00:33 Obviously, this is my rock and we like to feel we're a great couple together.
00:39 And so to meet Judith again for the first time after being away,

02:14 It definitely worked last time because I raised 1.1 million pounds.
02:17 Whether I'm going to be able to raise that amount this time, who knows?
