 [Music] Hello, welcome, I'm Charlie and this is my husband Andrew. Hello. Our podcast Funny Family is a one-stop shop to making you feel your family is actually normal. Whatever normal may be, I cook, we parent, and we most importantly survive the school playground. Ish. [Music] Hi Andrew, how are you doing? - Very well, thank you, very well. - Good, I just want to say first of all, first of all, we'll be starting. - We can start again. (laughing) - Wish you just put that in, just to show how professional it is in the studio. (upbeat music) - Hey, Andrew, how you doing? - Very well, thank you, and you. - Good, yeah, good. I just want to say that this episode is an association with Gary Lindker. - Oh, in support of. - In support of Gary Lindker. - Yeah, I think just the whole, you're not allowed to criticize the government, is just nonsense, right? I think we should be able to say things easy. - When have we not been able to criticize the government? I mean, that surely is why they're there anyway 'cause that's all there is to do with them. - Yeah, what? To criticize the government? - Yeah. - But you're not gonna compliment them, are we? - No, not, based on the last-- - Most, that is what we're not. - Exactly, right? So it's put, oh my God, that story has blown my mind. - It's amazing, yeah, I even Facebook did, right? And we have comments on people in support, but just the principle of, oh, you're on TV, you can't actually express an opinion. You can't have a comment about government policy. It's just nonsense. - Yeah, and also, I mean, this is a very serious start to our podcast, but actually it has really bugged me this week, how you can't criticize a government's wording when actually, let's forget the wording for a second. And even if they've said, oh, okay, well, it's gonna be done with pink bows flowers and kittens, the theory behind it is still appallingly against human rights and just being human. I just, yeah. I mean, I know there's a problem. I understand that there is an issue, but there has got to be a more human way of approaching it. Yeah, this whole wokeness, right? This whole, you're not allowed to comment and say anything. I mean, the one I read was, if he had come out in support of government policy and said it's fantastic and I really agree with whatever they're doing. Do you think he would have been banned? - No, of course not. - Which just shows you how closely allied BBC and the government are, which in its own right tells you how, I just got a message there, sorry. As I said, it's so professional. It's ridiculous, I mean, there's no sense of non bias there, is there? - No, no, yeah, and they're meant to be impartial. But actually, if you're a newsreadier impartial, right? if you're an entertainer or a football pundit or a podcaster or whatever, your job isn't to be impartial, right? Your job is to express an opinion and have fun, right? - Well, actually it's funny enough. Some people have said to me who have said, you know, I love the podcast, but are you allowed to be that opinionated? And I say, well, the day I'm not allowed to be this opinionated, I don't want to do a podcast. - Yeah, I mean. - Do you not know me? - Yeah, I agree. - This is, you can turn me off, it's my point. This is my right, like my children keep telling me, they have rights and I have rights, and we all have rights, the rabbit has rights, and the fish have rights, and we all have rights. And if I can't speak what I feel, then just shut down society. - Yeah, we're not out to be offensive, right? But you have a view on the world, right? And we, and actually, humor, and we hope the podcast is funny, humor, in essence, often gets into challenging people's views and feelings, right? - Exactly. - But no, we have conversations and we have discussions and some things we don't say, right? And the previous podcast, when we were in the peak district, there were things that we probably wouldn't broadcast, right? Which is between us, but... - Are we back to the McCanns? - Yeah. - Do you want to turn into get that out there? - No. - Honestly, he's got that mischievous glint in his eye. You know the one. You know it. If you see, if you know Andrew, or if you've seen pictures of Andrew, You will see this little look and he gives it to me like, oh God, oh God, he's gonna do something. - Angelic. - No, that's not how I read it. (laughing) I mean, what I love about you as well is that you pretend to be so innocent and angelic. And of course, very sadly, mystic Meg tied this week, didn't you? - Yeah, I bet she didn't see that coming. - Boom, that's what he said straight off. Which I do actually think is rather brilliant. But then we realized everyone's actually being very serious about it. So I've now gone back to being reverend. - Reverend, yes. - But she was great. I mean, she was, she looked she was good at guessing stuff. - Yeah, I think it was utter bollocks. (laughing) I'm honest. I can remember watching TV when I was younger. Breakfast TV, I think she was on. And we do the whole horoscope. And it's utter nonsense. I don't know if you listen to the, so you're telling me everyone that's born in this month, whatever it is, every year are all the same. What star sign are you? I'm a virgin. A Virgo. No, no, I've got children. I am not a virgin. I'm Virgo. Yeah, and you've got a child who's 25, right? Yeah. You are so not a virgin. Yeah, exactly. But you're a Virgo. I don't know what that means. Yeah, but I meant to be really clean and tidy and ordered. Well, you are. But I hauded a bit. It doesn't mean you're not tidy and you haunt, and but you tidy it away. Yeah, but I can't believe everyone born in September is all the same, right? - I don't mind to either, but I will say this, I'm a Capricorn, Christmas Day. - And what does that mean, a Capricorn? - It means we're stubborn, but we're very trustworthy. - Yes, I'm determined. - We can't be perfectionist. You see what I was saying? You're nodding now, going actually, this is-- - Okay, maybe there's something in this. (laughing) So there's that with the star sign, and then you have the Chinese year of the pig, and they've got particular traits, So year of whatever it is of Chinese... What are you again? I have no idea, I can't remember rat or a pig or... I mean I could say, but you can't make it now, but... I can't remember. No, I can't. I think I'm really something boring like a cockerel or something. Yeah. I don't know how you actually say which one's more exciting, but I remember someone telling me, I think it was our youngest told me what I was in terms of Chinese star sign thing, Chinese year, so. And I just thought really? Yes, and yes. I think it used to be in the newspaper And who was the other guy who did it? Russell. Oh yeah? Russell. Wow. He went on strictly. That's got nothing to do with it. What's his name? Russell. Grant? Grant. It's Russell Grant. Yeah, I think it is Russell Grant. Yeah, and it's entertaining, but it's just nonsense. It's my idea. You want to protect your weak for you. Yeah, but it's probably nothing to do with my horoscope. But yeah, go ahead. Okay. Um, Andrew. (laughs) Less of the laugh, John, getting into character. Okay. - Is this Mystic Meg? - I'm bloody, he does interrupt and not, yes. I know I'm Mystic Charlie, do I look like a Meg? Andrew, welcome. I see this week as being rather hectic, parenting hell. I think you're going to be so busy at work that your wife will give you hell and it's all going to be a bit shit. - Very accurate, nearly very accurate. - I'm pretty sure, that's gonna be right. That's pretty much spot on, I think. So I've come round to it. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Yes. (funky music) But the children had a school disco this week. Yes. It actually wasn't their first, 'cause we kept saying it's their first school disco, but they did have one pre-pandemic. Oh, right, okay, yes. Wow, all that time, yeah. Yeah, all that time ago. So eight years old and school disco, love it. It's just thing it's brilliant. I mean, thought back so many memories for me of my first school disco. Which were? which were, well I was older than eight. I was about 11, I think my first school this year. And it was basically, we would call them, 'cause I went to boarding school, we had house discos. So all the people in my year thought I was as pure as an angel. I mean, everyone's really nice since, right? (laughing) But at the time they were like, she doesn't swear. I'm not sure if she even knows what boys are. You know, all of this, but she ever had a cigarette, blah, blah, blah. So they kept saying to me, "You won't dance with anyone." Oh, you don't swear, you don't do anything, right? I don't know what clicked in my head at that point, but anyway, I got to this disco, and I was quite free and easy, really. I was going up the boys, and I was like, in my head I was like, "I'm gonna dance with every single one of you." I danced with every single boy in that room. - Wow. - Little bit of a slow dance. - Wow. - Do you need even, to be honest, I don't think it went on for more than an hour and a half, so I must have literally just been like, hold me, next, hold me, next. So that your business only changed. - You're not the darkening bit. - Yeah. - You've probably started changing at that point. And then the swearing bit, I was like, well, I can swear. And it's only because my parents were really good parents and they basically said to me, do not swear something bad will happen to you. - Yeah. - You know, it was a good message. - Yeah. - But it's amazing how within one hour, I had lost that message and I was like, they were like going, say shit, now I've got shit. And she was like, "Oh my god, she did it, she did it!" Say F, F, I'd be actual words, and they were like, "Oh my god!" And then I became cool overnight. Suddenly, just like... So school disco was really transformative thing. Yeah, it was like a thing, like a change in your world. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then, now you see me today. Yes. I think they had fun, didn't they? I think they did, yeah, they had fun. And the bit I go, you turn up there, and the school room or the hall is just bouncing and the heat and the steam coming out and the children noise and the smell it's just like I am so glad I am not a teacher that has to put on that disco. I mean that's going above and beyond. I mean actually it's on a serious note hats off to the PTA and to the teachers for that level of endurance. Oh my god because when they open that door all I get is this rank smell of child cheese. You know what I mean? It's so loud I can't hear myself saying oh it's just I don't know how they do it. I have to say teachers do generally hang out the door going I really need a train. I need a glass of wine. I mean something but they're awesome. I mean it's called disco. I can't actually remember my first school disco if I'm I'm honest. - Do you remember any discos? - Yes, I was going to. - Yeah, well, they weren't really discos. The thing was I'd moved to Mid Wales. The ones I can remember is in the, well, actually I went to the town hall in Tipping Norton. I think I can remember going there, but vaguely, but I was very young. But the one I used to go was the Strand in Bill Thwells. (laughing) And it's like-- - That was going so well for you. - Until I said Bill Thwells. - Yes! (laughing) - I was like, the Strand? - The Strand, yeah, yeah, yeah, the Strand. That's what I used to go to the Strand. - Oh, God, that's like Fabric. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but it yeah, it was yeah, that was not I was nasty in what way in what ways drinking fighting dancing Well, I was GCC a level age so yeah, it was pretty nasty It was like sticky carpet essentially. Yeah, it was a wooden floor, but it was yeah, it was pretty grim Yeah, you know that when you can't lift your feet off the ground to dance. Yeah, in a grim environment Yeah, yeah, it's not good, but that was the only place to go right? I mean, that's what you did although saying that and this off topic now But it's actually good to do a dance in I can remember when I was in mid Wales Pre so mobile phones people today think oh mobile phones exist, right children today even asked had no idea Like Finn couldn't believe that you know, we didn't have mobile phones in technology Right when we were younger, no mobile phone. We used to go to raves in mid Wales How, how we got there, how we knew this was going on and you'd turn up at a barn or a farm somewhere in the middle of nowhere To a rave and I just have no idea how I have no way of contacting your parents. No. So your parents to be fair to them Absolutely instilled so much trust in you. Which was their first mistake But you couldn't text and go where are you? We're okay. No, no - We'll be back at this time. - No, no, it wouldn't be this time. It'd be the morning. - Yeah. - I mean, it would be the next morning you'd go home, right? - Yes. - And there'd be a bunch of lads in a car which-- - Oh, we don't, no one needs to know about this, right? - No. - This, if you're listening as a young person, is not the way to conduct your life. We are not pillars of society. - No, I'm so glad I lived before social media. Might have my youth happened before social media. - Thank you. - I feel sorry for children today. and teenagers having to grow up with social media. - Oh, totally. - Every move, everything is captured. - Everything. And they're taken in by so much as well. It's really scary. I've come off Facebook, haven't I? - You have. This isn't an extraordinary thing. - This week, the week where you've done a lot of coming off things. - How? (laughing) - Yeah, no, I mean, they're suddenly really bad, didn't they? But I've joined the A and I've got a lot of people where I really have them absolutely fine now. No, what we'd like to clarify, I have come off Facebook. I have come off Twitter. Yes. I'm very much on Instagram with this podcast and I've unsubscribe from loads of shit that I guess I might nail well. But why did you come off Facebook? What was what was the Facebook thing? Because I know lots of people sort of go through things of porn or... Well it is a twofold thing really. It's partly because I realised I was giving up too much time watching other people's lives go by and I don't get that as a concept and when I think about it I didn't need it before it existed and I don't need it now and I have to say the first few days I was a bit like oh no I automatically go to Facebook and I look at other people's photos now I feel actually really free which is great it's a bit it's been like an addiction you it is you've got to come off it yeah it is addiction it felt very like whole turkey the first couple of days yeah so that's that's been really good and the Facebook and the bit I'm I'm still on Facebook I still post and I'd probably as guilty as everyone else's you tend to give the rose tinted view of your life. So you present, this is what I want everyone to believe my life is like. Yes. No, I don't do that, but other people do. Yeah, no, it's true. It's true. You don't do that. Oh, as he said it, I was like, I think he's pulling my leg. He totally does that. Oh, he loves it. He'll like, he'll edit bits out. There shouldn't be a nail. Try and make me look slimmer. He'll do it the whole thing. You know, we're not like that. We're just really bog standards and quite boring, really, but I will say that here's an example so today we went to a tank museum didn't we? We did in Lynam. In Lynam. Actually it was excellent tank museum. Yeah really well put together. Yeah fantastic. Remi, remi, remi. Yeah, remi they're great. So it's the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers. And they basically are associated with all across the army, RAF, etc and they are fixing the machines and the guns and get it to be there. So I think it's mainly the army. They do the helicopter but for the army so tanks, but they're at the front line they're mending things to get them back into fighting. Yeah, and they're putting us their own lives at risk as they do that. Absolutely. I mean it's extraordinary. I didn't even know about it. So it was really enlightening and I would definitely recommend going. It's just near Wutambasset isn't it? Yeah, I'll have to line them. So just yeah. But what my point is back to the social media thing. So if I was on Facebook, for example, I now have a few photos of these cute little children with their heads out of tanks and wearing, you know, the smart ceremony dress and stuff and that sort of thing. And I think that's really lovely. Now that would be giving us somewhat false indication of how the day actually went. It's quite challenging. But no, no, it was fun. It was fun. It was - Children are. - But children are challenging. And it's that thing. You take them to this thing. There's amazing stuff around. There's like letters, like love letters. From the 1920s, 30s. I love you so much. I'm out here doing this and whatever. And they skip over that and they go straight for the gaming bit. - Yeah. - And what was it that you enjoyed most? Well, the bit where I basically have to move with joysticks, which is a big games console. A great entertaining for children. But that's the bit they like the most. - Not the actual tanks that they were looking at, or the-- - I'm not all about this picture. And that mandated this for our country. And they're like-- - Although the competitive us came in there, there was one that you had to put the wires together to repair this circuit board within a timeframe. - No, we got all the greens, didn't we? - We did. - We did it in a lot of time. And then we went over to those children being the mature adults that we are. And we did it, we did it in the past. And then they were managed to achieve something. And because they had said to us, oh no, you didn't, no, you didn't. I was like, even though I'd seen them do it, I was like, no you didn't. And Harry looks at me like, oh you're pathetic. I'm like, I am not pathetic. I am 41 years old and still grappling to find that maturity. Thank you very much. Yeah, there's no pathetic here. I'm pathetic, no. But anyway, so on the basis of that, we're gonna put him in the army. So I learned something else this week. Parallel parking. You know I said in the other episodes, I've got a bit of a problem with parallel parking. And they don't teach. Do they not teach parallel parking? No, reversing around a corner. You don't do any more in your test, do you? They've stopped doing reversing around a corner on your test, yeah. Because apparently it's dangerous for someone to reverse around a corner. That's all I was taught. But you don't do that on the test anymore. I think it was never taught me. Well, they taught me parallel parking, but 'cause I was so shit, they had to put sticky notes in the back window and on the side and go, "When that sticky note meets that, "but you need to turn it this way." Anyway, that's like bearing in mind are not very good at maths. might as well as said like two times 12 plus five minus six times three. There you go. There's your answer. So thank God I didn't have to do parallel parking in my test. I didn't have to do first round the corner actually. I did it rather well. Yes, but what you've told me this week and I've thought everybody is just exceptional at driving. When your comment was, that person was really shit coming up here absolutely crap and suddenly whoa the best parallel park in the world. like what? No, no, even in my previous BMW, it's all hands-free now. You just go past, you say, I want to park on the right, you press the part button, you drive past, it says, yeah, there's a space there, you put it in, press the button, and it parks the car for you. You just do the acceleration braking, it does all the steering and parts. What happens though? Just putting out the devil's advocate, if you go hard on the accelerator when you should be braking or something. - Or you'll crash. - Oh, you'll still crash. - So you'll still crash. - It just does the steering for you. But you gently do this. But that's the hard bit. That's the people can't get near where they're all over the curb and too sharp and a mile from the curb. - I'm gonna say about a year ago, I did some excellent parallel parking, but I haven't since, basically I am the driver. I love actually driving. - You do? - I don't think I'm too bad a driver. - Very good. - But when it comes to parallel parking, I freak out. I think it's mainly because men sit behind you in their cars like going, "Oh, what is she doing? "I'll come on love, let's get going." And I'm like, "Ah!" And I want to be cool, but I can't be cool in that situation. So I'm the person who will genuinely park like five blocks up and go back and walk back, like walk two and a half miles back to get to wherever I need to. - I used to know somebody on New York City that couldn't reverse at all. - Okay. - Right, so in order for it. So they would drive all the way around, right? Rather than go back anything, they would have to go round to get back. And there was somebody else, I think it was on, that they couldn't turn right. They could only turn left. - I think we know this person, so I was about to say the same thing, there's somebody who can only turn left, which I tell you, got to be a long way to go. - How do you get home? I've got to go left, left, left, left, left. - 'Cause you got roundabouts, you go left, yeah, fine. Junction, you go left, but you're still only getting to a certain point. - Yeah, yeah, wow. - I've got to break it at some point. - At some point, you got, I don't know how you get anywhere. - I know, I know. It is actually quite scary when I think about how many of us are on the road. But yeah, so that's fascinating. And I've said to you, my next car is gonna have that. Although I'll probably, like I said, I'll be the one to put the breakdown too hard and I'll be like, "You told me it's gonna park itself." - But you're not gonna wanna next car 'cause you've currently got your best car. - I actually do, he's absolutely right. When, from the moment I first met you, I've always talked about this car, haven't I? 'Cause I've dreamt about it for years. I was going to get this car when it first came out and what it is is a Suzuki Jimny. - That's your dream car. - Yeah, I know, people are laughing going, "Really, that's your dream car?" Genuinely, "Oh, I love it." I've got what year is it from? - It's at 2015. 2015. - She is just, she notices it. - Six, seven years old, yeah. - She's just wonderful. She's everything I thought she'd be. - Yes. because I have to say I do like manual driving. There's all that's it thing doesn't work. - No, so we did look, so I admit that we went and said let's have a look at it. Now Zuki Jim, we're gonna be boring now. Zuki Jim is you can't buy, well you can buy today, but they're commercial. There are only two seats, right? So you can't buy them. So we had to get a second hand one to get four seats. - One five really, but you know we have five. - But anyway. - I told them to ignore that. - Yeah, yeah, ignore that one. - We'll work it out. But again, so we looked and looked and looked and looked. And then this one came up, which is in a macular condition, only 20,000 miles on the clock. You know, and it was expensive for the age of car, right? So it was quite good money. - But the water was like a service every year. She towed a horse box or something on the back. I tried that. - Not all the time. No, it was just a hay. She used to have a little trailer with hay. She used to tow. But she does a under seal done. And it was, yeah, as the guy at the garage had, it's been the over service this car. - And it was a macular, right, for the age of car. At a macular, 20 of those miles on the clock. So it's perfect. So we go and look at this car, near Stroud somewhere we drove to, when I look at this car. So we went out in the car, didn't we, we drove? - We went out. You drove first. I then thought I was getting into some like enormous Range Rover 'cause I wasn't used to that size. I had a VW up before. I thought, oh my god, this thing's enormous. I've since learned it's not something, actually it's really nippy. And I'm pretty sure that I piss off most of Fairford with how fast I drive through the streets around here. I'm like, I'm in a four by four, but I can still sleep down the highway. (laughing) Yes, so we drove it around. I fell in love, didn't I? - Yes. - Absolutely fell in love. In fact, you were kind of like, my god, she loves this car more than me. It was a bit of one of those moments. And so, this is something he will never, ever, ever let me live down. And this is why we're talking about this. Go on, my friend. - Well, we got back and then we get out of the car and the guy comes over and says, how was that? And what did you say? - I said brilliant, I absolutely love it, it's perfect. (laughing) - To which I'm sitting there going, how the fuck do I negotiate now? So I thought, well, it's worth a try. Well, what's the best offer you would take? Any went, no, nothing. What, as it's advertised, I can't possibly take any money left, less. That's it because, well, do you want your marriage to survive this or not, right? Your choice, I could not find it better I'm not going to. And we had actually just got married. Yeah. Oh my god. I'm so sorry. So, but the thing is there is what I think we should have had the pre-conversation. I just thought you knew how this thing worked. The negotiating thing. Shit. That's my mistake. Yeah, okay. But I've learned sins. Yeah. But at the time, no, I was just like, I love it. Yes, you can have the money. Yes. Yeah. So. Is that not my money? You can have his money. No, no, It was so yeah, there was no discount. There was no money. He even tried to sell us a dog guard to go in it for an extra 200 Bound. I'm like the fucking dog's not going in it right so no, I don't need the No, no, it's fine. We don't need the dog god. Yeah, nobody came with it, but it's 200 about no no no no no no no keep the dog god You can't see right in muppet see it. So but anyway You know how you're sorry. I'm genuinely sorry, but you have to admit it's a really good car It's very hard, it's been very well looked after. But yes, potentially we could have probably got a couple of thousand off. I agree. Yes, yeah. Anyway. But as the old L'Oreal ad goes, I'm worth it. I heard one, I've never seen it, but people are giving a, you know where people get married and they have a list. This is our wedding list, which I think is utterly rude. I've got seven stories about that. but we need to hear them. But on that, but I've heard that for a birthday party, they're giving like a minimum donation or a list of presents or something. People, this is true. In London, please, by the way, we've got quite a few listeners in London writing and telling me that this is true, that they are invoicing parents for their part of the party, that their child has attended, even though they have no say in the plans, right? Yes, we're going to go and buy a Faberier egg I've got I'll invoice you tomorrow. Yeah, I know exactly right but then also then they they send out the birthday wish list Oh, here's what they want they want them they would like a I don't know char size Lamborghini and A an actual tele tubby or something Extraordinary right I mean I get embarrassed if my children Even dare ask anybody for anything. I don't care if it's water you will die of dehydration before you ask me that. - No, that's my treat. - No, no, no, no, I'm being... - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - Extremist, yeah. - Extremist. - Yeah, for the... - But no, but I agree this asking for stuff. - I'm totally gonna edit that out. - No, well. (laughing) But the asking, I just think it's a me. And the wedding stuff, I've never been... I've actually been invited to a wedding and then you've got a list and then you go down and it's like a John Lewis list. - Oh, I mean, many. - And as people buy shit off it, I think it's ridiculous. - I think it's really, and I'm not going to say any more because I want to be friends or whatever with these people still. But no, without us, well, again, this was back to your ex-wife, Ellie. We just felt it was appropriate and right. And as you know, to this day, I still think it was the best thing we could do. We asked for money to go towards with millions. - Yeah, we just said donations. So if you want to give us something, donate money to a miller. But if you don't, we are so happy just to have you there. Yeah, yeah, we're not. We chose to get married. It's not your job to spend money. It's how we look at it. On us, yeah, exactly. So if you want to donate, then-- And we had some really, really kind donations. Great. And that was amazing. So that feels quite good because to be honest-- No, it was good. I think it was over a thousand pounds. I think we were to donate, which I think is amazing. But actually, the value is it goes to my milling, which help people. - Yeah, would you first hand have support? - Which is fantastic. - So you have million nurses in the home? - Yes. - And what was that like? I imagine they're wonderful. - Oh, it's amazing. So it's really difficult, I mean, I like really difficult time. You can't put it into words how difficult it is. But actually having right from day one, I mean, million nurses, so they coordinate between the doctors and the surgeons and the oncologists, et cetera. And you, and you, that they're your point of contact. And they talk to you, or every time you go into the hospital, they're a point of contact that you can have a conversation with about whatever's going on, about the process and everything else. And they were just fantastic. I think just the support they give you, and you can contact them at any point, ask them questions. It was, it was amazing. Yeah, amazing. Yeah, just really amazing. Can I ask a really stupid question? Because I'll be wondering the same thing, or worried, because they're in a similar position. In terms of million nurses, is that something that, so the doctor will go, "I recommend this person, or do you get in touch with him?" - No, no, they just appear like magic. I mean, that was my take. - Oh, I was nervous. - So you, 'cause they know you're going through cancer treatment. So the million nurse, it just comes along. So they, you turn up, you first, and they come and sit in with you. Or even from the point of going, you're gonna be told the diagnosis where you are. They're in the room, so they can help you. So the consultant will say, this is the diagnosis, which is like life changing, right? Like, and his conversation was, you used to be on this train, you're now on this train, right? So it's a different journey. But they're there, from that point, all the way through. - Do you remember the name of? - I can't remember the name, I don't know why. - Oh, well, again, I think that's a part of survival, isn't it? - Yeah, yeah, yeah. But nobody loved us as the same. She was quite young actually, but the same girl was involved all the way through. So we got to meet her at the start and every time you're doing something. So what's this treatment? You could ask any question. Every time you went in for chemotherapy or you did anything. She was there. What's, you know, you could ask questions. - So they are actually, to be honest angels, I mean, if you're gonna spend your money, that's an amazing way to invest. - Absolutely, yes. - Or just, yeah, donate to Moemila and absolutely. - Well, of course, because since I've met you, of course I've heard so many stories now, and I got, I know you know, and I know everything that you've been through, and I have to say, I probably didn't have an appreciation of that, and I don't think you do until you're in that. - Until you've been through it. No, I know I think that's the same with every charity. Until you've actually been through something yourself, you don't actually realize the value that those charities offer, right? But actually just the manliness talking to the consultant, So it's really hard to get in contact with a consultant. But you could talk to the McMillan nurse 'cause she would answer the phone and emails, but she's always talking to the consultant. So she can represent you. So she becomes, you know, the McMillan nurse, just your point of contact in the hospital to talk to the consultant. It's, you know, they're fantastic. Yeah. Amazing, so amazing support. Yeah. Anyway, I will just say quickly with had an email male from Tim. Not Tim Lovejoy. Oh God I wish. We keep pestering him. Come on Tim answer us. No offense to that Tim. I'm sure this Tim is equally as lovely. If Tim Lovejoy are out there I'm here. I don't know why I suddenly went to Mystic Meg there. If that's anything to put a man off. Oh I'm him. Anyway Tim, he comes from Middlesbrough, says he loves the children's insight into the man reversing fast down the road in the last episode. Yeah yeah the fact that you don't marry them right? No. Well I think I said never marry a wanker. Never marry a wanker yeah. Which is true I've never married a wanker. I've been out with them. I've been married right now. So you're my first married. - Thank you. - Thank you. - You're no longer. - Thank you. - Thank you. - Thank you. - I'm all the segues in this. And then finally, we've got, who's that divina from Northumberland? She says Matt, oh, okay, I probably can't. If we read that out, actually. But it's to do with Matt Hancock. And he's, as you said, Matt Hancock. - Matt Hancock. - Okay. I'm not going to read the rest of your out, so I'm going to cost a wee shut down. Anyway, on that note, it's been lovely chatting. Lovely chatting, yes? I love you. Love you all. Love you all. Bye bye. [Music]
