10:39we're all born the same day the squad landed the same day cool yeah that's good i actually loved
10:47him a twin there's definitely like things that we would all find funny that nobody else would yeah

11:41know i'm going on
11:42a diet before i'm on the phone on stone i think it used to be very difficult for me to
11:47get vulnerable
11:48with another person because i was so self-conscious about my body i had somebody earlier so i don't know
11:54how i'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's my like what should you lose i'd say i'd lost about nearly six down
12:13i think yeah no i was at the six like about the six yeah because i'm not to putting on
12:19weight i'm
12:19about five and a half now so i've been exact same yeah when you like when you think back like
12:26i could
12:27have a quarter of toast yeah i'm having two slices but i used to go to the fridge and cry
12:32when i joined
12:33rugby it made me not focus as much on my body and more like being strong being confident in in
12:40my like
12:41my abilities my 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
12:51do you know what i mean horrible because i was i was always slim like i was always slim and
12:57then i put
12:57on like five six stone i couldn't no matter what i done yeah if i walked like the fucking the
13:05north
13:05pole and back it just wasn't coming at me and i thought about it for a year and i was

19:08i've done bits and pieces yeah yeah i have a mate and we write we used to write together oh
19:13that's
19:13really cool yeah it was good i think it's nice when people show an interest in you i have friends
19:20who
19:21are like they're sort of set to transmit and not receive you know and that's it's fine you know well
19:28it's nice when people take an interest i like writing but like in secret yeah oh i used to share
19:35it i used to
19:35share all my little cringe like emo poems i wrote my room when i was like 14 and now i'm
19:40like
19:42maybe maybe we won't do that i've gotten into knitting i like having a bop sometimes out on a dance
19:50story sometimes by myself in my room on my hulu i like ripping up my t-shirts into crop tops
20:00and like
20:03various adjustments cool like i'm not saying it's good you know i mean like i don't think you'd look
20:09at it and be like wow that's really good but it's colorful and i enjoy it me and me took
20:17up fishing
20:18fishing fishing yeah it's sort of a disaster you know we were like we'll just figure it out we
20:24haven't caught anything not even close it's not going well i had to get a kid to show me how
20:31to cast
20:33like the fish are running circles around us yeah you know he's fish watching yeah he's watching the fish
20:41i think it's just hope you know i think you just have to believe you're close like it can happen
20:47we took the worms out and they started biting us oh my god what i didn't know it could bite
20:52we were just like what the hell is going on like you can't catch a fish yeah who are getting
20:57eaten
20:57they're lying honestly i can't i actually can't believe you're a nurse yeah yeah when you look at
21:05me you probably wouldn't even think i'm a nurse no i was like trading a lot of people think i'm
21:09a farmer
21:09so really really yeah do you have a road frontage no there you go a lot a lot of people
21:14think i'm a
21:15fucking farmer i know i worked in pubs and worked on you know building sites and stuff like that and
21:21it just wasn't for me what made you want to do nursing no i actually don't know you're qualified
21:29but i don't know no i'm four weeks four weeks off being qualified yeah yeah so like in like four
21:33weeks time i could be your preceptor imagine imagine hey hey you're doing brilliant michael
21:40you're doing great give me your sheet i'll give you feedback oh stop no please don't
21:43i find like in previous relationships obviously with the job i'm doing it can be fairly mentally
21:48drying at times and if you've someone that works within the healthcare industry itself it they can
21:52they know what's like you know how how tough it can be at times do you ever go to coffers
21:57no
21:58are you joking you've never been to coffers oh michael 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
22:12explain you know so it's like to be a nurse like and trying to be like yeah it's tough it
22:16is it is
22:17tough um why i wouldn't change it for the world oh the guns are coming out i think in the
22:24last life

26:43reality
26:43is life we have our own jobs we have our own shit in our heads like you're interested in somebody
26:47people think like you know you're not texting them back you're not interested it's just hard to meet
26:52people on a different level clearly i needed somebody to match me with somebody that like
26:57when they take my good characteristics and they put it with another person absolutely so much in common
27:03already so much in common i say they saw gastric sleeve adhd adhd blonde bombshells here we go

27:27to get
27:28really drunk and then like immediately immediately trying to like maul you and i'm like that's not
27:33happening yeah yeah i've been i tend to get into relationships rather than date casually for whatever

30:21Shite.
30:21I got dismissed a couple of, about a month ago, two months ago.
30:25Oh, this one.
30:26And she dismissed me twice.
30:28There was one time I was on POF and the picture was a bit, but that's not a problem.
30:35And this girl, she said she'd come to meet me.
30:38I said, fair enough.
30:39And next thing she popped up and I was, oh my God, I thought I was all granny.
30:45Had the tongue on me, you'd say.
30:46Yeah, well, sure, I told me all.
30:48Yeah.
30:49Be yourself.
30:49Don't put any faults or errors or graces on for anybody.
30:53Oh, no, no, no.
30:54I don't, anyway.
30:56I would feel lonely a lot of the times and some Saturday nights if I'm sitting in and
31:02I'm saying, what's this about, like, you know what I mean?
31:04How can I be so lonely?
31:06But look, I'm not going to pee on myself.
31:09But yeah, yeah, it does get lonely.
31:12But I suppose everyone gets lonely, that's single, you know.
31:14What are you looking for?
31:16Someone to go out with, someone to travel with.
31:19Do you know what I mean?
31:19I'm a driver.
31:20Yeah.
31:20Because I love driving.
31:21I don't know what's the problem.
31:22So distance wouldn't be a problem?
31:23No, no, no.
31:24Sure, you drive.
31:25I'm friends.
31:26See, I don't drive.
31:27I stop driving.
31:28Yeah, well...
31:29I use public transport.
31:30That's what you find.
31:31God, that's good.
31:32God bless Charlie High.
31:41How you doing?
31:42You've got really nice eyes.
31:46Yeah, they're very cool.
31:47You have nice eyes too.
31:50You're doing, like, very, um, like, crystal-y kind of.
31:56Yeah.
31:56Yeah.
31:57I suppose it's true.
31:59It was good.
32:00It was good fun.
32:02Yeah.
32:03I had a good time, anyway.
32:05Would you let me get this?
32:06No, no, no, no, no, no.
32:08No.
32:08No, no, no, no, no.
32:09Honestly.
32:10No, no, no, no, no.
32:11No, let's do it.
32:12Let's do it.
32:13Thank you, though.
32:13That's really kind.
32:14That's really nice.
32:15No.
32:16We were talking for the whole thing.
32:18That was good, you know.
32:19She's a very interesting person.
32:21She's curious, you know, about life.
32:23That's good.
32:24Yeah.
32:25That's what I like about her.
32:27Hey, guys.
32:27Hey.
32:28Should I?
32:28Oh, yeah, yeah.
32:29All right, guys.
32:30So, moment of truth.
32:32Mm-hmm.
32:33Would you like to see each other again romantically?
32:39Yeah, I think so.
32:40I think I'd like to hang out and get to know you more.
32:43I'd definitely be up for that.
32:44Okay, cool.
32:45Yeah.
32:46Yeah, nice.
32:47Yeah, that'd be good.
32:49Thank you so much.
32:50Love you to meet you.
32:55You're handsome, though.
32:56I told you you have lovely eyes, and I meant it.
32:58Oh, dear.
32:59Yeah.
33:00I think we're on the same page, you know.
33:03Yeah.
33:03I think so.
33:09Yeah, he's really nice.
33:10He's lovely.
33:11He's funny as well.
33:13Yeah, I feel like he's a good chap.
33:15Yeah.
33:15He's a really cool guy.
33:18What will you guys do for date number two?
33:22Botanic gardens or something?
33:24Oh, yeah.
33:25Do you like gardens?
33:25I like a garden.
33:26Yeah.
33:27Or park, maybe.
33:28Yeah.
33:32Hey.
33:35Yes, we're done here.
33:49Here, do you know what?
33:50Absolutely, like, it's gone lovely.
33:51It's gone lovely, but, you know yourself, you know me, I'm just like, ah.
33:56Like, she's a lovely-looking girl, but, like, absolutely lovely-looking girl.
34:01Like, I'm just, like, you know, fucking selfless.
34:02See, we'll see what way it goes.
34:04But, um, what are you doing?
34:06I'll give you a ring in a bit.
34:08Yeah, the ring in a minute, I'll do it, right?
34:10And let me know what to start.
34:11Right, then, I will love, right?
34:13How's it going so far?
34:14So good.
34:15She's lovely.
34:16She's lovely.
34:16She's gas.
34:17She's a chatterbox, and I love that, because I'm such a chatterbox.
34:21Anyway.
34:21Yeah, you both seem to be really comfortable and just both, like, well-abled.
34:25I'm so glad, because I was like, why?
34:26If someone's, like, not talking, I would die.
34:29You know what I mean?
34:30Yeah, yeah.
34:31She's lovely.
34:32Oh, that's great.
34:33Oh, my God, fucking hell, man.
34:35Come on.
34:36It's fucking nerve-wracking in here.
34:38How are you getting on?
34:39Brilliant.
34:40Fucking nurse and all, ain't it?
34:41Oh, fuck, yeah, they match up well.
34:43They do, don't they?
34:44They do match up well.
34:45Is it bad if I start eating without him?
34:47No.
34:47No.
34:51Do you know what?
34:52He's actually, dare I say, we're in the same career.
34:55He's a nurse, but, oh, he's nice.
34:57I wouldn't, I wouldn't tell him that to his face.
35:00Right, love?
35:01Right, go on.
35:01See you later, love.
35:04Were you ever married, Rome?
35:06No.
35:07No.
35:10I'd love with them.
35:11Like me so.
35:11The mother of my kids for.
35:14We still live next door.
35:15Oh, right.
35:17And I'm choosing the house.
35:19Right.
35:20And I'm in the grander flat, I call it.
35:23But me own pad, I'm happy to live.
35:25Yeah.
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.
35:35Oh, I am.
35:36I could be in there with them, having dinner, you know, tonight.
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.
36:04Yeah.
36:04Yeah, of course they do.
36:05That's sad.
36:06That's what people don't, yeah.
36:08What are you going to do?
36:09Tell me not to go.
36:11You know what I meant.
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.
36:22You've pulled 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, yeah.
36:37Five brothers and sisters?
36:39Yeah, a big family.
36:40I'm the only girl and then I have two brothers and no sisters.
36:44I love a sister.
36:45I love their corns.
36:48No, do you know what I would say?
36:50I would say that is, like, if everyone's wrong, I'm like, you needed someone to call.
36:56Yes, it's so serious.
36:57Yeah.
36:58Like, I live with my sister, so, like...
37:00You live with your sister?
37:01Yeah.
37:02My parents, well, my mum lives in cabin and my dad lives in the same village, just not in the
37:05same house, but, like...
37:06I used to love?
37:07Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
37:09Oh, yeah.
37:10Oh, yeah.
37:11I love my mother.
37:12Don't talk to me, Father, lady.
37:13Okay.
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 matching outfits?
37:23I used to think, right?
37:24No, we don't.
37:24We used to do it when we were children, and the same haircuts and all, right?
37:27But I said to the mother, cut that shit out, all right?
37:30Because, in fairness, it's not being a twin already.
37:31It's not me.
37:31That's not you.
37:32That's not you.
37:33There was 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 the relationship for five and a half years, so...
37:48It's kind of, yeah, yeah, fuck, yeah.
37:49I 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, which is the same.
37:56Wait, can I see which one's you?
37:58That one's you.
38:00That one.
38:00I'm done.
38:01Jeez, okay.
38:02Yeah.
38:03I'd 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'm very close to my mother, and someone that'd be close to their parents is a big thing as well.
38:13I actually think it tells a lot about the person if they're really close to their family and not to
38:17care about them and stuff like that.
38:18Like, I'm really, really close to my sisters.
38:20Pretty.
38:20Like, mad close.
38:22She's no worse?
38:22No.
38:23No.
38:23So, I don't have to worry about...
38:25You don't have to worry about...
38:26My dad now, he'd be...
38:28He'd switch you up into your age, you know what I mean?
38:29What's going on here now?
38:30What's your...
38:31He gave me a checklist.
38:33If he does this leave...
38:34Checklist?
38:34If he does this leave...
38:36And have I done anything else?
38:37No, no, no, not yet.
38:39No, it's young though.
38:48No, let me get that.
38:49Don't be stupid, Jesus Christ.
38:51Don't...
38:52No, give it to me.
38:52Honestly, will you stop, Jesus Christ.
38:54I've had such a good time with you.
38:56Let me...
38:57Absolutely not.
38:58Don't be stupid, honestly.
38:59Don't be stupid.
39:01Honestly, I get it.
39:02I had a great time.
39:03Honestly, don't be stupid.
39:04It was good.
39:05It was scary.
39:07She was the best.
39:09Kept up with me.
39:10That's what I needed.
39:11Yeah, no, honestly.
39:12I had a lovely time.
39:13It's mad, isn't it?
39:14It's fucking crazy.
39:15I know.
39:15Just 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.
39:30So, 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
39:47inside out.
39:47I think it's stunning looking.
39:49I just think that more on my part, it 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
40:09and we were very friendly.
40:11Would have been nice to see whether we could have like expanded on that.
40:18I just thought like it was going well, but it's quite like I didn't expect her to be
40:24like, all right, like let's get married or anything like what I just thought like she
40:28would be open for a drink or whatever.
40:29Do you know what I mean?
40:30But it is what it is.
40:32You know, that's life.
40:43And where would you drive the buses from?
40:45I do from here to Trim.
40:48From here to, yeah, yeah.
40:49Or else you do at loan.
40:53It's bread and butter on the table.
40:55Oh, it does.
40:56As the saying goes, bread and butter on the table.
40:58Yeah.
40:59You know?
40:59Why do you think you're single?
41:01I 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.
41:12Oh, that's a great job.
41:14Yeah.
41:14Great job.
41:15Well, wouldn't you enjoy it?
41:17Yeah.
41:17I love it.
41:18You know what I mean?
41:18Yeah.
41:18Like me with me care.
41:20I love it.
41:21Love it.
41:21How many do you have?
41:22Only one.
41:23Oh, that's brilliant.
41:24Yeah.
41:25I think that kind of shows the person that I am, really, you know, because like it takes
41:30a 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 my downfall.
41:39No, I used to.
41:40Ronan, I do.
41:41And then I got mugged 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.
41:50That's not nice.
41:51Give us.
41:52It's all.
41:53That's fine.
41:53Yeah, that's fine.
41:55Yeah, but it's not nice.
41:56It's nice for someone to give you a call and say, how are you?
42:00Even if you're not.
42:01Daniel.
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.
42:20Why do you?
42:21Why do you?
42:22Why do you?
42:23Oh, fuck.
42:24No, but if I say it now, you're going to be like, ooh, ooh, ooh.
42:26See?
42:27Why do you?
42:29Actually, you 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, stares.
42:46Like, I'm just like, that's probably the best I can do.
42:49You're not a fighting type on you, you're a soft one.
42:51Oh, no.
42:53So you're going to tell me you're...
42:53You may be all cuddled with your best friends, but I am, no.
42:57I 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 because, like...
43:11What would make you want to be in a relationship?
43:12Do you want to be in a relationship?
43:13I do, if I find the right person.
43:14Well, what's the right person?
43:15Oh, my God, stop actually.
43:17No.
43:18Direct question.
43:19It's certainly worth to find out.
43:20I know, you know what, I'd like a fella.
43:21If I had the chance and 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.
43:30Now, so what do you think of the day?
43:32Yeah, good.
43:32Good.
43:33Yeah?
43:33Yeah, yeah.
43:34What about yourself?
43:35Yeah, yeah.
43:37And 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 he'll take.
43:51I don't want them to take it, you know?
43:53Yeah.
43:54You know, have a laugh.
43:55Yeah, yeah.
43:56Exactly.
43:56Because that'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.
44:09Ronan is a gentleman, a very, very nice man.
44:13But I didn't...
44:15I 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.
44:27And just as it says, there's no spark, you know?
44:29Yeah, yeah.
44:30Not uncommon, but no spark.
44:32Yeah.
44:33That's life, unfortunately.
44:36Now, thank you so much.
44:38It was an absolute pleasure.
44:39And it was a pleasure.

44:43You too.
44:44God bless.

45:38I want to feel it.
45:40I feel like I'm feeling the patient.
45:43Open up.
45:46She's stunning.
45:48You've done well, now, in fairness.
45:50There's plenty of crack, and yeah, I'm very happy, now, in fairness.
45:53Yeah, absolutely.
45:54But my thing is, like, you're so obvious about how you feel.
45:57I feel more so than me.
45:59But what, like, there's no point pissing around with.

46:12You do?
46:13Excuse me.
46:14Absolutely.
46:15Do you fancy her?
46:15I don't know, yeah, small bit.
46:16I won't say it too much too early.
46:18Yeah, it's only going to be awesome, do you know what?
46:19Do you know what?
46:20We'll find out when we go into the little room, and I'll tell you that, do you know what?
46:22Actually, it didn't really work.
46:23No.
46:23The sparks weren't there.
46:25That's brilliant, because I was actually thinking of the sound.
46:27I love a back and forth, do you know what I mean?
46:29Like, someone that can, if I can give it, you need to be able, like, to give it back.
46:32And he was well able.
46:34So, yeah, no, but it was a good day.
46:36It was a good day.
46:38Today's first, though.
46:39Huh?
46:39You're going first.
46:41No, I'm not going first.
46:42No, I would only...
46:43I'd stay there until, I'd say, about 11 o'clock tonight, if I could.
46:46Why can't you express your feelings?
46:47Red flag.
46:48Red flag.
46:49Red flag.
46:50It's better than good.
46:51It was a very, very good day, but he might watch this, so it was bog standard.
46:56It was fine.
47:00Oh, no.
47:02I have to take my pill.
47:04Yeah.
47:07Yeah, make sure you take that.
47:11Do you know what, I actually, I don't know where you get this confidence from, but I'm, I'm a big
47:16fan.
47:16Confidence?
47:17Oh, yeah.
47:18It comes out to me.
47:20So, moment of truth.
47:24Would you like to see each other again romantically?
47:27You're going first.
47:28No, no, you go first.
47:29No, no, no.
47:30I'll go first.
47:31Yeah, absolutely.
47:32No, I had a great time.
