Hello and welcome to Let Me Bore You to Sleep. My name is Jason Bartholomew Stuart St Andrews Horatio Poblibolibom Newland. Welcome and I hope you're well.
So only listen when you can. Safely close your eyes. Oh, and my back is hurting.
It's not as bad as last night. And no, it's not self inflicted. I didn't try and do that thing again that I used to try and do when I was a teenager.
Nope. Vertebrae stopped me from being able to accomplish that. Now I don't know if it's because I haven't got painkillers here because I take painkillers for my arthritis in my lower back.
Oh no, he's talking about illness. I don't want to hear about illness. No, I'm not talking about illness.
I'm just saying that it might be the reason. But I don't understand it, right? I've been walking more. I said walking.
I've been walking more since I've been on holiday than I normally do at home. And I try and go for a long walk every day, specifically for my lower back, because it helps. But this doesn't seem to be helping.
And I'm walking for miles. Once the heat goes down, so once after about four, five, six or whatever, five, five-ish until early hours in the morning, I could be walking around, not constantly, but I go for long walks all the way down the beach and back and just have a look around. So I'm covering quite a few miles every day.
But it doesn't seem to be doing having the same effect, which is weird because I thought with the heat, it might not be. It might not be the arthritis. Maybe it's, I had a massage the other night.
Well, last night, the night before last night, you know, a proper massage. And again, you don't want to say that you should learn from your mistakes. But last time I was here, I had my rib broken by a masseur pushing on my upper back.
Well, this time I had someone pushing on my lower back or the middle of my back and it hurts. I guess the reason why I didn't break anything is there's nothing there to break other than the spine. And they didn't press on the spine.
It was the sides. And that's just all muscle, isn't it? Well, it's supposed to I think. So yeah, it's I just woke it up.
It's 105 in the afternoon here, which means it's 07.05 in the morning in the UK, the UK, United Kingdom. So yeah, apparently I shouldn't do this really, because it's part of the reason I came away is to get away from the news, to get away from England's negativity, just just for a little while, just for a little while, just to get away from it. Yeah, I seem to find myself listening to the radio and going online and just checking the the news.
You know, part of part of the reason that is because there's nothing on television to watch. I managed to I can watch Netflix on my iPad. And I can watch Amazon on my iPad as well.
So there's a few things I had to do to get a VPN to allow me to watch some stuff because it was saying you're not allowed to watch that in this country. Like, yeah, but I've paid you. I'm paying you every month.
So it shouldn't matter where I am in the world. Just let me watch what I want. You know, let me watch the stuff.
But they have different things for different audiences, different countries. So I remember when I was in Thailand last time in May, I logged into Netflix. And all the main the main like most popular shows were Asian shows.
And you might think, well, obviously, but no, I mean, I thought my shows would come up. Do you own the shows? Do you just you know what I mean? My favorite shows, the shows that I watch. And they didn't.
They were in my watch list. But as far as like most watched and, you know, new releases and all that stuff is all there was quite a lot of Indian stuff as well. But India is not that far away from here, is it? I guess so.
It's just like, what? But logging in to my Netflix account here, actually on my iPad rather than streaming it from my phone onto the television. I was getting the normal stuff is coming up, which is good. Yeah.
Oh, also last night. I still don't really think it's night time because not, but it is, but it's not, but it is, but it's not, you know, I, I didn't sleep. I managed to get to sleep about six hours, I think, eventually, because I was just like, I just wasn't tired.
Still, I guess still a bit jet lagged, maybe. It's only my second day yesterday. And I, one of the things that I've found a distraction to go to sleep, a couple of things that actually is noisy.
It's so noisy downstairs, because I'm in a really busy nightclub entertainment section. And not only is it noisy up until the time they close, but when they close, they all start partying themselves. So they start playing music, their own music that they want to listen to instead of Western music.
And, you know, and I'm thinking, well, that's, that's normal. That's what I used to do when I worked in a nightclub. We'd work till two o'clock, and then we got rid of the customers.
We might spend the next three hours, four hours drinking and just listening to music and just chatting and partying or whatever. But not at the expense of other people's sleep. And the other thing is the air conditioning.
The air conditioner is very, it's quite loud. And I was thinking, hmm, because yesterday, last night, the night before, rather, I attempted to turn it off, well, I turned it off. But I thought, okay, I see how long I can go without it being, without it being on.
Maybe I don't need it on at night, which is, you know, the coolest part of the day, night, well, coolest part of the night. Pretty much anywhere in the world, I imagine it's cooler at night, isn't it, than in the daytime. But I was a little bit concerned that I'd wake up fried.
I thought, just like, hmm, you know, I was like, would it just, would there be any oxygen left in the room? Which of course there would be. Yeah, it's quite a big room. I've got to sneeze.
I tell you one thing, do not sneeze near anyone here. I don't mean just, I don't mean in their face. I mean, you get a look.
I mean, you get a look anywhere, I imagine, in the world these days, but it's like, oh, it is, everyone stands up and looks around. And I bet you right now, me sneezing, I bet there's someone outside looking around. Who was that? Sneeze, sneeze, call an ambulance.
No, it's just a sneeze. I mean, it's weird. If you go somewhere different, different smells, different kind of air pressure, air, because this, I guess it's fairly quite a high altitude, isn't it? Thailand compared to England.
So yeah, it is, isn't it? Philippines, Thailand. So if I was going to go running and get fit, I'd be super fit when I got back to England, in a sense of my cardiovascular, because you have to push harder to, which is a good thing, I guess, because maybe my fitness will improve walking around. But I've still got a big, fat, massive belly, which just, it's almost like, like it's a lodger that really is determined never to leave.
You know, someone who gets out, oh, I'm going to get kicked out of my house. I don't know what to do. That's all right.
You can stay with me for a little while. I've got a, I've got a settee, couch, you can sleep on there for a little while. Oh, thanks.
I won't be a problem. I won't be a bother. You won't even know I'm there.
Six years later, you know, so please leave. See, I've been on the other end of that. I've been the lodger on many occasions, the unwanted lodger.
Oh, yes. I'm a proud young lady. So I, I've made a few, I've upset a couple of people.
Not meaning to. One is this, this lady. She's around the corner.
Listen, this is just a route that I walk to get to where I'm going. And she grabbed hold of me as I was walking past, massage, massage. I was like, the problem is if you give them a second of your attention, they, they take that as being interest.
When actually I was just being, I wasn't being ignorant. You know, someone speaks to me, I turn around and acknowledge them. I find it difficult to just keep walking and ignore them.
And so I stopped and she was like grabbing me and said, oh, you can't massage, massage. I said, maybe another time, you know, I don't know, just like go away. And I didn't say go away, but she said, oh, I haven't, I haven't, I haven't had a customer all day.
I said, it's not really my fault, is it? It's, you know, I'm not really, I'm not responsible for that. I'm not, I'm not responsible for that. I mean, I'm putting into the, I am putting money into the, into the economy by coming here on holiday.
And I'm, I'm guessing that all drips down. I don't know. I mean, because people help each other out here.
So those that have got jobs, help people that don't have jobs, whatever, you know. And the thing is last time I was here, I was giving food out, just giving food to people. And although I already have, I've done that a little bit, but it's, I just can't do that.
I don't have the money to do that, to just be feeding people. I'd love to, that'd be brilliant, brilliant fun. But in a way I'd rather just give her, like yesterday, right, another person on the beach, this woman like said hello to me.
She's on a motorbike. So I thought, oh, she might like me, you know, because she's on a motorbike. It wasn't, she was sitting there on a motorbike.
It wasn't like she was in a massage, outside a massage shop or anything like that. So I said hello. She was nice.
She had braided hair. She was like nice. I said, are you all right? Yeah.
Where are you going? I'm just going for a walk. She said, oh, okay. And then I think she's like, boom, boom.
I said, no, I'm, I said, no, no, my name's Jason. She said, that's going to be my new line, by the way. I'm going to say that all the time now.
Boom, boom. No, no, it's Jason. You keep forgetting.
Or boom, boom. That's a nice name. Boom, boom.
I mean, it's better than, I mean, the amount of umms there are here. Nannies and neenies and nooners and umms, lots of those. And apparently they don't use their real names.
They have like nicknames because their own names are maybe a little bit longer or a little bit harder for Westerners, not just Westerners, but PW, you know, foreigners to pronounce maybe, I don't know. And I'll always give it a go, but last night I found a karaoke bar that I wanted to go into last time. Well, I wanted to go into a karaoke bar last time I was here and I found one here today.
This, uh, I found the first night actually. So I've been back twice now. So twice I've been in there and now they all know my name and it's just like, cause I'm singing.
It's fun. It's good fun. But there's this woman, she said to me, you know, my name, you remember, do you remember my name? I said, no, of course I don't.
Why would I remember your name? She said, I remember your name. It's Jason. I said, yeah, but there's only one of me.
There's like 12 of you. How can I remember all of your names? But you don't remember my name? No, I don't remember your name. Sorry.
The thing is, if someone tells me their name, I don't hear it. And that, that doesn't matter if that person is the most important person for me to remember. If that's my new boss or that's my new sister-in-law or it's my new girlfriend, I don't remember names for a while.
I mean, there was someone that I saw for two weeks when I was in Thailand. I didn't know a name until my friend spoke to her on the phone. She did a face on Facebook, a broadcast, live broadcast thing.
And my friend said hello to her and he asked, what's your name? That's when I learned her name. I didn't know what her name was. Um, I don't, I don't hear names.
It's weird. I try. Although I tell you what, I tell you what, when I went into Hooters, it doesn't sound bad, Hooters, it's just an American burger bar.
When I went to Hooters, the first time I was here, this lady, she was behind the bar. I think she's the manager. And she just introduced herself, went right through my ears.
Like, it wasn't that I don't care. I mean, she was lovely and everything, but like, it's a name. It's just another name.
Uh, and, but she wrote it down on a piece of paper. And so this is my name and she wrote it down and it was just put it on the counter, you know, on the bar. I remember her name now.
So I did say to this lady last night, you know, if you want me to know your name, why don't you wear a name badge? She thought I was joking. I think everyone should wear name badges. I mean, in the whole world, everyone should wear a name badge.
And I think part of the reason is because I don't do that thing that some people do when they keep saying the name of the person they're talking to. If I'm talking to you, you know, I'm talking, I'm talking to you. You know, I'm talking to you.
I look at you, I give you attention. And even if there's other people around, you know that I'm talking to you. If there's only me and you there, why would I need to say your name ever? And if you're in another room and I want your attention, I shout, Oi! Isn't that's the romantic way to go, isn't it? That's romance.
That's love. Oi! Oi! Where's my slippers? Where's my, where's my dinner? No, I've never been like that. Where? I've been working all day.
I want to come home to some dinner on the table. Where's my dinner? Where's my foot rub? I think there used to be people like that in the past. When I go out working all day to support his family, I can at least have a nice cooked lunch on the table, on the plate, ready.
So when I get in the door, I can have some food. And then I'm going down to the pub, and I'm going to come home. And when I come home, I want you to make sure that door's not locked.
Because I don't like having to use the key, because I'm too drunk. I don't know where I'm going with that. I shall stop.
Stop, stop. So I turned the air conditioning off last night as a little experiment. It seemed to work.
I woke up, I survived. And it wasn't, wasn't, well it wasn't cold, that's for sure. But it wasn't hot.
It wasn't like super, super duper hot. Which I was kind of thinking it would be. So what I did is I put the air conditioning on for a little while, for like 10 minutes just now.
Cool the room a little bit. And then I, then I made this thing. The volume's all over the place, isn't it? I need to even out that volume a bit, because it's like spiking.
Is it? I wonder why? Why do you think? Why is it spiking like that? I don't know. Unless I keep going too close to the microphone. Is that possible? Cool.
So if the sound quality is not up to par, please, please forgive me. Because basically I can't hear what I'm saying as I say it. That's the one thing I forgot to bring is the cord that connected my, my headphones to the microphone.
So there's probably is a way of doing it. I'm going to look out for some headphones, some little cheap ones. But you know, it's in my mind, in my vast eternal mind, I think that this is better than nothing.
But it might be less than nothing. I don't know. I genuinely, genuinely don't know.
Anyway, this, this lady outside this massage place, I went past her the day after. So I saw the first night walking up to, walking back from the beach. And then I walked back and I thought, I didn't know where I was.
I was lost, to be honest. This was on the second, this is last night. I came back.
Oh no, this is in the afternoon. I came back. So early evening.
And she was there. She said, why? And she started to grab me again. I said, no.
So I'm going back to the hotel. She said, that's what you always say. I said, I can't believe I'm wearing a different shirt.
How can you even recognise me? Don't all English people look the same? I don't know. Don't we all look like George Clooney, don't we? And Brad Pitt? Someone told me that once. Oh, English people are so handsome.
Oh, George Clooney. I mean, they probably would have gone for someone younger had I been a bit younger, but I'm kind of George Clooney's, maybe I'm that age group. I don't know.
Oh, by the way, I'm 52 tomorrow. Just thought I'd let you know. Happy birthday to moi.
52, 26th of August, 1970. 52. You know, I phoned my brother up last night and it's his birthday today.
He was born the day before my eighth birthday. And I said, how old are you now? How old are you? And he said, oh, I'll be 44. I was, in my mind, I thought he was lying.
Because I thought I was 53 tomorrow. Because all year, I've been 52. Even though I'm not 52, I've just added a year for some reason.
It's like, what am I going to be? I'm going to be 52. How old are you? Oh, 52. Well, I'm not.
I'm 51. I will be 52 tomorrow. So he's 44 today.
Eight years. I worked it out all by my lonesome. So, yeah, I, anyway, I walked back past that massage lady again, last night, coming back.
I got lost again. I said, I go, see, I go down one way to get to the beach and I always end up coming back a different way. And I don't want to come back that way because I want to avoid that lady.
And she, she, she, I said hello to her and she said, she just ignored me. I said, you're not talking to me. She said, no.
So I was just like, she was sitting down. And then another woman was saying, oh, massage. I'm like, I'm way too scared.
I want to just avoid going down there. Oh, the upset old lady. Boy, did I upset her.
And it's like, just for not giving her money, basically. Anyway, there's another woman I upset. And that was through miscommunication.
She works in a bar, like it's a burger bar place. And I went in there and she, all she was doing, I found out, was trying to tell me that they had chicken wings and it was all day. It was like all you can eat.
I didn't understand what she was telling me because I'd already had the chicken wings and I'd already finished my dinner. I'd already finished it. I can't eat.
I think people just assume that I can eat huge amounts of food and I can't. I don't eat a lot of food. I'm not a big eater at all.
I'm a big, I'm big and I eat, but I'm not a big eater. If you know what I mean. I rarely eat a whole plate full of food ever.
Rare, even stuff I like. Why would you eat stuff you don't like? Well, I think they call that healthy food. Yep.
Yes. So I, and there was music blaring out. I couldn't hear really what she was saying.
And I struggle to hear, I struggle several times to communicate with someone when there's music in the background. So if I'm talking to my friend, I have to get to turn the television down because I can't focus on what he's saying. Don't, you know, I can't do two.
I can't do it, but I can't ask the bar that's got full of people to turn the music down. You know, I've got, I've not got that. Uh, I can't do that, but I couldn't hear her.
And she got the ump with me. She turned away and walked away because I couldn't, she thought I was, I think she thought I was making fun of her and I was not at all because she said, Oh, she was saying what she was saying. I said, Oh, so there's a bikini contest.
Is that what you're talking about? Which clearly has nothing to do with wings. Um, you might say, why would you mention a bikini contest? It's because the night before someone told me there was a bikini contest there, which of course disgusted me. And then the idea of it, and I said, it can't tell me the exact time when it's on and the day.
So that she probably thought I was going to go, but I want to make sure that I avoid it at all costs. I don't want to be, I don't want to be sitting in a place, having a drink or eating some food and suddenly have all these, I won't finish the sentence. It's just silly, a silly sentence.
I've never been so angry. Um, yeah. So she was, and then the other manager came in and I said, I think I might have upset your friend.
And that made it worse because then she was interpreting, interpreting, interpreting to her what I said. And it made her, I think it made her feel even less able to communicate with me. Like we needed someone else to communicate, to interpret.
So I probably can't go back there. It's like, it's, and I've done nothing. I just, all I've done is be friendly to these people.
And these people, what do you mean these people? You're racist. No, just the people that I meet. This, uh, this lady at the karaoke bar, she said, you see over there, I won't do the accent, see over there.
I said, he said, that's my son. See, I mean, I'm on holiday. I don't, I don't say the normal things I would say.
Like if I was in England, I would say, why are you telling me that? Why are you telling me he's your son? What possible use do I have for that information? That's what I might be thinking. Not in a horrible way, just like, I don't care. You gave birth.
What, what, why are you telling me? And I'm joking. And, and she, she, oh, and she's really proud of it. Like, he's my son.
I was like, oh, good, good. I didn't know really what to add to it. And then when I was just closing up, he came and sat down.
And so she said, that's my son. I said, oh, hello. So I said hello to him.
And she said, he's hungry. I said, huh? She said, yeah, at the end of, um, after we finish here, he gets hungry, he has to eat. Okay.
I said, so does he want some food? He said, yeah, he goes to 7-Eleven. And he gets some food to eat because he's hungry. I said, okay, well, come on then.
I already bought him a little Coke. I got him a Coke. It might have been an orange juice, something like that.
And I said, well, come on, I'll take him over there. And it's not literally just across the road. I said, I'll take him over and get him whatever he wants.
So I walk across the road. Well, we dodged the traffic and get across. And I mean, you could say, why did she let some bloke take her kid off? But the 7-Eleven was across the road and they could see it.
If you know what I mean, they could see us across the road and they could see the store. They could probably see us inside the store as well. And, but he went in and I'm thinking he's going to get some like a sandwich or some food.
No, sweets, chocolates. That's what he wanted. So he took one, he looked at me.
I said, yeah, take that. And he went to, I said, like, have whatever you want. So he grabbed about four.
I said, get some for your mum, for your mummy or your mum. He said, oh, okay. He looked for something and he got one for her.
I gave him the money and I let him pay for it. And then we came back and his mum's all, oh, so lovely, big heart and all that stuff. I said, okay, cool.
And I'm looking at the kids and he's putting his stuff in his bag. I said, oi, what about your mum's one? He looks at me and I'm like, would you grasp me up? I took that for me. I'm hiding it.
He didn't say that. I was like, give your mum's one to her. And I don't know if he did or not, because suddenly there was a big argument going on.
So just before, this is drama, it was weird, very weird. Just before, basically it was probably 10 minutes before closing time, 15 minutes before closing time, this man comes in and he's got, he's holding his head and he's got a big bump on his head and he said that he'd been attacked and stuff like that. So all the staff were rallying around him, putting ice on his head, being nice to him and giving him a drink.
And then he gets up and he starts singing. He wants to sing a song. I was about to sing the last song.
He wanted to sing a song. And I said to the staff, don't worry, no, let him sing a song. It's fine.
I've already sung. And he went on and had a sing and everything. And it was nice.
It was a really nice, really nice environment. I'd go over the road to 7-Eleven, get chocolate bars for my little friend and his mum. And so, and then there's all this stuff going on.
And then this woman having a go at this man, but he's from a different, she's from somewhere else. She's screaming at him. And I didn't understand what she was saying, thankfully.
And she was apparently, they kept saying to me, don't get involved, don't get involved. See, my natural instinct is to separate people into, I'm kind of like a peacekeeper. I'm not a get involved, throwing punches.
I'm not like that. I'm peace, you know, I'd like to try and get both parties to part and to move their own ways. And, you know, if someone's being hurt, I like to stop them from being hurt, but without hurting the other person.
And hopefully without putting myself in, in, you know, danger or whatever. Not that I genuinely seem to care about that in the moment. But they kept saying, don't get involved.
And it looked like it was really going to kick off. And then all the staff in that place seemed to be turning on him, or some of them, the ones that were helping him, because he was being, I don't know, he was perhaps being a bit aggressive or whatever. I didn't know what was going on, but three people escorted him out, not police, but people grabbed him by the arms and escorted him out of the premises, across the road.
These are people that were from a different bar, apparently. Now, once he was gone, they told me what happened. And he'd been drinking in another bar, because they give you tabs.
I don't charge you money as you drink. You can drink all night and then have a big, huge tab for, you know, $200 or I don't know, like quite a lot of money and then suddenly have to pay it. And according to them, that's what he'd done.
He just walked out, though. He didn't pay it. He walked out.
They tried to stop him. And that's how he got his bump on his head. But I think the mistake perhaps was him getting on the microphone, talking loudly, and they could hear it, because they didn't know where he'd gone.
But he'd walked up the road, crossed the road, gone into the karaoke, and they could hear his voice. And they probably heard his voice all day, like for the last few hours. So they recognised it.
So, you know, he wasn't just singing. He was also talking about other stuff that had happened, you know, got hit by whatever. So I guess he didn't do himself any favours because they heard him.
Anyway, they came and got him and that was it. I don't know what happened then. They walked up the road and I didn't see.
I didn't follow or anything. It was weird. Very weird.
The main thing is don't get involved. See, I know not to get involved because what happens is, if two English or let's say foreign people, because it could be anything, it could be Australian, American, English, Danish, German, it doesn't matter. It's all the same to them.
There's no difference. Basically, if you're not Thai, or if you don't look Thai, if you don't look... Is it okay to say Asian? You know what I mean. I'm pretty sure, I mean, they, if you don't, if you stand out, so if you're a Westerner, if you're black, if you're white, or if you're... You know what I mean.
If you're obviously not from here, although I could be from here, I might have been born here. I wasn't, might have been, but I wasn't, but I might have been. That's my point.
But I wasn't, but I could have been. I don't know how I could have been. I suppose it's possible.
I mean, I wasn't, but you know, it's, you know, in sort of reality terms of my mother may have, you know, she could have decided to travel here and put me out here, you know, who knows, but she didn't. North London. That's where I was born.
North London. UK of England, Britain. Commonwealth.
So I, yeah, the thing is, if they see two people, they see two flangs, as they call them, fighting, arguing, whatever. If it's in the street, they don't care. It was not involving anyone else.
Generally, they just watch. They don't do anything. If it's in a bar owned by Thai people, if it's in an establishment, a restaurant, a bar, they get involved.
I mean, generally, the people that work in a bar get involved to stop it and to kick them out. Now, even if the two people are only focused on each other and people from outside see it going on, and they think that the two people are causing trouble for the Thais inside the pub or the bar or the restaurant, they'll come in. Fly kicking and stuff like that.
It's a bit like fly fishing, but with feet. And they do. And it just, there are no winners.
Well, there are, but it's not the foreigners. The foreigners do not win. So it's, if I went and helped, even just to calm it down, if that man had ended up getting into a fight with one of the Thai people physically, then I could have perhaps got caught up in that.
And the people on the motorbikes outside would have come in, the taxi drivers would have come in, and all they'd have seen was two white people, two foreigners. And they wouldn't have, they wouldn't have distinguished the difference between us. So probably would have been, both being attacked by them.
So yeah, that's just the way it is out here. They, they watch and they let things happen until they don't let it happen anymore. So, and it was really, it's really weird because the bloke who was one of the hosts, I don't know if he was one of the owners of the bar, but he was there and I sung some songs with him.
And he was so happy. Yeah. And at the end of it, when I said goodbye, he just like was miserable.
It really dampened the night. It was a nice night. And yeah.
And there's a thing that I don't, I noticed this last time and he was smiling and I said, are you all right? He said, yeah. And he, um, touched his chest and like rubbed around his chest and said, big, big, it was like big heart. Like he's feels, feels, uh, open heart, you know, like happy.
I don't know, you know what I mean? It's like, it's a nice way to say it. Big heart, big. He didn't say heart, he said big and just rubbed his chest.
So he was feeling really good, really nice, really happy. So that was just a dampener because it didn't spoil it for me because I didn't really care, but I think it spoiled it for them because, you know, they work hard. They're there all day long, all, you know, they do long hours and, you know, just, they were just like chilling out the last hour or so of the night, just chilling out.
I mean, the lady said, I remember I said to the lady who was running the karaoke, I said, when, I'm just wondering when you, when you close, whether or not I can sing another song because I don't know whether or not you can, what time you close. She said, oh, you can't sing another song. I have to be careful because the police might come, police, police.
Can't sing another song because the police will come. And I said, so you're closing soon? And she said, no, not for three hours. I was like, what? I think I've just been put down.
And she started pointing to her ears, bleeding, bleeding. No more sing, no more sing. Okay.
Okay. I'm going to be rude. I must be rude.
You don't understand blatance. I got to be rude. I tried to be nice.
What do you mean? Well, I pretended the microphone didn't work. That didn't stop you. Okay.
Fair enough. Oh yeah. I fell.
Okay. There was this, I was singing a song with one of the blokes that was there. And we were off the stage singing.
He was standing off the stage. So I just stood off the stage with him and they kept shouting, get on the stage. We can't see ya.
Something like that. Or stop singing. One of them.
And there was one line in the song, which was, I think at the time it was standing up high. I think it was something like that. So I got to jump up on the stage as I say those words, but I missed the stage and I ended up falling on my face.
And everyone was like, Oh no. Like trying to make sure I was okay. I was laughing.
I was okay. I didn't, but they were really worried. So blimey.
Yeah. I'm all right. I had no broken bones.
I landed on my hand and I thought, Oh, my finger. Oh, but you know, but then afterwards I realized I pulled, my back was a little bit sore. So I think that that might be, it didn't help, but it's like, it's just muscular, you know.
And even if I did hurt myself, you can't sue these places. It's not like in some parts of the world where you can, Oh, I fell over. I'm going to sue the company.
I'm going to get half a million pounds. No, you don't get anything for suing these places. And you probably wouldn't be able to anyway, even if you wanted to.
And it was my, my error. Now, admittedly, I don't know what I'd do if there wasn't a, you know, if it was their error and I ended up falling off the stage and it was their fault, but what are you going to do? You know, what are you going to do? So I'm going to bring this to an end, just get a little bit hot in here. So that's interesting.
I can get to about 50 minutes before it gets a bit too stifling. It's okay to lay down and be asleep, but although it's probably, I guess, warmer now at this time of the day than it was during the night, but talking, it puts quite a bit of strain on the throat, you know, and it's, I kind of probably need to be drinking more water whilst I'm talking. It's hard to drink and talk at the same time, unless of course you're a ventriloquist.
So I'm trying to think what else happened. Um, no, I can't think of anything else. I hope that I didn't leave any weird editing things in last night, my last recording.
I just remembered the cleaners outside waiting for me to, to let her in. We should have to wait because I'm not ready. I'm whispering now, okay, she can hear me.
She probably can hear me talk and think, oh, he's awake. She probably thinks I'm talking to someone, not realizing that I'm talking to thousands of people. Hey, hey, hey, hey, eventually, I mean, I don't know how many people listen, but you know, a few, more than seven, between seven and nine.
So I'm thinking today I'm going to go to the gym. I'm going to go to the gym, go, go, go, go, go to the gym. I found one.
I found one and I'm just going to have a little look. I'm assuming it'd be air conditioned. So it'd just be like being at home and maybe it'd be good to just have a little bit of exercise outside of just walking, you know, lift a few weights.
And there's also a clothes shop that has a big sign 90% off. And I think it's just clothes, like a supermarket, like bits and bobs. So I want to go in there, see if I can get a few cheap little bits and bobs, some t-shirts and stuff, because I can't, you know, I can't afford to keep buying the t-shirts I've been getting.
They're like, well, to be fair, not that much. 350 baht, which is 350. I don't know.
100 baht is £2.50, £2.50, £5, £7, it's probably just under £10 for a t-shirt. Like they're nice shirts, they're not like flimsy t-shirts, not nice. Some of them are really bad, horrible colours.
I had this green, fluorescent green one yesterday. I just wore it just to annoy people. I don't know, just, I miss being in England, annoying people, so I thought I'll just do that here.
Also, I need to have a shave or a trim. So I might try and go to the hairdressers, have a little trim, a little trim. I like that, that word, trim, have a little trim, trim.
Maybe, we'll see. Other than that, I'd quite like to do a hypnosis podcast, if it's possible. So what I'll do is, I'll try and edit this on my iPad, although my iPad froze last night.
So I don't know what the heck's happened to it. It started again, but it just kept freezing while I was on the internet. Which is a bit weird.
So that's it, I'm going to go. I've chatted enough, chatted enough. I will return again tomorrow and I plan on doing at least one of these every day while I'm here.
And I'm sweating. So take care of yourselves. Remember to be kind to yourself because you deserve to be happy and be gentle with yourself.
Lots of love. Bye.
