 Look who i met! It has been a while since we had Archie & Claire on the channel -

. . .. Vlog in text: hey folks look who I met Archie and Claire is here they moved to to somewhere else but I was lucky to get them in uh how are you doing folks yeah we're good we're good a lot of things in Chinese and all that so um um so L'Oreal's right well we've just just the last few days been in-house um empty shelves at the moment we've got em sure I've got no carpet no we're still friends obviously we'll always be good mates we'll always be best mates we have several places for the empty shelves so we're still trying to collect um you know Furniture why did you split up folks of lions what happened you've been so going so strongly like just being out on the road is a bit harder here not right what was your job before you became homeless before you lost your address I'm a senior JavaScript software engineer now I've got mental health he's got mental health so why are we out here so you had an accident bike accident you were on a bike right yeah yeah from cocaine from Ireland from cut tablets racism a little update on Claire and our and are you back together well you're not back together but you're a good mic best friends best friends and not so yeah we're hungry back in the postcode back in the area and um you know still moving along trying to progress just trying to make our home at home now we've got well several at home but we're trying to make but we work together talking still and that's the way like well have you found somebody else no no nobody just broke up for me it's not going to be for a while right you get things I think okay they're built like it because like how many times have problems lost the country and all that so it's like it's in it's integrated into their sort of DNA that's my personal fingers we have a little snow here a little snow like an inch of snow here but everyone [ __ ] that doesn't work was it called what's it um there's much snow everyone calls into work sick I can't come in all right all right right folks but you're not on the streets right no thank God each of you have a place to stay yeah separately obviously and um but it's empty shells so it's doing things like carpet and appliances and things like that but all right well you you make leave your details like a phone number maybe there's somebody out there having furniture for you yes you've got a phone number aren't you right shall I give the phone number to people yeah write it down and put it on there and yours one as well okay I've got a toaster um well I see that's a good thing that you off the streets it's a first step what's the next step for you you had a long time for this yeah we went ahead of a long time even though it wasn't how we planned you know we originally planned obviously Ever After but the things I've changed the Dynamics have changed what you call a massive degree actually but early man um it's one of his grandfather what happened to your to your to your hand to your arm I cut myself let's see that you've got that tendency to cut yourself a lot and that's the reason right yeah when was that um a few weeks back three weeks yeah why are you doing this Claire I don't know it's real yeah I don't know I need to do it I would have done it I had a relief and then I hate it and I hate it but if because you've done it over and over for many years I can see so many scars yeah the way it's the way for it to release it's difficult to understand some people everyone's so hard don't know that like some people punch balls on people's most places so I smoke someone drinks I'll take drugs well I really worry about you because I had a friend that did that and she eventually commits suicide so I really hope you won't do it you've got my phone number if you cut yourself next time you know call me oh okay okay that's that's like a sign to the outside world there's something wrong with me you know you know like you know from previous look out look at the way I love to me it's hard out here right now lavish and comfortable at all but we are out of the elements without any weather and all that but it's still funny get a set of keys and we'll be okay we've got those occasions but you're great but then emotional Cuts guy comes out and then we're like we're indoors but we don't know what we're doing we don't know we're walking a base in that room we'll sit there whatever Telly and it doesn't we can't yeah being homeless to having a home we just walk like like Claire says we will get their keys all our problems be over but it's not that the most adjustment periods like like we sleep in a sofa and we've got two we've got a bedroom but like it's not measures but we're like I've asked him on a sofa he's been kind of so far you know yeah you told me that you know they want an interview one time we've got the flat we stayed on the road is it you know yes yes folks and what about your the substance abuse are you still you're doing very very well very very good so with the um the the services that we're involved with that treat us abuse um we've recently changed to a new and so we don't have any withdrawing in Latin what is it Esperance if you take anything I'll talk with that you're gonna be sick yeah so without taking everything it really is helping I assume everyone like the injection like because we've got to put on the tablet first and then we'll go down on that tablet we're getting addicted and you don't have to have anything if you touch anything it makes sick anyway that's the new new yeah there's always been our plan we've never won it there we don't want this love we want to have like we want our life we don't want to assist banana in a good good track to get live guys back yeah it is well so what's the obstacles you see what could be an options for you to get back to normal life is still do you know what you know what he's saying like tarnish with a brush but someone just writes you off before you get a chance right all right even still sometimes because people have seen us out there so many times wherever it means they go everybody knows everyone even people that we don't know we've never seen before they know us because we've been a spectacle yeah for everyone for so long so everyone knows us we walk into a shop straight away security guard to be honest foreign a lot of good and you know I don't know why I used to like gave us a bit more flavor people and yeah a lot of people is it like so I think I think it might have been mentioned before but then once we was out there and even still right now it was still right now break a pardon um the like the services that we're involved with that are there to help us I haven't really helped us even okay we've been out and all that which we're massively grateful for um but the most people tell us is just good people in the community and they are awesome and and the services were there are you doing what they're created to provide Donuts like when we're good we're really good aren't we and then we're about really bad there's no middle ground of us you know but they see the birds and they wouldn't but they don't basically rewrite that about on us like when we argue ourselves but when we had a good time they don't write that down we have more good than bad because we had more good yeah people tend to remember the bad yeah yeah it's gonna be bad it's going to be good middle ground so do you think you will get backed we don't know what a few dollars which is supposed to do it you just don't know but who left who right yeah not a joint agreement but it just it happens on the streets no no place yeah we fell in love in the hopeless place for me it's a hopeless place I thought it is sums it up really yeah but you know there's everyone in there a [ __ ] Donuts no no conversational skills no no people skills no people talking skills and all that so in this place in this hopeless place you know there's more out there for us more on the same the same waves yeah that's why we're good mates didn't exist yeah that's why we're still Powers Yeah because we have got to say it's like we are the same yeah they call it cut from the same cloth I see archery are you thinking to get back to the building industry a little while ago about the adjustment periods of being on the street and being alone yes yes and and and with that is um my body clock I'm still awake late at night because when we was on the street um so we'll be all because of people so people come out in the pumps and all that and so like sort of be sleeping with one eye opening both of us are protecting us so so my sort of body cloth my body clock is way out of sync um so that's for that that's one mate sort of thing but the main reason um about about about working on that is because so I hurt myself a roof that's what made me get on drugs that's what made me do that because we're paying them right so I was using drugs are the painkiller but um I I don't think I can go back because I used to roof be a roofer and all falls were building work all around I don't think my body I'm getting on a bit as well I'd like to teach you I'd like to teach students it was naturally installed into me for my child um so I was naturally installed into me as a child and and I'm lucky lucky I'm lucky that I had that and I'm very lucky and a lot of people don't get that yeah the folks now because you've been away from the streets for for a few months now do you see any changes there's more homeless or less there's no faces yeah and your face a lot of new people but they're not homeless they're um these are the people abused those fake homelessness and some of them get flats yeah it's all controlled by drugs what drugs are around just cracked hair and weeds how's the spice dreams people think about I don't know I've [ __ ] broke it once by accident on the floor look at all these things it's not a good looking game it's like a Michael Jackson video all right well folks I I need to I need to get going um so we all missed you guys you've been from the very beginning in the series actually you're the face of the show so it's really good to see you've changed and well I wish all the best for you how the people will contact you and I will offer you the microwaves or something like that yeah I do really yeah yeah you're right I've got your phone number so hopefully we can get a in some time to see how you're getting on folks till next time next time see you later see you later yes I told you about um black women's growing up with his poor we're so poor like when it was cold we used to sit around the candle and then when it was really cold it was a light but I didn't tell you about the rest of the porn it's all right we used to go to KFC like to lick other

University yeah I got Universal Credit but that was it that was like 344 pound a month and I don't go nowhere I don't is that all you were getting yeah that's what I was getting because I didn't until I found out I've only just recently found out I had arthritis but then my mum passed away and she was a family politics my dad and my brother and I'd send it out on the streets so I ended up outside made it hospital because I knew what to do about being homeless and because I was homeless six years ago after my marriage failed I said and then um got verified I had to be physically laying down before they come see you um otherwise everyone for you I've spoken to having a really decent people uh according to reached so sorry um Andy yes Andy yes coming back to the family she's what was it

out I got arthritis I couldn't work no more um [Music] yes uh lots of my mum passed away and fill out with um [Music] his father and I'm back on the streets all right but you've been housed this year yeah I've just got into Palmer House which is a place up the road I was hostile um better than being on the streets you know but um yeah I've got a room in a lot of complex and you share the washing machine you've got to share kitchen um because like your entire office and that there's always something how many rooms are there often it's about 50. yeah it's quite it's fair size it's fair size um said I wasn't actually housed no she's still she's still yeah she got out she was meant to get ours before me but we met on the streets you know so I don't know whether that's made a lot of difference because obviously she's she's a woman she should be before me so that was housed with women first I think obviously what she's had to trauma experience which is on the street there's two guys want to grab hold of her and things like that so but um yeah well tell us more about like your childhood oh I grew up in overboard um yeah just up the road here um foreign out on the streets don't see that anymore um it won't be long um yeah so I went um from now I've gone to um work went to work went to school I went to work I worked in the building of a 20 you know 25 years now as a builder as a builder yeah multitrade do locksmith for your carpentry but I am whatever took loads more rugby so I mean but the situation is at the minute with everyone as homeless is there's there's not enough room at the invos you know there's too many people here there's not enough dwellings for people you know um it's not a lot there's lots of sold in Canada I mean not building enough houses not to no there's nowhere for nowhere to go and there's not excuse me um as you use their walking sticks yeah after you can't put no weight on it can't go upstairs yeah I have to I have to use I've got different ones I use I haven't I've even been seen to you I'm still waiting to have an assessment going I know that was over a month ago I found out I got arthritis definitely I haven't even had a phone call about that yet um so I've just been dealing with a GP I just keep getting fun uh painkillers all the time playing because painkillers like the substance abuse on the streets no I've got a problem with alcohol um that goes back a few years now but obviously it's my marriage fault but um I've got I've managed to get cut it right down I'm getting help for that I've got to go tomorrow and get another appointment A lady called cowra and lovely loaders are drinking at the moment uh through four cones a day but it used to be strong side and now it's only like Coles Burger now yeah but that can all change depends what happens in the day you know your mood can change quite quickly you can be having a laugh and and then you can be down and that's when you hear an entrance we are because you're around there it's terrible these people break your bottles of fights that are kicking off every night you know every night [Music] but Queens Gardens they do a lot of food for the homeless every night and a half past nine it's going off down there all the time and there's more and more people going down there and you know you're dealing with all walks of life and then there's people they're even working that go down there you know where the clock tower is Queen's Garden is right next to it so you go down there you can get some food what about the Crisis crisis they're good but because there's so many people there's not enough slot slot to try and get a shower I could take you awake to have a shower and take it away you know because you have to be pre-booked that's the problem yeah you know there's so many homeless at the minute you think the number is growing of homeless people yeah um it is so many how many yeah but there's there's about 20 down this High Street alone I don't know I was leaving on rough I don't always float on the High Street this is probably one of the best place to sleep under here the doctor it comes to about here if the rain's coming out
