(Long Voice Only) #1681 Let Me Bore You To Sleep | 14th September 2026 | Jason Newland

Hello and welcome to Let Me Bore You To Sleep. My name is Jason Newland and please only listen when you can safely close your eyes. Today is Monday the 14th of September 2026 and it is exactly 7.30pm in the evening.

I'm still 56 years old. 56! 56! I can't get my head around it. I mean I struggled when I hit 30.

That was like 30. Things changed. I felt I was being viewed differently when I hit 30.

I left London being, I don't like, I had quite a good social life before I left London. I was meeting people and having fun and all that stuff. I moved away at age 31.

Just turned 31 and suddenly I was in this call centre with people, to be fair not that much younger than me, looking at me like I was an old man. I was like when did this happen? Well I know when it happened, it happened then, but it was like so quickly, like instantly went from being seen to being, well it's just seen differently. Now I think back to that time and 30 is not old.

It's young. It's young man. 25 years later.

Blimey. 25 years later. And I think wow.

I mean I've got pictures of me from back then and they just look so different. And at the time I just felt old. And I went through a period, 31, 32, 33, let's have a look at the years.

2002, 2003 and 2004. I had practically no relationships. And 2005, for some reason I got my mojo back.

And 2006 and 2007 and 2008. And then the last 10 years, wow. But even in my early 20s, well I didn't realise at the time, but I was living in East London.

I was living in one of the worst places to meet anybody. Because I didn't go into pubs. And whenever I did go into a pub or nightclub, I'd sometimes meet someone.

Sometimes they'd tell me to go away. And sometimes they didn't see me. But it was only really when I hit 25 that I started to get any kind of female attention.

Yeah, 25. Once I hit 25, I did have a couple of girlfriends during that period. But it was like 1995 was the first year that I did have a girlfriend.

In 94 I had two. 93, didn't have a girlfriend. 92, didn't have a girlfriend.

91, I had a girlfriend. 1990, had a girlfriend. 1989, yeah, I had a couple of girlfriends.

1988, no, I don't think I had a girlfriend. Or 87, or 86. No, 86 I did.

I had a girlfriend in 86. But not in 85. I had a few on-off girlfriends at school, but they weren't really girlfriends, they were just friends that were female that occasionally would kind of be my girlfriend.

You know, I'd ask one of them out and they'd say yes, and then by the end of the day they were going out on my friend. Oh, listen, that was a common thing. Always seemed to happen on a Thursday.

It's weird, isn't it? 16, at 16 I did have a girlfriend. It was one of the girls I worked with in a chip shop. One of her friends came in and she used to wear a hat.

Not relevant really, but I don't know, I just found it quite cute. She used to wear this, I think it was like a flat cap, like Peaky Blinders kind of thing. And I took her out for a meal, took her to an Indian restaurant, and I was just very limited to what we could do.

Financially, she hardly said a word the whole time I was with her, which I don't understand why. Maybe I was talking too much. That is a possibility, it definitely is a possibility, but she just didn't talk.

She could talk, she just didn't much, with me anyway. That shyness didn't seem to end. And then, 16, nothing after her.

I did meet a friend from school, and we kind of got together a couple of times just to hang out and that, but nothing kind of happened. I thought we were kind of moving towards a relationship, but it didn't happen. Yeah, 16 and nothing.

I kind of fell for this girl called Wendy, who worked in the chip shop with me. She had ginger hair, and we just argued the whole time, but I really liked her. I really liked her a lot, possibly kind of thought that I loved her, I don't know.

I'm not sure if I ever loved anyone, but I thought I did, or I wanted to at least, but she wasn't interested in me. And I did have females come into the chip shop who I liked, and that used to be one of the only reasons that I stuck there, or kind of got me through it, because I'd look forward to some of the women that I liked, that I liked talking to, or just fancied, or also some of the men that I used to like chatting to. Yeah, it's really the customers were the best

part of working there.

You get the odd difficult customer, but generally, I think most of the customers are quite good, because intelligent people know to be kind to someone that's preparing your food. I actually explained this to someone who was not from England, and I was on a hypnosis course with them, and I made like a flippant remark about, be careful when you complain about your meals in the restaurants, and she pulled me aside and she said, what do you mean by that? I said, mind your own business, leave me alone, I'm trying to do a wee wee, and

she said, what do you mean? I said, well, it's not about complaining, you can complain about your dinner, if it's too hot, too cold, I don't know, whatever the reason, it's not cooked enough, it's the wrong meal, whatever, but it's the way you do it. If you're snooty, if you're verbally unkind to the waiting person, then, you know, aggressive, or you know, chances are what they will take it back into the kitchen, but what you get back, what they bring back on the plate might not be what you think it is.

And this lady was like, no. Really? I said, yeah. She said, no, but that's, that's, no.

I said, yeah, that's standard practice. Complaints aren't an issue, you know, so if you get, if you send a meal out, and it's not done properly, then you expect it to come back and be done properly. But, if the customer starts screaming and shouting and trying to give it the bigun, and trying to kind of intimidate the staff, they're going to have more in their tummy when they go home than they realize.

It's just the way it is. And this lady said, no, that's ridiculous. What do you think's going to happen? You've got to remember, members of the staff, they're all friends, probably.

You know, the people in the kitchen are going to be friends with the waitresses or waiters. The management, the bar people, they're all going to be friends, probably hang out with each other outside of work. So, if you're horrible to one of them, you've kind of been horrible to all of them.

No. Yeah. So it's not just that, it's like what you might get in your drink as well.

What like, I don't know, a Brussels sprout, maybe. I don't know. Probably nothing bad.

The cook picked the stuff up. Didn't do anything. Just basically just moved it around a little bit on the plate.

Didn't heat anything up, didn't re-cook, didn't do anything. Just left it as it was, exactly as it was, but just moved stuff around a bit. Sent it back and the customer was happy.

Best meal he'd ever had. And what great service as well, because the waiter and the chef were helpful. So that undercooked steak is now correctly cooked, even though it's exactly the same as what it was when it went into the kitchen.

I think that's what you call the power of belief. Did I ever tell you, when I was about 16, my chip shop boss invited me and all my staff basically, around his new house, his new huge massive house, to have a party really. Just like a house welcoming or I don't know, whatever.

But you know, all the staff were there, the full-time, part-time, waitresses. It was nice. I didn't realise I was going to be the butt of a joke though.

And the joke was this, that there was alcohol being served, but my alcohol was alcohol-free lager and I didn't know it. And people were looking at me and laughing all night long. I thought I was doing quite well.

I thought, wow, never been so funny. I've not even said anything and they're laughing. God, I should take up stand-up comedy, just stand on a stage drinking lager.

I'll be a hit. And yeah, it turned out, you know, they were just making fun of me for about three hours and I was getting drunker and drunker. And then they announced it and they basically brought out all these, I think, bottles or cans and put them on a table.

I said, what's that? He said, that's what you've been drinking. And it was completely alcohol-free. It wasn't low alcohol, it was zero alcohol.

And I sobered up pretty quickly. And that was probably, yeah, if someone asked me on one of the Q&A Fridays a while back, what was my most embarrassing moment, that was probably it actually. Especially as a 16-year-old, first year out of school, first year working full-time, living on my own for the first time, trying to impress women for the first time.

Failed to impress women, not for the first time and not for the last time probably either. And it was humiliating. It wasn't just embarrassing, it was humiliating.

And it's weird, I don't think about it very often, but I just have. That must be my frame of mind at the moment. I'm still a little bit annoyed about it, which is weird because it's 40 years ago.

40 years ago. That's crazy, isn't it? Crazy. In that time, I could have had a child, and that child could have had a child, and that child could have had a child.

I could be a great-great-grandfather by now. Sorry Vinnie, I have to move my legs sometimes, my back hurts. If I just sit in one position the whole time, I seize up because I'm an old man.

So yeah, I don't know why that memory came into my brain. I don't know. So what I've been doing mainly today, well actually two things.

Man, I got these letters today, two letters, one envelope, two letters from the council or the housing department or whatever, telling me that I owe £180. £180 because they gave me apparently £150 in 2020 towards council tax or something. This is during the old lockdown time.

And they also gave me, or they discounted it, they didn't give me the money, but they discounted it from the thing. They also gave me £30 in 2023 that I didn't know about as well. So I'm like, okay, I owe £180.

Was not expecting that. Really, really was not expecting that. So I call them up.

Luckily, I didn't have to wait too long to get through. About 10 minutes and it was an error. They sent it to me, the computer sent it to me because they were doing a calculation of the payments I've made and all that stuff and they sent it to me incorrectly.

And I said to the person on the phone, and I did make it clear that I wasn't being rude and I wasn't sort of blaming her. I know that she didn't send it personally. But it might be worth considering or passing on to the management that receiving letters like that to someone that's in a fragile or kind of low, low state could be the catalyst to, I don't know, just, I don't think it's necessarily useful.

Especially if it's not true, especially if it's not a real thing. I suppose it's just maybe I'm a little bit too sensitive and I'm thinking about other people as well. Like, for example, the council, if they can't get hold of you, let's say they knock randomly sometimes to check the boiler.

It's like, no, you make appointments to check the boiler. You just don't knock on my door. If I don't know who you are, I'm not going to answer the door.

I got a letter through. This is a few years back, actually. And they said, we'll try to contact you.

We knocked on your door. You weren't there. And we'll be coming along.

And the next time we come, we're going to bring a locksmith and we're going to break in if you don't answer the door. We're going to break in the front door because we have to check the boiler. And, you know, so like, OK, I realize you have to check the boiler.

It's in my benefit to have that checked every year. And it's a legal thing. Don't be threatening to break in my door.

That's like, no, that's not, not on, not on at all. And I called them up. I screamed on the phone.

This is not how I normally react to stuff. And I said, I'm not happy with that letter I got. So there.

And I thought I'll show them. And they turned up and I actually called them up and said, no, they did turn up and it was fine. But what they do, they don't bring the locksmith with them.

They call a locksmith if they can't get in. So they made an appointment. Then they do it from there.

And I spoke to a locksmith and he said, yeah, we often break in to people's house. It's not breaking in. If a locksmith does it.

But it is still breaking in. See, it's like, why can't it be breaking in? It's a locksmith. Well, probably millions of people around the world know how to do locksmithing.

If that's such a word. And if I go to someone's door and I take the lock off from the outside. Just because I'm taking a lock off and using tools.

I'm still breaking in. I'm still committing a crime. You know, I mean, it's like.

Apparently, it's a weird thing. If a window is open. And you go into someone's window, then you're not.

You're not breaking in. Well, what is it then? So if someone leaves a door open, unlocked. We can just go into each other's houses and it's not against the law.

Is that the rule? Because that makes no sense to me. I think on this case, America's got it right. If someone's on your property.

If someone goes into your house that's not invited. And you ask them to leave and they don't leave. What happens next? It seems like the correct thing.

It's like if they won't leave. You leave them. You make them leave, innit? I tell you it's weird.

In this country, right. We can't protect ourselves in this country. We're not allowed to.

Unless you're in the forces or you're a policeman, woman. You can protect yourself when you're working. And you can also, even when you're off duty.

They feel like they're always on duty, don't they? But the average human walking around the street, they cannot protect themselves. Not allowed to use anything. It's like, are you allowed to use minimal effort? Which is just absurd.

You're not allowed to carry anything around to protect yourself. So a brolly, you can carry. A heavy torch, you have to kind of manoeuvre around it.

Gloves with pads in the knuckles, things like that. Like motorbike gloves actually. I've got a pair of those.

Good for me because if I fall over, I can land on my knuckles. And I don't end up breaking anything. Mind you, the force from my body on the ground, I might break my wrist, but hopefully not.

Ideally, if you fall over, you spread your body out. And you hit the ground, literally with your hands. You hit the ground and that takes the shock from when you fall.

Which was much easier when I was younger. Especially when I weighed practically nothing. If I fell over, I'd just kind of float down like a feather.

Like from side to side. And just land very gently. The good old days.

Can you imagine that though? Giving someone non-alcoholic lager. Pretending it's alcohol in front of every single member of staff. I don't know, I just found it... I still find it a little bit... You know? A little bit... A little bit... I don't know if I could do that to someone.

I don't know. Maybe I deserved it because from my memory, I was not probably the easiest 16 year old to be around. And perhaps there isn't many easy 16 year olds to be around anyway.

It's a difficult age group, isn't it? It was for me. When I was 16, 15, 16, the people I cared most about, I despised some of them. Didn't like them.

At all. The only person I was still close to was my Nan. My real Nan.

I never kind of... I don't know, perhaps just... There was something there that I didn't... That adolescence, that energy, that negativity, whatever, it kind of left at the front door. And I think having my Grandad there probably helped. Because he wouldn't have put up with it.

So I knew I had to behave. But then I always did behave with my Nan. Even all the way through, up to the age of 44.

You know, she was... She was my Nan. I mean, you're not going to misbehave, are you? She'd laugh. I'd say rude stuff and she'd laugh at the stuff I said.

Stuff that I wouldn't be able to say in front of my Dad. Stuff that my Dad would tell me off for saying in front of him. If he'd have known that I said stuff like that to my Nan.

He'd get really angry. But she loved it. We had a good old laugh.

I mean, my Grandad's sister, who she was best friends with. She used to swear like a... Like the old saying, swear like a trooper. Always swearing.

Did anyone tell her not to swear? No. Yeah, I get told not allowed to say naughty words. I know it's hard to believe that I would ever say a naughty word.

Because I just come across as so pure and innocent. And to be honest, I am. I am very pure.

I used to be innocent. I kind of wish I was. A little bit.

Do I ever tell you that when I worked in a co-op. Right. There was this girl.

She was older than me. Probably quite a few years older than me actually. But still young.

I was 17. She was probably, I'd say 22. And I fancied her.

I liked older women back then. And... She was a regular customer. You get to know people.

People come into the... It was a co-op. It's like a... If you don't know what it is, it's... It's kind of like just a little grocery store. But a bit bigger than your average corner shop.

But it was a small one. It wasn't like a big co-op. But... It had everything you'd need.

Pretty much. And... So I worked there for, I don't know, a few months anyway. So I got to know people.

Same people coming every day. Every couple of days. So I'm walking... Down this road which is basically just... At the end of the road where I lived.

Wait a minute. No. If I go down that road... Yeah, this was at... Blimey.

I'm trying to... I'm trying to... That's weird. I'm just trying to figure out how the layout was. Such a long time since I've been there.

Okay, yeah. So... Turn left. So it's on the road where the shop was.

I was just walking down there. I don't know where I was going. Possibly back to... I don't know.

Maybe to town or something. And... This particular female that I'd spoken to... I ceased to see her very often. She just... I mean, she didn't jump out of the door.

But she sort of opened the door and suddenly she was just there. And she said, hello. I said, yeah, hi.

And... I didn't know what to say to her. I just... I've always been a little bit shy. Or just... If I like someone... I don't necessarily... Know what to say.

If I don't know them very well. If I don't... I get much better on... Much better on? I get much better with... Women that I'm not interested in. Not romantically.

I can be best friends with women. I prefer women over men to talk to. And to hang out with and everything.

It's more fun, I find. Just my own personal... Experience. So far in my life.

But I've had male friends as well. I still have. But... So this lady, she jumped out of the door.

And he kind of appeared. It's like a magic act. I looked around for Paul Daniels.

Which won't mean a lot to... Probably a lot of people listening, but... He was a very famous magician in the UK. I liked him. Not a lot, but I liked him.

See, that was a little witty joke there. And... I don't really know what she wanted. But somehow... She broached the subject.

And I'm talking pretty quickly. Within the conversation. She broached the subject of... Well, she asked me the question.

Would I give her a baby? So I'm 17. I'm a virgin. And pure.

Of course. In fact, if I'm honest, I was scared. Scared, scared, scared of... Any of that kind of stuff.

I liked certain... You know, certain things I liked. But never... I've never strayed... Below the belly button. Just without going into good detail.

I just... I was a bit scared of that area. Not that it's a... Not that it's a scary area. But I just... I had no knowledge.

Of what I was dealing with. I didn't know if I needed a hard hat. You know, a torch.

I didn't know what to do. So I just kind of... I didn't... I think that's part of the reason why I wanted to... Get with an older lady. Because then... Perhaps she could show me the way.

You know? If you're going to go hiking in the hills. You need someone that's already been there, isn't it? That knows the hills very well. That knows the map.

Rather than someone that's looking at the map for the first time. Like me. And... I just... She just said out of the blue... Will you... Will you give me a baby? And my first instinct, like... Being pedantic as I was.

Well, where do you expect me to get a baby from? I don't have a baby. If I did have a baby. If it was my baby, I probably wouldn't want to give it away, would I? Unless I didn't like it.

Because, you know, just because you have a baby doesn't mean you're going to like it, does it? I mean, we don't all get on, do we? So... And she said, oh, no. Will you make me pregnant? And... I started shaking with fear. Because that was a lot to try and take in.

That's a lot, isn't it? First of all... You want me to change my entire life. And... To bring up this kid. Or... I'm going to have to move to a different part of the country.

To get away from you. So, you know, either way, it's going to be an upheaval. An uphill drive.

And... I'm going to have to leave the country now. And I didn't know her. I don't even know if I knew her name.

I did stay friends with her for quite a few years after that, actually. But... She's like, well... I'm quite... I just always thought that maybe before having a baby, I would get to hold the lady's hand first. Maybe go to the cinema, you know? As it is, I said to her, we've not even had our first argument.

Why... I never kissed her. I didn't kiss her. I never kissed her.

In fact, never happened. Now, if I'd have just been a normal... Person... I perhaps would at least have offered a practice run. And it might have just been her way of like... She might have liked me.

I don't know, but she might have liked me. But I said, no thanks. And I ran.

And it was weird, because I was split. Not literally, but I was like... One leg was running away, and the other leg was trying to pull me back. But she's got big... It was like, just no.

No, I've got to get away from her. And I fancied her. I liked her.

And I liked her as a person. She's got a nice voice, and... Yeah, but... But she found someone to have a baby with. She had a baby in the end.

Probably... Yeah, within about a year or so... Of that situation. So, maybe just... That the next person walking behind me... Ended up being the father. Don't quite know what she was... What her intention was, but... I did like her.

I just didn't... It just wasn't on my timetable of things to do. You know, it wasn't on the list. Yeah, I used to find stuff like that a little bit scary.

If a woman liked me... I'd be like, that confused me. It was like someone trying to give me a... A book... Written in French, and expecting me to... Read it out, like... Well, read it out, but you're not going to enjoy it. Bonjour, je m'appelle... Petite Penny... Or whatever, I don't know.

I don't speak French. You know, there's this... Sometimes there's this argument that goes on, saying... We say, I don't speak Mexican. No, Mexicans speak Spanish.

They don't. Not the same as Spanish. It's a different type of Spanish.

They have different words for different things. In fact, if you go over... A Spanish person talking to someone from Mexico... Aren't necessarily going to be able to communicate. Different speed, and they have different words.

Not all different words. It's not the same. That's another thing, right... I did wonder, you know all these... People celebrate their independence.

We got our independence! It's Independence Day! And all over the world, you've got people with independence. I think half the world, their independence is from us. From this country.

But there's other ones. Independence from Spain. You know, as in Mexico.

And... You'd think, wouldn't you? That one of the first things... That a country would do... After independence... Is stop speaking the language... Of... Their slavers. You would, wouldn't you? You'd feel like, well... We're not Spanish anymore. We're not going to speak Spanish.

So, can we speak Mexican from now on? Where's that book of Mexican? I don't know. He had it last. Are you telling me we've lost the book of our own language? Yeah, I think so.

What are we going to do? We're going to have to speak Spanish. But we're not Spanish anymore. We're Mexicans, aren't we? Well... We could change some of the words.

And maybe speak a little bit different. Pronounce some of the words differently. And speak quicker.

But they speak really quickly in Spain. Yeah, but we speak even quicker than them. Like it's a contest to see how many words you can get out in one breath.

That's a good idea. I actually see that. I see two boxes.

Both speak in Spanish. Both living in Spanish speaking countries. Could not understand a single word each other was saying.

Seriously. That's what makes me laugh. No, they're not... It's Spanish.

No. It's a hybrid of Spanish. That countries have changed over... Decades or even millennium.

What was this? Was it 300 years of Spain? Did you know that the Spanish... The Mexican independence... They celebrate it on the day that they... Start to think about it. They don't celebrate it on the day that they actually got independence. Isn't that weird? You'd think independence would be celebrated on the actual day... The independence was achieved.

But no. You're lying. Check it out.

I do my research, baby. It's completely pointless research. Useless information.

And hopefully that will now leave my memory. Because I don't need it nor want it there. It's pointless.

But it's important to them. It's important to them, not to me. I'm not that interested in the history of this country.

Especially Hadrian. Hadrian's Wall. Wires me up, that does.

I've had enough of walls. The only walls I like is Wall's Ice Cream. I like that joke.

I don't care what anyone thinks. Makes me happy. Makes me happy.

So basically. Just talking a bunch of nonsense tonight. I'm going to have an early night.

Oh. The most important thing that's pretty much happened all year. I forgot to mention it.

Big Brother's back. Big Brother. And it was on last night at 9 to 10.30. It's on again at 9 tonight.

But. Very tired. Very, very tired.

I think I'm going to go to bed. Very soon. Probably once I've done this.

It's not been the best day. So I'm going to finish this. And then head to bed.

Head to bed. What I have been doing today though is going through my recordings and organising them. So I've been working on the Let Me Bore Your Pain Away.

Playlists. You know the. Six different versions.

One to fifty. And it's taken me hours to get them all together. Honestly I can't believe how much work has gone into this.

Tomorrow I'll try and do the other. Because I've done one playlist that's pretty much complete now. And I'll try and do all the others.

So I didn't expect to pay. This much attention or spend this much time. Just on the Let Me Bore Your Pain Away.

Which has got 44 recordings I think. I mean blimey. Yeah six versions of those 44 recordings but still only 44 recordings.

Was it really worth a whole day? So. Once that's done. I'll do another one then I'll do another one and then.

I need to start working on fine tuning the website. It's pretty much ready. To be.

It is published already but. It's pretty much ready to be. Connected to my.

jasonnewland.com domain name. When that's done. It should.

Hopefully people that go on there will find it useful. There's still a lot. I mean I could probably do another month or two to get the website ready.

But on the 18th of. September. My other website expires.

So I'm going to have to connect. The new website to my domain name. Otherwise when you put in jasonnewland.com nothing will come up.

Just be a blank page a blank. Not known at this address. We don't know who you're looking for.

I don't know what that accent was. Russian Russian possibly. I'm from Russia.

How are you doing? German I've never dated a Russian lady. Date a German lady. Date a Romanian lady.

In fact I've kissed two German ladies. Date a Romanian lady. No one from France.

I remember when I was in Paris. In 1989. I was in I don't know like it's like a big square.

Like a big that was on some steps is a little bit like Trafalgar Square kind of in London but really big area. I don't know what it was. I think he's looking for some food to eat.

I love the fact that he just keeps going up to the bowl and looking at it like. There's no food there. Passive aggressive.

That's what he is. It's like oh there's no food in there. And then like 10 minutes later get up and look over.

He knows I have not got up. He knows that I've not got any food. He knows that nothing's happened.

People still get up and look at the bowl. Like just almost sending vibes to me. Oh dear.

He's having his nails done in a few days. He got no idea what's coming. I hope you'll be OK.

I really do. I just I mean he will he will be OK. I mean they do this for a living.

They trim dogs nails. It's not. It's not like a big deal but he just.

He's so aggressive. I wonder whether I should take. His muzzle with me but.

They'll have muzzles won't they. Because he will bite. There's no way in the world he will bite.

He bites me if I try and cut his nails. But I found out. I didn't realize.

The other day when he caught his nail in the sofa. And he was absolutely going crazy because he couldn't get it out and he was it was horrible actually but. And I was holding his paw trying to get it out and he was biting me.

But he wasn't really biting me. It was kind of just like. It's weird like a nibble.

Uncomfortable not bitey. It's like he didn't want to hurt me. And I didn't realize that before because when he does it he screams he's so aggressive which sounds aggressive.

But actually. I don't think he's actually going to say that I mean I don't I don't really want to put my fingers near his mouth in those situations but. My hand literally was stationary trying to get his his nail out from the cotton thread or whatever was stuck in and.

My hand was literally inches away from his mouth and he was kind of attacking my hand a bit. Yet he didn't really do anything. Maybe on some level he knew I was trying to help him.

I don't know. I used to have the same thing with Andre. He used to get his nails caught sometimes.

And in those situations I would. So I just get a pair of scissors. And cut the thread.

And he'd scream as well it was very similar in ways him and Andre. Maybe it's the vibe of the flat I don't know. But.

Yeah. I don't know. So yeah I'm going to go to bed and tomorrow I'll upload this tomorrow morning I'll edit it upload it.

And then I'll get working on the other stuff. The other recordings. And then what day is it today 14th Monday Tuesday 15th Wednesday 16th Thursday 17th Friday the 18th.

So Friday the 18th will be. When I change the website. So you'll be able to see all of what I've done.

In real time. And I need to get as much done as possible. Before that date.

I really do. And I'm gonna I'm gonna gonna gonna gonna gonna gonna get it done. I can make a few little changes you know once it's done and add stuff but I need to get the majority of everything done.

Otherwise it would just be. It could mess up the Google and stuff. Because if you make thousands of changes on a website.

Google sometimes thinks it's kind of. Something going on you know it's like it's not kosher. It's a dodgy going on which it's not.

You know I'm not not building a website to try and. With loads of pages just specifically to try and catch traffic. The reason I've got.

I don't know how many pages. 10,000 pages or whatever 6 to 10,000 pages. It's just because of how many recordings I've got that's all.

In fact. Let me ask how many individual pages there are. On my website.

I'm just going to type it in. OK it's not coming up very quickly. The Internet is very slow at the moment.

How many. Many. In die feed.

Jewel. Pages. Does.

My website. My pages has a does my website. The good thing with chat GPT is you don't have to complete the words.

Some tools are temporarily unavailable. Man. I'll check the live website and sitemap so I can count the individual pages.

Accurately. It should be. Fairly simple because it's on here.

Listing available sites what. That's weird. It's like it's searching the Internet I know it's not the place to search.

Search. Internally. Mind you maybe that's not available.

Maybe I should have gone into sites and done it there. Am I being quicker I don't know. I do.

I don't know why. You know singing hallelujah in the park. It dawned on me.

That no word. Should ever have that many L's in it. I mean was it H a how many words how many L's has got in it.

There. Yeah. Only three.

Why since when did Hallelujah have a J a H at the end of it. I'm sure. I'm just things are just changed.

No never had a J a H did it. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

It's Hallelujah. With an L. Hallelujah. Okay.

So who else sang it we got other what's her name I'm sure her one didn't have it. What's her name did it England. Cover versions.

2009. Jeff Buckley. There's a very very.

Okay. And. Okay.

So see the website currently has one thousand six hundred thirty nine individual recordings transcript pages. Sixty three playlist pages. Several main pages such as home latest playlist channel.

So the website contains approximately one thousand seven hundred and ten pages altogether. So it's version number ninety six. So I've done ninety six versions so far of the website.

What about. Each recording. I always okay.

We've done that isn't it. Each recording. Yeah.

Okay fair enough. So it's less than I thought. So.

I don't know what else I need to do. A few little bits. Few little bits of tidying up.

Before it's launched. And. As the technology becomes better.

I can then add more. To the website. More things that might be useful.

But I look into that as we go along. And on that note. On that cutie little note of mine.

I'm going to say. To Rafa now. Our big brother.

I'll talk about that tomorrow. It's. I'll have more to say because it's basically last night was just the.

The launch night where the people. Arrived. A lot of judgment.

It's really like well done if I like then. Don't know you know it's a lot a lot of judgment it's not really fair but it's just human isn't it. So be interesting to see.

How their. How it's been for the first day so what I'll do is I'll watch tonight's episode tomorrow morning while I'm eating my breakfast. On playback.

Catch up telly. I'm tired. So thank you for listening remember.

To be kind to yourself because you do deserve to be happy. Be gentle with yourself. You deserve to feel safe.

Lots of love. Bye.
