| 0:00.0 | Happy New Year. Happy New Year to you, Ian. Well, it couldn't be worse than the last one, could it, in all sorts of ways, sort of particularly for the country and maybe sort of for various personal reasons that we have as well. But let's not go into that. Let's start with great optimism for 2019. I wonder, assuming that we're still |
| 0:22.4 | going by the end of the year, by which I mean the podcast, rather than that we both carked it. |
| 0:26.4 | I wonder what we will be saying about 2019. I think we might be saying, |
| 0:31.7 | 2019 is the year when the country pulled back from the brink and didn't leave the EU. |
| 0:38.2 | You wish. |
| 0:40.4 | You see, things can only get better in 2019, is my view. |
| 0:44.0 | Where have I heard that one before? |

| 1:35.5 | the foreign office in order to bring back to. Oh, right. Oh yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. I guess you now. And we might |
| 1:39.5 | indulge in a little bit of trumpery and talk to talk about facial hair as well because I know I know you're |
