I don't know, like shit, and it affected her, obviously, but I think this, I don't know, it happened three months ago, she got over it in a few days, this one has hit her a bit harder, reminding her, and it's strange why it didn't work, to be honest, it's strange, so she's looking at the clinic, maybe they're not good enough, they didn't do it this way, which clinic did you go to? It's just an ACU, it's called, Assisted Conception Unit, you've been there all the time, they go, I don't know, without problem, but some of it's nature,

isn't it, you can't, yeah, exactly, I mean, look at Vitaly and Larissa, they're trying to, obviously, that doesn't work, it's one of those things, you know, I had a couple of friends, and they had their first boy, I mean, their only boy, even now, he's about 11 now, they had him naturally, like, first time they tried, everything worked perfectly, he was born perfectly, on time and everything, and then they wanted to try a couple of years later, they tried and tried and tried and tried, it's a really weird thing, and they didn't, and they tried the thingy, IVF, yeah, and nothing worked with them, it's weird, yeah, and the doctor said, they tried IVF, I think, about four or five times, and it didn't work, once they went to Austria, once they went to Germany, because they were saying, oh, Romania's crap, and the doctor in Germany, they had the last two in Germany, the doctor in Germany said, okay, well, he says, you know, you're wasting your money, and bear in mind, I think they were in their mid-thirties, when they were, when they stopped to try, the thing is, it's, it's a really complex

area of medicine, and IVF means making the embryo, that bit is a hard bit, usually, and for us, that was easy, the next bit, put it back in the woman, and hopefully, the womb takes it, and then it turns into a kid, and that had always gone fine, because this two times, it didn't go in, so she says, oh, it's because I'm old, but actually, the interesting thing about that, if you, what matters, it doesn't matter how old the woman is, you have post-menopausal women, 58 years old, having babies, like, and freaky stuff like that, because they used an embryo that was donated, and what matters is how old the mother was, when they took the eggs, she was only 33 or something, that was not, that's not old, and all the embryos are the same, we've got proof that one of them was, and they're all from the same batch, so it's weird, yeah, we're not having to do all that again, that may or may not work, where they're trying the eggs, so these women are freezing the eggs now, when they're like 30, if they haven't got married and stuff, so they can keep them for life, you know how that, people doing that, there's a big trend, like, in America, like, if they're not married when they're 30, because the chance of a healthy baby decreases after 30, but they get the, they have the eggs extracted, they freeze them, and then when they find the right man, they make the embryo there in the lab. And there's also some weird stuff now, and, you know, there's those surrogates as well, because they asked us, now you've got one, if you don't, want to use them, can we give one of your embryos to somebody else who can't conceive? And they would take an embryo with my and her blood, and put it in, give it to someone who can't conceive, or a lesbian couple or something, and they would have a baby, she would give birth to it, but it would be genetically our baby, it would be like a, genetically, brother or sister for Anna, but it would be born out of a lesbian. Would you agree to that? No. Would you? They got, they got 11 vials of sperm. 11 tubes full of sperm for me. You've been busy. I was, I did it all, they did it with a fucking needle. Really? Oh, that was the worst thing ever. How the fuck can they do that? Well, I have a lot of sperm, it just doesn't come out. You know, people have a, I didn't tell you about this before. You know, like if you say, I don't want to have any more kids, but I want to sleep around, you get the operation, vasectomy, and they cut the tube, they carry it. For some reason, I was born without that tube. Really? So I was like, if I knew that when I was like 18, you know what I mean? I cannot impregnate a woman naturally. And you would go crazy. But, but, inside the balls is millions of sperm, like normal. Actually, they were top grade, like, but they've blocked, there's no path out, and they can't reverse it surgically. They can do, like, an operation. So how did they take you out with syringes? You need three, three or four? Five. Fucking hell. A needle, and not a small one, into the balls. Oh my God. You know, if I kick you in the balls hard enough, you'll still feel it in two days, yeah? Yeah. Imagine I put a massive needle in it three times, and suck out the inside. Fuck me, bro. Jesus Christ. I had a lot of medical procedures on this end, but I didn't know about the ones down that end. That wasn't good. That was not good. Jesus. I felt it for weeks. I can imagine. But at the time, I was like, ah, get ready, because it's not good. It's not going to be nice. You're awake. They just give you gas and air. I was fine. It wasn't, like, that bad. But then, you know, you go and get dressed in the other room now, and you come out of the operating theatre, and you're off the gas and air, and they've given you, like, morphine and stuff. What do you call it? Fentanyl. It's like heroin, through the drip. Fentanyl? Fentanyl, yeah. Oh, wow. What do you mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I had that a few times. They give me fentanyl every time they put a camera in my stomach. Oh, man. I love it. But it leaves a bit of a hangover. I can imagine. Yeah. Yeah, it's a strong stuff. But they flush it afterwards, still. Yes.

Are you okay?

Huh?

You want it?

Have you been running on it or not?

Yeah.

Why is this grass all green when the grass in front of our house is all white? Do you think they've been watering it? There might have been.

What do you want, Jessica? She just wants the K-pop Demon Hunters.

Is that what you want? You're not even in your bedroom right now. Yeah, you're outside now.

I just want to find that.

Have you watched K-pop Demon Hunters? Did you? How do you know you like it?

How do you know you like it if you haven't watched it? Because I like it.

But Jessica, you might watch something different and like that too. And you might want your bedroom with that stuff.

No. Yeah, because I might not even have a demon bedroom anymore. I could have a Toy Story one. I could have a Peppa Pig one. I could have a Paw Patrol one.

Bluey?

Bluey, yeah. But I want a Demon Hunters one. You know, if you say that, you might change your mind when you have it. I won't.

Because I know what's in my head.

Amalia.

What I want in my head.

Shall we go back and we go to Milhouse's Park and you can play on the slides and stuff?

Yeah.

Yeah? Do you want to do that? I think that's a bit more kid's friendly. Anna, do you want to do that?

Let me take a picture of you right there though first.

Oh, Jessica.

Anna. Jessica, do you know what day it is? Jessica, do you know what day it is?

No. Sunday.

Yeah. Do you know what that means? It's Sunday, Jessica.

So what?

All the shops are closed. No, I don't go to a shop. I buy it online. Well, it definitely won't come today. Let's go. It's not going to come today. I know.

Let's go.

I don't want to.

So what do you want to do then? Fly?

Do you know the songs from K-pop Demon Hunters? Jessica, can you sing me how it's done? The songs from K-pop Demon Hunters. Do you know them?

How it's done?

Your mommy and daddy are lucky. I don't know. Okay, because you don't know them.

Jessica, we're going home. The car is not in front. I don't know. Okay, so you have two options. We're going home or you stop this nonsense. Because I haven't got time for you all day.

You have to decide. There's no playground here, no? No. So what do you want to do? Just to feel.

It's your choice. If you want to come to the park, you come now. But if not, we're going home.

All right. Okay, then decide. No. Okay. Let's go to our car then, Anna. I'll park up there. Yeah? The park. Okay. Okay. Millhouse's Park. Yeah. See you there.

Ready? Wait.

What's up?

Jessica.

Jessica. Yeah, I've just got all that wood from your desk. It's going to be tricky. I mean... I can't fit you because I've got all this stuff in it.

What do you mean? Unless you sit in the front. But I don't know.

I'm going in the front.

You've got some...

I've got no... I've got all the wood that I made Anna's desk with. What about if Anna comes with you in my car? Do you want to do that?

It's just I came with her yesterday.

I know, but I haven't got room. I can... If I move that stuff in the front... Yeah, we can sort it. We'll sort it. Yeah. No problem. Yeah, yeah. Don't worry. Don't worry.

We're always going...

No.

No.

We're going behind the house.

I don't mean like change your mind into... Oh. ...a different room. I mean like if you say you've got it, then you just know, you just think you've got it, and when you get it, all you have to do is stop saying it because you've got it, and you don't need to say you've got it, you've got it. And then you're still saying it to everybody. They say it when you have not... Like, if you're having a chat, like... ...ing it in a middle of your sentence when you're like speaking... How do you do that? so we don't know what to do. Yeah, you might go, I've got it! Maybe I should just really tell you.

Yeah, you're going to see it and you have to wait while I mow it.

Yeah, can I do it?

On the back is a lot of mess.

Yeah!

Excuse me.

What is the wood?

That's on the desk, the other half.

Yeah, that's the other half of the desk. So it was...

You saw the desk, didn't you?

Chop the wood up.

You chopped it in half?

Yeah, you chopped the wood in half so we could have what we wanted. What is that?

It's an empty bottle top.

Pinky! Where's Pinky?

I don't have Pinky. Who's got Pinky?

Wait, wait. Jessica, do you know that...

I'm worried now, where's Pinky?

What are you... Yeah, I've got it in my car. Look.

Who's going in the seat?

That's in Mummy's car. Let me get that one out of the way. I'll clip him down. So I press this one and then he bounces and comes down. No, actually, boat and this. Yeah. What is this? That's to put her seatbelt on. How do we even put the seatbelt on?

Where is Pinky? Is she at home?

Yeah, she's at home. Oh, thank goodness. What is that? It's just... It's scratching me a lot here. Even though... It doesn't work. What? So I...

I think Grandma made it for you.

Yeah.

You made it with Grandma today.

You're going to need a jet on this. You won't. You want one and you need a jet on it, OK? A jet? Yeah.

For Jessica.

For Jessica. One. Unique. Unique.

Unique one starts with an O.

Yeah, that's to put the seatbelt on.

How do we get out? Is it this way?

In case...

Oh, look, a red carpet. Can you see the red carpet?

Yeah. There's a... The red carpet.

It's a wedding for John and Caroline, it says. And here's the... Look, they're having it in. They're doing photos of them after the wedding. They've got married. They've got married.

Yeah. Sorry. Can you do that in your mummy's car and daddy's car?

Ah. And now, it doesn't work.

Switch the off, yeah? Turn it back on.

It's on.

You should do it.

No, it's on. Is this where you parked, all the way down here?

Yeah.

Oh, my goodness.

No, we couldn't... How?

See you at the park.

See you at the park.

Barking like a dog. Woof, woof.

OK.

Can I put my hand out? Yeah. I won't. You might get chopped off.

I'm just joking. I promise, I won't.

I wouldn't do that to you. You're so silly. Am I silly?

Yeah, but...

Who's more silly? Me or your daddy?

And I think you.

I'm more silly? Yeah. Yeah, but I'm not silly enough to chop your arm off. Is that true? Am I silly, Anna?

Yeah.

Am I silly, Anna? A bit.

A bit. Oh, my gosh, it's a park.

What's a park?

It's the wind catching it.

And the wind's making that thing blowing behind you.

What's it doing?

Because the window's here, it's stopped, yeah. It's stopped already. Because the wind was going through. So if one window's closed, it can't go through. Both of the windows on the right.

I am in Jessica's.

That's right. Right for writing, left for lefting. Croft Road. Croft Road. Croft Road. I'm in the school.

Croft Road. Stop Croft.

Stop Croft Road.

Is it really? I hope we don't get lost.

I hope you don't get lost again, Amelia. Get away. So we'll find you easily. Yeah. And if we can't find you, we'll press the button and make the trackers beep.

Yeah, mine can beep with my daddy.

I know. And if the trackers beep, then you just stay still and we'll find you instead of moving. Yeah? Because if we're both looking, if you're looking for us and we're looking for you, that's how we get there. We don't want to get lost.

So, I know. Yeah, we did.

Yeah. I know which way you went. You showed us yesterday.

No, we didn't.

You did. And you explained it over and over again. I know. I was very clear on it.

You did. No, we only went halfway through.

I know, but you told us. I did. I did.

Oh, my gosh.

So which K-pop song does Jessica want to hear? What's the best one, Anna?

I don't think the one from the movie.

The one from the movie? Yeah.

Yeah, I know.

They're all from the movie.

Do you want to hear Takedown? No, the one from the movie.

Hey Siri, play Takedown by... No, no. Okay. Okay, which one do you want? I can sing you that one. You'll sing it in the park for now while we're in the car. We'll listen to it on the radio. Yeah. Hey Siri, play What It Sounds Like from K-pop Demon Hunters. Now playing this is What The Gospel Sounds Like, a podcast on... No, this is the wrong thing. ...Hunters on Apple Podcasts. Never mind, let's go. We'll listen to it after.

Everybody's arriving now.

You're coming out carefully. Jessica, come on, careful because it's the road. Oh yeah. Are these not your sunglasses? Oh yeah, they are. You had them after all. Help, help. Yeah. Play in the park. Wait here, I'm getting the camera.

Girls, look at me. That's a good one.

Let's see the funny one.

Hang on, hang on. One more. Stand there next to the wall. Stand there, one more.

Let's see the funny. Let's see the funny ones. Let's see. Can we zoom in?

What's that one?

Can we zoom in?

We can't. This camera, you can't really see them like that.

You have to look at them when they get on the computer. But I'll do them when I send them to you so you can see them. I know. I was there. I remember. I was there. Just don't run away and get lost again, please. Still, I don't want you to get lost. That's just in case.

Try this one. Let's try a good one.

Oh, I'll tell you what, I'm going to sit down on it.

I'm not strong, I'm just heavy.

Faster, faster. You okay? Yeah.

Oh, I'm dizzy already.

You forgot.

I'm already dizzy. You're dizzy?

Oh, sorry, I stopped it. Why? Catch the bad guy. I'm so dizzy now. I'm not heavy.

Is this your train to New York?

Where's the rest of the gang?

Oh, you're joking. I'm going to break you like that. Do you want me to spin it a bit?

No, both of you. You okay? Yeah.

I think it's broken.

Yeah, since we got on it.

It's rumbling a lot. We've been on this one for ages.

We've already been on New York. We can spin it again.

Ready?

We did this one yesterday.

There's lots of other things we can do. Why don't you go in the water park and get all wet? No, we have to do this. Oh. I thought you might want to go and get all wet.

No. No, because I don't want to get all wet.

Don't you?

No.

Me neither.

Oh, look at him.

Too fast?

No, it's all right. And are you good? Yeah.

You sure? You're feeling dizzy. Now the other way. Now the other way.

Yeah.

What?

Rumbling. Rumbling.

Wait, I just started doing it.

It's like a walk. We're making a star fry. Oh, my goodness. I thought the idea of the playground is you spend on it, you and we rest. You guys won't play on the normal thing. Come on. Well, you did this one yesterday. You haven't been on that. You had enough?

Yeah, I had enough.

Had enough? Yeah, there's lots of other things to do. It's okay. No, I'm tired of spinning it as well. That's why we came to the playground. No, go on those. Climb on those.

He's got the moon. He's got the sea.

Ah. I'll join you. To finish our earlier conversation, in the end, they've got 11 tubes full of sperm. So I never have to do it again. Even if I want to make a baby with somebody else, the sperm is in the freezer. So it's got loads. Yeah, loads. Do you have to pay to have it now? Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no. It was free of charge for me, though. And I pay, I don't know, a couple of hundred pounds a year to store the sperm. And we pay a couple of hundred pounds a year to store the embryos that we made. And, yeah, it's all good. That other camera was good, though, wasn't it? I put it on the computer, and basically you can watch the whole video. And at any point in it, you can turn it around. Like, if you've got a 3D headset, you can do that. And then when you click where you want it to be at each point, if you want to, like, track an object or track a dog or a child, like, touch Jessica on it, and then it'll follow her all the time, even if she's going round and round you. It's really good. It's really good, yeah. The quality's good. It was, yeah. Because this one's good, too, for pictures I started. Getting into it, but it's like, we realised when my granddad died, and we got all the photos and videos. From his house, like, from me being young, there was loads of videos throughout, didn't you? But in those days, you had to get a big camera that was expensive, and paper was expensive, and to make a point of doing it. And now, for Anna, we've got 10 million photos, but most of them are rubbish. And lots of very short clips, but no, like, wrong ones. Like, every birthday party and stuff like that, from when I was about seven. And from my brother being a baby, you've got, like, a two-hour video of the whole event. And we don't have that for her, anything. We just have... Like, we have millions of photos, but they don't really... You don't get the feeling of what it was. Like, when she's 40, and she wants to watch her childhood,

she's just got all these phone photos that are, like, average quality. So, that's why I start doing, like, long videos when we ride to the park or something. I keep them. He's upside down.

Did you manage to eat? Yeah, yeah, just the pizza. I went to Osman and got some meat. Because we talked about doing a barbecue, but then she wasn't bothered about eating. And I had a mirror test call, and so... We just... Stick it in the fridge. So, what are you going to do? Are you going to do the meat tonight when you go in? No, because I just do it Pedro style. Without any preparation? I can't eat it tonight. We'll eat it tomorrow. Oh, it's going to rain, isn't it? I'll do something with it. I do it Pedro style, just salt, bay leaf. No marinade. It's perfect. Perfect and hot. Hot cooking. For most men, they come and buy it all with the marinade. I got some marinated chicken. Not lamb. I don't know if they do lamb. Maybe they do. But I just got some lamb rump already cubed. I just don't like going in there. It's everybody I know is in that fucking Osman. How is the business? A bit annoying. Why? Up and down, that guy, he's leaving us. I mean, we're going to... We're getting rid of him. Started talking. Huh? Who? Which guy? The business partner. Okay. He's very selfish. He's not the partner anyway. He's the same one. I thought you said he's gone out. I thought you said he's gone out a while ago. He did, but he was still working like as a salesman, kind of like commercial manager. But he's too selfish. He spends the time doing his own business. And he's got loads of cash and he's trying to gain on things to make opportunities for himself to us. And it's not right. Okay. Well, we started something new with pizza sauce. Which pizza sauce? Pizza sauce. Okay. My dad's got a deal. It goes back a long way, but we started a new contract now. I'm going to bring 12 container loads. And he's got people to buy it. That's the exciting thing. That's where the money comes from. The rest of it just passes the day.

Do you still have people that come in daily?

Yeah, not much. But delivery is a lot. Delivery is a lot. It's too much competition for people who walk in.

Because they just go around all the cash and carries and buy what is cheapest in each place. So if we put an offer out and we sell pizza flour, pizza, we sell loads, but for nothing. So there's no point. So I'm not bothered.

It is all right. We're just spending about 90,000 on pizza sauce. Where is it coming from? Portugal. Really? And the guy invited us to go on Tuesday. But I can't go right now. For a tour of the farms and the factory and all that. It would have been really nice. Near Lisbon, apparently.

Okay. We've been dealing with them for years and years. But we like Stephanie. My dad's been working on finding distributors up and down the country. Okay. We make a couple of pounds of each tin.

There's about 4,000 tins in Lisbon. It's in a container. It's good business. And it's stress-free. Just phone calls. Yeah. But everything just keeps getting expensive.

Yeah, man. Well, like everywhere else.

I was saying, like, even France is as expensive as here. I know. I was talking with Amalia about that. My brother says the same. Like, he reckon, though. Well, as a tourist, you don't pay rent. You don't pay electric bills, stuff like that. You pay restaurant and supermarket. Yeah. He reckons that, yeah, the supermarket is more expensive than Hastings, where he lives in England. But the rent is about half. And they're paying, I don't know what you say, they're paying like 500 euros. Okay. But they could have spent much less for the massive apartment with two balconies in the nice area overlooking the river in the medieval center of the town. Like, top of the range flat, quite big. And it's only 500 euros a month to rent. And fuel a bit cheaper, a little bit cheaper. Yeah. I don't know about that. Just the food is a bit more, but all the bills, the water, the gas, and the electric oil that comes in the flat, it's about a quarter of what they're paying for the house in England. So, you know what I mean? And the salaries are quite a bit higher in Toulouse. Like, she's working there, compared to when she was working in Brighton and previously in London. It's more like a London salary than an outside London salary in the UK. So, it was the main reason to go. Like, it was a good job.

Yeah. Yeah.

Every day, at the end of the day, it's... even if it's expensive but you're earning the money, then you still die out. Like, disposable income down there is much higher. But they're in a mess, because they're paying mortgage on the house in England. And they can't rent it out or sell it. Why? Well, they can but they want to live in it for like 4 months or so, summer. They started doing that, room by room only. And they've got a girl who's lodged it. Yeah. renting one room and they've got a dog but they don't take the dog to france just the cats i don't know why so she looks after the dog it's all complex but they spent years renovating this house building an extension everything's here wow and the day that they completed it is the day they're renting like the week that they finished doing all the renovation that's when she started the new job in france spin around again and i started selling um ai telephone agents to my customers so when people phone up the kebab shop to order a kebab ai takes the order and they pay me 40 pounds a month it's another new thing what about you going well it's good yeah we were pretty busy and uh we got funding so they just finished all the paperwork now and we should get the money by private funding private funding yeah oh yeah last time we talked about you were going for a council or something oh and you were going for the low car parking parking lot program yeah we've got it you've got it all yeah very good

we've got it we've had since like may and june was so busy like honestly like even july august was a bit steady but you don't manage them you just supply the equipment and buy the technology in the software which is which is the best right because that's what we used to do before

so someone else's job so do you work with companies who manage the car parks or do you so we work with people who manage the parking places with their property so we run the parking lot and then we work with the local city center private parking oscillators like shopping centers they don't operate their own car park either they've got a management

company for it and then they got the security so that the security on site does with the parking you just sell them the tools and the equipment to manage it yeah and then we've got a system going in like a bespoke system we developed for so we put in a new system in there it's like a holiday place it's like a it's actually quite nice when I went out to do the survey it's got like a big lake and all these holiday homes and then it's got like a bar with a swimming pool as well

the entry and exit then like people have got a caravan or something and they check in, check out

mostly it's like people can buy those houses so they have free parking so they have a separate lane and it works on a wireless but then they want to charge they always wanted to charge but somebody sold them like a really crap system so every visitor is 5 quid they said like throughout the summer they've got about 3,800 visitors

no they pay 5 quid to the company who manages the system no no no

they charge 5 quid Tarlington Lake charges 5 quid for every visitor 3,800 visitors over the summer just through the peak so their peak period is summer so that's only through summer so they do have them

3,800 cars or 3,800 pounds? 3,800 cars

so it's worth having a system plus we make money out of the payments as well so we make about in Tarlington Lake I think after we pay the acquiring fees and gateways and everything else we make about 5% per transaction so as big as the ATV is better for us I guess which that's why we like lorry parks because the ATV on a lorry park is 70 quid they're always full 5% up to 70 quid is quite a bit very nice yeah I think you know it's and the investors like that that side of the business as well you know investors don't really like you know if you were just selling the equipment and making profit on the equipment it's they don't really like

no there's a lock in there and there's a subscription like it's

so they like the reoccurring revenue you know the subscription based model yeah makes sense

makes sense

yeah but we've had quite to be honest it was quite good because you know we had quite a good time we had quite a few offers in we had I think about five or six so we had mezzanine from those banks VC as well the VC wanted they just wanted too much equity so you gave up some equity no no no so we kind of gave so basically we went with a loan interest loan and then they've got 8% interest which is quite good and then they take 5% off so basically we wanted to fund the business for the next three years because after the next three years Ashley will retire and relax in the business and Jeremy relax in the business as well so the plan is that that's where this this foundation is still yeah so we have obviously we need to reach you know you know a certain level and but then they said that they're happy to to support us through a management buyout for us to buy them out and then you know they get paid as well but then we start a new contractual arrangement with them as part of their management buyout which I think that that would work out quite good for us as well because it's less taxable you know when you do a management buyout it's not so much it's better for the people selling their shares as well and for us as well because basically you know the staff would buy them out and we own all the shares

well but Ashley wants to leave it completely or he wants to retain the share

it's just like oh yeah I might or might not and whatever but I just I said to Lewis to his son I said to the other partners as well I'd rather at that point you know they're either in or out I don't you know it's not half and half it's not doing much now anyways anyway how old is he what 56 not too old to have energy yeah I know but now he started buying property he wants to enjoy his life and doing that and he's travelling you know so I'd rather him just retire you know if I have to have a conversation with him I don't mind it yeah and what you'll stay in it or you'll no no I'll definitely stay that's why I said to you the other day probably my moving away down the drain because not forever no no not forever for sure but I'd say next three years definitely not and if we manage to do a management buyout probably we need another three to five years to turn into a business something that you can make profit profit profit on the exit probably exit then and in the meantime probably we're going to start looking to buy a new house in the new year okay and just move out

yeah because you've got at least like you said at least five six years you're not going anywhere you've got time to enjoy the house even if you don't stay around here

and buy something bigger something nicer and you know you make big profits you're doing

they just moved in next door to us they just moved into that house next door to us and uh it's famous the guy famous yeah he's in the right circles he's famous yeah you had enough are you pretending yeah he's a go on they're so good when they're together yeah he's a he's a published author he's published books about uh just put your feet down of course you can uh maybe you read one of his books maybe you read it's called responding to god's call but he used to be like the third in charge of the church of england the thing and he lived in he was working in westminster he was uh he's on the board of the church like they have to pick the new one yeah he's met the king met the queen and all that uh yeah he seems to be very very friendly very warm but very like you would expect a christian no he started watering the plants and all that they're all they did it the the workers from the cathedral came and did it they cleaned they built a shed and they pulled everything out but it's just like a dozen now yeah he's a celebrity in the church so i was on a vip he's worked with the government the king the archbishop of this and that he met the pope many times when he came to the weapon must be shit lords i don't know but it's different because the it's not like the classic ones because they got yeah he's got wife except him too i think she's a teacher or something yeah she looks she talks like a teacher she just seems like a teacher no english ones they uh you get that but they're not it's not that they're like that because they're they're normal people they just really love religion and god and weather same orthodox ones they're marrying that kids don't they it's only catholics they attract freaks because it's it's an excuse isn't it why didn't the baby oh it's only baby ones no no i was saying why didn't the baby ones but the big ones are taken

i was gonna go on the bike today but and when i woke up i was all achy because when i went to look for them i went so fast i got ready i watched the video back from my cell phone and then yeah i told her about it

what did she say she wasn't happy it was my fault it doesn't matter you're responsible it's your fault or your fault okay so and she was like she lost her son i think here in past

she was telling me about it

in my opinion yeah oh yeah they argued and anna was hiding in the bushes and she was looking for her for like more than half an hour

it can't happen to anyone i lost her son in the bushes that's what i thought that's what i did yeah i thought yeah yeah

i mean that's good but suzanna hasn't got an iphone so she can't see it that's the only thing

you could get them that work for all phones but not as good is it because that definitely at least one of those people has got an iphone

they should really be in the house

yeah

it's just privacy isn't it they're using different technology as well

they're not even different technology they're just encoded people they're not

people

but i did another thing i got because you know i got like fleet tracker for all vehicles

and you can put a client on a phone so it also acts as a tracker for the fleet tracking system that i made and i got a tiny little mobile phone the kind of people smuggling in and out of prisons and i put that on it and i attached that to a bike when we went in the countryside and i put walkie talkie app on it like we had walkie talkie when we walked in so we could use the phones of walkie talkie and that was quite effective and i could see where she was from the phone that she was carrying but that depends on having signal phone signal so when you're in the peak district it wasn't good same problem with that though that wouldn't work without signal if the phone that can see it doesn't know what it is it doesn't help that's why the walkie talkies are the best way really the morning is raining and they said that no they've cancelled it again same as today maybe a bit cloudy no it's alright it's alright

you need to swing her

no but she was swinging you and now you can swing her

no but i can't do as high as she wants

look there's a there's a bigger one free now

bigger one

yeah there's one oh no that lady's getting on it what about that one look that that boy's getting off the double one you can go on the double you haven't been listening to kpop all day every day then kpop demon hunter fucking hell

and she put alexa play this alexa but you see jessica never never played those songs at home and like she asked me to put it on she told me the name for it she asked me to put it in the holiday and she knew it so i don't know

where it's from one of the songs even i recognized maybe it was on the radio yeah one is definitely golden yeah that's definitely but this was another one yeah i didn't know any of the others i don't know where it started from maybe esme or one of the girls talks about kpop and at first she watched it and she was like she shits herself it was scary demons and monsters and all that and then now we just and it's pissing me off because she's like alexa play kpop demon hunters play this song play that song and it's on my music account apple music i get in the car and it starts playing

kpop demon hunters all day anna anna you can get on it now she might need lifting on it okay so i don't know

i'll get you off

there we've done it that way now we'll swap yeah ready to swap

okay

i'll help you out

hey i can get out myself

you said you can't you're getting in this side

whoa

let me get anna in first you don't want to get in okay maybe this girl wants to get in okay we're gonna take it in turns jessica did it now anna will do yeah you don't you've just been on that one yes but you can't i don't want that i don't want that no you should see each other that's why it's funny there you see is that good that one's really for all children and that one's for grown-ups you know that yeah so what if i just sit to my left and you go with me should we do that i don't think you'll both fit in there well you want to both sit in that side you're not gonna fit in there come on you can't fit in there you can't both fit in there you must be joking is that high enough or do you want to go higher higher huh see no okay i think this little girl wants to go on it too you want to go in it you want to swap anybody want to swap like she i don't want to swap i'm getting nearly finished anyway because i'm getting tired should we go this way yeah yeah i'll get you out there you go there you go it's all yours go go go go go go go go and for god's sake if they can't agree who's going to fit on which side then they both get cross how is their poker going to be when they both get cross? 13, 14 or more like what away from jessica or away from anna? away from everything

i think i'll be joining you at this rate gonna move in a fucking bungalow i'll be joining you at that rate at this rate so what's the honest plan now? i don't know just to be strappy for a few minutes nah it should be all right it should be all right so i don't know are you are you minding that or you just

yeah i don't know it's fine i'm talking to a miserable mother huh you know i hate to do that i know i don't get it i mean i know okay for them it's a serious psychological and

physical need to do that you know like sometimes they forget to be happy and enjoy what they have

that's what i keep saying yeah you've got a perfect kind why are you so worried about another one? oh she wants the other sister she plays with that fucking pinkies my sister pinky needs this i'm reading pinky a bedtime story and she cries suzanna cries oh look see she wants the sister oh brother that's why she needs yeah no jessica says it too but you know like they would say that kind of shit yeah it's just everything changed after she had the dead baby it's not it it's okay that's uh you know messes them up and we went to the doctor after that one he's like you can try again as soon as next month if you want and i looked and i said to him which is bullshit yeah who would want to do that like you can't even do it it wasn't the whole thing was awful not only there was the funeral and the fact that the baby didn't live and we had to have this termination and but the worst part really for her is she had to give birth to it just careful she nearly died during the giving birth it was so traumatic and uh i mean that was so traumatic you've messed her up and everything after that is just like 100 times extreme more extreme emotions i mean and i asked the doctor like who in their right mind would want to repeat that experience not just the the sadness but the the birth was just like 24 hours of hell she nearly died they had to do two operations on her and it was just she was in so much pain and trauma and she was like hallucinating and she couldn't look at the baby and then after she was like like in a trance like in psychosis from that i'm like oh it's normal at the time they were very good at looking after her but then who in the right mind would want to do that again and the doctor looked at me and says they always do something tells them in the body like do it again yeah the women they think differently

they don't they don't think like us it's not enough for me and anna it's like yeah but you know

we're not even talking i mean we just

i think once you're done with it you have a child you have more than enough yes of course if you can have another one and it's dead then it's fine but then you know a lot of them they go into like this self-destruction kind of thing and think they're happy and everything is just negative and then you know like you forget that you already have everything you need

exactly and that's why i keep saying the same thing and it's like if it was first child we didn't have any child i would really feel that way yeah exactly yeah that would be a reason and it was like that when we found out that i can't really conceive we were trying wasn't coming wasn't coming she's been through all these tests to find out and they say there's nothing wrong with you so your husband has to come in to do tests and then all of a sudden i was like that i was very depressed and upset you know when i get told that we don't know you you've got zero it's not like weak sperm or whatever low sperm it's zero what does that mean you know and luckily that was actually the least bad thing it could be because they could get sperm and make a baby in a laboratory but i know how she felt but that's when we didn't have any child now we've got a six-year-old and what if that works she's gonna be seven when the baby's born if we do it again next month another three or four thousand pounds and again all that trauma and then what she's gonna be seven and a half it's like what it comes a point where are we getting old to have a little baby when that baby's 18 we're gonna be getting on for what 56 i think and it's not terrible but then also i know he's gonna get a brother or sister who's seven years younger than her it's not gonna be like the two little kids playing all the time they're not gonna play together i think

i think it's one of those things you know like they'll link eventually up when they grow up you know like it's seven years between me and mikey

but i never used to play with him when i was a little child and my brother was only four and a half years younger than me but we got on but we got on but we didn't have anything in common we were even in i was in big school he was in little school we never even were at the same school at the same time you know we had different friends different interests he was a little baby it was just annoying to me when he was two and i was like eight or six whatever seven two year old's annoying to be fair i know but then you know anna has got this very kind nature that's like we go with them with their portuguese and their babies going on she's the one more worried about the baby than everybody you know she's putting her arm around the baby she's going and grabbing the baby when she goes near the edge of something she's the one guiding the baby the right way she's the one i think the baby needs a needs a snack she's just thinking always what the baby needs and she's really more than the parents not that they didn't care but like she's really into that stuff so yeah and there's so many factors too i'm like i'm not very well i might need a big operation i'm not feeling great financially and physically and everything it's not a great idea for me i don't think but then anna will carry half of the work because she's she's motherly i just want her to be happy but it's not like she doesn't understand you like her and me have just got so much closer in the last few days as well i wish you were coming i don't want mommy to come i was waiting on those rings it's the gymnastics give her that strength but mommy's in a bad mood everything like she puts toy in the wrong place she's a good kid she doesn't mess about our home ever but she left the toy near the top of the stairs and the reaction is like you know like we've done something really bad because she's so tense and it's just making a horrible yeah feeling atmosphere

probably she doesn't mean to be like that it's just like she's she definitely doesn't but she's really on the edge and then you know things come out like that but it's affecting anna yeah i can imagine same like you know me and amalia nowadays we don't argue ever it's all because of jessica because you know jessica is naughty and she's pushing us both over the edge you know all the time yeah we could really do to get some time off from us so probably more or less both of us decided that next summer she's going to romania for the summer holiday

my mom i said to susanna like grandma can come for five days and stay with us she doesn't mind we can go somewhere just the two of us i don't want to never mind never mind october we'll go to uh maybe me and anna will go to france to your brothers or macedonia

do they have a half term in october? what?

yeah they do yeah isn't it? it has to be halfway from christmas must be yeah yeah they always we go usually we go to macedonia it's susanna's birthday 16th of october and after that we usually go oh yeah to macedonia

yeah i wish we could go as well but amalia doesn't have any more holidays left

she's took the remaining for christmas you would like macedonia? huh? you would like macedonia? you think? everybody likes everybody no be fine it's a lot of people in europe people from here they go then they love it really? yeah what's the weather like in october? uh warm might warmer than this is now but then a few weeks later it changes i think same as romania probably not that different

october in romania is getting a bit chilly i mean we don't i don't really know i wasn't in romania last time but i think with all this summer and the way the weather is going it's changing Like they were saying, I read this article the other day, and apparently this is the coolest summer we'll ever have in England. Yeah. Like this summer. I actually hope so. Because I love it. From next year, it's going to be warmer and warmer and warmer. And this summer is fucking hot.

But it was everywhere. Even, I don't know about Romania and Macedonia, there were like so many people dying, and it was like 50 degrees, like 40 something. Yeah, Romania had 40 degrees yesterday. They're getting these dangerous mosquitoes coming and all that stuff. But I don't like to go when it's too hot there. A lot of the rivers have disappeared. Yeah, same in Macedonia. And here even, I mean, it's crazy. No, the best time we go always is Easter and October, because it's still really nice. I mean, imagine, it's next to Greece. It's south, really south. But it's continental, so the winters get super, super cold. And they don't have bloody normal heating in the house. That pisses me off. Like, they've got the air conditioning one. You can't use that when you sleep, because you might get sick. Also, that's just in the living room and the dining room. So what are you heating with? Wood fire. It's nice. I mean, don't get me wrong, there's nothing more nice than that, cozy next to the real fire. The only problem is... Then you go in the bedroom, and it's like minus two. It's not really. Technically, it's still 24 degrees in the bedroom. But it's like 30-something in the living room, and the difference kills you. I like it, but there's some things I find uncomfy. They used to have chickens in the garden, and I was like... I tried to kill the father of the chicken. The cock? Yeah, because, you know, six o'clock in the morning, I don't need... We're always drinking, relaxing, one holiday. We don't need six o'clock in the morning. And our bedroom, like, bed's there, and then after that was the garden with the chicken, and it was like...

She asked me, how much chicken should I prepare for tonight? I said, I don't care, just kill the father, you know? Be careful of him. The bar is nice.

She loves it, because she's... Like, Jessica is here. She's got a girl called Liana, who lives next door. She's seven now, I think. She's her best Macedonian friend, and she plays with her, goes in the house, runs about. And it's like how it's supposed to be there. They've got so much fun. It's freedom, man. Of course it's dangerous. There's dogs on the street. Some of them are proper dangerous. There's a river with no barrier and all that. But we're going with Susanna's old school friend, and they were meeting their friends. Just every night, they're going to sit in the town next to the river. They have some beers, sit around the table. And the kids just go on. Like, where are the kids? Oh, they'll be down there somewhere. They've disappeared. You can't see them. They've gone, like, one and a half kilometres, throwing rubbish in the river, enjoying themselves. Standing on the bridge with no barrier, like, dropping plastic bottles into the river and counting which one comes out first. Having a brilliant time. And nobody's worried. And she stayed up till, like, midnight. She was like, I've never seen anything like this before. Then the kids got hungry, all these kids. They're not at school there yet either. They start at six or seven. And they all decided they're going to the pizzeria. And it was, like, midnight. The group of them, like, five of them, and we're looking for them everywhere. And Susanna started panicking. Like, don't worry, don't worry. They're all the group, the parents. Like, don't worry, they'll be just... They probably got hungry. Like, what do you mean hungry? Anna eats at five and she's in bed at eight. Eight, nine, like, no, no, no. They'll be at the pizzeria, like, always. She calls, yeah, yeah, they're here. So I went there to get Anna because Susanna was worried. And it's, like, the kids, like, six, seven years... Five to seven years old. Six of them, they got a table and they ordered a pizza each. And they were waiting for one of the grown-ups to come and play the bill. And they were eating already. Like, it's just... She was so happy. Massive culture. That's the difference. Yeah. Is Anna OK? Where's Anna? Oh, there. Is she pretending? She's pretending. Talking about how in Macedonia they've gone off. We didn't know where they are and I just didn't notice. But, I don't know. Couldn't live there. No. Everything's better in so many ways, but the hospital on the last night, that was... She just got this massive headache out of the blue. It was really... It was really weird. And she was screaming. She never does that. It was really serious. I would definitely have gone to children's hospital here, but... So we went to the emergency department in the town and I was like... I've been in there before, but you've got... Two years ago... 18 months ago, they had that massive fire in that town. 50-odd people burned to death. Tea kids. And they're supposed to have spent all this money on improving their health care. There was three or four brand-new ambulances outside, but they're inside. I mean, they're inside. There was missing tyres. There was holes deep in the floor, in the reception of the emergency department. It didn't look clean, definitely not, like, sterilised. Sometimes you go in the hospital here and you think the room looks old and all that. Fucking hell. That was, like, since the 1960s. They had nothing done. They didn't even have anything, like... They said, oh, it's all right. The children's ward is open all night. They referred her to the children's ward. We went upstairs. And the doctor was having a cigarette in the corridor, inside the door, into the children's ward. And I thought, I'm so sorry for anybody. This is the first... They're only... They have good hospital in Skopje, in the capital. And a friend said, like, we wouldn't have gone there if he'd told us we'd just drive by. It's 45 minutes to the big city and go to the private hospital. You've got world-class treatment. People come from abroad for treatment. But... It's a Swiss company or something. But that was shocking. And they offered to admit her. I was telling Amalia, because I said, you can claim on your travel insurance for that missed flight. Probably you could claim. And she was looking at it on the phone, if you've got insurance, like, through the bank or whatever. It covers the night that you missed in the Airbnb or something. And on ours, you get £1,000, £1,200 for every night that one of us spends in hospital. On the trip. So if she stayed in the hospital, we'd get £1,200. But I looked at the hospital and I thought, I'd rather not. I'd rather she didn't stay here even for £1,200. Shall we slowly move? Yeah, it's getting there. And I'm getting fucking bitten by some shit. I'm getting... I'm all itchy there. Maybe that's what happened. Yeah, probably. I'm getting ready to have a cocktail. I've got a mojito in the fridge. Really? Yeah. It's time to go home.

Home.

Home. It's late. What home? Home. Home is going home. I think it's the same in Romanian. How do you say home in Romanian? Casa. Oh, casa. Let's go. Andiamo a casa. We have to, baby, because tomorrow you're going to gymnastics together. Oh, my goodness. For the whole day. For the whole day. For the whole day. You're the one that's in the gym. Come on, baby. Ready? Ready? Which way are you coming down? Slide? One more. One more. Slide or stairs? Or pole? Okay, slide down. I don't know, but I can't go down. You can go down the pole. I can't. Whatever. Not like last time. You okay? What happened? What happened? Did you tell Jessica about it? Come on. Did you guys park somewhere here? Yeah. Did you park somewhere here? There's the pole. I'll put it in the back. We'll go with you, and then we'll go. You're pointing the wrong way. McRae's is that way. Anna's is...

Come on, baby.

Let's go. We need to go. We need to go. It's getting late, Jessica. Look... And I'm getting bitten by mosquitoes. Just like that? everywhere when you don't listen to us then we're not going to come back again are we no

Anna, keep moving, keep moving.

I don't think there is any more ice cream, but I think Anna's got biscuits in her bag.

Yeah! Wow. Get it!

I think it's in the main bag.

Get it! We've got one each, yeah. You can't eat it because it's hot. That's it. They have to be guessing. Oh, good. It doesn't matter, they've got the same amount. We had one today, you know. Okay. At ballet. I feel so ready. I meant when Anna got on the floor like this. Ow! I said, Anna, you're pointing the wrong way to me. But I didn't want to say it loud.

It's getting a bit chilly, isn't it?

How's your grass?

To be honest, it's coming back.

Yeah? Yeah, it's gaining again color. Mine is very, very lush and green. And the neighbor came and the American lady said, wow, that's like an American lawn. You should be really proud. But still, I've got some dry bits in the middle. Like anybody else looks at it, they say it's perfect. For me, I just see the dry bits and I'm like, oh, of course. I've been working and working and working on it until I'm tired of it.

So dad has repotted all the plants. Oh, good. And he's bought some more. Nice. And we took all the tiles and we put new grout in this morning. Wow. You've been working hard. It's a fucking job and a half. For what?

Me and the kids are in a group. The grown-ups are in a group.

We won.

A group. And if you win...

No, no, we're going towards the cars because I'm cold. And I'm going to catch cold and then I'm going to be in bed, coughing like a little dog. Where's the little dog? Gone home? Yeah, he's gone home.

He's really nice.

I was yesterday. Really? He's... I bet he loves it. He peed on the... On the tiles in the kitchen. At least it's tiles, not on the... He's pooed on the carpet. Ah, that's worse. Yeah. He's trained. No, not really. Huh? He's not trained for that yet. He's trained but not... I think it was a new place for him. Like, he's bringing... Mikey usually brings out the office. I have to put it here. So the office is already peeing and pooing on his back. Okay, okay. Okay. Say your goodbyes and you see each other tomorrow again.

See you tomorrow.

Bye, see you tomorrow. Have a good day.

Adios. Nobody shake hands like this. That'll look funny when you get to school and shake hands in the morning every day. Yeah? Ciao. Ciao, bye. Ciao. Ciao means bye. They say it too. Ah, we park down there. Has Jessica got her sunglasses? Oh, he's got... Is that your bag? Jessica! Jessica! Can we have the bag?

Oh, yeah.

Is it clipped on? Jessica, where's your sunglasses? Where are my sunglasses? How does that work? Pull it.

Where are my sunglasses? Oh, yeah.

In my bag.

Pull the other...

The sunglasses are in the bag.

In the bag? Okay, good.

In my sunglasses.

You have to unscrew it a bit, yeah? Yeah. Oh, okay, got it. Got it. Thank you. My sunglasses are in the bag.

Oh, the sunglasses are in this bag. They're in that bag. They're in my bag. I can have one of the hula hoops. Okay, do you want some crisps as well? There you go. Thank you. You're welcome. Okay. Bye-bye. See you later. Bye. Ciao. Bye. Sorted. That was easy. No crying from Jessica.

We should do a little bit.

Oh, that's a good trick, isn't it? What was that?

He just...

Yeah, just go and get in the car and go home and see him when we're done. Finished already? Finished already? Oh, wow, there's a bin there. Oh, is there a bin there?

Oh, there's a bin there.

Oh, they're playing chess.

They're playing a necklace.

Oh, it's here, I think.

He said what? Oh, I'm singing.

That's where we went to the toilet yesterday when we came to the pub. You want a what? All right, we'll get them in the car because we're nearly done. That was a noisy car. It farted.

Oh.

Daddy's old car did it a bit. No, I had another one. Do you remember? I had a different blue car before. I don't think you can remember.

I've got pictures of it. I'll send it to you.

They went home because they were tired and so was their mummy.

Remember when we saw the monocle? Yeah. It said Gregg's was a good place to go.

Where?

Gregg's.

For the toilet?

Yeah.

I said to get to the toilet, but you didn't want. Or to eat as well.

Yeah.

It's all right. It's not bad. It's not bad. Popcorn. I don't. I love popcorn. Oh, yes. I'm sorry. I'll get them right now. It's okay. I don't think you will.

From the bottom.

You won't. I bet you won't.

It was with eggs in it.

Really? Oh, my goodness. Yeah.

I was trying to eat this one.

Oh, my goodness. Chagi B.T.

Oh, that's open again. What? That Tesco's open. They've been closed. Daddy's tired now. Are you?

Yeah.

Why are you pushing? Yeah. I've got two. I'm tired from that. Did you? Yeah.

Yeah. Jessica loved that one. So did you. Oh, you were spitting Jessica in that one?

Yeah.

Very fast.

And did you see?

I did. No, actually. Wait. I thought you were joking. You should shout me.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I didn't. Oh, I'm so sorry. What was it you were asking me with the man who knows everything? What do you want me to ask him? Hello? What's your name? Hello? Where did you put the bin out? I said I've already put the bin out. I said I've already put the bin out. I said I've already put the bin out. Because the brown ones needed to go out.

There it is. I don't know. I think because it's difficult for them to turn around the bin line. I don't know. I think I would dare to ask this brown one.

In the garden, shouting. No, it's very late now. It's eight o'clock. No. Didn't we have dinner? Yes, you had dinner at Tesco with mummy, didn't you?

No.

Yep. And now it's eight o'clock. That means we're going to go in and relax. We're going to relax a bit and get ready for bed slowly and get in bed and read a story. Mummy who? Yeah. Do you want to? Yeah, we can. Yeah, well, we'll relax and get ready at the same time. We'll do all of it at the same time. No. No? Won't we?

No.

We do. Don't we? What? You don't want to get ready for bed? I do. But first, we don't survive our energy. So we... Then we... We rest while we get ready. All we have to do is put pyjamas on and brush teeth. And cream on bottom. Eye drops. Eye drops and book and sleep. Yeah, it'll take time. Yeah? We have a bedroom. Well, it's okay. Wherever she is, we're going to do all that. It's not a secret that we're doing it. Just make it easy. My back hurts a lot. That's why you're doing it. It's... I mean, I can't get dressed if Mummy's in a hurry.

Well, we'll get your clothes into your room. Let me plug the car in and then I'll get you out.

Wait, I didn't push that down.

What?

I didn't push that thing down.

Push what thing down?

That.

Um, the... The... You know that?

Yeah?

No, no, not that.

What?

Uh... Um, see that thing that's poking up on the door on the side?

Oh, that?

Yeah, I didn't push it down.

No. It was just locked. Everything was locked until I unlocked it. Are you going to get out?

What?

I'll be staying there for a minute or two. I don't mind because I'll get my stuff out of the car while you're there if you want. They're watching a film and that way there's some... They're playing in the garden and getting ready for bed. Hello. You ready? Hi there.

Oh, no, I wanted to leave it. I'm plugging it in. You just took it out. It's meant to be plugged in. Thank you. It's going in the house.

Luckily I didn't get lost this time.

No, luckily we didn't.

Bring the bikes.

The bikes? Taking the cart?

I was like... And then luckily we didn't bring the bikes.

Is that a piece for me? I'm not going to eat that one. Yeah, because I don't want to eat anybody getting lost.

Oh, is your water bottle with him still, do you think? Never mind, you'll get it tomorrow.

Are you pumping? Yeah.

No. You need to tell Mummy about that.

What, the water bottle? I'm going to tell her, it's OK. And I want to give Jessica that black bike stand I keep forgetting, so we'll take it in the morning. Yeah? We'll take it with us tomorrow morning. How can we get my desk?

Me?

Yes.

Mummy, we've forgotten the water bottle at Jessica's. Yeah, it's in Jessica's daddy's bag. It's OK, we'll take it tomorrow.

It's OK.

Careful. Oh.

Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh.

I missed it. Somebody asked me, have we had dinner already? I said, it's bedtime. Have we had dinner? I said, you had dinner at Jessica's. Oh, yeah, I forgot. Maybe it was so long ago, you forgot, I know. Are you eating corn or oats? Yes, it's home, I brought it in. That's the only one I had.

Who wants to get it for me?

I don't know. Yeah. And Marshall's got a water bottle.

If I see him in the morning, he's going to give me one.
