Action Movie legend Jean-Claude Van Damme meets British actor comedian Richard Blackwood in a comedy interview show I produced in 2001.  A difficult show for me, for many reasons - you can see younger me at a couple of points (this was a few days before the terrible events of September).

15:32 Why does Jean Claude Van Damme have a bump on his head?

From it, 16 years on, I've learnt that however hard a day's shoot is... it's only one day.  Plus that his real name is Jean-Claude Camille François Van Varenberg.  He was a very nice guy.

Yeah that's what they want.
You too, you're a normal guy. And we're here in a factory with very normal people and you can see how they make jeans because the movie--
And all the--
See the other side to Jean-Claude. The other side.
yeah hey whaaa-
Hey Jorge, momento...
Shhaa!
Like they’re for sparring.
[fighting noises]
He's good, he's good he's got the moves!
I reckon I could take him. But I ain't gonna try! Know what I mean?
This is my, by the way that's Arri, Arri Arrous, who is my jean designer.
Oh okay.
The head of my company. Dammage 7. 
He's been in the jean business for the last 22 years.
He's sacrificed all his life for jeans. But now finally he's going to work for his own brand called Dammage 7.
Every time you come here...
- Yeah
...it reminds me when I start in Los Angeles
yeah you were telling me in the car, now tell the people how you- how it was back then.
When I came in LA I came with a dream of becoming a movie star right?
Yeah.
So I came here with nothing! With that passion of wanting to make it.
Yeah.
Now I get the same passion with the jeans, but before that I came here, I drove a taxi, a limousine -
You serious?
I was sleeping in cars, I was sleeping in garage. 
Sometimes I stole my food.
I was having no money to buy the food you know?
So it was real rags to riches?
It was tough and rough!
Yeah.
And now I lost that you know when you drive the Bentley and a nice house and my kids they... they want a toy I can buy it.
Yes.
So I like to come back in this type of area.
Keeps you real.
Keeps me real, and the jean, that jean we are making it's also part of that process.
Oh wait, what's this now? What've we got here?
What have we got here?
Called the culture. Jean culture. Why culture?
That jean will have, that jean will have a pamphlet: 
"How to walk, and how to kick with it."
[Laughs]
You've got to show me that! You've got to show me that.
Low waist. 
Okay!
High here. One pocket.
Yeah.
No, sorry no bllshh...
Yeah. No bllshh
It will have the Dammage 7 line.
Yeah.
On the back. Very simple, with a side belt.
You know it's like one, two... Yeah!
You know like yes!
Your kicks are dangerous!
If you like a different colour, we'll have like 3 of them.
We'll have the culture. The teacher. And the key. K-E-Y, mono - mono.
Wow.
Not-homo.
No, no wait! Because we know Jean-Claude ain't nohomo.
We're French! I go to France...
Tell them the story.
I just land from... from America, and they say are you a humble social - you know French people, they're so obnoxious. They say the English people are---
I don't think so.
No not at all.
I'm very happy to be with Sky Channel.
Imagine like a guy... like a spy's here.
And the guy's here, like a bad guy right?
Right there.
So I go here.
This is Jean-Claude, watch this.
[Martial Arts noises]
Hey come on, this is a real guy huh?
No Bllshh-- like er...
Noone starts trouble with Jean-Claude Van Damme do they?
They can't start trouble...
It's for real stuff.
Because people say "Is he for real? Is he not for real?"
Yeah.
Of course I'm for real.
Yeah, yeah you can see that.
That's like a wide shot, no close ups, no cuts. You know?
You want to do lunch together?
Let's do lunch!
Okay we'll have lunch together. And we'll talk about life.
Yes we will, so are you going to go now
Er, Richard...
Blackwood.
No I know that but the... I slept with Richard Show.
I slept with Richard Blackwood but you didn't.
But...
I'm kidding, I didn't. But woman want to see that, we're not going to show that because it's not true!
It's not true.
That's right.
But that lady that you hugged...
Which one?
Where did she go?
This is... oh look over there and... CUT!
[LAUGHS]
[MUSIC]
[MUSIC]
Right now, the UK camera right here...
It's my show, right, right.
Nice guy.
This is what happens in LA, you're just walking down the street... bump into huge stars.
And they say hey, hi. How are ya?
[MUSIC]
[MUSIC]
I don't know my way - when I was a taxi driver in Los Angeles I didn't know my way.
So I drove those guys left and right.
He made the most money, getting lost! Right?
$13 was $26!
Cos he took the long route. But he drove us all around, and he had a navigational in the car. Just to let you know, in the spaceship. That's all I'm saying. Right, just let you know.
You believe in God? I believe in God.
Cool.
Do you believe in God?
I'm here.
Okay I hear that.
What do you want to drink? Coke?
Can I have erm- Coke is not good for the stomach bro!
That's right, I’m from Belgium man.
It's not good we've got to think ahead.
Sprite.

[wind noise] Like a horse. I'm built like a horse.
Sprite is good.
By the way I want to make a correction for "smaller hands and small feet".
I know this thing is a legend where - well the coke is good for the cows and horse.
[Laughs]
Do you think they're gonna cut that stuff out?
They'll keep it in.
No.
They'll keep it in - they're gonna keep all that stuff. They love that stuff.
Oh gosh.
I'm gonna wash my hands.
Yeah, yeah go ahead.
Wash my hands.
Go wash your hands bro, cos, I know what you've been doing.
[laughs] Handle your business. I won't tell nobody but wash your hands.
Come with me.
Are you sure?
Follow us in the toilet.
Follow us in the bathroom, so he cannot take advantage of me. [laughs]
You see how he asked ME to go to the bathroom though.
Oh sorry.
What's up!
Well I'm in here, I'll see you guys in a minute.
Gonna handle my business.
Might have to put the lock on the door.
My secret? Always wash your hands. Also for all the kids on the TV.
Film Jean Claude washing his hands!
Look you always wash your hands BEFORE going to the toilet.
Why is that?
Because, you know your weewee's clean no matter what. So you shake hands and people are sweating from their hands, so you have to wash - wash your hands before AND after.
Ahhh ha!
Yes.
Now I have to be honest, I didn't know that.
No, it's common sense buddy.
[LAUGH]
It's not that common, bro.
It's common sense! Buddy.
I'll wait for you.
Wait for me bro.
Okay, soap. Very good soap. Wash hands.
Paper, sir?
Paper sir? Like in Hong Kong. Been to Hong Kong?
Never.
You go to a bathroom in Hong Kong, you wash your hand, the guys there are [noises]
And this. 
[noises]
What was Jean-Claude the kid like? When he was growing up?
Skinny.
Serious?
Very skinny.
I was very, very skinny.
Yeah?
I was very skinny, I was not very gifted.
Yeah?
From nature, no.
So he wasn't - was he a sporty kid or was he... what was he?
In sports all the time.
Yeah?
Yeah because I was having a few... not handicap.
I was a lefty, they made me a right hand - they forced me to be a right hand which is bad I mean, not good I'm saying.
Yes.
It was not necessary for me to... to be changed to a right hand because I like freedom a lot and I was always a freedom child.
Yeah.
I was drawing a lot.
Are you a good artist?
Yeah.
Me too I like drawing.
Oh yeah?
Yeah I like drawing real life though - you know people do abstract art. I do real life.
Yeah, yeah.
So I was not really... I started karate first.
Yeah.
Karate and...
What style?
Shotokan.
Oh, that's what Chuck Norris does.
Yes. Started Shotokan...
My teacher stretched me a lot when I was young.
You know I was doing - I was phenomenal.
No you are, but even now you're still very fast.
I was able to put a clay between my toes and I was writing my hair - and my... my name with my foot.
You can-- can you still do that now?
No.
I mean I've got to go back into hard training, to do so, but I was like in balance, like this against the board. And I'm going "Jean" - you know the perfect writing, right?
J - E - so imagine the hip working, and... the bottom...
One question how did this come about?
Oh, the bump?
Yeah.
Er... the training. From past training. Always hit the same sides.
Serious?
Yes.
Also - and also I came out of water in a pool, and a guy landed on my, with his heel on my head. From the...
Diving in.
Diving in, yeah.
Cos, that - that's some years old now. You've had that a while right?
Yeah. And when you lose weight, when I lose weight for movies, it shows more because less fat you have on your face - more prominent...
Yeah prominent.
Prominent.
Prominent.
Prominent.
There you go.
You're gonna do well in Los Angeles -
I hope so.
If you start acting here.
I hope so - that's the whole joy like with ICM, signing with ICM. They... they get it and
they wanna push the Blackwood phenomenon.
ICM, they're good to package deals together which is good for you.
Yeah.
Maybe they will package us together.
We need to do that.
I've got this script called "The Monk" - it can be wonderful for us because it's between a Caucasian monk, Caucasian monk and a black--
black American actor - like English actor?
I can play that.
Yeah and it's funny... And he has to be physical, which you have a great body.
So I get some fight scenes - is that what you're saying?
Plenty.
I'm down.
I know.
I am down with that.
Real. It's been very nice. Cool guy.
You.
Okay, gah.
Cool guy.
This is Jean-Claude! Very real. He took time out of his busy schedule to film with us, so.
And Richard is the same type of guy.
As real as me. If not better.

TRANSCRIPT: (CLICK PLAY ON THE VIDEO ABOVE)

THIS IS THE TRANSCRIPT - CLICK PLAY ON THE VIDEO ABOVE!

Hello I’m Neil welcome back to the channel and welcome to Cornwall!

Now usually on the dad delivers vlog we go as a family to a place for a day with no plan. 
In this video we're going to go for a whole week here in Cornwall with the kids and the dog with no plan whatsoever we just turn up and see how many places we can see... how many things we can do without planning it in advance. 
I don't know if you're gonna like some of these things so I’m gonna try and get in as many as possible and hopefully they might even just spark some ideas for some other places for you to go, and other things for you to see and do. 
There are four of us we got two kids: one thirteen, one eleven years old and we've got Casper who is two years old.
But I think that's... that's a teenager in dog years, right? 
The other thing with this video is that it's centred in a place called Looe. 
This harbour, Looe harbour and the first suggestion is to go crabbing... so we bought some special crabbing buckets and some disgusting bait, and we took our chances on the harbour walls. 
We got one?
This was really great because all we needed was a couple of nets and you could buy those in a lot of shops around the harbour and some bait to put into the nets. 
We used some bits of bacon which apparently is what uh everyone uses there and this kept us entertained for hours. 
We did this over a few days. All you need is a harbour wall and obviously for the tide to be in.
We're in Looe, we've caught a crab... do you want to go in and have a closer look? 
Here we go!
Yep I’m putting my hand and my camera into that bucket.
A very kind street cleaner who was walking past explained to us that if you have two males in a bucket, they can start fighting and start pulling apart each other's legs so we made sure that these two weren't male or weren't fighting... and uh we... we threw them back into the sea quite soon after this.
Anyway we can really recommend getting a couple of buckets and some fish heads and my camera now smells like crab!
We spent a lot of time during the week looking for places where Casper could go for a swim.
Obviously dog beaches aren't everywhere so we're really pleased to find Polperro harbour which has its own beach.
Polperro is like a lot of places in Cornwall, absolutely gorgeous and tucked in the middle of nowhere.
The trouble with Polperro is that to me it feels like a not very good theme park.
It looks really nice and is probably great for a one-off visit but be warned the parking is really expensive, far away and you have to pay for it in coins.
Also all the public toilets in the town are locked with electronic locks and have to be paid for every single visit.
They say it's obviously to pay for the facilities but it does look like a working harbour of holiday lets cafes and garages.
I think there might be better places to visit with the family in Cornwall but we had an okay day out in Polperro.
So we can go into the cavern now, ow ring hand! 
This is where we're gonna go, this way, so this place is... what's this place called?
The Carnglaze caverns? 
There's a giant cavern uh in a place called St. Neots, so we've come down into the cavern now.
Look how clean this water is
If you're into minecraft you might really like this place, am I right? 
No.
That's great I really like that.
Did you like that? 
Yeah 
Yeah? And then there's also this woodland trail so that if you have a dog one of you can sort of take the dog on a walk round while the others go around the cave and then you can swap over.
It's about 20 minutes: it's got little interesting things along the way like this hobbit hut 
I think we could just about get all of us in.
Hey Joe, can I get a walk past shot I know you hate them.
You know these shots where we walk past the camera like someone else is filming us? 
Well obviously to get those I’ve got to actually run ahead put the camera down and go back to where we were and walk past. Then you get that nice shot of us passing the camera but my son absolutely hates me doing these
Oh, he just finds it annoying.
This is the big one - wow it's still going! Oh.
It comes with a spoon so you can eat some.
This is Adrenalin Quarry.
We're at Kartworld and we're going to go go-karting!
I don't think we can film this can we... so you just gotta imagine that it looks a little bit like this.
So how did you find that?
Good?
I’m counting this as a thing to do: shopping at Aldi
This is our haul.
Quick before it goes.
You can tell it's one of my shops when there's bake at home stuff
Mum neatly puts it in the car 
Lollies 
this is all the veg that we're buying 
have a nice day! 
And quite a lot of meat. 
Five a day meat.
Mars, ice cream, meat and milk, five a day.
Can you hold that for me? 
No okay take that in cause I’m gonna eat that on the way home
Time to get home and prepare for day four! 
This is Trago Mills - it sounds like a... a Bond villain but it's uh right underneath this viaduct, so I’m gonna see if the train's going to come over any second now!
Joe put it best just now this is like a level of Backrooms 
An extra level. 
Hello? Hello?! 
We're in dresses. I don't... we're in the dresses section.
Hey guys! 
This is what happens... this is what happens when you get your son to put sun cream on.
We're doing real life Minecraft look, here we go.
So I think we found an abandoned mine shaft down here.
That's what it's down here - it's still moist 
Look, oh what are they mining for? It's nice and cool. 
Look there's like 1980s rubbish in there.
Casper hasn't seen a waterfall before so I think uh I think he really likes this.
Hey have you been in? Go on! 
So we think these are the Golitha Falls.
I’ll soon find out when I’m editing this if it's a bit further down or if that's it there. 
I think that might be it there.
There's a lot to climb on when it's dry. 
I don't know what it's like when it's raining so we've been really lucky with the weather.
I read on a sign that locals said that it's from where giants were throwing stones.
There's a game and that's where the game name quoits (coits) comes from this isn't a history channel.
Are any of these any good? 
Thank you for being awesome and hitting the thumbs up button and right here are some other things that YouTube thinks you'd love to try out next.
Can you please help my daddy get 10000 subscribers, just click in his face thanks bye! Alright this is going to be the proper one right?

my Dyson - I said ‘my’ - it's OUR Dyson vacuum cleaner 
it means that you can just pick it up and it's good to go 
I’ve only got one hand... hang on
and it's good to go 
this is how this room looked before this went up and I’m probably doing this a bit more elaborately than I need to
but I wanted a nice wooden board to mount the Dyson on
by chance I found this IKEA wooden chopping board 
it's a board that just sits on top of a sink but it's the exact right size for mounting the Dyson wall mount and this colour wood is almost identical to the countertops in the room 
so once I’ve pre-drilled the holes it means that I can now hold it up against the wall and put it in the exact place that I want to mount the vacuum cleaner

this now means I’m missing one hole
one crucial hole 
so I’ll do the two other holes first and then I’ll take it off make a fourth hole and then put it back on again

this is a brand new wall
I hate doing this

so now I can make a mark for the fourth screw that I messed up

so now I can put all four screws in
just remember which way up you had it, because they are slightly different each way around

this is the ultimate test... I need to find the Dyson

oh yeah so the next thing I need to do now is to work out how the wiring goes 
so it's got this thing - this hinge and we want to run the cable through the hinge so what you do is you go around the back
push it in - it's kind of spring-loaded - so you want to push that all the way back to like... oh wow it clicks that's good 
when you push the Dyson in, this power plug goes into the socket like this and then when you want to use it, you push up - hinge - and then pull out
but there's a little groove so you can run the cable so that the holster holds flat against the wall 
push the cable into the groove and you run it around the screw hole here... and then when I hold it up against the wall - wherever you're going to put the holster - it goes like that 
now the length of the cable isn't that generous unfortunately so I’m going to run the cable to the side here, and this is how it looks
this is how I’ve mounted our Dyson to the wall 
what do you think? 
is this something that you might attempt with your Dyson? 
if you've looked up this video - if you've reached this point in the video - giving me a thumbs up would be awesome because it helps other people to find this video and if you're feeling even kinder why not hit the subscribe button to help take me to 1000 subscribers, and good luck with your Dyson!

How to make hummus - EASY RECIPE



GET MICROPLANE FINE GRATER here! (I earn from qualifying purchases)

JOSEPH JOSEPH STRAINER SPOON

BRAUN HAND BLENDER




GIFT IDEAS FOR HIM video!

My easy homemade hummus recipe, step by step for beginners.
You can vary these, but I'm making hummus at home using:
2 lemons, 2 cloves of garlic, a can of chickpeas, 150g/5oz Tahini (sesame paste), some extra virgin olive oil
Then how to eat hummus (or not) with pita bread, which we call pitta bread!

TRANSCRIPT: (CLICK PLAY ON THE VIDEO ABOVE)

THIS IS THE TRANSCRIPT - CLICK PLAY ON THE VIDEO ABOVE!

hello how do you make hummus and how do you even spell houmous? 
hello again I'm Neil, welcome back to the channel where we try something new every day to make our family happy 
you know how hard this is but today I'm going to make my ham… my family? 
today I'm going to make my family happy with this dip 
this delicious homemade hummus recipe 
ah the flash forwards are so scrumptious s
hould we dip some bread in on the footage? 
thank you future me! good work because I'm not a cook this is the first time that I'm making a food video or recipe video on this channel and that's probably because this kitchen used to look like this 
we'll get to the houmous as quickly as possible I promise but this is what our kitchen used to look like 
absolutely disgusting and we lived with it this way for over five years 
I didn't want to make food in there let alone food videos 
you can't tell from these pictures but we only had one ring on the cooker and lots of rings on the counter top so a few months ago we knocked through the wall and now this is what it looks like 
but I feel like… I feel like I should be justifying this but we spent we spent about five years saving up for this so I thought well at least… the least I could do is share it with you and to share my amazing hummus recipe that I made up 
I cobbled together from lots of other hummus recipes on the internet from looking it up so many times and evolved my own special version of this dish 
let's get… let's start making a mess in the kitchen 
let's mess it up a bit yeah? 
I've got a second camera over here so you can get some good close-ups 
first thing I'm going to do is to squeeze two lemons 
these are quite small ones I usually have bigger ones 
these are from lidl and I'm cutting into them so they go deeper onto the squeezer and you get more juice out 
now I don't know if I should be showing all of this in real time because I've not done a recipe video before so I don't know if I should be showing any of this speeded up? 
let me know in the comments if you're getting fed up sitting through all of this 
and the next thing we need probably the most important thing are these chickpeas and these chickpeas are in water 
come over to the sink and I'll empty them out and rinse them off 
I'll just rinse these off by pouring them into this giant sieve spoon from Joseph Joseph 
I'll put a link in the description because someone always asks what thing are you using there 
you can get a bag of chickpeas and soak them in the water but life's too short 
it takes forever... they’re sat in the fridge for two days 
this way is much much easier 
some people like the goo that comes off the... the chickpeas I... I don't 
I think it smells foul 
now I'm showing off because I've managed to get a whole can into one spoon so let's put those into the bowl and I'm going to throw in the lemon juice and I'll probably scrape off some of the lemon bits as well 
I just remembered I need... I need a blitzer 
I need a hand whisk thing 
we've had this one forever 
it's probably an electrical hazard somehow it's hanging on in there 
before I start that going I'm going to put in the rest of the ingredients so I'm going to put in a very generous... I hate saying “glug” 
it's such a pathetic trying to make a recipe sound more active and interesting... but I'm just going to throw in a load of extra virgin olive oil 
I... I know I probably put in far too much of this but I like it and crucially it bumps up the volume as well so we get a bit more hummus 
next in is the garlic 
let me break off and again I probably put way too much of this as well but I put in two cloves and I'm going to choose the biggest cloves as well 
and controversially I don't use a garlic crush and I don't cut it properly, I use THIS 
it's a microplane 
if you are looking for a gift for someone at home or best friend or something this microplane is absolutely brilliant I've put it on my list of gifts “for him” which is down in the description 
the thing I like most about the microplane is that it gets all the garlic in and it just makes it into this really smooth fine paste 
which is a bit pointless because we're using a blender to blend it all but I just find it easier to use than a garlic press where you've got to like pick bits out afterwards 
the final ingredient - this recipe is so easy I'm going to go over here and try not to pull everything over it's this! 
it's tahini 
a big jar of tahini 
we're living like kings! 
and I am going to put in half a jar of tahini 
tahini is sesame seed paste 
this is a 300 gramme jar and I'm gonna put in half so I guess we'll call that 150g
Sometimes I put in more sometimes I put in less 
finally we can get the blender going 
this is a Braun Vario and I'm going to use this on the maximum power setting partly to make the dip nice and fine but mostly because I'm a bloke and I want to use it at full power 
so we'll just blitz the ingredients here try and get rid of all the chick peas 
turn all of the chickpeas into a nice brown paste

should I be leaving all of this in? 
I don't know I'll make it…
…a nice long video 
this is the hardest part now 
I've got to get all of the hummus off the blender 
if you weren't here obviously I'd use my hands and steal some just to taste how it's going and I'm showing great restraint because I've got two cameras on me but I'm going to put this in the fridge - come with me 
we are going to get this into the fridge and there's no room! 
I'm going to squeeze it in there and I'm going to leave it there for about 20 minutes so should we do a time jump? 
it is 20 minutes later and time to get the houmous out of the fridge 
oh probably should have covered it up but it's still good 
I like to keep the pizza breads in the freezer but these ones are defrosted so let's get into them and get two of these good guys going 
look there is a water pistol in here? 
I don't believe that anyone has fruit in their fruit bowl 
put down in the comments what's in your fruit bowl right now 
obviously I could cut some carrots or crudites to go with the hummus but I'm not an animal and I like my bread too much and at last I get to make the sensational hummus beauty shots 
should I put a blob of olive oil on this? yeah let's go for it 
time to try one oh here we go

oh perfect another good one 
say hi in the comments below if you have a go at the hummus 
I think this is my first and only food video on the channel but right here is something else that youtube knows that you're gonna love! 
can you please help my daddy get 10000 subscribers just click on his face thanks bye! 
alright this is going to be the proper one right

How to buy Ethereum with PayPal



How much my Bitcoin is worth NOW is on this playlist here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZfK4GUTQWxGnONg5Qk4Vun4n3U69NKae




How to buy Ethereum for beginners?
I traded £200 Ethereum directly from PayPal, using my regular personal PayPal account: just using the crypto tab. I'm buying £100 of cryptocurrency over each consecutive week... 
See how much it's worth now in the link above!

Every week (if I can afford it... this is a stretch!) I buy £100 of cryptocurrency... 
If Bitcoin goes DOWN from last week, then I BUY
If Bitcoin goes UP then I will buy Ethereum or other cryptocurrencies.

TRANSCRIPT: (CLICK PLAY ON THE VIDEO ABOVE)

THIS IS THE TRANSCRIPT - CLICK PLAY ON THE VIDEO ABOVE!

hello welcome back to the channel I’m Neil and this is now week eight of my ludicrously painful cryptocurrency experiment 
I... I don't know if I should keep making these videos um doing them every week 
let me explain what I’m doing so I am buying cryptocurrency every week 100 pounds on cryptocurrency just to see what would happen over a year 
I don't know if I’m going to keep going for a year but I... I’ve started out by just buying bitcoin using only my PayPal account 
I’ll probably try other platforms as the year progresses if I keep going but I just click on this crypto tab here and I just buy bitcoin OR  if the price of bitcoin has gone up in the week then I’ll try one of the other 18000 cryptocurrencies out there 
it's not going well 
it's really not going well 
I’m going to show you how much money I’ve... I’m behind by 
I don't even know the right verbs to use but it feels like I’m spending money on bitcoin 
that doesn't feel like the right word 
people say trading but trading just makes it sound more clever than it is 
I’m just throwing money into a hole 
anyway up on screen now you can see my PayPal account 
I could lose everything so I guess in a sense... in a universal sense I’m ahead 
it's a gorgeous evening tonight I always leave this to the last possible moment on a on a Sunday to do this 
let's see how much money now I’ve got so every week it’s 100 pounds which means that I have spent 714 pounds and seven pence 
let's see how much that is worth right now 
that 714 pounds and seven pence is now worth currently 526 pounds and 36 pence 
uh I don't even want to do the maths 
that's what 190 pounds behind? down? lost? 
but it's okay I’m going to stick with it so I put 100 pounds into Ethereum about five or six weeks ago that is currently worth 67 pounds 88 so that's where I lost about 35 pounds right there and I’ve put about 612 pounds and six pence into bitcoin including fees 
and that is currently worth 458 pounds so you can do the maths on... on that I don't even want to bother... don't want to bother doing it and I don't know if after this week I don't know whether to do these updates once a month 
what is good about making a video every week is that I actually do this so actually sit down and turn the camera on and actually buy... buy the crypto but these videos are just me talking about figures and I’m not sure that many people are watching that if you ARE thank you because you're helping me keep going on this experiment so thanks for your comments and your tips 
last week we had a maritime disaster right in front of me while I was doing this 
I was just pretending like it wasn't happening just looking at my crypto 
thankfully there's not much of that going on here although the only disaster right now is... is right in front of me on the screen 
let's click on bitcoin and the rule is if the bitcoin value goes down in the last week then I will buy more bitcoin and if it goes up I will look to buy something else 
so this looks all nice and green and up by 0.54% but that's just the last 24 hours 
let's click on the one week button and bitcoin is up! 
so it's up 7% so that hundred pounds in bitcoin that I bought last week is now worth seven percent more which is you know good isn't it I suppose in the scheme of things? 
but that means we play the rule that's on... that's on screen now 
I am now going to buy something else and honestly I don't really know what litecoin or bitcoin cash are 
I’m sure there is some kind of trading strategy in here that might use those but I... I can't be bothered 
I’m going to go for Ethereum because I like the name of it and... and because I’ve lost so much money on it 
well 35 quid so let's add to that pot.
If I click on the one week just to see what it's been doing, Ethereum has gone up by 13% so that's almost double the percentage that bitcoin's risen  
just good... for the fun of it I’m just going to click on the one month button to see what Ethereum has done and in the last four weeks - which is pretty much when I last bought Ethereum - it's down 28% 
in my head maybe it might go back up to that one day in the future 
if I scroll up it reveals the buy and sell buttons 
we're gonna buy so I’m gonna hit the big blue buy button and we do this every week but PayPal's fees 
this is just an ordinary PayPal account and the fee for buying a hundred pounds worth of crypto on... on PayPal is 2.3% so I’m gonna pay 100 pounds and one pence just to reduce that to two percent so I will type in 100 pounds and where’s the point - I really can't see the point! 
0.01 pence then click next and we're on the review and buy screen 
My dear friend that... my friend of eight weeks now so you can see the price of Ethereum fluctuating as I speak is currently worth 999 pounds for one Ethereum 
Even while I’m talking to you the... the value of it is... is falling and rising 
you can see there that the transaction fee is two pounds and that means I’ll pay 102 pounds in one pence, like I’ve done every week 
I’ll hit agree and buy 
you purchased 0.10004518 Ethereum 
fantastic so now after I’ve spent 204 pounds and two pence that 202 pounds is currently worth 167 pounds of Ethereum so I feel good 
I feel good that I’m buying something other than bitcoin for a change because I know it's a bit boring and vanilla 
but the experiment relies on me doing this boring thing every week and I’m sharing it on this channel so you can live vicariously through my plodding investment through the year 
we'll just watch it do its thing 
Will it go up will it go down? 
I’m going to move the camera now so I can point to over here and if you want to know how much the money I’ve spent right now is... it's in this playlist 
if you click on that playlist now you'll see how much this money is worth when you're watching this long into the future 
Maybe I’ll start making these once a month. What do you think? leave a comment below!

London trip ideas with KIDS x26



It's another day trip to London with the kids and no plan whatsoever. Seeing completely inappropriate scenes on bikes, meeting a World-Famous YouTuber, shopping in the world's most expensive toy store and finding Inner Peace for a fiver...

We take day trips to London with the kids but with NO PLAN!
Here's another London day trip with 26 ideas of things to do, places to go visit and see.
We just turn up on the train and make it up as we go along to see how many places we can go and things to do in London. Takes in Central London, Aldwych, Covent Garden and Regent Street - Shot August 2021

NO PLAN! 26 easy ideas for kids day trip to London

0:34 London bus ride over Waterloo bridge to Aldwych and Drury Lane past naked bike ride day

Okay, let's go!
so I think the first thing we're going to do is to find a bus, well maybe we could join this group here

oh there’s a KFC but we're going to go through the arch there to find the buses 
right now I don't know what bus to get yeah should try this one

It's some kind of naked bike ride 
I don't know if it's a protest
Looks like they're quite happy doesn't it?

All these well-adjusted photographers

What I was thinking we could do next was we get off to the next stop after the naked cyclists and then see Covent Garden. okay

Have you seen the muffin man?
Is that the muffin man? 
That's the muffin man! that's the muffin man st- his name is Aram

the muffin man, on Drury Lane 
so this is Covent Garden
I've got to hold the the camera quite close yeah there's no garden here
it is a ripoff 
that’s… that's always been the case there's loads of shops and places to eat 
I think it was obviously a fruit and veg market, but I know it for its roller disco when I was your age
there's no such thing as roller or disco now 
oh no they've closed down the paperchase!

this is like a theme park isn't it? Can you see the iphone 12? I want it

I like the medium size

Going up the magical staircase oh look
Okay Dad, push me down!

right so we just went into the apple store there
well the kids worked out the only way they could get an iphone is by throwing themselves down the glass staircase and suing apple 
slippery staircase
What one iPhone 12 max? 
no I’d kind of like a pro?
I don't know why I've got this on 
that's better
oh I can smell London now 
oh yeah cigarettes
it doesn't feel very safe so we can go to the Tesco express and get some drinks and then we'll try to find somewhere to eat as well

Do you think we can sit on these? yeah baby! we got seats! yeah I know

so this is daddy feeding the kids 
Have you heard of Henrietta?
no 
yes Henrietta who lives on Henrietta Street! 
I always feel sorry Stella that you are the only member of the family at the moment who doesn't have a phone
Why? 
well I feel sorry that you know you look at us you know the rest of the family and we've all got... we're all just like doing this on our phones and I feel bad that 
yeah but I'm doing that on my ipad
yeah that's true 
so we're gonna go to the London transport museum now we... we pre-booked tickets on the train... that's 40 minutes of joy and fun on their website... yes we're gonna go and see some trains and buses
here's a train and bus museum montage

we're eating our healthy nutritious Doritos and popcorn here in the London transport museum among the buses

so that was where we went to the roller disco
Do you know what roller disco is? 
oh it's like that guy who um he went roller skating and he went out the door got on the bus yeah
you know that guy 
yeah that's right! oh Frank Spencer
that's EXACTLY what a roller disco is 
so I've educated my kids through the works of Frank Spencer 
so I'm hiding behind a pillar before saying hello to him 
I never thought we'd spot an actual youtuber so um yeah he's a proper youtuber not like this channel it's like a proper one
Tally-ho! Joolz guides here in which I wander around London and tell you fascinating facts don't forget to hit the subscribe button! 
so we're hiding behind the pillar because he's doing some filming I don't interrupt him excuse me

you've actually interrupted me 
sorry sorry
bad man! 
We’d better go. Thank you!
no worries cheers

I don't know what we're going to do now 
What would you like to do now?
Sweet shop! Hamleys! 
Hamleys Sweet Shop.
yes!

So we’re going down the Underground now. It’s underground time.

well we nearly got on it!

so this is our stop, okay?

Piccadilly circus.
There is the Samsung thing

so that went really well
excellent toilets - they were closed on the fourth floor so only the basement ones
I went in there anyway 
yeah yeah... good work Waterstones
we didn't buy a book but we bought stuff hey should we cross?
should we just go across on this very colourful crosswalk pedestrian crossing thing
alright so this... this is the... I've not seen this in years... this is a beer trolley and everyone on board drinks beer but they also pedal this vehicle so can you see they're peddling? while they're drinking booze? oh that's so cool 
yeah and the whole thing just kind of holds up traffic it's really lovely 
[PASSING TUK TUK BOOM BOX MUSIC]
so this is... this is Hamleys which is the most expensive shop in London
it's probably the most expensive shop in the UK

we're going to hide: we’re the last people here we're going to hide here overnight
No look I’m trying pretend to be a doll

Shall we join in? Hare Krishna!

Will Smith put a lot of stuff on instagram about it in the last couple of years 
some people give five pounds some give more, some give less there's no maximum anything from the heart will be great to receive
guys this is the best five pounds you've ever spent because it's knowledge of the self
okay? alright okay thank you thank you so much

back to Waterloo and we found it - this is where we go so we just need this bus that we've just overtaken on Regent Street
What was your favourite part of the journey today?
Mine was going on the trains and vehicles
Oh, you like the museum? 
No, no, I did like the museum, but I like going on the buses 
Oh on the actual buses and tubes oh great yeah I like that as well! okay let's go

Thank you, thank you bus!

just on the left there... we made it what a great day in London 
do you have any tips whoa! 
if you have any tips for places to go in London with kids leave them in the comments 
can you please help my daddy get 10000 subscribers just click on his face, thanks bye! 
alright this is gonna be the proper one right?

16:09 Legoland Windsor UK theme park review - candid 

TRANSCRIPT: (CLICK PLAY ON THE VIDEO ABOVE)

THIS IS THE TRANSCRIPT - CLICK PLAY ON THE VIDEO ABOVE!

I should do the intro here shouldn't I? 
hello my name's Neil and this is the dad delivers vlog and today we are in Legoland Windsor 
I don't know if this is going to work but I'm going to try it and show you as many Legoland Windsor attractions as possible 
So you can help choose your rides before you go 
we're here! 
Is that London?
yeah that's London over there 
There’s Windsor castle

so we're going for the spider first 
spinning spider 
wow he's really going for it so you're in the capsule and you spin it around by hand and you kind of turn yourself with a wheel 
yeah some of the dads are going for it a bit too hard 
here we go ready? 
oh dad spin!

I thought… I thought the ride was a bit short but actually yeah it's a bit too long

destiny's bounty 
it's a quick review of um it looks like a spinning ship 
The queue is short
The queue is short there
Dude the queue is short there
yeah but it's just a spinning ship isn't it

so we're going to Heartlake City now through the land of the pharaohs 
try and show you some rides on the way 
there's the aero nomad and we haven't been on it but for aero oh sorry out of ten? 
four? 
eight 
Thunder Blazer you want to go on it? 
do you want to go on it? 
yeah do you want to?

He looks how I feel.

So we're in Heartlake City 
Mia's riding adventure 
Oh shop! 
I'm gonna buy a Lego Friends cap if one exists 
this… this isn’t… this isn't a harsh criticism but it's what time is it 11 o'clock and the hand sanitizers are empty 
at least people are using them though 
but we had a theory that the rides that appealed to girls probably used this hand sanitizer up the fastest than the dirty boys rides 
This is Lego City 
wow it's a little Lego City building on top of it that's good 
oh this is the food area 
Octan vending machines 
we're debating whether or not to get one of those refillable cups 
what do you think? 
yeah okay 
oh it's a display thing oh that's nice dancing…

But the lack of social distancing makes it a bit difficult to see

You always know it's good when the first question is how long are you upside down for 
yeah that was funny 
I thought that made me laugh because the ride turns you upside down 
basically you're screaming like a girl... I’m screaming like a girl...
I give it a nine 
quick ride for the wait but it wasn't like scary 
I'm not sure would have wanted to stay on it longer 
oh you know when you see a vip pass and they've got kids with no hair...

kind of puts the queueing in perspective right? 
I’ll put the menu for bricks restaurant on screen now so you can see how much it costs when I was here 
and it looks like you've got the hotels... the hotel rooms up there 
15 quid for a refillable cup, what do you think about that?

unless you can refill it fifteen times I say it’s better

Creature Encounter, looks closed
Creature creation so we can build some bits in a… with a bucket of Lego 
pizza and pasta buffet £15.99

Heartlake Cafe... Ice cream parlor in Heartlake City oh this is the first aid stall, that's what we needed for the wasp sting that we had 
Wasps are a real problem here 
Of course the first aid stall would be in Heartlake City because you know, the Lego friends care 
This is the Lego City fire academy 
it's one of the first rides you can get to when you enter the park so the queues tend to be big from the outset 
I like this ride because they try to get you to do it as quickly as possible

There’s Leicester Square… Covent Garden, sorry

other people filming it 
There’s uh covent garden that we're in the other day 
post office tower 
I won't plug BT 
Trafalgar square 
this looks like uh 10 downing street down here

and Big Ben

There's a bus pulling in, that's clever

just past St Paul’s with the uh London eye in the background…
City hall…
we’ve got waterloo back there…
 we'll take a look at that in a minute… tower of London… Tower Bridge

Lloyds of London wow that's amazing 
hope it's insured 
I've not seen that I don't think - there’s canary wharf there

and the gherkin 
when I got here I thought oh nice there's some people in costumes here and then realised that's actually what they're wearing… oops

Aww 
okay here's a pro tip so if like me you've not bought your parking in advance uh you have to buy a ticket when you're here but um you do that at the the ticket office at the front gate and obviously at closing time there's a massive queue there so if at some stage during the day… I've had to come back to the car to get a battery to keep this camera going and I've got my car parking ticket now with no queue there whatsoever 
so you might want to try that if you want to get your parking in before you leave it's like a thing that you scan at the at the gate so you've got to come back and pay for it at some stage anyway

here are two other tips erm… there are a lot of wasps here and it's been like that the last time we came here years ago like four or five years ago 
There seems to be like a real wasp problem here so bring some wasp allergy things if you… if you need them or some wasp sting cream because our daughter got stung - ah, poor thing and luckily we had the… the antihistamine tablet but we haven't got the cream so you might want to come prepared for wasp action 
wow the shop looks great oh that's a cap

I think that's the one

So this is pirate falls and uh we've waited 90 minutes for this ride 
I'm sure it's worth the wait 
No there's nearly a drop is it… is it worth the wait? 
probably I'm not sure 
Okay so this took... this took one hour 50 minutes and we're just at the front now 
okay I'm not allowed to film on this so I'm not gonna able to show you much of the ride but I'll show you as much as possible as I can after we spent nearly two hours queuing for it you get squirted out

you don't know… you don't know which watergun is going to go off

that’s… that's not us 
uh it was good, it was good so it's like two hour wait for a three second drop I'll give that a ten

Awww

We stopped off for an ice cream I can't... I can't remember the name of this place but it's very good
BEN & JERRYS!

alright, okay redo.

Oh someone's got out… got out we've done something 
I'm saying someone's taking a dump

hey we should be able… to be able to oh you can't shoot

this... this is actually quite a scary ride wow

look do you think we lost all the points? 
I had zero
Okay so there’s a little problem with this ride
glad it's not us 
it's like the first rule of theme park is don't stand up even on a bench

Oh yeah

Aim for the thing

look what I'm gonna do I'm gonna put the camera down to see if I can get a better score while I'm not filming 
okay so it's just a tannoy announcement to say they've got to abandon the ride and shut it down!
do you think someone got hurt?

I know we spent our time, I know we spent our time but it's exciting we're in an emergency situation 
management are coming, another ten minutes 
for the abandoned ride

okay right aim take aim right now so I'm going to stop the camera now to get a good score and we'll see if we can get an extra ride

so it stopped again 
I swear we could have fit in like two rides 
yeah I know we could have done 
it… because the park closes in half an hour and the ride has stopped again

oh this management… management's coming

I’m going to have to take you out here

wow so we're walking backwards through the ride here we go

just telling them that we're taking everyone off

okay cool yep

wow so that was the Laser Raiders 
I'll give that an eight I think that was pretty good I give that uh
Get a picture?
Yeah not much of an apology there given we'd wait and waited to get for that one 
Legoland is that really how you treat people when you break the ride? 
it's quite impressive just front it out 
get everyone off 
so that was laser raiders 
okay so we're going to try a viking river splash 
there's a 25 minute wait and the park closes in 20 minutes so I'd be interested see how that goes 
I'm still a bit um surprised that they kicked us off a ride and… 
I know where they're going why why they kicked us off because they're worried that people keep on going on it until they close 
okay so this is another situation where I can't use the camera on the ride so I'll just give you a shot of someone going around on it someone else going around on it and uh we'll see you on the other side for a score 
I am Neil's child and this is what that looks like so you have to hold on and basically go around this like whirlpool river thing 
Is Legoland Windsor thumbs up or a thumbs down or wiggle in the middle 
thumbs up oh like that yeah with slightly crooked thumbs up 
okay we'll give it a double thumbs up and a high five I think would be having some kind of procedure where if you kick someone off a ride that breaks down that you know makes them feel like they haven't wasted half an hour of their life 
sort out the costa coffee stall 
that tasted disgusting 
Costa are not bringing a good thing to your park I'm afraid Legoland 
bits of it look a bit tired perhaps bit shabby and given look how many people there are so they can afford it 
they can afford a bit of paint here and there 
Legoland needs to sort out the wasp problem 
the wasp problem is a problem but all in all, you know I think that's a that's a… that's a big thumbs up 
There's a qualified thumbs up and the cap - very happy with it so thank you Legoland 
Leave me a comment below if you've been here before why are you queueing in the women's area dude? 
if you can help me get to 1000 subscribers I'd really, really appreciate it and thanks for watching 
can you please help my daddy get 10000 subscribers just click on his face thanks bye 
alright this is gonna be the proper one right?

We found Pizza Vending Machine in Chichester UK

We found Pizza Vending Machine in Chichester UK



We took a trip to Chichester (Railway station car park) just to visit this attraction!
It's a pizza vending machine that delivers pizzas - but does it taste any good?!
We try out a Pizza Revolution Margherita pizza from the machine and taste it for you on camera!

We found the ATM that pays out PIZZAS!



TRANSCRIPT: (CLICK PLAY ON THE VIDEO ABOVE)

THIS IS THE TRANSCRIPT - CLICK PLAY ON THE VIDEO ABOVE!

hello this is the dad delivers vlog where I try something new every day 
this is going to be a quick video I think hello 
we came to Chichester the other day and I've got some footage that I took on my phone at the time because we walked past this 
it looks like a cashpoint that's just in the middle of nowhere 
it's at the back of Chichester railway station car park and we thought “no… this looks like it's a cash point that dispenses pizzas!” 
and that's exactly what it is…
it's a... it's a pizza ATM so I came here with my son and my dad 
so this is probably the granddad delivers vlog so we thought we'd take a day trip to Chichester and put our health on the line 
put the family... the male... all the males of the family's health on the line to try one of these 
so here we are in beautiful Chichester 
we're not here to see the beautiful railway station 
we're here to see this 
it's the... what is it 
what would you call it 
it's an ATM for pizzas because you think you're gonna get like a big pizza don't you but I think there's only a tiny slot in there

it does smell a pizza as well doesn't it 
let's... let's take a look at the menu 
barbecue beef Rib and pickle 
vegan 
pulverized pepperoni 
Margherita mutiny 
x x x spicy or cheesy garlic bread 
I want to go with the Margherita 
so the pictures they look good don’t they 
it's the margarita mutiny - it's got a wood-fired crust though I can't see much wood around here can you 
It’s inside 
And there’s a choice of cold and hot but there's only the hot available 
how much do you think it'll look like that? 
which which pizza would you go for? 
leave a comment below which... which of these six pizzas would you go for 
That… That...

is a margarita okay?
you don't want any? 
okay so it's a huge screen isn't it 
again this screen makes it looks like there's going to be a massive pizza that's going to come out 
proceed to payment 
there's like a card thing here - yeah - thanks for checking

there we go £8.95 
it says your Margherita mutiny is on its way 
oh look a little tiny... 
oh look at that - there’s like a progress bar but again it gives you the impression that the pizza is going to be that wide 
what flavours do they do? 
Have you had one? 
we're trying it I'm not sure it's good 
I don't know - don’t know! 
What flavours have they got? 
Margherita, vegan one, pepperoni... 
pepperoni? 
A hot one - That’s good innit!

hey you know vending machines... should we rock it? 
see if we can shake some pizzas out? 
yeah how does it work? 
look you can't even see... maybe... maybe there's just like a man in there just making it

24 hours a day 
What’s that? 
was it? 
oh look at that all right some decorative signage there 
nice there's a bin down the side and look... look oh that's what the boxes look like 
okay so they look pretty decent

how long have you been waiting, about two minutes? 
yeah 
so it is... it is accurate 
progress bar is up to here now 
we went all this way just for this?
yeah 
I just realised we need... we need about two thousand... oh it's coming! 
wait it's gonna push it through 
yeah you don't pull it out before it's ready oh it comes look at that
Oooh it’s very hot. Ow.

this is the thumbnail 
that's the thumbnail 
and that is the pizza 
that's pretty decent 
that doesn't look too bad does it 
it doesn't come sliced and it doesn't look microwaved does it 
I've just realised we'd need about 2000 people to watch this video to pay for this pizza 
well there isn't anywhere to sit down and eat it 
there's like a sort of a car park over there and a river and a cycle path 
I guess we'll just sit in the car in the car park 
let's try this pizza!

I know how come how can a robot read that 
yeah how can a robot write that?! 
yeah why is there like a door there? 
yeah there’s a lot that's suspicious about this so I wouldn't know... oh look it comes with a knife!
Yeah there's a lot that's suspicious about this 
there's a door next to it 
I suppose that's where they load it up with pizzas 
you tear off a bit for granddad? 
you've got to eat it before the parking warden comes 
we could offer them some ATM pizza 
granddad, do you want it?
oh there you go there's a bit of pizza 

how does it taste?
Nice
I really like that 
it looks it looks nice and rustic is that how it tastes? 
what? 
can you flip the cheese on with the knife? oh thanks 
okay oh here it goes

I was worried that the dough wouldn't be very fresh 
it is fantastic I love it 
So our verdict of the pizza rebellion pizza what do you even call it? 
is it like an ATM or cashpoint? 
pizza from a pizza cashpoint pizzeria
It’s a good idea with the wooden knife
yeah the knife saved it this... this review would be not good if we had to tear this with our hands

so this has been a successful trip right? 
this is a dad delivers success! Thud

yeah granddad dad delivers success 
thanks for being even more awesome by hitting the thumbs up button and right here is what youtube thinks you'd love to watch next 
oh I'm gonna have some more pizza.
Can I have a bit?
I won't eat all of this

Best SIM card for kids mobile phone



Order a SIM card from GiffGaff FOR FREE here! 
(You get discount, I get bonus)  

Put your address in and they'll send you a free SIM card.

How to get SIM card and new phone number for a child’s mobile | Activate FREE GiffGaff SIM



How do you get a SIM card for a new phone, new network, new phone number?
And what is the best UK mobile phone network for a child’s phone?

We've had a GiffGaff SIM card for 3 years now and are really happy with the coverage and service - I'l change this message if anything changes.

In this video, I share how to order a Sim card for free for your child and how to set up a GiffGaff new phone number and account. It's hard enough giving a mobile phone to an 11 year old, yet alone finding the best mobile network for a child. This way is without a monthly contract, but is not pay-as-you-go - it auto renews and bills your credit or debit card each month.

If you order a SIM card from the link above, GiffGaff will post you the SIM and the video shows how to activate a GiffGaff SIM.

TRANSCRIPT: (CLICK PLAY ON THE VIDEO ABOVE)

THIS IS THE TRANSCRIPT - CLICK PLAY ON THE VIDEO ABOVE!

Hello, how do you get a new SIM card for a new phone with a new number on a new network and what is the best UK mobile phone network for a child's phone? 
Hello I’m Neil welcome back to the channel
I have put a paid promotion message on this video because I’m not being paid for this but I’ve put a link down in the description below to what I think is the best mobile phone network for a kid's first phone 
You probably have the same fear that I have with a first-time phone which is you don't want to sign up to a long-term contract especially for a child so I’m going to sign up my own daughter to this network GiffGaff to get her up and running with her new mobile phone 
I’m going to go through the process step by step with you so that you can follow along and see how it works and avoid any mistakes that I make along the way 
This is a tricky time isn't it because it doesn't feel right to give an 11 year old a phone but all her mates have got one so we're doing this through sheer peer pressure 
If you use the link below you get a discount and I get a bonus so it's a win-win situation but I hate all mobile networks!
I’ve been with EE, vodafone o2 virgin mobile 
I’ve been frustrated by them all their customer service sucks so I moved to GiffGaff and what I like about this network is that everything is done on their website 
And I promise I'll put a message in the description or remove this video if anything changes in the future
When you click on the link below this is currently what comes up where it says one SIM fits all and this is where we can order the SIM card that they'll send to us through the post for free
I’ll just put in my name, email address and postal address
It takes the SIM card a couple of days to appear, it comes in an envelope like this
Let's open it up and this is what it looks like inside
I’ll just take this off the envelope: it looks like a giant SIM card!
There's a standard SIM, a micro SIM and a nano SIM so you just need to choose which size SIM card you need to push out from this card 
We can now go to giffgaff.com and then click on help and then go down to activate your SIM 
And here's a link that takes you to the right page so just click on activate my SIM and then we type in the six digit code that is printed on the SIM card 
We'll type that into this box
Now we can click activate your SIM 
I’ve used my email address for the kids accounts and you can have more than one GiffGaff account and next we create a password for this account
Then we click register, now we can set our marketing preferences and now we can choose our monthly plan 
They call them Goodybags and the way it works is that they debit a card once a month 
Next we'll click continue. The next step is to put in our payment details and it automatically puts you onto an auto renew so that it charges your account by the same amount each month 
Now we can click on this box to agree to the terms and conditions and activate our SIM 
oh it's exciting, and there we have our brand new phone number which means that this SIM card is now activated and now we can put it into our child's phone 
Next I’ll open up the SIM tray and I can see there that it's the nano size that I’ll need so I’ll push out the nano size card here and put it into the tray and then we can put the tray into the phone very carefully 
I’ll turn the phone on and now the phone has a mobile network signal and you can see at the top of the screen there it now says GiffGaff we now have a new text message from Giff Gaff saying welcome to GiffGaff: this is your new phone number
You are now good to go so if I give it a call from my mobile phone, there I am ringing away
Ah it's not a very flattering picture is it, but it works!
Now she can start ignoring our calls and a whole new circle of life begins, there you go happy new SIM card! 
If this video is helping thank you for hitting the thumbs up button and good luck with calling your kids and right here is what YouTube thinks you'd love to watch next 
Can you please help my daddy get 10000 subscribers just click on his face thanks bye! Okay I’m gonna hang up.
