And as I speak to you now, I'm kneeling.

And therefore, if there's no bench seating, I will not sit in the conventional chair, no matter how nice it is.

So that's grand.

But if you're actually...

After 40 minutes in pain, despite medicinal alcohol, you know, it's just not a lot of fun.

So paying a lot of money for that is not a good idea.

Lots of friends in the restaurant sort of business, but RAI and all that kind of good stuff, but...

To be honest with you, as I told you, I'm a most unsuited guest for this because I'm not into fine dining.

I'm into good nutrition and my whole eating habits are bizarre as far as I never eat breakfast unless someone has paid for it and insists that I eat it.

But I normally just have a cup of coffee or a cup of tea, alternating starting with tea and moving on to coffee.

Try not to eat lunch and then have one meal in the evening time at whatever time is available.

And so I remember Gareth Fitzgerald when I was starting in politics used to these nationwide tours on elections and he regarded fuel, you know, food is just refueling.

And so I'm of that genre insofar as that the Ponzi pretentious stuff, you know, give me a break.

But, you know, for those who do enjoy it, good luck to them.

So I get a house wine, get plenty of that into me, get it into you, Cynthia, and basically... Useless customer in a restaurant.

Well, the point is, you know, wine is fine, but with liquor it's quicker.

So I just, I enjoy, I enjoy going to a pub.

I would eat pub grub.

I would eat whatever.

But...
