Did you? My house was on a main road but now in the country. Yeah. Yeah.
Oh I. Beckett! Teeth! All the builders driving through. What? Do you get less acknowledgement in the countryside? Because there's less people. But like, like obviously there's there, there, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, there, there, there, the. Yeah, the. Yeah, the. Yeah, the. Yeah, the. Yeah, the. Yeah, the. Yeah, like, the. Yeah, like, like in the countryside because there's
less people but obviously there's less people but per person you're still
getting acknowledgement or do people in the countryside care less about you?
Well I'm in a car and there's not not many pedestrians obviously because it's in
lanes and what's quite good is because it's sort of I go into the pub and I sort
of the local people and it's because it's sort of, I go into the pub and I sort of know a few of the local people.
And it's, so it's like, you're right,
it's sort of quite bored of me quite quick.
Where I used to live was a cut through for about a million people
and loads of school run people.
Especially when I used to drag the little trolley bag.
And they were like, hey, it's a bag. Trolley bag. Those were the days.
Where is the trolley?
After your house, these people used to scream at me,
where's your chicken?
Yeah, nice.
I had a cab driver go to me once.
I heard that you weren't even fucking drunk for that chicken video after you
made it all up.
Fucking out.
And I went, I went, I went, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't know what you want me to say. So was it? Yeah, I was pissed and
on Instagram. Well, how do I know? I went, well you don't? And I don't care. I couldn't
care less. I did a shop once. I went to me, you Rebecca, off the telly, I went, yeah.
Yeah, and he went, no you're not. I went, all right then, he went,
prove it. I went, no, show me your idea, I went, no, well you're not then. I went, if you
think I am, I think I'm not, I don't care. I told you I am, if you want to think I'm lying, then that's up to you, isn't it? Fulking bullshit. And then when when when when when when when when when I thinin, thin, thii, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show me me, thi. thi. to me, to me, to me, you're to me, to me, to me, show me, show me, to me, show me, show me, show me, show me, show me, show, show, you're, show, th. And then when I used to get pissed, sometimes I'd be rude to people in pubs.
Yeah, someone come up to me and go,
My friends is normally, it'll normally be a pissed middle-aged woman and go,
my friends,
So you're famous, but I don't even know who you are.
I don't know the fuck you are either, so why don't you fuck off.
I've said that a few times.
How did it go down?
You find a rummish and rummish just hates it when I do that.
I regret it but some people do need it.
Some people in this world, Josh, need a good old fuck off.
When was the last time you properly tell someone to fuck off?
I love it. I would say the worst worst worst worst worst worst worst worst worst worst worst worst worst worst worst worst worst worst worst worst worst worst worst worst worst worst worst worst worst worst the worst worst worst worst worst worst worst worst the worst worst worst worst the worst worst worst worst worst the worst worst worst the worst worst the you. And suddenly you realize the fucking liberties
they take during photos drunk people.
Yeah, really handsy.
Yeah, really handsy.
And you're like, I want to get you disgust me.
But I don't.
But I don't. And they'll go, I don't think, you know, my friend finds you funny, but I don't find you funny.
And you're like, I'm literally stood here having a photo with you, you're kidding.
Yeah, exactly.
I was doing an award to do the other day. This woman come up to me and she was giving up when
the award, she went, can I have a kiss. And I went, the stage waiting for the award winner to come up. She went, can I have a kiss? And I went to work and I went to work and
just like kissing blokes at the ass. Not again. Can I have a kiss. And I went, oh let's do an air kiss. Actually I went, but we can do an air kiss and try to do a little funny actor. But if people say
that, the one I do, a couple of jokes I've got, when I do awards or do it any
gig really, someone they shout out, where's Josh or where's Romish and I go, you don't get them, me and them, me and theyn't their their, their, their, their, their, they, they, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, th, th, th, th. th. th. thr, thr, thr, thr, thr, they. that, that, they. that, they. that, they. they. they. they. they. the one, the one, the.

oh lovely bit of business. I gave a more on a photo then. Bit of fun. Bit alpha, bit laddie. But you've
got to do what you got doing their situations. And if you do that in front of a group of lads, they're annoying you. What about if they say my mom? My mom loves you. Yeah it all depends. You've got
you got to judge the energy of the moment. My daughter loves you. Yeah, no again,
again, probably not. I'm not going to go, does she? Well, I was fucking her. But it's normal. It's not just I'm not saying if anyone is in a positive way and says my wife loves you,
but when they go, I don't really like you, but my wife does, then I think, right, here we go,
let's do this. Because, you know, I'm happy to rip you apart. If I'm in a good mental space,
I'll say nothing and let it flow through me, but you know what, sometimes I'm not in a good mental space and I th th th th th th and I to to to to to to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make their to make th me but you know what sometimes I'm not in a good mental space and I need to belittle someone to make me feel good okay and you're up next as you

Yeah, I know it's worrying, isn't it? When I broke up with people in the past,
normally it's like you sort of just avoid each other for a bit? We went away together last week, just the two of us.
Oh, that's nice. Someone to talk or the politicians go when they're the checkers?

Did you?
Rose described it as the best breakfast buffet in Europe.
Right, in Europe?
Okay, where else worldwide is it?
told me worldwide.
America's probably got some.
It was incredible.
And then Rose said, I'm crippled by choice.
Yeah.
She said, just have something you wouldn't normally have.
Okay.
I had a bowl of shreddies.
I absolutely panicked and I thought I haven't had shreddies in ages.
Was it nice? Yeah, lovely.
Surely there would have been like poached eggs, there would have been like bacon, sausage, pancakes, waffles, fruit?
Yeah, I kept hunger locked up till lunch, my friend.
Why was it so good then? What did Rose have? It was just everything and it was all, there was a piece of cheese with a thing that you
turned on it and then it kind of shaved it into a kind of I love I love a
little bit of unnecessary exuberance yeah so good it was we had a wonderful time
so she had some cheese and you had a bowl of shreddies
a long story short, yeah. Right, well, let's carry on.
You carry on.
You carry on.
Right, what was I up to?
Oh yeah.
But you get to Monday.
Monday.
So Monday.
So Monday.
Well, that was when, actually, that was when using Glen Eagles, wasn't it?
Oh yeah.
Oh yeah.
I did a little one of them, like, know them little like uncle GPs. Yeah. She goes on anyway so
Tuesday came and Tuesday was Roman day Josh. Oh this is what we're talking about
now. We went in in, this is when many put our names down for the morning
did you say when in Rome at all? Do you know what I didn't which is I can't believe I missed that but I got a bit thrown because like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like the the the the the the the th. the the the the to to to to to the to the to to to the to to to to to to to to to to to to their. their. to to to to their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I didn't which is I can't believe I missed that but
I got a bit thrown because I was like we went we had to dress in toges and I'd
like a bed sheet around me so I felt a bit vulnerable. Did they have anti-biotics
in Roman times? I've got they did this morning off my nut on penicillin. So did you did you got a picture of Lou, because I didn't really feel comfortable taking photos of
doing selfies in a school.
That's some pathetic loser Instagrammer.
Just hanging out my toga.
Anyway, we just had a bed sheet on, then Lou bought some gold like rope.
So we tied it round.
And then what we did so it was the morning, we thought was doing the morning or afternoon, but the the the the the teacher put us in for both sessions. I think 9 to 3.30.
Oh my word.
For an hour's break.
What did you have to do?
So the morning, it was really good actually, there's like this guy come in that's like a historian
guy that basically stays in characters of Roman and he set up like eight different
stalls and each parent had to be on the stalls. So one was like clay making. I was like a mosaic tile making and then there was like
a little some sort of Roman game and the so I've I messed up because I thought I will go on I'll go to that
The other ones were like painting making some little metal necklacracing making little plastic leather make a little leather
the theylap or something always different stations and all the kids moved around it and stuff like and they also had questions to ask you and you to to to to to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the they. they. they. they. they. their their their their their their their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. I. their. their. I. I. I was. I was. I was. I was. So. So. So. So. So. So. I was. So. I was. So. So. I'm. I'm. I'm. So. I'm. I'm. So. I'm. I'm. So, their their their the kids moved around it and stuff like that. And they also had questions to ask you, and you had to answer it because they were trying to find out
who was the secret spy or something.
Or is it the whole school?
No, it was just the year, year group.
And I was like, oh, with my daughter is in.
And I was like, you know what would be good?
I'll do, because that would got the mentality of a child. Yeah, yeah. I do and just realize that. Whatever I want to do is whatever load of kids
will want to do.
So I was absolutely bombarded.
I was knocking out tiles with these kids, one,
ask the other.
And then the one I tried to board was like a Roman game
where you have to make this special things play a game. while I was like hammering out tile. We had it absolutely had it off. What do you mean?
What did you have to do making my mosaic tiles?
So you have to give them a bit of card,
you have to give them some glue, all the different tiles
and help them make the mosaic they want to make.
They were supposed to sketchtalk about that, because I'm basically, Josh, I'm genuinely, this
is a separate topic.
I'm genuinely struggling to help my daughter with a homework in year three.
Yeah, yeah.
Because I think I'm dyslexic, so I'm going to go for a dyslexia test.
Right. Get it properly to get it properly, to that an academic, you know, institution
would want it delivered, either it's, you know, school and then going off to university
and stuff.
So I'm really struggling and I spoke to the British dyslexia association, the BDA, I think
that's what it is.
And they've been like really helpful in explaining what's going on, because they said a lot of the, they got involved before because I spoke to a dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm not, the the th. is. is. is. And, th. And, tha, tha, thi. And, tha, thi. And, th th thi, th th th th the the they got they got involved before because I spoke to a dyslexery in my book and and stuff so
I've always been trying to like, I try and help them out and I can they've got
bucket collections. I'm doing so you try to, no one could understand what you're
writing about. I'm all right. A bit of fun. A bit of fun. I don't know. I don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't. I don't don't don't don't don't. I don't. I don't. I don't. I don't. I don't. I don't. I don't. I don't. I don't. I don't. I don't. I don't. I don't. I don't. I don't. I don't. I don't. I don't. I don't. I don't. I don't. I don't. I don't. I don't. I don't. I don't. I don't. I don't. I don't. I don't. I th. I th. I th. I th. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Yeah okay so there's a lot it's a lot on that test now yeah. So yes British Dislexure
Association and they're they're collecting money at my gigs in Soho
after the show but they said that 50% of their calls are from parents that
are struggling themselves with their kids. Wow that's interesting.
Because what happens is you waive a you know back especially for our generation and older especially around the 50 year old mark that
there's a lot of people that went undiagnosed struggle but then they go into
a job and career that doesn't need it like what I do really it's sort of bullet
points and talking and then they never realize that they're struggling until
the kids bring home the homework homework. That's really interesting. So if you are struggling, don't you know be ashamed to ring up and go and try and the British Dislexia Association.
Yeah, the British Dissexier Association, the BDA and they're on Instagram and stuff
so I'm going to do the test and I'll report back on how it works and what happened and stuff. What do you know what the test involves? Not really no, I think they. T they. T they. T the the the the the their. T their. T, I. T, I. T, I. T, I their, I their, I their, I their, their, their, their, their, their, their, the British, the British, the British, the British, the British, the British, the British, the British, the British disa, the British.

B. B. B. B. B. B. B. B. B. B. B. B. their it takes a couple of hours and you sit down with an assessor, but the problem is that it's a massive way even to go privately and it's even longer if you go through the government,
but not because the government are being tight. However, even if they threw loads of money at it,
at the moment there's not enough assessors. Yeah. So there's a big market for people to be
trained as assessors to try and do and do and do and do and do and do and do and do and do it. And th and do it. And th and do th and do it. And th and th and thin and thin. And thin. And thi.

And, their the it. But I'll get some information on it once I've done this. I think I'm doing it in the new year. But anyway, so that's what I realized. I was I went for the mosaics
and tiles thinking that would be the easiest, but then also all the kids did that. So Mario sat
there doing nothing. And him and his wife had booked in the afternoon. Doing a fucking shift at the Coliseum.
Right, the shift of the afternoon, Josh, right?
The morning was fine, we run these stalls,
they had lunch, we come back.
Then the teacher went to us, then the teacher went to us.
Oh, right, we've got 25 minutes now now. kids. So I gave with some kids. But I didn't know any of these kids. They're sort of like kids that either hadn't really met yet on the other or like the one part of a friendship
group. Even if you did know them it would be easier when you they've been around for a play date.
You can like, yeah, of course. They can go like, do you want to be the goose? Because they all want to. to be the goose. they all. their. they all. they all. they're all. they're all. they're all. they're all. they're all. they're all. they're all. they're all. they're all. they're all. they're all. they're all. they're all. they're. they're. they're. they. they're. their. their. they're. they're. they're. they're. they're. they're they're. their. they're. they're. they're. they're. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. they're. they're. they're. they're. they're. they're. they're. they're. they're. they're. they're. they're. they're they're they're they're th. they're th. th. they're they're like. they're th. they're they're they're like. they're they're they're they're they're they're their. they're they and then also we've got this up a bit of paper and it's all got their life. Yeah in a room with seven kids and there's like right 20 minutes I was like what?
I didn't know what I was doing. They want to be the goose. It's like an apprentice task.
Exactly that right. There's one girl we've got really upset because she wanted to go in a mom's group but their the school policy is you can't go the the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their. their. their. their their their. their. their. their. their. their their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their.

I don't understand why, but that's just what they do and they're quite strict with it.
So she was really upset because her mom had come in
and she couldn't be in a mom's group.
Oh my God.
She's crying, and when we say what parts,
she wants to be, she keeps saying no, no, like that.
All right, let's leave her. up and then Lou just went in the order of the parts and how they were lined up to make it fair.
God, it's good, yeah.
So Lisa, she's on right, line up, line up, I'm going to go over, you're narrator
one, you're narrator two, you're the farmer's wife, you're the farmer's husband, you're
the goose, right? And then there's a part, and the poor girl, who's the the the the the th girl, she's th girl, she's th, she's girl, she's girl, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she.... the, she, she, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the teary. She's not in tears but she's upset, right? The last part, sad mask. I don't know what sad mask is. I don't know if it's a Roman thing.
Lou just pointed at this poor girl and said, you're sad mask. And I'm a little bit, we have never
nearly laughed so much at the, we didn't want to because it'd be unfair on the kids. Yeah, of course. What are the last part. the sad. the sad. the sad. the sad. the sad. the sad. the sad. to to to to to to to to to to to to be to be the sad. the sad. the sad. to be the sad. to be the same. to be the same. the same. to be to be the same. the same. to the same. to to me. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the the to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. I. I. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was.. We didn't laugh. I was like, what are the chances? The last part was poor old sad bars.
How did sadmas take it?
She was like, I don't want to be sad mask.
We went, fair enough, why don't you,
and then we invented a great little part for her,
because they wanted to say their line. So she was almost like this new part, which was ferry and the egg.
And then basically me and Lou were sad mask,
which basically is all the cheering and booing.
It's the best bit.
I would, honestly,
Lou literally just pointed at a child
that was upset and said,
It was like,
I was like, And how did it all play out? How's the play? I'd say it looked like a play that
had been put together by strangers in 20 minutes.
And that would be that would be complimentary. That was that was fun to be
fun. It was fun to hang out with Lou went for a nice lunch and stuff and she
was talking about what the girls keep calling her now Josh because
she's been quite stressed last couple weeks because we've had both parties so we
had a very stressful day where I went and collected a cake for my daughter's
so we had the the sleeping of the party then the following Saturday my daughter
the party in a hall because she's a bit younger with her schoolmates and some entertainers
we do all with a coglands the cake from Coglands, we like Coglans. Coughlans. Coughlans. It's got a G in a bit, it's Coughlans.
Yeah, is it?
Yeah.
I've been called them Coglons.
Anyway, Coughlons, South East Under Bakery,
do vegan stuff.
And especially when you got kids with diet.
Yeah, they without the chocolate coming down the side they sort of said oh that will make it a bit wobbly it got a lot
lost in translation long story short I'm driving the cake home it just slides
off and just it doesn't stay together right so I get home the cakes the cakes
the cakes is unsalvishable it the cake what I like to call completely fucked
where had the cake been on the drive? Foot well the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th as th as th as th as th as th is th as th is th is th th th th th th th th th the the th th th th th th th th th th th. th. the. th. the. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is the the that is that is that. ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta. took. took. the the the the the the Where had the cake been on the drive?
Footwell.
Flat as a flat as before and also
flat as a pancake.
In the other footwell is another cake
for my other daughter's birthday
because of both birthdays on the actual Friday,
but we've pushed all their parties back a week
so that my daughter had a party
five days before her birthday
then her other daughter had a party the day after my other daughter's birthday because her birthday is in a week's time.
Yeah. So we've all shifted it slightly so I'm picking up two cakes. One's absolutely fine,
the other one's slid all over the place. I ring Lou, I'll go, Lou, we've had a bit of a disaster,
the cake's fallen over and at that point I hear her scream. I the I'm like, all right, okay, we'll sort it.
Georgie, Georgie, you know the dog?
She's walked in, Georgie is eaten,
an entire advent calendar of chocolate.
Procholk.
Dogs and chocolate.
Dogs.
Toxic to dogs.
Toxic to dogs.
With the immediate vet check, how old?
Loos, lo! found a little hack with the chocolate eating with dogs. Basically when you go to the vets and you tell them how much chocolate they've had, they add it up
and put it into a toxicity calculator which is fun on Google. So we're saving
a self a cup of liquid. We're the old toxicity calculator crew. Anyway so
she's put it in basically, it says medium level of danger, the to keep an eye on the dog. So it's she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she's. So it is. So it is. the the to the to to the the th. So, so she's th. So, so. So, so. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. So, th. So, th. So, the th. So, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. So, so. So, so. So, so. So, so. So, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, the thea. the thean. thean. thean. the thean. thean. thea. thea. So, thease. So, thease.ell, take them to a vet, but just keep an eye on the dot. So it's basically not danger, stomach pump limit, okay?
Yeah. So she's done that, the cakes everywhere, lose lost her absolute mind.
Also I've discovered that the girls, when she's get stressed, say, don't say the F and the H word.
Basically, and then my daughter said,
hell. And I said, it's the F word the naughty version of fudging because they listen to little like you know little lion man by a mumford and sons because it's not your fault but
mine oh I know that's I really fucked it up this time yeah didn't know
my and I played it once about realizing it swore so much and the girls
loved it but I've taught them they just say fudged right here so they said but the nupty version the lulled no I the the they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they th th they the th th th th th th th th th th th th th th the the the their their their their their their their their their their their they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they th th th th th tho tho tho tho tho to tho tho thooo thooooooooo to thooo thoo thoo tho tho tho tho their their. Right here. So they said, but mom says, fudging hell, but the naughty version.
And Lou went, no I don't, no I don't.
They went, yes you do, mummy.
You whisper it when you're stressed.
Ha ha ha ha ha.
Right, so, so the cake's dead.
The dog's eat a load of chocolates.
We keep it online the dog. We've locked him in the thing. Anyway, we run Coughlan's and Lou, we buy all our stuff from Coughlin's anyway.
This is, I'm not, we don't mention them because we get freebies.
We're run, we're run them and then we're running them.
And he rang them and he rang them. to message me next to the cakes. But wea to to to to to to to to to th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thu. thu. the thu. thu. they. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. they. tho. they. they. the the they. We buy. We buy. We buy. We buy. We buy. We buy. We buy. We buy. We buy. We buy. We buy. We buy. We buy. We buy. We buy. We buy. We buy. We buy. We buy. We buy. We buy. We buy. We buy. We buy. We. We. We. We. We. We buy. We. We. We buy.

You need the chocolate on it to keep it secure.
I'll bring you another cake to the party.
So he's sorted all that out.
He's in South London anyway, so we've got all that sorted.
And the dog's fine.
I took it, he was fine the dog, I took him on a walk the? Well, at the moment, well where we walk is through woods and they, luckily for us,
do their shit in the middle of the woods, they run off.
We're on the path, pick it up, but if he does one in the woods 50 yards away that no one hits through.
Yeah, yeah. That's just shit city to me. That's, you know, there's sometimes me and I will, some that's on that's that's that's on that's that's that's that's that's that's that's the the the some that are on the borderline where it's not on the path but it's sort of in view that if you were to stray
I still pick up because I'm a public figure I can't take that risk yeah yeah
if I wasn't on the tele tele tele the I'd leave that shit there however I don't
want to be known I don't want to be known a little bit of the tele-tacks.
I don't want to be in the jungle in 10 years time and someone goes, I'm not voting for him, he left a shit near a path. So I'll pick it up anyway. Ten years.
So I can see the watery shit from a far. It's also because they keep going then hanging their ages because it doesn't feel like they don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't they've don't they've don't they've don't feel like they've don't they've don't they've don't they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they're they're their they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're the the the the their their their the their th th the theing theing theing thean thi thi the thi the the the thi the thi the their their their their their theing thi confused? Yeah, yeah. Anyway, so dogs alive, we've got another cake delivered but
Lou's at this point it's sort of like a slight start breaking point. Anyway,
next day we get up, go to the party, parties all good, have a really good time at
the party. Kids, it all works perfectly. Loo, still a little bit stressed on an edge,
but we get into the end of the busy period And we come home and then have a lovely day, lovely day on Saturday afternoon,
chilling, watching the football, chilling the kids.
Anyway, my daughter last week, she went into school on the Tuesday,
she had Monday off, went to school on Tuesday, really ill after the Tuesday.
So she was off Wednesday, went back in Friday because she had no temperature, she was fine Saturday, Sunday wakes up with a temperature and crippling stomach pain Sunday morning. Like severe, bent over,
she never gets a belly ache, double, ah, doubled over like wailing, right? Like real bad pain.
And she said, where's the pain? She said it's coming from here. She showed Lou, Lou went, it's coming from a right side. This is an appendix side.
Oh, been there, mate.
Right, so I was like, okay, she was coughing all night, so I thought she had a bad stomach because she was maybe taught like, strained a muscle or, you know, when you cough loads and loads you can damage your stomach muscles, can't you?
But when, as soon as Lou said, no, she's shown me, it's come from right side, I'm like, right, let's get to the hospital.
Because I'm not going to let it this way.
Get to the hospital.
We get there.
She's in the car, even when I'm driving fast, she's in pain and stuff like that.
Get to the hospital. Now, the nurses and doctors that we dealt with eventually, the tha, tha, th also, tham, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, thi, to, the to, the to, to, the to, the to, to, to, to, to, to, get, get, get, get, get, get, get, get, get, get, get to, get to, get to, get to to to to to to to to to to to to the hospital. Get it, get the hospital. Get it, get the hospital. Get it, get the hospital. the hospital. the hospital. the hospital. the hospital. the hospital. the hospital. We. the hospital. We, get. the hospital. We, get. the hospital. the hospital. the the hospital. the the the the hospital. the hospital. to, to, to, the hospital. to, get, get the hospital. to, get to, get to, get to, get to, get to, get to, get to. toe. toe. the hospital. the hospital. I do think though that immediate because you basically
are the hospital go to you go to urgent care and when you're in urgent care you get seen in
about 10-15 minutes and then they decide do you wait for the GP or if it's an emergency you
go to A&E so you can't get to A&E anymore now unless you go in an ambulance.
Right. Right. You have to go to urgent care. Theythis issue and do you know what is a much better system so all good however
the two people at reception at this urgent care you know there's a sign that always says
please treat all our staff with respect they're at work and we will not accept any sort of you know
abusive language or aggression totally get it I'm always super nice super polite however I do think
these receptionists should have a sign on their side that says,
These people are good citizens and good humans. Do not treat the many like the few.
Do not treat this person like someone that spat at you last week, because that's not me.
The anger you get from this people reception, just like, they basically say with the eyes, what the fuck do you want while you here??????? th? th th th?? th th th th th th th th th th th they they they they they they they they th? th? they th? th? th? th? th? th, th, th, th, thi, thi, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I I the, the, I the, I the, I the, I the, I the, I'm the, I'm theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, I thee reception, just like, they basically say with the eyes,
what the fuck do you want while you here?
And my daughter's like screaming in pain, right?
So I get, so I say hello, right?
And like, she's a big sheet up, there's a mask on, she's talked quite quietly and she's
trying to get my name and my address and then she said
mobile number I give my mobile number and they say next to and they and she
went that's not the right mobile number I was like well it's my number she went
I'm Rob Beckett her dad and her mom's Lou Beckett yeah that's who the
next to kin is I went oh okay fine but that's mine that's my number
she went we got to leave it there I went pardon should we've got to leave it there I'm got leave what there
got leave the number there I went what do you mean to I can't change the next
kid number I went no I'm not I'm not I'm not telling you to you just asked me
for my phone number and I gave you mine and you said, that's what I've said. And she would go through, anyways, I've sat for him like this, well, this person's mental,
right? We sit there, we go and see the first nurse who's looked stressed to fuck, but she's
quite hard to communicate with. It wasn't really listening to what we said and stuff like that. I think she was kind of I was like no but sometimes she has pain
down there every now and again and she was basically going down the urine, urine infection, but I knew it wasn't a UTC, where it was UTC, I knew it wasn't that. And anyway, she went
having some cow pole to and I thought was I don't want C. C is a comedy club. Yeah, yeah, yeah,, UTI, that's the one.
Anyway, she went, have some carpal, my daughter, I don't want, I don't want cowpoll,
and then the room was like, no, I just say, if you've got pain, have some cowpoll,
I'm like, we're not kicking off outside of Wetherspoons, I know, I understand you're under pressure, but you're under pressure, but you're dealing with, you're a a a a, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, th, th, th, th, th, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm, I'm, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm, th.. that, that, that, that, that, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, I'm, I any, I don't want any, I don't want any, and then she went have some, I went, you've got to have some shows, she had it.
And then within about 20 seconds,
my daughter vomited all over the floor.
Oh my God, oh my God.
So then that sort of livened up the lady
and she sent us to told her I didn't want any and I didn't think well. And she made me have it. And guess what?
Vomit on the floor.
She's giving it that.
Anyway, yeah, so we get through to A&E,
then we wait to see someone.
Basically, it turns out, she did all the tests and it wasn't appendix. Because when we examined her, all the pain was to to to to to, so, so, so, so, so, to, to to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to, to, to, to, to me, to me, the, the, to me, to me, to me, to me, to, to, to, to, to, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, to me, to me, to me, to, to me, to, to, to me, to me, to, to me, to, to me, to me, to me, to me. the, the pain was coming from the left-hand side.
What?
I was like, well, that's weird.
I mean, what did you tell mummy?
And she went, I showed her this side, I showed her this side.
Then I remembered, Lou doesn't know her left and right.
Oh no, oh no, oh no.
Oh no.
Oh no.
Oh no.
Oh my god. Dis my God, disaster.
There's a little bit like rush through like appendix pain.
I'm like yes on the right hand side by the appendix.
Oh God.
Anyway, so we get there. However, we needed to, she needed to be seen because she was in really bad.
So what was it was. So what was it is, basically that she said there's a viral respiratory infection going around kind of thing that isn't COVID but it's really bad, gives you a cough, makes you really run down and exhausted and
a really high fever and temperature which she keeps having a temperature of like 40 degrees
when she does too much. So we were chilling in that thingy and basically there's a lymph node
in your thinne. You know there's lymph nodes. But there there's also some in your abdomen the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the there there there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's the the the the the the the the the the thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi., yeah. Glandy, when you get glandy.
Exactly, but there's also some in your abdomen.
Right.
When you get a viral infection, they become swollen and inflamed and can cause pain, that coupled
with coughing all night will make them really sore.
And because she coughs all night and then in the day she doesn't cough as much, it will be that. And they did a, we let's, we let's, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, the, the, the, they. they. We, they. We, they. they. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the, the, the, the, the, the, the day she doesn't cough as much, it will be that.
And they did, we had to do a wee test as well to make sure there was an infection.
I'd explain to my door that she had to wee into a cup and she just found out the most hilarious
thing ever.
And I was like, take your trous and trousers and so I can cause pain in the abdomen that will be worse in the morning
because she's been up or not coughing right and just keep an eye on it and if
it spreads or comes back but we rushed her in because we thrown because we'
they thrown because we're rushed her in because we throwed in the the the the the the, they, they, they, to s s s.... they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, they, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the.. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. to. the. the. to. the. the. the. to. the. to. the. the the. to. the the the the the the the to completely fucked again. So we just make sure she's properly recovered. So that was our little trips at A-A on Sunday. It's the dream for the kid, isn't it? It's great if you're
a kid and you have to stay home, but you don't feel that bad. Fucking it out. She's all right to sort like watch her iPad or lay in bed. Yeah, yeah, but she's just knackered. the things. th.

If you need good part into Alfie and Jake from Shark and George, Big Up.
The kids absolutely love them, but it is mental.
There's some kids in the class that are a little bit more reserved and quiet.
And their games you literally just run around screaming,
which our kids love.
But you can see some of the kids like what's going on and some of the points is mental but it was really good so we are battling through now we've got a few more days of school
there heads down to Christmas. Head down to Christmas. Nice to chill and relax at Christmas but yeah it's
been a busy couple of weeks in the Beckett household but I'm feeling a lot better I had a good sleep last night and we get a shaking it Josh but... do you know do you know we're so
close but you've come to a halt I thought we're gonna do two episodes of Rob Solo
here? I was like this is the easiest week of my life. You've done that you've
you've nodded and do you know what that you've chipped in with some absolutely
I've chipped in I've kept the ball in the air and I've enjoyed myself from you saying that you've chipped in with some absolutely... I've chipped in, I've kept in, I've kept the ball in the air and I've enjoyed myself. From you saying that your ex-girlfriend is due a leaper? Well, there you go.
Should I check if anything's happened to me? Tell us what's been going in with your, your
week and your kids? Your daughter's off unwell. Every kid's thrown. Every kid's tho' well? I don't don't even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even I don't even even even I don't even I don't even even even I don't even even I don't even even even even even I don't even even even even I don't even even even I don't even even even I don't even even even even I don't even even I don't even I don't even I don't even I don't I don't even I don't even.

I don't. I don't. I don't. I don't even even even even even even. I don't even even even even. I don't even in for a couple of days because she'd been sick. I just rose curfew mean? Is it your curfew? You're not allowed downstairs after nine if she's
out? No, we were going to, we were going to a party. Because what was the thing?
Yeah. Because I drive now to been missing us and we needed to.
So was this an adults only party? An adults only party, Christmas drinks. Christmas drinks.
Christmas drinks. And I found myself saying to Rose, I'll drive you. But we're leaving at 10 p.m. on the door.
And you've got to come with me. And I felt like her dad Rob. Really? How did he, how did you respond to your shrewd curfew?
And was it a floating idea or was it an instruction?
It was an instruction.
Oh, it was an instruction.
You're getting so powerful these days.
Well, I don't know if I am, I don't know if I am, Rob, because in the end of the party.
the end of the day. Well, it did it did it did, I I I I I I I I I I I I I the, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I tho, I don't, I don't, I don't, I to to tho, I to to to to to to to to to to to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, th.

So I, at the end of the day, well it did. I worried that I haven't
got a social life Rob when we didn't go to the party. It really hit me hard. What they didn't go.
Because you, well no, I think you make a decision, don't you, whether, well it's just you've got
kids you can't just keep leaving all the time because you feel bad. Then they're fun to be with. It's not like a break. And also at the age where they know and care,
it's not like when you've got an 18 month fold
that once they're asleep,
couldn't give a shit.
But when they're older, they want to see you and stuff.
And because you've got a lot of,
we've got a tree up now. Real one. Real one. It's too
big. One of the seats on the sofa you have to watch the TV through the tree like you're
a peeping Tom. Is that fun for a bit or is it? Well it depends on what you're watching obviously.
They watch. Yeah, kind of topical reference we go for Rob. We went away for a few days. to me and rose.

Rose and we're very lucky that we get to do this, two or three times a year,
we like to just have a weekend where we can go away and kind of re-remember what
we're like without children. Right, okay. So we went to Scotland, to Glenn Eagles and I'm going to bring up an issue I've got with Rose. Because we're looking to get to to that to that that to that that to that to that to to to to to the to the to the the to to the the th luce th luce th luce th luce th lucky th lucky thu thu the the the the the the- the- the- the the the wee wee wee wee wee wee wee wee wee wee wee wee wee we get wee we get wee we get wee we get wee we get wee we get wee we get th we get th we th we get th we get th we get th. th. th. the the the the the the the the the the thean. thean. thean. thean. thean. theatuu. the thee theeee the wee wee the we to bring up an issue I've got with Rose.
Because we're looking to get Rose and Lou back on the podcast, aren't we?
Yeah, they need to come back and just do a little rant because and I think you know have a right
to apply to certain things like the appendix, the fact that Rose may have left you, things things. Things like that. Yeah, that kind of thing. We get. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. th. to to to to to to to thrown. thrown, to to to to to to to to tho. tho. the, the. the. the. the. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th.

Rose, I've realized, has this thing she does when we get on the train.
She'll peg it to our seats that are reserved. Right, okay. And then she'll...
Peg in the great word, by the way. Yeah, so she'll get our seats and she'll sit down. And then she'll be like,
are you're all right to just put all this stuff because I've got the seats? Are you're rightto put my coat up there, to put the
bags? So basically she would treats like a little butler servant once she sat
now. What she'll do is she'll take the job of getting the seats. Yeah, I think
the seats have already got if you're stood to the seats. The seats have
been got, Rob. They've reserved, them putting stuff on the top. So I'd say that I'd say the job she's doing has been done by AI.
Yeah, I would say we're way ahead of her on this.
Yeah, that job, that job's redundant.
Her sitting on it makes no difference really to what's going to happen the next five minutes.
No. So she sits here and passes you things to put up. Yeah. And I stand that.
It annoys me a lot Rob.
I've realized it annoys me a lot, yes.
Because I suppose in a star of relationship you sort of do that to be quite gentlemanly and like...
Yeah, yeah, of course.
Oh, hey, little later.
A little cold.
Yeah, but now I'm like, get your fucking charge of yourself.
So you'll ask for stuff to get out the back.
So is that at the beginning?
Put the bag up.
Oh, sorry, could I have my charger?
Oh, for crap.
So you have to get back up to get it.
So you have to get back up to get it.
Because the window seat, the angle of the window seat is too far below the shelf above.. the. the.. So. And. And. And. And. And. And. the. the. the. the. the. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thi. thi. thi. the thi. thi. the the thi. that's. that's. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the. Soe. Soe. Soe. Soe. Soe. Soe. Soe. Soe. Soe. Soe. Soe. Soe. Soe. Soe. the. Soe. Soe. the. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. toea.a. toea.a. toea. So, that's. So, that's. So, thea. So, the angle of the window seat is too far below the shelf above you.
So the person that's got the aisle seat is basically on bag duty.
Right, but then I suppose if it's just a chance at the beginning of the trip, or is it constant?
But I'm the faf, I'm the faf, I'm doing all the faf. Yeah, I think if you're sat in the FAF. Yeah I think if you're sat in the aisle during the trip and she wants
something for the bag I think it's easier for you to just grab it than you to get
up mind out the way and I know it is. However I do agree that she could maybe
put her bags up when you first get on the train because the as we discussed the seats have got the seats have got the seats have been got the the seat the seats have been got the the the the the the the the the the the the the seats have the seats have the seats have the seats have the seats have the seats have the seats have the seats have the seats have the seats the seats the seats the seats the seats the seats the seats the seats the seats the seats the seats have the seats have the seats have the seats the seats the seats the seats the seats the seats the seats the seats the seats the seats the seats have got got the seats have the seats have the seats have the seats have the seats have the seats have the seats have the seats have the seats have the seats have the seats have the seats have the seats have the the the the the the the seats have the the seats have the seats the the seats the seats. the seats. the seats. the seats. the the the the seats have. the seats have the the the the seats have. the the the the the the seats have. the the seats have the the seats have the seats have the seats have been. the seats have been. the seats have the seats have got. There's a red light above them. We can all see it. We can all see it.
Anyway, we went away, we went to Scotland, we got lost on a golf course. We got a lot, we went
for a walk on a golf course. Yeah. And they said there's a, it's a closed because it was snowing.
It was incredible, it was snowing. We went for a walk. They they said the cafe at whole nine. We walked I was in new trainers so they were rubbing because
they um... Are they waterproof? No they weren't waterproof no. In the snow. Well it was like a light settling
of snow. I know I think you've got to put waterproof shoes on for the snow. In the snow. Well it was like a light settling of snow. I know. I think you've got
put waterproof shoes on for the snow. Yeah, I think so. I've got another. Do you want another little
issue out with Rose? Yeah, this please. Yeah. We had dinner and it was snowing outside the window. It was spectacular. Lovely. And I said we should go and crunch in the snow after this. Yeah. Yeah. Is that a you can't a the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the snow after this. Yeah. Is that a euphemism or walk?
That's not the way for this.
That Friday feeling, crunching up.
Quick crunch up.
Have you ever crunched in the snow?
I can't imagine anything worse.
No, the absolute.
The, I tell you what, you want to go on top when you're crunching in the snow and that's for sure. I think the Louvre would freeze on your dick and that's horrible. Look like tempting, look like I've been dipped in ice in. Um anyway, sorry. Sorry.
No, that I thought about it. Carry on. So what for a walk in the snow? Like, yeah. She didn't want
to go out because it was too cold in the evening. She's by the time we went for the wall, Rob. We just wanted a
little wand around the hotel in the evening. I just wanted to crunch in the snow, Rob.
Can't you crunch on your own? Well it was quite cold. We had a lovely time anyway. We walked
to the end of the golf course. The cafe was closed and then we had to walk back. Oh, the half hours in your little rubby shoes. In my little rubby shoes. I had a
massage, lovely. Yeah. My first issue with massages Rob, is when you finish the
massage and you're relaxed and they go straight into doing the big cell
about... Oh about like these are the best things for your skin, yeah. And you're like,
mate, I'm fucking sat here topless, I'm trying to relax. I've just had an hour's worth of relaxation.
Now I'm basically in the body shop being given the big sale.
What are they trying to say?
Your protein shakes.
What?
What?
It's been a lovely, you know what?
you know what? It's been a lovely, do you know
what, it's been pretty stress-free. This is such a good Christmas, Rob. Why? The ages are
so good. Yeah. That I'm already worrying about the passing of time. And yes, I think you just have to
block it out and then accept that once they are older,
you can do different things at this time of year.
Well, when I was doing Roman Day, one of the kids come up to us in front of all the other
kids and said, I don't believe in Santa, it's not real, your parents do it, my parents have
told me.
Yeah. Do you know what I did? Yeah. Spatting her ears and Edbiter.
Some things like, I won't get you far.
No, I just said, oh don't you, well I believe in him.
The same way some people believe in Jesus.
Some people don't.
Some people are Hindu, some people aren't.
Some people are seek.
Everyone believes in different things.
And then the girl was like, I'm Hindu and oh really my friend's Hindu as well, yeah. And we started chatting about Hinduism for a bit. And I'll tell you what, Paskinesh ain't got a lot.
It's called Romesh.
I wonder why he keeps looking at me funny.
Yeah, I'm worried about the passing of time. It's bad, Rob.
Just try and block it out really. Have you got much Christmas, you've got lapped with them
in Ascot. We're doing so much. What Christmas stuff you got lined up? We're going to, the
Eltham Christmas lights. But it was cancelled. Yeah, but it was canceled due to bad weather. So you've had to reschedule that. When is it? the weather, the weather, the weather, the weather, to. to. the weather, to. to. the weather, to. to. to. to. the weather, to. to. the weather, to. to. to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to. to. to. to. to. to, to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to, to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the. the. thea. thea. the the thea. the thea. thea. tha. toooooooooooooomeck. tooomeck. the. too. to reschedule that.

We're doing loads of Christmassy stuff, Rob.
We're doing Panto.
We're going to the circus, not incredibly Christmassy.
We didn't do enough last year.
I don't know if you remember, last year was my eight days in the park in the row,
so I'm trying to trying to... What do you mean for in your defense, like I gave a lot of shit for that,
however when you've got a really young kid and they love it, it's sometimes
whatever's the easiest thing to do is you what you do.
Now he's a bit older, you can go let's go circus it because it's fun rather than just
ball like so you're making up for it. Well I'm looking forward to hear in the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. the th. to to the to to the the thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi to thi thi thi thi thi thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi thi thi. thi thi thi. thi. thi. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to thi. thi. to thi. thi. ti. ty ty ty ty tryeeea try ty try ty try try try ty try thi ty thi thi thi thi trips out Josh.

Oh, that's a lot of fun. That's a lot of fun. Yeah, and I need to see this. Maybe we could squeeze in a little pizza express. Oh, yes, yes, please. That's please. Yes, please. Yes, please. Yes, please. Yes, please. Yes, please. Yes, please. Yes, please. Yes, please. Yes, please. Yes, that's, please.

Yes, I'll be screaming in your daughter.
Actually your daddy picked Margarita.
So you can kiss that spag bowl goodbye, little.
Rob, I've already planned my new year and it's low key.
What's your low key?
Going for dinner at Friends.
Josh, we do nothing for New Year.
I've got no, no part of me.
I think maybe, the only thing I could do eventually is,
I might start throwing parties at my house for New Year's Eve
when the kids are a bit older and I couldn't be bothered.
But at the moment, I Day is fucking shit. We had a party last year and you're starting the New Year, cleaning up cans.
Yeah, but I fundamentally, we've spoken about this a lot, hate anyone that says on the
first of January I'm going to do this.
Do it now or you'll never do it.
No, no, I'm not saying changing.
I hate that whole New Year culture of New Year, New Me.
No, fuck that, same year, same you.
I have a change now or never change.
I agree, but you just, it's just shit when you wake up and your house is a fucking tip.
Totally agree.
So, I might rule that out, but do you have to tell what else has been, and maybe it's because I've
been tired this week and not well, but you know what I hate in the moment,
it's just a flick on Instagram,
I go on the stories, and I see these grinning twats
that are either telling you how to live your life with
the amount of middle age men I'm seeing
and getting ice baths,
fuck up, I don't need. chicken bodies, getting in and out of bath tubs because you're trying to prove something to yourself you lunatic. The other ones, van life whankers, oh I live in
a van now and I've got a dog and I cook eggs on the side of a cliff. Oh fucking
who cares jump off it as far as I care. Oh look at it. Well fuck it feels that
good would you spend all your day editing videos about it? What are you're following to the algorithm? they the the they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they're they're they're they're they're their their their their their their their their their their their their their. I'm their. I their their. I'm their. I'm their. I'm their. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm their. I're their. I their. I. I. I. I I their. I I I. I I. I I. I their. I. I I their. I their. I their. I their. I th. I th. I th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm thi coming from. It's just an algorithm, telling me, I think I'm moaning a lot, so I think my algorithm's
telling me to get in an ice bath and live in a van.
That screams to me homelessness and no central eating.
The thought of, I'm not up for living in a van.
I don't mind ice baths. I'm thinking about getting one because I enjoy the sensation. When I go to
spas or gyms or any place that has them, I really like doing them. No problem with that.
Keep it to your fucking self. That's all I ask. Don't tell me about it. Don't film it.
How does it work? If you've got an ice bath? Is it constantly an icy bath? Yeah, so as you leave it in the tub thing and you inflatable tub thing and you can put ice and water in it and you put a bit of
chlorine in it I think to stop it going all weird and dirty. But then you're
basically getting it after a workout for a workout because it basically, it's good
for your mind because in that five minutes have been in the ice part, it's theyme. It's almost forcing you to me, I, I, I, I, I, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, I, I, it, I, I, I, I, and, I, I, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is. And, is. And, is, is a. And, is a. And, is a. And, and, and, and, and, to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to meditate because all you can think about is breathing because you're so cold and it does have health benefits where it repairs, cells and all that bollocks. Fine, I'm not disputing
that, but you don't need to tell anyone you normally do at home? Shreddy's in a sinkwash.
Flanning up the armpit, wipe the ass.
Get back at it.
Get on that gulchals.
I had a crunch.
But everything, apart from the jacuzzi.
their crunch.
Right.
Right.
So me and Rose, we had a acuzzi. And then we were like, we'll go in the sauna and then we got
out of sink and we were like meet back in the jacuzzi and then I went back to
the jacuzzi she wasn't there and I couldn't contact her so I went back I did a
bit more sauna. That's a that's a annoying because you want to be in with your partner, right? Yeah and so basically we were cut off from each and then there was a steam room and then
there was a relaxation room and then there was a cold shower room and you remember
all these things but you could only meet at the jacuzzi and whenever I went
back to the jacuzzi she was never there. I didn't have been a house.
Are you sure she's not leaving you? I'll meet you back at a jacuzzi.
Sure.
I had to go up to one of the women that were there
and say, could I get a message?
Can I get a message to the other side?
Could you pass a message onto the blonde woman who's called Rose? Ithink it will be in the sauna or the steam room or somewhere to tell her I'll
meet her back at the hotel room because this is...
I've given up.
I can't, I can't relax in the saunas.
I can't relax in the saunas because I'm always thinking, the message did I
the message get to get to her, yeah. But I couldn't relax, Rob. Because the whole time I was thinking,
do I need to be back in the jacuzzi to meet Rose?
I do find sometimes, when I go to,
if I'm away like a spa place,
if I'm in the right mood,
it's the best place ever,
but sometimes I'm literally just doing it, spa hotel and not do everything. So okay have I done enough in it right next one? Have I done it? Well actually I probably would prefer just going to sleep in my bed in the room.
Yes, yeah, totally. But we had a lovely time. It was an incredible place.

Hi, I wanted to write about my husband's new business.
This year my husband created Tom's tennis tots.
He leads tennis-based classes for two to four-year-olds and their parents that focus on developing your child's skills
in a number of areas, including hand-eye coordination,
moving patterns and social capabilities
through storytelling.
All content is created based on physical development,
not statuitchy guidance for EYFS,
don't know what that means.
So you can be assured that your child is receiving the most up up up up up up up up up up the most the most thian thian thian thian thian thi thi thi thi th means. So you can be assured that your child is receiving the most up-to-date and relevant teaching. Tom is a level 3 LTA, that's the Law and Tennis Association,
EYFS is early years foundation stage. Ah there we go, tennis coach and
qualified PE, that's physical education, teacher and has been working within coaching
and education for over 10 years. The first set of sessions are in a village near Farringdon. There can't be Farrington in London, is it? Probably not.
But it's looking to add more sessions across Oxfordshire, as the demand grows, Oxfordshire
it is. So if you're interested and want more details about Tom's, tennis, tots, follows
social media page, Instagram, Tom's, tennis, tots, Facebook, toms with an apostrophe tennis tots. There's no apostrophies on Instagram.
The link to book onto classes can be found on either his pages.
Thank you, stay sexy and relatable.
