Yeah like certain songs and stuff. There's this song that, um, I knew for-- I-- I somehow just always knew it, like, when I was growing up and I never heard it but I, like, I knew it was a song. And then once I heard it and I was like "oh my gosh, what's that song?" And, like, I said to my mum and dad "I just have this weird--" I showed them the song and I was like "I have this weird thing where I think I'm in, like, a little car seat, like, when I'm a baby, like, in this car" and they were like "yeah we used to play that." And it was Porcelain by Moby which came out in, like, the late 90s.

Woah.
Michael:
It was so weird. It's really weird. And I-- I'd never heard it, like, until I was maybe, like, a year-- it was a year ago and I'd only heard it, like, once or twice when I was younger, was really weird.

Richard:
We went through a lot of underclothes in the RAF. They literally rotted off you with the sweat. Your Y-fronts and semmits and, ah, vests-- They just-- they told you to wear a vest although it was 120 so the vest rotted before your shirt 'cause the vest was cheaper. Eh, it was the underpants that just-- just rotted. So you were forever going into Aden to buy underpants and there was a competition to see who could get the cheapest Y-fronts. This is the RAF, you know. And so I decided one day I was gonna go in. I went in and if you-- if you're first in a shop, in a Muslim shop, there is an obligation for them to sell you-- will not let you out before they can sell you something. Very useful to know. Eh, and I went into this-- and he was selling Y-fronts and I haggled and haggled and haggled until eventually I got this, eh, packets of Y-fronts at a very reduced price. And I thought, great, I've- I'll-- I'm the-- I've got the record now. So I went back to the billet, got them out and they were for 12 year old boys. So I gave the whole lot to one of the lads who had teenage boys. So I actually paid more for them 'cause if I'd known they-- 12 year old boys-- you know-- young boys I was that desperate to get a bargain I did not observe what he was doing.
