| 0:13.3 | Now, she asked me the day before the event, which suggests somebody had pulled out. |
| 0:18.0 | I had to say the word cock on stage at the output hall. We don't know what to wear. Can |
| 0:22.8 | the UK just commit to spring? We don't all like the same things. And if we did, the world |
