The practical modules 34 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 2: some of them, you know, there's almost something a little 35 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:39,479 Speaker 2: bit sheet based. There was a wool press they had 36 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,319 Speaker 2: to figure out how to handle. Some of them looked 37 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 2: at that and walked away, and others. You could tell 38 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 2: people who deliver bit of sharing crack through that there 39 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 2: was a nice one with the big tidy and plivit irrigated. 40 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 2: She had to put one of those in that. 41 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: True skills that have been finally honed over the past 42 00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 1: six months, I would imagine. 43 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 2: Look that comments from from one of the FMG people 44 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 2: was is there be good of people if more people 45 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 2: figured out with disease?
