And when I was celebrating the highs of the toy show or the lows of what happened a few years ago,

They didn't treat me any differently.

They were both, it was just love, you know, and it's remarkable.

I just hit the jackpot with my family.

Yeah, it was the difference between drowning and having the RNLI coming out and keeping your float.

Yeah.

Not really, because just to go back to the captain of the ship, in my family situation, it was very much a democracy.

There were no kings.

Yeah.

Yeah.

No captains, you know, so we do.

There was very much everyone had one man, one woman, one vote.

So and I'm not the oldest.

There's something to be said for that.

One younger brother who actually turned out to be my chief of staff during all the madness.

He was brilliant.

Even on his holidays, I ruined his life for two years.

But gosh, what a guy.

We used to play together as boys in Connemara in the west of Ireland in the fields for summer after summer.

And then there he was for me right when I needed him most.
