --> 00:20:01.119
like they can't be me. But who is it? Where's

252
00:20:01.160 --> 00:20:04.079
the fart coming from? It's not come from my bum

253
00:20:04.079 --> 00:20:11.319
because I can usually feel the air leaving. Yeah, it's

254
00:20:11.400 --> 00:20:16.440
it's that you know that there's a certain vibration that

255
00:20:16.480 --> 00:20:18.079
you only get with a fart and you don't get

256
00:20:18.079 --> 00:20:22.839
any other time, isn't there I might be talking about

257
00:20:22.880 --> 00:20:27.400
farts just to ease ease the subject matter of Uncle's sausages. Possibly,

258
00:20:28.440 --> 00:20:31.400
but anyway she did. The lady on a reception at

259
00:20:31.440 --> 00:20:36.799
the hospital said, okay, And it's the second time in

260
00:20:36.920 --> 00:20:41.839
one week that I've had two people with that kind

261
00:20:41.839 --> 00:20:45.160
of weird attitude on the phone when I've been really nice.

262
00:20:45.160 --> 00:20:50.599
I mean, I always on the phone. I'm really good

263
00:20:50.599 --> 00:20:56.440
on the phone. I'm polite. I'm very calm and very

264
00:20:56.640 --> 00:20:59.720
like maybe too polite sometimes, but I really will you know,

265
00:21:00.480 --> 00:21:03.519
I'm good on the phone. I spent years working on

266
00:21:03.559 --> 00:21:08.359
the phone. I kind of managed to learn how to

267
00:21:08.440 --> 00:21:10.640
do it. I was a professional person on the phone,

268
00:21:11.279 --> 00:21:18.799
I guess or any end. She didn't send anyone, but

269
00:21:18.920 --> 00:21:23.960
I organized for someone else, his other visitor to buy

270
00:21:24.000 --> 00:21:28.599
him some food. So I told her yesterday because she

271
00:21:28.640 --> 00:21:32.400
wanted me to sign sign a legal document or something

272
00:21:32.759 --> 00:21:37.480
given her rights her and another one of his friend's

273
00:21:37.599 --> 00:21:44.400
rights to be in control of his estate. Which this

274
00:21:44.440 --> 00:21:46.880
is all stuff that Uncle Sausages wanted me to do,

275
00:21:47.200 --> 00:21:49.960
so he's asked me to do this. So basically Uncle

276
00:21:50.039 --> 00:21:57.880
Sausages has got two best friends and me once in

277
00:21:58.160 --> 00:22:03.319
another country. Who's his pastor that he knew for the

278
00:22:03.359 --> 00:22:06.039
first he's known his whole life since he was a kid,

279
00:22:08.160 --> 00:22:11.559
since he's about twelve years older than him or ten

280
00:22:11.680 --> 00:22:16.079
years old in him. And another person is known for

281
00:22:16.079 --> 00:22:19.480
forty years who lives in this country, lives in this area.

282
00:22:21.880 --> 00:22:24.359
She was down as his next to king when he

283
00:22:24.400 --> 00:22:29.200
first went into hospital, because I was with him when

284
00:22:29.240 --> 00:22:31.960
he went into hospital, and I was with him for

285
00:22:32.000 --> 00:22:36.079
the first two weeks every single day, and then you know,

286
00:22:36.200 --> 00:22:39.359
every other day. I can't lost account of how many

287
00:22:39.400 --> 00:22:43.440
days I've been in there. So he put me down

288
00:22:43.480 --> 00:22:46.240
as his next to king so that they could talk

289
00:22:46.279 --> 00:22:48.680
to me, so that I could phone up and ask

290
00:22:48.720 --> 00:22:52.240
how he is, so I could ask the doctors questions

291
00:22:52.279 --> 00:22:54.759
and stuff like that. So I'm also down on his

292
00:22:54.880 --> 00:22:57.920
medical records as his next to king, but it's more

293
00:22:58.039 --> 00:23:02.960
just for that, it's no other reason. And because we

294
00:23:03.079 --> 00:23:06.160
got to the point where I'll be asking questions and

295
00:23:06.200 --> 00:23:11.559
they're saying, who are you. I'm with Uncle Sausages, but

296
00:23:11.680 --> 00:23:15.039
who are you? Are you his son? Are you? I

297
00:23:15.039 --> 00:23:19.599
said no, or we can't talk to you. Then, so

298
00:23:19.720 --> 00:23:28.799
in the end Uncle Sausage himself said to them you

299
00:23:28.839 --> 00:23:34.599
can talk to him. This is my not being neighbor.

300
00:23:35.839 --> 00:23:38.160
That's what he calls me, not be neighbor. I don't

301
00:23:38.200 --> 00:23:41.279
know why we're rude in it. So now I'm down

302
00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:47.039
as that. But in order for his friend, where his

303
00:23:47.119 --> 00:23:50.799
two best friends are one abroad and one here to

304
00:23:51.400 --> 00:23:55.480
be in control of his estate, so looking after his

305
00:23:57.559 --> 00:24:02.160
the arrangements in a few months time. But you know

306
00:24:02.319 --> 00:24:09.319
about going too deep into it. Dead they're going to

307
00:24:09.359 --> 00:24:10.799
be the ones that are going to be dealing with that.

308
00:24:11.319 --> 00:24:14.559
So I just had to witness it. So I put

309
00:24:14.559 --> 00:24:18.799
my signature and everything, so it's cool because I said

310
00:24:18.799 --> 00:24:21.480
to Uncle Sausages, I don't want anything to do with money.

311
00:24:21.640 --> 00:24:25.640
I don't want anything to do with that side of things.

312
00:24:26.440 --> 00:24:32.880
I can't be organizing events. I don't want to say

313
00:24:32.880 --> 00:24:35.440
the word, but I can't. I don't. Yeah, that's not

314
00:24:35.519 --> 00:24:38.400
really my thing. You need to that needs to be

315
00:24:38.440 --> 00:24:41.200
done by one person or someone that you've known a

316
00:24:41.240 --> 00:24:48.200
long time. So that something happened the other day, which

317
00:24:48.240 --> 00:24:52.960
is weird. Two nurses or care workers came up to

318
00:24:53.000 --> 00:24:55.599
him and asked him if he was being taken advantage

319
00:24:55.640 --> 00:25:00.240
of by his visitors, he would try to get money

320
00:25:00.279 --> 00:25:05.920
out of him. I couldn't believe it because I've gone

321
00:25:05.920 --> 00:25:07.720
in there at this point. I've been going in Eli

322
00:25:07.880 --> 00:25:10.759
every day and the staff know my name. I know

323
00:25:10.880 --> 00:25:18.519
their name, some of them. And it was because Uncle

324
00:25:18.559 --> 00:25:22.400
Sausages asked his friend, the other one to go down

325
00:25:22.440 --> 00:25:25.359
to the cash machine take his card. He couldn't go

326
00:25:25.400 --> 00:25:28.640
down there with her. He couldn't leave the ward draw

327
00:25:28.720 --> 00:25:34.319
money out for him. That was it. So he asked

328
00:25:34.359 --> 00:25:39.200
her to do this. She phoned him up. I wasn't

329
00:25:39.240 --> 00:25:42.279
there that night. She phoned him up and said, Uncle Sausages,

330
00:25:45.640 --> 00:25:49.400
she's auntie landlord. She thinks she used to think she

331
00:25:49.480 --> 00:25:51.920
used to be his landlord forty years ago or something.

332
00:25:53.240 --> 00:25:59.920
So he suggests Auntie Landlord and she said, Uncle Sausages,

333
00:26:01.119 --> 00:26:06.359
the pin number you gave me is not working. So

334
00:26:06.480 --> 00:26:10.200
Uncle Sosages said, oh, but at this point he's got

335
00:26:10.200 --> 00:26:14.640
it on loud speaker because he can't he can't hear

336
00:26:15.079 --> 00:26:21.559
very well. Generally, he can't hear very well, and he

337
00:26:21.880 --> 00:26:25.799
he's got it on loud speaker. And I guess the

338
00:26:25.839 --> 00:26:33.519
staff are listening to this conversation and then eventually they

339
00:26:33.559 --> 00:26:38.119
sort it out and get the right pin. He gives

340
00:26:38.160 --> 00:26:45.599
her the card to take home with her. So Auntie

341
00:26:45.680 --> 00:26:52.039
Landlord leaves money with Uncle Sosages his money and he

342
00:26:52.279 --> 00:26:55.079
tells her to take the card because he didn't he

343
00:26:55.119 --> 00:26:57.960
didn't feel safe having a card in the hospital. He

344
00:26:58.000 --> 00:26:59.960
actually had it locked up because he fought his next

345
00:27:00.079 --> 00:27:03.440
or neighbor was going to steal it. There you go,

346
00:27:03.839 --> 00:27:05.920
and I say, next door neighbor, the person in the

347
00:27:05.960 --> 00:27:09.799
bed next to him. He got this a little bit

348
00:27:09.799 --> 00:27:15.319
of a conspiracy thing going on anyway, So Auntie Landlord

349
00:27:15.599 --> 00:27:20.880
took Uncle sausages bank card home home, and a husband

350
00:27:21.000 --> 00:27:27.400
took it home on because Uncle Sausages requested this. I

351
00:27:27.440 --> 00:27:32.000
spoke to Sausages and he's also said this as well. Well.

352
00:27:33.839 --> 00:27:39.599
An hour later, apparently Uncle Sausages was making a fuss

353
00:27:40.200 --> 00:27:43.319
saying that he couldn't find his card, couldn't find his

354
00:27:43.359 --> 00:27:49.559
bank card. Someone stolen it. So the nurses care workers

355
00:27:49.559 --> 00:27:58.000
were all looking around for it, and they phoned up. Yeah,

356
00:27:58.000 --> 00:28:02.519
they must have phoned up he Auntie Landlord because she's

357
00:28:02.559 --> 00:28:07.279
his direct next to kin to tell her and and

358
00:28:07.359 --> 00:28:11.839
she said, I've got it. He gave it to me

359
00:28:12.119 --> 00:28:18.240
to take home, to bring home here. So because of that,

360
00:28:18.319 --> 00:28:22.680
I think the next day, because Uncle Sosage, I guess,

361
00:28:22.759 --> 00:28:26.640
was a bit confused about the situation or whatever. I

362
00:28:26.640 --> 00:28:28.920
suppose the whole like what's your pin number? And maybe

363
00:28:28.920 --> 00:28:36.240
that was confusing, plus the environment and that. But then

364
00:28:36.240 --> 00:28:43.400
he had Uncle Sosage had I came around to see him.

365
00:28:43.640 --> 00:28:46.319
I think the next day, No, is the day after

366
00:28:46.319 --> 00:28:55.720
that before I came. Oh wait a minute, no, it was, yeah,

367
00:28:56.319 --> 00:28:59.160
it was after I saw him. Apparently they came up

368
00:28:59.200 --> 00:29:05.440
to him and said, your visitors taken advantage you financially.

369
00:29:05.599 --> 00:29:09.759
They are they are you okay? Because of the whole

370
00:29:10.359 --> 00:29:16.160
you know, bank card fiasco. Now I understand, you know,

371
00:29:18.880 --> 00:29:21.599
duty of care and safety, and I know some people

372
00:29:21.640 --> 00:29:25.400
do get taken advantage of us, I guess in these situations,

373
00:29:25.759 --> 00:29:30.640
but he's really not. It's the complete opposite. He's being

374
00:29:30.720 --> 00:29:34.880
cared for bearing in mine he's got. You know, there's

375
00:29:34.920 --> 00:29:38.480
no one there for him other than me and her

376
00:29:38.640 --> 00:29:48.200
really Auntie Landlord. He's mister pastor. Is I like mister Pasty.

377
00:29:48.559 --> 00:29:54.039
Mister Pasty abroad. He's actually he hasn't seen him for

378
00:29:54.160 --> 00:29:58.839
quite a few years, probably about five years the last

379
00:29:58.839 --> 00:30:03.200
time he saw him, and neither of them can travel,

380
00:30:03.279 --> 00:30:08.039
so realistically he's never going to see him again. But

381
00:30:08.119 --> 00:30:12.920
he does speak to him on the phone every day,

382
00:30:13.319 --> 00:30:20.640
so it's kind of it's this whole weird situation. Why

383
00:30:20.640 --> 00:30:25.359
did I mention mister Pasty, I don't know, but yeah,

384
00:30:25.400 --> 00:30:27.279
so he can't be there. It's only really me and

385
00:30:27.319 --> 00:30:39.880
Missus Landlord that can are able to come visit him.

386
00:30:40.039 --> 00:30:44.880
And it's weird because I was going to go visit him.

387
00:30:45.759 --> 00:30:48.319
This was on a Thursday, so I saw him on

388
00:30:48.319 --> 00:30:50.920
a Wednesday. This was on a Thursday. They came around

389
00:30:53.920 --> 00:30:59.000
I think on the Friday, so Missus Landlord saw him

390
00:30:59.000 --> 00:31:02.000
on a Tuesday night. I've visited him on a Wednesday morning,

391
00:31:02.839 --> 00:31:08.240
Thursday or Thursday. They when the nurses came around and

392
00:31:08.279 --> 00:31:11.640
said to him, what did you know? Are you being

393
00:31:12.559 --> 00:31:16.799
the people trying to get your money? And he told

394
00:31:16.839 --> 00:31:21.920
me in the evening or the afternoon on the phone,

395
00:31:23.079 --> 00:31:25.200
and I thought, I need to say something when I

396
00:31:25.240 --> 00:31:27.680
go in there. But then he was moved to a

397
00:31:27.680 --> 00:31:32.319
different ward and it's so far out of the way,

398
00:31:33.079 --> 00:31:34.960
I'm not sure if I can remember where his old

399
00:31:35.000 --> 00:31:39.160
ward was. So honestly, it's like the other side of

400
00:31:39.200 --> 00:31:44.200
the hospital there's the discharge ward. So this is his

401
00:31:44.359 --> 00:31:49.359
last stop before he leaves the hospital. He may be there,

402
00:31:51.400 --> 00:31:53.559
it still may be there a few weeks, but you know,

403
00:31:53.720 --> 00:31:58.039
hopefully not hopefully. I hope he's out body by the

404
00:31:58.079 --> 00:32:01.319
next within the next week. Hope that he gets moved

405
00:32:01.359 --> 00:32:06.319
to his new place, whether it's well, wherever it is.

406
00:32:07.240 --> 00:32:10.680
I hope that he he's just thinking that he will be

407
00:32:10.880 --> 00:32:17.839
have a bit more, it'll be quieter. Hopefully he'll have

408
00:32:17.880 --> 00:32:20.039
his own room. He might not. I don't know quite

409
00:32:20.079 --> 00:32:24.599
how it works, but it will be Yeah, definitely, he'll

410
00:32:24.640 --> 00:32:28.559
get it would just be better than because this place

411
00:32:28.680 --> 00:32:32.319
is there's more people in the ward now than there

412
00:32:32.400 --> 00:32:39.839
was in the other wards. And yeah, it's a weird one.

413
00:32:40.839 --> 00:32:46.759
I don't know. It's almost like this with the other

414
00:32:46.799 --> 00:32:50.400
ward he was in, if someone needed you, you could

415
00:32:50.440 --> 00:32:54.039
the staff could hear them because they were going between wards.

416
00:32:54.279 --> 00:32:59.720
Here the staff can't hear because they're too far away,

417
00:33:00.160 --> 00:33:02.559
because awards are like a walk to get to the

418
00:33:02.559 --> 00:33:07.960
different wards within this block. Because the one he was

419
00:33:08.000 --> 00:33:15.759
in before there was ABC DN E and probably four

420
00:33:15.799 --> 00:33:22.160
beds in each, maybe six beds in some but I

421
00:33:22.200 --> 00:33:26.759
think four beds in each. That's four eight so that's

422
00:33:27.079 --> 00:33:32.759
that's over seven beds all together. And they were kind

423
00:33:32.799 --> 00:33:36.480
of going in between so there was always they could

424
00:33:36.519 --> 00:33:41.160
kind of keep an eye on everything. Here. It's you know,

425
00:33:41.200 --> 00:33:44.039
when you're in a different ward because I don't know

426
00:33:44.039 --> 00:33:48.079
what you cornicot, but it's the Yeah, it's it's not

427
00:33:48.160 --> 00:33:53.119
the same. I don't seem to have the definitely don't

428
00:33:53.119 --> 00:33:55.119
have the same amount of staff in because the one

429
00:33:55.160 --> 00:33:59.839
I was on before, the one he was on before busy, busy, constant,

430
00:34:00.119 --> 00:34:04.880
you know, staff all the time here there, it seems

431
00:34:04.920 --> 00:34:10.559
to be a lot less going on. I'm sure they're

432
00:34:10.599 --> 00:34:14.000
just as great, it's just it's a lot less. But anyway,

433
00:34:14.119 --> 00:34:19.239
Uncle's Sausages doesn't like it there, and he's been told

434
00:34:19.239 --> 00:34:22.800
off a couple of times. And he's not a big fan,

435
00:34:23.440 --> 00:34:26.159
as I'm sure most people are not being told off.

436
00:34:29.000 --> 00:34:35.519
He's Yeah, it's weird. Can you imagine getting to seventy

437
00:34:35.559 --> 00:34:39.159
eight and being told what You're not allowed to leave

438
00:34:39.159 --> 00:34:42.199
your bed. You're not allowed to have ice cubes? He

439
00:34:42.239 --> 00:34:46.760
was told. He said, ice cubes are banned. I don't

440
00:34:46.760 --> 00:34:48.559
know if that's true or not. That's what he said.

441
00:34:50.000 --> 00:34:53.079
That's a weird one. I'm not sure what the context

442
00:34:53.239 --> 00:34:56.360
was of that conversation. Unless he was just chucking them

443
00:34:56.360 --> 00:35:01.760
at the staff. It should be banned, then, shouldn't they anyway,

444
00:35:02.440 --> 00:35:11.159
if he was playing hockey with them or something calling

445
00:35:11.239 --> 00:35:15.880
his nipples off. So Michelle says, does uncle Sauses have

446
00:35:15.960 --> 00:35:19.840
any family? You're so kind to be there for him. Oh,

447
00:35:19.880 --> 00:35:24.199
thank you, Michelle. I don't feel very kind. I don't

448
00:35:24.519 --> 00:35:26.199
not not. I don't feel very kind, but I don't

449
00:35:26.239 --> 00:35:33.400
feel I don't feel that I'm necessarily helping him. I do,

450
00:35:33.519 --> 00:35:36.719
but I don't. But I do, but I don't. It's

451
00:35:37.559 --> 00:35:41.360
I'll tell you what it is. He wouldn't be in

452
00:35:41.440 --> 00:35:46.440
hospital if it wasn't for me. I mean, I'm not

453
00:35:46.480 --> 00:35:52.559
the cause of his illness. Clearly, I'm not the cause

454
00:35:52.599 --> 00:35:59.119
of that. But bearing in mind, he's very symptomatic free

455
00:36:00.199 --> 00:36:04.519
pretty much. I mean, he's on medication, so yeah, his

456
00:36:04.639 --> 00:36:08.280
symptoms would be he'd have a lot more symptoms if

457
00:36:08.280 --> 00:36:13.840
he wasn't on medication. So in those three weeks since

458
00:36:14.079 --> 00:36:18.519
I saw him, when he opened the door and he

459
00:36:18.599 --> 00:36:24.880
was yellow, and I basically bamboozled him or lambooned him

460
00:36:24.960 --> 00:36:29.960
or kind of pushed him into opening the door to

461
00:36:30.199 --> 00:36:34.679
paramedics because he didn't want to. I kind of force

462
00:36:34.760 --> 00:36:37.280
his hand a little bit for that, because I was

463
00:36:37.320 --> 00:36:40.920
so worried about him. And I was right to be

464
00:36:41.000 --> 00:36:43.960
worried about him, because it was way worse than I thought.

465
00:36:44.440 --> 00:36:47.079
I didn't think it was. I could see there was

466
00:36:48.000 --> 00:36:53.519
clearly a a jaundice situation, possibly just because of the coloring.

467
00:36:55.039 --> 00:36:57.400
But I thought it just it would be something simple,

468
00:36:58.880 --> 00:37:04.400
you know, just needed to some medication and he'd be fine.

469
00:37:05.000 --> 00:37:13.519
I was wrong. But he didn't want to go in there.

470
00:37:16.400 --> 00:37:18.719
All he wanted to do is be left alone watch

471
00:37:18.760 --> 00:37:26.519
his sport at home, and just I get it, I

472
00:37:26.559 --> 00:37:30.400
do well. I think I do, not the sport park

473
00:37:30.400 --> 00:37:33.960
because that wouldn't interest me, but just the wanting to

474
00:37:34.000 --> 00:37:41.000
be left alone. The chances I wouldn't be here now

475
00:37:42.400 --> 00:37:49.039
if I had done that, pretty big chances actually, And

476
00:37:49.480 --> 00:37:52.360
if he was here, it'd be in hospital, so you know,

477
00:37:52.639 --> 00:37:57.880
he would have ended up in hospital anyway. But it's

478
00:37:58.440 --> 00:38:00.599
I don't know. I think it's part of them. I

479
00:38:00.599 --> 00:38:05.119
think really dislikes me for that. He's mentioned it a

480
00:38:05.119 --> 00:38:11.360
few times. That Friday night. It's the infinitous Friday night

481
00:38:12.400 --> 00:38:15.880
when I did everything I could to get him to

482
00:38:17.880 --> 00:38:22.920
listen to me because he wouldn't, and he slamed the

483
00:38:22.920 --> 00:38:27.920
door in my face that day. But at the same time,

484
00:38:31.039 --> 00:38:33.360
he agreed, you know, he agreed on the phone to

485
00:38:33.400 --> 00:38:36.320
see the paramedics. When they phoned him up, he answered

486
00:38:36.320 --> 00:38:39.960
the door and they were all going out. He didn't

487
00:38:40.000 --> 00:38:43.000
knock on my door nothing. So I went out to

488
00:38:43.039 --> 00:38:46.199
see how he was and the paramedics said, or take

489
00:38:46.280 --> 00:38:52.119
him to the hospital, and Alex looked at me. I said,

490
00:38:52.119 --> 00:38:55.199
you want me to come, and he said yes, please.

491
00:38:58.239 --> 00:39:02.840
So from then on we're being good. But you know,

492
00:39:02.920 --> 00:39:04.440
he was just going to go on his own. I

493
00:39:04.440 --> 00:39:06.079
think the fact that he slammed the door in my face.

494
00:39:06.079 --> 00:39:10.360
He probably thought that I possibly wasn't the right person

495
00:39:10.400 --> 00:39:13.480
for him to ask for help after he'd done that.

496
00:39:13.559 --> 00:39:18.760
But I've had worse, I mean kind, I've had slapped

497
00:39:18.760 --> 00:39:23.360
doors slammed in my face before. I've had people say

498
00:39:24.199 --> 00:39:28.960
nasty things to me. You should have seen me and

499
00:39:29.079 --> 00:39:31.880
Luke some of the things he said to me. But

500
00:39:33.440 --> 00:39:38.800
when you know someone's unwell, I think it's kind of

501
00:39:39.039 --> 00:39:43.840
making a few adjustments. I think he's required. So I've

502
00:39:43.880 --> 00:39:46.199
done that while he's been in the hospital as well.

503
00:39:46.480 --> 00:39:51.719
Uncle's Sausages. Kind of got to realize that he's going

504
00:39:51.760 --> 00:39:57.159
through something that I've never gone through. I've not really

505
00:39:57.280 --> 00:40:00.239
got any way of understanding what he's going through through.

506
00:40:02.800 --> 00:40:08.960
And because everyone experiences things differently, anyway, you know, we

507
00:40:09.000 --> 00:40:11.079
can I mean, you can say someone, you get ten

508
00:40:11.119 --> 00:40:14.679
people going through the same experience, you can swap notes

509
00:40:15.159 --> 00:40:19.199
and say, okay, well, there's a few similarities in how

510
00:40:19.559 --> 00:40:24.039
we're feeling about this particular situation, but ultimately, when it

511
00:40:24.079 --> 00:40:28.079
comes to feelings, when it comes to emotions, it's going

512
00:40:28.159 --> 00:40:32.920
to be different for everyone. So I have no clue

513
00:40:33.400 --> 00:40:36.599
really how he's feeling. And he doesn't like to talk

514
00:40:36.599 --> 00:40:43.320
about his feelings unless he's angry. That seems to be

515
00:40:43.800 --> 00:40:46.000
and it's usually got nothing to do with the situation,

516
00:40:46.800 --> 00:40:51.360
is to do with an an outside thing, something that's annoyeding,

517
00:40:52.280 --> 00:40:57.800
rather like the food and not being tasty or something

518
00:40:57.880 --> 00:41:05.239
like that. But he's not. Yeah, I guess, But again

519
00:41:05.360 --> 00:41:13.119
I can't judge it because I have no idea, got zero,

520
00:41:13.639 --> 00:41:18.440
zero idea what he's going through emotionally or physically. I

521
00:41:18.480 --> 00:41:22.679
don't know. I don't know. Oh, I know what he

522
00:41:22.719 --> 00:41:24.840
tells me, but I still don't know what it's like

523
00:41:24.920 --> 00:41:35.760
for him. So it's this been weird. It's been very,

524
00:41:35.880 --> 00:41:44.679
very weird. Yeah, I just I hope that within the

525
00:41:45.320 --> 00:41:47.559
he's gone through a point where he was going to

526
00:41:47.599 --> 00:41:51.360
walk out. Now he's got to a point where he's

527
00:41:51.400 --> 00:41:57.760
just waiting to be moved, that that mention of just

528
00:41:57.840 --> 00:42:00.880
walking out is gone now because he knows he's not

529
00:42:00.920 --> 00:42:06.719
allowed out and he knows that he can't. It's not

530
00:42:06.760 --> 00:42:08.639
going to work out if he just walks out. He

531
00:42:08.719 --> 00:42:15.719
realizes that now for a few medical physical reasons, and

532
00:42:17.719 --> 00:42:20.639
it seems to have come to accept that he can't

533
00:42:20.679 --> 00:42:26.199
just walk out of the hospital and come home. Not

534
00:42:26.199 --> 00:42:32.119
not not that he can't, but it'd be possibly unable

535
00:42:32.159 --> 00:42:36.760
to himself do it in a from a physical perspective,

536
00:42:37.159 --> 00:42:41.239
there's a few there's a few barriers, a few physical barriers,

537
00:42:41.519 --> 00:42:45.239
and also there's the medication which possibly having a bit

538
00:42:45.239 --> 00:42:49.920
of an effect on him, and if he walked out,

539
00:42:49.920 --> 00:42:53.199
he wouldn't have the medication, or if he did, would

540
00:42:53.239 --> 00:42:57.280
he take it? You know, stuff like that. So, oh,

541
00:43:01.079 --> 00:43:05.159
it's been very strange. Oh yeah, I had another one

542
00:43:05.280 --> 00:43:10.320
this lady. I phoned a taxi. All I did is

543
00:43:10.440 --> 00:43:13.599
I phoned for taxi. Can you please pick me up

544
00:43:13.599 --> 00:43:18.039
from the hospital and take me to this address or whatever?

545
00:43:18.199 --> 00:43:22.719
She said, Okay again she answered the phone laughing. It's

546
00:43:22.760 --> 00:43:24.760
a weird one. Just I don't think it's the same person.

547
00:43:25.960 --> 00:43:32.280
And she's basically laughing at me when I was talking.

548
00:43:32.679 --> 00:43:34.960
It seemed to me because I've been on the other

549
00:43:35.079 --> 00:43:38.440
end of that situation where someone is making fun of

550
00:43:38.480 --> 00:43:42.800
the customer, whether it's because of the way they're talking,

551
00:43:43.159 --> 00:43:50.519
or because of their accent or maybe anything, or perhaps

552
00:43:52.239 --> 00:43:56.440
the two people on the other side are just you know,

553
00:43:57.039 --> 00:44:00.360
so it's got the person answering the phone, walking on

554
00:44:00.360 --> 00:44:02.960
the phone to the customer, but they might have been

555
00:44:03.000 --> 00:44:08.760
in the middle of her something hilarious. Who knows, or

556
00:44:08.800 --> 00:44:12.920
maybe she was watching a video on YouTube at the

557
00:44:12.960 --> 00:44:17.800
same time as talking in anyone's guess, but super rude,

558
00:44:17.960 --> 00:44:24.840
just laughing at me. And again I was like okay,

559
00:44:25.480 --> 00:44:29.119
and I thought, maybe say not I'm just moaning, but

560
00:44:30.360 --> 00:44:35.280
maybe I am. If you pick in, it's I phone

561
00:44:35.280 --> 00:44:39.320
in for a taxi from the hospital. So the way

562
00:44:39.440 --> 00:44:44.559
my brain works it goes this way. Say if you're

563
00:44:44.559 --> 00:44:47.119
phone in for a taxi and you're answering, you're answering

564
00:44:47.119 --> 00:44:50.800
the taxi. Yeah, your job is to answer the phone

565
00:44:51.800 --> 00:44:55.280
to organize a taxi for a customer and they're phoning

566
00:44:55.360 --> 00:45:00.920
from the hospital. Then treat that person with respect, and

567
00:45:01.000 --> 00:45:06.159
must say treat everyone with respect. But nobody who's phone

568
00:45:06.199 --> 00:45:09.360
in for a taxi to be taken away from the

569
00:45:09.400 --> 00:45:13.960
hospital is being No one's been having a jolly. No

570
00:45:14.000 --> 00:45:18.800
one's been having a good time. Either there a patient,

571
00:45:20.000 --> 00:45:23.880
a visiting a patient, or they work in the hospital.

572
00:45:25.000 --> 00:45:29.400
That's kind of pretty much the three types of people

573
00:45:29.480 --> 00:45:36.039
that are going to be at the hospital. I whant

574
00:45:36.039 --> 00:45:38.519
I say working there, even people that work in costas

575
00:45:39.039 --> 00:45:43.280
working w a smith. It's got had is an extra

576
00:45:43.360 --> 00:45:48.280
element to work in those places. In the hospital that

577
00:45:48.360 --> 00:45:52.000
you wouldn't get in a normal costs or a normal

578
00:45:54.840 --> 00:46:00.840
supermarket because of just it's a different a voment. It's this,

579
00:46:01.920 --> 00:46:05.280
it's not this is not easy. It's not an easy environment.

580
00:46:07.400 --> 00:46:09.760
So yeah, I was that was a weird because I

581
00:46:09.800 --> 00:46:12.960
don't get that very often when people are rude on

582
00:46:13.000 --> 00:46:18.400
the phone, but I had it twice this week. So

583
00:46:18.800 --> 00:46:20.440
this is what I'm going to let you know. This

584
00:46:20.480 --> 00:46:22.880
is how I talk when I when I phone up,

585
00:46:22.960 --> 00:46:25.639
this is what I first say to the person who

586
00:46:25.760 --> 00:46:28.400
answers the phone. Okay, so tell me whether or not

587
00:46:28.760 --> 00:46:31.320
this deserves for the other person to be rude to me.

588
00:46:32.199 --> 00:46:34.039
So this is how I spoke when I phoned up

589
00:46:34.079 --> 00:46:39.400
the hospital reception, you know, for Uncle sausages, about getting

590
00:46:39.480 --> 00:46:43.000
him some food. And it is exactly the same way

591
00:46:43.079 --> 00:46:46.719
when I phone up for my taxi. So I'll be honest, right,

592
00:46:46.760 --> 00:46:48.360
you can write in the comments or whatever you want.

593
00:46:48.800 --> 00:46:52.360
Tell me if this really deserved for me for them

594
00:46:52.400 --> 00:46:56.199
to be rude to me. So you got like ring ring,

595
00:46:56.400 --> 00:47:03.800
ring ring, and it answers hello taxi or hello hospital.

596
00:47:04.800 --> 00:47:09.400
I said, yeah, now listen to me. I'm the boss.

597
00:47:09.880 --> 00:47:12.360
I want you to do what I say. I'm the

598
00:47:12.440 --> 00:47:16.400
king of the castle. You're the dirty rascal. Now take

599
00:47:16.719 --> 00:47:18.760
take a pair. If you've got a pen, write this

600
00:47:18.840 --> 00:47:21.760
down because you're probably going to forget it. Come on now,

601
00:47:22.000 --> 00:47:27.119
chop chop. What I want is this? Now? Tell me?

602
00:47:28.760 --> 00:47:34.639
Does that deserve? Does that? Does that deserve for people

603
00:47:34.679 --> 00:47:37.519
to be rude to me? From that? It's a perfectly

604
00:47:38.119 --> 00:47:44.840
kind and gentle way to start a phone a telephone conversation.

605
00:47:45.679 --> 00:47:50.239
Don't you think It's like yeah, yeah, oh, I saw

606
00:47:51.320 --> 00:47:56.280
Shakira in an interview the other day. She's hardly changed.

607
00:47:58.760 --> 00:48:03.159
She just looks she just looks the same. It's like,

608
00:48:04.679 --> 00:48:08.199
I don't know, it's weird. I mean, she means don't

609
00:48:08.239 --> 00:48:12.159
look exactly the same, but she's still She's just doesn't

610
00:48:12.159 --> 00:48:18.360
seem to have aged hardly. It's weird. So oh, do

611
00:48:18.440 --> 00:48:21.599
you ever see that thing on Facebook where they say, oh,

612
00:48:22.199 --> 00:48:26.679
guess who this celebrity is and they show you a

613
00:48:26.719 --> 00:48:39.960
picture of them now in their seventies and they're so surprised,

614
00:48:40.000 --> 00:48:45.440
like I can't believe it. There's seventy eight and they

615
00:48:45.440 --> 00:48:47.480
don't look like they did when they were twenty three.

616
00:48:48.920 --> 00:48:55.679
That's just crazy. It's like, why why have those photographs

617
00:48:57.280 --> 00:48:58.760
at least we haven't got to put up with that.

618
00:48:58.840 --> 00:49:02.119
If you're like you might be famous, but for non

619
00:49:02.239 --> 00:49:05.400
famous people, we haven't got to have that. Have we

620
00:49:06.920 --> 00:49:10.280
to have publicly pictures of us when we was young

621
00:49:10.400 --> 00:49:13.719
compared to out how we look now or when we're older.

622
00:49:18.559 --> 00:49:21.440
I don't know what's going on down there. A lot

623
00:49:21.480 --> 00:49:25.159
of noise, that's what's going on. I actually listened to

624
00:49:25.159 --> 00:49:28.679
my podcast the other day and I could hear God

625
00:49:28.719 --> 00:49:33.320
be out there raw rah rah rah rah like that.

626
00:49:37.719 --> 00:49:44.519
I don't know why. So Michelle asks, yes, I'm still

627
00:49:44.519 --> 00:49:48.599
doing Q and A Friday, believe or not. Michelle asks,

628
00:49:48.800 --> 00:49:53.159
does Uncle Sausages have any family? Oh yeah, I've already

629
00:49:53.199 --> 00:50:03.320
done this. No, no, zero, zero family, none whatsoever. I

630
00:50:03.360 --> 00:50:13.559
think he he would probably class. I think he pretty

631
00:50:13.599 --> 00:50:24.039
much classes Auntie Landlord and Uncle Pasty to be his family.

632
00:50:27.119 --> 00:50:32.000
And I'm not be the neighbor, as I said. And

633
00:50:32.079 --> 00:50:37.920
also Little Vinnie. He loves Uncle Sausages, loves Little Vinnie.

634
00:50:38.280 --> 00:50:42.960
Little Vinie loves Uncle Sausages. He does. They talked to

635
00:50:43.000 --> 00:50:46.519
each other through the door what they used to. So

636
00:50:46.559 --> 00:50:49.320
I'd be in here and I'll mention this, but I'd

637
00:50:49.360 --> 00:50:51.960
be in here, they'd be having this full on conversation

638
00:50:52.920 --> 00:50:55.559
through the doorway because the door would be locked closed

639
00:50:56.239 --> 00:50:58.480
because I didn't want him getting it, do I? And

640
00:50:59.239 --> 00:51:02.320
it'd be outside the door talking to Vinnie and they'd

641
00:51:02.320 --> 00:51:05.400
be like talking. It's like it would go on for

642
00:51:05.480 --> 00:51:09.119
about five minutes. I don't know what they were saying.

643
00:51:10.280 --> 00:51:12.000
I could hear what he was saying, but I couldn't.

644
00:51:12.280 --> 00:51:17.360
Vinnie was just going, oh, like that, maybe barking a bit.

645
00:51:20.719 --> 00:51:26.199
You can understand Uncle's sausages, couldn't you. He understands anyone

646
00:51:26.599 --> 00:51:30.280
that gives him sausages. He can just une into their language.

647
00:51:30.639 --> 00:51:35.239
If sausages are involved, you turning, he turns into a genius,

648
00:51:36.239 --> 00:51:41.199
don't you. Vin. I'm getting a sense that Somen's about

649
00:51:41.199 --> 00:51:46.840
to cut the lawn, That's what I'm getting. Did I

650
00:51:46.840 --> 00:51:51.079
tell you they took the scaffolding down outside? I feel

651
00:51:51.119 --> 00:51:53.119
like I'm giving you an update on the whole week

652
00:51:53.920 --> 00:51:56.719
because I haven't done as many recordings as I normally do,

653
00:51:57.519 --> 00:52:01.000
so I didn't do one Thursday. I'm doing this on Saturday,

654
00:52:01.199 --> 00:52:04.039
and it's terrible. But should have done this yesterday, but

655
00:52:05.239 --> 00:52:09.760
I was too tired. Yesterday. I got the weekend off,

656
00:52:10.199 --> 00:52:13.480
so I got today end, Sunday off and I'm going

657
00:52:13.519 --> 00:52:20.679
in Monday. And his auntie Landlord went in to see

658
00:52:20.760 --> 00:52:26.039
him last night, No, not last night, Thursday night, and

659
00:52:26.079 --> 00:52:29.360
she's going in tonight. So he's literally only going one

660
00:52:29.440 --> 00:52:35.000
day without seeing anyone. I kind of do the Monday.

661
00:52:35.119 --> 00:52:37.119
I'm trying to do it the Monday, Wednesday, Friday at

662
00:52:37.159 --> 00:52:41.639
the moment, but leaving those other days open in case

663
00:52:41.679 --> 00:52:45.440
he needs me to go in, so you know, they're

664
00:52:45.480 --> 00:52:49.760
still open, they's still available, and I have you know,

665
00:52:49.920 --> 00:52:52.800
last week I was going to have I did the

666
00:52:52.840 --> 00:52:57.199
whole week and then I was going to have Saturday

667
00:52:57.239 --> 00:53:03.159
and Sunday off, but Saturday morning he wanted me to

668
00:53:03.199 --> 00:53:05.800
go in, so I went in. So you know, if

669
00:53:05.800 --> 00:53:08.119
he needs me to go in because for whatever reason,

670
00:53:08.719 --> 00:53:11.119
if I can't sort it out on the phone, then

671
00:53:11.159 --> 00:53:14.760
I'll go in. Or if he just really needs be

672
00:53:14.840 --> 00:53:17.840
to go in, then I will if I can, if

673
00:53:17.880 --> 00:53:23.760
I can afford to get in. I got yeah. Yesterday

674
00:53:23.760 --> 00:53:26.920
he was going about, oh yeah, I'll get someone to

675
00:53:27.000 --> 00:53:30.559
buy off to get a taxi in and and get

676
00:53:30.920 --> 00:53:33.679
get the sandwiches from the petrol station across the road

677
00:53:33.679 --> 00:53:35.920
from where we live and bring them in to me.

678
00:53:36.360 --> 00:53:38.199
Because that's what he used to do every day, go

679
00:53:38.280 --> 00:53:42.400
to the petrol station, buy some sandwiches, maybe a drink,

680
00:53:43.239 --> 00:53:45.159
and then he'd come home and eat it. That would

681
00:53:45.199 --> 00:53:52.639
that be his food? And I said, I'm not, you know,

682
00:53:53.280 --> 00:53:56.559
he wouldn't say. He didn't ask me directly. He said,

683
00:53:56.559 --> 00:54:00.639
if if only someone could do that. I kept saying

684
00:54:00.679 --> 00:54:03.360
to him, Look, I was there with you two hours ago.

685
00:54:04.360 --> 00:54:06.519
I was with you for three hours or whatever it was.

686
00:54:07.400 --> 00:54:09.400
I could have got you anything. I kept asking you

687
00:54:09.400 --> 00:54:12.800
if you needed anything. I mean, I can take him

688
00:54:12.840 --> 00:54:14.519
down in a wheelchair if he wants to go down

689
00:54:14.519 --> 00:54:19.599
with me. It's a ramp the whole way, and lifts

690
00:54:19.639 --> 00:54:22.920
and everything, so i't got like bumping bumping up and

691
00:54:22.960 --> 00:54:32.079
down the stairs. It'd be weird, wouldn't it. But I thought, no,

692
00:54:32.199 --> 00:54:36.440
I'm not. I can't. First of all, it's gonna he's

693
00:54:37.079 --> 00:54:38.639
he wanted to pay for us. It's going to cost

694
00:54:38.679 --> 00:54:43.800
forty pound, well, seventeen pound there, seventeen pounds back. I

695
00:54:43.840 --> 00:54:50.559
always give twenty pound give a tip. But that puts

696
00:54:50.599 --> 00:54:53.559
me in an awkward position because firstly, I couldn't afford

697
00:54:53.880 --> 00:54:57.000
to spend that money myself, so I'd have to go

698
00:54:57.039 --> 00:55:01.719
there walk all the way up to the ward, get

699
00:55:01.760 --> 00:55:04.599
that money from him to take it back down to

700
00:55:04.639 --> 00:55:07.239
the taxi driver. So by this time it's probably going

701
00:55:07.320 --> 00:55:10.760
to be twenty five pound because it's a long old walk,

702
00:55:11.679 --> 00:55:14.880
so waiting time, you know. But then I'd have to

703
00:55:14.920 --> 00:55:17.440
ask him for money, which means going into the ward

704
00:55:18.480 --> 00:55:22.960
and the staff seeing him give me money. And I'm

705
00:55:23.000 --> 00:55:27.599
not prepared for that, especially after those nurses questioning him

706
00:55:27.760 --> 00:55:30.480
about it. So I thought, and I said that to him.

707
00:55:30.480 --> 00:55:32.880
I said, don't ever give me anything. I said, I've never,

708
00:55:33.400 --> 00:55:37.239
You've never. He's been offering me stuff for years whenever

709
00:55:37.280 --> 00:55:39.360
I help him out, so I can help you, and

710
00:55:39.639 --> 00:55:41.880
I've lent him some money and he always pays it back.

711
00:55:42.119 --> 00:55:44.519
It's only a couple of times. Helped him when he

712
00:55:44.559 --> 00:55:48.039
got locked out, Helped him with his bathroom, Helped him

713
00:55:48.079 --> 00:55:52.000
with just various different bits and bobs, helped him get

714
00:55:52.039 --> 00:55:55.639
his water build down from ninety pounds a month to

715
00:55:55.679 --> 00:56:00.280
twelve pound fifty. Literally he's been ripped off by out

716
00:56:01.920 --> 00:56:05.320
about twelve pounds he's probably spent that he didn't need

717
00:56:05.360 --> 00:56:08.599
to spend over the last thirty years twenty five years.

718
00:56:10.719 --> 00:56:13.719
Helped him with his banking, just because he can't hear

719
00:56:13.800 --> 00:56:16.800
on the phone. He can't hear the person he's talking

720
00:56:16.800 --> 00:56:19.000
to very well. So what I do is I do

721
00:56:19.000 --> 00:56:20.440
it with him, so he's in the room with me

722
00:56:21.159 --> 00:56:24.599
and we do it together. So it's just been the

723
00:56:24.639 --> 00:56:27.880
last year or so that we've been doing that, and

724
00:56:29.519 --> 00:56:37.920
he's he's offered me stuff like I'll give you this,

725
00:56:38.000 --> 00:56:42.599
give you that. No, don't want anything. He got a

726
00:56:45.119 --> 00:56:48.880
like a loan thing which wasn't alone, but it was

727
00:56:48.920 --> 00:56:53.320
one that you don't have to pay back from the government,

728
00:56:53.800 --> 00:56:56.880
which was to help him with his flax. He has

729
00:56:56.920 --> 00:56:59.559
some problems with his flat, so to buy some new

730
00:56:59.599 --> 00:57:03.360
stuff and he needed it through his new kitchen. That's

731
00:57:03.800 --> 00:57:09.039
that was being done. He had four weeks to use

732
00:57:09.079 --> 00:57:13.119
it and he didn't use it, and the expirer date

733
00:57:13.320 --> 00:57:17.679
was the thirty first of I don't know when I

734
00:57:17.719 --> 00:57:21.159
think he could use it for anything. He I think

735
00:57:21.159 --> 00:57:24.039
groceries whatever, so, but I think it needed to be

736
00:57:24.119 --> 00:57:28.440
using a supermarket. So what I did is I said,

737
00:57:28.480 --> 00:57:30.039
we need to use it. He said, no, no, you

738
00:57:30.119 --> 00:57:32.360
just have it. I said, I don't want it. It's

739
00:57:32.360 --> 00:57:34.800
not for me, it's for you. He said, well, you

740
00:57:34.840 --> 00:57:38.400
just just buy stuff for yourself. I said, no, it's

741
00:57:38.480 --> 00:57:41.639
like three hundred and fifty nine pounds I think it was.

742
00:57:43.480 --> 00:57:45.480
He said, we'll just chuck it away. Then I said, no,

743
00:57:46.000 --> 00:57:48.239
you wouldn't just chuck three hundred and fifty nine pound

744
00:57:48.280 --> 00:57:51.199
in the bin, would you? He said, I might do

745
00:57:51.280 --> 00:57:53.360
what's he got to do with you? Didn't? He didn't

746
00:57:53.360 --> 00:57:57.719
say that, So I almost had to kind of talk

747
00:57:57.800 --> 00:58:00.800
him into coming in there, going on a pewter and

748
00:58:00.960 --> 00:58:05.360
him choosing what he wanted to buy for himself and

749
00:58:05.400 --> 00:58:07.639
then doing it on the card. He just didn't want

750
00:58:07.639 --> 00:58:10.840
to do it on He didn't know how to use

751
00:58:10.880 --> 00:58:12.119
the card, and I think he was a little bit

752
00:58:12.159 --> 00:58:15.480
afraid of it, which I understand. But it was just

753
00:58:15.519 --> 00:58:19.440
like that's a lot of money to just let fall

754
00:58:19.480 --> 00:58:25.039
on the floor, especially as he needed he needed a kettle,

755
00:58:25.159 --> 00:58:30.639
He needed a what did he get? A kettle? Toaster, cutlery,

756
00:58:31.639 --> 00:58:36.920
dishes and plates, towels, all things like that for his

757
00:58:37.000 --> 00:58:42.760
new kitchen that he didn't have before, and a toaster

758
00:58:43.079 --> 00:58:45.920
or those you know those brevel not brevel, but it's

759
00:58:46.880 --> 00:58:52.440
makes toasted sandwiches and a few other bits and bobs

760
00:58:52.480 --> 00:58:58.480
that kind of he really needed. And it's like, Okay, well,

761
00:58:58.480 --> 00:59:03.119
this is you got the I said, it's going to

762
00:59:03.119 --> 00:59:07.920
be delivered to my address because this is my supermarket

763
00:59:08.599 --> 00:59:12.440
that I'm using it on like online. But you need

764
00:59:12.480 --> 00:59:16.119
to keep the receipt and keep hold of it and

765
00:59:16.239 --> 00:59:18.400
know that you've got the stuff that I didn't order

766
00:59:18.400 --> 00:59:21.360
it myself for me. You know, it's just I'm trying

767
00:59:21.400 --> 00:59:24.039
to cover myself because that could look bad, couldn't it

768
00:59:24.639 --> 00:59:27.480
like I've stolen his card or something, which I haven't.

769
00:59:28.320 --> 00:59:30.639
So all the stuff said is in his flat. Anyway,

770
00:59:31.760 --> 00:59:35.760
he started using some of it, but he was waiting

771
00:59:35.800 --> 00:59:40.639
for the because the kitchen hadn't been Yeah, at this point,

772
00:59:40.719 --> 00:59:44.199
the kitchen hadn't even been started. So it's about to

773
00:59:44.239 --> 00:59:48.400
be started, and we we had to get the Yeah,

774
00:59:48.440 --> 00:59:50.760
that's that's it. So he had all stacked in his

775
00:59:50.880 --> 00:59:53.960
bedroom while the kitchen was being done, and once the

776
00:59:54.039 --> 00:59:58.079
kitchen was finished, then he started taking the stuff into

777
00:59:58.079 --> 01:00:01.239
the kitchen because really quite a few of the boxes

778
01:00:01.280 --> 01:00:06.039
the other day. So yeah, but even then, like, oh,

779
01:00:06.119 --> 01:00:12.639
you take it. No, I'm not taking it. I'm sure

780
01:00:12.679 --> 01:00:15.079
plenty of people will have done, but I just no,

781
01:00:16.320 --> 01:00:18.360
Oh I'll give you some money. No, I don't want

782
01:00:18.360 --> 01:00:20.880
any money. I don't want his stuff. I don't want

783
01:00:20.880 --> 01:00:25.599
anything from him, just like, come on, just all I want,

784
01:00:26.519 --> 01:00:28.239
all I ever wanted for him is for him just

785
01:00:28.280 --> 01:00:31.679
to be safe and happy and help him out. If

786
01:00:31.679 --> 01:00:35.679
I can help him, I will. He's elderly, he's not

787
01:00:35.719 --> 01:00:38.599
that much older than me, though he's twenty four years

788
01:00:38.599 --> 01:00:42.480
older than me. But what I see in him is

789
01:00:44.119 --> 01:00:47.000
kind of me in a sense, living on my own,

790
01:00:48.079 --> 01:00:54.159
got nobody, nobody to look after me, nobody visits, I

791
01:00:54.159 --> 01:00:56.760
don't let anyone in. I'm very very similar to him

792
01:00:56.800 --> 01:00:59.519
in that way. I live my own life, very independent.

793
01:01:00.920 --> 01:01:02.880
I only go out because of Vinny. If it wasn't

794
01:01:02.920 --> 01:01:07.559
for him, I probably wouldn't leave leave the house. And

795
01:01:09.360 --> 01:01:14.480
he's obsessed with football and sport. I'm obsessed with this stuff,

796
01:01:16.199 --> 01:01:20.880
so it's kind of I can see that similarity. We're

797
01:01:20.880 --> 01:01:32.840
both very verbal, very you know, talkative, chatty, energetic. I'm

798
01:01:32.840 --> 01:01:35.360
not sure how energetic I am, but he's a way

799
01:01:35.360 --> 01:01:39.280
more energetic than I am even now. But that's more

800
01:01:39.320 --> 01:01:43.920
to do with his passion. He's absolutely obsessed with sport,

801
01:01:45.119 --> 01:01:48.599
and that's what that's what that's what annoys me, probably

802
01:01:48.639 --> 01:01:53.480
more than annoys me about his situation because he's more enthusiastic.

803
01:01:53.719 --> 01:01:56.880
In fact, I don't think I've ever met anyone more

804
01:01:57.000 --> 01:02:01.239
enthusiastic about being alive than him in my whole life.

805
01:02:02.000 --> 01:02:05.840
And I'm including the kids, I'm including everyone. The energy

806
01:02:05.840 --> 01:02:08.239
he's got, he's got the energy of a small child.

807
01:02:08.880 --> 01:02:13.800
It's endless as far as his enthusiasm goes. Yeah, he

808
01:02:13.840 --> 01:02:16.199
can't run and it can't probably climb a tree anymore.

809
01:02:16.199 --> 01:02:19.679
I don't mean it in that way, but his enthusiasm

810
01:02:20.400 --> 01:02:25.079
for football and for rugby and golf and stuff like that,

811
01:02:27.039 --> 01:02:31.360
and I've always found it annoying just because I'm not

812
01:02:31.440 --> 01:02:39.199
interested in sport other than boxing. And he can't match

813
01:02:39.280 --> 01:02:40.880
me with boxing because I know a lot more about

814
01:02:40.920 --> 01:02:44.960
it than he does. But I can't even when it

815
01:02:45.000 --> 01:02:53.960
comes to football, rugby, golf, tennis, cricket. I mean, that's

816
01:02:54.000 --> 01:02:57.599
a lot of sports. He knows the name well. His

817
01:02:57.639 --> 01:02:59.320
memory is not as good as what it used to be,

818
01:02:59.400 --> 01:03:02.760
but he's a bit more groggy, but again that might

819
01:03:02.800 --> 01:03:06.920
be due to the medication or the other thing. So,

820
01:03:08.880 --> 01:03:12.480
but he's always been so passionate and that's the thing

821
01:03:12.519 --> 01:03:15.679
that I've respected. It's the thing that annoyed me just

822
01:03:15.719 --> 01:03:18.000
because he just talks and talks and talks and talks

823
01:03:18.000 --> 01:03:23.199
and talks. And in the past I've told him I'm

824
01:03:23.199 --> 01:03:27.039
not interested in what you're talking about, not in a

825
01:03:27.079 --> 01:03:29.280
bad way, I just like, you know, I don't care

826
01:03:29.280 --> 01:03:32.760
about football. Yeah, you want to talk to Hi about football?

827
01:03:34.719 --> 01:03:37.440
And he laughs because he knows that I'm not that

828
01:03:37.480 --> 01:03:39.400
it's just not something I want to listen. I want

829
01:03:39.440 --> 01:03:48.199
to talk about. And but to have that passion, and

830
01:03:48.239 --> 01:03:52.679
he's so friendly to everyone generally. I mean he's a

831
01:03:52.719 --> 01:03:54.639
little bit grumpy at the moment, but hey, who could

832
01:03:54.639 --> 01:04:02.440
blame him, but generally is friendly. He his start in

833
01:04:02.480 --> 01:04:07.719
the conversation is if he meets someone, if he hears

834
01:04:07.760 --> 01:04:11.920
the accent, or he can kind of roughly tell where

835
01:04:11.960 --> 01:04:17.840
someone's from and he'll guess their football team that they support,

836
01:04:18.039 --> 01:04:19.719
or if you can't, he just say who's your favorite

837
01:04:19.719 --> 01:04:24.840
football team? That's his opener. Or if he's never met

838
01:04:24.880 --> 01:04:27.840
the person. Because he met the lady that lives downstairs

839
01:04:27.880 --> 01:04:29.880
for the first time and he said, do you like sport?

840
01:04:32.280 --> 01:04:34.599
And I was behind him shaking my head, say say no,

841
01:04:34.760 --> 01:04:38.320
say no no, but do you like sport? And that's

842
01:04:38.320 --> 01:04:44.239
his opener because that's his passion. It's not just an interest,

843
01:04:45.159 --> 01:04:51.400
it's his whole life. Really, sport is his whole life.

844
01:04:51.960 --> 01:04:58.880
And I have nothing but admiration for anyone that can

845
01:04:59.360 --> 01:05:03.559
live their life life doing what they love. And that's

846
01:05:03.559 --> 01:05:10.440
what he's done. He's lived his life every day. Okay,

847
01:05:10.559 --> 01:05:14.559
I'm exaggerating because I've not inside his head. I don't

848
01:05:14.599 --> 01:05:17.760
know how he feels every day, but it seems I

849
01:05:17.800 --> 01:05:20.840
get a sense that he wakes up when he goes

850
01:05:20.840 --> 01:05:23.000
to bed at night, he's looking forward to the next day,

851
01:05:24.159 --> 01:05:28.679
or he's looking forward to the next sporting event, which

852
01:05:28.719 --> 01:05:31.400
is usually because because he watched sports all over the world,

853
01:05:32.079 --> 01:05:36.280
whether it's because he cricket, you know, all year round,

854
01:05:36.679 --> 01:05:38.880
so there's always something that he's looking forward to watching,

855
01:05:41.159 --> 01:05:47.880
and he wakes up with something to look forward to.

856
01:05:52.480 --> 01:05:54.880
And I think you can't put well personally, I don't

857
01:05:54.880 --> 01:05:58.639
think you can put a price on that it's something

858
01:05:58.719 --> 01:06:06.400
that it's a gift. I mean, maybe, you know, some

859
01:06:07.159 --> 01:06:11.360
possibly would argue that it's to be obsessed with something

860
01:06:11.480 --> 01:06:17.960
isn't necessarily good, which I understand. If it's an obsession

861
01:06:18.079 --> 01:06:25.800
with something harmful that's going to harm the person, Yet

862
01:06:25.840 --> 01:06:28.400
that's not a good thing. If it's an obsession with

863
01:06:28.480 --> 01:06:33.159
another person who doesn't want you near them. You know,

864
01:06:33.320 --> 01:06:35.760
that's not intro that obviously, that could be very, very

865
01:06:36.599 --> 01:06:42.719
difficult too. But he's obsessed. He's not obsessed in He

866
01:06:42.760 --> 01:06:47.199
doesn't drink alcohol, doesn't do anything. Just he watches sport

867
01:06:47.639 --> 01:06:50.199
and he reads about sport, and he talks about sport.

868
01:06:50.880 --> 01:06:57.199
He loves it. And that's in a way, and I

869
01:06:57.239 --> 01:07:02.079
don't mean this in a bad way. When I started

870
01:07:02.079 --> 01:07:05.280
doing They Let Me boy to Sleep, Okay, right when

871
01:07:05.280 --> 01:07:07.719
I started doing They Let Me boyd to Sleep podcasts,

872
01:07:10.079 --> 01:07:12.480
I was thinking about two people that I've met in

873
01:07:12.519 --> 01:07:20.360
my life as an inspiration for doing this, Okay, one

874
01:07:21.280 --> 01:07:31.280
was him. It's not that he's boring, it's just I'll

875
01:07:31.320 --> 01:07:33.559
try I've tried to explain this quite a few times

876
01:07:33.559 --> 01:07:39.039
in the past. It for me, if you're not interested

877
01:07:39.079 --> 01:07:43.320
in a subject it is boring, doesn't mean the subject's boring.

878
01:07:43.719 --> 01:07:48.400
It's just from a personal perspective. You know, I've got

879
01:07:48.400 --> 01:07:55.239
no interest in trainspotting, for example, but I've got nothing

880
01:07:55.280 --> 01:08:02.599
but admiration for trainspots because they're happy, they're enjoying themselves,

881
01:08:03.239 --> 01:08:06.360
they're doing something that you know, I bet the ones

882
01:08:06.440 --> 01:08:09.159
that are maybe working all week that's what they're looking

883
01:08:09.199 --> 01:08:15.280
forward to doing at the weekend, having a great time

884
01:08:15.639 --> 01:08:20.079
because they're doing what they love doing. So whatever it is,

885
01:08:20.119 --> 01:08:26.079
whether it's martial arts, whether it's I don't know, being

886
01:08:26.079 --> 01:08:31.520
a leader in the Scouts, or writing, doing jigsaw puzzles,

887
01:08:32.319 --> 01:08:36.920
watching television, I don't think it matters fishing, whatever it is.

888
01:08:39.279 --> 01:08:43.159
If you absolutely love doing something and you get a

889
01:08:43.279 --> 01:08:47.279
chance to do it more often as often as you

890
01:08:47.520 --> 01:08:52.800
want to. In a way, that's kind of like a dream,

891
01:08:52.960 --> 01:09:01.800
you know, it's like a dream scenario. And it hasn't

892
01:09:01.920 --> 01:09:05.920
cost him much in a way of money. I mean,

893
01:09:05.960 --> 01:09:08.880
he's probably spent He spent a lot of money traveling

894
01:09:08.920 --> 01:09:12.319
around going to different sporting events when he was younger,

895
01:09:13.760 --> 01:09:16.760
but he hasn't done much traveling in the last five years.

896
01:09:17.439 --> 01:09:20.880
When I first met him, he was out and about

897
01:09:20.920 --> 01:09:25.600
all the time, you know, he was away going abroad

898
01:09:25.680 --> 01:09:30.000
to watch sporting events, going to football, coming back early

899
01:09:30.039 --> 01:09:34.960
hours of the morning. In two thousand, that kind of changed,

900
01:09:35.800 --> 01:09:40.119
so the last five years really slowed down. It might

901
01:09:40.159 --> 01:09:42.560
have just been a physical thing. He just maybe he

902
01:09:42.640 --> 01:09:48.000
struggled to get around as much, which I struggled a

903
01:09:48.000 --> 01:09:51.119
little bit, you know, with my back and that, and

904
01:09:51.840 --> 01:09:55.920
I'm just still a kid, really, and I compared to him,

905
01:09:55.720 --> 01:10:04.399
I'm still a baby. Okay. So what I did is

906
01:10:04.439 --> 01:10:08.600
I looked at that situation of someone talking about their

907
01:10:08.640 --> 01:10:17.159
particular interest to someone that has zero interest in that subject.

908
01:10:20.600 --> 01:10:24.359
So what I thought I'd do is that I'd kind

909
01:10:24.359 --> 01:10:31.640
of do that kind of podcast talking. But also it's

910
01:10:31.640 --> 01:10:33.840
a mixture of myself as well. Well. Obviously what I

911
01:10:33.840 --> 01:10:42.199
talk about is myself. I mean, probably sleepy boring objects

912
01:10:42.319 --> 01:10:47.359
was all the Monday's boring objects. That's kind of based

913
01:10:47.399 --> 01:10:51.279
on that. Really, he's talking about something that's going to

914
01:10:51.319 --> 01:10:54.720
be interesting to some people, boring to a lot of

915
01:10:54.720 --> 01:10:59.560
other people. And then I added myself to it in

916
01:10:59.600 --> 01:11:04.520
a sense of someone told me or you know, they

917
01:11:06.000 --> 01:11:09.560
message or left a comment on a YouTube video which

918
01:11:09.680 --> 01:11:12.399
was just Jason Chatz where I was talking about my

919
01:11:12.439 --> 01:11:15.359
life and they said, oh, I fall asleep every time

920
01:11:15.399 --> 01:11:22.239
you talk, even when you're not doing hypnosis. And I thought, oh, okay,

921
01:11:22.359 --> 01:11:29.079
it's interesting. And then I've got another friend who see,

922
01:11:29.119 --> 01:11:32.000
none of these people are boring, including myself, I hope,

923
01:11:32.399 --> 01:11:35.039
but none of the people are boring that I'm talking

924
01:11:35.039 --> 01:11:39.000
about these friends. But it's just if you talk at

925
01:11:39.119 --> 01:11:42.039
someone about a subject that they're not interested in, that

926
01:11:42.119 --> 01:11:46.560
person is going to glaze over. And I've seen people's

927
01:11:46.560 --> 01:11:52.720
eyes glaze over multiple times. I only started noticing it

928
01:11:52.760 --> 01:11:57.920
when I was in my late twenties, I suppose, once

929
01:11:57.960 --> 01:12:02.800
I started learning about hypnosis. So I started realizing that, Okay,

930
01:12:03.680 --> 01:12:08.680
I'm basically zoning people out when I'm talking to them.

931
01:12:09.039 --> 01:12:10.960
I didn't know that. I didn't know what I was doing,

932
01:12:13.039 --> 01:12:15.520
so I wasn't purposely doing it. Then I played around

933
01:12:15.520 --> 01:12:23.640
with it a bit. So the other person is somebody

934
01:12:23.800 --> 01:12:27.039
another like close friend that I've known a long time.

935
01:12:27.119 --> 01:12:31.000
I don't see anymore much, but still someone that's close

936
01:12:31.039 --> 01:12:39.319
to my heart. And this person would talk, but then

937
01:12:39.359 --> 01:12:43.520
they'd go off and they talk about something else. Then

938
01:12:43.560 --> 01:12:49.039
they talk about something, so they talk about Bob, and

939
01:12:49.079 --> 01:12:54.520
then they talk about Then they'll be talking about Steve,

940
01:12:54.640 --> 01:12:58.119
who was Bob's friend, and then then they're zone in

941
01:12:58.159 --> 01:13:02.319
on Steve. Then they talk about Steve's sister, who went

942
01:13:02.359 --> 01:13:07.760
to college with Adrian, who was in a rock band,

943
01:13:09.239 --> 01:13:17.840
and that rock band was also Oliver Pete and Roger

944
01:13:18.960 --> 01:13:22.520
now Pete. He used to like to He used to

945
01:13:22.560 --> 01:13:28.000
work in like a florist and his favorite music was

946
01:13:28.039 --> 01:13:31.319
Elton John and he saw el and John in concert

947
01:13:32.399 --> 01:13:36.600
and he met this He met his girlfriend at that concert,

948
01:13:37.079 --> 01:13:41.039
Ellen John's concert, and they had a baby, and that

949
01:13:41.159 --> 01:13:47.159
baby grew up to be you know what I mean.

950
01:13:47.199 --> 01:13:49.319
It's like just go on and on and on and on,

951
01:13:49.720 --> 01:13:53.960
and you can't follow it. It's almost impossible to follow.

952
01:13:55.800 --> 01:14:04.920
And within that it'll talk about music, songs, movies, and

953
01:14:05.199 --> 01:14:12.840
just like I can't follow this. And he was the

954
01:14:12.960 --> 01:14:15.560
expert at that, but he didn't mean to do it.

955
01:14:17.479 --> 01:14:21.319
He just did it. He just followed his thought pattern

956
01:14:21.600 --> 01:14:24.720
and it was hard to follow. And I'd like to

957
01:14:25.000 --> 01:14:30.800
bring it back, bring it back, because I genuinely can't

958
01:14:30.840 --> 01:14:34.720
do that. If I'm with someone, you know, I like

959
01:14:34.840 --> 01:14:38.279
the conversation be focused. If I'm in a room with

960
01:14:38.319 --> 01:14:40.640
someone in it's that one, you know, it's a give

961
01:14:40.720 --> 01:14:44.000
and take conversation, which is what conversations kind of supposed

962
01:14:44.039 --> 01:14:47.159
to be, isn't it not talking at them like I

963
01:14:47.199 --> 01:14:54.039
am here? Then I really needed to be focused and

964
01:14:54.119 --> 01:14:58.920
to stick to the point, which is weird considering I

965
01:14:58.920 --> 01:15:03.359
don't stick to the point necessarily when I'm making recording,

966
01:15:06.119 --> 01:15:08.439
but when I talk into a microphone. I didn't realize

967
01:15:08.479 --> 01:15:13.279
I did it until probably you know, much later on

968
01:15:15.319 --> 01:15:20.640
that once I just go into I don't know if

969
01:15:20.640 --> 01:15:24.279
you wanna call it a stream of consciousness, just talk

970
01:15:24.840 --> 01:15:27.039
talk just I guess just talking out loud, isn't it.

971
01:15:27.079 --> 01:15:31.760
That's all it is, talking out loud, just my internal

972
01:15:31.800 --> 01:15:40.159
dialogue being external, I suppose. And I kind of mixed

973
01:15:40.159 --> 01:15:42.199
it up a bit when I first started, I was

974
01:15:42.239 --> 01:15:49.079
trying to get a have relaxation and include hypnosis and

975
01:15:49.119 --> 01:15:56.880
then talking perfect yuh on purpose, really slowly. But then

976
01:15:57.079 --> 01:16:01.479
it felt false to me. This is right. At the beginning,

977
01:16:01.479 --> 01:16:09.840
it didn't feel quite myself. And now I just am me.

978
01:16:10.319 --> 01:16:13.159
This is me whatever, this is, This is me now.

979
01:16:13.720 --> 01:16:16.319
It might not be me tomorrow, but this is me now.

980
01:16:17.399 --> 01:16:20.079
This is the speed I'm talking out. I'm not controlling

981
01:16:20.159 --> 01:16:26.520
the speed. I'm not controlling the speed. I'm not controlling

982
01:16:26.880 --> 01:16:32.800
any aspect of how I talk. This is me talking normally.

983
01:16:32.880 --> 01:16:35.720
This is how I talk. If I'm not if there's

984
01:16:35.760 --> 01:16:39.359
no if there's no one else around, if there's other

985
01:16:39.439 --> 01:16:42.439
people around, I would probably talk a bit quicker. Maybe

986
01:16:43.880 --> 01:16:52.399
I just whistled, ending I would say quicker, quicker, And

987
01:16:52.640 --> 01:16:58.600
I don't purposefully go into a sort of a weird tangent.

988
01:16:58.680 --> 01:17:02.520
It just happens naturally, you know. So nothing is planned,

989
01:17:02.640 --> 01:17:06.039
Nothing I say is planned in these recordings other than

990
01:17:06.119 --> 01:17:09.720
answering questions, which I'm supposed to be doing today with

991
01:17:09.840 --> 01:17:17.079
the Q and a Friday. So Michelle, Uncle Sausages doesn't

992
01:17:17.119 --> 01:17:22.159
have any family. But I feel like I've expanded a

993
01:17:22.159 --> 01:17:25.319
bit more on that because pretty much that's all I

994
01:17:25.359 --> 01:17:28.560
talked about, isn't it today? So far? Can you hear

995
01:17:28.600 --> 01:17:35.680
that there's a helicopter? It sounds like more than one helicopter.

996
01:17:38.119 --> 01:17:45.000
Ng says. In one episode you talked about the biscuits,

997
01:17:45.359 --> 01:17:50.239
the biscuit habits in England. I thought that it was

998
01:17:50.479 --> 01:17:56.079
very funny. Thank you. Oh that's a stupid plain man.

999
01:18:00.520 --> 01:18:02.800
It's the same one that used to they go over

1000
01:18:02.840 --> 01:18:07.800
this just over where I am. I like, dip down

1001
01:18:07.840 --> 01:18:17.039
and then swerve right over my flat. Do the English

1002
01:18:17.119 --> 01:18:20.000
have any other quirks? I hope the word quirks doesn't

1003
01:18:20.039 --> 01:18:29.000
have a negative connotation. No quirks is fine, It's yeah,

1004
01:18:29.239 --> 01:18:32.399
No quirks is fine. I'm trying to think talking about

1005
01:18:32.399 --> 01:18:38.319
the weather. That's a very English thing. It's probably the

1006
01:18:38.319 --> 01:18:42.520
most English thing there is talking about the weather and

1007
01:18:42.640 --> 01:18:48.399
moaning about the weather. Another thing is blaming everything on politicians.

1008
01:18:49.199 --> 01:18:53.359
But I think that's possibly a universal worldwide thing. Possibly.

1009
01:18:53.520 --> 01:19:03.159
I don't know, Uncle sausages everything it's Starmer's fault. I

1010
01:19:03.199 --> 01:19:05.119
think at some point he even blamed his illness on

1011
01:19:05.199 --> 01:19:09.840
Starma's like, you can't blame him for everything. Oh, Stalmas

1012
01:19:09.880 --> 01:19:16.840
the current president of England or whatever it is. So

1013
01:19:19.279 --> 01:19:22.800
but she's a nice lady. Though she's a nice Starmer.

1014
01:19:23.119 --> 01:19:30.600
It's very nice. Shakira, Shakira Starmer. I hope the weather.

1015
01:19:31.000 --> 01:19:35.760
I would guess the weather is really the thing moaning

1016
01:19:37.439 --> 01:19:43.399
negativity as well, but not necessarily meaning to be negative.

1017
01:19:44.479 --> 01:19:46.760
So let's say one person. You might go up to

1018
01:19:46.800 --> 01:19:54.079
someone and so, how you doing? Not too bad? The

1019
01:19:54.319 --> 01:19:56.800
that's kind of an answer. It's just a negative answer,

1020
01:19:57.319 --> 01:20:01.760
but it's not kind of in a negative way. They

1021
01:20:01.840 --> 01:20:03.399
might be having a really good day, so I'm not

1022
01:20:03.439 --> 01:20:11.399
too bad. It could be worse, could be dead. That

1023
01:20:11.520 --> 01:20:15.560
is honestly, it's like it is quite negative, but it

1024
01:20:15.640 --> 01:20:23.520
almost doesn't feel negative. For example, you might get it

1025
01:20:23.520 --> 01:20:26.119
a little bit more nowadays, but if you go into

1026
01:20:26.119 --> 01:20:30.720
a shop here until recently, you would not hear the

1027
01:20:30.760 --> 01:20:35.960
words have a nice day. That was an alien phrase

1028
01:20:37.000 --> 01:20:43.840
in England. I've noticed it a little bit more, maybe

1029
01:20:43.880 --> 01:20:53.640
have a good day. But it's because it's false. If

1030
01:20:53.680 --> 01:20:58.319
it's in this country, it's false because English people generally don't.

1031
01:20:58.920 --> 01:21:02.039
Maybe the younger general do, but just my generation or whatever,

1032
01:21:02.640 --> 01:21:08.319
we don't say have a great day. It's but I've

1033
01:21:08.359 --> 01:21:11.479
noticed some younger people do seem to say it, and

1034
01:21:12.520 --> 01:21:15.319
it it's a little bit of a jolt for me

1035
01:21:15.359 --> 01:21:20.000
because I'm not used to it because I never My

1036
01:21:20.079 --> 01:21:23.840
dad's generation didn't say it. My generation didn't say it,

1037
01:21:23.920 --> 01:21:26.880
my granddad's generation didn't say it, and I think the

1038
01:21:26.920 --> 01:21:29.600
generation after me didn't say it. But now maybe the

1039
01:21:29.640 --> 01:21:33.920
younger ones. I guess my grandchildren's generation if I had grandchildren,

1040
01:21:35.239 --> 01:21:40.319
and perhaps, But then sometimes it sounds a bit threatening,

1041
01:21:40.680 --> 01:21:45.000
like yeah, you have a good day, Like really, it

1042
01:21:45.000 --> 01:21:47.399
didn't sound like you want me to have a good day. Yeah,

1043
01:21:47.439 --> 01:21:49.960
you take care of it, you look after yourself. Yeah

1044
01:21:50.760 --> 01:21:56.199
that sounds threatening, So yeah, I don't. I don't. That's

1045
01:21:56.279 --> 01:22:00.760
not how I was. It's not the England that I

1046
01:22:00.880 --> 01:22:06.439
kind of really grew up in. It was negative, but

1047
01:22:06.680 --> 01:22:12.960
not really negative. It just I don't know how to

1048
01:22:13.000 --> 01:22:20.039
explain it, and it just passed down, wasn't it just

1049
01:22:20.079 --> 01:22:23.920
passed down people? I think it's quite natural for people

1050
01:22:24.039 --> 01:22:27.239
just to talk, have expressions, and they don't question anything.

1051
01:22:27.479 --> 01:22:30.279
They just say what they were taught to say, say

1052
01:22:30.319 --> 01:22:33.600
what their parents said, use the same expressions as their friends,

1053
01:22:34.119 --> 01:22:39.199
and then just go through life doing that. But other

1054
01:22:39.279 --> 01:22:43.720
people might question, like, why am I saying this? I

1055
01:22:43.800 --> 01:22:47.600
started doing that probably in my late twenties. I stopped

1056
01:22:47.600 --> 01:22:54.000
saying not too bad, so I thought, this is really negative.

1057
01:22:54.119 --> 01:22:57.359
This is this I started to notice. I noticed. I

1058
01:22:57.399 --> 01:23:00.039
noticed when I was a teenager, but I became a

1059
01:23:00.199 --> 01:23:05.680
bit more aware of it. And there's other things that

1060
01:23:05.720 --> 01:23:09.560
are some statements like oh, no good deed goes unpunished,

1061
01:23:10.439 --> 01:23:13.399
or that's in the same category as there's no smoke

1062
01:23:13.479 --> 01:23:19.159
about fire. Just stupid stupid sentences like that. It doesn't

1063
01:23:19.199 --> 01:23:22.640
mean the person is who uses those sentences are stupid,

1064
01:23:22.680 --> 01:23:29.119
but they're not useful. It's not useful stuff to be saying,

1065
01:23:31.199 --> 01:23:33.760
no good deed goes unpunished. Okay, so don't do anything

1066
01:23:33.800 --> 01:23:37.920
nice for anyone. Yeah, no smoke about fire, So everybody

1067
01:23:38.000 --> 01:23:40.479
is guilty because use that's what it's usually used for.

1068
01:23:40.680 --> 01:23:42.880
Isn't it someone's been accused of something that they must

1069
01:23:42.920 --> 01:23:46.359
be guilty. Okay, we'll just get rid of the courts.

1070
01:23:46.720 --> 01:23:52.800
Bring back the fire in squads. Baby, No, So what's

1071
01:23:52.840 --> 01:23:57.840
the other one? Plan for the plan for the best?

1072
01:23:58.159 --> 01:24:01.479
But it's I know, hope for the best, but plan

1073
01:24:01.640 --> 01:24:08.560
for the worst. Really no. Yeah, so I don't really

1074
01:24:08.680 --> 01:24:12.520
sign up for some of those old sayings that some

1075
01:24:12.560 --> 01:24:17.319
people still hold on to because it's a negative country.

1076
01:24:18.520 --> 01:24:22.520
And maybe it's because it's such a gray country. Not

1077
01:24:22.560 --> 01:24:26.159
the whole of the country, but there's times of the

1078
01:24:26.239 --> 01:24:29.640
year when it's just very gray because we don't get

1079
01:24:29.760 --> 01:24:33.079
huge amount of sunshine. Even though it's we're having a

1080
01:24:33.159 --> 01:24:37.239
nice bit of sunshine now, there's large parts of the

1081
01:24:37.279 --> 01:24:42.720
year where because we have seasons here and only one

1082
01:24:42.840 --> 01:24:47.359
season is really well springs not too bad. Actually not

1083
01:24:47.439 --> 01:24:51.239
too bad. That's another expression, not too bad? How are

1084
01:24:51.279 --> 01:24:57.680
you not too bad? Still alive? My dad says that

1085
01:24:58.680 --> 01:25:01.039
I phone him up at this so right, Daddy said, yeah,

1086
01:25:01.079 --> 01:25:06.399
still above ground, Still above ground, like not something you

1087
01:25:06.399 --> 01:25:08.199
want to hear. That he's in the middle of having

1088
01:25:09.840 --> 01:25:13.079
serious medical treatment at the moment, four weeks of it

1089
01:25:13.399 --> 01:25:15.560
that I know it's his humor and stuff. But it's

1090
01:25:15.560 --> 01:25:19.920
like his wife said to him, stop saying it daddy

1091
01:25:21.239 --> 01:25:24.279
because it's weird. Wonder why she calls him daddy. That's strange.

1092
01:25:24.319 --> 01:25:31.399
And Jason's daddy she calls him. M hmm. I actually

1093
01:25:31.399 --> 01:25:34.439
send him when I send him Christmas cards or Birthday cards,

1094
01:25:34.920 --> 01:25:36.520
I just put his address on it and at the

1095
01:25:36.520 --> 01:25:47.560
top of us is dad, Dad, Daddy. That's his name, Daddy, Dad, Daddy.

1096
01:25:48.479 --> 01:26:00.279
Trying to think of any other weird stuff in the country. Uh, yeah,

1097
01:26:00.359 --> 01:26:04.720
nobody likes rain, even though technically it's one of the

1098
01:26:04.720 --> 01:26:09.960
most important weathers that we have, especially for the agri culture,

1099
01:26:11.600 --> 01:26:16.159
you know, all the food and stuff. But yeah, it's

1100
01:26:16.199 --> 01:26:26.840
a universal dislike for rain. But then another thing is

1101
01:26:26.920 --> 01:26:29.840
sort of starting to think of like, oh, it'll soon

1102
01:26:29.880 --> 01:26:34.159
be Christmas. You'll hear that in like February will soon

1103
01:26:34.199 --> 01:26:38.119
be Christmas. Or if it's a really nice day, as

1104
01:26:38.600 --> 01:26:42.199
it's soon be winter. It's almost like by cheering them

1105
01:26:42.760 --> 01:26:46.159
being negative to cheer yourself up. It's a weird one,

1106
01:26:46.399 --> 01:26:49.439
like or you're enjoying yourself on the beach today. A

1107
01:26:49.520 --> 01:26:56.039
couple of months time, we freezing cold. It's I think

1108
01:26:56.039 --> 01:26:59.640
it's just a I think it's maybe just a humorous thing.

1109
01:27:00.720 --> 01:27:04.279
It's i'll tell you what, we are good at England,

1110
01:27:04.439 --> 01:27:06.800
and I don't know. Other countries might be just as

1111
01:27:06.800 --> 01:27:09.520
good at it, but I don't have anything to compare with.

1112
01:27:11.520 --> 01:27:15.279
But what I noticed that since I've lived here most

1113
01:27:15.399 --> 01:27:17.159
of my life. I lived in Islands for a little bit,

1114
01:27:17.199 --> 01:27:21.880
but I've lived here my whole life pretty much gallows

1115
01:27:22.039 --> 01:27:30.560
humor and it's just that kind of laughing in the fate. Well,

1116
01:27:30.960 --> 01:27:33.640
if you're not gallows humor is good, but if you don't,

1117
01:27:33.680 --> 01:27:38.880
then it's basically just it's called that because it's maybe

1118
01:27:38.960 --> 01:27:43.880
a very unpleasant experience or situation and managing to see

1119
01:27:44.159 --> 01:27:46.800
a joke in it, to make light of it, just

1120
01:27:46.840 --> 01:27:52.960
to make it more I don't know, palatable, I guess,

1121
01:27:53.279 --> 01:27:55.520
you know, just to make it a bit easier to

1122
01:27:55.960 --> 01:28:00.560
get through it. So I think gallow humors that the

1123
01:28:00.560 --> 01:28:08.359
English people tend to have inherited, being able to make

1124
01:28:08.399 --> 01:28:11.640
fun of situations and to say stuff that isn't true

1125
01:28:13.199 --> 01:28:18.560
but as a joke, you know. So like I was

1126
01:28:18.600 --> 01:28:23.319
talking to someone the other day and we were talking

1127
01:28:23.359 --> 01:28:32.159
about yeah it was it was in the lift, and

1128
01:28:32.199 --> 01:28:38.520
I was with this another neighbor, and this person was

1129
01:28:38.520 --> 01:28:43.279
talking about their father and how she'd go through this

1130
01:28:43.399 --> 01:28:48.119
big court case because her father had been mistreated in

1131
01:28:48.159 --> 01:28:52.399
this care home, which is sort of super serious and everything.

1132
01:28:54.359 --> 01:28:56.720
And as we came out, she said, oh, I have

1133
01:28:56.840 --> 01:29:00.359
to keep said, I have to remember that care home.

1134
01:29:00.720 --> 01:29:04.279
I thought, okay, you know, to make sure no one

1135
01:29:04.319 --> 01:29:07.199
goes there. She said, I try and send my mum there.

1136
01:29:09.119 --> 01:29:11.960
But she was just joking. It's just like because it

1137
01:29:12.039 --> 01:29:17.319
was such a serious, serious conversation and she was in

1138
01:29:17.439 --> 01:29:23.520
hospital herself. She was an oxygen so she really didn't

1139
01:29:23.600 --> 01:29:27.600
need a super serious conversation. And I've just been visiting

1140
01:29:28.079 --> 01:29:33.560
Uncle's sausages and I'd seen her as well. So it's

1141
01:29:33.600 --> 01:29:37.520
that kind of humor that's inappropriate, but at the same

1142
01:29:37.560 --> 01:29:46.880
time cuts through the tension and gives maybe a momentary release,

1143
01:29:49.920 --> 01:29:54.159
you know. And she wasn't making fun of the situation.

1144
01:29:54.319 --> 01:29:58.279
She wasn't making fun of that. She was just it

1145
01:29:58.399 --> 01:30:01.600
was a need to gallows human that's all it is.

1146
01:30:02.119 --> 01:30:04.399
I'm sure people that worked on the gallows and that's

1147
01:30:04.479 --> 01:30:07.520
people that used to You can look it up if

1148
01:30:07.520 --> 01:30:13.039
you don't know what gallows is. It's it's a way

1149
01:30:13.039 --> 01:30:17.800
of dealing with the emotions. Really, people deal with things differently,

1150
01:30:21.840 --> 01:30:23.560
And I said, I'll see if I can get Uncle

1151
01:30:23.640 --> 01:30:26.800
Sausages in there. I didn't, or maybe I did. Maybe

1152
01:30:28.199 --> 01:30:33.000
it's because some people get confused, and it's at all

1153
01:30:34.199 --> 01:30:36.439
the subject. You if you talk about subject, then you're

1154
01:30:36.439 --> 01:30:39.079
making in front of the subject. And it's not not

1155
01:30:39.159 --> 01:30:44.720
the case necessarily. It's just you're you're making a situation absurd,

1156
01:30:45.319 --> 01:30:50.600
something serious. Turn it into an absurd thing to make

1157
01:30:50.680 --> 01:30:55.840
it a bit more easier to digest. Perhaps, but hey,

1158
01:30:55.880 --> 01:31:00.920
I'm not here to It's not a tadleg BlimE. Me

1159
01:31:02.159 --> 01:31:07.239
dev asks me. Oh no, Tammy says, please send loves

1160
01:31:07.239 --> 01:31:11.079
and hugs to Uncle Sausages. Give Vinnie a belly rub

1161
01:31:11.119 --> 01:31:13.760
for me, and you're a big virtual hug for being

1162
01:31:13.800 --> 01:31:17.960
an awesome person at this moment I'm giving Vinnie he

1163
01:31:18.159 --> 01:31:20.560
likes I tell you what he does like to be rubbed.

1164
01:31:21.800 --> 01:31:24.039
I shouldn't leave a big pause, the readier there should

1165
01:31:24.039 --> 01:31:28.680
I He loves his chest being stroked. That's almost like

1166
01:31:28.720 --> 01:31:33.000
one of his favorite things. Ever. Honestly, I think he'd

1167
01:31:33.079 --> 01:31:38.039
lay there for hours just having his chest stroked. So yeah,

1168
01:31:38.079 --> 01:31:40.840
that's his favorite things. I'm doing that now, hey, vany

1169
01:31:41.359 --> 01:31:48.159
you only little chest stroked. Hey yeah, he likes that,

1170
01:31:48.720 --> 01:31:54.920
so thank you, Temmy. And I'm hoping Uncle Sausages is okay.

1171
01:31:54.960 --> 01:32:00.680
He's going to just yeah, I'll probably talked about him

1172
01:32:00.720 --> 01:32:04.760
too much, but it's what I tend to do. I

1173
01:32:04.840 --> 01:32:08.479
talk about what's going on in my life. Dev says

1174
01:32:08.680 --> 01:32:13.640
best wishes for Uncle Sausages. Just wondering have you tried

1175
01:32:14.560 --> 01:32:20.439
ready made Angel Delight dessert selling in Sainsbury's. I wish

1176
01:32:20.520 --> 01:32:22.359
I'd seen that before I did my order. I just

1177
01:32:22.399 --> 01:32:27.319
got a few groceries Angel Delight. I did not even

1178
01:32:27.359 --> 01:32:31.600
sold it anymore. I could do some. I tell you

1179
01:32:31.680 --> 01:32:35.359
what I used to like. The answer is no, but

1180
01:32:35.439 --> 01:32:41.079
I'm gonna. I'm definitely going to. Thanks Dev. I tell

1181
01:32:41.079 --> 01:32:44.600
you what I oh, what I want to do now

1182
01:32:44.840 --> 01:32:46.439
I can't do it. But what I want to do

1183
01:32:47.920 --> 01:32:52.600
is make myself a Knickerbocker Glory or some kind of

1184
01:32:52.680 --> 01:33:03.279
Sunday you know, so Angrey Delight, some ice cream, maybe

1185
01:33:03.359 --> 01:33:10.039
some sponges like those little sponge fingers, fruit so it

1186
01:33:10.039 --> 01:33:13.000
won't be a Knickerbocker Glorias in a big tall thing,

1187
01:33:13.079 --> 01:33:16.600
but maybe just in a bowl. Mix it together perhaps

1188
01:33:17.479 --> 01:33:27.760
and some like a Cabrire's flake. Yeah, I tell it's weird, right,

1189
01:33:29.279 --> 01:33:31.039
I don't know if you if you feel the same.

1190
01:33:32.840 --> 01:33:40.199
I like Cabrire's flakes, but there's something about Cabrire's flakes

1191
01:33:40.239 --> 01:33:45.760
when they're on an ice cream. See. I don't get

1192
01:33:45.800 --> 01:33:48.439
excited about Cabri's flake if I buy it in a shop.

1193
01:33:51.000 --> 01:33:53.439
But if I buy an ice cream, if I'm out

1194
01:33:53.479 --> 01:33:55.520
at the beach or you know, somewhere with I'm buying

1195
01:33:55.520 --> 01:34:03.319
an ice cream, that flake becomes the most amazing thing

1196
01:34:03.560 --> 01:34:06.479
in the world. And it's only half a flake. It's

1197
01:34:06.520 --> 01:34:11.520
not even a full flake, generally half of a I

1198
01:34:11.560 --> 01:34:20.760
think it becomes the pivotal focus of my life. It's

1199
01:34:20.880 --> 01:34:24.359
the most exciting thing that's ever happened to anyone ever.

1200
01:34:25.319 --> 01:34:28.039
That chocolate flake in the ice cream at the top,

1201
01:34:28.159 --> 01:34:32.399
sticking out the ice cream without the chocolate flake ashes

1202
01:34:32.520 --> 01:34:41.520
boring ice cream. With the chocolate flake. It is It's

1203
01:34:41.560 --> 01:34:48.760
the universe. It is just infinite happiness. It's weird, isn't it,

1204
01:34:48.920 --> 01:34:55.239
don't you think? Ah, I want an ice cream now

1205
01:34:55.279 --> 01:35:00.840
for some reason. This is bad, Okay, too bad. But

1206
01:35:02.760 --> 01:35:04.840
and I've been given permission. Okay, so it's not like

1207
01:35:04.920 --> 01:35:08.720
I'm doing anything wrong. But Uncle Sausages said that I

1208
01:35:08.760 --> 01:35:11.880
can just help myself to what's in this freezer. And

1209
01:35:11.960 --> 01:35:14.119
I looked in this freeze yesterday because I had to

1210
01:35:14.159 --> 01:35:16.479
go in there. I didn't have to go in a freezer,

1211
01:35:16.560 --> 01:35:18.439
but I had to go in there to sign a thing,

1212
01:35:19.359 --> 01:35:28.119
and he got some they're not Cornetto's, but they're Sainsbury's

1213
01:35:28.640 --> 01:35:37.800
versions of Cornetto's, and I think I might I'm thinking

1214
01:35:37.840 --> 01:35:41.640
of going and getting one, but he did say to me,

1215
01:35:41.720 --> 01:35:44.319
help yourself because he's not eating them. And I can't

1216
01:35:44.359 --> 01:35:47.640
take frozen stuff into the hospital because I've been melted.

1217
01:35:47.680 --> 01:35:49.880
By the time I get there, I'll just be a mush.

1218
01:35:50.479 --> 01:35:55.880
I'll just be a trail of ice cream dripping out

1219
01:35:55.920 --> 01:35:57.880
of my pocket. Because that's why I would put the

1220
01:35:57.920 --> 01:36:01.520
cornetto in my pocket. I probably wouldn't help to keep

1221
01:36:01.560 --> 01:36:10.600
it frozen with it. Ah, Vinnie's been a good boy today.

1222
01:36:11.279 --> 01:36:13.840
He said a little bit of a bark earlier, but

1223
01:36:14.279 --> 01:36:17.079
generally the rest of the day has been good, haven't you, Vinny,

1224
01:36:17.640 --> 01:36:20.520
You've been a good little boy. I'd tell you another

1225
01:36:20.560 --> 01:36:24.560
feel like, Oh, there was a thing when I was

1226
01:36:24.560 --> 01:36:31.119
a kid, there was this squirty stuff that you could

1227
01:36:31.159 --> 01:36:39.199
put on ice cream and it was chocolate or chocolate

1228
01:36:39.319 --> 01:36:46.680
with let's say mint flavored chocolate, and it would go hard. Yeah,

1229
01:36:46.720 --> 01:36:51.960
you just basically squirt it on the ice cream and

1230
01:36:52.039 --> 01:36:58.960
it would freeze quite quickly hard, so it'll be all

1231
01:36:59.000 --> 01:37:02.600
sloppy and then it'd be a crust. He'd have to

1232
01:37:02.640 --> 01:37:05.319
break through the chocolate to get to the ice cream.

1233
01:37:08.640 --> 01:37:12.760
I like that. I really really liked that so much.

1234
01:37:14.840 --> 01:37:20.079
But then other companies started producing it, maybe the supermarkets

1235
01:37:20.119 --> 01:37:23.560
made their own version, and it didn't work. It just

1236
01:37:23.760 --> 01:37:28.880
sort of just laid there like a puddle of poo.

1237
01:37:28.960 --> 01:37:31.640
I don't know, it just laid that. It wasn't a

1238
01:37:31.800 --> 01:37:36.880
nice it didn't get all hard, and you know, it's like,

1239
01:37:37.079 --> 01:37:41.760
what's the point but that, And I don't remember what

1240
01:37:41.800 --> 01:37:46.880
it's called. It had a specific name, and it was brilliant.

1241
01:37:46.880 --> 01:37:52.960
I can even slightly remember the packaging. It was so good.

1242
01:37:54.199 --> 01:37:55.920
But don't know what happened to it if it seemed

1243
01:37:56.039 --> 01:38:06.800
still around. Worse worst things happen at sea. That's another

1244
01:38:06.840 --> 01:38:08.000
thing I used to hear a lot when I was

1245
01:38:08.000 --> 01:38:11.439
a kid. So that's not that was just weird. Just

1246
01:38:11.479 --> 01:38:19.159
things like that. Another thing like that, there'd be like this,

1247
01:38:19.840 --> 01:38:23.399
These sayings that people would say to each other almost

1248
01:38:23.479 --> 01:38:25.399
like it was they said it for the first time

1249
01:38:25.800 --> 01:38:28.079
or heard it for the first time, but they probably

1250
01:38:28.079 --> 01:38:30.920
all both heard and said it hundreds of times before

1251
01:38:30.960 --> 01:38:33.840
in their life, yet found it hilarious to say it,

1252
01:38:34.039 --> 01:38:36.840
and they'd say it and then they'd laugh like ah,

1253
01:38:37.199 --> 01:38:42.800
maybe not like that. But one example, if someone said, oh,

1254
01:38:42.920 --> 01:38:46.720
ef in hell, you know, swearing, but like maybe they've

1255
01:38:46.880 --> 01:38:52.239
stubbed their toe or lost their car or whatever and

1256
01:38:53.359 --> 01:38:55.279
lost their family in a poker game out it's just

1257
01:38:55.279 --> 01:39:00.640
something minimal and it's oh, ef in hell, and someone

1258
01:39:00.800 --> 01:39:03.840
else that could heard and say that said, oh, I

1259
01:39:03.880 --> 01:39:14.880
hope so, because there's no TV there right right right, Okay.

1260
01:39:16.680 --> 01:39:21.119
I mean the first time it probably was absolutely hilarious,

1261
01:39:21.760 --> 01:39:26.520
but after five six hundred times of saying it, you

1262
01:39:26.560 --> 01:39:30.359
know what I mean in it? Hm? Hm, you get me.

1263
01:39:31.880 --> 01:39:34.640
I don't know. There was this I remember there. There's

1264
01:39:34.760 --> 01:39:38.680
bloke at work. I had this job in a factory

1265
01:39:39.399 --> 01:39:43.720
and for some reason he decided to attempt to pick

1266
01:39:43.760 --> 01:39:46.920
on me blessing. And I was a young bloke. I

1267
01:39:46.960 --> 01:39:51.199
was in my early twenties, what twenty one probably, and

1268
01:39:51.239 --> 01:39:53.319
he used to shout stuff out from the other side

1269
01:39:53.359 --> 01:39:55.920
of the room. It's a big old room, and he

1270
01:39:56.039 --> 01:40:00.640
decided to call me ugly, and it was an we're drunk.

1271
01:40:00.880 --> 01:40:06.199
He was, he was, he was drunk, and I kind

1272
01:40:06.239 --> 01:40:09.720
of put up with it for a little while, but

1273
01:40:09.760 --> 01:40:15.399
he kept shouting stuff out and then laughing hysterically. No

1274
01:40:15.560 --> 01:40:20.960
supervisor to say anything, and in the end I got

1275
01:40:20.960 --> 01:40:25.560
a little bit annoyed a little bit, so I turned

1276
01:40:25.600 --> 01:40:31.079
around and I started speaking, and everyone stopped working and watched.

1277
01:40:32.119 --> 01:40:33.840
There was only like six of us in there, so

1278
01:40:33.840 --> 01:40:37.479
it wasn't like there was all seven thousand people in

1279
01:40:37.560 --> 01:40:41.039
the stadium. No, it's just a few people. And I

1280
01:40:41.079 --> 01:40:48.119
shouted over to him. I said why, I said, do

1281
01:40:48.159 --> 01:40:52.159
you wanna okay, I used, I used nice words. Do

1282
01:40:52.199 --> 01:40:56.079
you want to sleep with me? Martin? That might be

1283
01:40:56.239 --> 01:40:58.479
his name, it was his name. Do you want to

1284
01:40:58.520 --> 01:41:01.840
sleep with me Martin? I said no. I said, well,

1285
01:41:01.840 --> 01:41:05.560
why do you care what I look like? And the

1286
01:41:05.600 --> 01:41:09.119
rest of the people in there clapped and cheered, carried

1287
01:41:09.119 --> 01:41:13.560
me on their shoulders. All around London, you know, there

1288
01:41:13.600 --> 01:41:16.720
was open top buses with people, fireworks going off. It

1289
01:41:16.800 --> 01:41:19.760
was brilliant. So I was quite pleased with that. At

1290
01:41:19.760 --> 01:41:23.640
the time, and after that he was nice to me.

1291
01:41:25.439 --> 01:41:28.520
Turned out he did want to sleep with me. Yeah,

1292
01:41:28.560 --> 01:41:30.760
we were together for about five years. It was lovely.

1293
01:41:32.239 --> 01:41:34.159
Oh it's a weird though, isn't it. So when you've

1294
01:41:34.199 --> 01:41:37.399
got a story like an origin story, you know, in

1295
01:41:37.399 --> 01:41:40.399
the beginning of a relationship, that was always a bit weird.

1296
01:41:41.079 --> 01:41:45.520
So how did you and Martin meet? You and Jason? Okay, Well,

1297
01:41:46.880 --> 01:41:51.000
Martin was being horrible to me. No, I never had

1298
01:41:51.000 --> 01:41:55.600
a relationship. I wonder how much stuff of what I

1299
01:41:55.640 --> 01:42:00.239
say people believe that the first bit was true, that

1300
01:42:00.520 --> 01:42:04.880
that story did happen, But he was did. He did

1301
01:42:04.880 --> 01:42:10.119
become kind of friends. Actually, I just don't. I think

1302
01:42:10.119 --> 01:42:13.720
he just couldn't control his mouth once you realize that

1303
01:42:13.840 --> 01:42:17.640
it's just not really because it's weird because someone he

1304
01:42:17.720 --> 01:42:21.520
was in his probably fifties, late forties, fifties, probably about

1305
01:42:21.520 --> 01:42:25.760
my age, and he was mouthing after people in their twenties.

1306
01:42:26.319 --> 01:42:30.239
It's never a good idea, you know. It's almost like

1307
01:42:30.399 --> 01:42:35.760
a ridiculous thing to do, because the odds are against you,

1308
01:42:35.960 --> 01:42:41.079
against a young person in their prime, against an old

1309
01:42:41.199 --> 01:42:46.720
fart like me, you know. So, yeah, it's a see

1310
01:42:46.920 --> 01:42:48.880
I'm aware of that, but he didn't seem to be

1311
01:42:48.920 --> 01:42:54.319
aware of it, because the you could defuse. It's quite

1312
01:42:54.359 --> 01:43:05.399
weird actually, because my job was wiping frozen meat, trying

1313
01:43:05.439 --> 01:43:07.560
to get the ice off so that the person next

1314
01:43:07.560 --> 01:43:09.439
to me, I put it on the scales. The person

1315
01:43:09.520 --> 01:43:12.399
next to me would then get the ticket the weight

1316
01:43:12.479 --> 01:43:14.000
of it. The ticket would come out of the machine

1317
01:43:14.079 --> 01:43:16.600
and they'd put the ticket onto the meat. My job

1318
01:43:16.680 --> 01:43:18.600
was to make that bit of an area so that

1319
01:43:18.680 --> 01:43:21.960
he could get the ticket on. So I'd be scraping

1320
01:43:22.039 --> 01:43:24.399
and it'd be hard work for me. Martin. He just

1321
01:43:24.439 --> 01:43:28.279
breathed on the meat and it just melted once. The

1322
01:43:28.319 --> 01:43:33.880
whole thing just melted and turned into a into a mush,

1323
01:43:34.239 --> 01:43:36.640
A whole leg of lamb just melted in front of him.

1324
01:43:36.840 --> 01:43:39.000
In fact, he cooked it. We had just had something

1325
01:43:39.079 --> 01:43:41.720
to eat. It was lovely. Just breathe on that, Martin.

1326
01:43:43.039 --> 01:43:48.600
I see, it was like a walking barbecue. Oh, anyway,

1327
01:43:48.640 --> 01:43:52.199
I'm going to go. So I talked enough about silly

1328
01:43:52.239 --> 01:43:56.359
things and serious things. I try. I don't want these

1329
01:43:56.399 --> 01:44:00.079
recordings to be serious. I genuinely don't. I try and

1330
01:44:00.159 --> 01:44:04.479
keep it as light as possible it is. I think

1331
01:44:04.479 --> 01:44:07.199
one of the problems is when I'm talking about my life.

1332
01:44:08.000 --> 01:44:11.680
This is the main thing that's going on in my

1333
01:44:11.800 --> 01:44:17.520
life at the moment, so therefore it's the thing that

1334
01:44:17.800 --> 01:44:20.560
I guess I'm going to be focusing on, you know

1335
01:44:20.560 --> 01:44:27.640
what I mean. So there we have it, or there

1336
01:44:27.680 --> 01:44:29.159
we have it. We have it, we have it, we

1337
01:44:29.239 --> 01:44:35.800
have it, So thank you for listening. Remember to be

1338
01:44:35.880 --> 01:44:39.359
kind to yourself because you do deserve to be happy

1339
01:44:40.399 --> 01:44:43.880
and be gentle with yourself. You deserve to feel safe.

1340
01:44:45.760 --> 01:44:49.159
Lots of love. Bye,
