yeah well there's that and there's um <,> dough and there's this one here today which is quite long and word <.>g got me i REALLY should have brought <&>pronounced bought it home which <.>i i'll get a copy but it's because trev kept saying oh that's no good and fast forwarded it all <{><[>oh <[>well it might have been for me yeah <&>20:00 you know what i mean yeah <{><[>i do know <.>EXACTLY what you mean <[>word oh word george's a bit like that when he watches movies <{1><[1>he wants to fast forward through all the <{2><[2><.>boring bits and often you miss some of <{3><[3>the subtleties <[1>yeah <[2>yes <[3>MISS something well that happened <{><[>several times word <[>so i'd often rather not watch a movie with <.>him yes <.>than laughs than that process oh i was sort of brassed off today yeah but no doubt i'll get A copy of it and i'll er er i'll either get the one before it goes <.>back yeah tut but <.>i'd i'd have to get word noeline would let me put it on hers i think <{1><[1>bit <.>boring bit boring for her though <{2><[2>but i don't care i ADMIT it <.>can parts of it WERE boring for instance all <.>the er <,> thing in the church they go through the WHOLE <,> service again well er okay it was all right at the <.>s at the beginning of it but you don't want to listen to him preach and all that again <[1>oh i'm sure she would <[2>oh yeah but she doesn't yeah well you can fast forward those <.>bits and then <{1><[1>i mean than you can sit and read a book and just look at the bits that are <{2><[2>interesting <[1>yeah <[2>yeah but the bit that <.>was you know those were you and george and <.>the who is it george holding <,,> fat baby oh could be <&>21:00 mm <{><[>you know yeah <[>i don't know i haven't seen the video i can't remember <{><[>exactly what happened <[>word yes so if you're interested to look at it when we get it you know <{><[>yeah yeah <[>oh no i would be interested in having a look at it yeah right i can't guarantee i won't fast forward through the boring bits <{><[>laughs <[>well that's right i don't mind fast forwarding <.>through but er voc he was sort of doing it through such a LOT of that yeah gets me and well it's nice for <{1><[1>YOU to have YOUR finger <{2><[2>on the fast forward button isn't it <[1>word <[2>yes but yes well he gave me a thing to hold but then he had it beside him and he was just going voc you know yeah oh this is boring or something and he'd <.>already he'd already SEEN it <{><[>anyway he didn't NEED to be sitting on his bum watching it he could have been away doing something <[>word well that's right yeah i know but there's nothing <{><[>like seeing it again and <.>telling <[>i told <.>raewyn word yeah raewyn had said that earlier yeah you know so that's why it would be nice for you just to have it somewhere <{1><[1>sometime where YOU can sit down and YOU <{2><[2>can control the remote control <[1>yeah where i could voc <[2>yes word i can remove but <{><[>i can't the trouble is i'm no good at putting them in or working them <[>voc oh but that's it's dead easy once you get used to it <{><[>and and you can just sit and watch what you want to watch <[>yes WANT to watch yes and fast forward the bits that OTHER people <&>22:00 think are interesting yes <{><[>laughs <[>laughs so and anyway er that's the story of what i did so then oh i came home about lunchtime they were going over to er er <,> jack's birthday well it was his birthday yesterday and they were taking him over <.>a a present of some sort you know aha today so i think that was sort of all the only bit of excitement there oh well that's sounds a <.>little well no not more exciting than my day today cos i did find the <.>in the um auction quite <{><[>an interesting experience <[>oh yes i think i would have found that interesting word too just a pity that the guy that bid against me didn't sort of have a flat tyre or something on the way there yeah laughs yeah laughs <{><[>but never mind <[>yes that's the <.>way so well there you are no well that's <.>li <{1><[1>i mean it would have been good in some ways but then it would have brought other complications in other ways in terms of either moving in or trying to find tenants and all of those sorts of <{2><[2>things <[1>that's life laughs <[2>yes yeah <&>22:52
