<v Speaker 3>I had to run. They were calling my name and

0:00:34.000 --> 0:00:36.040
<v Speaker 3>it went. That plane only landed.

0:00:36.080 --> 0:00:39.040
<v Speaker 2>I've not been like in duty free shopping running through it.

0:00:39.040 --> 0:00:41.519

0:00:41.640 --> 0:00:42.440
<v Speaker 2>screwing with me?

0:00:42.680 --> 0:00:42.880
<v Speaker 4>Oh?

<v Speaker 5>airport five hours early Channel flight.

0:00:47.240 --> 0:00:49.320
<v Speaker 2>For the Dublin flight, right, because I didn't know how

0:00:49.360 --> 0:00:51.160
<v Speaker 2>busy it would be. I was there six hours early.

0:00:51.320 --> 0:00:54.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I sat there in that main course of two hours.

0:00:54.400 --> 0:00:56.840
<v Speaker 3>There's there. The lady was like, literally.

0:00:56.640 --> 0:01:00.480
<v Speaker 2>Checked two hours, there's no rest, what's there?

0:01:00.480 --> 0:01:02.400
<v Speaker 3>They're the other side two.

0:01:02.200 --> 0:01:05.640
<v Speaker 2>Hours hanging around and even security people are like what's

0:01:05.680 --> 0:01:06.800
<v Speaker 2>that staring at me?

0:01:06.880 --> 0:01:06.959
<v Speaker 3>Like?

0:01:07.160 --> 0:01:09.960
<v Speaker 2>And we checked out this suite here I kept repacking

0:01:09.959 --> 0:01:12.480
<v Speaker 2>a suit you know, person just in front of me,

0:01:12.520 --> 0:01:13.800
<v Speaker 2>one like unpacking.

0:01:13.360 --> 0:01:14.920
<v Speaker 3>Their suitcase on the floor.

0:01:15.319 --> 0:01:17.399
<v Speaker 2>Do you know while someone's on the the flight coming

0:01:17.440 --> 0:01:20.600
<v Speaker 2>back from Dubai to Melbourn. Right anytime we want to

0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:22.600
<v Speaker 2>watch a movie, and there were quite a few movie

0:01:22.800 --> 0:01:25.319
<v Speaker 2>I watched. You had to put up this twenty second

0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:29.959
<v Speaker 2>advert right basically saying move to Costa Rica in just

0:01:30.000 --> 0:01:32.160
<v Speaker 2>twenty seconds. And it was just a load of slide

0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:35.600
<v Speaker 2>shows started with move to Costa Rica.

0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:36.920
<v Speaker 3>They've got you okay.

0:01:37.760 --> 0:01:40.200
<v Speaker 2>Twenty seconds later after a load of slide shows, Yeah,

0:01:40.240 --> 0:01:43.440
<v Speaker 2>that looks funny. Nice move to Costa Rica. I don't

0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:45.600
<v Speaker 2>her website you can go to? And I'm thinking, who

0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:48.240
<v Speaker 2>the hell? While she's sat in his stale farts right

0:01:48.240 --> 0:01:51.400
<v Speaker 2>on a big old, long old flight to Australia, is.

0:01:51.320 --> 0:01:55.680
<v Speaker 3>Thinking, do you know what? That's it? That turn the

0:01:55.720 --> 0:01:58.040
<v Speaker 3>plane around? We're going to Costa Rica?

0:01:58.160 --> 0:01:58.600
<v Speaker 1>Kids?

0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:02.360
<v Speaker 2>Why I watched a twin second advert You can't even

0:02:02.400 --> 0:02:04.520
<v Speaker 2>google to find out more about it. It was just

0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:06.840
<v Speaker 2>twenty seconds moved to Costa Rica. I thought, that is

0:02:06.880 --> 0:02:09.560
<v Speaker 2>such a big life decision. But the point is this

0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:12.960
<v Speaker 2>about life decisions. Sometimes people must just make a snap

0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:13.920
<v Speaker 2>decision a moment ago.

0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:16.760
<v Speaker 3>That's it. We're not we're leaving this suburb, or we're

0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:18.320
<v Speaker 3>leaving the state. That's it.

0:02:18.400 --> 0:02:20.040
<v Speaker 2>I want to know people have actually made a life

0:02:20.120 --> 0:02:22.760
<v Speaker 2>changing decision. But it really was a snap one. It

0:02:22.800 --> 0:02:26.040
<v Speaker 2>wasn't like weeks and months of thinking about it, researching.

0:02:26.080 --> 0:02:27.640
<v Speaker 3>You went, you know, I've had enough. This is it

0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:28.640
<v Speaker 3>for the ad said to do it.

0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:31.280
<v Speaker 6>Turn the plane around.

0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:33.800
<v Speaker 5>Biank told me she's just come back from Italy on

0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:35.959
<v Speaker 5>a big, hot holiday with her family. She said, there's

0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:39.880
<v Speaker 5>a small village there that is losing residents and they

0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:42.639
<v Speaker 5>want to keep the village alive, so they're offering people

0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:46.200
<v Speaker 5>to fly into Italy and live there for one dollar

0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:46.519
<v Speaker 5>a health.

0:02:46.600 --> 0:02:47.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I wonder what you say.

0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:49.200
<v Speaker 2>I thought they were inviting people to go and basically

0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:52.040
<v Speaker 2>have sex with the Tonian lectis bin.

0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:59.200
<v Speaker 3>You version of El Farmer? So WiFi. I'd do that

0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:01.000
<v Speaker 3>for a dog what had.

0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:03.880
<v Speaker 2>Become a mum? Oh, just a crystal clear. If you

0:03:03.919 --> 0:03:05.600
<v Speaker 2>get a Donna house in Italy.

0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:08.359
<v Speaker 6>It's so You'm going to send you this article. It's

0:03:08.400 --> 0:03:09.440
<v Speaker 6>so picturesque.

0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:12.720
<v Speaker 2>It's a stunning Italian village in the hills.

0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:15.480
<v Speaker 4>Where's everyone going though, If it's so stunning, why they

0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:15.840
<v Speaker 4>leave it?

0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:19.480
<v Speaker 5>You must have an aging population, aging population, and it's

0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:22.040
<v Speaker 5>in the middle of nowhere, still in Italy, in the

0:03:22.040 --> 0:03:23.040
<v Speaker 5>middle of nowhere Italy.

0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:24.560
<v Speaker 3>But that's like saying move.

0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:28.080
<v Speaker 2>To Australia and they're like, where we buy the Harbor Bridge?

0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:29.920

0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:54.160
<v Speaker 2>On the flight back from Ireland, just saw a twenty

0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:58.280
<v Speaker 2>second advert urging people, urging people to move to Costa

0:03:58.400 --> 0:04:01.080
<v Speaker 2>Rica and said there was just a couple of lines

0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:04.120
<v Speaker 2>like it was just like pretty obvious. Here's this shabby

0:04:04.280 --> 0:04:07.960
<v Speaker 2>slide show right with some bland lift music. It literally

0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:10.360
<v Speaker 2>what it said was move to Costa Rica.

0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:13.280
<v Speaker 6>Usually a country or at least go visit Costa Rica.

0:04:13.480 --> 0:04:13.720
<v Speaker 2>Come.

0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:14.920
<v Speaker 3>This was a system.

0:04:15.680 --> 0:04:17.080
<v Speaker 2>It had a lot of flex going on, and then

0:04:17.080 --> 0:04:20.359
<v Speaker 2>there's twenty seconds of beautiful beaches and then come to

0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:23.000
<v Speaker 2>Costa Rica. So and I thinking, who is making a

0:04:23.040 --> 0:04:25.840
<v Speaker 2>big life changes in that from a twenty second advert

0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:28.480
<v Speaker 2>on a flight when all your emotions and energy levels

0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:30.840
<v Speaker 2>are screwed up. Anyway, let's go to Matt then, So

0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:33.240
