(no music) #1293 Q&A Friday - Let me bore you to sleep (28th February 2025)

Hello and welcome to jasonnewland.com. My name's Jason Newland and this is Let Me Bore You To Sleep. To Sleep. To Sleep.

So it is Friday the 28th of February 2025. And please only listen when you can safely close your eyes. I realize I might have already said that but I just honestly do not notice when I've said it.

It's just like I don't hear myself. You should start hearing yourself, start listening. Okay, blimey.

And what else? Well, let's have a look at this. I got a message here on Facebook. Right, this is from Mickey JG Cole.

Okay. I M A O or is it L M A O. This is so random, but my sorority pledge challenge is to send a nude to the next 50 guys I accept on my IG. Please don't let me fail.

Ha ha. Just follow me there quick. I'm deleting this ACT tonight so my BF doesn't find out.

LOL. Wow. You know what? That could be.

All these years I've been waiting for someone to come into my life and maybe whisk me away and this could be the person. This could be the one for me. Out of all the, you know, the whole world she chooses me to fall in love with.

Wow. I didn't see that coming. Yep.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Okay, so let's have a look. I get a lot of those very, very weird messages for some reason. I don't really know why.

Do people actually, do the people, do they, do people actually like respond to them thinking it's real? Right. Oh, look at this. Congratulations.

You've just earned the top. Oh yeah. This is for Facebook.

Congratulations. You've just earned. You've reached 1500 points and earned the top contribution badge.

This is on my Jason Newland's Boring Group. I suppose I should kind of be at the top and it's my group. I probably do the most posting to be fair.

1517 points. I've never been so excited. Wow.

Oh, this is Q&A Friday, by the way. I normally mentioned that. Q&A, Q&A, Q&A Friday.

Right. It's going to be a bit of a weird quick Q&A Friday because I've, I did put it, I mean, it was yesterday. So I didn't give a lot of notice.

8.57am Thursday, the 27th of February, 2025. And it's now 12.22pm on the 28th. Any questions for tomorrow's Q&A Friday, 28th of February, 2025.

Well, I have got comments. I didn't get many out of six. So let's have a look.

I don't know if I'm looking at if they're all questions. So, do you think that you will get back to doing more regular, Let Me Bore You To Sleep stuff? I miss it. That's from Hillary.

No. Yeah, I am. Here I am doing it now.

I'm here. I've done two this week. I did one.

Well, I did one. Was it Monday or Tuesday? It was it was like a special Q&A recording. But and I did one today.

So it's two. It's been a quiet week. To be fair, it's been a quiet week recording wise this week.

But I do intend to start making more recordings back to like regular daily, pretty much starting next week or maybe even from today. I've just been really, really, really, really busy. Like really busy.

And so I suppose I could tell you what I've been up to that maybe that'll be a good way to answer that. But it's I mean, it's kind of a yes answer. I will be I'm going to be making more stuff.

More Let Me Bore You To Sleep stuff. I've just been I've been working on my website. And I didn't do much at the weekend because boxing was on.

So I was quite busy with that. And I mean, the show on Saturday started about 3.30 in the afternoon, and went on till about midnight. I mean, it was too much of a good thing.

I think it was just went on too long. In fact, I couldn't actually sit up and I couldn't sit up to watch the last fight, which was the main fight. I was too tired.

So I wonder what he was doing back there. Cleaning himself. I, I, I, I, I went to bed.

But I knew that there was certain rules I had to abide by in order for me to watch the main fight without knowing who won. So what I did is I went to bed. And when I woke up, I didn't go on to YouTube.

I didn't go on to any of the news. I didn't go on to any social media. I didn't go on to even you know anything just online in case it told me you know, because especially if it was some kind of controversial situation.

You know, so I thought no. Controversial what what it could be. I mean, there was a fight between Riddick Bowe.

I think it was Riddick Bowe and Evander Holyfield. And a parachute, a man with on a parachute or paraglider landed in the ring during the fight. And it was I think it was on purpose.

It wasn't an accident. And he got all tangled up in the ropes. And so that that something like that's quite controversial.

So if that happened in this fight, then it might have even been on the news. Because it's a bit it's an interesting story, isn't it? It's a bit fun. It's a bit like, out of the out of the out of the usual scenario.

But during that story, so if I'd have woken up to Ado, for example, a dinosaur gives birth in the middle of the ring during the the main fight on Saturday night. And then it might say who won when whoever knocked out, you know, it's like, and that's ruined ruined it for me. Although I kind of get more excited to watch it.

Wondering when the dinosaur is going to appear. But you know me, generally. Luckily, I watched it while I was eating my breakfast on Sunday morning, probably about five, six.

And I literally had no idea who was going to win or anything. I didn't know who won, or who had won rather, because just playing it back. So that was nice.

But it just went on too long. I couldn't, I couldn't stay up. I'm in bed at 10 o'clock.

Normally, on an average night, I'm in bed by that 10, sometimes 11, sometimes nine, but generally around 10. That's my kind of cut off point. I wake up probably 5456 depending.

So I don't, you know, once I'm awake past 10 o'clock in the evening, I'm just like, too tired, man, too tired. So that's kind of why it's I mean, Saturday was busy because of that. And then Sunday, Sundays, like, I like my Sundays because it's a very, very lazy day for me.

I mean, some could argue that every day is a lazy day for me. But I really don't do much on a Sunday. I don't even really want to look at internet stuff or make recordings or just I just want to kind of just lay about probably spend a bit of time bit more time in bed than I would normally do.

Watch a bit of TV, catch up on EastEnders or something like that. And just yeah, take it easy. Just give myself a little give my eyes a rest from looking at a computer screen.

Because that's the one thing this week I've had here. I've had headaches for my strain because I've been staring into this computer for the whole week like that. But we do that now so it's worth it.

It's worth it in the end because it's coming together although it's it's still not there yet. It's never going to be complete the website but it's nearly where I need it to be. So I just need to quick do this.

I'm in the process of making a new podcast, which has got all the latest recordings this year that I can have, which doesn't have any without any adverts on it. So I can put that onto the website. So I'm just in the process.

I'm up to the 10th of January. I don't know if I'll have it done today, but I should try. So I was at 1266 1266 218 218.

Okay, so upload 218. If I put in piece that should come up piece 218. Yes, the one 12345 No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Oh, yeah, I did, didn't I? Okay, that's fine. I'll upload that. So place, place of peace, place of peace.

That's weird. So go back to this one place, place of peace. 1234.

But that was all that was all fine on this one. Oh, well. I can only upload what I can upload.

Can I can't not bother worry about it. Is there music on that one? No, there is. No.

Yes, there is. Okay. So Megan replies, her question, it was not a question, but me to regarding what Hillary said.

And then Michelle writes me to about whether to the question, am I going to be making more regular? Let me board asleep? Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. So Hillary and Megan and Michelle? Yes. And Robin puts? Yes.

So I'm guessing that Robin's asking the same question as well. So for questions for people asking, am I going to be doing more regular? Let me board asleep? And the answer is yes, I am. Sometimes what it is, is I need to focus on what I'm doing.

Otherwise, I just can't seem to kind of get my get myself motivated unless I can really get in and do it, you know, get on with it. And I set myself targets. And the target really for this week was to, I thought I'd accomplished it, but then something came up and I had to make some changes.

But to get the whole website up and running properly. I've now got for the website is now a subscription. Just one, one pound a month for 10 pound for the entire year.

I will still be doing my podcasts. The latest recordings will all still be free. On the, you know, the let me board asleep podcast, wherever you listen to that, the latest ones of those will still be free.

And I think I'm going to probably from the beginning of this, the let me board asleep is I can't go back. So the main podcast, which I've got is the hypnosis for sleeping deeply. I'm just going to go down and see how far back that goes.

At the moment, blimey goes back. Wow. At the moment, it goes back all the way.

Right. It goes back to July. Right.

It's going to go back to January. So the, the start, all the recordings will be from the 1st of January 2025 onwards, will be free to play and do whatever on the Let Me Bore You To Sleep podcast. It will be.

Yes, have a look. There's still lots, lots and lots to listen to without signing up that huge amount of money every month. One pound.

I could drop down on the floor and not even notice. Okay, yeah. That's weird.

That's very strange. That doesn't make sense. How is that possible? Okay, okay.

So Let Me Bore You To Sleep at the moment is more than will be is going to be 50 1251 onwards will be on Let Me Bore You To Sleep and what 1292 so be I think at the moment it goes all the way back to goes back to the 18th of 16th of November. But that's not really not not too focused on that right now. But, but, but, but, but, but, but, but I got a message.

No, it wasn't even a message. Okay, comments. So yeah, I'm just in the middle of doing that.

I mean, I can go through the website if you want just if you're bored, if you want me to tell you. So how it is is so jasonnewland.com. Click on it and it's a homepage. At the moment, in this very second, it's just the there is right, okay.

Okay. It's all the latest on Let Me Bore You To Sleep recordings. So my actual podcasts are on the, you know, wherever you listen to them.

But in order to listen to anything on the website at the moment, it's members only. Aha, but is that for everything? Is it for everything? Not the smoke ones though. That's free.

So it just is really is a case of, I'm still in the process of doing it. But what I have had is I'm getting a bit of feedback. I've had when I've done these members only.

Okay, what I did, I'm trying to confuse myself now. I had it all set up. And I was going to on the first very first page, list the domain, like the last, I don't know, since January on the page where you can listen to.

And it's free. You know, just like on a podcast. Which you know what I think is probably the best way to go anyway.

And why did I get rid of that? Thinking about it, that is the best way. It's what it all it is, is I got a message. And that is this is the next question really.

From Michelle, I just became a member of your website. Thank you. What is the easiest way to find older bore me to sleeps? I keep having to scroll down and scroll until I come to one I haven't heard.

So what I've done is on the podcast on the website, jasonnewland.com, click on podcasts in the menu. And then there's 123456789 1011 1213 different podcasts. And hypnosis for sleep and deeply Let Me Bore You To Sleep, chronic pain, hypnosis, deep sleep, whisper hypnosis.

Jason's bedtime story time. Let me pull your pain away. Relaxation for stress and panic attacks.

Relax and sleep hypnosis daily. Sleep e boring objects. Stop smoking hypnosis, stress and pain relief.

Stop now biting and Q&A Friday. So what I'm going to do is what I've done. Okay, let me put okay.

When you click on Let Me Bore You To Sleep. It's all grouped into 50s groups of 50. So you got this all got members only on it.

So only members can sort of have access to this stuff. So click on one to 50. You can click on it and have a look what's on there.

So there's actually 50 down to one. So one to 50. Let me board your sleep.

And then it goes all the way up to 1251 to 1300. So you click on that and that goes up to 1292 which was the last recording I did which was four days ago. And again, it's all members only but it just makes it easier to do because before I had like a playlist and then something you could stream and then all the the playlists at the bottom.

But now the playlists are literally you can't miss them because on the page. So yeah, does that make sense? Does I don't know if it made sense to me. And you've got chronic pain hypnosis.

That one is basically, because it's chronic pain, it's free. It's on there. It's just a chronic pain hypnosis podcast.

And you can get gain access to that. Just click on it. You haven't got to be a member to watch them or to listen to them.

And then Deep Sleep Whisper. It's all members only there. What are you doing? Are you hassling me, baby? Oh, how did you know this was in my pocket? You thought I was just happy to see you? Me! There you go.

And so yeah, I've got 1 to 50 all the way up to 501 to 550. All members only. Yeah, so that's a Deep Sleep Whisper.

But also, if you know where the website is, or what what I might do. If I add the Let Me Bore You To Sleep. What do you want? If I had the actual podcast on there as well.

So then you can just go to the ones where you can listen for free. Yeah, that makes sense. What are you doing, Vinnie? Why are you hassling me, man? Oh, you want another one? That's all there is.

You're not having any more. There you go. Yeah, that makes sense, I think.

And then and then you've got Deep Sleep Whisper hypnosis. I've done those. So there's 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 different things.

I'll actually put the podcast on there as well, where you can just click on the one that you would normally listen to. But online, but that playlist, I mean. So then you got Jason's Bedtime Storytime as members only.

So 1 to 50. So that's there. And then you've got Let Me Boy Your Pain Away.

1 to 50 members only. Now, the benefit of the members only is basically there's no adverts on those ones. I mean, not everyone loves adverts.

I can't stand adverts. I am a real anti advert person. It winds me up.

You know, on the boxing, right? You can pay like £24 for a fight, you know, a box office, big, big fight. And in between the rounds, I understand they put an advert between the fights. I still don't like adverts.

But if that has to be a thing, then they put adverts in between the rounds. Now, if any, maybe the casual boxing watcher doesn't care about what happens between the rounds. But as a boxing fan, I want to hear what the corner are saying to the fighter and what the fighter is saying to the corner.

You know, that's that's important stuff. And was relevant stuff. Maybe it's not important, but it's important in the context of being, you know, to really know what's going on in the fight.

And it's Yeah, it's I don't know. So I'm not a big fan of adverts. But you there are, there may be adverts on the normal podcasts.

But on the membership ones, no adverts. Okay, so on the homepage, if I want to do this now while I speak, so you can actually do 218 218. It's all gone wrong.

What's going on here now? 218. See, I've come out of this what I was doing should have stuck to this because now come out a page. And I don't know where I am.

218. Oh, itchy leg. Oh.

218. What was it before that? 1256. 1256.

I do so many recordings. It's ridiculous. Seriously, I can't believe how many there are.

So many thousands. Yeah, so 1256. To be Yeah.

No. So I don't need that one, do I? So yeah, I don't need to do that. I don't need to do what I was doing.

So I need to do is RSS copy. Stop hassling me Vinnie, please. podcast if I had a podcast.

It just shows you how much I've been doing this because I know how to do it. Like quite quickly. Now I know my way around this website.

And I've been using this website on and off for years and years and years. Yours. So if I just put home, category home.

That's it. Done. And now what I need to do is go to the page, which is the homepage.

Let's have a look at this. Yeah, we are. Here we are.

Homepage, edit, click on the thing, and it will be done. So quickly. That's how easy it is.

Here we go. Right, done. So now the page is updated again.

So when you go to the homepage, all the latest recordings that are on my main website, hypnosis for sleeping deeply, on there, and you can stream them for free, play, download, whatever, for free. Instead of the one pound a month. So yeah, so it's, it's just free.

But all the archive stuff, I mean, I'm going to keep, I'm going to keep this on, probably back date until the beginning of the year for this. And maybe let it go for two months or three months. And then, then, you know, just continue to move the stuff off.

But for now, this goes all the way up to there's a lot of recordings on there. So many. I would argue that I don't think there's I don't think I could live long enough to listen to all of these recordings, especially the 10 hour ones as well.

Blimey. There's a lot. Okey doke.

Dokey dokey dokey. Dokey dokey dokey dokey. What is still going on? January 22.

It's a lot. So I'm not gonna put anything else on the first page, just that. And I suppose.

I suppose I could do a different page just for the. I don't know. It's hard just to know where to go because with a podcast, let's say, let me buy the sleep.

I can put the other podcast on there as well. So where you can just listen to the free ones that are available. So I'll do that as well then.

Okay, let me go back here. Let me buy the sleep. So I'm trying to make it all kind of so it fits easy to maneuver, easy to navigate, navigate.

But. It's one of those weird things, not weird things. It's one of those things we all think differently, don't we? So something that might seem simple to me or obvious to me might seem strange to someone else.

And the same, you know, vice versa. That's a big word for you, Jason, stop being rude. So let's have a look at this.

Let me buy the sleep. Okay, if I put free in brackets, then. Free.

Free free free free. That'll do it on that free. I think.

And categories. Let me buy the sleep. Okay.

And that'll do. Which means it should now be updated. So if I click that to refresh, it's now on there.

So put in brackets free, let me buy the sleep. So you can click on there on the website. So just go to let me buy the sleep.

And then the last podcast on the list is free. Let me buy the sleep. And you've got all the latest recordings on the let me buy the sleep.

Yeah. Yeah, that's it. But they will have that what they might have adverts.

So if you want to listen to that adverts, you can go for the pre, you know, the become a member. And that that link is actually also on the website. It's in the index or in the menu, become a member.

And also, it's on all most of the other pages as well. So membership, it says 10 pound yearly. So the top there's a like a monthly in a yearly box, you can like click on each one.

So yearly is 10 pound saves you two pound. That's a that's nearly a packet of biscuits, or monthly, one pound. And it just says here, join as a member to gain access to all of Jason Newland's archive recordings.

I don't know what I see is weird to put my name like that. I've want to say all of mine, but I guess I don't know. There are 1000s available from 2007 to present day.

The most recent recordings are free to stream and download. So that's all true. And it says, these are the tick marks, all archived recordings and no ad ads, no ads.

So you can choose if you want to go for the one a month, one pound a month, or the 10 pound for a year, a whole year. How much that work out a day? Let me work it out. I don't know.

I'm very excited though. Let's have a look. Oh, okay, let's let's do it in.

We could do it in currency as well, because that's that's groovy. Consent, consent. This is, I tell you something's going on with the old mobile phones.

I don't, this is now trying to get me to take a loan. I don't want a loan. Go away.

I'm not eligible for a loan. Right. So if I go to US, Oh, blimey.

All right. So let's have a look. One pound.

So one pound a month. Okay, one pound a month is $1.26 a month, times by 12 equals 12 pounds a month for $15.11. Based on today's, you know, rate of whatever. Now, if you if you did it, so if you paid 10 pound and divided that, if you just say if you did it, oh, that's okay.

So one pound, one pound a month divided by, no, I'm not getting this right. So, so 12, if you do it, okay, if you did one pound a month, and divide that by 365. No.

So that'd be 12 pound a year. So divide that by 365. It's 4,380 pound a day.

I don't think I did that one right, did I? So 12 pound divided by 12 equals, that's one pound. We already knew that, didn't we? $1.26. So if it's 12, if it's, let's say 10 pound, let's say 10 pound a year, divide that by 12 equals 83 pence a month, if you're in the UK, or $1.05 a month, if you're in the US. Now I do realize it could be it could change in, you know, obviously different, different locations.

They would take me forever to go through all the different currencies. So what else we have? So if I go back to Oh, oh, no. 10 divided by 12.

So it's 83 pence and one pound and five $1.05. Divide that and that's by month. Is that a day? That's a month. Okay, so what we'll do now.

10 pound or $12.60 US dollars divided by 365. So it's it is 0.027. So it is hard to work out to be honest. I mean, one pound divided by 30.

Or less. Yeah, it's 2.7 pence or something 3.4 cents, cents a day. Three cents a day.

222 pound two pennies a day. I think it works out in the UK. Let's see if that works as a two 0.2 times by 30.

We do in 0.2 times by 30. Which would be that would be six pound a month. That's not that's not right, is it? 00.20 times 20.

No, it's two pence, isn't it? Okay, 0.02. Okay, right. And times by 30 is times by 12. So you're looking like two or three pence to two pence or whatever a day and see yeah, it's kind of it's quite difficult to work out.

10 for the year. Blimey 10 pounds. Divide by 365 equals two pence.

Times by 365. Okay, fair enough. So yeah, two pence, two pence a day.

Try things two pence a day 30. 60 pence two and a half pence 60. So yeah, because it's about 80.

80 pence. So yeah, that's what it works out. So anyway, membership.

That's there. So in the homepage, you've got all the latest recordings. Still is free to listen on the website.

It's also free on the podcast as well. The normal podcasts stay the same. They've not changed.

And the only podcast changed. See deep sleep whispers still free to listen to chronic pain podcast, hypnosis asleep deeply. Jason's bedtime storytime bore your pain away.

And Let Me Bore You To Sleep. They're all just the same as before just available to listen on the podcast. It's just I've now got the there they've got adverts on those ones.

But the all the other stuff is now Yeah, relax and sleep hypnosis daily relaxation for stress and panic attacks. Sleepy porn objects do not do that one. That's weird.

Why is that? No, do I? Oh, no. Yeah. So the 150 that's members only.

So that's what it is. So you've got I've still got a lot more to do. A lot more to do.

Oh, yes. Okay, I think I think I need to get my eyes tested. Oops, did you hear that? That's a chair.

Yeah. I think I might also put some of my videos on here on the premium, like get on the website. Some of the old stuff that perhaps people don't really want to watch.

Apart from those that do want to watch them. I don't know that makes does that make any sense? It doesn't does it? You've got all the tree I've got no more treats for me. I got one of these if you want it or not.

Yesterday, he didn't eat any food, hardly. And I didn't know what was wrong with him because he was he wasn't whining, but he was definitely not himself. And he done one poo in the morning.

And then later on in the afternoon, he did another one. And as soon as done that one, he suddenly had loads of beans. Like he was like full of energy wanting to run around in that and got home and had some some food and so I think he just had a poorly, poorly tummy.

He goes he's moody though sometimes and I don't know how much of that is because of me. And that that worries me a little bit because I don't want to I don't want to. You're like a kitten.

You know, you're a dog, not a cat. Did you know that? I know your cat size. He looked at me like, stop talking now.

Okay, sorry, Vinnie. So Michelle asked, I just became a member of your website. Thank you for joining.

What's the easiest way to find older boys to sleep? And so I would say the answer to that is, go to the website, click on podcasts. And then just click on Let Me Bore You To Sleep. And all the podcasts are in 18.

This is literally 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. Vinnie, you're putting me off my counting. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 21.

There's 21 different podcasts. So members only 1 to 50, then 50 to 100, and 101 to 150, 151 to 200, 201 to 250. Members only of course are 251 to 300, 301 to 350, 351 to 400, 401 to 450, 451 to 500, 501 to 550, 551 to 600.

It sounds like one of those, you know the one, what are they called, that are trying to sell things, and they have the gavel, like members only 601 to 650, 601 to 700, 701 to 750, 7, anyone, any higher? Oh, 751 to 800. Anyone else? Anyone else for anything else? 801 to 850, 851 to 900. Okay.

A man with a head with a pigeon, 901, 950. Sorry, it's a week. 951 to 1000.

Anyone for 951 to 1000? Okay, okay, okay, that's good, good. 1001 to 150, 1001 rather to 1050. Come on, any takers? Oh, the little Jack Russell, he's, or is he just begging for something? 151, 1051 to 1100, 1101 to 1150, 1151 to 1200.

And the last two members only, 1201 to 1250, and then 1251 to 1300. So that latest one goes up to 1292. So that will be another one added today.

Latest. Latest Let Me Boyd Asleep. Got it.

Got it. Yep. So that's now saved as an image on there.

So you can see that it says latest on there. Free. Latest.

Okay, cool. So what I'll do is I'll do that with some of the others as well. I won't do it right now.

No. Because, you know, I've been struggling to, some of the apps on my phone are not working. And I need to renew my prescription.

I've got 10 days left. So it's fine. But I like to try and do it while I remember, because if I forget, you know, I try to get it done.

Because if there's a cut, yeah, I don't want to run out. I didn't want to run out. No.

What other questions I got? Ing. So I hope I answered the questions. Thank you for those that have joined.

I mean, I've not promoted it at all other than just having on the website. I've not sort of put any effort in other than just to build the website. I do have four members.

So Hillary, Cindy, Aska and Michelle. So thank you for joining. That was to join one join 2620.

Then 27th, then 227 from one on 28th, which is today. So, you know, I'm still going to make the recordings free when I first do them and they're going to be online, available for you to play and all that stream. It's just after I don't know, I'm not sure what the call point is.

Probably three months, I will then make them put them into the archives. Two or three months, I've not decided yet. And, and also, you know what, if there's if there's a particular recording, and you need it, you can't afford the money, whatever, just let me know and I'll get the recording to you.

Okay. So, you know, this is fine. And, you know, I make fun of it being so cheap.

But you know what, there's been times in my life when I've had nothing. Remember, I went to the to the bank. And I had I think I had 12 pence in the bank.

So yeah, I know, I know what that's like. So don't let this stop you listen to any of my recordings, because if there's something you want to listen to, then I can get it to you. I send it to you by WhatsApp or wherever, however you want to do it.

Okay. So just, you know, does that make sense? Is that fair? Yeah, I think it's a lovely, I think that's wonderful. That's wonderful.

Wonderful. And to be fair, this is just it's still free. Blimey is all the stuff still free and still, still very free, three months worth of free stuff.

And so there's plenty of opportunities for you to download what you like. It's free to download, you can stream it or download it. So you know, it's it's up to you what you do.

Basically, all you're doing, if you do sign up, it's just supporting me and helping to towards covering the costs of running this service, which comes to hundreds of pounds a month. So yeah, it's um, there's no money making any money anytime soon. I hope that and I think I'd need probably to earn a living, I'd need probably two to 3000 people signing up for me to actually earn a living out of doing this.

So yeah, I mean, I'm thinking worst case scenario, this could be my pension, you know, so when I'm retiring, 14 years, 14 and a half years, 14 years, and let's work it out. I think I can retire at 69. Maybe it's 68.

Maybe it's 13 years. And then I can, you know, if I can have a some some money coming in on top of the the what's it, you know, the pension or whatever. Who knows, I mean, websites might not even exist then.

I don't know. I don't know. So Ng asks, hope I'm not too late for this week.

No, you're fine. And some regions in Germany are currently celebrating carnival. Many people dress up.

Do they do that in England, too? Did you like dressing up as a child? Which costume did you like? I'm pretty sure I had a Spider Man costume. I don't know why I just got this memory of having a Spider Man costume when I was like, eight or nine. Did I like, do we have anything we dress up? The only the only occasions in this country that I can think of, where we dress up would be the main one would be Halloween.

So, like kids dressing up as you know, whatever Halloween, the same as in. Really? What do you want then? I mean, clearly you want my attention. But what what do you want? Because I gave you one of those treats.

You didn't want it. I got this bone here. You don't want this because I gave you a bone and you weren't eating it.

Do you want that? You can have it if you want. So if I do that, he runs off because if he thinks I want it, then he wants it more or always. Sometimes if he's, he won't eat his dinner, I'll pretend to eat it.

And he really wants it then. It didn't work yesterday, but it obviously had a bit of a iffy, iffy tum tum. So Halloween, I don't remember if I ever dressed up for Halloween, or even went trick or treating.

I don't recall ever doing that. I might have done. But I don't know if we ever did.

Or if I ever did. I really don't remember. Other times dressing up maybe.

We don't have I mean, from what you say, in like carnival, we do actually we do have carnival. So yeah, we don't have like, I would say, an annual carnival apart from maybe New Year's Eve. Some people dress up and stuff on New Year's Eve, I guess.

Or Halloween, like adults perhaps will go out dressed up for parties Halloween night. The other thing would be maybe and what's his what's his name? The Irish celebration, St. Patrick Day. So that would be something that even even non Irish people sometimes celebrate that.

I mean, I'm 48% Irish. I am. So I'm 48% Irish in my DNA.

I don't celebrate St. Patrick's Day, perhaps I should start. But some people go out and they dress all in green and dress like not a tortoise. Not a porcupine.

Not a leopard. What was what are they called? What's those little little creatures with pots of gold and stuff? leprechauns. So I think non Irish people might dress as leprechauns.

I don't. I'm just assuming here. But don't imagine that Irish people would dress would dress as leprechauns not on purpose.

Because it's kind of making fun of Irish people, isn't it a little bit? So I'm guessing they wouldn't. And, you know, if you do dress a leprechaun, stop making fun of my people. 48% Irish.

So my the majority of my the majority, the majority of my DNA is Irish. So I can if he's only 48% No, but the other bit is made up of different ones as well. See, someone in the garden Vinnie's gonna start barking in a minute, you better not bark then.

You better not bark. So outside of that, stag nights and hen nights, we dress up while people do have a tendency of dressing up for. And so if you don't know what they are, stag night is, it's the same thing.

A hagnight, a hagnight, slag night, hen night, and a stag night is sometimes a day or a couple of days before a wedding. So it'd be the bride and the groom stag nights for the for the groom and hen nights for the for the bride. And then you've got so that'd be a dressing up thing.

Sometimes there's like discos which would be like a 70s disco, or these bars that kind of really, you know, so you might see that around different towns, people sort of dress up maybe in the 80s and have big hair and, you know, and, you know, spandex costumes and things like that. Another thing that people dress up for in this country, and it's would be potentially shows. And like in costumes, I think things like grease, or hairspray, or Rocky's Rocky Horror Picture Show, is it?

Yeah, those kind of ones where people dress up as the characters.

And what's the other one? The How? Oh, what's that one with the flower? I love that film. The one with the flower. Eat me.

That one. Great show. Great film.

So that's another one. I think people also dress up in fancy dress when they go to watch tennis as well, I think, because you see them go in there they've got their carrying around strawberries and stuff, and champagne. And I guess that's not really a costume.

But there is another thing where people dress up for as well. I think it's Ascot. Is it Ascot? Or is it Henley Regatta? It's one of these things where people wear massive hats, like really, really big hats.

You should see what the women wear. I mean, proper. It's extravagant, extravagant, extravagant.

It's really amazing. And so that's another thing that people dress up for here. But as far as carnivals go, one of the, we do have festivals here, have a lot of festivals in the UK, lots and lots and lots.

So I've been to a festival and everyone seemed to be dressed up as dirty people living in tents. And I was one of them. So yeah, you get people dressing up stuff like that.

But the festivals, yeah, so you've got that. But then you've got the carnivals, like the Notting Hill Carnival, which one of the most famous carnivals in the country. A lot of costumes in there as well.

A lot of sort of African themed stuff going on. So it's very glamorous. I've not, I don't think I've ever been myself.

I might have like walked past there once when I was in London, but I've seen it a lot on TV over the years and it looks, it's very colourful, very like big costumes and, you know, things like that. So there's that. Where I used to live, we used to have a carnival and the procession, which is kind of what I'm thinking about with the Notting Hill Carnival, we had a procession that used to go through the town where I, when I was a kid.

Now, I don't know if that's the same for every single town in the country. They have a carnival that goes, you know, a procession goes through the town, all these different floats, some of them advertise in businesses, some of them run by charities, some of them are like, you know, clubs and stuff that are in the town. I don't know if all towns do that.

But where I lived, we did that and it ended up, the procession ended up in the one, the big park in town and it was like a big carnival event there, rides and, you know, you win goldfish by chucking stuff at stuff and there was a firework display. So the visitors didn't necessarily dress up but the carnival people did, the people that were actually on the floats, on the procession and I was, I was on the carnival I think four times, I think, or three times, maybe more.

I was, I definitely did it twice at, when I was in the Sea Cadets.

I think once I was on the, in the band, maybe twice in the band, I was in the Sea Cadets for two or three years or maybe it was two years, but I was, I was in the band playing either the drums or the bugle or the glocking spiel, those are the three instruments that I played at different times. And it's somewhat dark, I remember my dad saying to me, okay the bugle I understand, drums I understand, but why are you playing an instrument you can't even pronounce, like a glocking spiel.

I struggled with that word for a while.

Would you play a glocking spiel? They laughed at me, like come on, I'm only 12. So I also, I remember once I was on the actual carnival float itself, it was basically the back of a lorry really, collecting money in a bucket. Or was it sweets? I always hope, actually back then sweets were more important than money.

Chocolate, anything like that. Money had no meaning. Sweets, they had meaning to me.

Ice creams, things like, you know, that's what life was about back then for me. It hasn't changed much. I'm not sure whether or not I did a float when I was in the karate club, because if they did, if they had a float, then I would have been in it.

I would have been on it. I would have been involved. Oh yes, because I mean, I might have even been involved with one that was part of the school.

I don't remember. I can't remember. My dad was involved because he was part of a company that made caravans.

So called cavaliers, I think they were. It's weird that I remember that. So he was on the float and he was dressed up as a cavalier, which are basically a bit like the, what are those called, the musketeers.

So they were all dressed up pretty much, looked like musketeers. So I might have helped out on that. Might have just stood there like, but I don't know.

I can't ever have a memory of just watching him go past. It's a little bit vague. It's a long time ago.

But it was, yeah, I remember I was on the float at least, I was on a float at least once. I mean, I might have just helped out on another float for something else. So I'd rather be involved than be an observer.

I just find that more interesting. So I think, you know, when I went to the comedy club, I'd rather be helping out in a little way, not like working or anything, just helping out. So if they needed glasses collected or they needed help with something, just give them a hand.

And then I could kind of stand at the back of the room, watch the show, instead of just sitting there kind of stationary. You know, if I was on my own, I've just preferred that, just to be in the background a little bit. But part of it, that's always kind of my mentality back then, is I'd rather be doing something than just being an audience member.

You know, not necessarily being the centre of attention, which I definitely wasn't when I was on the float, because I don't think anyone probably even noticed I was there. It's one of those situations where the only people that were only noticed by your family, probably, or maybe your friends, but then there's so many people there. Not on the float, that is.

I mean, a few people were laughing at me when I was attempting to play the drums or whatever I was doing. Although I still know the tune with the drums. That sounded really rubbish, didn't it? Okay, I'll do it again.

I remember the trumpet was... So I used to like listen to that, that last, those last phrase... because that was the end of the night at the sea cadets I mean it meant we could go home and you know what so there was a big hall a sea cadets hall they also had the army cadets upstairs so they shared the building basically and you know what I'm thinking yeah they those poor people that lived close to that hall every Tuesday and Thursday night was it Friday night Wednesday and Friday might be a Wednesday and Friday

but some reason I seem to think it was a Friday maybe it was a Monday and a Friday or Wednesday and a Friday I definitely believe it was a Friday night I don't know why but I reckon they must have like the neighbors hearing I don't know much it's like hearing those bugles and hearing the drums and all the people like marching and the shouting and all that stuff I remember when I left when I left the sea cadets for good I thought that's it I had to wait until I

had to pick my right moment because I wasn't allowed to leave but then I managed to to do it because I didn't like it I didn't really I didn't like it to start with really but it was still I like part of it but I've never been never been a big lover of being shouted at shouted shouted at no not really not really my thing not really my not really my thing yeah not not really no not really not not no so used to annoy me a little bit so I

just yeah I remember that night because I was at home I think it was the Friday the last Friday and then and then on the Saturday afternoon I think it was there was a knock on the door and there was all these flowers like a big big massive bouquet of flowers and there was chocolates and honestly loads of stuff all like being brought in from either the delivery person in a van or whatever and I'm thinking nothing of it I thought okay it must be must be Valentine's Day or something

and or Mother's Day or Father's Day I don't know I don't I never really cared a bit of that if it didn't involve me I didn't really care you know like you know it's Mother's Day today okay do I get anything no why are you telling me then if you get presents well okay do I get a present no but gain why are we still talking about it tell me about an event where I get presents because I'm not like that now so then yes all these flowers and chocolates and

stuff and doves in a box which I thought I was a little weird not much of a gift is it doves in a box apparently you're supposed to just let them go it's only for that not you know that's why I should leave them in the box and put them in a cupboard leave them and so I I just didn't take any notice of this you know I think I'm I think I was doing a word search puzzle thing you know word searches I like them and I thought he had

my slippers on so I didn't really want to get involved I've always been this kind of person that if I got my slippers on I'm out I've tapped out that's that's me tapping out I've got my slippers on don't don't have an emergency when I got my slippers on that's what I'm saying well there's a breaking downstairs and you know the neighbors saying oh the police should come around can you go and speak to the police I've got my slippers on so if I have to explain this to everyone when

I have my slippers on don't don't get me involved as you said that's why you've got that written on your front door I said yeah I never understood it we didn't ask oh okay what's the other bit the other notice bit what does that mean I said which one he said only enter when you're naked I said it was a joke she said oh okay I wonder if you don't get any visitors I want visitors hmm what am I talking about yes so I dressing up so I think we do

have carnivals but I'm not sure if I've ever seen the carnival in this town I've lived here for since 2007 so 18 years nearly blimey in November be 18 years I've lived in this area lived in this particular area for 10 years but I don't know I didn't know I can't think of anything else where they'd be dressing up fancy dress parties of course that that's an obvious one I suppose but as far as carnivals go Notting Hill carnival is the only one that I know of that's like I mean

that's worldwide that's not just UK wide that's worldwide people come from around the world to go to Notting Hill carnival it's a big big big deal there might also be other ones as well around the country I just don't know about in fact I'm gonna search UK's biggest carnivals I know Notting Hill is gonna come at the top no it's not now that they get muddled up between carnivals and festivals Edinburgh Edinburgh Fringe Festival but it's not carnival is it Glastonbury Festival so these are festivals Notting Hill is a carnival

Brighton Pride Festival Great British Beer Festival Edinburgh Edinburgh International Festival Manchester Pride Festival Reading and Leeds Festival Notting Hill Carnival so I I specifically put in carnival Hackney one carnival oh look the top three UK carnivals to attend let's have a look at this in Notting Hill carnival of course been around since 1966 takes place on the streets of Notting Hill in the rural borough of Kensington and Chelsea over the course of the last weekend of August consists of two days and Hackney one carnival so this one it's a carnival

smaller scale to Notting Hill carnival according to this this is on society 19 dot-com then there's Manchester carnival this carnival is smaller than Notting Hill carnival but bigger than the Hackney one carnival the energy is great and it truly is a celebration of culture music and great costumes this one is the this one is one that you should attend if you want to go big but not too big it is great fun for everyone of all ages oh so yeah I'm guessing top ten carnivals in England let's have a look

Notting Manchester Caribbean Carnival Liverpool International Carnival Leeds West Indian Carnival Bristol Harbour Festival so I'm gonna leave festivals out I'm just gonna go for carnivals I mean I don't think it's the same thing maybe it is Luton International Carnival Reading Carnival Birmingham International Carnival Southampton Mela Festival Mela what does that stand for it's an annual event to celebrate the diversity of Southampton's communities it features a range of performances food and drink stores and carnival style activities and then you've got Darby Caribbean Carnival okay cool so you've got so these are

kind of like anal annual events so cool yeah so there are I just I guess because I don't I mean I bet you if you go to Newcastle or if you go to Nottingham or probably there's definitely a carnival in Ipswich there'd be one in Norwich I'm sure they've got carnivals in Southend and Billericay probably and in the middle middle of the country and you know probably everywhere there's carnivals but yeah so I don't know some reason Germany is currently celebrating carnival many people dress up I think a lot of

the dressing up for us though in this country is people on the possessions rather than the audience but actually that might not be right I'm not the biggest going out person in the world and being around a huge crowd like that is yes not really my thing I don't you know I would probably I mean I remembered the last time I was in any kind of big situation like really big crowds was by accident and we've got this cenotaph thing in the town centre remembrance I think it's like a war

remembrance statue thing and on one side there was a big crowd on another side there was a big crowd and they're being separated by police so I'm just walking up one end of the street that's what it is and I and I'm kind of just standing there wondering what's happening I didn't know if it was I generally didn't know what it was all about and there was probably 100 maybe 200 people on each side wasn't like a big crowd but it was maybe 150 on each side 200 but there is

I'd say probably about 30 police 40 police loads of police vans and stuff so I'm just chatting and one side was just outside this pub and it was the entrance to the park and the police weren't restricting the public you could walk into the park it was just that line the barrier between the two groups so I start chatting like having a laugh with this bloke and I didn't ask him what it was about I just didn't really care to be honest I was just I don't know just enjoying the

day it was a nice sunny day and that was it and then the people the bloke next to me started waving at the other people and so did the other people started waving but on my side waving at the the other group because the other group would be in a bit aggressive shouting names at them like and I thought it took me a little while before I realized that the people on my side weren't actually waving they were doing a certain salute that's not very popular these days and the other

side was shouting Nazi scum Nazi scum at my side now I didn't realize it still took a while for it to click I thought maybe I was in a some kind of church thing because they sometimes put their hands up don't they to the sky and stuff so I thought well maybe it's a religious thing and then I started noticing the signs of the other side were holding up and then I started to notice some of the things that the people on my side were shouting out and I thought oh

okay and if I'm honest with you I equally wouldn't didn't really want to be on the other side either because they didn't seem very pleasant to be honest so I was like bit too much too many angry people for me I think I'm gonna get myself a burger so that's what I did I made my excuses and left I said take care he said I can't shake your hand I'm using it at the moment I said yeah I know I see you and you're waving so I'm not waving I said

I know but I'm gonna pretend you are waving so I can still think of you as a human he said okay fair enough see you mate I said yeah see you see you later at home bye see you dad and it was kind of it was weird really and I thought how many people in in the other group all around saw me standing there that to this day see me in town thinking Nazi Nazi I like which you know let's imagine someone shouting out like Nazi out the window as I'm

walking past like I'll be friend to myself how do they know how do they know no no no no no no weird though it was very strange very strange to be I mean technically on the wrong side but I wouldn't want to be on either side I'm not into all that kind of stuff no no really for me I'd rather be at home with the slippers I don't like to be bothered when I got the slippers on I think I've answered your questioning I might not have answered it completely how you would have it envisioned but yeah that's pretty much it just all's good yeah we do have dress-up we don't outside of Halloween as an annual dress-up day I'd say Halloween St.

Patrick's Day for some people but you know there's a lot of people that aren't 48% Irish like me that celebrate it but I've never celebrated St.

Patrick's Day and then you've got yeah I remember Mother's Day that used to be like my stepmum she used to she didn't so much dress up but she used to not get dressed and just lays around and expect us all to do everything on that day she thought just basically dressed up as a lazy lazy parent all day long okay you sit in your dressing gown I'll make your breakfast yeah you want another cup of tea dear yeah okay I'm the kid you know you're supposed to be making me tea

and me breakfast I didn't think that at all funny enough no one ever wanted me to cook for them I actually did a romantic oh wow I just remembered this this is like years and years ago I think it's the first time I ever cooked anyone breakfast like a proper cooked breakfast sausages beans and I don't know what else there was eggs you know whatever and she didn't eat any of them didn't eat it like it was so like oh she's like having a celiac so something's like yeah but I

made it for you I just cooked I spent just spent the last hour cooking it for you I said there by what's it actually can't eat that stuff because it makes me ill I'll just have a couple of eggs go on have just have some chips have some just fry up come on and I don't know it just I'm sure you agree with me it's very inconsiderate oh that's a true story part of it was true the true bit I did make her a breakfast and she didn't eat it but

yeah I can't blame her for not eating it I'm not sure I think that's when I had Andre because so he had some the he loved he loved eggs Andre loved his eggs so that's it really I think it does kind of feel like ages since I made a recording and it's only been a couple of days but it feels longer I mean I'm not sure if I know how to do them anymore how to do this what do I what do I normally I normally say goodbye at some point

and I anyway I'm gonna go so thank you for listening remember to be kind to yourself because you do deserve to be happy be gentle with yourself and maybe do something nice for yourself you know we've got the weekend coming up give yourself a treat yourself a nice whatever it is maybe a long bath or eat something you haven't eaten for a while that you really enjoy or watch a movie whatever something that makes you feel good it's just a suggestion lots of love bye
