They won't be able to get you any food.
Should we perhaps I'll tell you what,
let's think about this in a minute. This
is a good idea. This is important. This
is why I meant to talk to you about
this.
Tell you what's going on.
Tell me a bit about this then.
Well, this is this is the work I've been
doing. which is really important and
it's it's my cure for cancer.
That's what it is. You know, it's all
written down here. It's not written
down. It's here and it's at home in
books at home. What I get from the
papers is I get I'll get s clues as to
what you know what I'm supposed to do
and how I'm supposed to get the the
other clues to to so I can hone it down
and and come up with a final.
How long John has all of this been going
on?
It's been going for ages now. Ages now.
Well, I've been up all week most. But
this week I've been working really hard.
It's been going on longer than a week,
but I've been working out really hard
for this week.
You norally have some numbers you have
to to find out.
Am I right in thinking you normally do a
different job?
Yeah, I'm a mechanic. You're a mechanic.
Car mechanic. Yeah. Manic mechanic they
call me.
Manic mechanic.
Yeah, it was my mate. Let my mate Dave.
My mate Dave. I I bought show him this
and he told me well he told me to go
away cuz I was bonkers. He didn't say go
away. He told me to off.
My goodness. Okay. He said off.
You're bonkers. Anyway, so he did that
and so I said, well, you know, I didn't
think he was clever enough really, you
know, not because I went to see the
doctor about it because I thought, show
him because he's a doctor, you know,
he's been to university, he's done
stuff, you
Yeah.
thick as No, he really didn't. He
said didn't have time. I thought, how
can you not have time for to hear about
the cure for cancer, right? You know
what I mean? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. So,
that's why he sent me to see you because
I tell you all about it.
Okay. Well, tell tell me about it then.
Okay. Well, I've got I've got me various
bits and pieces here and I find things
in the papers like, you know, the
football results, you see, they need
adding together and then I have to find
some other information on this page.
There' be some there's some majors and
page numbers, right?
Add those together and take it away from
what's on there. Yeah. So, that's I I do
that and then you find what does that
number
you find you find other things. That
number corresponds to numbers I've got
on me um on me chart. I've got a big
chart on me wall and I find that number
and then that that adds up to something
else and it say it's all there. I mean
that's that's that's really good.
I'm going to get one of those.
What's that?
That's that's really good. That's as a
phone. It does that does internet and
everything. So I'll be a find out more
stuff right
you know that way when I'm when I'm out
and about. But that's that's and there's
numbers you see. I'll use those numbers
there. You need adding up and taking
away from some.
And John, when you've done all this with
all the numbers and the chart, what will
where will that leave you? What what is
it you're headed for?
Well, it's a cure for cancer.
cure for cancer. Cure for cancer. Okay.
How how's that going to work then?
Well, how it works is God tells me, you
know, uh that, you know, I'm doing a
really good job and how great I am and
how fantastic is I'm working at this,
you know, and I just I just keep going
at it. You know, I don't stop. I don't
stop.
Okay. Can I just take you back a sec?
You said God tells you. Can you tell me
a bit more about that?
Well, well, he tells me. He just he just
talks to me,
you know. He talks
He just He talks to me. He tells me, you
know, I'm doing a really good job and
I'm fantastic, really wonderful, and I'm
great. You know, I'm doing and I have to
show this to people. That's why I'm
coming to show you.
And John, when God talks to you, can I
just clarify this with you? Does he talk
to you like I'm talking to you with the
voice coming through your ears or does
it feel more
voice doesn't come through your ears?
Comes out your mouth. The voice comes
out your mouth and goes in your ears.
That's right. Yeah. I'll get straight.
You should know that because you know
you you're a doctor as well, aren't you?
So, you should know these things.
And is is that how the voice seems to
come? hear him in my ears because that's
what I use for hearing and you know and
and he talks to me with his mouth cuz
you know
so the voice that seems to come through
your ears rather than inside your mouth
he's quite loud cuz he's a big bloke
he's a big Is he a big bloke
he's a big bloke yeah and he's got big
big beard
what's he like then
well he's big bloke big beard yeah I
called him beardy beardy once he didn't
like he got right up
call him beardy beardy
okay I can imagine
yeah what kind of just call him sir
you call him sir be called sir and what
kind of things when he's talking to you
what kind of things Does he say to you
John?
He tells me I am fantastic. You know how
great I am for doing this. You get stuck
into this and keep keeping at it and I
should show it to people,
right? And that's what I do. I'll come
out and I'll show it to people.
So, who have you been showing it to?
Well, okay. Who have I've sent copies of
stuff to the pope,
right?
And ask Bishop Canterbury. None of them
are written back. You think they would,
you know, they're close to God. They
probably know him, you know, they
probably met him and stuff, you know,
with the pope. He claims to have met
him. I mean, you don't know. I would
assume the pope knows God. He knows he's
got his address and his telephone number
and everything like that. But you know
then Archbishop I think he's just rude
cuz he's not written back at all.
And there's Tony Blair.
He written to Tony Blair as well.
Yeah. What did he say? What what did
Tony say?
Nothing. I got a letter back. Well, I
didn't even get a letter back from him.
I got it back from somebody else. Right.
Not him. It could have got lost in the
post and somebody got it by mistake. But
just hoping nobody stolen my ideas.
Really? That's what it is.
Sorry to interrupt. It sounds John as
though this has all been keeping you
really busy.
Really busy. Really busy.
Have you been sleeping at all?
No. No time to sleep. No.
No time to sleep. When was the last time
you had a good night's sleep, would you
say?
Don't need it.
Don't need it. I got all this enthusiasm
from God. Do you know it's there? So
energy inside me.
So you feel as though you've got a lot
of energy.
Yeah. Yeah. And how are your thoughts?
Are they are they are they are they
going fast? Are they are you thinking of
ideas?
I think very intensely. I mean you look
at stuff down here. I mean, you know,
there's there's not I got that in the
door the other day, you know, and
there's lots of numbers on there that
need adding up and taking away.
How are you feeling about yourself, you
know, your self-esteem? How do you feel
about yourself as a person at the
moment?
Fantastic.
You feel fantastic.
I feel fantastic because, you know,
God's telling me I am. Yeah. I'm doing a
really, really good job and it's all
there and it's all happening.
And tell me this, John, cuz I I couldn't
get it from your GP letter. Have you
ever had anything like this before in
your life where you felt full of energy
and lots of bright ideas?
No. No. But this has been going on for
so long that I can't really remember
anything else, you know.
And and have there ever been any times
in your life when you've kind of been
the opposite, John,
where you've been a bit down in the
dumps, not like nothing like that. No.
Okay. And what about any family history?
Does anyone in your family have things
like that?
No, it's just me. I was just just me.
It's really Well, they're not that
clever.
Who's not that clever?
Me family.
Your family.
You know, that's why I have to come and
see doctors and place hospitals and
things like that because you're clever
person. Do you feel as though you're
more clever than perhaps other other
people?
Well, yeah. Well, yeah. I'd certainly
clever those people at work, you know,
cuz they're a bit thick.
And John, I guess I'm just wondering
what might have happened to start all
this off for you. Have you any thoughts
yourself this on?
Well, God. Yeah.
God.
Yeah. Okay.
Yeah. And yeah, it did just came to me
one day. One day just came to me. Yeah.
I started noticing connections with
numbers and things
and it's it's it's all there. You've
just got to find it. You got to dig deep
and look for it. You know what I mean?
Okay. How have you been feeling
physically in your physical health? Any
problems there?
Fine. Fine. I'm I'm fine. Yeah.
And have you been taking any prescribed
medication or even
No, nothing drugs that aren't
prescribed. Any substances?
I just need everything in within me now.
I don't need anything else.
And and you know how you were saying
that your your mate at work said that
you were you were
Dave?
Yeah.
Yeah. He said rude things. He said rude
things. I don't like repeat.
He kind of suggested that you told him
what he said, didn't I? Yeah, you did. F
word. I don't like that.
No. No.
But it sounded like he thought you
weren't very well at the moment.
No, I'm fine.
What do you think to that? Do you think
Can we Can we Can we look at this now?
Cuz this is what I want to talk about.
This is I've come here to talk about and
you see me going off on on something
else you're not paying really paying
attention to.
Yeah. I I guess
Can I do that now? Can we can we talk a
bit more of this now?
Well, I guess before we get back into
that, I guess
Well, no, I don't want to get back. I
want to talk to you about now. Can we
talk about it now, please? I I guess
John, what I'm wondering is whether this
might be a sign that you're not very
well at the moment.
No, I'm fine. I want to talk about this.
You seem to want to change the subject.
I don't want to talk to you anymore.
I've had enough of you and I've had
enough of being here. I want to talk to
somebody else. I want to talk to the
boss. I want to talk to your boss.
Where's your boss,
John? I am the boss.
Well, you're a boss and I want to
talk to somebody else. There must be
somebody else I can talk to. I want to
talk to dead man. I'm fed up with
talking to rag. I want to talk to the
engineer. No more monkeys. The organ
grinder for me. I want to talk to the
top man. Top boss. Top cat. That's what
I talk to. Top cat. Top cat. Top cat.
Yeah.
