Girly night out in Bourton-on-the-Water, talk of Arses, eggs, books and first detention
Have you ever seen a Lilliput house and do you own one? Hear about Charlie’s girly-night-away which involved the discovery of houses for borrowers; that Bourton is not in Cheltenham; and stamina levels. But more importantly, have you ever wondered if an ass can be an arse (which may be toff-level dependent). They discuss the eldest’s first detention as being the most perfect situation for any adult: a rest for ten minutes!

00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:09,000
Hello, welcome, I'm Charlie and this is my husband Andrew.
3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:10,000
Hello.
4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:16,000
Our podcast Funny Family is a one-stop shop to make you feel your family is actually normal.
5
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:23,000
Whatever normal may be, I cook, we parent and we most importantly survive the school playground.
6
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:24,000
Ish.
7
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:32,240
Hello and welcome to Funny Family. I'm Charlie. This is my husband Andrew. Hi
8
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:36,480
And we've had yet another funny week haven't we?
9
00:00:36,480 --> 00:00:40,480
Always we have a funny week. It's been actually yeah this one's
10
00:00:40,480 --> 00:00:47,680
I don't know the weather the children the um the conversations yeah oh and I had I had a
11
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:53,440
girly night out I actually stayed away girly night out on Saturday. I realised that time actually
12
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,440
I actually am 41 and not 21.
13
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,440
So how did that go then?
14
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,440
And where did you go first?
15
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:01,440
And who with?
16
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:07,440
Well, I went to Borton on the water with my two besties from school.
17
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:09,440
Absolutely fabulous.
18
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:13,440
We thought we were booking a place in Cheltenham, so that was a bit of a shock.
19
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:17,440
Because of course Borton on the water, well you know, because you grew up near there.
20
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:21,440
And by the way, I'm saying it's an absolutely charming place.
21
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:27,440
but it is brimming somewhat with tea shops with antiques in them.
22
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:32,940
It is a model village. You can you understand why Americans come over and go,
23
00:01:32,940 --> 00:01:36,440
this is Quaint, this is part of Disneyland because
24
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,440
Bournemouth itself is a model village.
25
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:45,440
Yes, well yes. It wasn't the urban metropolis we thought we were going to.
26
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,280
But the best thing is ever we had a we had a
27
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,880
Lunch in this
28
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:58,060
Yes again sort of antiquey tea place and at the very top where we were stuck. There were all these house models
29
00:01:58,060 --> 00:01:59,680
I
30
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,900
Shouldn't probably name the range but I'm going to and I'll probably be sued
31
00:02:02,900 --> 00:02:07,880
It was called the Lily pot range which I think is from the book the lily potions the little people
32
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:14,620
That's right. The little yes the little people so then we were being the crafts women that we are deciding how much
33
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:20,160
these things were worth, well we were, we weren't nowhere near. We're talking we
34
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:25,520
more gouging sort of level. I'm talking like something that's like five
35
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:33,100
centimeters across and deep, but honestly I think I don't know I think you'd
36
00:02:33,100 --> 00:02:39,040
either have to be in a constant state of an everation or blind to have to live
37
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:47,440
with that. Not expect any sponsorship from the person who wants it the time soon. No, no, no, no, but there
38
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:53,040
is these costs hundreds but they but I think bought on the water is like a model village but there
39
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:57,680
is a model village in bought on the water. Did you not go to the model village? I have been with
40
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:02,720
Charles. We walked past it. Yeah. And one of my friends said we are not going in
41
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:10,080
to which there wasn't much disagreement and there was another famous landmark slush site there.
42
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,520
The thing is I don't want to really bring them down because Baltimore is really pretty.
43
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:19,200
I just have to say that it's really, really pretty. It just wasn't quite Cheltenham but that being said,
44
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:24,000
we laugh like drains when we are together. We laughed and laughed and laughed and there was so
45
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:31,040
much to laugh at and so many people to laugh at and I mean the story of Santa, Nicky Harry Potter
46
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,240
is probably one for another day, but that's the sort of laughter.
47
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:38,400
Yeah, I did ask. It is one for another day. I think that one
48
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:43,600
definitely sounded seeming, but is the born on the water you were stopping in
49
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:47,840
Cheltenham? Is that like the airports where you've got, you know, the Oxford London Airport
50
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:53,840
and stand up? You know, there was talk of when H.S.2 goes in, Birmingham Airport can actually be
51
00:03:53,840 --> 00:04:00,080
called a London Airport because it's within 50 minutes of the city or something. So the
52
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:01,400
the definition, it's just nonsense.
53
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,640
So born on the water is Cheltenham.
54
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,400
But it's not, it's about 15 miles at the road.
55
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:06,240
But it's not.
56
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:07,080
It's not.
57
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:07,920
It's not.
58
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:08,920
It's not the water.
59
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:10,960
It's about as much Cheltenham as bloody Dundee is.
60
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:12,760
That's how bloody Cheltenham it is.
61
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:14,560
I can tell you what, I think, I mean,
62
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,520
they don't even have a set of traffic lights.
63
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:17,640
That tells you everything you needed
64
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,520
about living on the water.
65
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,720
But anyway, it was just lovely to be with my friends
66
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,560
and we did have a really, really good giggle.
67
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,760
But we definitely had that thing
68
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,320
and come sort of 10 o'clock where we just looked
69
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,560
like days for rabbits because we're just not used to A being up.
70
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:36,920
I mean it was joyous not having children around and no offense husbands as well.
71
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,120
But um, yeah you're welcome.
72
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:43,600
Um, but it's just that thing, the stamina's not there.
73
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:47,080
The stamina has gone and it is such a sad fact of life.
74
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:48,640
I was the first in bed.
75
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,160
That's pathetic isn't it?
76
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:51,160
Yes.
77
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:52,680
No, it's not.
78
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:53,680
No it's not.
79
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,560
Well look I was up at least three hours past my normal bed time.
80
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,360
- There you go, yes. - Be proud of that.
81
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,640
- But it was super fun, but--
82
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,080
- But the other way, I need another year
83
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:05,800
to get ready for the next one.
84
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:07,680
- The clubbing, you weren't missing the fact
85
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,840
that there wasn't a night club in Daughton on the water
86
00:05:09,840 --> 00:05:11,360
and you wanted to be in Cheltenham drinking
87
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:12,920
until three o'clock, that didn't--
88
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:14,400
- Well, no, although-- - You didn't miss that.
89
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,320
- Although, no, but I wouldn't say
90
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,000
I wouldn't push through if I had to.
91
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,440
(laughing)
92
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,440
Now the thing I want to ask you today,
93
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,160
because I think this is the question
94
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:26,960
that's playing on everybody's lips.
95
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,640
And this is something we've been debating
96
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,360
within our family family this week,
97
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,440
which is this, what is the difference
98
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:41,440
between a donkey and ass, a horse, mule and a hini?
99
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,600
And I am not describing anyone,
100
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,080
these are not groups of people we know.
101
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:51,480
- But this came from, we walked to school.
102
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,160
We have heard this from really a spoke class.
103
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:58,680
we do the water school and Bob, our board of terrier, has decided that when we go past the farm,
104
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:06,440
there's some horses. And he's decided that he's going to jump up on the wall and over,
105
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:10,440
you know, look at the horses and there's a road. So it's a bit dangerous, but he's decided that's
106
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:16,520
his thing. He's got a thing for horses now, apparently. And then Ari thought one of the horses was
107
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:21,320
the baby because it was a little horse and two big horses. So natural assumption, and we had to
108
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,820
to explain, no, no, this is actually a,
109
00:06:23,820 --> 00:06:24,660
- Shitty Shetland.
110
00:06:24,660 --> 00:06:26,540
- A shitty Shetland, tiny little set lamponing
111
00:06:26,540 --> 00:06:29,020
that can be a penny near us.
112
00:06:29,020 --> 00:06:30,260
I can't remember why I said,
113
00:06:30,260 --> 00:06:32,960
"Oh, I asked you a question, did you know?"
114
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:33,960
(laughing)
115
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:35,140
'Cause we played, did you know a lot?
116
00:06:35,140 --> 00:06:36,460
We'll probably go over that again.
117
00:06:36,460 --> 00:06:38,500
So, did you know that,
118
00:06:38,500 --> 00:06:39,340
oh yeah.
119
00:06:39,340 --> 00:06:44,340
- Basically, if a horse and a donkey
120
00:06:44,340 --> 00:06:50,720
reproduce the offspring are generally sterile.
121
00:06:50,720 --> 00:07:00,120
I mean, with that in mind and looking at the general world population, there should
122
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:04,120
be so many more sterile people.
123
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,680
But I didn't know why that was.
124
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,480
And I actually found out, well, I thought it was a mule.
125
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,640
If you have a horse and a donkey mate, it's a mule.
126
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:16,120
I understand there is a mule depending on which way round it is.
127
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,360
You have a mule or a hini, depending on which way round the mating goes.
128
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,680
I don't know, I'm not an expert on this.
129
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:22,760
Maybe I should have done more reading.
130
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:23,840
- Yes, by now, by the way.
131
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:25,840
- The fact I actually went and Googled some of this stuff,
132
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:27,920
right, my search history now has changed.
133
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:29,040
(laughing)
134
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:30,320
But I understand, I mean.
135
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:31,480
- The police will come, not me.
136
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,480
- Yeah, and also what is an ass?
137
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:39,120
- Well you, oh no, sorry, no, sorry, not you, that's right.
138
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:40,560
We practiced that, didn't we?
139
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,040
Sorry, right, not you, not you.
140
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:43,880
- Not me, yeah.
141
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:49,000
- No, you're just a pain in the, I do know,
142
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:50,000
I can't remember what you just said.
143
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:51,000
I think it's the same as a donkey.
144
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:52,000
It's the same as a donkey.
145
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:53,320
It's just another name.
146
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:54,920
So we used to call an ass.
147
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,240
In other parts of the world it was called an ass.
148
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,440
And in this kind of a word, it's a same thing.
149
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,640
I've always been so self-conscious of saying that word.
150
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:03,480
An ass.
151
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,560
Because I'm really rare.
152
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:06,880
Or I sound rare.
153
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,920
I don't think I've got the thinking of a rare person.
154
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,040
Well, in all aspects, I should say.
155
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:16,080
I always want to go, ass.
156
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,080
- Oh, I can't do it.
157
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:19,240
- You can't say that.
158
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:20,720
- Well, I did it at the beginning,
159
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,520
but I had to really concentrate.
160
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,280
So in my head, this bit should have read
161
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,280
donkey-ass horse mule and henny.
162
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:28,280
- Yes.
163
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:29,280
- So yeah, anyway.
164
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:33,280
- But anyway, it's apparently to do with chromosomes.
165
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:37,280
One has 62, the other one has 64 when they mute,
166
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,480
when they mate, not mutate, mate,
167
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,280
when they mate, they have 63 and it makes them sterile.
168
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:43,280
- It is kind of mutation.
169
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:44,440
- It is, you know,
170
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:45,440
It is kind of mutation.
171
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:51,700
It is, but also I will just say when we edit this I can give the audience timing so if
172
00:08:51,700 --> 00:08:55,680
they want to go off and make a cup of and come back when you finish that.
173
00:08:55,680 --> 00:08:57,180
Yeah, I think so.
174
00:08:57,180 --> 00:09:02,040
I'm actually talking about donkeys and horses, probably not why you joined it was more,
175
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:03,480
we want to talk about food.
176
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,440
I mean we want to talk about arses.
177
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:06,440
Arses.
178
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,440
Well, we want to, yeah well, I don't know, and welcome.
179
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:13,600
- And today we're gonna talk more about us.
180
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:14,760
Sorry, yes, go on.
181
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:16,120
- Yeah, say more about food.
182
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,000
I think what I just looked up,
183
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:19,800
and I think you put a picture on Instagram
184
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,640
that we now have an on air, sorry.
185
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:26,240
- I did, I put it on there, and I've deleted it,
186
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:27,800
and I'm gonna put it back on there.
187
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:29,280
And the reason I have deleted it
188
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,120
is because I have discovered that on Instagram,
189
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:34,080
you can't edit a photo once it's gone live.
190
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,160
You can edit the text, but not the photo.
191
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:40,240
And any of you keen eagle eye viewers out there
192
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:43,040
would have seen that there was a reflection of me
193
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,400
in the window of on air.
194
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:46,920
And that's just really bugged me.
195
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:47,920
So I'm afraid I've deleted it,
196
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,120
but I'm now going to go back and edit it so you get it.
197
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:51,920
- So we have the on air science.
198
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,080
So people that walk past your studio
199
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,640
in the on the path that goes past,
200
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:57,800
will now see that we're on air
201
00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:59,240
and hopefully we'll stay quiet.
202
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,960
- Though I will say that the O is somewhat hidden.
203
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:03,600
So they might just read Nair,
204
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:04,800
in which case they're gonna think
205
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:09,120
some sort of hair removal salon, but you know we go with what we have.
206
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,000
We do, we do. But I think it looks good and it's,
207
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,200
considering it's cold outside, it's actually quite warm in here but I think we're going to,
208
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:23,600
this, before we get to the food, we talked about ID DIY, right? So I do DIY. So this week's jobs were,
209
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:29,600
I had a big list this weekend, right? So Charlie was off with a friend. Yes, I, I,
210
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:34,320
that was a heavy hint, and I gave him that list. I had a list. So it wasn't even like written
211
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:40,800
on the chalkboard. No, it was copy. Here you go. Here's a list in text down. How many of
212
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:48,080
those things on that list did I do? Zero. Zero. So I know me, but I didn't. I went, we went
213
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:53,280
to Temping Bolly. I took the kids, dropped Charlie off one and we went to Cheltenham because
214
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:57,600
we were, and we thought, you know, we'll pick up Jack. We'll go Temping Bolly, so took
215
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:02,000
the kids to Temping Bolly. Assuming on a Saturday. He had Jack as my eldest. He lives in Cheltenham.
216
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,920
he's off, enjoying himself, working.
217
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:11,880
But yeah, took Finn, Ari, Roddry,
218
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:12,840
picked up Jack on the way.
219
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,160
We thought we'd go play Temp in bowling.
220
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:16,840
You could do a count number to count Park,
221
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:21,480
so we went to Gloucester, thinking it would be quite quiet.
222
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:25,120
We turned up at Temp in bowling in Gloucester at about 1 o'clock,
223
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:26,880
walked in there, absolutely rammed.
224
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,080
When's the next bowling available?
225
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,600
Well, the first answer was 6.30, and this is 1 o'clock.
226
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,400
And then somebody else said, no, no, you can get them in as a walk-in.
227
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:39,240
We thought, this is great. They've got some walk-in lanes. Yeah, that'll be four o'clock.
228
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:43,760
So I decided not to end up in bowling. So we went and did cluster keys.
229
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,640
It was very nice. We were going to go to cluster keys if you want to store a tank.
230
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:51,760
I don't think the kids are that impressed, but last time I went to Gloucester with you guys,
231
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,760
well, actually it was Finn's birthday party.
232
00:11:53,760 --> 00:12:01,320
And my parting or our parting gift or the gift we were given,
233
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:11,600
was COVID and I have to say that has somewhat, I don't know, dolled the excitement of
234
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:15,640
Gloucester but I will try it again because I know it's got lots of good stuff going on.
235
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:19,120
No, I, yes, yes.
236
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:24,360
But I did, so this week, so that weekend I did nothing. This week I put a heater in the
237
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:29,000
studio, we've had cold weather, it was getting a bit cold and damp so I've got a heater in
238
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,120
it doesn't really keep it warm, keeps the temperature off, but doesn't it keep it warm?
239
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,360
So a bit more work to do, I think, on the...
240
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:35,880
Okay, now give your timings on the...
241
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:37,400
On the DIY fact.
242
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:42,200
But anyway, if you want to see the photo of that, probably don't, I'm sure.
243
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,680
Yeah, but the long and short of it is it doesn't really do anything.
244
00:12:44,680 --> 00:12:49,080
And I need a different sort of heater now, which is what I've informed him.
245
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:50,840
And he started to have a discussion about it.
246
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,320
And I said, I don't have a discussion about it, I just want it.
247
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:57,080
Which tells you what he lives with.
248
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,080
Yeah, so more work to do.
249
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:00,080
Yes, anyway.
250
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:01,080
So going back to food.
251
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,080
So I think so there's a few things.
252
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:07,080
So I actually think the biggest thing you've done this week is
253
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:11,080
investing some literature.
254
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,080
Some literature.
255
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:14,080
I have.
256
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:15,080
I have invested it.
257
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,080
So we've talked before about one of my favourite films,
258
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:18,080
Julian Julia.
259
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:21,080
I've got Merrill Streep and it's Stanley T.
260
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,080
She loves eating.
261
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:26,080
Oh darling, but you're so good at it.
262
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:35,440
that one. Anyway, so the premise of the film is that a modern day blogger follows Julia Child's
263
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:41,520
sort of cooking efforts and works her way through her mastering French cooking cookbook.
264
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:49,200
And me being the idiot that I am have bought the same, I thought it would be a book, it's too
265
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:55,200
actually, two rather massive volumes of French cooking which I'm determined to work from the beginning
266
00:13:55,200 --> 00:14:03,120
to the very end and you, my friends, can watch me fail and hopefully occasionally succeed.
267
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:11,040
Yeah. And I flick through it and this is not your modern cookbook, right, with the technique. This is
268
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:16,960
technical, right? This is in detail explaining why and how and everything else. And as you look
269
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,960
through the recipes, there are things on there like a whole section on different ways to cook
270
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:24,960
So I'm really not looking forward to that section.
271
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,120
I may have to go away for a week with work
272
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,160
or something when you get to that.
273
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:30,800
So we will see what comes up.
274
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:31,800
But I'm--
275
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:33,800
Yeah, because obviously the kids would be so happy.
276
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:35,520
Yeah, then, yeah, anyway.
277
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:36,320
They get what they give me.
278
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:37,960
Well, if you roll it in bread crumbs,
279
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,080
can you say it's like a chicken nugget?
280
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:40,920
Well, we'll find out.
281
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:41,680
We'll find out.
282
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:42,560
Well, we'll find out.
283
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:44,720
But then as though that's not bad enough,
284
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:48,640
I then also buy what I can only describe as in InverterComes,
285
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:50,640
the Bible of cooking techniques.
286
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:55,140
And it basically describes to you why you implement
287
00:14:55,140 --> 00:14:57,140
all these different methods when you're cooking.
288
00:14:57,140 --> 00:15:01,620
I'll have to send a picture of that out on Instagram
289
00:15:01,620 --> 00:15:03,780
'cause I can't remember the guy's name at the moment.
290
00:15:03,780 --> 00:15:05,660
It's something very sexy Mexican name.
291
00:15:05,660 --> 00:15:11,020
And yes, it is a bowl, it is a beast, isn't it?
292
00:15:11,020 --> 00:15:13,720
- But that goes back to you when you were making your
293
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:15,180
consummate. - Yeah.
294
00:15:15,180 --> 00:15:17,540
- And you did the egg white to create a float.
295
00:15:17,540 --> 00:15:19,080
This is techniques. - Last.
296
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:21,440
- The rafts are a real flow, sorry.
297
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,520
- Yeah, floats the whole other stream.
298
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:24,520
But yeah, I raft, right?
299
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:25,720
So you would do a raft, but this--
300
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:27,080
- That's what you had after you ate it.
301
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:27,920
- Yes, I do.
302
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:29,840
(laughing)
303
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:30,680
- It's not flushing.
304
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,680
(laughing)
305
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:34,680
- Yes, a raft.
306
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:35,520
- Yeah.
307
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:36,600
- But it's about that technique
308
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:37,440
and how do you do it?
309
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:38,280
What'd you do at the time?
310
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:39,280
- Yeah, and in the book on writing,
311
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:43,440
I tried to, I'm trying to put in the odd technique
312
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,600
that might help you with the recipe that's dead easy,
313
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:51,600
But I always think it kind of helps if you understand why you're doing it.
314
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:55,600
Because otherwise it's like, okay, well, that's just another ingredient, surely.
315
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:56,900
I don't really understand.
316
00:15:56,900 --> 00:16:00,200
So something I do with my posh poached eggs, as I call it,
317
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,400
because I was okay back to being very rare.
318
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:08,200
My posh poached eggs for everybody and there are osses.
319
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,900
And this is how you normally talk.
320
00:16:11,900 --> 00:16:13,000
I know how to talk like this.
321
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,900
Actually, I'm doing incredibly well to be the common man, in fact.
322
00:16:15,900 --> 00:16:25,980
Yes, well because I was watching yet another cooking program and John Taroed, bless him, was explaining why he put creme fresh in the post-day in the
323
00:16:25,980 --> 00:16:37,500
post-day, the scrambled eggs, sorry, and it suddenly made sense and clicked into place and you have to admit my scrambled eggs have now gone from, I would say, a two out of ten to...
324
00:16:37,500 --> 00:16:44,220
I think at eight, nine, yeah, they're fabulous. They actually have gone a bit posh and, oh yeah, they're calorific, absolutely.
325
00:16:44,220 --> 00:16:46,820
but oh my god, fantastic.
326
00:16:46,820 --> 00:16:49,820
So, but that's all because of this one little trick.
327
00:16:49,820 --> 00:16:51,140
So, so that's what I'm doing.
328
00:16:51,140 --> 00:16:53,660
So I'm, I'm assessing over judy child
329
00:16:53,660 --> 00:16:56,300
and this sexy Mexican person,
330
00:16:56,300 --> 00:16:58,460
it's probably not Mexican at all.
331
00:16:58,460 --> 00:16:59,460
I've said that now,
332
00:16:59,460 --> 00:17:01,300
but in my head he will always now be the sexy Mexican.
333
00:17:01,300 --> 00:17:02,340
- So, when I've been boring
334
00:17:02,340 --> 00:17:04,860
and then you either post about why you did this
335
00:17:04,860 --> 00:17:05,780
or what is it, right?
336
00:17:05,780 --> 00:17:08,700
And you're putting, what was, why is creme fresh?
337
00:17:08,700 --> 00:17:10,300
'Cause I always made scrambled egg
338
00:17:10,300 --> 00:17:12,460
and I always put milk in my scrambled egg.
339
00:17:12,460 --> 00:17:17,660
And then any came out okay, it was salt, pepper, milk, mixed it around and it came out okay but took a bit of time to cook.
340
00:17:17,660 --> 00:17:19,180
So why is creme fraiche?
341
00:17:19,180 --> 00:17:29,300
So creme fraiche, using creme fraiche or cream or anything like that that's not milk but a dairy in your scrambled eggs.
342
00:17:29,300 --> 00:17:32,380
So yeah, as I say, not the milk.
343
00:17:32,380 --> 00:17:37,020
It's because it's already stabilised as a substance.
344
00:17:37,020 --> 00:17:43,420
It is not fighting for its place to essentially become the prominent ingredients.
345
00:17:43,420 --> 00:17:45,340
It's just working with the eggs.
346
00:17:45,340 --> 00:17:47,980
Right. So it just makes it easier to pull it together and...
347
00:17:47,980 --> 00:17:52,140
Yeah, and another thing people do is they tend to add salt to the scrambled eggs without tasting it,
348
00:17:52,140 --> 00:17:55,900
obviously. So you can't taste it to the end. But of course you're using butter.
349
00:17:55,900 --> 00:18:01,820
Now there is salt in butter, even unsalted butter, there's a certain amount of salt, of course.
350
00:18:01,820 --> 00:18:05,900
So best to wait to the end, taste it, then add your salt.
351
00:18:05,900 --> 00:18:11,260
and also the salt can affect, God I sound like a real ball, I bored myself there. I'm going to
352
00:18:11,260 --> 00:18:16,140
I'm going to dot dot dot dot that one but yeah that's who I'm turning into, I'm turning into a
353
00:18:16,140 --> 00:18:21,180
cooking nerd. No, it's great but it's fat right and you but you said before you couldn't do
354
00:18:21,180 --> 00:18:25,180
scrambled egg right and you practiced and you've done it and you've got this technique which you
355
00:18:25,180 --> 00:18:29,420
picked up from Marcia and and actually the scrambled eggs are fabulous so I that was a master chef
356
00:18:29,420 --> 00:18:35,820
I'm going to give a little plug actually this that was John Elise's is it Saturday kitsch
357
00:18:35,820 --> 00:18:41,020
I think, I don't know, there's always either Satil Sunday isn't it, but I think it was Saturday
358
00:18:41,020 --> 00:18:49,420
on ITV and I think they're actually really sweet together in the kitchen and they maybe want to watch and it's very family friendly and I like that.
359
00:18:49,420 --> 00:18:52,220
So it was on that one actually. - Okay, there you go. - Yeah.
360
00:18:52,220 --> 00:18:53,220
- Family? - Yeah.
361
00:18:53,220 --> 00:19:01,220
- Yeah, so, but food wise on the food. So you've got your books, I mean, I'm waiting for the tribe and there are other things in there that I would prefer to be cooked.
362
00:19:01,220 --> 00:19:03,820
- Sales, yeah. - But you'll get to them, I'm sure.
363
00:19:03,820 --> 00:19:07,260
What food did you cook this week?
364
00:19:07,260 --> 00:19:09,020
Which recipes have you done?
365
00:19:09,020 --> 00:19:12,140
So there's one I think I had which was the salad you did
366
00:19:12,140 --> 00:19:13,580
which I thought was fabulous.
367
00:19:13,580 --> 00:19:17,860
So I have to admit that this Charlie's obsession now
368
00:19:17,860 --> 00:19:20,180
with cooking, not obsession, yeah it is obsession,
369
00:19:20,180 --> 00:19:22,420
with cooking, actually, and doing a book and everything.
370
00:19:22,420 --> 00:19:25,420
I think it's fabulous 'cause I'm lucky
371
00:19:25,420 --> 00:19:26,700
that I get to work from home.
372
00:19:26,700 --> 00:19:29,980
So I'm in the office, I tend to lock myself away.
373
00:19:29,980 --> 00:19:31,820
I basically bore people.
374
00:19:31,820 --> 00:19:33,580
- He really does lock himself away.
375
00:19:33,580 --> 00:19:34,920
- I'm here as well.
376
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,180
- Yeah, I tend to call people stupid,
377
00:19:37,180 --> 00:19:40,420
either on meetings, talking nonsense,
378
00:19:40,420 --> 00:19:43,340
or I'm writing documents or reading or reviewing some stuff.
379
00:19:43,340 --> 00:19:45,060
So I tend to fit my self-mouse office,
380
00:19:45,060 --> 00:19:49,020
but I get to come out for lunch and it's good, right?
381
00:19:49,020 --> 00:19:50,620
You know, you gotta leave your office,
382
00:19:50,620 --> 00:19:52,260
stand up, walk around, do some exercise,
383
00:19:52,260 --> 00:19:54,700
but actually go and take some time off to go for lunch.
384
00:19:54,700 --> 00:19:58,420
So I get to come for lunch and Charlie cooks me lunch every day.
385
00:19:58,420 --> 00:19:59,860
So it's actually pretty amazing.
386
00:19:59,860 --> 00:20:01,420
- Not every day.
387
00:20:01,420 --> 00:20:02,660
- Nearly every day.
388
00:20:02,660 --> 00:20:04,900
- Well, I've late because I've decided to go down
389
00:20:04,900 --> 00:20:05,980
this barmy path.
390
00:20:05,980 --> 00:20:06,980
- Exactly, you're all that.
391
00:20:06,980 --> 00:20:07,820
- Before that, I think.
392
00:20:07,820 --> 00:20:08,820
- No, no, no, no, no.
393
00:20:08,820 --> 00:20:10,860
But now, in your obsession,
394
00:20:10,860 --> 00:20:12,780
actually you're trying something, you're doing something.
395
00:20:12,780 --> 00:20:16,740
So this week, the salad we've had was fabulous.
396
00:20:16,740 --> 00:20:18,420
I think it was, do you wanna talk about what you did
397
00:20:18,420 --> 00:20:19,940
in your salad or?
398
00:20:19,940 --> 00:20:22,380
- Well, I'll post a picture of it on Instagram.
399
00:20:22,380 --> 00:20:24,180
I have to keep saying that because the visual,
400
00:20:24,180 --> 00:20:25,420
I think, is always so important
401
00:20:25,420 --> 00:20:27,180
to long-sides what we're talking about.
402
00:20:27,180 --> 00:20:29,820
But no, I was just using up chicken
403
00:20:29,820 --> 00:20:31,820
that we had left over, wasn't I?
404
00:20:31,820 --> 00:20:36,820
We had red onion in there and I did a poached egg on top.
405
00:20:36,820 --> 00:20:37,820
- Yeah, I think that was it.
406
00:20:37,820 --> 00:20:40,220
The poached egg, you cut the egg.
407
00:20:40,220 --> 00:20:42,340
So do you do anything with egg?
408
00:20:42,340 --> 00:20:43,980
So you keep telling me you've got a trick.
409
00:20:43,980 --> 00:20:46,020
So I always thought I was really good at poached eggs.
410
00:20:46,020 --> 00:20:47,300
So I do cook.
411
00:20:47,300 --> 00:20:48,140
- What you are, darling?
412
00:20:48,140 --> 00:20:51,340
- And I do poached eggs and I've got my technique
413
00:20:51,340 --> 00:20:54,500
and my frying pan and I leave them and I don't stir it.
414
00:20:54,500 --> 00:20:55,460
And they sort of come out,
415
00:20:55,460 --> 00:20:57,260
oh they're a bit, they come out okay,
416
00:20:57,260 --> 00:20:59,340
they're really nice and they runny eggs.
417
00:20:59,340 --> 00:21:00,660
And if you use a decent egg, it's good.
418
00:21:00,660 --> 00:21:02,240
but you've got a technique,
419
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:03,880
but are you gonna tell us what your technique is
420
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:04,880
in post-ex?
421
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:05,880
Or not?
422
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:09,320
- I am going to tell you in the book,
423
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:10,720
but I'm not gonna tell you now.
424
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:11,800
- Okay.
425
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:13,760
- It's not to say I came up with this technique,
426
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,520
I watched another famous famous chef do this technique
427
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,200
and I thought, oh, I think I could handle that one,
428
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:24,360
because otherwise I find what you have is this large vat
429
00:21:24,360 --> 00:21:27,520
of hot water and then people put vinegar in,
430
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:30,200
which I know I get it back to the technique thing.
431
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:36,200
It holds the egg together, but sometimes you put so much vinegar in it, you've come out like a fish and chip shop.
432
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,200
I don't do that.
433
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,200
He does.
434
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,200
And...
435
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:48,200
But the point is, it's actually quite hard, I think, to keep fats together.
436
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:54,200
Like you said, you need fresh eggs, you need good eggs, you need all of that, exit room temperature.
437
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:58,040
But no, I've broken it down, literally, obviously.
438
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,040
Take, I have cracked the shell.
439
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,880
And I've come up with a trick.
440
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:07,680
It's not 100%, but it's more successful than not.
441
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:08,680
- Yeah, no, I love it.
442
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,760
And actually, what I like, and when I do my eggs,
443
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,520
the same with brain sizes, is actually getting a poke
444
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:16,840
seg that's cooked, the whites cooked on the outside,
445
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:18,560
but you get the runny yolk.
446
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:20,440
And every time you watch MasterChef,
447
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:22,000
whether they're doing it in the middle of a scotch
448
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:22,840
- So poor, yeah.
449
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:24,420
- Or in a Ravio-Lo.
450
00:22:24,420 --> 00:22:25,260
Is it a Ravio-Lo?
451
00:22:25,260 --> 00:22:26,100
- Ravio-Lo, yeah.
452
00:22:26,100 --> 00:22:26,980
- Ravio-Lo, never do other than before,
453
00:22:26,980 --> 00:22:28,580
but again, the egg in the middle,
454
00:22:28,580 --> 00:22:30,340
is the, the, the,
455
00:22:30,340 --> 00:22:31,580
the umptuous bit you get from it.
456
00:22:31,580 --> 00:22:33,940
So actually being able to learn how to cook eggs,
457
00:22:33,940 --> 00:22:35,420
I think is really important.
458
00:22:35,420 --> 00:22:36,260
- Yeah.
459
00:22:36,260 --> 00:22:37,900
- And just, and but actually,
460
00:22:37,900 --> 00:22:39,100
if you can get them,
461
00:22:39,100 --> 00:22:40,540
that's the other question, right?
462
00:22:40,540 --> 00:22:41,980
If you can get eggs, I think, you know,
463
00:22:41,980 --> 00:22:42,820
with the bird flu, I mean,
464
00:22:42,820 --> 00:22:44,420
how many times have we been online,
465
00:22:44,420 --> 00:22:45,940
oh, not me, sorry.
466
00:22:45,940 --> 00:22:47,180
How many times have you gone online
467
00:22:47,180 --> 00:22:48,540
and come and gone, they've run out.
468
00:22:48,540 --> 00:22:49,380
We have no eggs.
469
00:22:49,380 --> 00:22:55,140
Well, no, quite a few, but the thing I do, here's my little helpful hint everybody, what
470
00:22:55,140 --> 00:23:00,660
you do is you send your husband off to shops, not one shop, you send them off to multiple
471
00:23:00,660 --> 00:23:05,020
shops and you get them to buy eggs in every shop.
472
00:23:05,020 --> 00:23:06,340
I know, bad, right?
473
00:23:06,340 --> 00:23:11,980
I'm sure someone will write in and tell me that's not how rationing works, agreed, but
474
00:23:11,980 --> 00:23:15,260
we all saw what happened in the pandemic with Lou Roll and Pastor.
475
00:23:15,260 --> 00:23:21,100
So I don't think I'd be the first one to go and try and find all the eggs in the land.
476
00:23:21,100 --> 00:23:26,020
So yeah, but the shortage of eggs because I've got a session with eggs.
477
00:23:26,020 --> 00:23:31,980
I eat at least, people are going to be like, oh my god, but I eat at least four or six
478
00:23:31,980 --> 00:23:34,780
hardboard eggs a day, don't I?
479
00:23:34,780 --> 00:23:36,100
You do, yeah, which team is it excess?
480
00:23:36,100 --> 00:23:40,620
Well somehow I have to keep this trim for good.
481
00:23:40,620 --> 00:23:41,460
- I can't my Instagram.
482
00:23:41,460 --> 00:23:43,300
- Instagram is a real night.
483
00:23:43,300 --> 00:23:45,060
(laughing)
484
00:23:45,060 --> 00:23:46,220
- You look good.
485
00:23:46,220 --> 00:23:47,060
- You're so sweet.
486
00:23:47,060 --> 00:23:47,900
- You look really good.
487
00:23:47,900 --> 00:23:48,740
- I'll say that.
488
00:23:48,740 --> 00:23:50,780
- Yeah.
489
00:23:50,780 --> 00:23:51,620
- But no, but I think the food,
490
00:23:51,620 --> 00:23:53,140
I think in your salad, you made a vinegarette as well.
491
00:23:53,140 --> 00:23:53,980
- I did.
492
00:23:53,980 --> 00:23:55,900
- Which is the other bit that I think is,
493
00:23:55,900 --> 00:23:56,740
you can buy a salad.
494
00:23:56,740 --> 00:23:59,340
I mean, if you want, you can buy salad dressing.
495
00:23:59,340 --> 00:24:00,900
So a lot to this thing that you create,
496
00:24:00,900 --> 00:24:03,140
like a condomay you made, you can buy,
497
00:24:03,140 --> 00:24:04,460
and you can buy your own vinegarette.
498
00:24:04,460 --> 00:24:05,660
But actually you did your own vinegarette,
499
00:24:05,660 --> 00:24:06,980
which I thought was amazing.
500
00:24:06,980 --> 00:24:08,700
- And the vinegarette is dead easy.
501
00:24:08,700 --> 00:24:12,140
And normally I use a whole grain mustard, right?
502
00:24:12,140 --> 00:24:15,380
So that's a much milder taste, still tasty,
503
00:24:15,380 --> 00:24:16,380
but milder.
504
00:24:16,380 --> 00:24:19,180
But you just use olive oil or balsamic vinegar,
505
00:24:19,180 --> 00:24:22,700
a mustard and some honey.
506
00:24:22,700 --> 00:24:26,500
And then if you want even more slightly more syrup
507
00:24:26,500 --> 00:24:30,220
even now, I use just like a dark muscovado sugar
508
00:24:30,220 --> 00:24:31,980
and just stir it all in together
509
00:24:31,980 --> 00:24:33,900
until you get the balance that you like.
510
00:24:33,900 --> 00:24:36,020
But I use a Dijon mustard in this one.
511
00:24:36,020 --> 00:24:38,380
And I think it had a really nice fireiness to it.
512
00:24:38,380 --> 00:24:40,260
I sound like a boy, I really do, don't I?
513
00:24:40,260 --> 00:24:41,780
- No, you're not at all, I mean.
514
00:24:41,780 --> 00:24:42,780
- It's someone listening somewhere.
515
00:24:42,780 --> 00:24:45,260
- This is what I think is part of podcasts, right?
516
00:24:45,260 --> 00:24:47,260
We talk about food, time, and things.
517
00:24:47,260 --> 00:24:48,260
- Only for a love eating.
518
00:24:48,260 --> 00:24:52,500
But I think, I think, I think I know, thank you, darling.
519
00:24:52,500 --> 00:24:56,060
And they did just really work so well, didn't it?
520
00:24:56,060 --> 00:24:57,940
With that egg and the red onion.
521
00:24:57,940 --> 00:25:01,460
And that was actually like a really good invention test.
522
00:25:01,460 --> 00:25:03,940
- So good, you've invented test, that's a good one,
523
00:25:03,940 --> 00:25:05,340
you've said that, 'cause I think you've done that
524
00:25:05,340 --> 00:25:07,420
a few times where you've, - Love it.
525
00:25:07,420 --> 00:25:08,960
- You've basically just gone, and well, I actually
526
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,240
it's different, so we've done a couple of things,
527
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:14,920
'cause one is you just set yourself a time,
528
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:18,320
in order to do this adventure test,
529
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:19,680
where you actually just say,
530
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:20,520
- Got 10 minutes of it.
531
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:21,680
- I've got 10 minutes of it, so I'm gonna go back.
532
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:23,440
The other one you've done is, rather than you doing
533
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:24,640
the online shopping, you're just going,
534
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:26,080
I go to the supermarket and shop,
535
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:29,640
and I basically just go back, and I walk around and go,
536
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,080
well, I'm gonna put a Sweden,
537
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,160
or we get some Celery alcohol, maybe we'll get some
538
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,200
overgreens, or-- - He's got all sorts of stuff back.
539
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,740
- Just, but, and I walk around and I have no idea
540
00:25:38,740 --> 00:25:40,280
'cause normally when I went shopping,
541
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,240
if I went shopping for, I'd get a,
542
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:45,080
I'm a bore, right, when it comes to recipes
543
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:46,760
'cause I'll sit there and look at the recipe book
544
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:48,600
and I'll go, right, I need all these things,
545
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,080
I'll write them down, I buy exactly what's on there.
546
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:55,280
600 grams of minced beef and onion and a chili,
547
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:56,560
and I buy them all.
548
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,560
- It really throws in when he can only get 500 grams
549
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:01,200
or a kilogram.
550
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:02,800
- Yeah, yeah. - Joke, no, yeah.
551
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,200
- And I do adjust this, yeah, not yet.
552
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:06,640
but I followed all where it's now.
553
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:08,440
I go around, I'm not even thinking of the food.
554
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:11,160
I just go around and go, actually this looks nice.
555
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:12,680
I'm gonna buy this, this looks nice,
556
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:14,680
which I think is actually how people,
557
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:15,560
years ago used to do.
558
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:17,840
You go to the market, what's on offer,
559
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,600
what's fresh, buy the current food and take it.
560
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:21,920
So I challenge Charlie every time.
561
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:22,760
It says no idea.
562
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:24,000
- Although the joke of it is,
563
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:25,760
we're still arguing about whether the thing
564
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:29,160
I did last week was made with Slayeriac or...
565
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:30,000
- Sweet.
566
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:30,840
- A sweet.
567
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:32,800
- I believe it was a sweet, I believe it was Slayeriac.
568
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:34,120
- But anyway, we should tell the difference.
569
00:26:34,120 --> 00:26:34,960
- I wish you never know.
570
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:38,960
Yes, I should be able to tell the difference.
571
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:39,960
Oh, wow.
572
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:41,960
Yes, but anyway.
573
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:48,960
But moving off of food, I think food is fabulous, but I think we do talk about children.
574
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,960
And actually the last week, there's been a...
575
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:56,960
So this podcast will probably come out a little bit out of step with where we are, right?
576
00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:00,960
Because this is our first series, we're trying to get used to recording it.
577
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:09,040
we might be a little bit, but we had strike days. We had a strike day, we did, in which I thought
578
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:15,440
I would personally pay the teachers to come back on duty because it started off quite well,
579
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:22,880
and then what actually happened is our elders had a breakdown of sorts because he just does,
580
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:28,720
he just feels the pressure of everything really, and so there was that side of it,
581
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:33,280
And then the little ones they hadn't had any work set,
582
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,560
which, you know, being the fantastic mother I am,
583
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:38,760
I naturally turned my head to the tablets
584
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:40,120
and went, there you go darling.
585
00:27:40,120 --> 00:27:41,960
And I was thinking that would do six hours.
586
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:43,560
Now I'm joking before anyone says,
587
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:46,160
but anyway, it didn't.
588
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:47,960
They drove me insane and it was me
589
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:49,880
who was rocking in the corner by the end of the day
590
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:51,560
and they were absolutely fine.
591
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:52,760
So...
592
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:53,600
- But obviously I had...
593
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:55,320
- I would personally put in a teacher's to call that.
594
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:56,640
- But obviously I was home working,
595
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:58,680
so I was in my office, came out for lunch,
596
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:00,840
went back in the office, came out at about five o'clock.
597
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,080
- You had a lot of meetings that day.
598
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:03,920
- A lot of meetings that day.
599
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:05,720
- And I do work with people in America occasionally.
600
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:10,040
So, often he goes late, late, when you come, yes.
601
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:11,280
- Yeah.
602
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,320
- Apparently that Wednesday during the strike,
603
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:14,400
a lot of meetings.
604
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:15,240
- Yes.
605
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:16,320
- Fascinating.
606
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:17,480
- Yeah.
607
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,120
- Anyway, yeah, so strike day that happened.
608
00:28:20,120 --> 00:28:23,000
- And then also we had our eldest last week
609
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,880
got his first attention and bless him actually.
610
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,320
He came back and he was so upset.
611
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:33,680
like bawling his eyes out. Again, Andrew's in a meeting every time children walk through
612
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:40,520
doors. So it's me who has to do the first bit of Shriaj and he was really upset. I thought,
613
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:47,280
oh my god, what's he done? What's being done to him? I've got my first attention. Now,
614
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:51,360
you want to be more serious as a parent, but there's a part of me that's like, oh, it's
615
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:54,080
that it. But then I'll cause that to find out what it was because I thought, well, if he's
616
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:57,120
punched someone, then that is quite serious. Well, if he's next money off a teacher, then
617
00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:03,620
I'm doomed. And anyway, it does turned out he did the normal thing. He was talking in
618
00:29:03,620 --> 00:29:07,260
a lesson. His teacher told him to zip it. He was quite surprised. They actually said
619
00:29:07,260 --> 00:29:10,360
the word zip it. I was like, "Oh, I thought that was quite miles." When I was a teacher,
620
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:14,360
I would have said... Shut the fuck up. I wasn't quite that far.
621
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,400
No, you wouldn't, but the teacher would have gone.
622
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,840
But you would be... Philips, shut the fuck up. I would have been the client.
623
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:21,600
No, I'm talking about when I was a teacher.
624
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:23,200
Oh, sorry, yeah, sorry. Yeah, okay.
625
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:26,000
- But yeah, Sipit is my old, it's what I'm saying.
626
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:27,500
- Yes, yes, yes.
627
00:29:27,500 --> 00:29:29,160
- But anyway, so then I'm like,
628
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:31,360
oh my god, so what's this detention thinking
629
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:34,040
that he's gonna have to stay behind after school,
630
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:35,360
which I think by the way,
631
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:38,320
and you'll get more people writing in over this as well.
632
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:42,040
I think A, quite right, B, life is not harsh enough
633
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:43,560
on some of these kids sometimes.
634
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,520
C, no, you don't have rights, bugger off.
635
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:48,120
So with that in mind, I was like,
636
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:49,800
oh, okay, well, you know, fair enough,
637
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:51,360
you know, you've been talking in class,
638
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:52,480
you need to stay at the end of school.
639
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:57,200
not at the end of school. What do you mean it's not at the end of school? I said lunchtime.
640
00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:00,880
What do you mean it's a lunchtime? You're already at school. How does that impact you?
641
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:05,360
Oh well it must be like the whole of your lunchtime. Do you have to go and do lines or something
642
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:10,480
like that? No. I just go and sit with my teacher. What do you mean just sit with them? Don't you
643
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:19,120
like do something? No I just sit there. Right? For how long? 10 minutes? 10 soding minutes.
644
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:23,760
I get, I actually get, because I'm at work,
645
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:26,360
I get these health and safety things like about things,
646
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:28,120
and I actually get emails coming through saying
647
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:31,200
that I should take 10 minutes as part of my mindfulness
648
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:34,360
and my wellbeing to sit and not talk to anybody
649
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:35,400
and not do anything.
650
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:38,560
So at school, detention, what is detention?
651
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:40,640
Yes, take 10 minutes of mindfulness
652
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,360
in order to recover and get used to it
653
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:44,640
and take them by yourself.
654
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:46,840
I mean, Christ, I mean, that's like perfect.
655
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:48,400
- Every parent, every parent, every parent,
656
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:53,600
going, "If only I could have 10 minutes on my own when no one talks to me."
657
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:58,000
It's like, I keep saying to you, if you think that someone's gone wrong in our relationship,
658
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:02,880
just say, you need to just go to bed and go to sleep now and I'll be like, "Okay."
659
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:10,480
So yeah, I do think the the detention bit used to be harder than it is now.
660
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:12,480
Well, maybe it made-
661
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:14,720
Okay, for back at Caning, don't forget.
662
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:15,560
- Yeah, I agree.
663
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:18,920
- We are a bit older than some of the others in the playground.
664
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,760
But also we are of a different generation.
665
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:23,240
- I don't think I had keen in my side.
666
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:24,400
I think I missed it.
667
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:25,480
I did miss it as well.
668
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:26,320
There was no physical.
669
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:29,320
- I missed it, but I missed it literally by a month.
670
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:32,720
As in, I went to what was a boy's school,
671
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:36,960
then it turned co-ed the same time I went there.
672
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:38,800
And as it also turned co-ed,
673
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:42,800
they, I think the law had been that you couldn't cane anymore.
674
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,200
but they have been caning up until that July.
675
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:46,200
- Yes, yes.
676
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:47,680
- Not that we can donate caning.
677
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:49,720
- Oh, sorry, no, got it.
678
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:50,880
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
679
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:52,160
- Yeah, just be a pure children.
680
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:53,320
- Can't put it up, bring it back up.
681
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:56,560
- Absolutely not, but I would say I do think
682
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:59,400
my personal opinion, and this is my opinion,
683
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:01,320
is we at yes.
684
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:04,840
- We are, I think it's a bit, I think we've gone too far,
685
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:07,720
and I think this whole children have got rights.
686
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:09,600
I get it, right, and you don't want any new one,
687
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:12,280
but there needs to be some bound to some structure, right?
688
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:16,240
And they actually prefer that where there is discipline,
689
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,400
and structure, and I think we got a bit of trouble.
690
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:20,840
- Well, as long as there's love and consistency,
691
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:23,920
discipline goes hand in hand with that.
692
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,160
Of course, if you're just a horrific parent,
693
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:27,520
you're just a horrific parent, right?
694
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:30,680
And there's no excuse for that either.
695
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:32,920
So I'm just saying, you know,
696
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:36,280
yeah, children need a bit of guidance.
697
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:37,200
They don't know.
698
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:38,600
None of us knew when we came out.
699
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:39,440
I still don't know.
700
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:41,560
I'm 41 and haven't got a freaking clue.
701
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:43,240
So I'm still making it up every day,
702
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,120
but you know what I'm now older and can dictate
703
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:46,360
to someone else.
704
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:47,360
Joy, okay.
705
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:52,040
- Yes, so how was health this week?
706
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:54,560
(laughing)
707
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:55,400
- How was health?
708
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:56,800
- I like it, how was health?
709
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:57,640
- I was health.
710
00:32:57,640 --> 00:32:59,680
- This is me doing a dada dada dada
711
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:01,680
and we segue into another season.
712
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:02,520
- Yeah.
713
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:03,360
- I've done it.
714
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:04,520
- I'm, yeah, it's dada dada dada.
715
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:06,360
Blah blah blah blah, I can literally tell you.
716
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:07,880
- And health dada dada dada.
717
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:09,040
- Dada dada.
718
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:12,560
But yeah, no, I agree with you on the children front.
719
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:14,720
I think, I do agree, I think they need to be--
720
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:16,600
- I would go back to children.
721
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:17,440
We go back to children.
722
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:18,280
- We go back to children.
723
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:19,120
Yeah, there was--
724
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:20,320
- It's seg white in work, don't you worry,
725
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:21,080
the next ones coming out of that.
726
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:22,080
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
727
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:22,920
Maybe I'll just leave that in
728
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:24,600
'cause he really tell crap, I have a good,
729
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:25,440
I said.
730
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:26,600
(laughing)
731
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:29,600
- I don't know if it took the audience that much to realize.
732
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:31,960
(laughing)
733
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:35,440
- So, we have a difference of opinion
734
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:38,880
on what level of health you get
735
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:45,600
from the health service. I did say on the last one that I've gone through some times
736
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:50,200
and so on. So my health, I'm generally relatively fit.
737
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:53,640
Don't say I'm like an old man, just so I just need to put that out there now.
738
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:58,560
No, no, no, no, no, no, just trying to make it because we could lose listeners really fast.
739
00:33:58,560 --> 00:33:59,560
Oh, what if I'm an old man?
740
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:03,160
Because if they need to listen to an old man in a surgery, they'll just go to a surgery.
741
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:05,320
They'll go to a surgery, yeah, yeah, sorry, no, that's not all that.
742
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:10,320
So I had a bit of a scare last year, early September,
743
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:12,880
where I came back and it turns out
744
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:14,840
that I had what they call a TI-A.
745
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:16,000
We came back from France.
746
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:17,960
- Okay, I thought we just had to contextualize that.
747
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:20,040
It came back, it sounds like you came back from the dead.
748
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:21,840
- We did that way, yeah, yeah, yeah.
749
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:25,240
- Yeah, so I had, what ultimately was,
750
00:34:25,240 --> 00:34:26,080
are they having a verb?
751
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:26,920
'Cause they can't confirm it,
752
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:27,840
'cause they couldn't find anything,
753
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:29,720
but they think it was a TI-A,
754
00:34:29,720 --> 00:34:31,480
which basically is a mini stroke.
755
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:34,520
So a mini stroke is a blood clot
756
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:36,640
that goes into your brain or your eye.
757
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:40,680
In my case, it went into my eye and I lost vision in one eye.
758
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:44,800
And I went through the OSHIT and I went up to you.
759
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:47,000
You were in bed and I went, I can't see.
760
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:48,320
- So I told you I'd go to bed early, yep.
761
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:50,640
- Yeah, I was like, it was early evening.
762
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:51,640
I sat down to watch Teller.
763
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:53,360
I took my glass off thinking, hang on a minute,
764
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:55,040
something on my glasses and there wasn't actually,
765
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:56,600
it was in my eye and it was in my right eye
766
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:59,320
and I couldn't see, I had a big gray pat
767
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:01,680
in the middle of my eye with no vision.
768
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:03,560
So you do the, do I phone 9.09?
769
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:05,480
So I phone one more one or it first off,
770
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:07,800
right, ting my glass, phone one more one.
771
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:12,400
Conversation with them, then somebody phones me back
772
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:14,680
within the hour, so it took an hour for them to phone me back,
773
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:16,000
but again, they phone me back.
774
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,160
They went through some more questions and said,
775
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:20,960
yes, this seems serious, you need to go to A&E.
776
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:25,360
Now, at that point, I called on my neighbor.
777
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:29,920
- He found my name. - He would very kindly,
778
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:36,800
at that point very kindly took me to A&E and actually picked me up at four o'clock in
779
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:41,920
the morning afterwards so I'll cover that. So a big, big huge thank you to them for taking
780
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:47,520
me. But I went to A&E, eventually my vision recovered, but effectively they said you did
781
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:52,320
have what they call a TIO. So I'm now from that point on going through things like
782
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:56,800
high blood pressure which I have and I'm now on drugs or high blood pressure. I've gone through
783
00:35:56,800 --> 00:36:02,160
No end of test regarding my cholesterol level, I'm on statins, so I'm doing all the things now,
784
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:07,040
is that we've got a heart problem, fans out, what they call a PFO, which is a whole new one.
785
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:09,680
And who had to drive? You everywhere for a month?
786
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:12,400
Oh, yeah, of course, yeah, because obviously I had a TA, so I wasn't allowed to drive.
787
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:16,480
Which, by the way, when you've had him as a passenger in your car for a month,
788
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:18,000
I ended up with a heart problem.
789
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:19,920
You're a loddy, haven't you?
790
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:21,760
I thought I was a good passenger.
791
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:25,200
Which bit? The sudden breaking, all the... What are you doing?
792
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:26,040
Hey, what are you doing?
793
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:27,040
I'm driving.
794
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:29,600
And I was like, normally you're not here.
795
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:31,320
So don't you start that one.
796
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:32,840
Anyway, sorry, interrupting your story.
797
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:33,680
- No, no, no.
798
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:34,680
- The tales of where we go on.
799
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:35,520
- It's fun.
800
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:37,320
So, but anyway, so I must be getting really boring.
801
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:39,560
So I'm going through lots of tests.
802
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:42,320
And actually, I'd be very well looked after
803
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:44,720
both from a GP, the NHS, the GRI.
804
00:36:44,720 --> 00:36:46,040
- Should I get to the,
805
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:46,880
let's get to the,
806
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:48,120
- The rub of the matter, yeah.
807
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:49,120
- The rub of the matter, that's the,
808
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:49,960
that's nice.
809
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:51,120
The rub of the matter.
810
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:52,120
Is that a say?
811
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:53,120
I don't know if it isn't.
812
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:53,960
I don't know if it isn't.
813
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:57,820
Guess who's clawing at the door? Guess it can only be
814
00:36:57,820 --> 00:37:08,800
Bob hello Bob yes, I'm currently on air sausage. Okay, you will be a sausage if you keep doing that
815
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:15,040
So yes, the the longest short if it is is that he's had excellent care
816
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:19,680
People have actually really listened to him. I've had a couple of other things myself
817
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:26,480
I'm not gonna go into them. They're not very interesting, but I've been to see a couple of consultants the first guy was absolutely brilliant
818
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:31,000
I just think they happened to end up in the wrong medical unit as it was
819
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:37,120
I then realized I should probably be somewhere else went to see this other person and I was a port
820
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:41,600
A port and I'm not even saying that this person didn't say some truths
821
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:43,960
but
822
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:49,000
You know the whole bedside banner just completely went out the window didn't it and anyway for me
823
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:56,680
I think the medical world, well my parents are both medical, so I have huge respect.
824
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:59,400
They work such long hours.
825
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:06,680
One of my bezies that I saw last Saturday, she's, she's a, she works as a GP, she is
826
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:14,120
partner in a practice, incredibly intelligent and diligent, so I can't say anything against
827
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:19,160
them, but I do feel like I'm not sure how long the NHS can actually.
828
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:22,280
bear this weight really.
829
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:25,080
So the saddening thing for me though
830
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:27,480
is that because via your work,
831
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:30,200
we also went private, like you have done.
832
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:32,600
I don't know, I guess you kind of loathe yourself
833
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:37,560
into this idea that you're going to get good immediate care
834
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:39,240
because you're paying money.
835
00:38:39,240 --> 00:38:42,080
The sad truth for it is these are the same doctors
836
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:45,600
who are working in NHS and have limited time.
837
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:48,160
So actually it was a bit of a wake up call
838
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:52,280
And I find that side of, God, this has got a bit serious.
839
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:56,480
It's not really living in this country quite alarming.
840
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:58,600
But it is what it is.
841
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:03,280
I've decided now, unless I literally dropped out,
842
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:05,680
I'm just going with whatever I have.
843
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:06,760
I'm quite cool with it.
844
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:08,200
I am who I am.
845
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:09,040
Yeah.
846
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:10,040
And I agree.
847
00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:12,000
And it wasn't good.
848
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:13,800
The way your treaty wasn't good.
849
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:16,480
And I will say, I am very lucky, right?
850
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:21,360
as part of, you know, from work, you know, and I'm sure lots of people that listen to have,
851
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:25,520
you know, private medical insurance either through their company or they pay for it, right?
852
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:31,120
But I do find that we've ended up in this country by choice or not that we have a 2-tier system,
853
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:38,080
where if you pay the money, you get access to consultants and if you don't pay the money,
854
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:42,000
you have to wait and the wait is listed getting longer. And I don't have an answer for it.
855
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:45,520
It's going to be serious. I think there's probably something we could talk about. I know that,
856
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:52,080
the nurse on strike because they want to be paid appropriately. I think there's issues with the
857
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:56,640
pensions where doctors are now retiring because they can't afford what it basically costs the money
858
00:39:56,640 --> 00:40:00,480
to work, which is just nonsense when we've got qualified doctors that should be in we've got
859
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:04,320
immigration because of Brexit. That's a whole other subject you want to probably talk about on Brexit.
860
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:09,520
But yeah, but a lot of it says for my health point of view, I'll keep you updated. But I...
861
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:11,600
If don't forget our show is called Funny Family.
862
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:12,960
It is Funny Family isn't we've been a bit serious.
863
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,040
- We're going to be gently buying here, I'll make sure.
864
00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:16,800
- Yeah, yeah, so I'll buy you some.
865
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:20,120
But yeah, so, but anyway, so from the help point of view,
866
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:21,640
I think I'm all right.
867
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:23,920
- He's all right.
868
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:25,480
I don't let him not be all right.
869
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:29,720
- What I've noticed now though is I don't need cereal
870
00:40:29,720 --> 00:40:31,120
for breakfast or toast or anything,
871
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:32,760
'cause the amount of drugs I'm taking,
872
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:35,080
I just put them in a bowl with some milk.
873
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:35,920
- Yeah.
874
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:37,880
- And eat them like Cheerios.
875
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:40,920
I mean, I think it's like an American cereal bowl.
876
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:41,760
- You are right, Cereo bowl.
877
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:42,600
- You are right, Cereo bowl.
878
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:44,440
- Yeah. - So, yeah.
879
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:45,920
- The side effects, who knows?
880
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:47,720
I haven't grown another head yet.
881
00:40:47,720 --> 00:40:49,360
Maybe I have, I don't know.
882
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:50,960
They will, they will kick on at some point.
883
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:51,800
- He does know yet.
884
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:52,800
- Oh, that's amazing.
885
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:54,360
- Don't worry, I'll just let him know
886
00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:56,320
quite late this week.
887
00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:58,440
But you're looking fantastic on it darling.
888
00:40:58,440 --> 00:40:59,360
- Thank you very much.
889
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:01,400
- Yeah, fantastic.
890
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:03,600
I'm just gonna go on being unhealthy.
891
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:04,840
(laughing)
892
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:09,840
And I will continue on my Julia and Julia challenge.
893
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:19,240
So the week ahead for us is actually blissfully a lot of it is in the studio for me just working on the cookbook
894
00:41:19,240 --> 00:41:24,880
and I know Finn is going off to a birthday thing on Saturday isn't he?
895
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:25,560
Yes, yes.
896
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:27,560
He is socialised better than anyone's
897
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:30,680
and that's it really
898
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:35,560
and I need about a year as I said to get over my last outing out with the girls
899
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:36,040
Yes
900
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:37,720
Ready for the next one?
901
00:41:37,720 --> 00:41:39,560
Ready for the next one, absolutely
902
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:42,560
So yeah, so we're gonna keep it quite,
903
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:46,320
quite this week, any food, any plans on food,
904
00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:49,040
or all right, am I just gonna, no.
905
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:51,280
- I haven't got specific plans
906
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:55,200
because I'm going to be going through the Julia and Julia,
907
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:57,520
Julia and Jess, she was very confusing, isn't it?
908
00:41:57,520 --> 00:42:01,040
Julia and Julia, no, there's not Julia and Julia books.
909
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:05,080
The Julia Childs books.
910
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:07,840
If you've seen the film, you know why I'm getting confused.
911
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:14,840
I'm going to be cooking to keep family alive, I'm going to be parenting to try and keep
912
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:22,840
dragging them up and generally swearing and shouting at a boy's respiratory, oh as well
913
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:26,840
as my husband. That's pretty much my week in a nutshell.
914
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:32,840
Which is fat. I'm going to work and my list of DIY jobs that I didn't do any of is getting
915
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:34,840
longer. It's getting longer.
916
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:38,960
any of is getting longer so yeah we've got a very busy Saturday and Sunday
917
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:42,920
maybe I fill you in on those DIY jobs as I go through if you want to know
918
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:46,080
where's it getting boring there well I don't know but the way you just said it
919
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:49,280
they're like I didn't think I signed up to that so we've probably just lost 10
920
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:54,080
people but there are funny things that happen off the back of these DIY jobs you
921
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:58,060
