False Start and Fireside Chat
00:00:07
Speaker
Alright, so we're coming to this bit late because my fire alarm kept going off, and which you can't really record anything when your fire alarm went off anyhow. There isn't a fire, I just want to reassure everybody I've checked, there's no fire. and So we're coming a bit late to this. But welcome to Nick and Becca's fireside chat part two. How are you Nick?
00:00:35
Speaker
Very well, I noticed that we're both dressed in dark colours for some reason.
Merchandise and Family Humor
00:00:41
Speaker
Yeah, well, I've got my Trichress merch on, which says I'm leading a coaching rebellion. OK, so that's nice. Yeah, it is nice. And also, obviously, I bought my mug back. No, I've got my posh. I bought them a Mason mug with my initials on. Did you get any feedback from the last Nick and Becca fireside chat? No. I did. Did you? Yeah. Met people who've watched it and listened to it and everything and they liked it. That are not in your family. Yes. Yes, that are not in my family. My family wouldn't watch it. No, no, that's true. I mean, I'm in your family. I didn't watch it.
The Nature of Humor
00:01:28
Speaker
Well, you were in it. Yeah, no, exactly. And who needs to see themselves back on a screen. It's horrible.
00:01:35
Speaker
No, no. So today I thought we'd talk about what makes you laugh because... and Seriously? I mean so seriously what makes me laugh? Or the flippant answer to what's making me what Well maybe we should do both. Yeah. Go on then. What makes you laugh? Just generally. Yeah. Very little.
00:02:04
Speaker
it's It's true. That is true. Very little makes me laugh. um And I'm hesitated because last week there was something that made me laugh so much that I cried laughing. Because when I do laugh, I tend to really, really, if something gets me, it's just there. It's just on it. I might have to ask Sally what it was because I could not stop laughing. And I know if I remember it now, of yeah I will fall apart. Bye.
00:02:39
Speaker
i see Now I'm thinking about something literally that must be out 30 years ago that Brendan said. Do you remember Brendan? Who can forget Brendan? Right, he's talking about what I'm talking about. and he's something And when I remember what he said in the context in which he said it, that always absolutely kills me every time I think about it. And there was something last week.
Charm of Spontaneity
00:03:03
Speaker
Am I allowed to ask Sally what it was? Yeah, do you want me to pause while you do that? No, I think the people, the person, the two people, we might have doubled our numbers. Mrs. Trelish from North Wales. Right, Mrs. Trelish from Wales, from North Wales, who are watching this and listening to this. One of the things that I think that they clutch onto
00:03:31
Speaker
to keep the watching is the fact that it's absolutely live and spontaneous, and i just absolutely unless there is a fire. Yeah, and there's not a check. Right. Or some equally dire domestic emergency here. I think we should just let the camera roll. All right. OK, well, go and ask Sally then. Go and see what she says.
00:03:55
Speaker
For our watcher, I'm wearing shorts. Are you? Yeah, I'm just, I want to flag that all, but I don't want anybody, maybe if anybody's eating or has recently eaten. I just think it's like a trigger warning, isn't it? It's like they now put this, this contains vowel language. They put trigger warnings for absolutely everything now, don't they? Either it'd be somebody eating nuts in this program or something. Right.
00:04:26
Speaker
we find so It's all how you ask, isn't it? It is. It's in the asking that he's got his camo shorts on, which is very on trend. Oh, there goes it all. Whilst Nick's doing that, I'm going to show you my sunburn from yesterday. Look, I've got ice cream arms. It's like Neapolitan. This is the strawberry bit and this is the vanilla bit. I was gardening yesterday in Edinburgh, in Scotland, and I got sunburn. So all you Americans, particularly Tammy,
00:05:03
Speaker
who thinks the weather's always really bad. It's not, sometimes it's really good and I got burnt, okay? I'm just hiding that. I've now got factor 50 on. And I've also got marks on my arms and it's not because I'm self-harming, it's because the rose bushes got me, okay? Just so you know. Was Sally not? shiman No, she can't remember either. There should have been a warning that you were going to mention self-harming. I was just showing everybody my sunburn, look! You see, Viv, Viv Parry at Russell and Bromley used to say, redskin is damaged skin. Honestly, any time I see anybody with sunburn, I hear Viv. She's right. It is. Many, many, many years, guys died many, many years ago. She died far too young, but many years ago, Viv Parry. And she said, redskin is damaged skin, Nick. Always stuck with me. No, Sally can't remember what it was.
00:05:57
Speaker
but
Jealousy and Personal Growth
00:05:58
Speaker
it was something that really tickled me. I've begun listening to, I'm sorry, having a clue again. Yeah, it's good. It's good. A way old episodes I've bought on on ah Apple audio books or something like that. I've started, ah you remember Green Wing? I loved Green Wing. Yeah, you liked Green Wing. Listening to that on Audible as well, that makes me laugh. Yeah. and I just think it's silly. I like silly humour, but clever humour. We celebrated in the business yesterday the International Day of the Potato, which I thought was highly relevant to business coaching. And yeah and I believe last month we did the International Day of Tuna
00:06:46
Speaker
I don't know what's coming up next month. We'll have to wait and see. Trying to find the most obscure international days of, and because when everybody's zigging, we zag Nick. Yeah. And my initial reaction when I found out there was an international day of tuna is, is there an international day of sweet call? Yes. Because they go together, don't they? They do. They shoot around sweet corn. You'd expect that, wouldn't you? You'd expect the sweet corn lobby yeah to be, you know, a loud clarion call going, well, hang on, we want equal rights. If they're going to get a day, the bloody tuna fish, what about us? You know, we bring yellow zesty crispiness.
00:07:33
Speaker
So what would otherwise be just basically a very dry sandwich filling? You can't digest sweet corn though. Let's not go there. but but you know on and I have a picture here which nobody, the viewer can't see. Yeah. of eric moo like all more common wise for those I don't know what demographic our viewer is i but if they're over 50 they would have heard of more common wise and he he made me laugh he was funny very funny yeah he was and Tommy Cooper he was funny yeah he did some he did some very very ah amusing stuff my problem is back is that
00:08:27
Speaker
because I have done stand-up comedy, and I tend to not be able to relax. First of all, I don't watch comedians, but on the odd occasion I do, I can't really relax and watch them because I'm analyzing what they're saying and thinking, okay, yeah, that's quite funny, but actually you could have taken it that direction. And what I would have done is like, well, surely you're gonna have this about that. And I once had this discussion with a woman who was a club DJ and she said as a part-time thing, a hobby thing, and she said being a club DJ had ruined going to clubs for her because she just relaxed and getting to the vibe and the music because she was analyzing what the DJ was playing and the way they were mixing in with an ex and going, oh no, I would have just, no, no, no.
Critiquing Communication Techniques
00:09:18
Speaker
so i mean where I find myself doing that with people who phoned me to sell me something because I was in recruitment for so long I had a guy this morning I was on the way to the gym yeah and his opening gambit was I'm just about to uh give you a really bad day and obviously i'm like well that's not a great opening gambit because now i feel physically sick and think all my loved ones have died um and then he said and then he said i'm just it's a sales call so then i experienced immediate relief yes i went well i've only he said have you got 30 seconds i went literally 30 seconds because i'm going to the gym
00:10:01
Speaker
And then, it I mean, his pattern, his banter was good, but we didn't need what he sells. ae But he did finish by going, do you know anybody who might? And he asked in a nice way. So I've said, I'll connect with you on LinkedIn. So we won it round, but it was, I'm always unpicking the technique. yeah It's not a technique I, I'm about to, I'm about to make your day really bad. It's not, I don't think a great intro, somebody's experienced in the recent. That's right, you don't. So I was going to give him that feedback, but I couldn't be bothered. So I'll just let him crack on. And yeah, but I analyzed that and I also
00:10:49
Speaker
Do, and other coaches might experience this, and I've had to work really hard to get over this. Sometimes when other people tell you how amazing other coaches are, there's a little part of you that's like, I hate them. That's just me. No. All right, okay. No, I think that's a human thing. i think I think there are people who are bigger than us. Yeah. I mean, in terms of, generosity of spirit and you are very generous of spirit. Yeah. um But there are there are very few people who wouldn't, who if whatever their field was, you know, I don't know who who wouldn't get well gel, not well gel, very jealous, but certainly have a little experience if I don't like them. A little and I get over it really quickly. Yeah, yeah.
00:11:49
Speaker
but there's there's like a little split second right wall. And then I just go, well, actually, of course there are really good coaches out there because that's just the nature. and That's right. But you don't need to hear about it, do you? Not really, no. No, I don't. And then and then when I did loads of NLP training, it was, oh, do you know this
Entertainment and Comparisons
00:12:12
Speaker
NLP trainer? No. As though I should know them. It's like, no, no, I don't know them. Are they an international megastar? Well, then no, I don't know them. No. But then- That's not unreasonable. I mean, you can understand why people do do that. You know, in the same way that American people might go, if you say, oh, I live in Manchester, and they go, oh, do you know so and so? Yeah, true. It's a human thing, I guess, isn't it?
00:12:49
Speaker
Yeah, and going back to what you say, have you watched the third season of Clarkson's farm? Yeah, it's brilliant. Excellent, isn't it? But there is a scene in that, is there not, where his Clarkson sidekick, what's he called? Begins with A, doesn't it? No. Oh, Caleb. Caleb doesn't begin with A at all, does it? Caleb um is introduced to that other guy that used the hand, and he's plowing he's going to be plowing his field. and How possessive it becomes is, oh, no, this is my field. And this is the way I do farming. And he's really like, well, what's up? What's up? What sort of using that won't get through the stones. I won't.
00:13:34
Speaker
even though he recognizes that there are other people who do farm. I mean, obviously, people use different techniques, but you don't need it putting in your face like that. Yeah, we're using this guy to do this field. I think we should call it doing a Caleb then. That momentary like little twinge of, <unk> we should call it doing a Caleb. And and it embrace it as a human thing. Yes. Yeah. maybe Actually, what that is a sign of is that you actually care about what it is that one is caring about what one does. Because if you didn't care, you wouldn't, it wouldn't bother you that there were other people doing what you were doing, let alone that they were better than you know, genuinely don't care. But because you do care, and many coaches and consultants,
00:14:26
Speaker
I mean, they really care about the way they do things. And they like and I think they're giving off their best. They're really doing best by their clients. That the idea that there's somebody else that's really, really good. The other thing I would say is, and it's an interesting thing, isn't it, from a business perspective, is actually
00:14:48
Speaker
if should one devote any time, if any at all, dev votee any time any the amount of time or if any it's all to finding out what competitors are doing. Now my reaction to that has always ever since I was in my very first sales job. And obviously I was in a sales team. I didn't give one crap about what other sales people were doing that were in my sales team. on um my I just was not interested. And we used to have a sales meeting on a Friday morning and everyone come in and go, what have we done this week? What did you do this year? What did you do? what What percentage of target have you done? What percentage of new business have you done?
00:15:34
Speaker
Not only did I genuinely not know because I wasn't interested, um but I didn't want to know. I'm not interested in what other people are doing because you can get fixated on what all your competitors are doing. And actually, you have no control over what they're doing. So why don't you just focus on what you're doing? Yeah, didn't you find that with exams when you're at school? So like before you went in the exam, everybody went on and on about, what have you revised? And like, I just wouldn't engage because I don't care. It's because it's too late by then. You haven't revised. Yeah, that's right. You stuffed.
00:16:12
Speaker
and then after the exam they did this terrible post-mortem on what did you put it don't care it's too late i'm going for a cup of tea now because what's done is done and cannot be undone to quote shakespeare and and why it's the same with competitors you're right i've never had that thing either it's like i don't care trusted. Yeah, not not bothered. Don't care. And just you you get on with it. And that's fine. I'll leave you to it. Yeah, definitely. They are kid. If I see somebody doing something really great in a space that we want to be in or get better at it. I'll i'll model what they're doing and make it our own. So yeah,
00:17:04
Speaker
Yeah, that makes sense. You model excellence from other people who go, oh, I like the way they approach that or I like the way they do that. I'm gonna take that. I'm gonna use that and and and make it my own. yeah Yeah, that's really important.
Dreams and Aspirations
00:17:18
Speaker
I did, I still have my little, on and YouTube, I still have my little Nick Flix site on YouTube. And a few weeks ago, I did a piece to camera about um Tottenham Hotspur. Right. who were playing Manchester City and a lot of the Tottenham fans wanted Tottenham to lose that match. Why? Because if they'd have beaten Manchester City there was a good chance that Arsenal would have won the league. Right. So they would rather their own team lost
00:17:59
Speaker
and missed out on a European in place right in soccer football than win and mean that their biggest, biggest North London rivals would win the Premier League. and i this Because I listened to talk sport a lot and there was a lot of phoning and there the vast majority of Spurs fans were I am going to be cheering for Manchester City. Positively. Yeah. paul Positively cheering. I want my team to lose. Okay. And there was a bit of a debate about it. And I i i was so vexed by this. I did a ah little thing and um maybe we should put it on the Tri-Cressy thing. I wonder if I can put it on there.
00:18:45
Speaker
Well, upload it to Basecamp. I'm going to sit down. I'm going to lower my desk. Yeah, lower your desk. Because the same thing, and what I say in that, so we'll put it on the Basecamp thing and put it out there, is that you shouldn't be worrying about what your your rival team is doing because you have you have no control over what they're doing. The only control you have over is over your own team. And and and that's it. And why expend why waste any energy, physical or mental energy worrying about your rival's team? I mean, it's just, who's interested? But lots of people were were hugely vested in Spurs losing.
00:19:41
Speaker
actually It's amazing how many people, though, worry themselves about things that they can't control. Well, you're preaching something good with me. As you know, I do worry about things. I know, but you you kind of do. I've gone to a really quick I don't know what they call it. Do they call it a decision tree? If I find myself worrying about something, I go, can I control it? Yes or no? And if the answer is no, I just go, stop then. ah correct yeah Are you familiar with Biggles philosophy? Yeah. Sally sent me that. I love that. Fabulous. Yeah. Yeah. We should share that here. If we can put that in this video here at the end, Biggles philosophy. Have you got a copy of that? Because I lost it.
00:20:32
Speaker
Yeah, I've got it. I recently sent it to a client who's a reasonable friend of mine, somebody I've known for a long time, who's going through a very, very hard time. And I've sent it to him and he's really, really helped him. It's great. and i think And I think it's everything, you know, if you're running a coaching business, it's really easy to get uptight about all kinds of stuff. And actually that big old quote should be pinned on to every business owners, whether in coaching or not. And, you know, wall where they can see it because it is good. We will share it. I think that's a really good idea. Definitely. have you made the notes of doing that Yeah. We're not really thought about sense of humor though, have we?
00:21:15
Speaker
No, that's okay because it it's a meandering fireside chat. and My next question, because you know I'm a coach, so ive thought I've got a lot of questions. My next question is, what were you doing in May? What were you up to writing the big old thing on my to-do list? Well, it was my darling wife's birthday. ah It was on the 14th of May this year. So I kind of made a note of that. Of course, it would have been Mum's birthday on the 5th of May, so that's always in our mind, isn't it? think yeah um We should explain to you that Mum died in 2012, so
00:22:04
Speaker
But, you know, at least I had to buy a birthday card, you know, it saves, saves logging on to moon pick, doesn't it? It does. I was sorry she missed the Olympics. She would have liked that. I know she died six months before the Olympics. She would have loved that.
Surprises and Documentaries
00:22:21
Speaker
She would have liked the Olympics. And then it was our wedding anniversary on the 28th of May. but a call ah I don't need to tell you this, but you'd organised a surprise birthday party for Sally, so we had journeyed up. I was quite proud of myself. I basically lied to my wife and was deceitful to her for a good two months leading up to a surprise birthday party. So that's a skill that she now, she can be comforted by the fact that her husband
00:22:53
Speaker
is superb at lying and being deceitful she's that's huge bonus i think for every everybody in a marriage i think it's nice to know that their other half can keep a secret from them and not only on that but embellish just completely made up things because i had to construct a whole fantasy weekend as to what we were doing when we went to scotland and and and you know tell her that well we were seeing so-and-so at such a time and then we're going there and oh let's look at the menu so we can choose before and what we're going to have when we get to this restaurant. Knowing full well that we were never going to go to that restaurant. So that's nice.
00:23:33
Speaker
and did you Was it personal stuff you wanted to know what I did in May? Because it i've just that's what I've done, I've not done No, but what i I was going to go on to was, now you're talking about the line, have you watched the Netflix Ashley Madison documentary? I don't know who or what Ashley Madison is. Ashley Madison was that website. In fact, it started in Canada. It was a Canadian who built it. Right. For people who wanted to, for married people who wanted to have affairs. In 2015, all the data was released. Do you remember that? Do you remember that? Yes.
00:24:10
Speaker
Yeah, 37 million. that names, addresses, emails, actual conchants, pecadillos, that's right, were released to the world. wow and ah Just saying, you know, that that lying thing. and I mean, it was very sad, the documentary, you know, obviously a lot of people got very, very badly hurt. And then in one of the episodes I just watched, there was a suicide as a direct result. So it was horrific.
00:24:45
Speaker
But yeah that's, it's not really a skill to brag about though is it, that lie, unless you're in MI5. Or an MP.
00:24:58
Speaker
Where they, and the they don't they don't lie, I don't think they lie by commission that they tend to lie by omission so they just They just don't point out the obvious truth of something. Yeah. but Let's not mention that to the electorate that actually this, that, this, that will be a consequence of what we've decided to do today. Yeah. And we're not going to go political, but so. Yeah, so that's, that's good, isn't it? My only wish actually is that the government, if ah if feel like if I had a major wish for my coaching, is that I could coach the government as a board of directors because they are a board of directors, you know, the cabinet is essentially a board of directors and coaches, you know, are coach boards and yeah
00:25:52
Speaker
I would really like to have the opportunity to do our purpose, vision and values, set with them as a board and go, right, what's what's the vision for
Government Vision and Planning
00:26:02
Speaker
10 years? Where do you want this country to be in 10 years time? Let's work backwards from there and let's set the agenda and what let's have a look at the underlying purpose. And I did this with a guy on one of my NLP courses who is involved in the government function that I won't name. And I said, you know, if governments had the purpose, you know, the our purpose thing, it's like Simon Sinek's why. If their sole purpose was simply to serve, and that's all they focused on. to sir And they had three core values that came out of that, which were, you know, you'd get your behaviors like we do with businesses. I wonder how different and things could be.
00:26:54
Speaker
Well, I think they'd be very different, wouldn't they? Because also it would have to make them look at the values and what they were trying to achieve when actually might they might not be in power. But having that the problem is is like, well, what do you want to do? And that is get reelected. Yeah, is it is the main issue if they put that to one side. It's like, I think the analogy is it is of a business. If the business's only desire is to make profit, then you end up with an end run, you know, and that collapses in a heap or you end up, you know, there are lots of other examples of businesses that have ended up really toxic and then go bust. And I think that's what happens. I think because their purpose is to get reelected, the focus is on completely the wrong thing and they make all the wrong decisions as a result. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
00:27:51
Speaker
And I actually think our nation are sophisticated because we're quite long into a Western sort of liberal democracy set up. And I think the populations of those Western liberal democracies are ready for a mature. This is our 10 year vision. And actually, we just want people to manage that. Thanks very much. And yeah, we we want a chance to reelect them, obviously, because otherwise you end up with mental head dictators. and
00:28:23
Speaker
or at least hold them to account in some way. But yeah, i think I think we'd all go, do you know what? I can get behind that kind of vision. That sounds quite good. You'd have to have somebody though that was ah that were looking to, this is what we actually would like to achieve over the next 20, 30, 40 years. And it might not be us that's in play, but that's who's making the decision. But ultimately that's where we're aiming for. That's why we do. But normally it's only been single party systems that that that can do that. So Singapore has been that since Singapore gained its independence. Singapore's attitude has been right. For the first 10 years, we're going to devote things. We're going to devote all our energy to infrastructure. Then the next 10 years, we're going to devote it to education. Then the next 10 years, we're going to devote it to the arts and culture. And that's what they've done in some Singapore. that They've taken those.
00:29:21
Speaker
That's it. This is the focus, is that. That's Singapore's not for everybody. No. No. And that's with the way Saudi are going, isn't it? They've got their 50-year plan. Yes. Yeah, that's right. But it's able to do that because it's not a democracy. but They're able to do that because they know for certain, failing some kind of major, major, major co-shift things. It's like, no, our family, and progeny from our family, we're going to be here for 30, 40, 50 years, so we can plan that far. And that's what we're looking to. Western democracies don't have that luxury. No, but I asked for a long five years later and go, yeah, we disagree with that.
00:30:14
Speaker
Yeah the those dictatorships though always end up collapsing because there's always a nutter that comes along there's always a Caligula that comes along and just spoils it for or an emperor Nero or something or spoils it for everybody. Or goes into coffee shops. Or goes into coffee shops. Yeah you know after after Nero did the empering thing oh but
00:30:42
Speaker
Now that's real diversification, isn't it? It's like, I've done the emperor thing, and what shall I do next? Coffee shops. I'm going coffee shops. That's what I think there's a future there. That's where I get away from the daily grind to the but coffee grind. I'd see what you did there, our kid. Diversification is not an obvious one. No. No, no, it's not. What are you doing next month? Do you mean June or July? Oh, sorry, June, because it is actually, is it the third of June?
Future Plans and Nostalgia
00:31:20
Speaker
Yes, the third of June. I am going to Bermuda on the 8th of June.
00:31:28
Speaker
No. No, I'm sorry, you know. I know, but I hadn't realised it was the 8th. I'm very excited. and um As you know, ah because I have a client there, I last went there in the end of two October 2012 actually, it was the last time it went, but the client has asked me back. um So Sally and I are spending a week there. She will have a week revined by a swimming pool. and I will have two days by and by, sweet paul so we actually, we go on Saturday, we were arrive Saturday evening, I'll have Sunday messing about, I'll have Monday messing about, and then I'm working Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, full, full, full on days, half, eight, so six o'clock kind of thing. ah And then we come back on a Friday, so so so six days, so she's coming with me because why not?
00:32:23
Speaker
Yeah, why not? Definitely. So that's that's me. So that's exciting. And then i then just bits and pieces, usual trips to London, training people. um Yeah, that's June. And then it'll start to go a little bit quiet, although I've got bits and pieces in July, but it just does until on August. And then there's hardly anything in August. I think I've got one or two things in August. We're filming stuff at the end of July, new stuff, aren't we? Oh, yes, we are. Yes, but that's, the yeah, we are. I'm coming up to see you. We're going to film, aren't we? In your new garret. Well, hopefully it's done by then. The carpets are all right. Well, I forgot to phone to put the carpets in, actually. ah We went to the tip of the Municipal Recycling Centre on Sunday. They ah have been called for many decades now. but Our generation still calls them a tip.
00:33:19
Speaker
hate can't get their heads around what a tip used to be like. Do you remember the one at the end of Clifton Road? where a tip people and the reason people of a certain and age refer to this as a tip is because and what I'm about to tell the viewer here you will know is I mean it's absolutely accurate to the tip and the tip was a huge pile of rubbish over which tractors yeah drove to flatten it down and you open the boot of you reversed up to this rubbish and you open the boot of your car and you threw the stuff on the big
00:33:57
Speaker
heap of rubbish and you drove away. You literally threw it on the floor and drove away. That was the tip. it was and yeah Now it's a half hour job. You have to go, does this go in here? Does this go in there? Does that go in there? Is this, we say, oh no, that's a small electrical. When is a small electrical, a large electrical? Well, where is the boundary between a small electrical and a large electrical? I don't know. I don't know. Is it a computer electrical or is it an IT? I don't know, but I remember I was telling David that about the tip, because I remember it well, Mum's old Morris Minor that we used to have to crank candle star. Yes, yes. Bursting up with all kinds of crap in the boot and just emptying out and and people rummaging in the rubble. Yes, there would be people there waiting for people to open the boot to their cars and actually trying to get in and have a sort through stuff, or you've managed to throw it on the floor.
00:34:59
Speaker
They did. So actually, in a way, seriously, recycling had been invented easily by the 70s. And actually before that, because we had, I don't know whether you remember this, but when we first moved to Prestwich down the backings, we did have a rag and bow man that came down there. I remember the rag and bow man. You do man the rag and bow man, a horse-drawn motor car. yeah And don't forget also, because we had a milk man, So recycling, there was no buying plastic milk bowls because you've got to live and then you put your empties out. So so we were recycling all over the place in the 70s. To tell you something funny. Yeah, I wish you would, because this is supposed to be a about what makes you laugh.
00:35:45
Speaker
I know, so we'll finish on this because we've got a couple of videos we need to record for the team. oh Yeah, we do, yeah. So we get, we have a milk then again, and they deliver the plastic bottles of milk, but they also deliver glass bottles of orange juice with the old foil caps on. So Ruby, my youngest is 15, and she was in the kitchen. She couldn't work out how to take the foil cap off. see
00:36:17
Speaker
which you do because actually what you do is you destroy it. Kirsty Yeah, you have to press it in but she didn't know. She said, mama had to get a knife.
00:36:29
Speaker
Adam That's fabulous. Kirsty Isn't that great? Adam Got a knife. Kirsty Had to get a knife. She said, how would you do it when you do this, sweetheart? Oh, okay. that you wouldn't know, would you? You just wouldn't know. This is a bottle with a piece of shiny foil on the top. Who thought of that? What, you mean you can't put it on? Yeah, you just sort of rest it on. Yeah, it kind of loosely goes away. You don't destroy it completely.
00:37:05
Speaker
and arrest it on unless you were a nana, a paternal nana who used to have those special little tops that served on the top. um So it became a little, it had its own little spout. You'll have ordered those from Tupperware, shed them in all the colours. How posh were they? They were great. You know, Nana was great. And as you know, I've turned into Nana because I went to the Chelsea Flower Show for the first time.
Generational Differences and Future Plans
00:37:31
Speaker
Nana used to go every year. So I've definitely turned into my Nana without a shout over doubt. I think this can only be a good thing. She was amazing. Yeah, she was. She was great. She was fab. Right, our kid, that's the fireside chat done for... And no fire.
00:37:50
Speaker
No, I had to, because Ruby is back at school, so my first thing was, oh my God, she's left her straighteners on. yeah no Had I left anything on? No. Was the grill on? No, nothing's on. It's clearly broken, but getting the cover off her mains attached. That's tricky, isn't it? really hard and I was getting quite angry with it so but I did it so that's fine but no for what I'm saying this is called a fireside chat and yet it's not beside a fire in the winter when I've got the log burner on I'll actually do this on my laptop so I'm actually next to a fire oh right I might do the same then in our garden and then it is a fireside chat then
00:38:36
Speaker
like All right then. Okay. Right. Right. Let's log off. Thank you for watching whoever you are. Hey, because we've got to do these videos. Don't do this. No, I'm not going around because we're going to end this here. So I'm just pretending that we're ending because they won't know that we're doing other stuff.
