#127 Let me bore you to sleep - Jason Newland (12th April 2019)

Hello, hello, it's Mr Creepy Voice is back. Welcome to let me bore you to sleep. That's it? No website? Nothing.

I got rid of everything. Yep. So only listen to this when you can safely close your eyes and I'm going to bore you today or tonight by telling you all about my internet adventures.

That's what I'm going to do just over the last few days. And yeah, where do I start? I'll just let you know if you haven't listened to me before, then I, the point of these recordings is that I bore you to sleep. And, you know, I'll just talk about stuff.

I suppose I'm a fairly quiet talker anyway, but when I record these quite often, it's late at night, early hours of the morning. So a little bit more quieter because I don't want to disturb neighbours or anything. And in my home, where I live, so I could just sit one of those sentences, couldn't I? Just where I live, or in my home, where I live, in the town where the building is, where I'm sitting now, it's quite a sparsely furnished room, the living room.

Therefore, it can get a little bit echoey, a little bit. And I think possibly my voice may carry a little bit. But the reason I've got a, I don't know, it's not so much that I live kind of a Zen lifestyle.

It's more, I don't know, I used to have quite a few bookcases in here. I used to have a sofa in here. And I had Andre, he destroyed the sofa.

And one day, I think it was two years ago, a mouse appeared in my room, in the living room. And I couldn't catch it. I was trying to catch it.

There was so much stuff. So in the end, I took everything out of the room bit by bit, with the hope of being able to put a humane mouse catcher down. And basically what happened is there was other mice in the building.

The mouse accidentally entered my home, because I've got Andre. He's a little ferret. And trust me, a mouse would not want to come anywhere near him, if he could avoid it.

So he kind of, the mouse seemed to have got trapped here. Oh, excuse my coughing. That's nice, nice and relaxing, isn't it? I might blow my nose in a minute.

That'll relax you. And in the end, the mouse kind of got out and that was it. The vermin would not want to be in this building.

Well, not in my flat, because of Andre. It's as simple as that. This is his territory.

And you know, he wouldn't allow it to frighten anything away, which he did. So it must have just, I don't know how it got in. Might have even come in the front door, which would be a bit weird.

I don't remember giving it keys. But basically you'd use stilts to reach the keyhole. And mind you, if it could reach a keyhole, it could have climbed through the letterbox.

It's a weird situation, actually, because, I'll talk about it another time, but that mouse really wanted to get out of this building. Did not want to stay here. It was in the room, in the front room.

I went to bed, and I could hear it scratching all night long, trying to get out of the front room. Like a wenchy bag. And whenever I went to open the door, the mouse was nowhere to be seen.

So what I thought, I started to think, am I seeing things? Am I hearing things? This is weird. So I set a camera up, and I videoed, I basically set it up, maybe it was the phone or a webcam or something, and just pointed it towards the front door, the bottom of the front door, that whole area, and left it on for a few hours, and I went to bed. So I wake up in the morning, and I watch, re-watch the video, and it was just one little mouse.

And you'd be amazed at how slowly they'd move if there was no one around. Seriously, it was walking between, from one side of the room to the other, having it all sit down, getting a flask of coffee out, having a cup of coffee, you know, took his hard hat off, put it back on, and carried on with his job, like to get to the other side of the room. It's like, what? Seriously, it's like, what? And it destroyed the bottom of the door on the inside, completely ripped the door, the bottom of the door off.

He didn't completely rip the bottom, I'm exaggerating. There wasn't a hole in the door, a big massive hole, you know, he'd walk in and think, my God, someone's kicked the door in. It wasn't like that, you know, but he had scraped the wood or the enamel or whatever you want to call it that's on the front of the door at the bottom, so it's made a bit of a mess.

Plus, I don't really, I don't want to live where everything's really tidy, where everything's kind of perfect, and the city's there, the city's over here, there's another city over there, and, you know, I mean, I could end up with this looking like a really lovely living room, but then I'd be end up eating on my lap. I mean, with a plate, obviously, I don't want to just put the food on my lap and eat it from there, and it'd burn my legs, wouldn't it, probably, but I suppose I could have it on a tray, or a plate on a tray, I mean, not just stick it all on a tray, unless you clean the tray.

That's the thing about McDonald's, is if I get a McDonald's meal, and I don't go into McDonald's very often, I mean, literally really, really rarely now, a couple of times a year, which is strange, but it's just the way it's worked out.

I didn't plan it, it wasn't in my diary, it wasn't my to-do list of things to do, to accomplish, but I just don't go in there very often. But this, if I get a meal, let's say a quarter pounder and chips, quarter pound of cheese, cheese, quarter pound of cheese, chips, and a banana shake, or a strawberry shake, that used to be my thing. That used to be the thing.

To be fair, I wasn't that bothered about the fries, because I never really, never really loved the McDonald's fries. Because that's the thing, if you're not from England, you know, if you live in another country, let's say America, for example, I don't know, I know more about America than I do about probably any other country apart from this one, because of the cultures, and you know, because just the kind of, you know, television and movies and stuff, although that's not necessarily the best education. And when you, when McDonald's came here, because it wasn't a McDonald's where I lived, I lived in a, I moved around quite a lot, but I kind of settled down at the age of seven to the age of 15.

So I had eight years where I was living, like I wasn't living in the same place the whole time, but I moved one, two, three times, but I was probably about, yeah, eight years old when I moved the last time. So I would say probably eight and a half, maybe even nine. Yeah, maybe even nine I moved into the bigger house, so let's say nine for argument's sake.

No, it's earlier than that though, because my little brother was born when I was eight years old, and he would have, he was still a baby when we moved. That's part of the reason why we moved, because there was four children and two adults in a three-bedroom house, and it wasn't really ideal, although I did love that house. I didn't love it, I didn't want to marry it.

I sometimes wonder, would I want to marry Andre? Just, obviously not in a kind of a weird way, but there's only, it's an un-weird way to want to marry a ferret, but it's just like, who do I love the most in the whole wide world? And it's Andre, my little boy. But then I suppose really, he's my son, so you can't really marry your son, can you? I suppose there are parts of the world where you can do such things, but yeah, not here. I mean, here, but not anywhere in England, I don't think.

Yeah, as far as I know. But with McDonald's, I want to marry a ferret. That's weird, isn't it? If anything, it just might annoy people, so it might be worth doing it for that.

I wish I could find a serum to keep him, I don't know, the same age forever, you know? His uncle was another ferret. His uncle passed away a few months ago. I think it was like January over time.

And he could practically, he could hardly walk for about a year or six months, but he still had that energy, the cheekiness and the interest, that sort of, the excitement for discovering new things and, I don't know, just exploring, that kind of thing. So in McDonald's, he's a thing. See, I don't normally tell people this stuff, but this is the kind of stuff that's in my head, but I don't share it.

Maybe that's where it should stay, but it's okay, I don't mind. And so I'll get a tray. I'm sure there was a time where you didn't get a tray at McDonald's, they'd just give you the stuff and they'd be in these polythene boxes and you'd just take it.

But maybe they used to be trays, I forget. The first time I went to McDonald's was in London when I was on a school trip and I was probably 14. And I was visiting, well, as part of the trip, it was an RE trip, like religious education trip.

So we traveled to London on a coach and we visited a synagogue, a mosque, a, I think, a Catholic church, possibly a Sikh temple and a Buddhist center, the London Buddhist Center, which is in Bethnal Green. The only thing that really stood out to me was the Buddhist. I liked all the old stuff, like the Catholic church, because it's the old church, and then I think for me, they actually showed us some old scripture that was thousands of years old or something.

And with the Buddhist center, I suppose I was quite interested in Eastern philosophy and because of the martial arts and having watched so many Eastern films, which were mainly where the martial arts films came from, China and Peking and, I don't know, so many different places, I guess, that they were made. And in a lot of the martial arts films, there was meditation, you know, it was kind of part of it. And the Shaolin monks, of course, they were Buddhists, but also some of the most famous, they're famous for being some of the greatest martial arts experts, like Shaolin Kung Fu and Shaolin Boxers.

So yeah, I kind of, I suppose I connected those two together a little bit. So I was interested in the Buddhism from that perspective, from a martial arts perspective. And I remember we, as a class, we all sat down and did some meditation.

That's probably only for a few minutes, but we sat, you know, in whatever posture we were able to manage. I've never been massively flexible, to be fair. And they said, could you sit down on the floor? I said, no, I don't want to.

I want to stand up. I want to lean against the post. I said, well, can you just maybe stay in one place? And no, I want to move around.

I was very inflexible. And the, what are you doing without a cup of tea? I'm thirsty, I need, I want a cup of tea. Yeah, but we don't even have a kettle in here.

Ah, I brought a flask. Where'd you get a flask from? I borrowed it off that mouse. Oh, oh yeah, Bob.

Oh yeah, you've met him too. Yeah. And then we did some meditation and it was like a little bell was ding, ding.

And I think they gave us all a bit of incest each and we all lit that up. And it was really good. I was quite into incest for a while, but just kind of gave it up.

It was a bit, sometimes it's a bit smelly. It's a little bit, you know, sort of burns and you can get different types, different like smells. So there's a company called Nag Champa.

And I used to work in a Buddhist shop, actually, when I was older, or two, two in fact. And I always had some incest on the go. That place full of incest, it was like, you could smell.

And as you walked past the shop, you could smell the incest. You know, you can actually smell it. And, but it wasn't just the incest that was going on within the shop.

There's also incest upstairs. I was never got to see that, because that was like more for storage. And you know, the staff would go up there and indulge in a bit of incest, the kind of, there's always one on the go, seriously.

It's like, wherever you go, like bit of incest here, bit of incest there. It's like, and then the smell would mix together. So the one I went, the first shop I worked in, had been going for about 10 years, maybe longer.

And the whole place smelled beautiful. It really, really did smell. And that was like 10 years worth of incest.

And it really smelled good. But it didn't smell like any one stick that was burnt, you know, it was just the whole, just a mixture. It was very strange.

Also, here's a weird thing. Every now and then, we'd get a whiff of stale beer and cigarette smoke, but mainly stale beer. And I remember saying, oi, what on earth is that? He said, oh yeah, this is the person I was talking to.

And I said, what do you mean, oh yeah? He said, well, this building that we're in now, because the building was actually downstairs was the shop. And it was also a cellar downstairs as well. But that was what wasn't a cellar, it was a cellar, but, you know, it was used as a storage room for the stock.

And, but upstairs, which was a separate entrance, was where the Buddhist Center was. And that was two stories high. But apparently, the downstairs bit used to be a pub, used to be a bar.

And they said it's, yeah, every now and then you get a whiff of stale beer. How's that even possible? It hadn't been a bar for like 100 years or something. I'm making that bit up, but I don't know how long.

Been a long time. It was, you know, I don't know. It's a long, long, long time.

It was probably during the Ming Dynasty or something like that. It's, you know, it's going back. There were pirates, you know, the original country pirates, you know, with the parrots on their, on their elbows and stuff.

Parrots for hands, not parrots for hands, was it? Yeah, anyway, pirates these days aren't quite as friendly, I don't think. Didn't realize, this is something, it's not particularly useful information, but there was, where were they from? There was a, like, ships used to come here to, I don't know, I forget which part of the country it was. And they used to kidnap people and used them as slaves, sold them on as slaves, English people, just, or British people, they might have been called back then, I don't know.

They used to just get, you know, maybe they'd walk out of the pub drunk and they'd just, they'd wake up as a slave on a galley ship somewhere. And they weren't getting paid, they were literally, and they'd get sold abroad somewhere. So, wow.

I read, I was listening to the radio last night. And all this Brexit stuff, there was this bloke, this man came on and he was talking, it's LBC that I listen to, and it was a man who phoned up and he said that he thinks Cornwall should have a Brexit. Cornwall should be independent.

And then he said that everybody who voted to leave England should move, leave England to leave Europe, should move to Cornwall. Even if men standing by side by side with each other and you're not having much room to do anything. It was an interesting conversation.

It's like from one point he wanted independence for where he lives, because it's, I suppose it's a nice place and, you know, he, you know, he wants it to be beautiful again. And, well, I don't know what his words were, but and he said that tourism has ruined the landscape or something. And then he said he wanted 17 million people moving there.

That's a lot of litter. You know what I mean? So in McDonald's, there's always people in the garden even this time of night. It's like four o'clock in the morning.

I don't want people to be in bed. I know I'm not, but why isn't everybody else in bed snoring? I do love a good snore. I am, and this is something I've done for years and years and years.

So I'm in McDonald's. I'm at the counter. By the way, I don't use those machines.

You know, those machines, you, I don't know if you have them where you are, but they have the touchpad machine screens where you order your food and you pay for it there and then you collect it. You get a ticket with a number. Used to be like that in the unemployment office.

You get a number or the housing benefit office, you'd get a number, you'd wait for hours and hours. Or doctors, I think, used to do that as well. Or the meat counter or the fish counter in supermarkets.

They used to be like that, the delicatessen. They'd give you a number and you'd wait. I don't know if it's still like that, but, wow, yeah, they do that.

There's another system, Argos, it's a shop. I don't know if you have it where you are, but it's, Argos is this, it's a catalogue shop. And it used to be really good because, well, it was, it's very much like the bookies.

Like a betting shop. And so you'd go in and they had exactly the same little pens that they had in the betting shops. Tiny little blue pens, I think they were.

And they weren't, you know, they kind of, you felt like you were a giant while you was holding it. Seriously, tiny little, I haven't, how are you supposed to write with it, I don't know. But I suppose it was, it was really built just for, to make a cross or a tick, you know.

But there used to be these pieces of paper which you'd write on them what you wanted, the number. And you'd take the number which is below the picture of the item that you want out of the catalogue. And it was a proper paper catalogue with hundreds of pages.

Those of you that are not sure what books are, or catalogues, it's a little bit like a webpage, except you can wipe your arse with it. No, that's not a good one. Okay, it's, how would you describe a paper to somebody that, who's never seen it, you know, perhaps have had the internet their whole life.

And they've never actually read a magazine or read a newspaper, but they've got all of the information from websites. And that will happen, it will come a time when, I don't know how to explain it. Anyway, they were glossy, they were glossy magazines.

I remember my, I used to love looking through the catalogues which my stepmum had. And she had quite a few different ones. And I used to read it.

And she'd be doing something else, watching telly and I'd be there. And I'd be pretending to look at the toys. But actually I was looking at the bras.

It's true. It's, I'm not, you know, quite an early age as well. Just, I think it's just, I could never figure out how to get her to buy me one though.

So how do you explain that? I bought a BMX bike once. I've got this memory of having a skateboard, but I don't think I ever did. I think it's one of those memories that it's just a lie.

It's not, the thing is, even though it's a lie, even though it's like a made-up story in my memory, that I don't think ever really happened, I'm still really rubbish on it. That's the sad thing about it. I don't think I ever actually had a skateboard, but in my memory I keep falling off.

Why can't I have a memory, if it's going to be made up, where I'm doing somersaults and winning medals and stuff? That don't make sense. It's not even a real memory. Why have I got to be rubbish in a made-up memory? Okay, so Inargos.

Google it if you don't know what it is. A-R-G-O-S. It's like a retail catalogue store.

Anyway, how it used to be like a betting shop, because you'd look at a picture of something, you didn't get to see it, just the picture. You couldn't touch it, couldn't feel it, couldn't shake it, nothing. Because all you do is you go up to the counter, you hand a sliver of paper over, the same as you do in a betting shop, and you basically take a punt.

And that's what it used to be like. Because 30-odd years ago, I'm sure now the quality's a lot better, but the amount of stuff that I bought from Inargos and I had to take it back, because it didn't work when I was in my teens. This is supposed to vibrate, but it's not.

But sir, what is that? No, don't worry about it. I bought a tape recorder once and it didn't work. Bought a stereo system, didn't work.

It just, honestly, it was really a case of most of the stuff did work, to be fair. But I had a few problems over the years, but not a huge amount. But anyway, you go in there, so it would be like a bit of a punt, like a betting shop.

You'd hand a ticket in, you'd pay your money, and you took your chances, basically. And they would call out the number. And as technology increased, there'd be a screen with a number on it.

And it'd flash when your number was ready. 406. And someone might say, 406.

But another person might say, 406. It depends on what their voice was. And I'd go and collect it, and I'd be like, oh, I wonder what it's going to be.

Now, you knew what it was going to be, but it's like, is it going to work? Does it need batteries? If it needs batteries, does it have batteries with it? You know, all that kind of stuff. So now it's all screens in Argos. You press the screens.

The same in a job centre, all screens. You press the screens, all computer screens. And now it's the same in, yeah, it's the same in McDonald's, and it's the same in my doctor's surgery.

Screens. That's a good idea. Not only did you get loads of people that are ill, all in one room together, coughing and spluttering over each other.

Now you get them all to touch the same stuff. I touch that, touch that number. You touch that number.

So what's your cholera? What's your, what you got? Okay. Hep, you got, okay. You've got flu.

Yeah, okay. Let's all mix it all together. Yeah.

I won't touch the screens. I won't. And if I have to, and the only ones I touch is Argos, and I'll touch it with my knuckle or with the, what's that bit in the middle of your finger? Not the knuckle.

It's not the end of the finger, but it's the bit where your fingers bend, but it's the outside. I don't think anyone's noticed that it's there. Am I the first person to notice that? It's the joints, isn't it? But what are they called? Anyway, I tend to use that if I can.

The same as I'm on a bus. I use that part. I don't use my fingertips.

My fingertips are specific for picking my nose. No, they're not. Not specific for picking my nose.

They're specific for that. But I like to keep my hands clean, so I try not to use my fingertips. Not for everything, because that'd be weird, wouldn't it? Trying to cook with my elbows.

If you don't need to, you don't, do you? But I don't use my fingers. I will not touch the screens on somewhere where I'm going to be eating. I'm going to be using my hands with food.

I'm not touching something where, statistically, how many people wash their hands with the beans of the toilet, you know? So I just say I don't want to touch that. And definitely not in a doctor's surgery. I'm never ever going to do that.

And so, yeah, I just refuse. I do. I just go straight up to the counter in McDonald's.

And they don't know what to do, because they're so busy working, it's like there's this empty space where a till is. They don't expect anybody to want to pay at the till and order. And I do.

I've only been in twice since I've had the thing, but I think they're both just for cheeseburgers. I might have had a quarter pound of cheese, although I might have just had a, pretty sure I had a strawberry shake, and it was so refreshing. Yeah, and also doctor's surgery, I walk straight up to the counter.

The idea is you book an appointment on the phone or online or whatever, and then you book yourself in when you get there. So the people at the counter don't have to do as much, maybe, or they can focus on other things other than part of being a receptionist is to, reception, isn't it? I don't know if that's a correct, a correct kind of title. What do you do during the day? I reception, I reception people, being receptive, receptionist, receptive, being receptive, being available to others, maybe.

So, when I'm in McDonald's, this has been happening for a long time, you get the, it used to be that they would put everything and it would be all kind of sealed up and it'd be on a tray. Now, the burgers in a cardboard thing, and this is a cheeseburger and it's just wrapped up in kind of, I'll tell you what the cheeseburger's wrapped up in, it's very similar to the toilet paper I had at school that I'd see through tracing paper kind of stuff. It's pretty much the same.

I think that's what happened is they, maybe school, I don't know, school we might still use it, but when I think about that toilet paper, I think the toilet paper actually smelt worse than what I was using it for. It was just, had a weird smell about it. You know, if anything was recycled, that was.

So, I, when I get a tray and the food is handed to me on the tray, and there's usually an advert, like a piece of paper, like a big, big piece of paper advertising, I don't know, Monopoly or whatever they're doing to entice young children to eat unhealthily. And I, with the fries, if there's any hanging out and touching the tray, I can't eat them. I have to chuck them out because I don't know if they wash the trays or not.

I don't know how often they wash the trays, but I'm not chanting it. I am not chanting it. And that's not all I've got to say about McDonald's.

In England, fries, French fries, used to be these crisps, which were what you call chips. And they were actually called French fries and they were chip, what you call in America rather, chips. Do I have to go through the whole cooking process? You know, things you get in bags that are kind of made of potato, partly salt and flavoured and they're quite yummy actually.

So we call what you in America call French fries, chips, but we have big chips or a lot bigger than the ones that you get, you know, like a normal chip. I don't know what a normal chip size would be. I would say a normal chip has got to be four times thicker, if not bigger than a French fry, I would say.

Mind you, in the 90s, they started doing the, what is those chips with skins on? I don't know. I didn't dislike it. I mean, you know, especially if it's free, I'll try anything that's free.

Bogey salad, yeah, brilliant. If it's free, I'll, you know, get a billet de chutney. But I don't, I'm just remembering, I suppose if, when I was like in my 30s or late 20s, because I was living in London, there's a lot more choice as far as eating.

I mean, it's just thousands and thousands of places to eat. If you go anywhere pretty much in London, there's always somewhere to eat and probably hundreds of thousands of restaurants actually. I might be exaggerating, I don't know.

Yeah, I kind of miss that a little bit. So, I've not actually spoken about what I was going to speak about, which was the websites. After days and days of working on the websites, trying to get everything to work, really trying, really, and it didn't come together.

It didn't work how I wanted it to be. And out of frustration, I deleted one of the websites, then called up the host, can you reinstate it? No, it's gone. So I pay $150.

Okay. And yeah, I deleted quite a few of my Let Me Boy To Sleep recordings, because I was trying to make it a premium podcast. So not all of them, but just like the archive would be, you know, charged to listen to the old sessions.

Well, it didn't come to plan. So I've got to go back. I didn't have to, but I've gone back and re-uploaded all of the Let Me Boy To Sleep recordings fresh, from one all the way up to this one, well, up to 126.

And this will be the next one. And but it's all up to date now, hopefully online and it should be fine. So yeah, I'm gonna, I've made a few changes.

I've got, I've suspended my Facebook account and my Twitter account. Because I just want to have a break from that. So don't feel if you are listening still and don't think that I've blocked anyone or deleted anyone because I haven't, I've just reactivated or deactivated.

Yeah, deactivated the accounts. And there's a guy apart of me who wants to live a bit more in the real world a little bit more. You know, perhaps go out a little bit more.

And having spent so much time working on the websites and getting quite good at it actually. I'm quite, I can put together a website quite well, quite quickly as well really. It feels a little bit like, I've got this electric item, whether it's a watch or a radio or you know, whatever it might be.

And it's very complicated to take apart. It's even more complicated to put back together because you have to be really careful and everything. But then eventually I can basically do it so much quicker.

It's easy. It's easier and easier and easier and easier and easier. A bit like sleeping really I suppose when you listen to my boring voice.

And I'm a little bit like that now with building websites. I can just, I've used pretty much every single host that there is, every single type of building platform. That you can get online including WordPress and various others.

So, but I kind of thought what's the point in me having a podcast website when the podcast is already available on Podbean and other places. This podcast is available in loads of different places, lots of different podcast hosts, including places that aren't even online. You know, they're on apps, they're on phone, you know, podcast apps.

So they're not even registered on the internet. Like if you go online and let you search, sort of cast boxes in one such app. But there's quite a few.

It's like wow it's on there but it's not coming up on an ordinary Google search. So I don't really know what that was about. So I got rid of everything really.

All the, I can't try to cut down the expenses as well, which is part of what I was trying to do. So now my only expenses regarding this is 50, 60, 60, I don't know, maybe 70 to 80 dollars a month possibly. So it's gone down a bit.

I'm not sure whether to keep my SoundCloud podcast because I do get quite a few people, or not a lot, but I get people liking me and I go to their page and they're trying to sell me SoundCloud listens. Like, you know, me to pay them 30 pound or 40 pound and they'll give me 10,000 listens of my podcast. So I do wonder whether SoundCloud do that themselves, whether they're, when I hear, when I see that I kind of wonder are there any legitimate people actually listen to my podcast because I just don't get any feedback.

I think I got one comment or one message in the last year on the SoundCloud. And from someone called Nuggets, is it Nuggets? And yeah, I go to some SoundCloud channels, podcasts, and there's loads of comments, loads of, so I don't, I don't get it. I don't really know what's going on.

It's, I appreciate that people do go just to Facebook and Twitter to, well, my mainly Facebook to kind of contact me and stuff, but I'm not on there at the moment. I might come back, I might wake up tomorrow and think, am I gonna start Facebook again? Yeah, Facebook, yeah. Possible, likely, I'm not sure, but possible.

So I need to, in my mind, I need to sort of change my thinking from trying to turn this online podcast work that I do, these sessions I make, instead of trying to turn that into a living, you know, earning a living out of it, but still keeping it free, which is what I wanted to do, but maybe having a few bits that I charge for, but keep still keeping, you know, 90% of everything I do free. I might just, I think I'm just maybe going to not pursue that line of thinking anymore and just make decisions, hope that people benefit. I mean, as it is, people vote with their feet, that's what I was always told.

You know, if you've got a restaurant or if you've got a nightclub, people let you know if they like it because they come, keep coming back. But if you've got a restaurant and no one's coming in, there's a reason for that. Especially if it used to be busy, it might not be anything bad, but there's a good chance it's because they don't, less often they don't like about the restaurant, or it might not be that, but, you know, financials and stuff, but it's kind of, you know, like a comedy club or a nightclub or going to see someone in concert, you know, people buy tickets.

If no one buys a ticket to go and see someone, then there's a reason for that. So it's, you know, I'll just keep doing this and, yeah, just keep doing it. I'm gonna do some other stuff as well, but I need to, I feel I need to start inputting a bit more into my inside me, that sounds bad, and sort of reading a bit more maybe, you know, and yeah, you can only, because at the moment I've got a toothpaste tube and I'm really kind of putting way too much effort trying to get the toothpaste out of this tube when I've got another 20 tube, you know, so that I can break into.

I've got loads, I've got enough toothpaste probably for the next two years, but I'm still like, oh, I want to get more out of this one. The only way to get more out of it is if something's put into it, it needs to have toothpaste squirted inside it. So then there's toothpaste to squirt out, but then that would entail getting a new toothpaste tube, putting them together like a, some kind of weird toothpaste orgy, and then filling one, the old one, from the new one.

So I might as well just use a new one, you know, I mean, if you had a pint of milk, you had an old pint of milk and it was empty, you just, it was a plastic container and it was emptied, you know, you'd just drunk the last bit of it, went to the shop and bought a new carton of milk, a new pint of milk, you wouldn't empty it into the old carton, would you? Because even though you might have drunk out of that other carton, the idea of putting new fresh milk into an old carton is a bit grim. It's like blowing your nose on the curtains. It's just, it just doesn't seem right, unless it's someone else's home, but yeah.

So I'm gonna leave you on that lovely visual, have a lovely, lovely day, lovely evening, lovely wake, and my plan is to revisit you again and be here again tomorrow, and a lot more regularly, hopefully, hopefully every day. So just come back wherever you've come from to listen to me, whether you're on Spotify, Spreaker, SoundCloud, iHeartRadio, Radio FM, Stitcher, you know, TuneIn, so many different ones, iTunes of course, or Apple Podcast, as I think they're more known. I thank you.

Lots of love. Bye.
