(music) (10 hours) 9 Pillows LMBYTS #1467 Jason Newland 19th October 2025

Hello and welcome to jasonnewland.com. My name is Jason Newland. Please only listen when you can safely close your eyes. This is Let Me Bore You To Sleep and it is Sunday's Papers so I'm going to have a look through the Sunday's Newspapers and I just realised as well maybe not just realised but just remembered maybe I realised before but forgot or didn't care there's not a lot of choice of Sunday's Papers.

In fact because I'm using Readly, is it Readly? Readly yeah the app and I paid to use it. So if I go to Newspapers, just click on Newspapers, Show All, so I've got 1, 2, so there's the Independent, Wales on Sunday, Sunday Mail, The Observer, Daily Star, Sunday, Sunday Express, Sunday Mirror, Sunday People and that's it. So which is I suppose quite a few like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 7 of those are basically just UK national papers.

The problem is as I'm looking there are no American newspapers, there are no Australian newspapers, there are no Canadian newspapers, there are no New Zealand newspapers. Basically other than, I mean Wales, I don't know if it's in Welsh or if it's in English, let me just check, it's this particular paper is written in English, OK. So as far as English papers are written in the English language, it seems to be stuck to Wales and the UK, well the UK, Wales is part of the UK, so the UK.

But there's not even a Scottish Sunday newspaper, as far as I can see on here, I'm sure there is in Scotland but not on this app and that's got me thinking because, and I don't like things that get me thinking. I just saw on Facebook, there was this question on one of the, like a Facebook group from my local area, asking if anyone could recommend a plasterer, now I had a plasterer that lived opposite me for about 8 years and then he moved and now he lives up next door to someone I speak to who's got a dog.

I could not think of what his name is, because I wanted to like suggest him, because I don't know, it just seemed like a nice thing to do but I can't remember his name.

And that bugged me, and I'm still thinking about that dinosaur song, who was that model or that actress that was in, that spoke in that dinosaur song from the 90s, and it wasn't Walk Your Dinosaur, it wasn't that one, it was a different song. I mean it doesn't keep me up, you know, it doesn't keep me up, it doesn't, you know, just, I'd like to know the answers.

So my question is where are all the other newspapers that are English speaking newspapers, I realise in Canada some of them will be French speaking, but that's, as far as I'm aware, that's a specific section of the country.

A part of America I'm sure are, I've got other languages as well, because there's such a huge society of different nationalities living there, as I'm sure London has its own different newspapers and stuff, like locally for the various groups of people that live in London. I'm thinking, hmm, what, hmm, you know, I'd like to read some newspapers from Australia, and I'm sure I did once do that, but where is they?

Where is they gone? So what I could do is try and find the other app that I used to subscribe to. What was it called? I've got too many apps on this, PressReader, that's it, PressReader.

So let's see if I can look to see what newspapers are on PressReader before I actually, ooh, what's going on here? All downloads. Right, so they've got USA Today. Browse, I want to browse.

Right, this is not working. PressReader, PressReader. I think the problem with PressReader is I'm not signed up to them, so they're not allowing me to look in.

So let's have a look. If I go into the internet, PressReader, PressReader. My library, bookmarks.

So yeah, this, from what I'm seeing, reading, PressReader does have American newspapers. So what I'm going to do, I'll just put in best app for all English speaking newspapers. I mean, English written probably would be the better way to say it, wouldn't it? Applications, newspapers, speaking languages.

The People's Daily. What's the People's Daily? Let's have a look at that. That's Chinese, Chinese one.

So you've got the New York Times, the Times, the Telegraph, UK newspapers, Apple's on Google Play. You'll have access to 30 online newspapers for free. Right, OK.

I want to use PressReader. UK news app, PressReader, digital. So this is Apple's.

Let's have a look. Let's click on there because that's the one I used to use. So if I go to PressReader.com, featured, allow all.

OK. So follow PressReader on social. Newspapers, so see all the different newspapers that are available.

The Wall Street Journal. The Washington Post, USA Today, The Guardian. Now, this has got the 18th, so it's a day behind.

Boston Globe, Daily Express, The Mirror, Star, Irish Independent, Miami Herald, Dallas Morning News, Weekend Australia, Chicago Sun-Times, Bangkok Post. Ireland, so you've got Herald, Sun, Sunday Independent. This is a heavy look.

The Indian Express. There's quite a few actually. Quite a few indeed.

It's weird that the Sun isn't on here. The Sun doesn't seem to want itself to be on any of these things. And that's like the most tabloid paper in the UK, the Sun.

Loads of local stuff, but we get that anyway on the other one that I use. So quite a few different places, like Ireland, local Irish newspapers. It looks like a lot of newspapers when it covers the different local areas.

Hmm. But as far as different countries, if I was to search, if I was to search, let's search Canada, Canada. No publications.

I want publications, modern dog, children and tweens, kayak. I don't know. Oh, no, this is the animal, animals and pets, children and tweens, fashion.

So let's go down to newspapers. No, no newspapers. See, that's what surprises me, because I thought there would be.

I really did. Canada News. Maybe they'll bring something up.

All publications, 185. Nope. Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes.

The Maui News. Aerotech News. These are just newspapers that I've found.

Shanghai, Shanghai. Phuket News. Why would that be under Australia? The Dallas Morning News.

Dallas isn't in Australia, is it? Or is it half in Australia and half in America? I don't know. Maybe there's a border. Boxing News.

So yeah, that, I mean, I was just trying to think maybe that's why I got rid of it. Also, it's too expensive, but I just I mean, why is it not got anything at all? Yes, it has got some up to date stuff. Okay.

But the Mirror, the Daily Star, 18th, 18th. What about today? What about now? More hotspot for you to click some for you. No, that's weird.

So anyway, that's, that's why I'm not with them. Maybe this another, another, another, another, another app. That would be a bit better.

New free, sorry, newspapers, subscriptions, access and offer free newspapers. Okay. So yeah, these are just things that you probably get through the letterbox.

So if I go back. News, newspapers, subscriptions. I think this does offer you a chance to subscribe to individual newspapers.

Browse press readers selection of online newspapers that are available to subscribe to individually. These digital newspaper subscriptions include top publications from around the world in many languages and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. So yeah, digital newspapers.

Because on press reader app, it says read 7000 plus newspapers, magazines with one app. It's not even up to date. So I'm not going to go there.

But I do want to know what other Okay. What other apps are there? The five best news apps 2025. This is on Zapier.

Apple News, Google News, Flipboard, Ground News, Rise. And what was this one? So we'll look at Apple News. Access a ton of paywalled content.

Expensive can't pair to others on this list. Only available on Apple devices. It's a great option for US Apple users.

The app is available across all iPad, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Offers a decent free service $12.99 a month, which is what I'm paying anyway. Yeah, paying more than that for this one I'm using.

Google News. I want it on the iPad because it's just easier to manoeuvre when I'm reading the screen. Complete.

Let's have a look. Let's have a look at this then. Apple News.

Let's have a little look. Download that. Houston Chronicle.

Open it up. Welcome to Apple News. The best stories from the sources you love.

Selected just for you. Now that's nice that they selected just for me, isn't it? I mean, I didn't even know they knew who I was. But it's nice.

Just to think that they planned ahead for me, you know, for when I came on there. And they've already selected stories for me. Although looking at it, I'm not particularly happy with some of the stories they have selected.

Okay. Just. I was looking at some of these stories and.

Oh. For some reason. Okay, it's done.

Taking its time, wasn't it? There's a thing about radio, isn't it? So don't leave. They call it dead air, I think. You can't be quiet on radio.

This isn't radio. So there you are. I don't leave like huge long pauses.

I want to see what newspapers are available because they've got stories. There's a Prince William. He's got a lovely little beard.

It's kind of. It's hard to know whether he's going grey or it's just the ginger bits because I had that because I had a ginger beard and to start with. I was.

It was kind of the ginger. Well, the ginger bits went grey first, but it didn't. It wasn't quite as noticeable.

I mean, if anything, the ginger bits, the ginger bits turning grey was a little bit of a relief. You know, any ginger hair that changed color to a different color was a plus really to me at the time, but I don't mean that at all. Oh, Prince Willie.

He's about 11 years younger than me. He's only a young man still. It's only in his early 40s.

Just have a look. So I need to find the newspaper. So this is new.

My magazines. This is just like stories. But I know that the stories are oldest.

There's a story about. New Macs, iPads and more revealed in surprising leak. Really? A story about Apple products on the Apple News app.

Oh, who'd have thought it? Let's have a look. What have we got here? The Telegraph, the Sunday, the Times and the Sun. The Sunday Times.

Toronto Star. Le Monde. What is that? I don't know.

It looks French. Isn't it French? The Australian. The Globe and Mail.

LA Times. WS, old Wall Street Journal. Hertz, whatever that is.

The Washington Post. Akron Beacon Journal. I don't know what that is either.

Owl.com. The Telegraph. Argus Leader. Asbury Park Press.

Citizen Times. This is the Asheville Citizen Times. Athens Baner Herald.

The Augusta Chronicle. This is very sensible stuff. I don't mean this.

This is like Cape Cod Times. Right, shall we have a look at that? Cape Cod. Will that be about fish? It's just got articles.

It hasn't got the whole newspaper. I want to see the whole newspaper. Legendary basketball coaches share leadership lessons.

Jobs report new Cape Cod bridges. Cloven Retailers open. Isn't it weird? It's strange seeing it like this.

Because. Apparently, Beyonce reportedly visited this $40 million Nantucket mansion featured on Willow Gone Wild. Willow Gone Wild.

OK. The home called the Nantucket Coastal Equestrian Estate on the listing. Has horse paddocks and can sleep 23 people.

$40 million and can sleep 23 people. That's good, isn't it? 23 people. Nantucket.

I don't know why. I've always found that it's kind of a strange name to say. Nantucket.

Is $40 million a lot for a house? I don't know. I've never bought a house before. How many bedrooms and bathrooms does it have? The Nantucket mansion has 8 bedrooms.

How can it sleep 26 people if it's only got 8 bedrooms? 8 bathrooms and 1 half bath. OK. Sorry.

I might be slow. What's a half a bath? How does the water stay in it if it's only half a bath? That makes no sense to me. Please let me know if you understand what that is.

Inside the home features a huge kitchen with an 8 burner range. Dual ovens, 2 dishwashers and a soft serve machine. There's also... I don't know what that is.

There's also a home office, gym and southern style game room. That includes shuffleboard, billiards, a full bar and a band set up. Outside the grounds include paddocks for horses, a pool, a spa and fire pits.

The home reportedly hosted the wedding of Beyoncé's former assistant Sam Greenberg. Instagram users blast the price. Oh, what's she going to do? Instagram users don't like the price.

Wow. I wonder how is she getting over that one? Beyoncé, and she's scared to leave the house, isn't she? Oh no, I want to go out but I can't because... People on Instagram don't like the price of a house I looked at. I don't know, maybe.

Is it even waterfront for that price? Asked Ashley Jennings. And the person who buys his house uses summer as a verb. Said Chris Cavallari, Angry Bird GTI.

I don't know really what that means. What kind of music does a garage band in Nantucket play? Wrong answers only. Is there only a certain type of music that you're allowed to play in certain places in the country? Because we don't have that ruled here.

We play whatever music we want to play. There are no laws that say we can only play a certain type of music if you live in a certain part of... You know what I mean? Maybe there is in America, I don't know. Okay, right.

Okay, I have to be careful with this one. No, I can't. I want to talk about it but I can't.

This is in the Telegraph. Telegraph. Okay.

Just reading it. I don't get it. I'm reading it but I can't read it out loud.

I can but I can't. I don't want to. You can't make me.

It's an unusual case. And at the same time... It opens a lot of questions. None of which I can really raise.

Let's have a look inside Kanye West's 57 million Malibu beachfront mansion. He totally gutted. I wonder what Instagram would think about that.

Some new photos of... Just repeating all the words that they just said. So I want to read that again. And now they've mentioned 57 million.

Mansion. And Kanye West three times so far. And we're only starting the story.

Now they've mentioned Kanye again. So that's four. Five.

Six. Okay. Oh, now they've stopped mentioning him.

Maybe they realise we know who it is that we're reading about now. You never know. Maybe that's... No.

57 million. I feel like I'm now an Instagram troll. But... Unless these places are deceivingly small.

Or deceivingly big rather. However you want to look at it. Because it doesn't look very big.

But I think in these situations it's about location. Because for that amount of money... In this country... I mean, blimey. If you went up... There's parts of this country, 57 million.

Which is... In the UK, probably, what, about 40 million pounds. Maybe 42 million pounds, I don't know. Still, you know... It's still a bit of cash, isn't it? Still enough to get you through for a few months.

You get a few biscuits for that. I... You could buy... A mention. Let me just check.

Let's have a look. See what mentions. Mentions for sale... In England.

I'm going to go England. I mean, it doesn't matter. It could be... If I just put UK.

So it could be Wales, Scotland. That'd be cool to live in Wales or Scotland. Especially, you know, if you've got a mention.

You haven't got to talk to the locals. It doesn't matter where you are, does it? Really. Luxury homes for sale in the United Kingdom.

Let's have a look. James Edition. That's the name.

Jamesedition.com See? These are big places, right? There's a mention. 8,450 square foot. Seven bedroom house.

In Scotland. Villa in Durlington. Seven beds.

Huge. Huge house. In fact, it's pretty much like two houses.

Massive with ground. 2.9 million. I mean, it's huge.

You could probably fit. 10 of Kanye West's 57 million houses in that. But, you know, it's not on the beach like Kanye West's house.

You've got this other place. It's a castle in Dunblane. A castle.

I tell you. A castle. Seven beds, three baths.

Bathrooms. Or just three baths. Maybe not a bathroom.

You think. I'm not being pedantic. Maybe I am.

Considering this is. I would argue. The upper echelons of society.

As far as buying, purchasing a property. You know, 2 million plus. Is out of the range for.

I'd say 90%. Maybe 95% of the population. I don't know what the percentage is.

Maybe 90%. You know, maybe some people could get a mortgage for that kind of property. But it's not within grasp of the average person.

And they could be making. Put what 10% commission. Which is for that sort of 3 million one.

That's what 300,000. They're going to be making commission. Or they can make a lot of money commission on each of these.

Why can't they put the whole. Word bathrooms. Instead of just baths.

I mean, it's R-O-O-M. Four extra letters. That would improve the website for me.

Maybe. Maybe there's no need for me to be like that. I don't know.

Okay. Now this. Here's the difference.

And I'm sure it's pretty much the same. With. Kanye.

Kanye West. Whoa. Okay.

Right. Now you can buy a castle. The 2.1 million.

You can buy. For more. It looks like a stately home.

Probably maybe it isn't. But it's huge. The 2.9 million.

There is. Wow. I don't even want.

I don't know what that is. Looks like a castle. But there's another one.

It's. Pretty much a stately home. In fact, I'd say it is a stately home.

4.2 million. Six beds. Six baths.

And it's on its own ground. And everything like that. And that's in Scotland.

You got another one. Huge house. 4.4 million.

15 beds. Nine baths. 17,339 square foot.

In Worswell. You got another. Looks like some kind of stately home in Addington.

2.8 million. Admittedly, these would cost a lot of money to run. Like yearly.

You got one. It's a bungalow. 4 million.

4 million pound bungalow. Three beds. Three bathrooms.

1,840 square foot. But it looks like you've got your own beach. So.

I think you're kind of paying for your own beach. But beaches in this country aren't necessarily secure. So.

You might have to put your own landmines out there. Oh my gosh. Bungalow in Arne.

I don't know what Arne is. Is that Scotland as well? The thing is, these little islands are never far away from anything, are they? I think they're usually quite close to other land. I know technically it is land.

I don't know about that. It's kind of land. And they call it mainland.

You know, you can go to the mainland. So. I don't know.

4 million. Hmm. See, this is nice.

They've got a picture of a house. Eight beds. It's in East Lothian.

Which I think it also is the United Kingdom. And that's Scotland as well, I think. But they've got a picture of it with the sun down.

Like there's clouds. And there's all the lights on. It looks lovely.

And that's a clever picture. You've even got a nine bedroom. Eight baths.

850. Thousand pounds. Well, there's a house here.

Seven beds, five baths. In Sabden. Where that is.

7,659 square foot. Can't even see the house because. The.

The grass. Basically it's in fields. So I guess you've got the field.

Wow. This is really beautiful. Swansea.

2.7 million. Six beds. Five baths.

And it's near the beach. Very beautiful. Big old thing.

So that's kind of. Some of the places. It's another one.

A country house in North Crawley. Huge. Absolutely huge.

1.5 million. Five beds. Six baths.

And these are just huge houses. Another one here. Clifton upon Dunsmore.

Which I think is also Scotland. 1.25 million. Seven bedrooms.

Five houses. And five. Baths.

House in Whitehall. Looks like a mansion. So there's lots of different ones.

They're big, big places. But they're kind of like the 2 million mark. Big high ceilings.

Lots of ground. The further away from London. The cheaper it is.

As far as size. And what you get. So if you get into London.

For example. There's a five bed. Four bedroom.

Five beds. Four bathroom house. 4,699 square foot.

Which is quite a lot, isn't it? 5 million. So that's in London. There's another one in Boodley.

Which I guess is. What's that? Near London, is it? 5 million. Seven bedrooms.

Seven baths. 14,682 square foot. It's.

It's just amazing what you get. If you just move away. But then you've got this.

This is in London. Wow. Eight bedrooms.

Eight bathrooms. 6,480 square foot. It looks a little bit like an office block.

There's one. Two. Three.

Four. Four layers to it. Maybe there's a basement as well.

I don't know. But from the outside. It doesn't.

To me it doesn't look like someone's house. It looks like it's. Like a business or something.

12.9 million. In London. 12.9. And there's another one.

16.7 million. In Long Parish. But it's.

25,242 square foot. So. It's a huge house.

But if you include. What you're looking at. The grass.

The ground. You can hardly even see the house. There's so much ground.

It's. I mean that's. It's a lot of money isn't it.

Just to have someone. I reckon if you paid someone. To cut that lawn.

It would be a full time job. Just. Not gardening.

Not pruning. Not even trimming the edges. Or trimming the bushes.

I know some people like to trim their bush. Just mowing the lawn. Would.

Maybe not on one of the CE ones. If you. If in two ones you push.

I guess you wouldn't use one of those. For. A lawn that size.

But if there's also. Ground around. Ground around.

It would be. You know. Full time job.

If I go saw premium popular. Highest price first. Okay.

Let's go to highest price first. Shall we. Highest price first.

Whoa. But I was wrong. Blimey.

So they've got one here. Seven point. Four point seven million.

Eight beds. House in Thurston. County.

Country house. I mean yeah. That's a lot of money.

But then you go down. The highest price house. They've got.

I can't even believe it. You ready for this. It's a penthouse.

Okay. It's a. It's a hundred and seventy five. Million pounds.

Which in dollars would be over. Two hundred million probably. Five.

Bedroom. With eight bathrooms. Eighteen thousand square foot.

Now. I. I. I. I don't know what to say to that one. Because that.

Is. It's a flat. Basically.

It. It. It's.

It's. Located in. Iconic.

One. Hyde Park. Okay.

Fair enough. It's in a. It's in a really good destination. Year.

Year built. Fourteen hundred. Blimey.

That's older than some countries. Isn't it. Imagine as people listen to this.

These countries. That you're living in. Aren't as old as that.

That flat. Or that apartment. Wow.

I wonder if they'll let me have a look. Might have to wear a bow tie for that one. They got one here.

Seven point five million penthouse. They got a settee and a duvet. Outside.

That doesn't sound like a very good idea. does it? I mean technically it's a nice idea in the sense of oh we're outside it's a lovely day let's sit outside but you can't leave it outside maybe there's some special way of doing it I don't know right okay let's back to this so I want to just have a look at the photos the living room lovely not a lot of room though I'm sure it's a big size room this like the settee the sofas probably sit one two three four well two of me so four of me that would fit

it might fit six people but only four of me and then there's further up there's some more seating more seating in two seats so eight nine ten eleven twelve thirteen fourteen people sitting in the sofa it like in the living room I'm thinking though the living at the other side of it so one side's got all windows around it it overlooks the park and then the other side is and I'm wondering if they've done this in a way no they haven't because it's a long room and you see the other

side I'm just wondering if they've done it in a way to make it look bigger in photographs but from the looks of it there's another bunch of sofas one two so yeah I mean you could have a party there my issue is the decor not I mean I wouldn't why would anyone want that many seats there's only one of me I'm not just one sofa so Vinnie can sit or maybe my own my own chair and one is big enough for him to sort of sit on the side of it

I guess I could have another chair for a visitor if one had to have to come but I mean I turn the buzzer off anyway so no one can catch get to me I just yeah just seeing that many that many sofas it makes me feel queasy it's like oh can you imagine having that many visitors coming around no but then in the middle they call these tables which I understand as a visitor tables are kind of handy you know to put your drink on or an ashtray or whatever else

you know something to put stuff on as a visitor but living in the space it's just an obstacle that's gonna get in the way I'm gonna bang my toes on so I like to have tables to the side of the sofa or the chair so that I can put my drink on there or my plate or my biscuits or whatever not in the middle I don't you know I like to have my feet free now in reality if I was in that room I reckon it's either smaller than it looks

or it's bigger than it looks that gap between the table and the sofas you know tables in the middle and the sofas maybe there's enough room for two people to walk down I don't think so but it's possible at the other side of it there is doesn't look to me like it's a place if someone lives someone lives it looks like it might be somewhere that someone had gone holiday you know or when they're in business in London they'll stay there there's some super rich person well it'd have to be

a super rich person to spend a hundred and seventy five million in the first place and that's that's billionaire status isn't it because it probably how much would the the land rent or the the upkeep cost every year probably millions probably I don't know the kitchen I'm not complaining I'm not complaining about the kitchen that's what I notice in so many places considering how much they cost I expect the kitchen to be big enough for a plane to land you know it is in this kitchen okay it's a lot bigger

than mine most things are bigger than mine but it's not that big there's enough room around the cabinet like the that's you know the table bit where the food is prepared so on the other side where people might eat so there's one two four chairs maybe five chairs which is not a lot and also okay right so there's some bread it looks like they've got some scones in a bowl but they're green I mean you think they'd use some fresh produce and there's a there's a cookbook in a little like

holder opened up to a recipe now I don't know if I had a place like that whether or not I would cook for myself considering I don't cook for myself now I don't think I would hmm Oh a bathroom the bathrooms I think they're messing up on the bathroom bit here because according to this the bathrooms have a bedding so why has the bathroom got a bed now these are the pictures right I'm clicking on the bathroom there's no picture of a bathroom no picture of a shower a bath or

anything it's just a bed with one two three four five six seven eight nine pillows unnecessary and damn right offensive actually if you ask me six three nine pillows no it's no never any need for that just got you always got a good punch bag in the gym or like it now it's got a nice gym nice little home gym but you could put all that together for ten grand probably much less so you know the gym the gym equipment's not expensive to put together it pretty you could pull out

like a running machine and the cross trainer punch bag some weights even if you bought the top equipment it's not gonna be more than ten grand so you know I suppose I shouldn't get excited about a punch bag why is it not showing the bathrooms I find that a little bit weird they're asking for hot one points 175 million that's what how much they're asking me for okay yet they won't show a picture of a bathroom don't you think maybe they've left some stuff out or is the exterior and it

is nice you know I mean yeah it has kind of should be really shouldn't it I don't know about the chandeliers don't really see the point in all that it's a little bit extravagant what's wrong with just a normal light the kitchen the kitchen is okay I mean yeah it's nice it's a nice kitchen one Hyde Park I don't know if you'd actually have that sign on your wall but it is quite a coveted address I do believe let's have a look at the floor plan the floor plan how can

the agent send you the floor plan just show me the floor plan are you doing this is ridiculous oh when it's showing you is it's backing off on where the river is and stuff so this it looks alright but I don't know if I'm really that bothered it's a duplex Brent house penthouse rather located in iconic one Hyde Park so one Hyde Park might be the whole building and I'm pretty sure that this 175 million is not the whole building so there's probably quite a few of these there I mean

it might not be but from the looks of it the living room is up high and is above the trees so unless the bedrooms downstairs it's yeah it's an apartment block hmm has a pool well why didn't it mention the pool has a Jacuzzi has a sauna has a water view has a steam room has a cinema has a fitness center gym a fireplace and a terrace maybe that that is just the it's like shared stuff that's shared with the other people in that complex or duplex rather yeah probably yeah

that makes sense not giving a lot away though I thought it would give more information so there's the gym I've looked at all the pictures and this you know hmm yeah I don't think I'm not saying you know if it was someone bought it for me and as a gift you know I wouldn't like oh I don't want that I wouldn't be rude but I'm not sure if I'd I don't know I'm not really an extravagant person and possibly because I've never maybe been in the position to be but I

do I quite like the idea of having a flat in London near the West End like an apartment near the West End plus somewhere to live you know somewhere nice as well no I mean the West End it's nothing wrong with London but it I'd like you know so I could go to go to the theatre and have somewhere to stay in when I was there three bedroom apartment in London 26.7 million it's really weird I mean these these apartments are in a building the size of what you would get

for that amount of money in a different part of country so these are the most expensive properties available on this place 55 million for seven bedrooms seven baths house in London that's all I tell you it's a house in London as with Savills so I think it's a different Savill why is it taking so long to open up come on open up but not in 1997 anymore come on taking its time five Whistler Square Chelsea Barracks Belgravia London so this is exquisitely designed by internationally renowned architects don't be introducing things

like fashion it's wasted on me oh yeah oh look living it's they're very focused on a certain color it looks alright yeah I don't know it's got a setting that's way too long I mean you literally have to sit cross-legged what's the point in that unless that's the bed that might be the bed actually floor plan bathroom exterior living room bedrooms no it's not pictures of the bedrooms for that amount money you'd think that allow me to see the pick the bedroom 68 million six baths no bedrooms just six baths

penthouse in London let's have a look at this one come on Wow the internet really is going slow today and I don't know why I wish I did because then I'd tell you why but I can't tell you why because I don't know why it's definitely going slow so this is 68 million still no pictures come up yet oh here we go a luxury penthouse in Mayfair with iconic London skyline views oh this is nice not the exterior is quite pleasant what's what's the thing or is in a manga what's

it called like coffee place manger manga thing manger thing coffee place so it's next to that again it looks like it could be a an office block maybe it used to be an office block and underneath looks like some kind of restaurant underneath so I don't want I guess it'd be nice to have I don't want businesses and stuff underneath where I live oh it's got like outside oh what's this an outside exterior where you can sit down to chairs and stuff again there's sofas and there's a fire like a

fireplace thing it looks nice and let's face it it'd be pretty amazing to be able to sit there and chill out on a all year round because sometimes you know there's nice days all year round in this country maybe not so much in a winter but you know even once we get to like February we have some nice days where you could sit outside in a in a jacket or something just enjoy the Sun but or even November even December perhaps January I'm stuttering because I'm really struggling to figure out

what happens to these sofas when they're not being used and you could you could argue or the same thing that happens to all sofas when they're not being used what do you mean by that what do you mean they all start dancing with each other no but what what happened they're on the outside where it rains or where it might rain we're in England where it will rain I don't know but looks like quite a nice place and that's for that's yeah I like that that's quite nice I think the

living area again I'm not I would want all the stuff out well I'm not into posters I'm not into pictures you know these big expensive paintings or whatever they've got on there and decorations really unless it has some kind of meaning the settees so I'd have to like not gut it but just get rid of all that stuff and then there's another so this I'm just gonna wait a second this is a living room is this the same just one living room the living area I see what they've done bless

them they've taken it from a different angle yeah and so you can see where the pictures are there they've done it from a different angle this is quite a few chairs on both sides so for someone that has a family this would be nice because things are spread out but there's lots of seating area and there's a big table as well which seats 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 about 12 people but that's like toe-to-toe you'll be touching each other's knees which is fine if that's what

you like and there's another that's not what I want there's another table it's a see-through table which I don't know about glass see-through tables I don't think it's necessary when I make my dinner I don't really want to see other people's feet I don't know I do all their legs or whatever I just I want to just focus on my dinner you know especially if it's in the summer and my dad's wearing those tight shorts and maybe he doesn't realize just you know I mean just like no I don't want

to see see-through glass table I don't want to see my own feet although I would you know I haven't seen them for a few years but it'll be nice just to check they're still there but that seats one two one two three four five six now that is evenly spaced out so that's fine unless it's for really small people but from the looks of it it looks okay but it's very close to the door now that's something that I would think you wouldn't need to necessarily have to put up with

if you were living in a place that cost how much is this couple hundred thousand oh 68 million okay so a table near a door shouldn't have to be there shouldn't be any really any obstacles I don't think for a property costing that much money and then we've got the kitchen oh it's nice I like that and this is good because it's got the there's a table area there's a cooking area of course well it's a kitchen cupboard space which is handy and there's enough room for four people to eat

like their breakfast at the counter but also there's enough room it's a big old counter so you know got plenty room to do stuff as well I'll make a jigsaw puzzle or something Wow I could make a jigsaw puzzle mind you after buying it I wouldn't be able to afford to get a jigsaw puzzle would I how annoying would that be you spend 68 million on a property and you finally have enough space to make a jigsaw without having to keep moving it or having some kind of board or something

and you can't afford to actually buy a jigsaw puzzle it's one of those uh isn't it ironic don't you think moments isn't it and then there's another table it's a round table one two three four five six seven eight nine so one two three four five six seven eight nine okay it's a round table nine chairs if I mean it looks nice it's nice way too squashed together again it doesn't seem any need for it to be so squashed together nine people why would you ever want to be a table

with nine people or eight other people I mean what is the point in spending 68 million pounds on a property on a home and end up eating with eight other people I mean that's that's like the opposite of freedom isn't it and that people are like living in some kind of hostel the kitchens nice though I like them chairs but I don't I don't think the chairs are really an issue because what's the most the chair is going to cost even high level what a grand I mean I would never

spend a grand on a chair but I'm just saying you know it's the things like that although they might make the place look nice it doesn't really matter because the interior and the tables and all that stuff the whole lot of it wouldn't cost more than what couple hundred grand the tables the sofas all that stuff I say a million even so it's nothing when you got 68 million all that stuff if it was just all empty what it looked like empty the whole empty room I don't know why I

feel they need to say empty one more time empty yeah not empty but empty I like the kitchen it's alright actually hmm now we come to the bedroom I don't know what the heck that is so there's there's a main bedroom they're showing three bedrooms here one's a double bedroom like a double bed there's a chair so this is weird right the big old windows but the curtains are not closed properly they're not that they're open but they're a bit scruffy and then the bed looks nice but it's one of

those old-fashioned ones with the big like frame and the curtains around the bed which with mosquito nets which we don't really need I really need here and then oh I must be a television because this this thing just standing there but I guess it must be a TV okay cool but then I'm not complaining all right I'm not complaining there's a chair and the cushions very crumpled on the chair at some point somebody must have known that a photograph was going to be taken of this room because I'm sure a

photographer didn't just like break in to take pictures you know it was organized it was a you know it's a situational thing it was a business transaction I'm just guessing they paid someone to do it so the curtains are messy they're uneven the chair I mean there's the cushions not not properly puffed there's got just sticks or like incense sticks into the bedrooms which makes me wonder how smelly they are how smelly are those rooms where people need to have incense in just sticks in incest to whatever they're called people

only use them outside of like religious you know ceremonies and stuff whatever meditation to kind of get rid of bad smells and the reason I say that is because everyone brings one into my home whenever they come and I say is it because of the evil spirits they know it's because you stink I said okay thanks are we meditating no you smell bad okay thanks even at the Buddhist Center this they put incest on and so the whole place was like filled with this like aromatic stuff and I said is

meditation about to begin is it and she said no no finished we just saw you come and we thought better get prepared smelly it's like Wow harsh I said no you're harsh harsh on our noses mmm today there's a room here it's a bedroom here two beds right two beds I'm talking two beds in one room right I'm sorry like I gotta go I gotta go back I gotta go back 68 million and it's supposed to have it says six bathrooms or six baths didn't mention the beds did it now

we know why from the looks of it there's three bedrooms one with a double bed with uneven curtains one again uneven curtains I could have sorted that out before they took a picture and there's a book on the cabinet you know the I guess it's like a little sock cabinet or something set of drawers why is there a book there and randomly just a book and two chairs the two time the thing is it's not just two two beds it's two double beds in the same room what does that end

I mean I just don't know what to think can you imagine if you like you had a friend and they said oh I'm inviting you you know I'm gonna invite you to come to see my 68 million pound flat I just bought my apartment in London 68 million said yeah where are we gonna stay cheekily so have you got enough room for us to stay there because you assume there'll be loads of room and I said yeah yeah I've even got a double bed you could sleep in so oh brilliant

so I can bring you a new boyfriend or whatever oh brilliant to go along and anyone else coming there's only you and two others it's like okay who's that so oh it's Vicky and Steve or Vicky and Steve oh that'd be nice so they've you know so okay brilliant and you get there and you realize you're both staying in the same bedroom they've got one double bed you've got one double bed and you were hoping to maybe progress your relationship shall we say maybe increase the romantic side of things push

forward with the with the love perhaps maybe even tell each other stories explore each other's feet I don't know what people do when they're together humans and what if you haven't seen the room you didn't know that you can be sharing a room with another couple and you having a great time and they're thinking the same thing you're thinking you know maybe this is really good I'm having a nice time I'll be so glad to get away from that couple because they're really annoying but at least we'd be able to

go back to our bedroom and be together away from them and they're probably thinking the same thing well they might not be thinking that they might be thinking oh oh how lovely they are but you know just saying they might be thinking it'd be nice to have a break from them now don't know who they are not sure why we were invented invented invited don't know why I say invented instead of invited and then you end up having this an in-line conversation in your voice you like you know why am

I saying in line well actually I want to say online but online wouldn't make sense either oh it's almost like it's might be time to finish the recording my words have gone weird and then you can't go upstairs whoever gets in first especially if the lights are off you might just like fumble onto the bed and touch each other's shoulders because I think that's what adults do they just stroke each other's shoulders and then nine months later a baby's born I look quite I don't know what else happens but it's

nice it's romantic and then suddenly a light comes on and like two people downstairs that you were having lunch with or dinner or whatever walk in and start giggling saying oh look I just saw your shoulder me or whatever it's gotta be very strange especially if you both want the same bed all I'm saying is for 68 million why would you have a double a room of two beds in it that doesn't seem normal doesn't seem normal doesn't seem legal doesn't seem right or moral I've never been so upset it's

amazing well there's another room with a double bed it's weird because this one looks bigger the beds look bigger in this one so that one's and he's got two pillows so it's got be a double bed I think this one maybe it's like a king-size or queen-size bed and it's got a television however why is it only got two pillows are you supposed to sit up with two pillows and watch TV I mean you'd think it have at least nine pillows what just six pillows isn't enough is it nine pillows

is it I mean six minimum minimum minimum I can't believe what I'm seeing sometimes but it's quite nice wonder how quiet those places are the only thing is well being upstairs in the apartment like that it's just not the same is it as being like in the countryside being able to just because I got Vinnie I don't think I'd really be able to have like an apartment like that I mean I suppose maybe I'd like to think that the places were soundproof for that price I don't know oh here comes

the bathrooms on this one 68 million pounds bathrooms and it's got right there is a bath but it's not showing the bath for some reason it's just showing the corner of a bath and I don't know what that is there's a chair there's a chair why would there be a chair in a bathroom I'm not talking about a chair I'm talking about like comfy sit down read a book chair hmm seems a bit strange I suppose it's for someone that lives with someone else that can't stop talking maybe I have

to talk all the time someone like me me or there's a toilet oh there's a toilet but it's one of them toilets that's only just sticking out the wall I like that I do I really do like that I don't think I've ever liked anything as much as this it says it's yeah it just it's like stick it's like a little mouth not mouth but you know it kind of just sticking out ready to you to pull the lead lid up and to do its thing Wow I wonder if it

has a lid do you know the way the one things that have lids that like go down slowly why not have one that has a lid rise a little bit like the do you know them the bins I don't know if they still make them but the bins where you could press on the lever at the bottom and the lid rose up have something like that but more just so it activated the lid to rise I want to say the lid I mean the the top part not necessarily the the

whole thing so you could press it once if you just want the cover to open so you can sit down or you press it again twice if you want everything to raise up so if you need to do a wee wee what if I want to sit down the lid should be down all the time the seat should be down all the time I mean no it shouldn't it's the lid the seat only needs to be down when you're sitting down if you're not sitting down it doesn't need to be

down I can't believe I have to educate people all the time so let's have a look see this is confusing me right there's from the looks of it there's a bath but inside there's something else there and I don't understand what it is and then it's this little sink that's near the floor with a tap why is it so far to the floor is that maybe it's for kids I don't know very strange but this is other thing that just it's got a shower but it's it's a shower but it's

got a thing inside the shower oh wait a minute oh I realize what it is I just realized that's the reflection of the bath okay so there's a shower room with a shower but it doesn't look like a particularly snazzy shower I'd want something pretty phenomenal wouldn't you like a really good really like the best shower ever it's still still quite nice let's have a look what else is there other so this is like the floor plan floorway steps up living room steps up to different places looks like it's another

bedroom there that's strange there's a staircase oh and there's another double bed and another double bedroom to make their mind up when they so why have but these double bedrooms are not big they're both I mean no bigger than this room here those double bedrooms now this flat I live in if I was gonna buy it if I was able to buy it probably cost 140 grand this amount of space in this place would cost about probably five million based on like a one bedroom yeah million like in this area

but Wow it's not like the old council houses though I'm not the council houses but there was council flats in London and all around the country that were big honestly let's have a look if we see inside inside of a council flat 1970s 1970s there's got to be some pictures thanks for the picture okay here we go right allow right Wow I just want to see I don't want to see pictures of the area I just want to see pictures of the flats so I don't think we ever got really

got to go out very often to be fair maybe a little bit I don't know we're okay do you ever look at a picture and think oh okay oh right I'm seeing pictures that have given me the birds are in the attic again I can hear the birdies I want to see our images if I go into images I want to see inside inside because I know that I lived in quite a few different council properties during my lifetime and I lived in Newcastle in well I was pretty much I

think I lived in a council house when I was first born oh so I've lived in like multiple council properties but I lived in a council flat in at least one maybe more in Newcastle then I also lived in a council flats in London for a while Oh look at this I just want to get a layout there must be some photographs of inside these council flats there must be council flats 1970s let's go 1970 oh yeah I think it's like a heck of a lot of searching to find something

like that by the way for those that don't know what council flat is or council house it's basically social housing I think in America would that be called the projects I don't know it is basically social housing for people and they were built in the I think they were built in the 50s 60s 50s and 60s or whatever to basically replace all the damage from the last world war so yeah so there was to give housing and then and a lot of the old houses that were no longer classed as

being like in the 60s that maybe would class is not being really healthy to live in anymore were knocked down and replaced with these high-rise a good example of having a look seeing some of these places is oh what's it called what happened to the likely lads it's a TV show and there's it was in the 70s I think maybe the first show was in the 60s and they brought it back in the 70s and they actually show them going around different places where the houses were being knocked down and

where there was like one pub left and one house left on a whole housing estate and quite a social commentary our North Thai side council I mean that block of flats I lived in might still be there it might not still be there but it might still be there but would I remember after all these years so if I went to Newcastle and I just traveled around the council properties the different council but high-rise flats would I be able to remember which is which because I've got I've got a memory

I've got a bit of a memory but I don't know it's a it's quite a while ago now he's quite a while back yes I can't believe it's raining outside I'm gonna I'm gonna need to take the little one out he's really two days in a row he's barked at 6 6 30 in the morning I don't know why something's happening either in this building or in the garden that's triggering him to bark I'm looking on my camera can't see nothing I'm looking outside can't see nothing my do is dark

outside so I don't know what it is but just the last two days because normally I'll get up he's still in bed I come in here I do I need to do on the internet maybe you know work on something on my podcast my website whatever it is and then I'll have some breakfast watching TV and maybe I'll kind of hmm maybe have a nap or listen to one of my recordings and just chill out for an hour or so and then about 9 o'clock I'll take him out and normally

he's in bed the whole time we go to bed at 10 roughly he'll stay in bed till about 9 all the doors are open the bedroom door the living room door and he's not bothered by anything but not the last two days this is weird I'm not sure what's going on but on that note it is six minutes past five so I'm gonna go give myself some food and then about half an hour or 40 minutes I'll take Vinnie out so thank you for listening remember to be kind to yourself you deserve to be happy lots of love bye bye bye bye speak to you tomorrow
