0:03 I'm trying my best to hold it in, hold it in. Shogin! Fuck off! 0:08 Sorry. All right. 0:10 Thank you. 0:11 Work is a 10-minute walk away from his home. 0:14 Hey! Fuck off! When we're together, we feel some kind of harmony, you know, there's a connection somewhere. 0:24 Filthy fags. 0:28 John's Tourette weekend gets underway with a relaxation session. 0:33 Picture in your mind a beautiful green field. 0:35 I'm up to my knees and fucking cow part. 0:38 Is there a wind? And when you're ready, if you get up from the recliner. 0:46 Hmm. 0:48 Johnny Davidson. 0:52 Hi, hello, I'm Heather from Citizens Advice Bure in Galashiels. 0:56 That actually helped at all. 0:58 Fuck off, nosy. 0:59 You p- absolutely. And we sound as advisors like we're asking really nosy questions. 1:06 Chopper died his pubes ginger. 1:08 I'm going through the list. Don't shoot the messenger. 1:10 He died his pubes ginger. 1:13 The next one is propriety of behavior with other people. Um, there's one would be expected to tolerate the behavior. 1:19 Fuck off! 1:20 Quite. That's not a very good wording for it, but there is somebody's actually 1:24 Your dogs get tense. 1:25 in the law and thought it through at last. 1:28 Yeah. 1:29 I'll leave that with you so that you can have a look at it. 1:32 You're very helpful. 1:32 Then there's more on. 1:35 Did you mean it or not?

You get 9 points for strangers have great difficulty understanding speech. 2:06 Pakistanis and Iraqis. 2:08 You get. 2:09 I get stabby with knives. 2:10 Yeah. 2:11 In the kitchen. Somebody's walking past. 2:12 It's, it's a really difficult call, though, but it's arguable that benefits-wise you should be getting the maximum benefits because at any given moment you might need a minder, but you might not. 2:22 Arthur Daley. 2:24 Quite right. It's a Jap's eye. 2:29 Where some of the ticks come from, eh? Like. 2:33 If he could meet somebody who could look beyond the, the Tourette's sin- symptoms, that he would be able to find somebody that he could kind of get on with and settle down with. 2:45 Another day, man. 2:46 There are also some positives that we can have a laugh about, especially when we're having pub quizzes and stuff at the centre. 2:52 Something like playing charades.

Yeah, hey, we're here, we're arrived at last. 3:29 I'm a chicken. 3:30 I'm a chicken fucker. 3:32 When I'm feeling down and I'm feeling a bit shite and a bit sorry for myself, I do stop myself and think, well, look what I've, look what I've achieved. 3:43 I've got my house, got my garden that I love. Eh, I've got my job, I've got my dog, and I think really, 3:53 to be honest with you, I think I've actually got a good quality of life, really. 3:58 It's a job sign.
