So we get to, it's in Benidorm.

I go cause I'm like, he's one of my best mates.

hate being sort of scammed or undermined.

everybody feels like they're being done over they're being rinsed when you hear these stories exactly and it's like oh there's a

guy that's got free parking but he's well enough to do ketamine in Benidorm do you know what I mean so he comes in he's assured me he'll put the CPAP machine on he doesn't it's just like it's I've never heard anything like this snoring it's like it's like a yeah it's like a car bomb it's insane and then in the morning I wake up I've had like two hours sleep I wake up he wakes up and then he's kind of semi-apologetic.

And then, but then he goes, he starts being like, have you got kids? And I was like, no, no, I'm not going to kids.
