Never heard of that before.

Let's talk about that the next time we get on the phone or next time we go for dinner.

Even if they don't know anything about it, that's not what it's about.

Okay, is this person interested?

Are they going to engage with me?

So, yeah, I think it's funny.

Rory Sutherland's got this idea.

He says you should have an air fryer girlfriend, not a Fiat 500 girlfriend.

And what he means by that is you want to find somebody

who only you can see the value in in a way that other people can't and who have disadvantages that only you can tolerate in a way that other people can't.

So if you have an air fryer, for instance, it's going to stank up the kitchen.

If you're sensitive to smells, it's going to be a bad thing to have in your house or else you're going to have to put it out on the balcony or in the garage or something like that and that's a bit of a nightmare to use.

that bothered about smells you can have your entire life's calories go through one machine he uses the example that um he doesn't mind noise when he goes to sleep he's a fan of trains and he likes beer so he lived in a house that was next to a pub with a garden that backs onto a railway line because he quite likes the trains they're actually actively sort of enjoyable for him to see going by

He doesn't mind that much about the noise from them or from the beer garden.

And he's made good friends with the landlord of the pub.

And it means that he can order a beer by leaning over his fence.

And asking for it.

And he can sort of enjoy the atmosphere of the pub from the comfort of his own home.

What he's done is he's been able to get a house.

I think it's his cottage that's somewhere in the British countryside.
