Or do I try and change tack?
Yeah, my partner is very good for that as well.
You need people like us in your life.
Yeah, and all my family are also exactly like that.
Oh, is it so we can get a good look at you?
You look like a little woodland sprite.
young George in his bow tie is doing rather well and then you apply to Cambridge yes was it sort of your parents must have been so proud George yeah they were they were that's one of those good moments where it's just straightforward it's like it's later on in your career where you're trying to explain to your mum and dad like what is you're doing it's like yeah I'm doing it's me and three other guys doing like three minute segments of comedy above a pub for like six years and they're like okay
But you're still working at your job at the customer service?
Yeah, absolutely.
No, 100%.
I turn up and I'm going to be a serious academic.
I'm gonna just learn I'm gonna learn and I'm gonna find my people and it's everything's all gonna make sense and I looking back at that is almost impossible to internalize feeling like that again because of how opposite it turned out to be and I very quickly
felt out of my depth.
In what way?
I just wasn't clever enough.
I went to an independent grammar school, so I had had a wonderful education that really brought out my interest in things.
It was such a privileged education that really brought out my passions and interests in things, which I still felt.
And I got there, and to be brutally honest, that part of me didn't find a home in my department.
It did eventually, when I was able to specialise more in the things that I was really interested in.
But to begin with, I was just out of my depth, and I just couldn't keep up.
