10:17super productive if you ever wanted to see my scary side mess with one of my siblings really okay that's
10:27good to know we're quite different but we are very similar yeah i'd say we all have that kind of
10:35thing where people consider us quite floaty we're all born the same day the squad landed same day cool
10:44yeah that's good i actually loved to have a twin there's definitely like things that we would all
10:51find funny that nobody else would yeah if i did what you did i would fully just plant the three
10:57of them
10:58in the room really because then at least somebody would laugh yeah

11:18slave like two years ago no wonder they put us together do you happen yeah off we all have our
11:25insecurities people look at me and think oh my god she's so confident and i'm i'm not
11:31did you have it i do have it yeah isn't that mad but i got mine two years ago so
11:37did you but now i can
11:39eat like i know i'm scared i'm actually getting away no i'm not going on a diet before i'm putting
11:43on stone
11:45i think it used to be very difficult for me to get vulnerable with another person
11:49because i was so self-conscious about my body i had somebody earlier so i'm like i don't know how
11:54i'm gonna fare we understand but isn't that amazing that somebody understands that's great
12:01i'm definitely in a better position now to like be there with somebody be present and not be worrying
12:07about anything else well here it's mad like what did you lose i'd say i'd lost about nearly six down
12:13i'd say yeah no i was at the six like about the six because i'm not to putting on weight
12:19i'm about
12:20five and a half now so i've been exact same yeah when you like when you think back like i
12:27could have
12:27a quarter of toast how am i having two slices i used to go to the fridge and cry when
12:33i joined rugby
12:34it made me not focus as much on my body and more like being strong being confident in in my
12:41like my
12:41abilities well i don't know about you but my whole family was so against it the only person that
12:47wasn't really against it wasn't me mad because she knew how like how much i struggled oh my god
12:51i mean horrible because i was i was always slim like i was always slim and then i put on
12:57like five six
12:58stone i couldn't no matter what i done yeah if i walked like the fucking the north pole and back
13:05it
13:06just wasn't coming at me and i thought about it for a year and i was like i'm doing it
13:10yeah and it's
13:11the best thing i ever done it is literally the best thing i've ever done literally i swear to god
13:32every rose has its thorn just ask jesse she really knows how to pick them you should see
13:39the lads that i've gotten with before you can tell that i'm a personality girl anyway let's just leave it

16:47nurse I'm a nurse
17:10and how important is that like initial sexual attraction to be honest like that's a really big
17:16thing to me so I'm fussy I am and I don't know who I think I am she can me
17:21I get real nervous before and
17:23like this because I would like I would say like I'm gonna get extroverted introvert yeah I mean so like
17:29when I go boyfriend like this I'd be like oh yeah like be grand like I have a few drinks
17:33or whatever
17:33and then when I go home like I overthink the fuck out of everything so tomorrow now be like we'd
17:39be
17:39crippling and then it's off to normally like that we'd be in the corner rocking them where do you stand
17:46then in relation to sex on a first date that's not even as hot but I wouldn't say no so
17:53I just hope
17:54someone can keep up with me I don't stop and you know what I am that person that does hate
18:03that like
18:03air silence fires you know like where people I can't deal with the silence you know even with me
18:10own mother I'm like oh you work like what you do to it like I have to fill it that's
18:15just me now
18:16what should need a box of stress on it and where do you stand in in relation to sex on
18:22a first date
18:23what if it goes that way happy days I'm not opposed to it don't tell me I'm driving home how
18:32would you
18:32get here I was kind of like if this date goes well we'll see I'll get a hotel I know
18:40no it's actually
18:41it's not bad I looked at a teacher she's pre-planning she's pre-planning so like what are your other
18:55kind
18:56of hobbies in chess and stuff and I go to the theater yeah yeah but that's my favorite thing to
19:03do I
19:04think it's great you know do you do any theater yes I've done bits and pieces yeah yeah I'm a
19:11mate
19:11and we write we used to write together oh that's really cool yeah it was good I think it's nice
19:17of
19:18people showing interest in you I have friends who are like they're sort of set to transmit and not
19:24receive you know and that's it's fine you know well it's nice when people take an interest I like writing
19:32but like in secret yeah oh I used to share I used to share all my little cringe like emo
19:38poems I wrote in
19:39my room when I was like 14 and now I'm like maybe maybe we won't do that I've gotten into
19:45knitting I
19:46like having a bop sometimes out on a dance story sometimes by myself in my room on my hulu I
19:56like
19:56ripping up my t-shirts into crop tops and like various adjustments like I'm not saying it's good you
20:07know I mean like I don't think you look at it and be like wow that's really good but it's
20:14colorful and I
20:15enjoy it me and a mate took up fishing fishing yeah it's sort of a disaster you know we were
20:22like
20:23we're just figuring out we haven't caught anything not even close it's not going well I had to get a
20:31kid to show me on a cast like the fish are running in circles around us yeah he's just fish
20:38watching
20:39yeah he's watching the fish I think it's just hope you know I think you just have to believe you're
20:46close like it can happen we took the worms out and they started biting us oh my god what I
20:51didn't know
20:53what the hell is going on we can't catch a fish yeah who are getting eaten a lot honestly I
21:01can't I
21:01actually can't believe you're a nurse yeah yeah it's a bit of oil like when you look at me you
21:05probably
21:05wouldn't even think I'm a nurse no I wouldn't see it I was like trading a lot of people think
21:09I'm a farmer
21:09so really do you have her out frontage no a lot of people think I'm a fucking farmer I know
21:16I worked in pubs and worked on you know building sites and stuff like that and just
21:21wasn't for me what made you want to do nursing so like in like four weeks time I could be
21:34your
21:36preceptor I find like in previous relationships obviously with the job I'm doing it can be
21:48fairly mentally drained at times and if you've someone that works within the health care industry
21:51itself it they can they know what's like you know what did how how tough it can be at times
21:56do you ever go to coppers no we're going to go to sleep are you joking you've never been to
22:01coppers
22:01oh Michael yes we don't do you know what I mean like it actually does though because the stress
22:06of like every day you need a break it's long hours but like it's you you spend most time trying
22:12to
22:12spend you know so it's like to be a nurse like and trying to be like yeah it's tough it's
22:15tough it is
22:16it is tough um why I wouldn't change it for the world oh the guns are coming out I think
22:24in the last
22:24life I was a gigolo I'll just send me a minute put that down if Ronan's past life has taught
22:35him
22:35anything it's the importance of customer satisfaction I'd be a love maker an hour to three hours no problem

25:42happy days you find it hard to like talk to people that are like me people are do you know
25:52it's like it's not it's I don't know what it is I just like obviously because I'm gay yeah like
25:58I
25:58don't go out to gay bars I don't like go to gay clubs I just go to straight clubs are
26:03a mostly DJ and
26:04so it's just hard like to meet people on that level so that's why I'm after taking a step back
26:08to be
26:09like right I need to meet people instead of just going out all the time and DJing and be behind
26:14the
26:14decks not meeting anybody and then do me set and then I'm gone do you know what I mean like
26:18I'm just
26:19looking I suppose kind of to put myself a bit more out there like that I'm after just walking on
26:26myself
26:26loads like I'm after giving time to myself where I'm kind of ready now to be like you know what
26:32let's
26:33see what's out there and just give her a little go and see what happens like as much as you
26:39want
26:39somebody to be texting you 24 7 that's not the reality of life the reality is life we have our
26:44own jobs we have our own shit in our heads like you're interested in somebody people think like
26:49you know you're not texting them back you're not interested it's just hard to meet people on a
26:53different level clearly I need somebody to match me with somebody that like when they take my gold
26:59characteristics and they put away another person so much in common already so much in common I'd say
27:06they saw gastric sleeve ADHD ADHD blonde bombshells here we go do you want to blow let's go get them
27:14together
27:21you ever been on a bad date yourself yeah I mean usually I have dates where like people want to
27:27get really
27:28drunk and then like immediately trying to like maul you and I'm like that's not happening yeah yeah I
27:36tend to get into relationships rather than date casually for whatever reason I think when I connect with
27:43someone I really do you got our kids yeah yeah I use them you know when I was young I
27:59didn't get them you
27:59know I didn't quarrel with them you know anything like that but yeah they're good for them I'd like to
28:10like
28:10live in a house with partner and maybe like a little cat and a dog I never I never thought
28:17about
28:17it when I was younger but I think I have the urge to nurture yeah something I do see like
28:25when I see
28:26little kids running around I do be kind of I'd be responsible for myself what else are you interested in

33:55I'm just like, aw.
33:56Like, she's a lovely-looking girl, but, like, absolutely lovely-looking girl.
34:01Like, I'm just, like, you know, fucking self-force. See, we'll see what way it goes.
34:04But, erm, what are you doing? I'll give you a ring and a beer.
34:08Yeah, the ring and I'll do it, right? And let me know what to tell you.
34:11Right, then I will love, right? How's it going so far?
34:14So good. She's lovely. She's lovely. She's gas.
34:17She's a chatterbox, and I love that, cos I'm such a chatterbox. Anyway.
34:21Yeah, you both seem to be really comfortable and just both, like, well-abled.
34:25I'm so glad, cos I was like, what? If someone's, like, not talking, I would die.
34:29I know. You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah.
34:31She's lovely. Oh, that's great.
34:33Oh, my God, fucking hell.
34:35Come on. It's fucking nerve-wrecking in here. How are you getting on?
34:39Brilliant. Fucking nurse and all, eh?
34:41Oh, yeah, they match up well. They do, don't they? They do match up well.
34:45Is it bad if I start eating without him? No. No.
34:51Do you know what? He's actually, dare I say, we're in the same career.
34:54He's a nurse. But, oh, he's nice. I wouldn't, I wouldn't tell him that to his face.
35:00Right, love. See you later, love.
35:02Yes.
35:04Were you ever married, Rome? No. No. No. No. No.
35:10I've lived with Rome. Right me so. Yeah. The mother of my kids. Yeah.
35:14We still live next door. Oh, right.
35:17I've gone trees in the house. Right.
35:20And I'm in the grander flat, I call it.
35:23But it's my own pad. I'm so happy I live. Yeah.
35:26I was with the mother of my children for 16 years.
35:30But we're still great friends, you know, with the kids.
35:33But them still get on great. Oh, I am.
35:36I could be in there with them, having dinner, you know, tonight or...
35:39Yeah, absolutely.
35:41I suppose I half missed it because I had my own truck at the time
35:45and I was walking morning, noon and night,
35:47giving the money, the cars, the holders, da-da-da-da-da,
35:50and I suppose that's how it ended up because I wasn't there.
35:57Everything should be okay, but obviously not.
36:01And do they know where you are?
36:03No. Yeah. Yeah, of course they do.
36:05No. Just that.
36:06Yeah, yeah, yeah.
36:08What are you going to do? Tell me not to go.
36:11You know what I mean?
36:13Yeah, true. True.
36:14And when you get to a certain age, you say to yourself,
36:18I think I deserve it.
36:21A bit of happiness.
36:22With all the graft and done, you see.
36:24Yeah.
36:26I think so.
36:33How many brothers and sisters, Jav?
36:35I have five brothers and sisters.
36:37Three? Yeah.
36:37Five brothers and sisters?
36:39Yeah, big family.
36:40Yeah, I'm the only girl and then I have two brothers and no sisters.
36:48Do you know what I would say? I would say that is, like, if ever went wrong, I'm like, you
36:54needed someone to call.
36:56Yes, they're sisters.
36:57Yeah.
36:58Like, I live with my sister, so, like...
37:00You live with your sister?
37:01Yeah.
37:02My parents, well, my mom lives in Calvin, and my dad lives in the same village, just not in the
37:05same house, but, like...
37:06I split up.
37:07Mm-hmm.
37:08Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
37:08Oh, yeah.
37:10Oh, yeah.
37:10Oh, yeah.
37:11I love my mother.
37:12Don't talk to your father, lady.
37:13Fine.
37:15I'm a twin.
37:16Yeah.
37:18Okay, thanks.
37:20That's brilliant.
37:21Like an identical one, or?
37:22Do you just wear a match that opens?
37:23I used to think, right?
37:24No, we don't.
37:24We used to do when we were children, and the same haircuts now, right?
37:27Well, I said to the mother, cut that shit out, all right?
37:30Because, in fairness, it's not being a twin already.
37:31That's not you.
37:31It's not me.
37:32That's not you.
37:33There's the bond that comes with being a twin that people probably wouldn't really understand.
37:39Can I be rude and ask to see a picture of your brother?
37:41Ag one.
37:42Yeah, but, like, you can fucking tell, oh, he's good-looking, then.
37:45No, in fairness, he's in a relationship for five and a half years, so...
37:48It's kind of, yeah, yeah, fuck, yeah.
37:50I wish it was him that was here.
37:50Yeah.
37:51So, like, obviously, this is just when we were younger, right?
37:54It's like, we look spitting, you know, same old girls.
37:56Wait, can I see which one's you?
37:59That one's you.
38:00That one.
38:00I'm done.
38:01Jeez, okay.
38:02Yeah.
38:03I like someone that's big into family and stuff, and, you know, family aren't out.
38:06It's something that's really close to me.
38:08I would say I'm very close to my mother, and someone that'd be close to her parents is a big
38:11thing as well.
38:13I actually think it tells a lot about the person, if they're really close to their family and that they
38:17care about them and stuff like that.
38:18Like, I'm really, really close to my sisters.
38:20Pretty.
38:21Like, mad close.
38:22She's no brothers?
38:22No.
38:23No.
38:24So, I don't have to worry about...
38:25You don't have to worry about, well, my dad, no.
38:27He'd be...
38:28He'd spit you up and she'd, you know what I mean?
38:30What's going on here now?
38:30What's your attention?
38:31He gave me a checklist.
38:33If he does this, leave.
38:34Checklist?
38:35If he does this, leave.
38:36And have I done anything yet?
38:37No, no, no, not yet.
38:39No, it's young though.
38:48No, let me get that.
38:49Don't be stupid.
38:50Jesus Christ.
38:51Don't stop it.
38:51No, give it to me.
38:52Honestly, will you stop?
38:53Jesus Christ.
38:54I've had such a good time with you.
38:56No, listen, stop it.
38:57Absolutely not.
38:58Don't be stupid.
38:59Honestly, don't be stupid.
39:01Honestly, I get it.
39:02I had a great time, honestly.
39:03Don't be stupid.
39:05It was good.
39:06It was scary.
39:07She was the best.
39:09Kept up with me.
39:10That's what I needed.
39:11Yeah, no, honestly, I had a lovely time.
39:13It's mad, isn't it?
39:14It's fucking crazy, like, just, like, being bleeding here.
39:18Would you say that you fancied her?
39:21Definitely.
39:22Do you think she fancied you?
39:24I don't know.
39:25We did match each other's energy, so I would hope so.
39:28And she did pay for the bill.
39:29So, I do think so.
39:32Yeah.
39:33Yeah, give the stray dogs that food, will you?
39:35Absolutely.
39:35Thanks so much.
39:38Would you like to see each other again romantically?
39:43To be honest, I think you're such a beautiful person inside out.
39:47I think you're stunning looking.
39:49I just think that more on my part, there was just more, like, friendship.
39:54Like, there was obviously, like, something there.
40:03I had a great date and I thought, like, we match each other in so many ways and we were
40:10very friendly.
40:11Would have been nice to whether, like, to see whether we could have, like, expanded on that.
40:18I just thought, like, it was going well.
40:21But it's quant.
40:22Like, I didn't expect her to be like, alright, like, let's get married or anything.
40:26But I just thought, like, she would be open for a drink or whatever.
40:29Do you know what I mean?
40:30But it is what it is.
40:32You know?
40:33Yeah.
40:34That's life.
40:43And where would you drive the buses from then?
40:46I do from here to trim.
40:48From dry to, yeah, yeah.
40:49Or else you do at loan.
40:52At loan.
40:54It's bread and butter on the table.
40:55Oh, it is, yeah.
40:56As the saying goes, bread and butter on the table.
40:58Yeah.
40:59No, no.
41:00Why do you think you're single?
41:02I genuinely don't know because if I'm with somebody, I'm with them.
41:05I don't, I don't, I wouldn't play around or anything like that.
41:09So I can't understand.
41:11I ask myself the same thing.
41:13Oh, no, it's a great job.
41:14Yeah.
41:15Great job.
41:15Well, once you enjoy it.
41:17Yeah.
41:17Oh, I love it.
41:18You know what I mean?
41:18Yeah.
41:19Like me, with me care, I love it.
41:21I love it.
41:21How many do you have?
41:22Only one.
41:23Oh, that's brilliant.
41:24Yeah.
41:25Yeah.
41:25I think that kind of shows the person that I am, really, you know?
41:30Because, like, it takes a lot of care for it to look after a person.
41:34But that's me.
41:35That's me.
41:35I worry about everybody, Ronan.
41:37I used to.
41:38That's me downfall.
41:39No, I used to.
41:40Ronan, I do.
41:41And then I got mugged on that many times.
41:44No one ever rings my phone and says, do you want to come out?
41:47Do you want to do?
41:48No.
41:49Do they not?
41:49No.
41:50Oh, that's not nice.
41:51Give us.
41:52It's all.
41:53And that's fine.
41:54Yeah.
41:54That's fine.
41:55Yeah, but it's not nice.
41:57It's nice for someone to give you a call and say, how are you?
42:00Even if they're not.
42:01They're not.
42:02You're not.
42:02You're not.
42:07That's lovely.
42:08That is brilliant.
42:09Can I hit it now?
42:10Yeah, go for it.
42:11What's the most important thing to you?
42:13Probably someone who can just make me laugh.
42:15Just someone I can be a bit more natural with.
42:18And someone that can take a good slagging.
42:20What are you?
42:21What are you?
42:22What are you?
42:23What are you?
42:23Oh, fuck.
42:24No, but if I say it now, you're going to be like.
42:26I see.
42:27What are you?
42:28I should know what I am.
42:30What do you think I am?
42:31That's a good question.
42:32What do you think I am?
42:33I would say you're about 5'11".
42:35Fuck, that's you being nice in Paris.
42:37Are you shorter than me?
42:39The nicer I am to you, that's not going to happen.
42:42Like, that is not going to happen.
42:43My way of flirting is, like, rude.
42:46Stares.
42:46Like, I'm just like, that's probably the best I can do.
42:49You're not a fight you fight by now.
42:50You're a softer.
42:52Oh, no.
42:53So you're going to take me over.
42:53You may be all cuddled as your best friends, but I am, no.
42:56I can't pretend to like something.
42:59Like, if I was handed a gift that I didn't like, I'd be like, oh.
43:01Do you know what I mean?
43:01Like, I'm very obvious.
43:03I wear my hair on my sleeve.
43:05So you've never been in a relationship?
43:06Oh, my God, no.
43:08Why?
43:09Just cause, like.
43:11What would make you want to be in a relationship?
43:12Do you want to be in a relationship?
43:13I do.
43:13If I find the right person.
43:14Well, what's the right person?
43:15Oh, my God.
43:16Stop actually.
43:17No.
43:19It's only a way to find out.
43:20I know.
43:20Do you know what?
43:20I'd like a fella.
43:21If I had the chance, if I met like the right lad, I'd like to be in a relationship.
43:24I would.
43:25No, I actually would.
43:26I'd like to give it a go.
43:30No, so what did you think of the day?
43:32Yeah, good.
43:32Good.
43:33Yeah?
43:33Yeah, yeah.
43:34How about yourself?
43:35Yeah, yeah.
43:37In a ball.
43:38As soon as I seen him, I said, yeah, he would be a good laugh.
43:41So, that's what we had.
43:42We had a good laugh, if nothing else, you know.
43:45I wouldn't want to be with somebody that you can't have a laugh and you can say something
43:50to them and they'll take.
43:51I don't want them to take it, you know.
43:53Yeah.
43:54You know.
43:54Have a laugh.
43:55Exactly.
43:56That's the way I am.
43:57I love a laugh.
43:58Bit of crap.
44:00Do you think you guys would like to see each other romantically again?
44:05I don't think so.
44:06No.
44:07I don't think so.
44:08No.
44:09He's a gentleman.
44:10Ronan is a gentleman, a very, very nice man.
44:13But I didn't, I had a good time with him.
44:17He had a good laugh.
44:18But I didn't find any spark.
44:22And vice versa.
44:24Had a great time.
44:25Had a great day.
44:26Yeah, yeah.
44:27And just as he says, there's no spark, you know.
44:29Yeah, yeah.
44:30Not uncommon, but no spark.
44:32Yeah.
44:33That's life, unfortunately.
44:36There.
44:37Thank you so much.
44:38It was an absolute pleasure.
44:39And it was a pleasure.
44:40Thank you very much.
44:41Thank you very much.
44:42Thank you kindly.
44:43You too.
44:44God bless.
44:48Well, they say her again, probably as a friend, you know what I mean?
44:51But I didn't find anything romantic, unfortunately.
44:56And I'm really sorry to say that.
44:59You know, my age, I say something like that.
45:02You know what I mean?
45:05Yeah.
45:06Right.
45:07Right.
45:07Now, thank you very much for a lovely day.
45:09Right.
45:09Right.
45:09You too.
45:09And I wish you all the best.
45:11God bless.
45:12All right.
45:12Right.
45:13Right.
45:13You too little.
45:16Do you think you guys would meet up as friends?
45:19Ah, you never know.
45:20If you're passing through, if you're passing through, you're a bus driver.
45:23If you're passing through, give me a wife.
45:25No problem.
45:28Thanks very much.
45:29See yous later.
45:31This is fucking gorgeous.
45:32No, it's so good.
45:34You got something?
45:36No.
45:37No.
45:38I can't feel it.
45:40I feel like I'm feeding the patient.
45:43Open up.
45:46It's just stunning.
45:47Yeah.
45:48You've done well now, in fairness.
45:50There was plenty of crack and, yeah, no, I'm very happy now, in fairness.
45:53Yeah, absolutely.
45:54But my thing is, like, you're still good.
45:55It's so obvious about how you feel.
45:57I feel.
45:57More so than me.
45:59But what, like, there's no point pissing around.
46:01I know, I appreciate that, like, but you're, I'm direct, but you're direct.
46:07There's no point hanging around, really, is there?
46:09I mean, like, you like to play hard to get.
46:11I can see it by you already.
46:12You do?
46:13Excuse me.
46:14Absolutely.
46:15Is it fancier?
46:16Yeah, small bit.
46:16I won't say it too much too early.
46:18I thought it would be awesome, you know?
