Why? Why were you staying with a convicted sex offender?

Right. Because this was serious and I felt that doing it over the telephone was the chicken's way of doing it.

I had to go and see him and talk to him.

Oh, in 2010, there certainly wasn't a party to celebrate his release in December

because it was a small dinner party. There were only eight or ten of us, I think, at the dinner.
