| 0:00.0 | Trish. Thank you for sending that little picture of a dead mouse to me on the WhatsApp. |
| 0:06.6 | May I just remind you that's not what the WhatsApp is for. |
| 0:10.4 | But isn't it weird? I was contemplating this. Isn't it weird how Margot, your evil cat, |
| 0:16.6 | my nemesis, that great big fervor, was outkilling a mouse at the same time, as I had a mouse in |
| 0:23.3 | the house, trouble with a mouse in a house. A mousse? A mousse loose about the mousse? |
| 0:27.4 | Yes, so we were trying to find and I was trying to kindly persuade it to leave. |
| 0:33.2 | Yes, you sent me a picture of Margot who's savagely and brutally taking a mouse. |
| 0:39.9 | Yes, it's live. Well, my dear, I woke up one morning, opened the bedroom door and they're |
| 0:45.1 | outside the door. We pulled out a little present from little fluffy Margot. |
| 0:50.5 | And I was quite a sort of think it was starter, starter pack from her. So she's saying, |

| 1:07.9 | children and then it'll be Neil and then it'll be you. That's the Margot hierarchy of pet |
| 1:13.4 | will kill. Yes, it could be could be the way. I think that's a telepathic thing between us. |
| 1:19.5 | Well, I think she was trying to because we were talking about it and I think she was trying to |
| 1:23.3 | demonstrate her mousing skills and services. Should you require? She might want to pay a little |
| 1:28.9 | visit to your house. I think maybe it's what she's saying. Well, she won't leave it, Trish. Not |
| 1:33.7 | not breathing. She will. I wouldn't do anything to Margot. |
