Podcast Description:
In this Q&A Friday episode of Let Me Bore You to Sleep, Jason drifts between listener questions and candid reflections on life, memories, and the quiet moments that shape us. With Vinnie at his side, Jason shares heartfelt and often humorous stories about helping his late friend “Uncle Sausages,” the bittersweet process of sorting through a lifetime of belongings, and the curious way memories keep people alive in our minds. Along the way, he touches on music, nostalgia, and the value of letting go of what no longer serves us. As always, Jason’s gentle storytelling and meandering thoughts are here to soothe you into deep relaxation.

00:01:00.439 --> 00:01:05.120
two thousand and twenty five. Please only listen when you

00:01:05.159 --> 00:01:07.599
can safety close your eyes, if I have not already

9
00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:18.920
said that. Earlier on, I did do a recording five

10
00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:29.599
bromyalgia relief Hypnosis. So that's something I've done today this week.

11
00:01:29.719 --> 00:01:42.439
What have I done this week? M M So I've

12
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:46.280
done a Monday's Boring Objects. I did a whistle Monday,

13
00:01:46.359 --> 00:01:54.599
so one, two, three, four, five, six seven. So this

14
00:01:54.719 --> 00:01:59.640
will be my eighth record in this week. And I

15
00:01:59.719 --> 00:02:05.159
still got two more days left, two more days of

16
00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:20.840
the week. That is. I ordered a window cover to

17
00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:26.159
try and soundproof the window, and that should be getting

18
00:02:26.280 --> 00:02:32.639
delivered at some point today. Would would be interesting to

19
00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:36.879
see how that works out. It's all worth a try,

20
00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:46.319
isn't it it's worth a try. Yes, you know. So

21
00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:54.919
the last few days I've been trying to work, we're

22
00:02:54.960 --> 00:03:00.360
trying to trying to tidy up this place. I had

23
00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:02.800
a bit of a I don't know if it's an

24
00:03:02.919 --> 00:03:15.919
extrastential stench extra stench eel moment lately, but having been

25
00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:21.120
over the last few weeks, I've been going through Uncle's

26
00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:25.199
sausages stuff, partly because he asked me to. You know,

27
00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:29.479
I wasn't just having a little nose and he wanted

28
00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:31.879
me to find some things. And then when I told

29
00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:34.120
him about the magazines and there's a little bit of

30
00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:37.439
a mouse issue, he said, well, firstly, he didn't want

31
00:03:37.479 --> 00:03:39.800
to go back to the flat, and I said, what

32
00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:42.199
about your magazines? And he said, well clear it out.

33
00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:46.000
So he asked me to clear the clear his flat out,

34
00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:50.120
get rid of the rubbish. So I did that. I

35
00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:54.759
mean I did five bags to start with, and that

36
00:03:54.919 --> 00:03:57.960
was just stuff on the just stuff on the floor,

37
00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:01.520
biscuit wrappers and you stuff like that, which I'm not

38
00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:06.800
going to judge him because I'm similar myself. Sometimes I

39
00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:09.639
blame it on Vinnie, but it's not really all him.

40
00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:19.759
I mean, the bones that's Vinnie. And then I started

41
00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:22.439
going through his books and the you know, the books

42
00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:26.480
had to be chucked out, and his magazines, and I

43
00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:33.040
found photographs, and I started putting stuff away, just like

44
00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:38.319
that he might want to be kept, or maybe someone

45
00:04:38.399 --> 00:04:42.160
might want. You know, it's like the passport of his mum,

46
00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:47.040
his mum's old passport, and his mum's been she's been

47
00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:53.800
gone for a long time, yeah, decades. So it was

48
00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:59.360
kind of, I don't know, a bit weird. There's baby

49
00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:05.560
pictures of him. Well, I'm guessing they're him. I mean

50
00:05:06.040 --> 00:05:08.839
they're black and white pictures of a baby boy. I

51
00:05:08.879 --> 00:05:12.000
don't know if it's a boy, but a baby. Some

52
00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:14.319
kind of figuring it might be him. I mean, he didn't.

53
00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:19.879
It's hard to tell, to be honest with you, I

54
00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:22.800
just imagine it was. He had these. They're kind of

55
00:05:22.920 --> 00:05:26.639
hidden away in this container that you wouldn't even know

56
00:05:26.759 --> 00:05:30.160
anything was in it. And it was just a bunch

57
00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:33.959
of photographs and you know, that's personal stuff. But no

58
00:05:34.079 --> 00:05:38.959
one wants it. No one wants it, no one just

59
00:05:39.279 --> 00:05:46.800
there's without seeming harsh. I don't want it either. It's

60
00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:51.160
of no, I don't. I don't really collect stuff from

61
00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:55.839
my own life or my own family, never mind someone else's.

62
00:06:02.079 --> 00:06:06.319
But I thought there'd be someone that would because of

63
00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:10.639
you know, a part of me would like to think

64
00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:17.480
that maybe when my time's up, that somebody would want

65
00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:26.959
a keepsake of me. But I've come to realize that

66
00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:31.759
that's possibly not going to be the case. And I

67
00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:34.160
looked at all his books, all the things that he's

68
00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:41.839
collected over well, there it's a lifetime, I guess, all

69
00:06:41.959 --> 00:06:51.319
being chucked out. Everything nothing, nothing being kept. It's like

70
00:06:51.839 --> 00:06:56.279
all his belongings gone, every bit of clothing. Unfortunately, it

71
00:06:56.319 --> 00:06:59.959
can't be recycled as it were, can't be given to

72
00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:08.319
the second end shop. But everything that meant something to

73
00:07:08.439 --> 00:07:15.439
him material wise, it's gone. He's going to be chucked out.

74
00:07:16.120 --> 00:07:18.920
We're taken by the council. Now. A lot of it

75
00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:23.319
is because it's of the mice and it's unhealthy, you

76
00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:25.279
know what I mean. This stuff has to be backed up.

77
00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:30.279
I went in there with gloves on and just trying

78
00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:32.519
to kind of sort it out because the council asked

79
00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:35.040
me to do it. And then the council has said

80
00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:36.560
they didn't need me to do it. They were going

81
00:07:36.600 --> 00:07:38.519
to come and do it themselves, and they were going

82
00:07:38.600 --> 00:07:42.759
to come and get the mice people into sought out

83
00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:47.319
the vermin, and they came today because I've had a

84
00:07:47.399 --> 00:07:50.720
key to his flat, so they came in. They let

85
00:07:50.759 --> 00:07:52.399
them in, and they went and did what they needed

86
00:07:52.439 --> 00:07:54.319
to do, and then they're coming back in a week's

87
00:07:54.399 --> 00:07:59.519
time to sort of check out a situation. But he

88
00:07:59.639 --> 00:08:02.759
was taking photographs and he was looking and he said, well,

89
00:08:04.959 --> 00:08:09.240
it's pretty bad, but he did say he seemed worse.

90
00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:15.040
It's basically hoarders. It's a horder situation because people and

91
00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:19.600
I'm he was a hoarder. But at the same time,

92
00:08:23.639 --> 00:08:27.319
hoarder is just someone that's clicks things. You know, if

93
00:08:27.360 --> 00:08:30.839
you get into the big hoarder blah blah blah. You

94
00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:37.519
know those those TV programs always show the very very

95
00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:45.240
most extreme cases. Now, you know, where someone literally they've

96
00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:49.840
got everything stacked up nearly to the ceiling, and it's

97
00:08:49.919 --> 00:08:55.799
interesting to watch because it's almost unbelievable that anyone could

98
00:08:55.879 --> 00:09:04.720
live like that. I saw his flat one that was

99
00:09:04.799 --> 00:09:08.919
halfway through being emptied back before Christmas because he was

100
00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:14.200
a hoarder, and it was quite high, but it wasn't

101
00:09:14.240 --> 00:09:18.440
as high as a ceiling, but it was, you know,

102
00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:24.279
up to his knees maybe, yeah, yeah, up to his

103
00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:29.120
knees pretty much higher in some places you couldn't. I

104
00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:32.240
didn't even know he had a sofa until they had finished.

105
00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:35.080
I don't think he even knew he had a bed.

106
00:09:36.320 --> 00:09:38.240
I said, why do you sleep in your chair? He said,

107
00:09:38.240 --> 00:09:40.679
I don't know. I was meaning to get myself a bed,

108
00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:46.240
and then I made that bit up. Although he did

109
00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:50.919
sleep in the setting and on the sofa, there is

110
00:09:51.000 --> 00:09:57.080
a chair. Actually he didn't sleep in bed. But it's

111
00:09:57.159 --> 00:09:59.480
just someone that gets out of hand, that's all it

112
00:09:59.639 --> 00:10:09.519
is with I think with the collecting, and I can't

113
00:10:09.559 --> 00:10:11.960
of see he didn't like having someone coming in and

114
00:10:12.039 --> 00:10:14.960
taking his stuff, but he didn't have any choice. The

115
00:10:15.039 --> 00:10:18.120
counsel came in and basically told him they had to

116
00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:20.759
sort it out because of being a health hazard, of

117
00:10:20.919 --> 00:10:24.000
fire hazard and all that stuff. And this is you

118
00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:30.720
know about November time. But it was very distressing for

119
00:10:30.799 --> 00:10:35.039
him because he didn't have enough time to sort through

120
00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:38.200
his own stuff to choose what he wanted to keep.

121
00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:42.360
So what he did is he made sure that they

122
00:10:42.360 --> 00:10:44.720
didn't go into any of his drawers or any of

123
00:10:44.799 --> 00:10:51.039
his cupboards, which are also full of stuff. I found

124
00:10:51.120 --> 00:10:59.480
newspapers from nineteen ninety nine. I helped him move all

125
00:10:59.519 --> 00:11:02.600
the stuff had the kitchen just before he's this is

126
00:11:04.399 --> 00:11:07.320
I think it's the start of the year he had

127
00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:09.480
a new kitchen put in. It might have been the

128
00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:12.440
end of last year. I lose track of time, but

129
00:11:12.559 --> 00:11:14.639
he had a new kitchen put in. So the week

130
00:11:14.919 --> 00:11:18.879
and before they came to do the kitchen, I helped

131
00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:22.919
him to move everything out of the kitchen into his bedroom.

132
00:11:24.879 --> 00:11:27.480
And we were going through the drawers and I couldn't

133
00:11:27.519 --> 00:11:32.360
believe stuff we were finding. Therese carrier bags that had

134
00:11:32.399 --> 00:11:39.440
been in there so long they're disintegrated, and it was

135
00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:42.759
kind of there was one that was so bad as

136
00:11:42.840 --> 00:11:45.840
like I said to m Uncle sausages, You're going to

137
00:11:45.879 --> 00:11:47.840
have to deal with this. This I'm not. I'm not

138
00:11:47.960 --> 00:11:54.879
touching that draw You can deal without yourself. But you know,

139
00:11:55.080 --> 00:11:56.399
to try and help him out a little bit if

140
00:11:56.440 --> 00:12:02.600
I could. But the people from the council when they

141
00:12:02.679 --> 00:12:06.039
did what was the subcontracted when they did it, they

142
00:12:06.120 --> 00:12:09.840
didn't no surfaces were cleared from the looks of it,

143
00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:15.399
you know, nothing was no cupboards were looked in all

144
00:12:15.480 --> 00:12:22.799
the stuff where I don't know. Basically, I think he

145
00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:27.279
needed to have been put into a hotel or go

146
00:12:27.440 --> 00:12:31.120
and stay somewhere for a week while the whole place

147
00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:36.000
was just emptied and bearing in mind his age, and

148
00:12:36.080 --> 00:12:39.679
he wasn't really so much able to look after himself.

149
00:12:40.120 --> 00:12:44.600
It was independent, but there were certain aspects that he

150
00:12:45.399 --> 00:12:51.600
wasn't doing great with maybe doing really well compared to

151
00:12:51.639 --> 00:12:55.080
a lot of people his age, but he wasn't. He wasn't.

152
00:12:55.440 --> 00:12:58.039
He needed help, but he didn't ask for any help

153
00:12:58.600 --> 00:13:04.440
other than from me, And most of that was just

154
00:13:04.679 --> 00:13:08.279
helping with bills and talking to people on the phone

155
00:13:08.360 --> 00:13:12.000
and getting his front door sorted out, and helping get

156
00:13:12.080 --> 00:13:14.840
his kitchen cleared and help him with bits and bobs

157
00:13:14.919 --> 00:13:19.159
like that and ordering stuff online, you know, things that

158
00:13:19.559 --> 00:13:29.039
he sort of didn't enjoy doing, but he it's just

159
00:13:29.159 --> 00:13:34.559
really weird. I went in there again today and showed

160
00:13:34.799 --> 00:13:42.360
the the mice men around and I said, I know

161
00:13:42.480 --> 00:13:45.000
it's really it's a bit grotty in these two rooms,

162
00:13:45.480 --> 00:13:49.600
but look, the kitchen in the bathroom are fine. The kitchens.

163
00:13:52.480 --> 00:13:55.000
I said, I think there's like rat droppings in the

164
00:13:55.120 --> 00:13:57.360
kitchen and he said, no, it's not rat droppings. They're

165
00:13:57.399 --> 00:14:01.360
like these beetle shellfings like rat droppings, but they're not.

166
00:14:02.559 --> 00:14:11.639
And the bathroom perfect Uncle sausages't hadn't even seen the

167
00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:14.840
finished article of his bathroom because it was in the

168
00:14:14.919 --> 00:14:19.240
process of being rebuilt, refurbished or whatever while he was.

169
00:14:19.960 --> 00:14:22.480
He was still there when they started it, so they

170
00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:24.679
were there for the first week. He was there for

171
00:14:24.759 --> 00:14:27.720
the first week of them doing it from Tuesday to Friday,

172
00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:32.919
and on Friday night he went in Tosspital. So they

173
00:14:33.080 --> 00:14:36.919
hadn't I don't think they put the bath in yet.

174
00:14:37.080 --> 00:14:40.480
They hadn't put in and put the toilet in, but

175
00:14:40.559 --> 00:14:48.200
they hadn't put in. I can't remember. I'm pretty sure

176
00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:51.759
they asked me even what kind of tiles did he want?

177
00:14:52.600 --> 00:14:56.440
And I just said they were asking me, like, I

178
00:14:56.519 --> 00:15:01.000
don't know, but the because i' let them in every day,

179
00:15:01.759 --> 00:15:03.960
So you know, there was like the plumber, then there

180
00:15:04.080 --> 00:15:07.159
was the electrician, then there was the plaster, then there

181
00:15:07.279 --> 00:15:11.200
was the painter, and all the different kind of trades

182
00:15:11.320 --> 00:15:18.720
people that came in. And he never got to see it.

183
00:15:18.840 --> 00:15:25.080
He never got to see the end result. And he's down,

184
00:15:25.240 --> 00:15:29.799
he's waiting, well, he was waiting later in the year,

185
00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:32.799
I don't know when, but this year, sometime in the

186
00:15:32.919 --> 00:15:36.559
next few months he's going to have all new windows

187
00:15:36.600 --> 00:15:43.799
in there as well, so practically a whole new flat

188
00:15:44.600 --> 00:15:49.399
other than the living room and the bedroom, although that

189
00:15:49.440 --> 00:15:54.120
will now be all cleared out. And I mean they

190
00:15:54.200 --> 00:16:00.960
don't the council don't refurbish the flat when you don't

191
00:16:01.039 --> 00:16:05.799
like the living room in the bedroom. They they'll strip

192
00:16:05.879 --> 00:16:09.799
the place, get everything out of there in this kind

193
00:16:09.840 --> 00:16:13.279
of situation. They did the same with my friend Luke downstairs,

194
00:16:13.399 --> 00:16:16.720
and Trina who also lived downstairs, did the same there

195
00:16:16.759 --> 00:16:19.480
as well, who she passed away as well. So this

196
00:16:19.639 --> 00:16:23.240
is a third third person who I've lived in this

197
00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:27.519
block with that's passed away in the last five years.

198
00:16:28.039 --> 00:16:36.679
It's crazy, really. Yeah, Trina was the first first, Yeah,

199
00:16:36.720 --> 00:16:42.279
it was beginning of twenty twenty and Luke ended twenty

200
00:16:42.440 --> 00:16:55.799
twenty three November, and now Uncle Sausages. It's kind of weird.

201
00:16:55.960 --> 00:16:58.559
It's just just weird. But anyway, I don't want to

202
00:16:58.639 --> 00:17:06.039
keep talking about that. But lthough, I am I'm starting

203
00:17:06.119 --> 00:17:08.480
to wonder though this is. I know this isn't really

204
00:17:08.519 --> 00:17:11.000
anything to do with Q and A Friday, but you know,

205
00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:17.240
this to let me boy to sleep is it's kind

206
00:17:17.240 --> 00:17:21.920
of like a I don't know, like a journal or

207
00:17:22.039 --> 00:17:27.720
a diary, a verbal you know, vlog, blog, whatever you

208
00:17:27.799 --> 00:17:33.160
want to call it. And so I do talk about

209
00:17:33.240 --> 00:17:35.240
my life. I talk about what's gone on and how

210
00:17:35.279 --> 00:17:39.559
I'm feeling. I try to keep it light, and you know,

211
00:17:39.720 --> 00:17:44.200
I don't talk about things like this when it's not happening.

212
00:17:45.480 --> 00:17:49.559
You know, it's like like I'm constantly talking about bereavement

213
00:17:49.759 --> 00:17:52.640
and things like that because I'm not. I don't. If

214
00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:55.359
you listen regularly, you know that I do try and

215
00:17:55.480 --> 00:17:58.519
keep it quite light. And I'm trying to keep this

216
00:17:58.680 --> 00:18:02.160
light as well. It's just a little bit hard because

217
00:18:03.000 --> 00:18:08.839
there's also the reality, or at least my reality, of

218
00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:18.839
the situation. And it just seems like he's if I

219
00:18:18.880 --> 00:18:25.079
don't talk about him, he's forgotten. Now it's not going

220
00:18:25.160 --> 00:18:27.960
to be forgotten or remembered by anyone listening, because no

221
00:18:28.039 --> 00:18:30.599
one listening knows him, you know, in a sense of

222
00:18:30.640 --> 00:18:34.440
I don't know, just like Luke or anyone else sort

223
00:18:34.480 --> 00:18:36.319
of in my life. You don't know these people, but

224
00:18:38.160 --> 00:18:42.480
it kind of keeps I feel like it keeps them alive,

225
00:18:43.200 --> 00:18:46.960
keeps as long as the memory is alive, it keeps

226
00:18:47.079 --> 00:18:53.000
them alive, like you know, really famous people that live on,

227
00:18:55.079 --> 00:19:12.000
like Charles Dickens or Elvis Presley or you know famous musicians, composers, authors, actors,

228
00:19:13.680 --> 00:19:17.920
people like that that are kind of just gonna I mean,

229
00:19:17.920 --> 00:19:22.079
it doesn't seem like Elvis Presley is ever gonna be forgotten.

230
00:19:24.359 --> 00:19:27.519
I know there's millions and millions, maybe billions of people

231
00:19:27.599 --> 00:19:29.400
on the planet that have got no idea who he

232
00:19:29.559 --> 00:19:37.400
is or who he was. But every generation is going

233
00:19:37.480 --> 00:19:42.559
to find a new group of people that will fall

234
00:19:42.640 --> 00:19:47.160
in love with Elvis Prosley and his songs, and that

235
00:19:47.319 --> 00:19:50.279
might be I mean, for me, the reason I love

236
00:19:50.400 --> 00:19:55.480
Elvis is because my oldest brother, who was obsessed with Elvis.

237
00:19:56.799 --> 00:20:00.440
So I spent years of my childhood listening to Elvis

238
00:20:00.519 --> 00:20:03.480
songs because my brother would play them and he was

239
00:20:03.519 --> 00:20:06.759
in charge. He was the oldest brother. If he decided

240
00:20:06.799 --> 00:20:08.839
we were listening to Elvis songs, that's what we were

241
00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:17.039
listening to. So I loved Elvis, and my dad loved

242
00:20:17.039 --> 00:20:22.319
the Beatles, so I kind of he didn't talk about

243
00:20:22.359 --> 00:20:26.359
the Beatles, but he played the Beatles songs a lot,

244
00:20:26.960 --> 00:20:29.039
like you know, when we was in the car and stuff.

245
00:20:29.839 --> 00:20:33.440
So I grew up even though I was the Beatles

246
00:20:33.720 --> 00:20:38.000
was well and truly over long before I was like,

247
00:20:38.920 --> 00:20:41.640
could know who they were and where they split out

248
00:20:41.640 --> 00:20:47.240
before I was born. I do remember hearing about John

249
00:20:47.319 --> 00:20:51.160
Lennon and I was in and that was big news.

250
00:20:52.839 --> 00:20:58.240
Bearing in mind I was was it in nineteen eighty two,

251
00:21:00.759 --> 00:21:02.960
eighty two something like that? I was like, I'm sure,

252
00:21:02.960 --> 00:21:05.079
I was at high school and I was in the

253
00:21:05.559 --> 00:21:09.240
getting changed in the changing room at sports. We were

254
00:21:09.319 --> 00:21:12.119
doing you know, sports whatever football or whatever it was,

255
00:21:13.160 --> 00:21:17.799
and some came in and shouted about John Lennon. Like,

256
00:21:19.839 --> 00:21:25.279
so I knew who he was. Absolutely loved John Lennon's

257
00:21:28.440 --> 00:21:31.799
solo songs that were kind of I suppose they were

258
00:21:31.920 --> 00:21:35.680
late seventies, but they became really popular in the early eighties,

259
00:21:37.640 --> 00:21:39.079
or they might have been in the early eighties. I

260
00:21:39.160 --> 00:21:44.880
don't know. I'm pretty sure imagine was it was in

261
00:21:44.960 --> 00:21:51.119
the seventies. I first came out, and woman, those were

262
00:21:51.200 --> 00:21:56.359
my two favorite songs that John Lennen did, you know,

263
00:21:56.559 --> 00:22:01.599
solo wise? Although I didn't really don't know all I'm

264
00:22:01.599 --> 00:22:08.839
excited about this. I didn't realize that, oh what did

265
00:22:08.920 --> 00:22:12.960
he He did a song and then Brian Ferry did it,

266
00:22:13.039 --> 00:22:17.640
and Brian Ferry did a much arguably a much better

267
00:22:17.759 --> 00:22:23.839
version of it. I'm just a well a guy, whatever

268
00:22:23.839 --> 00:22:28.359
it is, is it? Brian Fairy was so good, that

269
00:22:28.440 --> 00:22:31.160
Brian Ferry version, and then I heard the John Lennon

270
00:22:31.240 --> 00:22:34.160
version and that was also really good. But Brian Ferry

271
00:22:34.359 --> 00:22:39.720
just I think I got the right singer. I'm just

272
00:22:39.880 --> 00:22:47.720
a classic guy something like that. I'm just something guy.

273
00:22:49.839 --> 00:22:53.920
Such a good song. And see, there's also something that

274
00:22:54.000 --> 00:22:58.000
I've noticed recently that I'm also you might have noticed

275
00:22:58.000 --> 00:23:03.480
about me. I'm a huge Bob Dylan and I have

276
00:23:03.759 --> 00:23:06.279
heard hardly anything from Bob Dylan that I didn't like,

277
00:23:07.720 --> 00:23:11.000
even though I don't understand half of what he's singing about,

278
00:23:11.839 --> 00:23:14.519
because he's singing about stuff from like the fifties and

279
00:23:14.759 --> 00:23:20.039
sixties and you know, different towns in America and beat

280
00:23:20.160 --> 00:23:22.359
Nick stuff. Well I know a little bit about beat

281
00:23:22.400 --> 00:23:28.200
Nick stuff, but you know, I don't really because it

282
00:23:28.279 --> 00:23:32.119
was before my time and even in the seventies. Like

283
00:23:32.240 --> 00:23:34.599
one of my favorite albums of all time is Blood

284
00:23:34.640 --> 00:23:37.240
on the Tracks, which is a Bob Dylan song from

285
00:23:37.279 --> 00:23:41.640
about nineteen seventy two or nineteen seventy four something like that,

286
00:23:44.240 --> 00:23:49.640
and I just love I love it. He mister Tambourne

287
00:23:49.880 --> 00:23:53.160
Man Blue Song for me. See, I didn't used to

288
00:23:53.319 --> 00:24:01.279
like that song when anyone else sung it, because he

289
00:24:01.559 --> 00:24:04.559
wasn't like it was a really popular song sung by

290
00:24:04.720 --> 00:24:08.000
so many different bands. I didn't know Bob Dylan sung it.

291
00:24:09.839 --> 00:24:12.279
And then when I heard Bob Dylan sing it, I thought, Oh,

292
00:24:12.359 --> 00:24:17.319
I like this and some of the lyrics I remember

293
00:24:17.880 --> 00:24:20.799
when I'm very because I've known about Bob Dylan since

294
00:24:20.839 --> 00:24:22.640
I was a kid, because he's always been around my

295
00:24:22.720 --> 00:24:26.440
whole life. I've not lived with him. I don't mean

296
00:24:26.519 --> 00:24:32.359
that way. It's not my neighbor doesn't live in the loft,

297
00:24:33.640 --> 00:24:37.759
but he every you know, he was always around. It

298
00:24:37.839 --> 00:24:41.240
was always I'd see him on Telly and I'd see him.

299
00:24:42.640 --> 00:24:47.279
It's just one of those things, like Kirk Douglas. I'd

300
00:24:47.319 --> 00:24:50.079
see him in the movies, so I grew up even

301
00:24:50.119 --> 00:24:52.519
though the movies he was in were from the fifties

302
00:24:53.839 --> 00:24:56.559
in the sixties, and I was watching him in the eighties,

303
00:24:57.680 --> 00:25:01.720
So I grew up knowing him. And it's really weird

304
00:25:01.839 --> 00:25:11.720
when his son became a massive star and what was

305
00:25:11.759 --> 00:25:20.160
this Kirk Douglas's son, what was his name? Douglas? So good?

306
00:25:21.400 --> 00:25:25.799
What a great comedy actor. What a great actor generally

307
00:25:27.680 --> 00:25:36.839
Daniel not Daniel Douglas. Why have I forgotten his first name?

308
00:25:37.640 --> 00:25:44.240
I know who he married. But he's so he's just

309
00:25:44.400 --> 00:25:49.119
got he's got that. He's got. Another really good actor

310
00:25:49.480 --> 00:25:55.640
is John Pertree's son. I think it's Sean Pertwee. He's

311
00:25:55.759 --> 00:25:57.720
so good, but he's never gone on to be like

312
00:25:58.000 --> 00:26:03.480
super famous, and I don't understand it, because he's really

313
00:26:04.119 --> 00:26:08.640
really good. His great at action, is great at comedy.

314
00:26:08.839 --> 00:26:14.240
He's got the timing, got he's got it. And his

315
00:26:14.400 --> 00:26:18.599
dad was super famous being in Doctor Who and Wordswillgummage

316
00:26:18.640 --> 00:26:20.759
and a lot of other things. So his dad was

317
00:26:20.920 --> 00:26:24.960
really famous in this country. And Sean Pertwee, I think

318
00:26:25.000 --> 00:26:29.920
it's Sean. Didn't he do Robin Hood or something back

319
00:26:30.000 --> 00:26:34.759
in the eighties. I think he might have done, but

320
00:26:34.960 --> 00:26:39.839
he was so he's so good, and I just anyway, Well,

321
00:26:39.920 --> 00:26:41.400
this hasn't really got anything to do with Q and

322
00:26:41.480 --> 00:26:50.559
A Friday, but very little has these days. I suppose

323
00:26:50.599 --> 00:26:53.000
I was just wondering, what's going to happen to my stuff?

324
00:26:54.119 --> 00:26:57.160
Someone's going to come in here and just chuck my

325
00:26:57.240 --> 00:27:06.039
stuff away? And it's it's got me thinking, why have

326
00:27:06.119 --> 00:27:11.759
I even got any stuff. So I started having a

327
00:27:11.799 --> 00:27:13.640
bit of clear out and getting rid of things that

328
00:27:13.759 --> 00:27:15.960
I don't need, things that I'm not going to look

329
00:27:16.000 --> 00:27:19.279
at again. Why am I. There's no point in having

330
00:27:19.319 --> 00:27:23.720
stuff if I'm not going to use it. So yeah,

331
00:27:24.559 --> 00:27:31.839
it's been able to tidy up just the idea of

332
00:27:31.960 --> 00:27:35.160
someone going through my things. And I saw that with

333
00:27:35.680 --> 00:27:40.119
Luke Luke's my friend Luke's stuff that he had people

334
00:27:40.240 --> 00:27:44.319
come in. He had some family come and take some keepsakes,

335
00:27:45.119 --> 00:27:51.920
t shirts, a few things just for a memory, you know,

336
00:27:52.359 --> 00:27:56.680
of him, something that I don't know whatever they wanted it.

337
00:27:56.720 --> 00:27:59.880
It was just a few little bits. And then he

338
00:28:00.119 --> 00:28:02.640
had someone else come in and just try and sell

339
00:28:02.680 --> 00:28:08.359
as much stuff as they could as well. So that

340
00:28:08.559 --> 00:28:12.240
lasted for a week a month or five weeks a month,

341
00:28:12.720 --> 00:28:16.559
something like that, and then the rest of it was

342
00:28:16.799 --> 00:28:21.559
just left for the council to come and collect, and

343
00:28:21.680 --> 00:28:27.119
they did collect it, but while they were collecting it,

344
00:28:28.000 --> 00:28:34.720
they were just mocking what he had. And I saw

345
00:28:34.920 --> 00:28:39.799
some bloke he was standing on top of this. The

346
00:28:39.920 --> 00:28:44.680
council left these cages where they also use them. They

347
00:28:44.839 --> 00:28:49.440
using for rubbish, but they also use them for like

348
00:28:49.599 --> 00:28:52.440
cutting trees, or cut, you know, trimming hedges and stuff.

349
00:28:52.880 --> 00:28:55.039
So it's kind of they put it in and it's

350
00:28:55.079 --> 00:29:00.319
all kind of caged up on this van thing probably

351
00:29:00.599 --> 00:29:04.160
a tip and the call term for the v hickel,

352
00:29:05.400 --> 00:29:10.880
but I don't know what it is. And this bloke

353
00:29:11.119 --> 00:29:15.920
was shouting to his friend or his colleague that was

354
00:29:15.960 --> 00:29:19.880
in the flat as well, so very loud, shouting out, oh,

355
00:29:19.960 --> 00:29:24.119
this is such a bunch of junk, whilst using a

356
00:29:24.680 --> 00:29:28.400
hammer or some sledgehammer thing to smash up the stuff

357
00:29:28.440 --> 00:29:32.000
in the back of this cage, smashing up his belongings.

358
00:29:33.759 --> 00:29:39.000
And yeah, I had to I had to walk away

359
00:29:39.039 --> 00:29:41.440
from that situation because I found it a little bit

360
00:29:43.759 --> 00:29:51.119
a lot disrespectful. You know. It's just I realized they

361
00:29:51.200 --> 00:29:53.839
don't know the person, and they probably didn't even know

362
00:29:54.039 --> 00:29:56.599
that he They might have. For all they know, he

363
00:29:56.759 --> 00:30:00.039
just moved out and left all this stuff there. And

364
00:30:00.079 --> 00:30:04.079
that happens a lot with the council apparently, so they

365
00:30:04.240 --> 00:30:15.319
weren't to know this situation. And yeah, perhaps they're not

366
00:30:15.480 --> 00:30:22.039
employed based upon their emotional intelligence, but a little bit

367
00:30:22.119 --> 00:30:29.400
of a little bit of consideration. I don't know, right,

368
00:30:29.480 --> 00:30:35.079
it might have some background noise. Now I've got myself

369
00:30:35.240 --> 00:30:41.000
a noise detector, any cheap thing, but there's no batteries,

370
00:30:41.000 --> 00:30:44.000
so I have to buy some batteries. But basically it

371
00:30:44.200 --> 00:30:48.200
checks the decimal of the level of noise coming in

372
00:30:48.359 --> 00:30:50.559
through the window. So I'm going to be able to

373
00:30:50.680 --> 00:30:53.720
test that with the different things I use to try

374
00:30:53.799 --> 00:30:58.359
and soundproof the window, but also be interested to see

375
00:30:59.200 --> 00:31:05.079
how loud decimal they're shouting is and whether or not

376
00:31:05.240 --> 00:31:08.519
it's breaking the law, just out of interest. I'm not

377
00:31:08.640 --> 00:31:12.079
never going to report them anyway, because I I don't

378
00:31:12.119 --> 00:31:16.519
do stuff like that, but just be interesting or whether

379
00:31:16.559 --> 00:31:23.079
it's just me being oversensitive, which it could be. I mean,

380
00:31:23.119 --> 00:31:25.519
it only really bothers me when I'm trying to make

381
00:31:25.559 --> 00:31:30.319
a recording. The rest of the time, most of the time,

382
00:31:30.680 --> 00:31:34.759
some of the time doesn't worry me at all. It's

383
00:31:35.160 --> 00:31:39.119
just when I'm trying to make a record, especially if

384
00:31:39.200 --> 00:31:42.960
it's a hypnosis recording, I need it to be quiet

385
00:31:44.920 --> 00:31:48.200
for me as well, because I'm focused very much on

386
00:31:48.759 --> 00:31:52.599
what I'm saying. I'm focused on how I'm saying it,

387
00:31:53.839 --> 00:31:57.000
and focused on the pauses because a lot more pauses,

388
00:31:58.480 --> 00:32:02.319
like quiet space is in the recording. We know what

389
00:32:02.599 --> 00:32:08.160
pauses you want explain what pauses? Okay, right, wow, And

390
00:32:09.279 --> 00:32:12.319
it's hard to have a pause or you know, a

391
00:32:12.440 --> 00:32:24.079
gap in the talking. Okay, you know what pauses? Yeah,

392
00:32:24.200 --> 00:32:26.119
if you especially like I was doing this one for

393
00:32:26.240 --> 00:32:30.160
five rod my Aurgia, and it's you know, there's like

394
00:32:30.279 --> 00:32:35.039
a gap as they now, let your unconscious mind just

395
00:32:35.799 --> 00:32:41.880
absorb these messages and allow everything to just come together

396
00:32:44.119 --> 00:32:49.000
slowly in your own time, and then there's a pause.

397
00:32:49.640 --> 00:32:52.000
But if after that all you hear is do you

398
00:32:52.119 --> 00:32:56.480
want a coffee? Yeah, I've got a coffee. You're right

399
00:32:56.599 --> 00:33:00.559
in what then? What do you get any shape? Gosh? Night?

400
00:33:01.119 --> 00:33:06.960
Was it? Because the people ututays are really loud, really loud.

401
00:33:10.920 --> 00:33:13.960
It's like, okay, this is six point thirty in the morning.

402
00:33:14.039 --> 00:33:21.960
People come on, I'm really loud. Didn't consider it so yeah.

403
00:33:23.960 --> 00:33:26.440
Other than that, they're actually really nice people. It's just

404
00:33:29.000 --> 00:33:31.039
I don't like anything getting in a way of this.

405
00:33:33.400 --> 00:33:35.200
It's one of my little peeves. You know, this is

406
00:33:36.160 --> 00:33:39.880
important to me doing these things, and I'm trying to

407
00:33:42.400 --> 00:33:45.480
whether you've noticed or not, I'm trying to sort of

408
00:33:46.680 --> 00:33:51.079
do a bit more of the old hypnosy stuff. I'm

409
00:33:51.119 --> 00:33:59.599
not sure how well. I don't know. I don't know.

410
00:34:01.079 --> 00:34:03.960
I don't know. Is it going well, I don't know,

411
00:34:06.480 --> 00:34:13.599
I don't know. I'm not sure, right, Okay, that's interesting.

412
00:34:13.760 --> 00:34:17.440
What's going on here? So I'm trying to look at

413
00:34:17.480 --> 00:34:25.400
my podcast pro okay, this is YouTube. I'm trying to

414
00:34:25.400 --> 00:34:32.360
look at my stats downloads eight new videos. That's that's

415
00:34:32.639 --> 00:34:37.159
that's it's not it's not given me that. Okay, never

416
00:34:37.239 --> 00:34:46.119
mind my videos. Well, the stats that seem to be

417
00:34:46.199 --> 00:34:50.719
going up a bit with the old YouTube videos, which

418
00:34:50.760 --> 00:34:54.119
are just it's basically just a podcast. It's this podcast

419
00:34:57.079 --> 00:35:02.719
and I saw it. So every single time I record something,

420
00:35:03.519 --> 00:35:07.079
it gets uploaded onto YouTube in a format of just

421
00:35:07.840 --> 00:35:11.880
the podcast episode, so whether it's normal length all the

422
00:35:11.920 --> 00:35:16.079
way up to ten hours with and without music, and

423
00:35:16.159 --> 00:35:23.119
they're all uploaded, all six versions. And I've started to

424
00:35:23.880 --> 00:35:28.719
increase subscribers the last few days and more people are

425
00:35:28.800 --> 00:35:35.400
listening to the recordings. It's not huge, but it's increasing.

426
00:35:36.119 --> 00:35:40.199
Which is it's always nice, it's always always groovy to

427
00:35:40.320 --> 00:35:45.039
have that happen. Well, I'm wondering, not is where's the

428
00:35:46.400 --> 00:35:51.440
oh there is? So I suppose really what I was

429
00:35:51.559 --> 00:35:57.719
trying to sort of come to figure out is how

430
00:35:57.800 --> 00:36:02.800
can I be remembered. How can I be remembered or

431
00:36:02.840 --> 00:36:04.639
will I be remembered, or I'm just I'm just going

432
00:36:04.719 --> 00:36:10.599
to be forgotten. And it seems weird bearing in mind

433
00:36:10.639 --> 00:36:16.199
I've done thousands of recordings, I mean literally individual recordings.

434
00:36:18.199 --> 00:36:23.119
I've done thousands. It doesn't even make sense really when

435
00:36:23.159 --> 00:36:28.679
you think about it. I mean, let me boy to sleep.

436
00:36:29.559 --> 00:36:34.880
I've done one thousand, four hundred and seven different recordings

437
00:36:36.960 --> 00:36:39.119
and a lot of then there's six versions, and I've

438
00:36:39.119 --> 00:36:45.440
also done hundreds and hundreds and hundreds probably maybe a

439
00:36:45.639 --> 00:36:53.440
thousand other different recordings as well, So that's quite a lot,

440
00:36:54.960 --> 00:36:58.719
quite a bit in it, don't you think quite a bit?

441
00:37:03.239 --> 00:37:05.880
And what's going to happen to all those recordings? Because

442
00:37:08.119 --> 00:37:11.519
when I'm departed, Oh come on, what are you doing? Okay,

443
00:37:12.480 --> 00:37:18.639
itchy leg? When I'm departed, what happens to all these recordings?

444
00:37:18.679 --> 00:37:23.440
It will just be they'll just disappear because they're not physical.

445
00:37:23.519 --> 00:37:25.840
They're not a physical thing. They're not I mean, if

446
00:37:25.840 --> 00:37:28.559
they're a physical thing, the political gets stuck, get chucked

447
00:37:28.599 --> 00:37:32.400
out by the council and smashed up whilst someone's showing

448
00:37:32.840 --> 00:37:37.360
what a bunch of junk, Hey, what did this bloke,

449
00:37:37.519 --> 00:37:42.159
do what There's all these recordings, I mean, technically they

450
00:37:42.199 --> 00:37:48.239
are they are saved on hard drives, but it's saved

451
00:37:48.280 --> 00:37:51.639
on the podcasts. But what's going to happen to all

452
00:37:51.679 --> 00:37:56.079
the recordings? Will they be of any use to anyone

453
00:37:58.440 --> 00:38:02.440
in the future. I don't have an answer for this,

454
00:38:02.840 --> 00:38:06.679
and it's it's been a little bit on my mind,

455
00:38:07.079 --> 00:38:10.639
just a little bit. And I know that I'm not

456
00:38:14.239 --> 00:38:19.119
you know, I'm not. I've not invented something that's changed

457
00:38:19.239 --> 00:38:22.599
the world, so I'm not going to be remembered like that.

458
00:38:25.960 --> 00:38:31.039
I'm not famous, so I don't be remembered by millions

459
00:38:31.119 --> 00:38:34.239
of people because I've not got that kind of audience,

460
00:38:36.079 --> 00:38:39.719
not yet. Anyway, give it time, baby, give it time.

461
00:38:45.719 --> 00:38:51.000
There's there's probably a few there's a few thousand people,

462
00:38:51.760 --> 00:38:55.119
maybe I reckon probably ten twenty thousand people around the

463
00:38:55.159 --> 00:38:58.199
world that know who I am. Would that have listened

464
00:38:58.239 --> 00:39:02.840
to me? Maybe more, maybe fifty thousand over the nineteen

465
00:39:02.960 --> 00:39:07.000
years I've been doing this, perhaps even more than that,

466
00:39:07.320 --> 00:39:10.599
just that at least that I've listened to me. But

467
00:39:10.760 --> 00:39:13.280
then I guess I'll be forgotten by a lot of

468
00:39:13.360 --> 00:39:19.159
those people. So I'm known a little bit around the world.

469
00:39:21.599 --> 00:39:23.880
Mind you, twenty thousand is not bad. That could fill

470
00:39:23.960 --> 00:39:31.880
out a stadium or an arena in this country. If

471
00:39:31.920 --> 00:39:34.559
I could get every single person from around the world

472
00:39:35.800 --> 00:39:38.800
that's listening to that's listened to my recordings in the

473
00:39:38.920 --> 00:39:43.639
last year, over the last twelve months, I could probably

474
00:39:44.400 --> 00:39:46.920
it's probably going to be about twenty thousand people, maybe

475
00:39:47.559 --> 00:39:53.000
maybe a lot more than that. I tried to work

476
00:39:53.039 --> 00:39:57.559
it out once, but it's hard. It's really hard to

477
00:39:57.639 --> 00:40:00.960
figure out. You know, there's regular p people. There's people

478
00:40:01.119 --> 00:40:05.199
that sort on my Facebook group. There's only two hundred

479
00:40:05.199 --> 00:40:11.159
and twenty members on my Jason Newland's Boring group, but

480
00:40:11.599 --> 00:40:14.679
generally the people in that group in that group are

481
00:40:16.079 --> 00:40:22.360
regular listeners. But I do have for every person that

482
00:40:24.280 --> 00:40:27.039
would join a group to listen, there's going to be

483
00:40:27.239 --> 00:40:34.159
probably another ten, twenty, forty to fifty that I'll never

484
00:40:34.239 --> 00:40:37.679
hear about. Just like for every person that's meant that

485
00:40:37.880 --> 00:40:44.440
posts a comment, there'll be hundreds that don't that won't

486
00:40:44.480 --> 00:40:46.840
post a comment, on thousands that won't post a comment

487
00:40:48.320 --> 00:40:52.599
because what I do is not really necessarily comment post

488
00:40:52.639 --> 00:40:59.519
the ball. The ball is it? It's like, it's not

489
00:40:59.679 --> 00:41:02.320
really I guess I suppose on YouTube, so I might

490
00:41:03.199 --> 00:41:06.719
post a message a comments saying thank you for this

491
00:41:06.960 --> 00:41:10.320
and stuff, But on podcasts, you don't get that. Don't

492
00:41:10.360 --> 00:41:17.639
really get hardly any feedback at all at all. In fact,

493
00:41:17.679 --> 00:41:25.000
if I go to my website, just on Jason Newland

494
00:41:25.400 --> 00:41:34.800
dot com, let me have a look playlists. Oh wait

495
00:41:34.800 --> 00:41:43.840
a minute, that's weird. There's no home contact, Facebook group,

496
00:41:44.000 --> 00:41:51.599
YouTube podcast apps, playlists, podcasts, PayPal reviews. That's what I

497
00:41:51.679 --> 00:41:57.480
was looking for, and then requested recordings reviews. The last

498
00:41:57.599 --> 00:42:04.159
actual review that I've got on here was from probably

499
00:42:04.719 --> 00:42:09.679
a year ago maybe, in fact, I can't even know.

500
00:42:10.960 --> 00:42:13.079
I don't know what it was. It's a while back.

501
00:42:15.039 --> 00:42:23.519
So yeah, I don't get regular, regular reviews, which is okay,

502
00:42:25.000 --> 00:42:28.679
it's not I prefer more. I prefer not regular people

503
00:42:28.960 --> 00:42:36.360
because it's good advertising. You know, it's almost like I'm

504
00:42:36.800 --> 00:42:41.360
I'm like, people's like little dirty secret, like let's not

505
00:42:41.519 --> 00:42:43.000
let anyone out. I don't want anyone to know that

506
00:42:43.039 --> 00:42:45.840
I listened to that weird man in England. I don't

507
00:42:45.840 --> 00:42:51.719
want anyone to know. No. And you know the thing is,

508
00:42:51.880 --> 00:42:57.920
if you if you actually have some kind of benefit

509
00:42:58.960 --> 00:43:04.159
from listening to my recordings, then chances that other people

510
00:43:04.320 --> 00:43:11.639
will also gain some kind of benefit, whether it's fallen asleep,

511
00:43:11.960 --> 00:43:16.400
whether it's just calming your mind down and relaxing a bit,

512
00:43:17.840 --> 00:43:24.119
or just hearing a familiar, friendly voice. I like to

513
00:43:24.159 --> 00:43:29.639
think I've got a fairly friendly voice. Is my voice

514
00:43:29.800 --> 00:43:35.840
friendly or better be? Or I am a friendly voice?

515
00:43:37.599 --> 00:43:40.239
So yeah, I like to it could be just that,

516
00:43:40.519 --> 00:43:52.360
it could be company. Because I do regular, regular recordings.

517
00:43:55.320 --> 00:44:02.880
Then it's kind of to me it's sort of like

518
00:44:03.000 --> 00:44:09.199
a radio show kind of. It's not live, but it

519
00:44:09.320 --> 00:44:11.519
is now at the moment, it's live as I record it.

520
00:44:17.800 --> 00:44:20.199
He's got his eyes open. I wonder what he's thinking.

521
00:44:21.639 --> 00:44:24.719
He's just laying down on his side, listening to the

522
00:44:24.800 --> 00:44:31.519
outside sounds, the lovely sounds. You like the sounds, don't you? Hey?

523
00:44:33.840 --> 00:44:35.960
I put his dinner out this morning, and his breakfast

524
00:44:36.039 --> 00:44:40.119
not touching it, not being hungry, have you? But when

525
00:44:40.159 --> 00:44:45.639
we go out and you see the other dog walkers

526
00:44:46.719 --> 00:44:48.880
and they've got treats, you go, oh, give me a treat,

527
00:44:48.960 --> 00:44:54.440
Give me a treat, don't you, hey? She do. So.

528
00:44:55.119 --> 00:44:56.880
He's always got a bit of room and he's tummy

529
00:44:56.960 --> 00:45:00.360
for some treats, don't you. And I shouldn't keep saying

530
00:45:00.400 --> 00:45:06.039
that word because I've got none for him. I've run out. Sorry, mate,

531
00:45:06.760 --> 00:45:13.559
you've got food if you eat it, your little sausage.

532
00:45:14.559 --> 00:45:18.559
That's another word that gets him, sausage like sausages. Don't

533
00:45:18.599 --> 00:45:25.920
you uncle sausages. I don't have to, I'll tell you

534
00:45:26.000 --> 00:45:31.159
that uncle Sausages. Started calling Vinnie sausage. They called him,

535
00:45:31.280 --> 00:45:37.159
they called him sausages, and he started asking me how

536
00:45:37.239 --> 00:45:42.000
sausage is getting on. It was so cute, didn't it.

537
00:45:45.000 --> 00:45:48.880
You loved your uncle sausages, didn't you, hey, because he

538
00:45:48.960 --> 00:45:51.119
used to the reason we called him that, the reason

539
00:45:51.199 --> 00:45:54.159
Vinnie calls him that, is because he used to buy

540
00:45:54.280 --> 00:45:57.039
these sausages, these packs of sausages from up the road,

541
00:45:57.920 --> 00:46:02.960
and they were horrible. I mean, they were supposedly for

542
00:46:03.119 --> 00:46:07.679
human consumption, and I would not touch them. They were

543
00:46:07.840 --> 00:46:23.519
like these rubbery I don't know, Frankenfurter, Savoloy, rubbery y. No.

544
00:46:24.559 --> 00:46:27.360
I wouldn't touch him. I touched him give them to him.

545
00:46:28.719 --> 00:46:31.079
He loved them. I didn't even think he was going

546
00:46:31.159 --> 00:46:33.400
to like him, because I thought I wouldn't even eat them.

547
00:46:34.559 --> 00:46:42.880
But he absolutely adored them, didn't you, Yes, you did.

548
00:46:43.639 --> 00:46:48.159
You gotta bite me, You gotta bite me. It's really

549
00:46:48.440 --> 00:46:50.599
got I put my hand near him, but my hand

550
00:46:50.639 --> 00:46:58.519
away and he tries to bite it. So I don't know.

551
00:46:58.519 --> 00:47:02.159
I'm just waffling now. Hope asks me, how many times

552
00:47:02.239 --> 00:47:10.800
have you cut your toenails since nineteen ninety? Well, I have,

553
00:47:11.960 --> 00:47:14.760
She also says, just kidding, I've been holding in that

554
00:47:15.039 --> 00:47:19.920
end for four weeks. I'm going to answer anyway, So there.

555
00:47:20.840 --> 00:47:24.119
How many times are I probably since nineteen ninety I

556
00:47:24.199 --> 00:47:31.159
reckon about three times. Yeah, it's I'm not very good

557
00:47:31.159 --> 00:47:36.719
at cutting my toenails. They need cutting now, and sometimes

558
00:47:37.000 --> 00:47:40.639
they grew. I used to what I used to do,

559
00:47:41.639 --> 00:47:43.920
I used to cut them too short and they ended

560
00:47:44.000 --> 00:47:48.119
up getting grown toenails when I was about fifteen sixteen,

561
00:47:49.119 --> 00:47:51.920
and I had that as a problem for a few years.

562
00:47:54.679 --> 00:47:57.800
So what I did is purposely that let them grow

563
00:48:00.320 --> 00:48:03.199
so that that never happened again, and that hasn't happened since.

564
00:48:08.559 --> 00:48:14.639
But because of that, the big toes are not quite

565
00:48:14.679 --> 00:48:18.000
as the toenails on quite as straight as the other ones,

566
00:48:19.199 --> 00:48:26.599
because they've been partially removed in the past. I don't

567
00:48:26.679 --> 00:48:29.920
cut them very often, not as I remember. I had

568
00:48:29.960 --> 00:48:33.599
a date. Yeah, I had a date with this lady

569
00:48:33.800 --> 00:48:40.840
back ninety or two thousand and five it was. And

570
00:48:40.960 --> 00:48:48.519
I went around her house. I wasn't any really expecting

571
00:48:48.559 --> 00:48:53.800
anything to happen, but I ended up with my socks

572
00:48:53.840 --> 00:49:01.679
off and they were like I'd yeah, it wasn't good.

573
00:49:03.280 --> 00:49:05.440
It was good, but it wasn't you know. My toenails

574
00:49:05.480 --> 00:49:08.639
weren't good. And she cut my toenails. It's like, okay,

575
00:49:09.400 --> 00:49:11.719
a bit of a weird at the first date, but hey,

576
00:49:12.280 --> 00:49:22.599
I'm going to go with it. And I walked home.

577
00:49:24.960 --> 00:49:29.719
See when I cut my toenails, I checked them. I

578
00:49:29.800 --> 00:49:34.719
didn't check them. Now I'm not being horrible, but she

579
00:49:35.079 --> 00:49:39.440
didn't cut them properly in a way. Now what I

580
00:49:39.519 --> 00:49:44.280
mean by that is there was one bit of now

581
00:49:44.519 --> 00:49:50.679
sticking out the side. And I walked and there's probably

582
00:49:50.679 --> 00:49:57.000
about an hour over an hour's walk, maybe an hour

583
00:49:57.039 --> 00:50:04.280
and fifteen minute walk home, and my whole sock was

584
00:50:05.360 --> 00:50:10.840
soaking with there wasn't sweat anyway. It basically it cut

585
00:50:10.960 --> 00:50:13.360
my toe ol it my tonail cut my other toe

586
00:50:13.440 --> 00:50:21.320
open and it was really sore. Just it's really weird.

587
00:50:21.599 --> 00:50:29.360
I was just like, wow, so pretty much. And I

588
00:50:29.440 --> 00:50:31.960
did have my when I was I've been into a

589
00:50:32.119 --> 00:50:40.960
now salon and have my toenails cut. That's weird. That's

590
00:50:41.079 --> 00:50:42.760
Villy's by the way, Just in case you wonder what

591
00:50:42.840 --> 00:50:46.159
the noise is, it's Viny and giving himself a little

592
00:50:46.159 --> 00:50:52.639
bed bath, a little flannel, a little flannel bath, a

593
00:50:52.719 --> 00:50:59.800
little a little you know, you know, dogs what they

594
00:50:59.920 --> 00:51:06.440
like to do. Get in there, boy and sa how

595
00:51:06.480 --> 00:51:12.719
many since nineteen ninety Probably how many times do we

596
00:51:12.800 --> 00:51:18.159
cut our town hours in a year? Twice? Three times?

597
00:51:18.280 --> 00:51:24.639
Maybe it's definitely my toenails grow a lot slower than

598
00:51:24.679 --> 00:51:34.159
my fingernails. My fingernails grow really quick. Toenails. Probably they

599
00:51:34.239 --> 00:51:39.880
do need to be cut now. They are ready. Yeah,

600
00:51:40.000 --> 00:51:44.599
they're pretty much. I'm not saying they're crying out. They're like,

601
00:51:44.760 --> 00:51:48.719
oh cut me, please, Dad, do cut me? No, nothing

602
00:51:48.800 --> 00:51:53.599
like that. But they do need to be trimmed. But

603
00:51:53.719 --> 00:51:59.559
they're not like they're not like a witch's talents. You know,

604
00:51:59.639 --> 00:52:07.679
they're not really all curly. And you see that people

605
00:52:07.840 --> 00:52:11.480
that are not Guinness Book of Records for the longest fingernails,

606
00:52:12.679 --> 00:52:17.039
and it's probably that it's like the pride of their

607
00:52:17.119 --> 00:52:25.559
life is having the longest fingernails. But what quality of

608
00:52:25.719 --> 00:52:30.199
life do they have with those things? You know, they're

609
00:52:30.320 --> 00:52:35.480
like twenty foot long. What can they do? What can

610
00:52:35.559 --> 00:52:42.960
they actually do? You know what I mean? Like why?

611
00:52:45.159 --> 00:52:48.360
But yeah, who's who am I to judge? So probably

612
00:52:48.599 --> 00:52:54.679
maybe four times a year, was it nineteen ninety It

613
00:52:54.800 --> 00:52:56.800
might be more than four times a year. I don't know.

614
00:52:57.000 --> 00:53:03.800
I mean there was a period when, Yeah, I've always

615
00:53:03.840 --> 00:53:06.719
had a bit of sort of kind of forgetfulness when

616
00:53:06.760 --> 00:53:11.480
it comes to toenails because I don't go naked with

617
00:53:11.599 --> 00:53:17.320
my toes. They're always covered up so no one ever

618
00:53:17.360 --> 00:53:21.159
gets to see them, and I forget they're there. Really,

619
00:53:21.880 --> 00:53:23.679
I mean I know they're there, but I forget they're there.

620
00:53:24.360 --> 00:53:29.199
It's a little bit like like nipples. Really, I just

621
00:53:29.239 --> 00:53:32.480
don't really I don't give them much thought. Not that

622
00:53:32.559 --> 00:53:34.280
I need to trim in nipples, but you know, I'm

623
00:53:34.320 --> 00:53:38.960
just saying that would be weird. It's it's just it's

624
00:53:39.000 --> 00:53:42.800
just not one belly button. It's just a thing. It's

625
00:53:42.800 --> 00:53:48.199
the thing that's there, and I don't really use anymore.

626
00:53:49.480 --> 00:53:51.760
I could go further now could know what other parts

627
00:53:51.760 --> 00:53:57.639
of my body do not use anymore. So probably quite

628
00:53:57.679 --> 00:54:05.960
a few times forty forty was it ninety two thousand, ten?

629
00:54:06.199 --> 00:54:17.880
Twenty forty eighty and twenty one hundred and forty one

630
00:54:17.960 --> 00:54:20.639
hundred and forty times. That's a lot, isn't it. Probably

631
00:54:20.639 --> 00:54:23.039
about one hundred and forty times, maybe two hundred times,

632
00:54:24.159 --> 00:54:30.559
maybe more, maybe less. I didn't, you know. I mean,

633
00:54:30.559 --> 00:54:32.159
there was a time when I was cutting my toe

634
00:54:32.199 --> 00:54:35.559
now was way too often, which I said that led

635
00:54:35.599 --> 00:54:40.039
to me basically messing my toes up. But they're fine

636
00:54:40.079 --> 00:54:46.079
now I don't have that problem anymore. So Hope, that

637
00:54:46.199 --> 00:54:50.239
was Hope's question, real question. What was your favorite song

638
00:54:50.320 --> 00:54:57.079
in the eighties? I have two favorite songs from the eighties.

639
00:55:01.079 --> 00:55:08.119
It's a hard one. That's hard because let's say go

640
00:55:08.280 --> 00:55:16.599
through the eighties. It depends when you ask me. I mean,

641
00:55:16.599 --> 00:55:19.599
I know you're asking me now. If you'd have asked

642
00:55:19.679 --> 00:55:29.679
me in nineteen eighty six or eighty five or nineteen

643
00:55:29.800 --> 00:55:34.079
eighty nine, I would have given you different questions. I've

644
00:55:34.079 --> 00:55:36.559
given you a different answer. Sorry. So if you'd have

645
00:55:36.599 --> 00:55:40.159
asked me nineteen eighty nine, I very likely would have

646
00:55:40.239 --> 00:55:45.000
told you that Like a Prayer was possibly my favorite

647
00:55:45.039 --> 00:55:49.639
song of the Night of the eighties. But then if

648
00:55:49.760 --> 00:55:56.599
you you know, it depends, But there's two songs that

649
00:55:56.880 --> 00:56:05.000
really shine of all the others kind of a nostalgic reason,

650
00:56:05.400 --> 00:56:08.039
and I kind of it reminds me a little bit

651
00:56:08.079 --> 00:56:12.320
of when I was in hospital with my appendix. And

652
00:56:12.400 --> 00:56:16.360
those two songs are Men at Work down Under and

653
00:56:16.800 --> 00:56:21.800
totally Clips of the Heart Body Tyler. She also did

654
00:56:21.840 --> 00:56:27.840
a song called what did She Do? What was it?

655
00:56:28.760 --> 00:56:34.639
We don't need another hero, We don't need another lasso. No,

656
00:56:34.800 --> 00:56:39.360
that was Tina Turner, wasn't it. There's a hero? No,

657
00:56:39.519 --> 00:56:45.159
that's mine Kerry. I'm looking out, I'm looking on for

658
00:56:45.280 --> 00:56:48.400
a hero. I'm looking at her the ball to do

659
00:56:48.559 --> 00:56:51.519
the end of the night. You gotta be strong, and

660
00:56:51.639 --> 00:56:54.239
his guard would be tough, and his guard to be weird,

661
00:56:54.400 --> 00:56:57.760
being the fide I need a hero that one. Yeah,

662
00:56:57.920 --> 00:57:05.760
that's Bonnie Tyler. So I am all of those. Those

663
00:57:06.000 --> 00:57:10.000
two songs totally Clips of the Heart and Man down Under.

664
00:57:14.320 --> 00:57:19.480
Yeah that they're the two songs that probably are two

665
00:57:19.519 --> 00:57:24.199
of my favorite songs. If I kind of look from

666
00:57:24.239 --> 00:57:28.880
a distance, However, if I was going to go a

667
00:57:28.920 --> 00:57:33.079
little bit closer, a little bit a little bit closer

668
00:57:33.159 --> 00:57:44.800
in probably my favorite singer was Shaken Stevens, but I

669
00:57:45.199 --> 00:57:49.320
liked so many, Like one of my favorite songs would

670
00:57:49.360 --> 00:57:53.440
be The Tide Is High by Blondie, absolutely love Blondie,

671
00:57:54.719 --> 00:58:00.760
Love Dlo. And I was a big fan of a

672
00:58:00.960 --> 00:58:05.360
lot of the songs and the bands from the early eighties,

673
00:58:06.000 --> 00:58:09.639
late seventies, early eighties because it was a crossover. There

674
00:58:09.760 --> 00:58:14.280
wasn't there. I mean, the music didn't change on the

675
00:58:14.360 --> 00:58:18.440
January the first nineteen eighties. From you know, the seventies,

676
00:58:18.559 --> 00:58:22.039
there was a All the big acts in the early

677
00:58:22.079 --> 00:58:27.840
eighties were pretty much from the late seventies. Well, it

678
00:58:27.960 --> 00:58:37.960
started down in the seventies, so I would say nineteen

679
00:58:38.000 --> 00:58:54.079
eighties Wham. I loved the Wham songs What's his name?

680
00:58:55.320 --> 00:58:58.360
I Wall, let the Sun Go Down on and Me

681
00:58:59.800 --> 00:59:04.840
the Son Go Down Nick Kershaw and Nick Kershall is

682
00:59:04.840 --> 00:59:06.679
one of my favorite singers as well. For a while,

683
00:59:11.320 --> 00:59:16.559
you know, I liked lots of like you know, the

684
00:59:16.719 --> 00:59:28.239
Queen Queen, especially the soundtrack to Flash Gordon's Brilliant. I mean,

685
00:59:28.280 --> 00:59:31.599
that's one of my favorite movies, and I forget about that.

686
00:59:32.280 --> 00:59:34.119
I was thinking the other day. It's another one that

687
00:59:34.199 --> 00:59:36.840
I completely forget when I talk about about my favorite

688
00:59:36.880 --> 00:59:42.639
movies of all time, Roadhouse. So I generally just go

689
00:59:42.840 --> 00:59:45.519
with It's a wonderful life. That's my favorite movie, which

690
00:59:45.719 --> 00:59:48.920
I'm still going to stick with. It's my favorite all

691
00:59:49.000 --> 00:59:56.039
time movie. But I also love Roadhouse, I love Flash Gordon,

692
00:59:56.199 --> 01:00:00.800
I love Greece because of the feel good and the

693
01:00:00.920 --> 01:00:06.480
feel goodedness of it. They were just fun, fun movies,

694
01:00:08.400 --> 01:00:14.480
and I'd say all of those movies were iconic in

695
01:00:14.599 --> 01:00:23.679
their own way. But yeah, if you get me talk

696
01:00:23.719 --> 01:00:26.280
about movies, I can talk for hours because there's so

697
01:00:26.440 --> 01:00:29.920
many different types of movies I like and have liked

698
01:00:29.960 --> 01:00:39.880
over the years, especially comedies. And I wasn't gonna say yeah,

699
01:00:40.000 --> 01:00:47.719
so so I don't have one favorite song from the eighties.

700
01:00:49.800 --> 01:00:56.679
I do, however, have they would kind of be two

701
01:00:56.760 --> 01:01:02.119
of my favorite songs. But then if we were going

702
01:01:02.199 --> 01:01:05.800
to look at Shaking Stevens, one of my favorite songs

703
01:01:05.800 --> 01:01:09.119
that he did was It's Raining and it was it

704
01:01:09.199 --> 01:01:14.000
went like earterining so hard, looks like it's got real name.

705
01:01:15.639 --> 01:01:18.559
So I love, really loved that song and the Merry.

706
01:01:18.760 --> 01:01:22.639
I like the Christmas song that he did Mary Christmas. Everyone.

707
01:01:30.239 --> 01:01:35.760
I'm just trying to think this this it's a ten

708
01:01:35.880 --> 01:01:44.199
year period. It's a long time to choose just one song. Yeah,

709
01:01:44.199 --> 01:01:47.800
I struggle with that. If I'm honest, I mean, I

710
01:01:47.880 --> 01:01:51.599
would actually say that totally Eclipse of the Heart and

711
01:01:56.199 --> 01:02:03.280
Down Under two of my favoritest song was ever. But

712
01:02:03.400 --> 01:02:06.960
then if I go to the nineties, I have nothing,

713
01:02:07.480 --> 01:02:12.079
is that I have nothing. Whitney Houston The Bodyguard. I

714
01:02:12.280 --> 01:02:14.599
just fell in love with that song the second I

715
01:02:14.679 --> 01:02:18.360
heard it, like within seconds of listening. I just fell

716
01:02:18.400 --> 01:02:21.920
in love with that song. I prefer I liked it

717
01:02:22.079 --> 01:02:25.880
way more than the I Will Always Know, I Will

718
01:02:25.880 --> 01:02:29.440
Always Love You or whatever it's called, you know, the

719
01:02:29.519 --> 01:02:34.559
big one that she did. And I hadn't seen the movie,

720
01:02:35.679 --> 01:02:38.760
so I got the I got like a bootleg tape

721
01:02:39.679 --> 01:02:46.519
of it. Of the album, I think it was a

722
01:02:46.639 --> 01:02:51.719
pound or two pound, something like that, and I just

723
01:02:51.840 --> 01:02:54.519
love like that. I think the cover was in black

724
01:02:54.559 --> 01:03:04.440
and white printed obviously or a probably photocops, but really

725
01:03:04.679 --> 01:03:08.519
I love that. It's like wow. And there's some songs

726
01:03:08.719 --> 01:03:10.559
even in the eighties. I remember there was a song

727
01:03:11.280 --> 01:03:15.559
meat Loaf and share I Don't Know What to Do

728
01:03:19.880 --> 01:03:23.360
where they're in a bar singing. Since A I've been

729
01:03:23.400 --> 01:03:25.559
hanging around with you do do do do do Do

730
01:03:25.639 --> 01:03:27.760
Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do do do

731
01:03:27.880 --> 01:03:30.360
do do do do do do do do do do

732
01:03:30.480 --> 01:03:34.480
do Do Do Do Do Do, Baby Baby, Baby Baby

733
01:03:35.039 --> 01:03:39.360
Roller cul rock and Roll the Poo boo that one,

734
01:03:40.280 --> 01:03:42.239
And I remember waking up to that because I used

735
01:03:42.280 --> 01:03:44.199
to have a radio when I was a kid at school.

736
01:03:44.679 --> 01:03:47.079
I didn't carry around at school, that would be weird,

737
01:03:48.039 --> 01:03:52.960
but I had a radio, like a clock radio next

738
01:03:53.000 --> 01:03:55.760
to my bed and wake me up because I you know,

739
01:03:55.840 --> 01:04:01.280
I had paper rounds and various different part time jobs

740
01:04:01.320 --> 01:04:08.000
over the years when I was at school and it

741
01:04:08.239 --> 01:04:19.480
was what was it? It was something? I yeah, I

742
01:04:19.559 --> 01:04:22.920
woke up to that song. I remember, this is weird.

743
01:04:23.000 --> 01:04:24.679
I remember that. I don't know what year it was,

744
01:04:25.519 --> 01:04:29.159
but I remember waking up to it and like, I

745
01:04:29.360 --> 01:04:34.920
loved it. I hadn't seen the video. I didn't. I

746
01:04:35.000 --> 01:04:38.000
mean MTV was around, but I didn't have access to it.

747
01:04:39.360 --> 01:04:41.760
It wasn't really on the normal channels. I think you

748
01:04:41.840 --> 01:04:44.880
had to get satellite to get hold of things like that.

749
01:04:46.199 --> 01:04:49.199
And that's back in the day when MTV, which I

750
01:04:49.320 --> 01:04:55.159
do believe stands for Music Television, actually had music on it.

751
01:04:56.719 --> 01:04:59.400
I mean, just change your name, baby, change your name.

752
01:04:59.599 --> 01:05:03.920
If you're not going to have videos anymore, change the name. Don't. Don't.

753
01:05:04.000 --> 01:05:07.679
What's what's with the like it's now just reality programs

754
01:05:07.719 --> 01:05:11.000
on there. As far as my way, I mean, I

755
01:05:11.079 --> 01:05:17.000
haven't watched it for years, but it was MTV changed

756
01:05:18.199 --> 01:05:23.719
the music industry. It made it more available, not to

757
01:05:23.800 --> 01:05:29.760
people in England unfortunately, but it paved the way it

758
01:05:30.000 --> 01:05:32.920
kind of got acts started to make videos and putting

759
01:05:32.920 --> 01:05:36.679
a bit more effort into the videos, which everyone got

760
01:05:36.719 --> 01:05:40.360
to see because I imagine every every country had their

761
01:05:40.400 --> 01:05:48.039
own music show on television that showed the videos. Our

762
01:05:48.159 --> 01:05:51.360
one was Top of the Pops, which was the biggest

763
01:05:52.039 --> 01:05:56.480
music show in the country now, was on a Thursday night,

764
01:05:57.559 --> 01:05:59.599
I do if I believe. Yeah, it was on a

765
01:05:59.639 --> 01:06:04.320
Thursday day night for the whole of the eighties. It

766
01:06:04.440 --> 01:06:06.719
was on in the nineties and the two thousands as well,

767
01:06:06.760 --> 01:06:08.719
but it hasn't been on for years. It's on in

768
01:06:08.800 --> 01:06:11.559
the seventies and the sixties. It's a very long running show.

769
01:06:15.400 --> 01:06:17.159
But then there was some other video and there's other

770
01:06:17.280 --> 01:06:20.960
shows came on music shows that showed videos, but we

771
01:06:21.039 --> 01:06:25.960
didn't get MTV, not unless you had a satellite. And

772
01:06:26.079 --> 01:06:30.440
I think in the nineties when Sky came up, or

773
01:06:30.440 --> 01:06:34.320
the late eighties, s Guy came along giving people satellites

774
01:06:34.400 --> 01:06:38.840
and you could watch TV programs and TV channels from

775
01:06:38.880 --> 01:06:42.679
other countries. I did. I never had access to it,

776
01:06:42.840 --> 01:06:44.840
so I never got to see it. I knew what

777
01:06:44.960 --> 01:06:48.239
it was, I know what MTV was, but I didn't

778
01:06:49.760 --> 01:06:52.320
I didn't get to see it. I mean, I still

779
01:06:52.400 --> 01:07:02.400
remember when Michael Jackson released his thriller song thriller video,

780
01:07:02.599 --> 01:07:05.639
you know, the big, the long video of him where

781
01:07:05.639 --> 01:07:08.360
he's a werewolf and all that stuff, and he's in

782
01:07:08.480 --> 01:07:12.360
the cinema and eating popcorn and stuff, you remember that,

783
01:07:12.480 --> 01:07:19.360
and wearing a red, red leather jacket. And I was

784
01:07:19.400 --> 01:07:21.719
allowed to stay up late to watch that, and I

785
01:07:21.800 --> 01:07:25.639
was on Channel four at that time. Channel four was

786
01:07:25.679 --> 01:07:28.800
quite a new channel, and then a little bit irreverent,

787
01:07:29.000 --> 01:07:31.639
you know, a little bit, a little bit, a little

788
01:07:31.639 --> 01:07:34.039
bit dangerous, a little bit oo, a little bit r

789
01:07:35.719 --> 01:07:38.280
And before that we just had three channels, BBC one,

790
01:07:38.440 --> 01:07:43.559
BBC two, ITV. So I'm pretty sure during my lifetime

791
01:07:43.760 --> 01:07:47.559
there was three channels. And then in nineteen I think

792
01:07:47.719 --> 01:07:51.880
eighty might be an eighty one, but I think it

793
01:07:51.920 --> 01:07:58.239
was eighty, Channel four came along, and then in nineteen

794
01:07:58.400 --> 01:08:09.440
ninety five, no, nineteen ninety seven, nineteen ninety seven, we

795
01:08:09.719 --> 01:08:19.760
had Channel five. I remember seeing that being launched. I

796
01:08:19.840 --> 01:08:23.319
watched it as it was being launched, because I'm not

797
01:08:23.439 --> 01:08:25.640
sure if I got to see Channel four be launched.

798
01:08:27.800 --> 01:08:30.359
I mean those were the days. You know, if you've

799
01:08:30.439 --> 01:08:33.600
only got like three channels or four channels, when you

800
01:08:33.680 --> 01:08:37.079
get a fifth channel launched, it's a big deal. But

801
01:08:37.239 --> 01:08:39.600
if you're used to having well like we do now

802
01:08:40.399 --> 01:08:44.000
we have I don't know know how many. There are

803
01:08:45.520 --> 01:08:47.840
loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and

804
01:08:47.920 --> 01:08:51.920
loads and loads of channels. It's not a big deal anymore.

805
01:08:52.960 --> 01:08:57.479
I mean ITV is now called ITV one, there's ITV two,

806
01:08:58.760 --> 01:09:03.279
BBC one still bb and you've got BBC two. You

807
01:09:03.399 --> 01:09:06.359
got BBC three now, or you used to have BBC three.

808
01:09:06.399 --> 01:09:09.680
I think they got rid of it. Channel four, Channel five,

809
01:09:09.800 --> 01:09:14.439
and then loads of others. But Channel five launched, and

810
01:09:15.119 --> 01:09:19.760
someone I knew was actually launching it, like Tim Vine,

811
01:09:19.920 --> 01:09:22.439
who was a commedity. He is a comedian who I

812
01:09:22.560 --> 01:09:28.119
was friends with. He actually was the star of He

813
01:09:28.279 --> 01:09:31.399
was almost like the face of Channel five when it launched.

814
01:09:33.560 --> 01:09:36.239
It was so exciting and there was other comedians on there,

815
01:09:36.319 --> 01:09:41.359
and it was, yeah, brilliant. I'd like to rewatch that. Actually,

816
01:09:41.359 --> 01:09:44.079
I wonder if it's on YouTube the Channel five launch

817
01:09:45.039 --> 01:09:51.439
launch night, it might be. You know, I'm going to

818
01:09:51.520 --> 01:10:00.600
check that out. And yes, I don't have I don't

819
01:10:00.680 --> 01:10:09.439
have one favorite song in the eighties. I'm not going

820
01:10:09.520 --> 01:10:14.239
to say that all. I don't want to get stuck

821
01:10:14.279 --> 01:10:15.760
in the eighties. I don't want to get stuck. I

822
01:10:15.800 --> 01:10:19.439
don't want to be like that where I'm stuck in

823
01:10:19.560 --> 01:10:24.199
one decade. But the eighties was my decade. Really. It

824
01:10:24.279 --> 01:10:27.720
was like from the age of ten to twenty the eighties,

825
01:10:28.199 --> 01:10:30.880
but then between twenty and thirty was also my decade,

826
01:10:31.880 --> 01:10:33.920
the nineties because you know, I was very aware of

827
01:10:33.960 --> 01:10:37.000
the music during that period as well. Plus I was

828
01:10:37.039 --> 01:10:39.600
a DJ for the last part of the nineties, so

829
01:10:39.720 --> 01:10:45.239
I was, you know, had my finger on the well.

830
01:10:45.279 --> 01:10:48.079
I was kind of aware of what was what was

831
01:10:48.760 --> 01:10:56.000
popular at the time, not just what I liked. And

832
01:10:56.119 --> 01:10:59.560
then when we moved into the two thousands, you know,

833
01:10:59.600 --> 01:11:06.199
I had albums that I liked, but I kind of

834
01:11:06.720 --> 01:11:11.199
drifted a bit away from music. Thanks Fanny for Flappy

835
01:11:11.239 --> 01:11:20.880
years twoy tens, not really much. I just I've lost

836
01:11:21.399 --> 01:11:26.560
I've lost my way with music, with modern music, and

837
01:11:26.640 --> 01:11:29.439
that's really sad that I'm saying modern music makes me

838
01:11:29.720 --> 01:11:35.119
really feel old just saying it out loud, but I'm not.

839
01:11:35.680 --> 01:11:37.880
I don't want to be the person that says all

840
01:11:38.359 --> 01:11:42.880
music's hasn't been a decent music. It decent songs since

841
01:11:43.000 --> 01:11:44.880
nineteen eighty nine. You know. I don't want to be

842
01:11:45.039 --> 01:11:49.279
that person because it's not true. There's some great songs

843
01:11:49.319 --> 01:11:53.079
out now. I just haven't heard them, and millions of

844
01:11:53.119 --> 01:11:57.279
people are loving listening to them, so they can't. They've

845
01:11:57.279 --> 01:11:59.279
got to be good. I just may not be able to.

846
01:12:01.680 --> 01:12:03.680
I might not relate to some of the music, but

847
01:12:03.800 --> 01:12:06.000
I can't. I don't think I've ever related to anything

848
01:12:06.000 --> 01:12:10.800
I've listened to ever. Anyway, did you hear a turn

849
01:12:10.920 --> 01:12:15.520
down under We're women all and punder? I can relate

850
01:12:15.600 --> 01:12:20.520
to that turn around even now, and then I get

851
01:12:20.520 --> 01:12:23.159
a little bit men a good and never woon around

852
01:12:23.640 --> 01:12:26.279
turn around? I couldn't relate to that. I didn't know

853
01:12:26.279 --> 01:12:31.680
what they were singing about love song, I think, you know,

854
01:12:31.840 --> 01:12:34.960
I just I didn't listen to the lyrics. I just

855
01:12:35.159 --> 01:12:38.239
which evident because I don't remember them. I just if

856
01:12:38.279 --> 01:12:43.039
I liked a song, I like it. It almost doesn't

857
01:12:43.039 --> 01:12:44.800
even matter if it's in English or not. If I

858
01:12:45.039 --> 01:12:50.199
like a song, then it's because of the sound, because

859
01:12:50.239 --> 01:12:54.760
of the vocals, maybe because of the music. I don't know.

860
01:12:54.880 --> 01:12:58.239
It could be any any number of reasons. But I

861
01:12:58.319 --> 01:13:03.479
don't have to know the reason behind a song. Like

862
01:13:03.640 --> 01:13:06.640
my friend Luke, he used to listen to lyrics and

863
01:13:06.800 --> 01:13:09.199
he said, listen to lyrics. I said, I know the song.

864
01:13:09.600 --> 01:13:11.199
He said, but if you listen to the lyrics, I

865
01:13:11.279 --> 01:13:15.319
said no, But you've listened to this song for twenty years.

866
01:13:15.600 --> 01:13:18.000
I said, I don't know. You don't know what he's

867
01:13:18.279 --> 01:13:21.479
singing about. I said, no, no idea. I just like

868
01:13:21.560 --> 01:13:24.239
the song. He could be singing in Arabic would make

869
01:13:24.279 --> 01:13:28.199
no difference to me. It's almost like I don't take

870
01:13:28.239 --> 01:13:31.880
any notice of what's being said. Sometimes it's almost like

871
01:13:31.920 --> 01:13:37.159
a conversation with another person. And you wonder why I

872
01:13:37.279 --> 01:13:41.119
stopped being a counselor. Wow, I used to be a

873
01:13:42.039 --> 01:13:44.640
I think I was quite a good counselor. I tell

874
01:13:44.640 --> 01:13:47.880
you the one thing. I came from an angle which

875
01:13:48.199 --> 01:13:52.920
a lot of other counselors possibly don't, and it's like

876
01:13:53.000 --> 01:13:57.279
a non human angle. It's quite normal for people I've

877
01:13:57.439 --> 01:14:02.039
noticed too all my is to feel that maybe they

878
01:14:02.239 --> 01:14:09.359
know stuff and that they're the expert, and I've noticed

879
01:14:09.399 --> 01:14:12.279
that in life and with a counselor's like, you know all,

880
01:14:12.319 --> 01:14:15.000
I've got a degree, therefore I know about counseling, and

881
01:14:15.359 --> 01:14:20.079
which is true. They do as I did. But the

882
01:14:20.199 --> 01:14:22.439
fact is it didn't mean that I knew about the

883
01:14:22.520 --> 01:14:26.840
person in front of me, and no amount of degrees

884
01:14:26.960 --> 01:14:30.880
was really going to give that, or maybe it could.

885
01:14:30.920 --> 01:14:34.359
I just didn't have the natural ability to know. So

886
01:14:34.520 --> 01:14:39.000
what I did is because I didn't understand. I've never

887
01:14:39.159 --> 01:14:44.960
really understood anyone, just you know, the automatic, Oh, I

888
01:14:45.039 --> 01:14:49.439
get what that person's about. I understand where you're coming from. No,

889
01:14:49.720 --> 01:14:53.800
I don't, and I'll admit which a lot of people.

890
01:14:53.840 --> 01:14:56.239
I've never known anyone to admit it. I'll admit I

891
01:14:56.319 --> 01:15:05.560
don't understand people. But in that situation, I would try

892
01:15:05.640 --> 01:15:10.119
to understand the person. And that's what made me a

893
01:15:10.159 --> 01:15:14.000
little bit different from perhaps some of the other counselors.

894
01:15:14.239 --> 01:15:21.319
I'm not saying better, just different is I didn't understand

895
01:15:21.720 --> 01:15:25.119
their situation. Why has you gotta eat treats now while

896
01:15:25.159 --> 01:15:29.239
I'm doing this? I didn't understand them or their situation,

897
01:15:29.920 --> 01:15:32.399
So they had to explain it to me, and by

898
01:15:32.520 --> 01:15:38.359
explaining it to me. We both kind of got to

899
01:15:38.520 --> 01:15:43.520
understand what was going on because it was almost, I

900
01:15:43.560 --> 01:15:50.560
suppose for them, I wasn't he's hungry now, he wants

901
01:15:50.600 --> 01:15:57.840
his dinner now. It was almost that we were talking

902
01:15:57.920 --> 01:16:01.119
two different languages and they were trying to explain in

903
01:16:01.520 --> 01:16:07.119
a different language my language, what exactly they wanted to order.

904
01:16:07.920 --> 01:16:10.720
You know, I guess it's a little bit like being

905
01:16:11.560 --> 01:16:16.279
me being a call center operator and then phoning up

906
01:16:16.680 --> 01:16:20.319
their bank and they're getting through to me, whose my

907
01:16:20.439 --> 01:16:23.960
first language is a completely different language, and they're trying

908
01:16:24.039 --> 01:16:28.079
to kind of understand what I'm saying to them, which

909
01:16:28.199 --> 01:16:31.920
means I have to concentrate more. Will you? Will you

910
01:16:32.199 --> 01:16:41.359
please get off me? And because I came from a

911
01:16:41.560 --> 01:16:46.720
non a non knowing, I really wish it could. Could

912
01:16:46.760 --> 01:16:49.039
you just lay down there? Please? Mate? Please? Sorry, Vinny,

913
01:16:49.800 --> 01:16:51.840
you're not This is not the right time for you

914
01:16:51.960 --> 01:16:56.680
to be standing on the laptop. No, there's no good

915
01:16:56.720 --> 01:17:06.359
time for you to stand on a laptop. Really, Yes, yeah,

916
01:17:06.439 --> 01:17:08.720
that's kind of the way I went with that, in

917
01:17:08.840 --> 01:17:19.920
a sense of I didn't have preconceived opinions about someone,

918
01:17:21.319 --> 01:17:27.560
and I learned about them from them from what they

919
01:17:27.680 --> 01:17:32.279
said rather than from what I was just thinking in

920
01:17:32.359 --> 01:17:37.399
my own head. Yeah, I seem to do quite well

921
01:17:37.479 --> 01:17:42.880
for a while, seemed yeah, I think so. I don't know.

922
01:17:43.239 --> 01:17:45.880
I always promised myself when I was training that if

923
01:17:45.920 --> 01:17:48.960
I was no good, I would quit. Now I did quit,

924
01:17:49.960 --> 01:17:53.000
but I only quit because there was no work because

925
01:17:53.039 --> 01:17:57.600
of the basically government cuts. So I went from I

926
01:17:57.720 --> 01:18:02.479
think sixteen hours a week to three, which or four

927
01:18:03.000 --> 01:18:05.600
which wasn't. I was like one hundred pounds a week,

928
01:18:07.039 --> 01:18:11.880
which is not a Liverpool amount, which I ended up

929
01:18:11.920 --> 01:18:16.199
working in the course center. Again blind me. I haven't

930
01:18:16.199 --> 01:18:21.800
really answered your question. I hope haven't. I probably about

931
01:18:21.840 --> 01:18:24.840
two hundred and twenty nine times I've cut my toenails.

932
01:18:25.000 --> 01:18:27.880
I don't know, maybe more because that might be just

933
01:18:28.000 --> 01:18:35.199
discussed inside, maybe thousands a million times now. Barry asked me,

934
01:18:35.319 --> 01:18:38.359
have you ever been fishing? And I have? I have,

935
01:18:38.520 --> 01:18:40.920
I have, I have. I wish I hadn't, but I have.

936
01:18:43.039 --> 01:18:48.760
It was the coldest I have ever been in my

937
01:18:49.119 --> 01:18:53.239
entire life. And I don't know why I wanted to

938
01:18:53.319 --> 01:18:58.720
do it. I got no, there's no logical reason for it.

939
01:19:00.359 --> 01:19:05.760
I just had this this idea because I used to

940
01:19:05.800 --> 01:19:09.000
live there was a peer and because on the beach,

941
01:19:10.079 --> 01:19:12.359
I do miss the beach. To be honest, it wasn't

942
01:19:12.439 --> 01:19:14.600
very good beach, but I just liked having the sea

943
01:19:15.640 --> 01:19:21.600
and yeah, it was just something nice about being able

944
01:19:21.640 --> 01:19:26.680
to look out the sea. And I tell you what,

945
01:19:27.960 --> 01:19:32.920
regardless of what anyone's political opinions are, there's a certain

946
01:19:33.199 --> 01:19:38.640
very famous politician that visited this country recently and they

947
01:19:38.760 --> 01:19:42.279
said that this person said that the problem with our

948
01:19:42.319 --> 01:19:48.640
beaches is the wind. Those windmill electric windmill things are

949
01:19:48.720 --> 01:19:55.199
just plain ugly and they are ruined. They've ruined the seaside.

950
01:19:55.760 --> 01:20:00.600
I think they're horrible. I know they need did perhaps,

951
01:20:00.680 --> 01:20:12.239
but so yeah, I'm just moaning about windmills. Now they're

952
01:20:12.279 --> 01:20:14.560
not windmills whatever they called. Do you know those things,

953
01:20:14.600 --> 01:20:21.640
the electric things that go around, They're just horrible. They

954
01:20:21.680 --> 01:20:25.119
had n't Like twenty years ago. I went to Lower

955
01:20:25.199 --> 01:20:28.560
Stuffed to do a reflexology course and they had them there.

956
01:20:29.359 --> 01:20:33.439
That was horrible. I really like get rid of that thing. Man.

957
01:20:34.479 --> 01:20:39.600
It's just because we're such a tiny country and our

958
01:20:39.680 --> 01:20:44.199
beaches are small. The sea. I'm not saying all beaches small,

959
01:20:44.239 --> 01:20:47.880
but you know, it's nice to go to look One

960
01:20:47.880 --> 01:20:52.399
of the things I liked about the sea is the quietness,

961
01:20:53.119 --> 01:20:55.760
or maybe just being able to hit the waves. It's windy.

962
01:20:56.279 --> 01:20:59.479
On a really windy day, no one's around during the winter.

963
01:20:59.600 --> 01:21:03.079
You can just walk around and it's quite nice and

964
01:21:03.319 --> 01:21:07.840
have a little paddle. But to be able to look

965
01:21:08.000 --> 01:21:11.640
out to the sea and not have anything obstructing your

966
01:21:11.720 --> 01:21:15.119
vision is nice. I like that. When I was young,

967
01:21:15.199 --> 01:21:19.560
guys really liked that. It was quite nice to think

968
01:21:19.640 --> 01:21:22.079
as well, just to walk on a promenade and just

969
01:21:23.039 --> 01:21:27.800
have a little think. So for some reason, I was

970
01:21:27.880 --> 01:21:33.720
probably about thirteen at this time, I bought a fishing

971
01:21:33.800 --> 01:21:37.680
lot all the fishing equipment from my neighbor my friend's dad.

972
01:21:38.800 --> 01:21:45.119
I don't know why, but I did it. And it

973
01:21:45.319 --> 01:21:51.920
was the coldest, windiest, rainiest, freezing cold day in the

974
01:21:52.119 --> 01:21:56.960
history of mankind. I'm not dressed for it. I've got

975
01:21:57.039 --> 01:21:59.199
my Parker on, but I'm not dressed. I don't have

976
01:21:59.680 --> 01:22:03.520
the clothing. I had the proper equipment, but not the

977
01:22:03.560 --> 01:22:08.399
proper clothing. And on the hill down they sold bait

978
01:22:08.520 --> 01:22:10.640
and stuff, so I got some bait on the way there,

979
01:22:10.760 --> 01:22:13.319
and I didn't really know what I was doing, but

980
01:22:13.640 --> 01:22:21.800
I spent years ice cream man so loud I spent

981
01:22:22.119 --> 01:22:26.359
years doing going on to the pier and talking to

982
01:22:26.399 --> 01:22:28.960
the people fishing, so I kind of had a little

983
01:22:29.039 --> 01:22:31.479
I knew my way around it a little bit because

984
01:22:31.479 --> 01:22:33.960
we'll just chat with them, because that's what fishermen doing it.

985
01:22:34.039 --> 01:22:37.880
They're fishing. Once they've kind of put the thing off

986
01:22:37.920 --> 01:22:40.439
the pier, once they've chucked it out, they're just sitting

987
01:22:40.520 --> 01:22:43.319
there most of the time. So they talked to us,

988
01:22:43.439 --> 01:22:48.319
and you know, yeah, so I kind of kind of

989
01:22:48.359 --> 01:22:50.159
got to know a little bit how they were doing stuff.

990
01:22:50.239 --> 01:22:53.239
Sometimes i'd look after the after their rods when they

991
01:22:53.319 --> 01:22:56.279
went to the toilet and things like that, or went

992
01:22:56.359 --> 01:22:58.159
to get sant to eat because the peer had like

993
01:22:58.239 --> 01:23:02.159
a canteen or rearrested drawn thing on there. So, you know,

994
01:23:02.319 --> 01:23:05.760
I thought maybe I'd like to do it myself. On

995
01:23:05.880 --> 01:23:09.439
this occasion, there was no one else there, no one there,

996
01:23:10.359 --> 01:23:13.159
just me, and I really thought I was going to

997
01:23:13.199 --> 01:23:15.119
get blown out to see. And at one point I

998
01:23:15.199 --> 01:23:17.239
thought getting blown out to see would be much more

999
01:23:17.359 --> 01:23:21.239
enjoyable than standing on that pier with my fishing rod.

1000
01:23:22.760 --> 01:23:25.000
Bear in my mind, I can't even swim, just tells

1001
01:23:25.039 --> 01:23:29.399
you how much fun I was having. I came home,

1002
01:23:30.720 --> 01:23:33.800
I carried the stuff. I don't know why. I should

1003
01:23:33.840 --> 01:23:35.319
have just left the stuff on the pier, but I

1004
01:23:35.359 --> 01:23:47.680
didn't carried it home, and I could not believe how

1005
01:23:47.800 --> 01:23:53.319
cold I was. I got home eventually, and I'll admit

1006
01:23:53.760 --> 01:23:56.600
I didn't live far away. Honestly, it was like upper

1007
01:23:56.680 --> 01:23:59.600
Hill and up the road. It wasn't a long distance

1008
01:24:00.399 --> 01:24:06.800
twenty minutes maybe if that. And I was so cold

1009
01:24:06.920 --> 01:24:09.319
and that was never ever going to do that again.

1010
01:24:09.560 --> 01:24:13.359
I never have. And the next day I took the rods,

1011
01:24:13.960 --> 01:24:18.039
all the stuff back to my dad's my friend's dad's place,

1012
01:24:19.479 --> 01:24:21.760
and he said, I'm not buying them back off here.

1013
01:24:21.800 --> 01:24:23.840
I said, I don't care take him back. I don't

1014
01:24:23.840 --> 01:24:29.000
want him. So he got to sell them twice. He

1015
01:24:29.000 --> 01:24:31.359
couldn't believe it. He said that, I said, I don't.

1016
01:24:31.600 --> 01:24:34.600
I don't want them want to see him again. He said,

1017
01:24:34.640 --> 01:24:37.479
you already bought him a day ago, and I said, yeah,

1018
01:24:37.560 --> 01:24:43.920
I know. There you go to Arrah Ta Tar And

1019
01:24:44.039 --> 01:24:46.279
that was it. That was the end of my fishing career.

1020
01:24:47.239 --> 01:24:52.560
Now Luke downstairs, he loved fishing, that was his favorite thing.

1021
01:24:54.720 --> 01:24:58.720
But he kept asking me come fishing with me, and

1022
01:24:58.960 --> 01:25:01.159
he liked to do it on late and pond, not

1023
01:25:01.319 --> 01:25:04.920
ponds in lakes and stuff, you know, rivers and stuff.

1024
01:25:04.960 --> 01:25:08.760
He didn't do it off of any peers. I don't

1025
01:25:08.800 --> 01:25:10.399
think he might have done in the past, but we

1026
01:25:10.479 --> 01:25:14.600
don't have that around here. And I kept saying no, Now,

1027
01:25:14.720 --> 01:25:17.439
I bought him fishing equipment, rods and all kinds of

1028
01:25:17.479 --> 01:25:21.359
stuff so that he could go, because I thought it

1029
01:25:21.439 --> 01:25:23.439
was important that he went and done something he wanted

1030
01:25:23.479 --> 01:25:26.039
to do. He got him out and gave him an

1031
01:25:26.079 --> 01:25:31.119
interest because he loved doing that, but he just didn't

1032
01:25:31.119 --> 01:25:34.439
want to go on his own. And he's like, well,

1033
01:25:34.520 --> 01:25:38.479
please come with me. I said, no, that's the I

1034
01:25:38.640 --> 01:25:42.199
just can't think of. It's not something I'm ever going

1035
01:25:42.279 --> 01:25:46.600
to do. I'm never going to go fishing ever, apart

1036
01:25:46.640 --> 01:25:50.439
from the fact that I'm not really As I got older,

1037
01:25:50.560 --> 01:25:53.039
fishing doesn't really appeal to me. On different levels as well.

1038
01:25:54.560 --> 01:26:02.159
But I'm never outside of survival. Not go fishing ain't

1039
01:26:02.159 --> 01:26:06.000
gonna happen. But what if you had a What if

1040
01:26:06.039 --> 01:26:09.880
your grandson became a fisher person and he loved it

1041
01:26:09.960 --> 01:26:11.399
and he wanted you to go with him, wanted his

1042
01:26:11.520 --> 01:26:14.359
granddad to go with him. I haven't got any grand kids,

1043
01:26:15.039 --> 01:26:19.760
so it's not gonna happen in that situation, then yeah,

1044
01:26:19.760 --> 01:26:22.239
I probably would go, you know what I mean. It's

1045
01:26:22.279 --> 01:26:26.920
just I'm sure if my dad said, oh, please come

1046
01:26:27.039 --> 01:26:30.039
fishing with me and your little brother, you know, it's

1047
01:26:30.119 --> 01:26:33.000
just to be really nice if we can just have

1048
01:26:33.159 --> 01:26:36.000
the weekend away together. And we've never done anything like

1049
01:26:36.079 --> 01:26:40.239
this before, and I wouldn't want to go, but I

1050
01:26:40.359 --> 01:26:42.840
probably would go because it's my dad, it's my little brother,

1051
01:26:42.960 --> 01:26:48.119
and it's a one off situation. They'd have to be warm,

1052
01:26:48.840 --> 01:26:52.159
it'd have to be summer, and if we're staying in tents,

1053
01:26:52.840 --> 01:26:58.239
he'd have to put the tent up. Ideally it would

1054
01:26:58.279 --> 01:27:00.920
be in the grounds of a hotel. Hell, where we

1055
01:27:01.000 --> 01:27:04.159
can stay in a hotel. I don't want to be

1056
01:27:04.239 --> 01:27:13.279
camping really, I don't want to do no tending. So

1057
01:27:13.439 --> 01:27:21.840
maybe in that situation I could do it. Maybe. But

1058
01:27:22.000 --> 01:27:27.720
outside of that and that's not going to happen. The

1059
01:27:27.880 --> 01:27:31.119
chances of my dad phoning me up and saying hello, son,

1060
01:27:31.199 --> 01:27:32.760
that's what he calls me. He doesn't know my name,

1061
01:27:34.079 --> 01:27:35.880
doesn't know any of our names. He's causes us all

1062
01:27:35.960 --> 01:27:41.079
sun It's Caesar, isn't it. Apart from you know, my sister.

1063
01:27:41.199 --> 01:27:47.439
He calls her daughter and her kid's grandson and granddaughter.

1064
01:27:48.159 --> 01:27:53.159
He doesn't learn anyone's names, and he if he'd, you know,

1065
01:27:53.680 --> 01:27:55.600
if he did find out and say, oh, me and

1066
01:27:55.800 --> 01:28:00.760
your me and your brother are going to go out,

1067
01:28:01.279 --> 01:28:05.760
or me and Sun number three four, I sud number three, Yeah,

1068
01:28:06.000 --> 01:28:09.159
me and Sun number three. No, me and sud number

1069
01:28:09.239 --> 01:28:12.920
four want to go fishing? You're going to come with us?

1070
01:28:12.960 --> 01:28:18.399
And I'd say, I'd say no, I'll go on, Please

1071
01:28:19.359 --> 01:28:23.479
be your best friend. I might think, well, maybe, you know,

1072
01:28:26.239 --> 01:28:33.199
but there has to be rules. I'm not going to fish.

1073
01:28:33.359 --> 01:28:36.920
I'll sit there, but I probably won't, you know, I'll

1074
01:28:37.039 --> 01:28:45.680
just just hang around and hotel room during the summer,

1075
01:28:46.479 --> 01:28:51.479
but not not hot summer. I'm not sitting in the sun.

1076
01:28:52.119 --> 01:28:54.479
But it has to be, you know, a good kind

1077
01:28:54.520 --> 01:28:59.600
of weather time. Maybe spring, maybe autumn where it's still

1078
01:28:59.840 --> 01:29:08.199
like fairly mild, you know, and if it rains, got

1079
01:29:08.319 --> 01:29:12.640
shelter but it's not cold. I can't be doing winter.

1080
01:29:13.319 --> 01:29:16.760
Sitting outside in the winter not really my thing. Although

1081
01:29:17.000 --> 01:29:18.680
you know, I've got a bit of flabber now, and

1082
01:29:18.760 --> 01:29:23.560
I a bit of flabby blubber on me, which I

1083
01:29:23.600 --> 01:29:27.960
didn't have when I first fished. I probably, I mean

1084
01:29:29.640 --> 01:29:32.640
I was, I had just skinned, skin and bone. I

1085
01:29:32.680 --> 01:29:35.760
didn't have any weight on me when I was thirteen,

1086
01:29:37.399 --> 01:29:40.399
So perhaps I wouldn't get as cold now as I

1087
01:29:40.560 --> 01:29:44.920
used to. But I've noticed that since last year when

1088
01:29:44.920 --> 01:29:49.760
I lost a stone's fourteen pounds or more. Actually I

1089
01:29:52.199 --> 01:29:55.000
noticed last winter that I could feel the cold a

1090
01:29:55.039 --> 01:29:58.600
little bit more because I didn't have that insulation, that

1091
01:29:58.800 --> 01:30:04.720
walrus insulation that I normally have, my little seal protection.

1092
01:30:06.279 --> 01:30:10.279
You know, the blubber wasn't there. Well, there was less

1093
01:30:10.399 --> 01:30:13.560
blobber there. There's still plenty of blood. There's still plenty there,

1094
01:30:13.680 --> 01:30:21.039
I'll trust me, but it's a lot less because I

1095
01:30:21.199 --> 01:30:25.039
was sixteen stone before. I was about one hundred kilos.

1096
01:30:25.119 --> 01:30:29.520
Now I'm just under fifteen stone, which is probably, I

1097
01:30:29.560 --> 01:30:36.880
don't know, ninety five kilos maybe, so it's a fair

1098
01:30:37.279 --> 01:30:44.039
fair drop. But it really is five percent of my

1099
01:30:44.119 --> 01:30:48.920
body weight. It's quite a big percentage, isn't it five

1100
01:30:48.960 --> 01:30:58.359
percent to lose? Yeah, that's if it's correct. I don't know, so,

1101
01:30:58.640 --> 01:31:02.479
thank you, Hope and Barrier. It only two questions, so

1102
01:31:02.640 --> 01:31:07.000
I didn't really have a lot of That's why I

1103
01:31:07.159 --> 01:31:13.159
recording is so sure it's only ninety two minutes long. Wow,

1104
01:31:15.119 --> 01:31:22.840
oh dear, but thank you, thank you for your messages,

1105
01:31:22.920 --> 01:31:30.000
thank you for your for your questions. So it's half

1106
01:31:30.119 --> 01:31:35.640
past six. Vinnie's not as agitated as he was a

1107
01:31:35.720 --> 01:31:38.319
few minutes ago when he was looking for something to eat,

1108
01:31:38.479 --> 01:31:40.600
So I might go and get his dinner for him,

1109
01:31:43.359 --> 01:31:49.960
and then I'm gonna have to get myself something to eat.

1110
01:31:50.000 --> 01:31:59.159
But I don't know quite what. I don't know what well.

1111
01:31:59.199 --> 01:32:02.920
I wonder if that curtain's been delivered yet. It's not

1112
01:32:03.000 --> 01:32:05.600
actually a curtain, but it's it's kind of like a

1113
01:32:08.079 --> 01:32:09.760
I don't know what they call it, like a blanket,

1114
01:32:09.840 --> 01:32:16.199
really heavy duty blanket thing, but I don't know. Apparently

1115
01:32:16.239 --> 01:32:19.720
it's really heavy, according to the reviews, very heavy. So

1116
01:32:21.239 --> 01:32:23.560
I'm going to probably have to get some some kind

1117
01:32:23.600 --> 01:32:28.640
of way of attaching it to the wall, but it

1118
01:32:28.760 --> 01:32:32.760
depends on how big it is. It's got holes in

1119
01:32:32.840 --> 01:32:35.920
the sides of it, so you can put nails or

1120
01:32:36.319 --> 01:32:40.760
like things in, but I don't want it permanently on there.

1121
01:32:40.760 --> 01:32:43.399
I want to be able to lift it up, so

1122
01:32:45.199 --> 01:32:47.239
you know, I don't want to block the window the

1123
01:32:47.279 --> 01:32:57.439
whole time. I will just see when it gets it yeah.

1124
01:32:59.159 --> 01:33:00.760
I mean I could have just looked at how what

1125
01:33:00.880 --> 01:33:04.079
the size was when I purchased it, but I didn't.

1126
01:33:04.680 --> 01:33:06.600
I've also got some toilet role coming as well, but

1127
01:33:06.640 --> 01:33:13.920
I think that's coming tomorrow. Yeah, it's sixty one hundred

1128
01:33:13.920 --> 01:33:16.960
and twenty packs. I think one hundred and twenty toilet

1129
01:33:17.039 --> 01:33:24.600
rolls last ages, they really do. So I'm going to go.

1130
01:33:24.840 --> 01:33:30.840
So thank you very very much for listening. And remember

1131
01:33:30.880 --> 01:33:33.119
