00:04:13.719 up who it is, but you'll know who you are 78 00:04:13.759 --> 00:04:17.279 if you're listening. And as a result, I went to 79 00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:23.519 look it up and and apparently Eleanor Roosevelt used this expression, 80 00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:29.199 but it actually dates back quite a long way to 81 00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:36.600 a Greek philosopher called okay, big tits. 82 00:04:37.920 --> 00:04:45.639 Titus, don't go into any of your watch your ramons and. 83 00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:51.839 Release what wick release you said.

If you don't like us, 95 00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:41.319 then okay, do you like us? Fantastic, you know, and 96 00:05:41.439 --> 00:05:46.279 so we're going to adopt a big tituous who shall 97 00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:50.160 from now on be known as big edge up. So 98 00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:52.759 neither of us. Well, I did lasted for about five 99 00:05:52.800 --> 00:05:56.279 minutes at school, but you didn't do Latin. Okay, we 100 00:05:56.319 --> 00:06:00.160 will be laugh'd be great. It was definitely didn't your 101 00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:02.399 ancient Greek? Did you? Did you not? 102 00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:05.000 At high school they did not offer ancient Greek, did 103 00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:09.639 they not. It was not an option. No, no, not 104 00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:12.439 in the curriculum met my yes, not so good school. 105 00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:15.720 It was ancient Greek. Nothing, I'm going to be late 106 00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:17.120 from white ancient Greek class. 107 00:06:18.519 --> 00:06:21.560 Bother oh bother. So yeah, so I thought that was 108 00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:25.120 really I thought it was really interesting. And I've also 109 00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:32.000 decided that any I don't really like the name trolls. 110 00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:35.120 I will say that I find it sort of unfair 111 00:06:35.160 --> 00:06:38.199 on Scandinavians, like the. 112 00:06:38.199 --> 00:06:40.040 Trolls, you know, the trolls with like the bright pink hair. 113 00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:43.279 Yeah oh yeah, yeah, yeah yeah did you I

had 114 00:06:43.319 --> 00:06:45.879 a few of them people you spoke in their cars? 115 00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:46.959 Yeah they did. Yeah. 116 00:06:48.519 --> 00:06:49.480 And then it was sort of like the heir, it 117 00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:53.959 would be good straight back, And yeah, they were a 118 00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:57.639 bit scary. I've never really understood that. Why would you 119 00:06:57.680 --> 00:06:58.759 put a trolling in Carlin that? 120 00:06:59.439 --> 00:06:59.800 Why not? 121 00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:04.959 As non answer? Is it? So? I No, I don't. 122 00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:07.519 I think you know, I think controls belong to the 123 00:07:07.560 --> 00:07:14.079 Scandinavians sort of what would you call it, storytelling tradition, storytelling. 124 00:07:14.120 --> 00:07:16.360 That's a good one, yes, story And so I think 125 00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:20.360 it's unfortunately miss you so, but I feel that the 126 00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:23.839 correct description of these people because we should not be 127 00:07:23.920 --> 00:07:26.360 giving a weights to their opinions, should we not?

So we had about a hundred 167 00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:20.879 people turn up and they walked down the sort of 168 00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:23.759 like the grassy Avenue, towards the chateau and then out 169 00:09:23.759 --> 00:09:26.200 through the main gates, and when they got to the 170 00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:28.559 front of the shadow, they were met by the local 171 00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:32.600 group playing the hunting horns. And it was really really nice. 172 00:09:32.639 --> 00:09:34.279 It was such a nice day, and we had a 173 00:09:34.279 --> 00:09:37.679 lovely evening and it was beefoure weather and everybody was 174 00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:40.159 happy and smiley and it was just it went really 175 00:09:40.200 --> 00:09:41.399 really well, which is. 176 00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:47.120 Just quickly is called the so and you did. 177 00:09:47.200 --> 00:09:50.240 You had an excellent attempt at playing the horn as well. 178 00:09:51.200 --> 00:09:52.720 Well, if you haven't seen the video, you need to 179 00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:54.320 see the video. I'm going I'm not going to do 180 00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:55.960 a spoiler because it really is. 181 00:09:56.200 --> 00:09:57.679 I can go and get it now if you want to. 182 00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:00.559 I don't think it was fair and I shouldn't do 183 00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:02.399 that on the podcast. If somebody's got headphones on their 184 00:10:02.440 --> 00:10:05.759 lifting because they didn't start with a whole one, well 185 00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:07.039 define them. 186 00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:09.200 Oh well you went here of singing because I can't 187 00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:11.559 play the things. So anyway, what are you here? Is 188 00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:16.720 me desperately blowing and through this thing. That's the impression. 189 00:10:18.519 --> 00:10:21.159 So we had that lovely, lovely day. We'll talk more 190 00:10:21.159 --> 00:10:24.159 about in a bit. But

then on Sunday morning, I 191 00:10:24.200 --> 00:10:27.240 popped out. Just go to supermarket. Just to no, not supermarket, 192 00:10:27.320 --> 00:10:29.679 vegetable shop, super parks and not open on a Sunday. 193 00:10:29.960 --> 00:10:34.159 Don't be silly. And I got what I've told you this. 194 00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:35.399 But I got to the end of the road and 195 00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:37.399 there was a little barricade across the end of our road, 196 00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:39.559 and I just assumed that that was left over from 197 00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:42.279 the walk the night before. I just assume they hadn't 198 00:10:42.279 --> 00:10:43.960 been around to pick up their stuff yet, because they hadn't. 199 00:10:45.240 --> 00:10:47.559 But I squeezed past the barrier and started driving down 200 00:10:47.559 --> 00:10:49.080 the road. And bear in mind, this road is our 201 00:10:49.120 --> 00:10:51.759 only access to here. There's no other way in or out. 202 00:10:51.960 --> 00:10:54.440 That's it. And so I started going down the road 203 00:10:54.559 --> 00:10:57.600 towards the village and there were quite a few cyclists 204 00:10:57.639 --> 00:11:00.200 around in the LCRA, but we do normally see quite 205 00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:01.879 a lot of cyclists on a Sunday morning, and it 206 00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:03.279 was nice. I just so funest. 207 00:11:03.399 --> 00:11:07.559 I do like their like they are all doing the 208 00:11:07.639 --> 00:11:10.279 daw the frask all the time at. 209 00:11:10.120 --> 00:11:13.919 All times, and they are in competitive mode. And then yeah, 210 00:11:13.960 --> 00:11:16.240 I got to the turning to go into the village 211 00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:19.480 and there was some barricades and some very angry frenchmen 212 00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:22.679 shouting at me a lot, and telling me I was 213 00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:24.240 in the wrong place and what we were doing there, 214 00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:27.120 and I had to get out. So I started trying 215 00:11:27.120 --> 00:11:29.720 to talk to the main chap and he was just 216 00:11:29.720 --> 00:11:31.559 shouting at me in French, and I was trying to 217 00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:35.559 shout he actually, it's actually shouting at me. So I 218 00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:38.279 was trying to like stand my ground and explain, no, 219 00:11:38.519 --> 00:11:40.960 I live in the chateau. I've just come out. You've 220 00:11:40.960 --> 00:11:43.039 closed the road. I didn't know that the road was closed. 221 00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:45.200 I just want to go to the shop, you know. 222 00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:49.360 Don't shelter at me. And then he just this was 223 00:11:49.399 --> 00:11:51.320 all in French. Then he just like stormed off in 224 00:11:51.320 --> 00:11:53.559 a half going, oh, she's English. I can't understand her, 225 00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:56.919 and just like huffed off, even though I thought I 226 00:11:56.960 --> 00:11:59.600 was doing quite a good job

of explaining myself in 227 00:12:00.200 --> 00:12:02.399 free in French. Yes, thank you very much. And then 228 00:12:02.440 --> 00:12:06.080 somebody else came over who spoke English, and then he 229 00:12:06.120 --> 00:12:08.360 was quite angry with me, and then another guy. 230 00:12:08.360 --> 00:12:11.440 When't you say angry? What do you mean angry? 231 00:12:11.679 --> 00:12:16.399 Like proper shouting like like, well, okay, so i'm you, 232 00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:18.480 but I can't shout. I can't shout and I can't 233 00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:19.879 then put the words for because it was all in 234 00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:22.159 but no, but the tone, right, so I'm you in 235 00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:25.200 the car, Yeah, no, the tone was really angry, really 236 00:12:25.279 --> 00:12:27.559 really angry. Yeah, really really aggressive. 237 00:12:27.639 --> 00:12:28.879 What are you doing here? 238 00:12:29.120 --> 00:12:33.440 This is your lord aloud here like that, yeah, right 239 00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:35.440 in my face through the car window. 240 00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:38.159 Really really on a Sunday. 241 00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:39.679 On a Sunday morning. And then so yeah, so the 242 00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:41.759 other guy came over. He spoke English and again did 243 00:12:41.799 --> 00:12:43.440 the whole you can't be here. I was like, well, 244 00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:45.120 I know, but you've closed my road. How else am 245 00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:48.600 I supposed to leave my house? So all of that, 246 00:12:48.679 --> 00:12:50.320 And then then some of the ours came over on 247 00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:52.320 the modorbike and said I had to follow him out 248 00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:56.360 and I'm going to have to drive very fast. Ridiculous. 249 00:12:56.799 --> 00:12:59.320 So we drove out, you know, not very fast at all. 250 00:12:59.759 --> 00:13:01.519 And then and he just escorted me to a bit 251 00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:03.720 where I could golf down a side road. So I 252 00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:05.320 went to the shop and I came back. I came 253 00:13:05.360 --> 00:13:07.159 back the other way the other end of the road, 254 00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:10.200 which is still the only access, and had to basically 255 00:13:10.240 --> 00:13:13.200 beg in French to be allowed through. And this was 256 00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:16.960 nine thirty in the morning, and they were saying, oh, 257 00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:18.200 it's in the road. It's going to be placed till 258 00:13:18.200 --> 00:13:21.200 two and you won't be allowed through. But how can 259 00:13:21.240 --> 00:13:23.840 you close the road that's the only access to my 260 00:13:23.919 --> 00:13:27.360 house with no warning. You must have had this race 261 00:13:27.879 --> 00:13:30.080 booked for weeks. How can we not know that the 262 00:13:30.159 --> 00:13:30.960 road will be closed? 263 00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:36.360 It's mad ye, and I mean it's extraordinary really. Apparently 264 00:13:36.360 --> 00:13:38.200 in order to be able to do things slightly, is 265 00:13:38.320 --> 00:13:43.039 they get authorization from the municipality. 266 00:13:43.440 --> 00:13:45.360 Yeah, he said it was like a municipal closing. 267 00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:50.320 But so ordinarily you would think that if they were 268 00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:52.799 going to close and this is you know, this is 269 00:13:52.840 --> 00:13:55.600 not like a little back road. This is the main 270 00:13:55.759 --> 00:14:01.080 road that many houses along it would have received a 271 00:14:01.159 --> 00:14:08.120 letter or an email, or signs would have been put up. Nothing. 272 00:14:08.360 --> 00:14:10.200 I think it's part of the thing that we've been 273 00:14:10.240 --> 00:14:13.200 told before is that actually a lot of people don't 274 00:14:13.240 --> 00:14:16.240 know the chateaus here because we're at the end of 275 00:14:16.240 --> 00:14:19.120 a long side road. I think people just unaware that 276 00:14:19.159 --> 00:14:21.279 anybody lives down here. 277 00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:26.440 Just like I know. Just yes, But if you're closing 278 00:14:26.440 --> 00:14:27.720 a road, you look at the map and you see 279 00:14:27.879 --> 00:14:30.279 their houses either side, and you tell them that you're 280 00:14:30.279 --> 00:14:32.080 going to close the road from this time at this time, 281 00:14:32.879 --> 00:14:37.559 you know, and you are very very you know, at 282 00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:41.440 least you tell them about it. But you would think 283 00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:44.320 that if it was a sort of a municipal decision, 284 00:14:45.480 --> 00:14:48.799 that it would be published online somewhere. 285 00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:51.120 You would have thought so. So there's just part of 286 00:14:51.159 --> 00:14:55.159 the fun of French life is the unexpected road closures. 287 00:14:55.600 --> 00:14:57.879 But I feel like they should give me my French 288 00:14:57.919 --> 00:15:00.000 language certificate now and just give it to me because 289 00:15:00.039 --> 00:15:01.039 I've managed an argument. 290 00:15:03.039 --> 00:15:07.919 I think. So when you go for your for your test, yeah, no, 291 00:15:08.000 --> 00:15:10.399 you've got your two nights. You've got to You've got 292 00:15:10.440 --> 00:15:11.120 to scream at me. 293 00:15:11.399 --> 00:15:14.039 They go, no, no, we witnessed you having an argument 294 00:15:14.080 --> 00:15:15.639 in French. You don't need to sit the test here. 295 00:15:15.720 --> 00:15:17.600 Did you record it on video? You should have recorded 296 00:15:17.720 --> 00:15:18.200 on the video. 297 00:15:18.360 --> 00:15:18.879 Should have done? 298 00:15:18.919 --> 00:15:21.840 Should have done? Would have been great or a missed opportunities. 299 00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:22.360 I did. 300 00:15:22.519 --> 00:15:24.600 Actually, on the way back, I had my phone out 301 00:15:24.600 --> 00:15:26.799 ready to film just in case it went

bad again, 302 00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:28.360 because I was like, right, I'm going to film this 303 00:15:28.480 --> 00:15:30.320 because I want proof of this. 304 00:15:30.440 --> 00:15:31.600 Only we have a YouTube channel. 305 00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:34.360 You have to record everything, you know, I mean, I 306 00:15:34.399 --> 00:15:36.480 was ready to record and over the first time. You 307 00:15:36.480 --> 00:15:40.279 should have no, wait, wait, wait, stop shouting just a minute. 308 00:15:40.799 --> 00:15:44.919 Okay, from the beginning, I'll did reverse of this, and 309 00:15:44.960 --> 00:15:47.639 I come to I think that probably would have calmed 310 00:15:47.679 --> 00:15:48.080 them down. 311 00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:50.879 That would have really really worried them. Have thought it's 312 00:15:50.919 --> 00:15:55.080 going on? Was this you know, this new fane called technology. 313 00:15:55.080 --> 00:15:56.960 You're pointing at me? Why are you? What do you 314 00:15:57.120 --> 00:15:58.840 phone doing? 315 00:16:01.159 --> 00:16:01.240 So? 316 00:16:01.440 --> 00:16:06.000 Yeah, so Paul Claire came back and she was quite flustered. 317 00:16:06.799 --> 00:16:09.360 Flustered, I was very proud of myself. Didn't burst into tears. 318 00:16:09.519 --> 00:16:12.840 Well that's very very good, indeed. Yeah, absolutely, But. 319 00:16:12.799 --> 00:16:16.440 The event itself on the Saturday evening was really nice, 320 00:16:16.600 --> 00:16:18.840 and it was so nice to sort of like welcome 321 00:16:18.879 --> 00:16:21.679 people in, so the first thing we've done. I mean, 322 00:16:21.720 --> 00:16:23.919 you were here for the marathon last summer. 323 00:16:25.399 --> 00:16:29.320 But Charlie are absolutely lovely, you know. But I just 324 00:16:29.399 --> 00:16:34.799 like to say, now, those three chaps right, unless they 325 00:16:34.799 --> 00:16:40.440 can sort out their manners, not welcome. I have to 326 00:16:40.519 --> 00:16:44.480 learn tests. Yeah, please, thank you very much. 327 00:16:44.960 --> 00:16:47.120 But it made us think by having that event, it's 328 00:16:47.120 --> 00:16:49.759 made us think about having other events here. 329 00:16:50.559 --> 00:16:52.879 Well, we've been talking a lot over the years that 330 00:16:52.919 --> 00:16:55.480 we've been here. We've talked a lot about this, and 331 00:16:56.720 --> 00:17:01.039 there is a jazz festival near us in a big 332 00:17:01.120 --> 00:17:03.960 I suppose it's a city, isn't it in Your And 333 00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:10.599 they have a jazz weekend and we went to one 334 00:17:10.640 --> 00:17:14.119 of them and it had basically one of our favorite artists, 335 00:17:14.599 --> 00:17:18.519 the American singer Gregory Porter, that we both think is UPLA. 336 00:17:19.079 --> 00:17:20.680 Seen him live a few times in London. 337 00:17:20.799 --> 00:17:25.480 Yeah I met him, Yeah yeah, in the Pizza Express 338 00:17:25.559 --> 00:17:28.400 in Soho when he was still not very well known. 339 00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:31.880 And we did to see Gregory bort A live at 340 00:17:32.000 --> 00:17:35.799 Ner and we were literally sort of like two meters 341 00:17:35.799 --> 00:17:39.240 away from him, the most extraordinary live event, and walked 342 00:17:39.240 --> 00:17:41.079 out of that and it was and it was really 343 00:17:41.119 --> 00:17:43.799 small and probably you know, only about two thousand people 344 00:17:43.839 --> 00:17:49.200 in there yea. And came back and thought, oh, yeah, 345 00:17:49.440 --> 00:17:50.519 we could do that here. 346 00:17:50.440 --> 00:17:52.559 Because it's just it's health in the park in Your 347 00:17:52.839 --> 00:17:55.680 It's not a particularly big space. It wasn't a big 348 00:17:55.920 --> 00:17:58.200 They have a couple of stages which I don't think 349 00:17:58.240 --> 00:17:59.680 would have room for that, but only have room for 350 00:17:59.720 --> 00:18:05.440 one to But yeah, but it's put us. It's made 351 00:18:05.519 --> 00:18:08.000 us think about all the actual logistics of this, which 352 00:18:08.039 --> 00:18:10.519 is very boring but is part of it. Because a 353 00:18:10.519 --> 00:18:12.119 lot of people have said, oh, why don't you do this? 354 00:18:12.119 --> 00:18:13.920 Why don't you do that? And we get people getting 355 00:18:13.920 --> 00:18:16.440 in touch and saying, oh, I'm a musician. Can I 356 00:18:16.440 --> 00:18:18.400 come and play something? Can I come and do a thing? 357 00:18:19.240 --> 00:18:20.920 And you go okay, yeah, great, Are you going to 358 00:18:21.000 --> 00:18:23.559 organize the toilets? And are you going to organize the 359 00:18:23.599 --> 00:18:28.000 parking and insurance and all that kind of stuff? 360 00:18:28.079 --> 00:18:31.680 You think there's so much it is to be sorted 361 00:18:31.880 --> 00:18:36.160 because okay, so you probably you know, and your first effect, 362 00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:38.839 they probably wouldn't end up with two thousand people. But 363 00:18:38.920 --> 00:18:41.680 if you ended up with our road two hundred and 364 00:18:41.720 --> 00:18:46.519 three hundred people, they will, I guess, come by car? 365 00:18:46.839 --> 00:18:48.440 Where are they going to park? Where are they going 366 00:18:48.440 --> 00:18:48.720 to park? 367 00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:50.960 Have to borrow one of the fields next door. 368 00:18:51.160 --> 00:18:53.240 And then if it rains, you can't put them in 369 00:18:53.240 --> 00:18:54.799 a field because it would just turned to mud. 370 00:18:55.039 --> 00:18:57.599 And that road to us, so the road from us 371 00:18:57.640 --> 00:19:00.759 to the main road where the back race was is 372 00:19:01.079 --> 00:19:02.200 sort of like a single. 373 00:19:01.920 --> 00:19:04.799 Track, so and they could park on the verges. 374 00:19:05.000 --> 00:19:07.680 Yeah, but then then there would be stuck for people 375 00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:09.240 getting in and out. If somebody

was trying to come 376 00:19:09.240 --> 00:19:10.720 in when somebody else was trying to get out, that 377 00:19:10.759 --> 00:19:13.759 wouldn't work. You'd need traffic control because of otherwise that 378 00:19:13.759 --> 00:19:15.880 would get completely round because you couldn't have two cars 379 00:19:15.920 --> 00:19:18.079 parking if anyone's parked on the side. 380 00:19:18.680 --> 00:19:20.920 Well no, you no, you could have somebody parked on 381 00:19:21.519 --> 00:19:23.400 You can have them all parked down one side and 382 00:19:23.480 --> 00:19:27.720 then they could get in a lap anyway, you know. 383 00:19:27.759 --> 00:19:30.559 But but there you go. You see there's the beginning 384 00:19:30.839 --> 00:19:35.440 of the conversations that are required. And then and then 385 00:19:35.559 --> 00:19:39.480 you've got a stage, and then you need electricity, so 386 00:19:39.559 --> 00:19:43.319 you need to be able to power it, and you 387 00:19:43.400 --> 00:19:47.119 certainly can't power it from our electrical system. The whole 388 00:19:47.160 --> 00:19:48.920 thing would probably expose. 389 00:19:48.640 --> 00:19:50.720 Our electrical system. You can't have because we've got an 390 00:19:50.759 --> 00:19:53.960 electric car. You can't have the car plugged in and 391 00:19:54.000 --> 00:19:56.319 the oven at the same time. Otherwise everything fast. 392 00:19:56.160 --> 00:19:59.880 All the dish washer, you're the iron, boil the kettle. 393 00:20:00.119 --> 00:20:04.920 Yeah. So yeah, we definitely do not have enough power to. 394 00:20:05.000 --> 00:20:09.799 No, you need you need proper, proper power. And and 395 00:20:09.839 --> 00:20:14.319 then yeah you need security. You know. I don't know 396 00:20:14.400 --> 00:20:17.480 what they do. I know that a lot of UK 397 00:20:17.559 --> 00:20:21.559 e of its have Sint John's Ambulance, don't they who 398 00:20:21.680 --> 00:20:25.839 are volunteers. I don't know whether they are anymore, but 399 00:20:25.960 --> 00:20:28.880 I mean, you know, what do you do here? Somebody 400 00:20:28.920 --> 00:20:32.680 becomes ill here? Why must be something similar? 401 00:20:32.720 --> 00:20:34.359 They must be a sort of like a first age. 402 00:20:34.519 --> 00:20:39.279 Yeah, probably something. So, you know, there's so many aspects 403 00:20:39.319 --> 00:20:39.839 of it. 404 00:20:39.759 --> 00:20:41.480 I know, and it goes from the lovely like oh, 405 00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:42.920 who could we get to come and play? 406 00:20:43.480 --> 00:20:48.119 Like oh, and then when you start reading up about 407 00:20:49.640 --> 00:20:54.799 getting you know, like what you call them real musicians, 408 00:20:54.799 --> 00:20:58.759 professional musicians, well known musicians, you know, and then you 409 00:20:58.880 --> 00:21:03.440 start looking at actually how much it costs, not only 410 00:21:03.559 --> 00:21:08.880 for their fee, but everything all their requirements. So they 411 00:21:09.200

--> 00:21:11.519 normally they would supply I've got it was called now 412 00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:14.799 the rider, the rider. That was it. Yes, they supply 413 00:21:14.960 --> 00:21:22.000 with the rider, which is their fee. Their requirements you know, food, dirt, 414 00:21:22.119 --> 00:21:23.240 the sound, the lighting. 415 00:21:23.440 --> 00:21:24.960 Yeah, it's not just the M and ms with all 416 00:21:24.960 --> 00:21:29.000 the brown ones removed or whatever. It was. It their 417 00:21:29.119 --> 00:21:32.039 specifications thought equipment they have to have and what standard 418 00:21:32.039 --> 00:21:34.480 and microphones and speakers and all this kind of. 419 00:21:34.960 --> 00:21:38.359 Like they go, oh, good grief, you know, and then 420 00:21:38.400 --> 00:21:43.599 it becomes you know, because I looked at what the 421 00:21:43.599 --> 00:21:48.680 potential rider would be for Greg Reporter and it was 422 00:21:50.119 --> 00:21:54.160 from memory it was in excess of a quarter of 423 00:21:54.200 --> 00:21:59.680 a million euros. Yeah, and so you start thinking, well, okay, 424 00:22:00.039 --> 00:22:01.920 are we going to make money out of this? 425 00:22:03.319 --> 00:22:05.359 I mean, I'm quite happy not make money. I'm quite 426 00:22:05.400 --> 00:22:08.079 happy just cover all the costs and have a great. 427 00:22:08.160 --> 00:22:10.640 I want to make money and sip tanks. I'm not. 428 00:22:10.680 --> 00:22:12.240 I wouldn't have thought that we'd make much of a 429 00:22:12.240 --> 00:22:14.119 profit out of it, but it would be a fun 430 00:22:14.119 --> 00:22:14.640 thing to do. 431 00:22:15.880 --> 00:22:17.279 Oh no, I don't want to do it for fun. 432 00:22:21.640 --> 00:22:23.839 Okay, if the Rolling Stones knock on the door and 433 00:22:23.880 --> 00:22:25.000 go right I knocking? 434 00:22:25.720 --> 00:22:29.519 All right, Okay, okay, I go point taken. Can you 435 00:22:29.559 --> 00:22:33.640 imagine what the rider is for them? Oh? Lord God, 436 00:22:33.640 --> 00:22:36.599 before you even open the gate, you're probably down about five, 437 00:22:36.720 --> 00:22:38.960 five or six mil. Yeah, I would have thought, if 438 00:22:39.000 --> 00:22:43.039 not more, probably goodness gracious me. 439 00:22:43.480 --> 00:22:45.519 But we've talked about that before, haven't We asked our 440 00:22:45.599 --> 00:22:47.240 dream line up and doing something here. 441 00:22:47.319 --> 00:22:50.599 But you'd have to have lyning like sort of zimmer 442 00:22:50.599 --> 00:22:55.720 frames lined up to the stage for the Stones, wouldn't you. No, 443 00:22:55.880 --> 00:22:58.680 I love the Stones. I'm sorry it was a joke 444 00:22:58.720 --> 00:23:00.319 and port taste. I'm sorry, Mick. 445 00:23:00.680 --> 00:23:03.319 Sorry, here's a big fan. Yeah, they're both big fans. 446 00:23:03.359 --> 00:23:03.880 They watch it. 447 00:23:06.720 --> 00:23:07.759 Ill behave. 448 00:23:09.799 --> 00:23:11.839 Have we said this. I don't know, stop me if 449 00:23:11.880 --> 00:23:15.000 we've heard this one before. But when we had our our. 450 00:23:14.880 --> 00:23:16.599 Studio, they're all silent. 451 00:23:17.799 --> 00:23:21.480 When we had our photographic studio in Clapham in South London, 452 00:23:21.519 --> 00:23:26.759 posh bit of London, we found out like the day 453 00:23:26.799 --> 00:23:29.599 after so opposite our studio, just around the corner from 454 00:23:29.640 --> 00:23:30.400 our studio. 455 00:23:30.200 --> 00:23:33.559 Was a sort of oh thanks for sorry. It's like a. 456 00:23:33.519 --> 00:23:39.480 Warehousey space where they sometimes do music rehearsals. And one 457 00:23:39.559 --> 00:23:41.960 day the Rolling Stones were using it as rehearsal space 458 00:23:42.599 --> 00:23:45.759 and they had their security guard outside. And when people 459 00:23:45.799 --> 00:23:49.160 were stopping and hearing the Rolling Stones, and then security 460 00:23:49.160 --> 00:23:51.279 guard was saying, oh, no, it's just a tribute band. 461 00:23:51.960 --> 00:23:54.559 It's just what they call it. Yeah, there's a there 462 00:23:54.599 --> 00:23:56.440 is a well known Rolling Stones tribute band. So he 463 00:23:56.480 --> 00:23:58.279 was saying, oh, no, no, it's just them. It's nothing 464 00:23:58.279 --> 00:24:01.559 to you know, don't get excited, it's just bands. 465 00:24:01.680 --> 00:24:03.680 Always have security. Exactly. 466 00:24:04.279 --> 00:24:08.400 It's literally like one hundred meters walk from our studio 467 00:24:08.680 --> 00:24:11.680 where the Rolling Stones were, so apparently there were a 468 00:24:11.680 --> 00:24:15.160 few people just standing around in the road who knew 469 00:24:14.839 --> 00:24:17.359 you could hear and no, no, no, that is not 470 00:24:17.480 --> 00:24:21.160 the tribute act. That is the real thing. But we 471 00:24:21.160 --> 00:24:22.799 didn't know about this until after day. 472 00:24:22.799 --> 00:24:26.279 After annoyed, you wouldn't have seen me for dust. 473 00:24:26.519 --> 00:24:28.160 You would have canceled all your point, all those kids 474 00:24:28.200 --> 00:24:28.920 waiting to have their pic. 475 00:24:29.079 --> 00:24:31.400 No go a wait, no no, I don't know anything 476 00:24:31.400 --> 00:24:33.240 about photography.

Please dear 479 00:24:44.680 --> 00:24:49.240 me brand sugar please? That would be good. 480 00:24:49.279 --> 00:24:51.559 After rehearse that. Surely they know them by Now. 481 00:24:54.200 --> 00:24:56.400 What are we going to talk about? Oh? Yes, yeah, 482 00:24:57.880 --> 00:25:02.640 m blowing up that bloody flamingo. 483 00:25:02.920 --> 00:25:04.839 Thank you for my flamingo? 484 00:25:05.599 --> 00:25:06.759 Who love your flamingo?

Lots of people suggested Flow the Flamingo, 489 00:25:17.319 --> 00:25:18.559 which is a fantastic name. 490 00:25:18.799 --> 00:25:20.400 It is a fantastic. 491 00:25:19.880 --> 00:25:23.240 Except that's middle daughter is called Flow, So that wouldn't work. 492 00:25:23.519 --> 00:25:26.279 It would be it would be a bit problematic, weird, 493 00:25:26.440 --> 00:25:30.200 not not enormously problematic, but I mean especially But you 494 00:25:30.240 --> 00:25:33.480 know she's gonna she's coming this summer with her husband 495 00:25:33.599 --> 00:25:37.799 and my granddaughter Siena.

Yeah. 500 00:25:54.440 --> 00:25:58.519 I've increased my my lung capacity quite considerably since blowing 501 00:25:58.519 --> 00:26:02.759 that thing up. It was its real feeling really dizzy 502 00:26:02.880 --> 00:26:04.799 doing that, you know, Yeah. 503 00:26:04.480 --> 00:26:07.480 And then and then get used to it. And it 504 00:26:07.559 --> 00:26:09.880 was hot as well. It was hot, yeah, it was. 505 00:26:10.119 --> 00:26:13.799 Reyne disappeared for a while. 506 00:26:15.000 --> 00:26:17.799 And so I've applied for a job now as a 507 00:26:17.839 --> 00:26:20.880 pearl diver because I think I can hold my breath 508 00:26:20.880 --> 00:26:23.359 for over a minute and a half now come back 509 00:26:23.400 --> 00:26:26.160 with a handful of pearls, no problem. 510 00:26:26.599 --> 00:26:29.680 Unfortunately I haven't had the chance to test out mingo. 511 00:26:29.799 --> 00:26:32.000 Yeah. Yeah, it's good weathers. 512 00:26:32.079 --> 00:26:33.839 Yeah, we've got the pool ready and now the weather's 513 00:26:33.880 --> 00:26:38.319 rubbish so nice next week. 514 00:26:38.160 --> 00:26:40.920 Though it is it's going to get hot again next week, 515 00:26:41.079 --> 00:26:43.200 so it's going to end up being that seven thirty 516 00:26:43.240 --> 00:26:45.720 eight again next week, which would be great. So I 517 00:26:45.839 --> 00:26:51.039 have the pool perfect and as a special guest, we 518 00:26:51.440 --> 00:26:53.839 would call him you know, you know, like in TV 519 00:26:53.920 --> 00:26:57.359 series I have guest star. Yes, so guest star will 520 00:26:57.400 --> 00:26:59.039 be my stepdad. 521 00:26:59.079 --> 00:27:01.319 David is coming for a couple of weeks, so he 522 00:27:01.319 --> 00:27:03.000 will be our guest staff for a couple of weeks. 523 00:27:03.200 --> 00:27:05.799

He has lots of great navy stories that I'm sure 524 00:27:05.839 --> 00:27:07.119 he can recount yep. 525 00:27:07.559 --> 00:27:09.359 And he's very keen to do lots of jobs and 526 00:27:09.359 --> 00:27:12.440 help out with lots of stuff, which is great. So yeah, 527 00:27:12.480 --> 00:27:13.480 we'll keep him to seat. 528 00:27:13.960 --> 00:27:16.240 He cannot pupie, So hopefully the pool will be ready 529 00:27:16.240 --> 00:27:21.000 by then. It will be cool. If anybody suggests you 530 00:27:21.119 --> 00:27:23.519 that it's a good idea to own a swimming pool, 531 00:27:24.319 --> 00:27:28.799 just put them in our direction. Yeah, I will set 532 00:27:28.839 --> 00:27:29.559 them right, won't we. 533 00:27:29.799 --> 00:27:31.880 Unless they are incredibly wealthy and you can just afford 534 00:27:31.920 --> 00:27:33.400 for somebody to come and deal with it for you, 535 00:27:33.960 --> 00:27:36.559 then fine. But if you if you're having to fiddle 536 00:27:36.559 --> 00:27:39.759 about it with it yourself, then I do not recommend. 537 00:27:41.279 --> 00:27:41.319 I. 538 00:27:41.680 --> 00:27:44.960 Then they're hearing that. Like certainly in the UK, if 539 00:27:45.319 --> 00:27:47.119 a house is for sale with a swimming pool, lots 540 00:27:47.119 --> 00:27:51.119 of people say that the devalues the house. And I 541 00:27:51.160 --> 00:27:53.240 could never understand that before. I was like, but swimming 542 00:27:53.240 --> 00:27:57.640 pool fantasy. You know, that's it's amazing and now we 543 00:27:57.799 --> 00:28:01.039 understand it, especially in the UK, becau because think how 544 00:28:01.079 --> 00:28:03.319 little use you get out of a pool in certain 545 00:28:03.359 --> 00:28:05.920 areas of the UK unless you're really hardy. 546 00:28:06.960 --> 00:28:09.039 Yeah, it's true. I saw of statistic the other day 547 00:28:09.200 --> 00:28:13.079 that said that the UK own more convertible cars and 548 00:28:13.680 --> 00:28:15.119 almost anywhere in Europe. 549 00:28:15.440 --> 00:28:16.759 Yeah, but we were talking about this the other day 550 00:28:16.759 --> 00:28:18.920 as well. Actually, when it was really hot, there's no 551 00:28:19.079 --> 00:28:22.079 point owning a convertible car because you can't drive around 552 00:28:22.079 --> 00:28:24.079 with the roof down during the day because you will 553 00:28:24.119 --> 00:28:28.160 just for yourself to a crisp and you need the 554 00:28:28.160 --> 00:28:30.519 air conditioning. So actually you can only have the top 555 00:28:30.559 --> 00:28:32.960 down conversing in the morning or in the evening. 556 00:28:33.759 --> 00:28:38.359 So bit pointless really. So the UK is the perfect 557 00:28:38.880 --> 00:28:43.160 at the perfect place really because it rarely gets that hot, 558 00:28:44.440 --> 00:28:46.039 so you can use it a lot more than you 559 00:28:46.079 --> 00:28:47.799 can here. For example, November when we. 560 00:28:47.759 --> 00:28:53.279 Got that that convertible on loan when we heard the accident. Yeah, 561 00:28:53.319 --> 00:28:55.279 so this was when we were living in London and 562 00:28:55.319 --> 00:28:56.799 we were living in Devon, but the studio is in 563 00:28:56.839 --> 00:28:58.640 London and we're up and down the motorway all the time. 564 00:28:59.160 --> 00:29:01.759 And one evening we were going back down to Devon 565 00:29:02.480 --> 00:29:04.319 and somebody drove back into the back of us on 566 00:29:04.359 --> 00:29:09.759 the motorway, which whilst he was on his tone genius, 567 00:29:10.480 --> 00:29:12.480 so he smashed up in the back of the car 568 00:29:12.839 --> 00:29:16.079 and gave us whiplash, proper whiplash, which was rather unpleasant. 569 00:29:17.000 --> 00:29:19.680 But whilst car was being fixed, we've been given a 570 00:29:19.680 --> 00:29:23.240 loan car and it was a convertible, four seater convertible 571 00:29:23.440 --> 00:29:25.240 and like we so the next time we went out 572 00:29:25.279 --> 00:29:28.400 to London and we took Mimi with us. Mimi was 573 00:29:28.400 --> 00:29:30.599 in the back of the convertible with her little seat 574 00:29:30.640 --> 00:29:33.880 belt on, her little harness, with their little lears going 575 00:29:33.920 --> 00:29:34.359 in the wheel. 576 00:29:34.440 --> 00:29:39.799 But this is wonderfault. 577 00:29:41.200 --> 00:29:44.200 She had such a lovely time. She absolutely loved it, 578 00:29:44.279 --> 00:29:46.480 just her little nose slipping all the sliffs going down 579 00:29:46.480 --> 00:29:51.319 the motorways, brilliant fun. But it wasn't that sunny, so 580 00:29:51.559 --> 00:29:55.000 it was all right. She did have her harness on, 581 00:29:55.119 --> 00:29:59.599 Yes you did, Yes, sorry, I've gone a track as usual. 582 00:29:59.759 --> 00:30:01.960 Well we do, don't we as part of the fund 583 00:30:02.000 --> 00:30:02.680 surely is that? 584 00:30:04.920 --> 00:30:05.160 Well? 585 00:30:05.160 --> 00:30:10.599 Else, I have a question for everybody, and that is 586 00:30:12.559 --> 00:30:19.119 shower controls. You know what, really we're really like changing 587 00:30:19.920 --> 00:30:23.799 subjects here. So shower controls, right, So when you get 588 00:30:23.839 --> 00:30:27.960 into a shower, My experience of you get into a 589 00:30:28.000 --> 00:30:32.920 shower in a hotel room anywhere in the world, and 590 00:30:33.119 --> 00:30:38.200 you look at the shower controls and you have no 591 00:30:38.359 --> 00:30:42.519 idea what they do, and then you turn one on 592 00:30:42.680 --> 00:30:48.640 and then inevitably it controls you know, the mobile shower head, 593 00:30:48.799 --> 00:30:51.160 and the mobile shower is pointing towards you. Is just 594 00:30:51.440 --> 00:30:54.640 so you get soaking wet and then and then and 595 00:30:54.680 --> 00:30:56.279 you go, okay, well it's not that, no, intern it 596 00:30:56.319 --> 00:30:59.920 the other way. And then do you know which way 597

00:31:00.079 --> 00:31:02.160 to turn the temperature? 598 00:31:02.200 --> 00:31:06.640 Gage No, so the scold yourself. 599 00:31:06.200 --> 00:31:11.480 Yeah, exactly, or freeze. So I like to start campaign, well, 600 00:31:11.480 --> 00:31:15.880 I'd like to know first if anybody is a specialist 601 00:31:16.000 --> 00:31:19.640 in showers, and if they know that there is an 602 00:31:19.759 --> 00:31:24.319 international global code for shower controls. 603 00:31:24.519 --> 00:31:27.400 It's even more annoying when it's got the little symbols 604 00:31:27.440 --> 00:31:29.279 on it and they've installed it the wrong way around. 605 00:31:29.759 --> 00:31:31.319 So even if you think you're doing the right thing, 606 00:31:31.359 --> 00:31:32.000 you get the wrong thing. 607 00:31:32.039 --> 00:31:32.960 Oh it's ridiculous. 608 00:31:33.000 --> 00:31:35.319 I mean it's absolutely I always make you go first 609 00:31:35.480 --> 00:31:37.279 in a shower in a hotel. You always go first 610 00:31:37.319 --> 00:31:37.960 and then I go in. 611 00:31:37.920 --> 00:31:41.880 How does it work? It's all right, darling, and I've 612 00:31:41.960 --> 00:31:44.119 just said it the right temperature. Just turn that one 613 00:31:44.160 --> 00:31:49.200 and then you'll be fine. But it's crazy, isn't it. 614 00:31:49.279 --> 00:31:52.279 I mean, it's just us absolutely crazy, you know.

Wow'd like an exact combination that 798 00:41:55.000 --> 00:41:59.320 smells exactly and I can see everything in there, all 799 00:41:59.320 --> 00:42:02.159 these little box, all these little bits and pieces and 800 00:42:02.199 --> 00:42:04.079 it's just like instant transportation. 801 00:42:04.239 --> 00:42:06.320 How do you think you were that you were in 802 00:42:06.320 --> 00:42:06.800 a memory? 803 00:42:07.480 --> 00:42:12.119 Oh so like tennish Yeah, I think, well, you know 804 00:42:12.239 --> 00:42:18.480 it was there all through my growing up until gosh 805 00:42:19.039 --> 00:42:19.480 did you go? 806 00:42:19.880 --> 00:42:23.519 Yeah, amazing, So when I was young that was extraordinary? 807 00:42:23.559 --> 00:42:25.800 Is there? And you know, okay, so the last thing 808 00:42:25.800 --> 00:42:29.400 I want to say, the last thing, I don't want 809 00:42:29.400 --> 00:42:33.480 to set you off, but after my mum passed away, 810 00:42:36.280 --> 00:42:43.280 I've smelt her perfume many occasions, and her perfume is 811 00:42:44.360 --> 00:42:48.719 it is quite rare, rarely worn now because there's so 812 00:42:48.840 --> 00:42:55.000 much choice of perfume now. And it was Caleesh by 813 00:42:55.239 --> 00:42:59.280 ab Mess and it was a very very distinctive spell. 814 00:42:59.480 --> 00:43:03.920 And you know, you find yourself suddenly you get this whiff. 815 00:43:03.880 --> 00:43:06.559 And not in public, just in an empty room. 816 00:43:06.760 --> 00:43:11.920 Yeah, and how can that be? You know, I do 817 00:43:12.159 --> 00:43:17.639 not have that perfume anywhere in the house on me, 818 00:43:18.440 --> 00:43:22.639 you know, and you get these I find that it's 819 00:43:22.960 --> 00:43:28.920 very weird. Yeah, but but but nice though, Yeah, lovely, 820 00:43:29.239 --> 00:43:34.159 really really lovely.

00:43:38.719 --> 00:43:41.880 clanks of wood. This would be my third to the 825 00:43:41.920 --> 00:43:44.800 IY shop this week because I went on Monday see 826 00:43:44.800 --> 00:43:46.119 if they had more of the wood that I need 827 00:43:46.159 --> 00:43:49.519 for the office, and they didn't and he said have 828 00:43:49.599 --> 00:43:52.519 it in on Wednesday.

I couldn't quite work it out, 833 00:44:03.920 --> 00:44:04.360 so I was like. 834 00:44:04.360 --> 00:44:06.199 Well, but you told me coming today. 835 00:44:06.880 --> 00:44:10.280 Yeah.
