Speaker 1: Shared houses.

7
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,160
Speaker 3: I just can't kindage for two years of my life

8
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:22,440
Speaker 3: when I was at university, me and seven mates were

9
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 3: in this three story dive, an absolute dive, I don't

10
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:28,480
Speaker 3: think these days. You know, this was in nineteen ninety

11
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 3: three when maybe housing stands a little bit lax. We

12
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 3: were in the UK's The area we were in was

13
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:35,880
Speaker 3: actually famous and made a big documentary with the BBC.

14
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 3: Did it was your It's most dangerous crack area of drugs.

15
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 3: We didn't know at the time it was just dirt cheap.

16
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 3: Then when we moved in there and there was always

17
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 3: like police raids next door in the middle of the

18
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 3: night and you know, all kinds of stuff gone, we

19
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 3: realized why this place is so cheap, this is so dangerous.

20
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 3: But anyway it was. It was a priest who was

21
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 3: the landlord, and obviously seven guys and three story building.

22
00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 3: You know, you're at that age where it's the first

23
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 3: time you're living from home. We were idiots, and I

24
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 3: remember that a couple of us had bikes because it

25
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:06,960
Speaker 3: was cheaper to get around the city. And remember we

26
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 3: would late at night, at midnight and stuff up this.

27
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:09,919
Speaker 1: When we burn out.

28
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 3: We would get the bikes at the top of the

29
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 3: three story building and cycle them through the house, as

30
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 3: in down the stairs, and there was obviously prize is

31
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,320
Speaker 3: for anyone who could. No one ever made it by

32
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 3: the way all the way down, and then one of

33
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 3: the lands actually broke his forum and had to be

34
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 3: taking the hospital. This did not stop us doing this

35
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 3: game for two years. And I remember one of the

36
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,759
Speaker 3: worst things as well is some of the guys had

37
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 3: adult magazines.

38
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I had.

39
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,119
Speaker 3: I had a girlfriend at another university and she would

40
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 3: twice a month come and stay for a weekend. I said, guys,

41
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 3: you know, I really can't have you having those kind

42
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 3: of magazines is lying around. It's horrible and it upsets

43
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 3: so and I don't want to.

44
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: Where would they have them coffee table? It was just disgusting.

45
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 3: Okay, it was foul, and I said, listen, I don't

46
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 3: want to see it anyway, but when she comes to

47
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 3: you have to tidey in the away. So what we

48
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 3: agreed was they would keep them in the freezer and

49
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 3: then it was outside. I just wanted it outside. It

50
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 3: was disgusting. Men are foul. And I remember one weekend though,

51
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 3: me and her, we were cooking and she went, I said,

52
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 3: they're in the freezer, and I forgot. Obviously this was

53
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 3: actually a working library of top shelf grumble max and

54
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 3: I heard this, Oh my god, and I went, oh, no,

55
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 3: she's seen the library.

56
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,359
Speaker 1: Absolutely horrified. Anyway, remember one day there was so much mess.

57
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 3: We just trashed this place. It was like animal house

58
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 3: in there. Towards the end of the two years, the

59
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 3: priest came round the landlord I do to do one

60
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 3: of his random inspections right.

61
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 1: And I remember it was sober.

62
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 3: There was like a broken window and it was just

63
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:39,839
Speaker 3: like that hadn't been repaired. We han't talked about an age,

64
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 3: and it was just mess everywhere, and it was at

65
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,239
Speaker 3: some point a nice house. I remember he burst into

66
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 3: tears and ran out the building. And that's when I

67
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 3: realized we've made a priest crime. Shame on all of

68
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,840

Speaker 2: the house. I moved my bed into the living room,

84
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,679
Speaker 2: and then every winter I would convert the living room

85
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 2: into my bedroom.

94
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 4: we get up for some of the most ridiculous games,

95
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 4: like I remember one time we I think we found

96
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 4: the s litt lawn balls on hard Robison. We used

97
00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 4: to exactly we well, we just walk around on the

98
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 4: lawn ball. You have to reach beyond you, grab the

99
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 4: one behind you, put it in front and walk on that.

100

Speaker 3: of the training pre season for footy players to strengthen

105
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 3: up those ankles. I think this is a great strength

106
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 3: training and sort of balance thing. I'm actually the dan's

107
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 3: doing this. I'll have a better season.
