Speaker 2: what they couldn't be doing over the next couple of days.
Speaker 2: So for me, in my house, it's all about our
Speaker 2: eldest daughter, Ruby turned seventeen on Saturday. I can't believe
Speaker 2: my daughter was act she's seventeen. If she's seventeen, that
Speaker 2: means she's she's seventeen.
Speaker 1: You do the math. She's always an adult. Oh don't
Speaker 1: say that. Break my heart. One year away from a
Speaker 1: stop it. Yeah, she keeps telling me that. Yesterday. I'm like,

Speaker 2: for dinner, and she was going to be having a
Speaker 2: birthday party with her mates tomorronight on the evening because
Speaker 2: she couldn't do it last year because obviously lockdown. And
Speaker 2: then we're like, don't need to worry about that, because

Speaker 2: it feels a bit rushed. It's not me same, it's
Speaker 2: not my birth They said, look, this is best we
Speaker 2: can do. Okay, you still have a good day Saturday.
Speaker 2: I know it's not the birthday you wanted, but that's
Speaker 2: the way the world right now. So Patsy, I hired
Speaker 2: a limousine. Ah, you're this day four hours notice right
Speaker 2: bringing around limousine companies. They're all booked out, five diving companies.
Speaker 2: Who is hiring limos on a Thursday night. I didn't
Speaker 2: know limo life was so popular. And also normally i'd
Speaker 2: get my wife out on this, but I wanted to
Speaker 2: be surprised for everybody. So I was about ten to seven,
Speaker 2: I said, the uber's here, the ubs here, and I
Speaker 2: saw the limo was out there, chatting to the driver
Speaker 2: and stuff like this. And I've never ever been in
Speaker 2: a limo in my life. So anyway, I said, the
Speaker 2: uber's here, and then they all started to come down
Speaker 2: and trips and DRAMs, my two daughters, my wife, and
Speaker 2: my daughter's boyfriend, and I said, this is all wait here,
Speaker 2: wait here, And they were like, what's going on? What's
Speaker 2: outside the door? I think they could sense from me,
Speaker 2: you know, you just want to win. And I was like,
Speaker 2: and then.
Speaker 1: Ruby goes, oh, what's out there? Is it some sort
Speaker 1: of stupid gift. It's not a puppy, is it. You've
Speaker 1: already got too many animals? No, no, no, no no.
Speaker 2: And I opened the door and we all go out there,
Speaker 2: and the girls loved it. Oh my god, if you
Speaker 2: guys ever been a limo, it is so much fun
Speaker 2: you have. Oh. We got in the limo right, and
Speaker 2: then we drove about half hour trip to go to
Speaker 2: the restaurant. Were working in the botanical gardens, and my
Speaker 2: wife loved it. The daughters loved it, and the boyfriend
Speaker 2: as well. It was great fun in there, right, We're

Speaker 2: don't we wind down the windows and wave to people.
Speaker 1: In my job? Right? And it's the eve of a lockdown.
Speaker 2: They don't want to see me in the back of
Speaker 2: a limo waving at them.
Speaker 1: After drinking cheap champagne.
Speaker 2: Hours after they've had the worst news of the last
