[laughs]
33:00
[laughs] No, I think you're right, though, about life being harder for people.
33:05
We get a lot of patients coming into the surgery saying they're really struggling.

50:05
But it's also really nice.
50:07
Yeah.
50:09
Well, look, c- can you not just maybe take it as it comes, then? Keep your expectations low but, you know, enjoy spending that time with him.
64:28
Talking to her?
64:29
Yeah.
64:30
And that could be, you know, fine, or it could be the start of something.
64:36
When I had, um...
64:38
I don't know if you remember, but a few years ago, I had this psychotic episode, and it started with me seeing Bess, my dog, when she wasn't there, I mean.
64:46
I was convinced I'd lost her.
65:29
I'm sorry?
65:31
I just think...
31:43
That's what I've been going over and over in me mind about getting screened.
31:47
So instead of driving yourself crazy looking stuff up online, talk to someone who can give you some proper advice.
31:53
Call the surgery and book an appointment.
31:55
You'll be able to think so much more clearly once you've had things put into perspective for you, all right?
34:13
No.
34:14
And that isn't because they just wanna bury their head in the sand.
34:17
I remember when I was training, talking to the daughter of a patient with a hereditary condition.
34:21
She said she wasn't gonna waste her time worrying when she could get knocked down by a bus tomorrow.

What do you see yourself doing this time next year?
29:55
Uh, I want to be working, either farming or with my own business, and the baby will be here by then, so I want to be a good dad, and I want Amber to be happy, happy with me.
30:10
And for the people in the village to, uh...
30:13
Well, it sounds silly.
33:43
I wouldn't expect anyone to be perfect.
33:46
All my family drink, and half the village are obsessed with the boo.
33:50
Why not give Lillian an alcohol tag, see how she copes without a, a G&T permanently clasped in her sweaty little hand.
2:36
Ooh.
2:36
On a medical ward.
2:38
There's been an old boy in all week.
2:39
Really sweet guy.
5:10
I'm only asking how much more tax is everyone gonna have to pay.
5:13
Look, if people want better public services, then one way or another, they're gonna have to pay for them.

Everyone's so busy watching Fallon bringing in the haggis.
9:03

47:51
I know what you mean.
47:52
[bag rustling] Right.
47:52
Thanks for these.
47:54
Oh, um, I meant to ask, Mick mentioned his mate's real ale place, told me it was excellent.
47:59
I thought next time Toby and I have a weekend free together...
