this book was amazing. it opened up huge worlds in my imagination. | H | 4.166667 | 5.5 | 4.833333 | 909 | Male |
but this book was an incredible. it was doctor who and the demons in case you want to know. | N | 2.8 | 3.8 | 3.6 | 909 | Male |
and i think i read two or three before i actually got to see the show. | N | 3.4 | 4.4 | 4.6 | 909 | Male |
and by that time, my head was full of all these worlds. | N | 3.2 | 3.4 | 4.8 | 909 | Male |
it was the final episode in doctor who and the day the daleks... remember that one? | X | 4 | 3.6 | 3.6 | 909 | Male |
no? wrong crowd? | N | 3 | 4.4 | 4.2 | 909 | Male |
do you want more of the plot? i'll leave it there, okay. it's this... | H | 5.2 | 4.8 | 5 | 909 | Male |
this was so much better at comic-con, i'll tell you. | H | 5 | 4.6 | 4.8 | 909 | Male |
so i remember that there were daleks and there were these creatures called ogrons, strange neanderthal-type creatures, | N | 4.6 | 4.8 | 4.6 | 909 | Male |
driving across some lawn. it was all quite cheap. | N | 3.6 | 4 | 4.4 | 909 | Male |
but to my seven-year-old mind, it was just incredible. | U | 3.8 | 4.8 | 4.6 | 909 | Male |
but i knew i liked it, a bit like sex when you start doing that. | H | 5.4 | 4.4 | 5.2 | 909 | Male |
so i became a huge fan. | N | 4.3 | 5.4 | 4.5 | 909 | Male |
this program filled my life in my early years and i collected more and more books. | N | 3.6 | 4.8 | 4.4 | 909 | Male |
i made sure i saw the show every saturday when it was on. i had some friends who were similarly devoted to the program. and this is an era, again... | N | 4.8 | 4.8 | 4 | 909 | Male |
there's some more youthful faces here... when there were no videos. | N | 4.2 | 4 | 4.6 | 909 | Male |
never mind dvds. there weren't videos that you could go and get. they were just the books. | C | 4.2 | 3.8 | 4.8 | 909 | Male |
these books were quite precious. me and a few friends, we used to gather together. | N | 4 | 4.4 | 4.4 | 909 | Male |
we had all the books and we used to bring them all to someone's house and then just lay them out on the floor. | N | 4 | 4.2 | 4.8 | 909 | Male |
i don't know why. there was nothing else we could do. that was it. | X | 4.2 | 3.2 | 4.4 | 909 | Male |
that was the extent of what we could actually do with doctor who at that time. | N | 3.6 | 4.2 | 3.6 | 909 | Male |
that's not tragic, that's fine. that's just lovely. we were kids. | X | 4.2 | 3.8 | 4.4 | 909 | Male |
there was an exhibition, a big tour. and we went on a big trip, a day trip and saw some costumes. | N | 3.6 | 4.2 | 3.8 | 909 | Male |
as i got into my teenage years, life changed a bit. like any teenager, you devote more time to chess. | N | 4.8 | 5 | 5.2 | 909 | Male |
and there was exams. | N | 4.6 | 4.2 | 4 | 909 | Male |
i was at boys' school, but i'm a sort of 14, 15. | N | 3.6 | 4 | 3.6 | 909 | Male |
i wasn't watching quite as much. and then as i went to college, even less so, and let's face it in the end. in the eighties, it became a bit like a pantomime. | N | 3.25 | 4 | 3.5 | 909 | Male |
i was just happy that there were seven-year-olds, like my earliest seven-year-old, who could be similarly enthused by this program. | H | 3.4 | 4.6 | 4.6 | 909 | Male |
so i watched and i enjoyed it and my sister works in theater. | N | 3.6 | 4.2 | 3.8 | 909 | Male |
so my sister invited me to the press night and also... | H | 3.2 | 4.2 | 3.6 | 909 | Male |
does this mean anything, david? | N | 3.6 | 4.8 | 4.4 | 909 | Male |
...who played doctor who, i think he was near the end of his tenure at that point, was going to be there. | N | 4.4 | 4.8 | 4.8 | 909 | Male |
i was going to be in the same room and i would get to hang out with him all night. | X | 2.8 | 3.2 | 3 | 909 | Male |
so i went along to see the play. | N | 4.6 | 4.4 | 4.4 | 909 | Male |
this could be the tragic bit. it gets worse. by that stage- | S | 3.2 | 3 | 4 | 909 | Male |
i think i'm about 47 or 48, much younger than the person you see here. | X | 2.6 | 4 | 3.6 | 909 | Male |
and yet, i still really want to see david tennant. isn't that really sad? | S | 4.6 | 4.6 | 4.2 | 909 | Male |
i know i'm not quite as devoted as that seven-year-old, but it's just something inside me. | N | 3.8 | 4 | 4.4 | 909 | Male |
...talking about light fittings with my sister. god is this- | X | 4.6 | 4.8 | 4.4 | 909 | Male |
so she ushers them down towards the sort of vip drinks thing that i'm at. | C | 4 | 4 | 4.4 | 909 | Male |
i'm there with my friend ben and we've had a few drinks. i just say to ben, "i just need to go to the loo." | N | 5.2 | 4.8 | 5 | 909 | Male |
all the names hadn't arrived by that stage. and ben just grabs me before going to the loo. and he says- | X | 4.8 | 4 | 4.6 | 909 | Male |
"you know who's just come in? david tennant's just come in and he's gone to the loo." | N | 5 | 4.6 | 5 | 909 | Male |
now at this stage, i'm thinking, well i need to go to the loo. | N | 2.6 | 3.8 | 3.4 | 909 | Male |
yeah, jesus. that is bright, for crying out loud. | A | 5 | 3.8 | 4.4 | 910 | Male |
actually you've all disappeared, which probably is a bit of a tragedy as well. | N | 3.7 | 3.2 | 4.4 | 910 | Male |
i'm actually going to tell you a little tale poetically, hopefully. | N | 4 | 4.4 | 4.6 | 910 | Male |
that's a near miss of a tragedy. | X | 4.2 | 4.2 | 4.2 | 910 | Male |
it came about years and years ago. and i wanted to write about the subject for a large number of years. | N | 4.4 | 4.4 | 4 | 910 | Male |
and every time i tried to do it over the coming years- | X | 3.8 | 4.4 | 4.2 | 910 | Male |
... it always sounded a bit crap, if i'm honest. | D | 4 | 2.6 | 4.4 | 910 | Male |
until one day, my dad, who knew that i was struggling with how to approach this- | S | 3.8 | 3.4 | 4.4 | 910 | Male |
... said to me, because he's a much smarter man than me- | N | 3.6 | 4.4 | 4.4 | 910 | Male |
"i've call this phrase going around in my head, and i don't know-" | X | 3.6 | 3.2 | 2.6 | 910 | Male |
"... maybe you could do something with it." and being the dutiful son that i am, i wrote it down in my little notebook. | H | 4.4 | 4.2 | 4.8 | 910 | Male |
and the problem is that the phrase that he gave me relates to marine biology, specifically how pearls are formed naturally in oysters. | X | 3.2 | 3.6 | 3.6 | 910 | Male |
now, i don't know if everybody's familiar with how this works. | N | 4.1 | 4.3 | 4.6 | 910 | Male |
just in case we're not all kind of marine biology students. | N | 4.6 | 4.6 | 4.2 | 910 | Male |
i know i wasn't. the way that a pearl is formed naturally in an oyster is that an irritant of some form gets inside the shell and the oyster can't get rid of it. | N | 4.6 | 4.2 | 5.2 | 910 | Male |
it does mean, however, that people are wearing as decorative jewelry- | X | 3.2 | 3.2 | 3.2 | 910 | Male |
... what is, to all intents and purposes, oyster snot. | N | 4 | 4 | 4.6 | 910 | Male |
i'm sorry if that ruins it for anybody, but- | F | 3.6 | 3.2 | 3.4 | 910 | Male |
now i've kind of done the little marine biology thing. | N | 4 | 3.8 | 3.4 | 910 | Male |
i can tell you the phrase that my dad gave me, and it became the title. it is- | N | 3.545455 | 4 | 4.090909 | 910 | Male |
it's the grit that makes the pearl. | X | 3.6 | 4.2 | 3.8 | 910 | Male |
now, i should tell you this before we start. this is a topic very close to my heart. | N | 3 | 4.4 | 3.6 | 910 | Male |
it is a tale of past events and, in turn, what they have meant to me in terms of who i am now. | X | 3.4 | 4.8 | 4.8 | 910 | Male |
the words i'm speaking will hopefully show how the title of the poem is ultimately true. | N | 4.333333 | 4.5 | 4.166667 | 910 | Male |
so now i'm going to begin the story for you. | N | 4.333333 | 4.777778 | 5 | 910 | Male |
throughout my schooling i was always considered tall. | N | 4 | 4 | 5 | 910 | Male |
i did well in my lessons. oh, by no means all, and i would never suggest that. | X | 4.8 | 3 | 4.6 | 910 | Male |
but the combination of my height, that when starting primary school- | X | 4.6 | 3.6 | 4.6 | 910 | Male |
... i could already read and write, and that i never really ever put up much of a fight in my defense, meant that i became someone to tease. | S | 3.8 | 3.8 | 4.4 | 910 | Male |
the kids could get a reaction from me with apparent ease. and because- | N | 3.4 | 4.6 | 3.8 | 910 | Male |
... i always want you to please, i kept it inside. | N | 4.2 | 4.4 | 4.4 | 910 | Male |
i kept it to myself. and though i didn't know it at the time- | N | 4.6 | 4.2 | 5.2 | 910 | Male |
... i let it affect my mental health. despite knowing, in my heart- | S | 3.4 | 3.2 | 3.4 | 910 | Male |
... that there were a wealth of options available for me to take. | N | 3.4 | 4.2 | 3.6 | 910 | Male |
i made a mistake that many of us still continue to make. | N | 4.2 | 3.6 | 4.6 | 910 | Male |
i didn't reach out when i should have done. | N | 3.2 | 3.4 | 2.6 | 910 | Male |
i let the kids carry on with their fun, thinking that when i changed school- | S | 4.4 | 3 | 3.2 | 910 | Male |
... taunts and punches that came my way on all breaks and lunches, and constant demoralizing, painful [inaudible 00:03:22]. | S | 4.2 | 3.2 | 3.4 | 910 | Male |
... to this brand new school with this very visual anti-bullying rule that finally everything would be cool. | N | 3.6 | 5.4 | 4.2 | 910 | Male |
but i came to quickly realize that school policy was meant for parents' eyes, and was not in effect for someone of my size. | N | 4 | 3.8 | 4.4 | 910 | Male |
so when the bullying started i went to the teacher. | X | 4.4 | 2.8 | 4.4 | 910 | Male |
i begged and i pleaded. i tried to beseech her to make use of the school's- | X | 4.2 | 2.6 | 3.8 | 910 | Male |
but what i was told, what the teacher chose to say, was that help was not going to come my way. | S | 2.6 | 2.2 | 3.4 | 910 | Male |
that i would have to suffer day after day, week after week, with no end in sight. | S | 3.1 | 2.8 | 4 | 910 | Male |
that at the end of the tunnel, there was no light. so- | S | 3.4 | 3.8 | 3.6 | 910 | Male |
yeah. i kind of gave up the fight. | S | 3.181818 | 3 | 3.454545 | 910 | Male |
now that's a terrible thing. 11 years old, feeling like you've been left out in the cold. any trust you had- | D | 4.2 | 2 | 5 | 910 | Male |
... put on hold. not knowing on who you could rely, when what you were told was so obviously a lie. | D | 4.6 | 2.4 | 4.6 | 910 | Male |
it got to the stage- | N | 4.2 | 4.8 | 4.8 | 910 | Male |
now, i'm not proud that this is the case. | N | 3.8 | 3.4 | 3.8 | 910 | Male |
but frankly, i need to give you at least a taste of what was going on at the time, that for a while- | H | 4 | 4.6 | 4 | 910 | Male |
... i had lost my mind and had no idea as to how to find a way out of the hell that i found myself in. | X | 4.166667 | 2.5 | 4.5 | 910 | Male |
i genuinely thought, that through suicide- | S | 3.6 | 2.4 | 3.4 | 910 | Male |
... i could win back some points from those who had been my tormentors throughout each school year. | C | 3.6 | 3.8 | 2.6 | 910 | Male |
that maybe i could make them shed just one tear in payment for all of those shed in the depths of my fear. | S | 3.4 | 2.8 | 4 | 910 | Male |
i got a second chance and more time to think, where i came to understand i could be a strong link. | N | 3.6 | 4 | 3.2 | 910 | Male |
