You've got a violet in you. Yeah. Okay. So anyway, so I'd be begging for a TV. Eventually, my parents relented, got me a TV, and they put it up on like a, do you remember those sort of arms that come out there?
Wow, that is bougie. No, but it's not really. What are we talking, like 1985, 86? 88. 88? 88, yeah. So you've been 14? Why are you doing this? Sorry. It's the only time I'm really good at maths. Yeah. So anyway, I had the TV. I was really into raisins. Raisins? What, the food, raisins? No, what's the other option?
By the way, raisins were big characters when we were kids because they had that little advert, didn't they? Yeah, I heard it through the grapevine. Yeah, yeah. But I'm not into, I wasn't into that. No, just, no. If that's the other option. So you're lying there, so you're 88, you're nine, right? Ten. Ten, right. And you're lying there just scoffing back at raisins, looking at the...
TV on it, but TV's on the arms. That is bougie back then. No, no, I'm not. It's like a real cheap, like, it doesn't, I'm making it sound bougie than it is. It's not bougie. Yeah, but the back of the, you're talking a TV. No, but it's like, I'm going to have an actual full size, it's like a little portable TV. Yeah. And then it's on like a little arm that my dad has screwed into the wall.
Like a little hinge thing. Oh, okay. It doesn't look bougie. No, but that looks. I'll be honest with you, if I was to use a word for it, incel. Right, so I had that arm and my mum had bought me a big tub of raisins. Right? And I was lying in bed. Yeah. TV there. I was watching a film. Yeah. Just up in my room. Right? So the first early days of not having to be in the living room to watch TV.
Right? For me. You're 10. Yeah. Sitting, eating the raisins, watching a film. And I was so... This is such a sad story. I'm so happy that I'm watching a film, eating raisins in my own room, that I start to think... life can't be like this forever. And I started crying. Jesus Christ. I had no idea. Can you? That's so bleak. Thankfully, nobody came to speak to me.
Because if, I would say, like Charlie, my youngest is about that age now, right? Yeah. If I saw him crying in his room, and I went up to him and I went, mate, you okay? What's up? I just don't know if life's always going to be as happy as this. I would fucking call somebody. I'd cry myself. If I went to... Number one, can I just say, I don't think I've really ever had a moment like that.
What do you mean? This is it. By the way, that could have been the pursuit of happiness. Yeah. That could have been it for you. I mean, obviously, you've had a great time since. I don't know. If you're talking about... People talk about happiness index. What was the film, by the way? I don't want to talk about what the film was. Basic Instinct? No. Oh, okay. I'm just saying.
No, it wasn't Basic Instinct. What made you go to Basic Instinct? Just the way that you didn't want to talk about it. Oh, it's because it was fistful of dollars. I was really into Westerns. Really? You were just massively into Clint Eastwood. I loved Clint Eastwood films when I was about that age. Really? What can I tell you? VHS. It was just on. I think it must have been on.
